This
Pooling and Servicing Agreement is dated as of October 1, 2006 (the
“Agreement”), among FINANCIAL ASSET SECURITIES CORP., as depositor (the
“Depositor”), XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., as servicer (the “Servicer”) and DEUTSCHE
BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:
The
Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates (collectively, the
“Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the
aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust
Fund created hereunder. The Certificates will consist of nineteen classes
of
certificates, designated as (i) the Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) the Class
A-1F
Certificates, (iii) the Class A-2 Certificates, (iv) the Class A-3 Certificates,
(v) the Class A-4 Certificates, (vi) the Class M-1 Certificates, (vii) the
Class
M-2 Certificates, (viii) the Class M-3 Certificates, (ix) the Class M-4
Certificates, (x) the Class M-5 Certificates, (xi) the Class M-6 Certificates,
(xii) the Class M-7 Certificates, (xiii) the Class M-8 Certificates, (xiv)
the
Class M-9 Certificates, (xv) the Class M-10 Certificates, (xvi) the Class
C
Certificates, (xvii) the Class P Certificates, (xviii) the Class R Certificates
and (xix) the Class R-X Certificates.
REMIC
1
As
provided herein, the Trustee shall elect to treat the segregated pool of
assets
consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject
to
this Agreement (exclusive of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account,
the
Basis Risk Cap Agreements, any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts,
the
Swap Account, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement) as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated
pool
of assets shall be designated as “REMIC 1.” The Class R-1 Interest shall
represent the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC 1 for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following table irrevocably sets
forth
the designation, the Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rate, the initial
Uncertificated Principal Balance and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for
each of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests (as defined herein). None of the REMIC
1
Regular Interests shall be certificated.

Class for the immediately preceding Distribution Date and (2) the outstanding
Unpaid Interest Shortfall Amount, if any, for such Class for such preceding
Distribution Date exceeds (b) the aggregate amount distributed on such Class
in
respect of interest pursuant to clause (a) of this definition on such preceding
Distribution Date, plus interest on the amount of interest due but not
distributed on the Certificates of such Class on such preceding Distribution
Date, to the extent permitted by law, at the Pass-Through Rate for such Class
for the related Accrual Period.
“Value”:
With respect to any Mortgaged Property, the lesser of (i) the value thereof
as
determined by an appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan at

| SECTION 1.03 |
Allocation
of Certain Interest Shortfalls.
|
For
purposes of calculating the amount of the Monthly Interest Distributable
Amount
for the Fixed Rate Certificates, Floating Rate Certificates and the Class
C
Certificates for any Distribution Date, (1) the aggregate amount of any Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls incurred
in respect of the Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date shall be allocated
first, among the Class C Certificates on a pro
rata
basis
based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable
Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount of each such Certificate and,
thereafter, among the Fixed Rate Certificates and Floating Rate Certificates
on
a
pro
rata
basis
based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable
respective Pass-Through Rate on the respective Certificate Principal Balance
of
each such Certificate and (2) the aggregate amount of any Realized Losses
and
Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts shall be allocated among the Class C Certificates
on a pro
rata
basis
based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable
Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount of each such Certificate.
For
purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for
the
REMIC 1 Regular Interests for any Distribution Date the aggregate amount
of any
Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls
incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated first, to REMIC
1
Regular Interest I and to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests ending with the
designation “B”, pro
rata
based
on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective
Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rates on the respective Uncertificated
Principal Balances of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest, and then, to REMIC
1
Regular Interests ending with the designation “A”, pro rata based on, and to the
extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable respective Uncertificated
REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rates on the respective Uncertificated Principal Balances
of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest.
For
purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for
the
REMIC 2 Regular Interests for any Distribution Date:
(A) The
REMIC
2 Marker Allocation Percentage of the aggregate amount of any Net Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls and the REMIC 2 Marker Allocation Percentage of any Relief
Act Interest Shortfalls incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans for any
Distribution Date shall be allocated among REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTAA,
REMIC
2 Regular Interest LTA1A, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA1F, REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTA2, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA3, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTA4,

(vi)
all other assets included or to be included in the Trust Fund and (vii) all
proceeds of any of the foregoing. Such assignment includes all interest and
principal due and collected by the Depositor or the Servicer after the Cut-off

In
connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor, does hereby
deliver
to, and deposit with, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee),
the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan
so
transferred and assigned (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, a “Mortgage
File”):
(i) the
original Mortgage Note including any riders thereto, endorsed either (A)
in
blank, in which case the Trustee shall cause the endorsement to be completed
or
(B) in the following form: “Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as Trustee, without recourse” or with respect to any lost Mortgage
Note, an original Lost Note Affidavit stating that the original mortgage
note
was lost, misplaced or destroyed, together with a copy of the related mortgage
note; provided, however, that such substitutions of Lost Note Affidavits
for
original Mortgage Notes may occur only with respect to Mortgage Loans, the
aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of which is less than or equal to
1.00%
of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date;
(ii) the
original Mortgage (noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loan and
language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage
Loan is
a MOM Loan), with evidence of recording thereon, and the original recorded
power
of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney,
with
evidence of recording thereon or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney has
been
submitted for recording but has not been returned from the applicable public
recording office, has been lost or is not otherwise available, a copy of
such
Mortgage or power of attorney, as the case may be, certified to be a true
and
complete copy of the original submitted for recording;
(iii) unless
the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System, an original Assignment, in
form and substance acceptable for recording. The Mortgage shall be assigned
either (A) in blank or (B) to “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee,
without recourse”;
(iv) an
original of any intervening assignment of Mortgage showing a complete chain
of
assignments (or to MERS if the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System
and noting the presence of MIN);
(v) the
original or a certified copy of lender’s title insurance policy;
(vi) the
original PMI Policy; and
(vii) the
original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or

The
Depositor herewith also delivers to the Trustee an executed copy of the
Assignment Agreement and the Master Agreement.
If
any of
the documents referred to in Section 2.01(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has as
of the
Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned
from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such
public
recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations
of
the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon
(1)
delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) no later
than the Closing Date, of a copy of each such document certified by the
Originator in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office
in
the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that
was
submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Originator,
delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly
upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified
by the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy
of the
original. If the original lender’s title insurance policy, or a certified copy
thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(v) above, the Depositor
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee), the original or a copy of a written commitment or
interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance
or
escrow company, with the original or a certified copy thereof to be delivered
to
the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), promptly upon receipt
thereof. The Servicer or the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to
the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt
thereof any other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received
with
respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original
documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage
Loan.
Upon
discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or
that
a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Trustee (or the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee) shall enforce the obligations of the Originator under
the
Master Agreement to cure such defect or deliver such missing document to
the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within 90 days. If the
Originator does not cure such defect or deliver such missing document within
such time period, the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
enforce the obligations of the Originator to either repurchase or substitute
for
such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.03; provided, however, that
the
Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action pursuant to
this
paragraph unless directed by the Depositor and provided, further, the Depositor
hereby agrees to assist the Trustee in enforcing any obligations of the
Originator to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan which has breached
a
representation or warranty under the Assignment Agreement. In connection
with
the foregoing, it is understood that the Trustee shall have no duty to discover
any such defects except in the course of performing its review of the Mortgage
Files to the extent set forth herein.
Except
with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage,
the Trustee (upon receipt of notice from the Custodian) shall enforce the
obligations of the Originator under the Master Agreement to cause the
Assignments which were delivered in blank to be completed and to record all
Assignments referred to in Section 2.01(iii) hereof and, to the extent
necessary, in Section 2.01(iv) hereof. The Trustee shall enforce the obligations
of the Originator under the Master Agreement to deliver such assignments
for
recording within 180 days of the Closing Date. In the event that any such
Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the
Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Originator under the Master
Agreement to promptly have a substitute Assignment prepared or have such
defect
cured, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be
duly
recorded.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing
and
to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall not be required to be submitted
for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland)
unless the Trustee and the Depositor receive notice that such failure to
record
would result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the
rating
on any Class of Certificates; provided, however, each Assignment, except
with
respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage,
shall
be submitted for recording in the manner described above, at no expense to
the
Trust Fund or Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction
by the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights,
(ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, (iii) the occurrence
of
a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (iv) the
occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof, (v)
upon
receipt of notice from the Servicer, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency
or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage and (vi)
upon receipt of notice from the Servicer, any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days
or
more Delinquent. In the event of (i) through (vi) set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Originator
to deliver such Assignments for recording as provided above, promptly and in any
event within 30 days following receipt of notice by the Originator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Originator fails to pay the cost of
recording the Assignments, such expense will be paid by the Trustee shall
be
reimbursed for such expenses by the Trust. In the event an Assignment is
not
recorded, neither the Trustee nor the Servicer will have any liability for
its
failure to act on notices that were not received and would have been had
such
Assignment been recorded, except, in the case of the Trustee, with respect
to
Mortgage Loans that are subject to provisions (i) through (vi) set forth
in this
paragraph, if the Trustee shall have failed to timely request the Originator
to
cause such Assignments to be recorded.
The
Servicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan
entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their
execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian
with
a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within
two
weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted
for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 365
days
of its submission for recordation. In the event that the Servicer cannot
provide
a copy of such document certified by the public recording office within such
365
day period, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, within such 365
day
period, an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer which shall (A) identify the
recorded document, (B) state that the recorded document has not been delivered
to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office,
(C) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording
office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, if known
and
(D) specify the date the applicable recorded document is expected to be
delivered to the Custodian, and, upon receipt of a copy of such document
certified by the public recording office, the Servicer shall immediately
deliver
such document to the Custodian. In the event the appropriate public recording
office will not certify as to the accuracy of such document, the Servicer
shall
deliver a copy of such document certified by an officer of the Servicer to
be a
true and complete copy of the original to the Custodian.
The
parties hereto understand and agree that it is not intended that any Mortgage
Loan be included in the Trust that is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined by the
Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any other applicable
predatory or abusive lending laws.
The
Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement (in its capacity as
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) and the Basis Risk Cap Agreements. The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Holders of the Fixed Rate Certificates and
Floating Rate Certificates by their acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge
and agree that the Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations
under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Basis Risk Cap Agreements
and
shall do so solely in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee
or
Trustee, as the case may be, and not in its individual capacity. Every provision
of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee’s execution of
the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and the Basis Risk Cap Agreements, and the
performance of its duties and satisfaction of its obligations
thereunder.
| SECTION 2.02 |
Acceptance
by Trustee.
|
Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below
and
any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph
below, the Trustee acknowledges receipt (or receipt by the Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all
other
assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it holds and
will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting
a
Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other
assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The
Trustee agrees to execute and deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer on
or
prior to the Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the related original
Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan (with any exceptions noted), substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit F-3 hereto.
The
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) agrees, for the benefit
of
the Certificateholders, to review, or that it has reviewed pursuant to Section
2.01 (or to cause the Custodian to review or that it has caused the Custodian
to
have reviewed) each Mortgage File on or prior to the Closing Date, with respect
to each Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any document delivered after the
Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan, within 45 days after the assignment thereof). The
Trustee further agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to certify
to
the Depositor and the Servicer in substantially the form attached hereto
as
Exhibit F-1, within 45 days after the Closing Date, with respect to each
Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup
Day,
within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage,
within 45 days after the assignment thereof) that, as to each Mortgage Loan
listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in
full
or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed
thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required
to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its
possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been
mutilated, damaged or torn and appear on their face to relate to such Mortgage
Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the
information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items
(1) and (3) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information
set
forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting
such
review, the Trustee (or the Custodian, as applicable) is under no duty or
obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, legally
enforceable, valid or binding or appropriate for the represented purpose
or that
they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport
to be on their face.
Prior
to
the first anniversary date of this Agreement the Trustee shall deliver (or
cause
the Custodian to deliver) to the Depositor and the Servicer a final
certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2 (or, in the case
of the
Custodian, Exhibit 2 to the Custodial Agreement), with any applicable exceptions
noted thereon.
If
in the
process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case
may
be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee (or the Custodian,
as
applicable) finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage
File to be missing or not to conform with respect to any characteristics
which
are within the scope of the Trustee’s (or the Custodian’s, as applicable) review
as provided herein, at the conclusion of its review, the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall so notify the Seller, the Depositor,
the Originator and the Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the
Depositor or the Servicer (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written
notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the representations and
warranties made by the Originator in the Master Agreement or the Seller in
the
Assignment Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely
affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders in
such
Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties to this Agreement.
The
Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein
contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage
Notes
and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of
any
liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be part of the
Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency
by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to
be
made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall
be
deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority
perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest
in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related
documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under
applicable law.
The
Trustee is hereby authorized and directed by the Depositor to execute and
deliver the Transaction Addendum Soundview 2006-WF1 to the Master Consulting
Agreement with the Credit Risk Manager.
| SECTION 2.03 |
Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Originator or the
Seller.
|
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of written notice from the Custodian of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File
or of
the breach by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, of any
representation, warranty or covenant under the Master Agreement or the
Assignment Agreement, as applicable, in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall request that the Originator
deliver such missing document or that the Originator or the Seller cure such
defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Originator or the Seller
was
notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Originator
or
the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or
breach
in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce (in
the
manner set forth in Section 2.01) the Originator’s obligation under the Master
Agreement or Assignment Agreement or the Seller’s obligation under the
Assignment Agreement and notify the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
of
its obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the
Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration
of
such 90 day period (subject to Section 2.03(e)). The Purchase Price for the
repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in
the
Collection Account, and the Trustee, (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee), upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such
deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the
related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator
or
the Seller, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary
to vest
in the Originator or Seller, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto and the Trustee and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility
with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall
have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment
for
its intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as
provided above, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, 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 Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d);
provided, however, the Seller may not substitute for any Mortgage Loan which
breaches a representation or warranty regarding abusive or predatory lending
laws. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, is not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which
is
registered on the MERS® System, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, at
its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS
to
execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer
the Mortgage from MERS to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, and
shall
cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in
accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations. It is understood and agreed that
the obligation of the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, to cure or
to
repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document
is
missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which
such
a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy
against
the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, respecting such omission, defect
or
breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Depositor or receipt of notice by
the
Depositor of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Depositor set forth in Section 2.06, which materially and adversely affects
the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall
cure such breach in all material respects.
(b) Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by
the
Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects
the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall
cure such breach in all material respects.
(c) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage
Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) 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 Originator or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by
the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, delivering to the Trustee, (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan
or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the Assignment to the Trustee,
and
such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon,
as
are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing
that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition
thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment (as described below),
if any,
in connection with such substitution. The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee), shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and, within 45 days thereafter, shall review such documents
as
specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer,
with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall deliver to the
Depositor and the Servicer a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit
F-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect
to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not
part
of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders
will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the Originator
or
the Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor
shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Trustee, who shall
forward
such notice to the Certificateholders, that such substitution has taken place,
shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Custodian. Upon such
substitution by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool
and
shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the
Assignment Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties
thereof included in the Assignment Agreement as of the date of
substitution.
For
any
month in which the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes one
or
more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage
Loans,
the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Adjustment”), if any,
by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
exceeds
the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the
Stated
Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one
month’s interest on such Stated Principal Balance at the applicable Mortgage
Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit
in
the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment, if
any,
and the Trustee, (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), upon receipt
of
the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification
by the
Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Seller,
as
applicable, the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute
and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to
it
and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.
In
addition, pursuant to the terms of the Assignment Agreement, the Originator
or
the Seller, as applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to
the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not
cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without
limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section
860F(a)(I) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under
Section 860G(d)(I) of the Code or (b) any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at
any time that any Certificate is outstanding. If such Opinion of Counsel
can not
be delivered, then such substitution may only be effected at such time as
the
required Opinion of Counsel can be given.
(d) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee that any Mortgage
Loan
does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two
Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties hereto. In
connection therewith, the Originator or the Depositor, as the case may be,
shall
repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d),
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected
Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such
notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or
substitution shall be made (i) by the Originator if the affected Mortgage
Loan’s
status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by the Originator under the Assignment
Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a
non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or warranty of the
Depositor set forth in Section 2.06, or if its status as a non-qualified
mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such repurchase
or
substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a)
or
2.03(d), if made by the Originator, or Section 2.03(b), if made by the
Depositor. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor or the Originator,
as the
case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same
manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty.
(e) Upon
discovery or receipt of written notice of a breach by the Seller of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller under the Assignment
Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects
the
value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders,
and if either (i) such Mortgage Loan is not in breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of the Originator or (ii) the Originator has failed
to
remedy such representation, warranty or covenant with respect to such Mortgage
Loan, then the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Seller to remedy
such
breach, to the extent provided in the Assignment Agreement, in the manner
and
within the time periods set forth in the Assignment Agreement.

that
it cannot perform each and every covenant made by it and contained in this
Agreement;
(vi) No
litigation is pending against the Servicer that would materially and adversely
affect the execution, delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or the
ability of the Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans or to perform any of
its
other obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof;
(vii) There
are
no actions or proceedings against, or investigations known to it of, the
Servicer before any court, administrative or other tribunal (A) that might
prohibit its entering into this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (C) that
might prohibit or materially and adversely affect the performance by the
Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of,
this
Agreement;
(viii) No
consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency
or
body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer
of,
or compliance by the Servicer with, this Agreement or the consummation by
it of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents,
approvals, authorizations or orders, if any, that have been obtained prior
to
the Closing Date; and
(ix) Neither
this Agreement nor any information, certificate of an officer, statement
furnished in writing or report delivered to the Trustee by the Servicer in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains or will contain
any untrue statement of a material fact.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and covenants
set
forth in this Section 2.05 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to
the

benefit of the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificateholders. Upon discovery
by any of the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of
the
foregoing representations, warranties and covenants which materially and
adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan, Prepayment Charge or the
interests therein of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice (but in no event later than two Business
Days
following such discovery) to the Servicer and the Trustee. The foregoing
shall
not, however, limit any remedies available to the Certificateholders, the
Depositor or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, pursuant to
the
Master Agreement respecting a breach of the representations, warranties and
covenants of the Originator.

as
that term is used in section 1.6041-4(a)(4) of the Regulations for United
States
federal income tax purposes. The Depositor understands that both the Trust

ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS
| SECTION 3.01 |
Servicer
to Act as Servicer.
|
The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the
Trust
Fund and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders
(as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance
with
the terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the
extent
consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and
administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due
consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage
lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without
regard to:
(1) any
relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(2) the
ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate
of the Servicer;
(3) the
Servicer’s obligation to make Advances or Servicing Advances; or
(4) the
Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services
hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer (a) shall seek to maximize
the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Notes
and (b) may waive (or permit a Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge
only
under the following circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary
in
servicing similar mortgage loans and such waiver relates to a default or
a
reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the
Servicer, maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value
of
such Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the collection
of
such Prepayment Charge would be in violation of applicable laws, (iii) the
amount of the Prepayment Charge set forth on the Prepayment Charge Schedule
is
not consistent with the related Mortgage Note or is otherwise unenforceable,
(iv) the collection of such Prepayment Charge would be considered “predatory”
pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal,
state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having
jurisdiction over such matters or (v) the Mortgage Loan has been accelerated
or
paid off in connection with the workout or borrower default, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or state or federal law might permit
the
imposition of a Prepayment Charge. If a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted
by meeting the standard described in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, then
the
Trustee (upon receipt of written notice from the Servicer that such waiver
has
occurred) shall enforce the obligation of the Originator to pay the amount
of
such waived Prepayment Charge to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates. If a
Prepayment Charge is waived other than in accordance with (i), (ii), (iii),
(iv)
or (v) above, the Servicer shall pay the amount of such waived Prepayment
Charge
to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account for the benefit of
the
Holders of the Class P Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, that
the
Servicer shall not have an obligation to pay the amount of any uncollected
Prepayment Charge if the failure to collect such amount is the direct result
of
inaccurate or incomplete information furnished to the Servicer by the Originator
or a prior servicer, in which case the Trustee (upon receipt of written notice
from the Servicer that such waiver has occurred) shall enforce the obligation
of
the Originator to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge to the
Trustee
for deposit in the Distribution Account for the benefit of the Holders of
the
Class P Certificates.
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer shall also seek to maximize
the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms
of
this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have
full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided
in
Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection
with
such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own
name
or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the
Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with
respect
to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure
proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the
ownership of such properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such
properties, on behalf of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer
shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state
and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required
to be
provided to them thereby. The Servicer shall also comply in the performance
of
this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of any standard
hazard
insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at
the
written request of the Servicer, and furnish to the Servicer and any
Sub-Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative
duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to the Servicer a power of
attorney to carry out such duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the
actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of
attorney.
In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Servicer shall
advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting
the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which
advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further
as
provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers
in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit provided,
however, that (subject to Section 3.07) the Servicer may capitalize the amount
of any Servicing Advances incurred pursuant to this Section 3.01 in connection
with the modification of a Mortgage Loan.
The
Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of
the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be,
believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage
Loan on
the MERS System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan
on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and
the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment
and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording
of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses (i) incurred as a result
of MERS
discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with
the
MERS System or (ii) if the affected Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the
judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, incurred
in
connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence, shall be
subject to withdrawal by the Servicer from the Collection Account.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any
future
advances (other than Servicing Advances) with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except
as provided in Section 4.04) and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan (except with respect to a
Mortgage Loan that is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such
default is reasonably foreseeable) that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce
or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual
payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage
Loan
or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage
Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage
Loan
under Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited
transactions” or “contributions after the startup date” under the REMIC
Provisions.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary and notwithstanding its ability
to do
so pursuant to the terms of the related mortgage note, the Servicer shall
not be
required to enforce any provision in any mortgage note the enforcement of
which
would violate federal, state or local laws or ordinances designed to discourage
predatory lending practices.
The
Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided,
however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer from the
responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
| SECTION 3.02 |
Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between Servicer and Sub-Servicers;
Subcontractors.
|
(a) The
Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements (provided that such agreements
would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by the Rating Agencies
of the
rating on any Class of Certificates) with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing
and
administration of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that each such
sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement
must provide for the servicing of Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with
the
servicing arrangement contemplated hereunder.
(b) Each
Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or
states
in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated,
if and
to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform
its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii)
a
Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing
Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08, 3.20 or 3.21 and provide for servicing
of
the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer
will examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms
thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent
with
any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers
may
enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into
different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any
such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form
shall
be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of
the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to
at
least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08
(relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts,
or
credits and charges to the Sub- Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount
of
remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer), Section 3.20 or Section
3.21,
are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore
prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee copies of all
Sub-Servicing Agreements and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly
upon the Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.
(c) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer (except as otherwise
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the
Trustee
and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer
under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation,
any
obligation of a Sub-Servicer to make advances in respect of delinquent payments
as required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such
form
and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its
good
faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage
Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense,
and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting
from
such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery
of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
| SECTION 3.03 |
Successor
Sub-Servicers.
|
The
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the
rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing
Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing
obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer
without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Servicer,
and
the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or
shall
enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which
qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may
be
immediately terminated by the Trustee (if the Trustee is acting as successor
Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in
the
event that the Servicer, shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer
(including termination due to a Servicer Event of Termination).
| SECTION 3.04 |
Liability
of the Servicer.
|
Notwithstanding
any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference
to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall
remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders
for the
servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability
by
virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the
same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with a Sub- Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such
indemnification.
| SECTION 3.05 |
No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and the Trustee
or
Certificateholders.
|
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone,
and the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto
and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with
respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Servicer
shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective
of whether the Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient
to pay such fees.
| SECTION 3.06 |
Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements.
|
In
the
event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including
by
reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination), the Trustee
(or
the successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section 7.02) shall thereupon
assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each
Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the
Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with
its
terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee (or
the
successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject
to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Servicer’s interest therein and to
have replaced the Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to
the
same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming
party, except that (i) the Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any
liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none
of the
Trustee, its designee or any successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed
any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to
be
the Servicer.
The
Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee deliver to the
assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party.
| SECTION 3.07 |
Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
|
The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for
under
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent
such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions
of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as
it
would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans
and
held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and the servicing
standards set forth in Section 3.01, the Servicer may in its discretion (i)
waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest or (ii)
extend
the due dates for Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of
not
greater than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (ii)
above
shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes
of
any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any
such
arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make timely
advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section
4.03
and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment
of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer,
consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may waive, modify
or
vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including, but not limited to,
modifications that change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal
or
interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept
payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal
Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a “Short
Pay-off”) or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term
or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Servicer’s
determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not
materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into
account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such action);
provided, however, the Servicer shall not modify any Mortgage Loan in a manner
that would capitalize the amount of any unpaid Monthly Payments or tax or
insurance payments advanced by the Servicer on the Mortgagor’s behalf unless the
related Mortgagor shall have remitted an amount equal to a full Monthly Payment
(or, in the case of any Mortgage Loan subject to a forbearance plan or
bankruptcy plan, a full modified monthly payment under such plan) in each
of the
three calendar months immediately preceding the month of such
modification.
| SECTION 3.08 |
Sub-Servicing
Accounts.
|
In
those
cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and
maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with
all
requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more
than
two Business Days after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation
to
the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter remit such proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection
Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts
in
the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall
be
deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer
receives such payments.
| SECTION 3.09 |
Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing
Accounts.
|
To
the
extent the terms of a Mortgage provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer
shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into
which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard
insurance premiums, hazard insurance proceeds (to the extent such amounts
are to
be applied to the restoration or repair of the property) and comparable items
for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow Payments”) shall be deposited and
retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall
deposit in the Servicing Accounts on a daily basis and in no event later
than
the second Business Day after receipt, and retain therein, all Escrow Payments
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans, for the purpose of effecting
the
timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement.
Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect
timely payment of taxes, assessments, fire, flood, and hazard insurance
premiums, and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Servicer out of related
collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect
to
taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to fire, flood and
hazard
insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors
on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing
Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in
respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article
IX. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall pay to the Mortgagors
interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and,
to
the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is
insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any
reimbursement therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall
not be
obligated to collect Escrow Payments if the related Mortgage Loan does not
require such payments but the Servicer shall nevertheless be obligated to
make
Servicing Advances as provided in Section 3.01. In the event the Servicer
shall
deposit in the Servicing Accounts any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Servicing Accounts,
any provision to the contrary notwithstanding.
To
the
extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Servicer
(i)
shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a
manner
and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property
due
to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien and (ii) shall
ensure
that all insurance required to be maintained on the Mortgaged Property pursuant
to this Agreement is maintained. If any such payment has not been made and
the
Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage Loan
being
imposed, the Servicer will, to the extent required to avoid loss of the
Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge
such lien on the Mortgaged Property. The Servicer assumes full responsibility
for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments of all such bills
irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the payment of same or
the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make Servicing Advances from
its own
funds to effect such payments.
| SECTION 3.10 |
Collection
Account and Distribution Account.
|
(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
separate, segregated trust accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection
Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit
or
cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible
Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage
loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily
basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt
thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event
more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into the clearing
account, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following
payments and collections received or made by it from and after the Cut-off
Date
(other than in respect of principal or interest on the related Mortgage Loans
due on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments (other than Principal
Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable
to a
Due Period subsequent thereto:
(1) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments on the
Mortgage Loans;
(2) all
payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee) on each
Mortgage Loan;
(3) all
Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than proceeds collected
in
respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid by the Servicer in
connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant
to
Section 9.01);
(4) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with
any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account;
(5) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(6) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with
Section 2.03 or Section 9.01;
(7) all
amounts required to be deposited in connection with shortfalls in principal
amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.03;
and
(8) all
Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and any Servicer Prepayment
Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans.
For
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date with respect
to
any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date of
substitution.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption
fees (other than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the Servicer
in
the Collection Account. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision
herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately
available funds for deposit in an account established and maintained by the
Trustee, held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the
“Distribution Account”): (i) on the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of
the Available Funds for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in
the
Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges collected during
the
applicable Prepayment Period by the Servicer and Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) on each
Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the
Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to
the
next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection
Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of
the
definition of “Eligible Account.” If the balance on deposit in the Collection
Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business
Day
and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant
to
clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account,” the Servicer shall, on such
Business Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all amounts payable
or reimbursable to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Seller or
any
Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons
entitled thereto.
(c) Funds
in
the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance
with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give advance
notice to the Trustee of the location of the Collection Account maintained
by it
when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall forward
such
notice to the Depositor.
(d) Funds
held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer
to
the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution Account
and
must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set forth in the
definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed
to be
a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
have
the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection
(d).
In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it
may at
any time request that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution
Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee from
time to time for deposit, and upon written notification from the Servicer,
the
Trustee shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(1) any
Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;
(2) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24(d) or (f) in
connection with any REO Property;
(3) any
amounts to be paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01; and
(4) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.25 in connection with
any
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
(e) The
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to
be
deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in connection with losses realized
on
Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection
Account.
| SECTION 3.11 |
Withdrawals
from the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account.
|
The
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account
for any of the following purposes, without priority, or as described in Section
4.03:
(1) to
remit
to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts required
to
be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted
pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(2) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for Advances, but only to the
extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of the related
Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to which
such
Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of Section
4.03;
(3) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer (A) any unpaid
Servicing Fees, (B) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or other amounts as may be collected by the Servicer from a Mortgagor,
or otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (C) without
limiting any right of withdrawal set forth in clause (4) below, any Servicing
Advances made with respect to a Mortgage Loan that, following the final
liquidation of a Mortgage Loan are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the
extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds
received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse
the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for such Servicing Advances;
(4) to
pay to
the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee)
on the
Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds
deposited in the Collection Account;
(5) to
pay to
the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03
or
Section 3.16(c) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase
or substitution, as the case may be;
(6) to
reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or Servicing Advance previously made
which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4.03;
(7) to
reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by or reimbursable
to the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section
6.03;
(8) to
reimburse the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses
reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the
purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement that were included
in
the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out
of
the enforcement of the purchase obligation;
(9) [reserved];
(10) to
pay,
or to reimburse the Servicer for advances in respect of expenses incurred
in
connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b); and
(11) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 9.01.
The
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan
by
Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to
subclauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (8) and (9) above. The Servicer shall
provide written notification to the Trustee, on or prior to the next succeeding
Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection
Account pursuant to subclause (vii) above.
(b) The
Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution
Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:
(i) to
make
distributions in accordance with Section 4.01;
(ii) to
pay
itself the Trustee Fee pursuant to Section 8.05;
(iii) to
pay
any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to Section 9.01(g);
(iv) to
clear
and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 10.01;
(v) to

including but not limited to funds required to be paid pursuant to Section
3.06,
Section 4.01, Section 7.02 and Section 8.05;
(vi) to
pay to
itself, any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the
Distribution Account other than any interest or investment income earned
during
the Float Period;
(vii) to
pay to
an Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances and/or Servicing Advances
pursuant to Section 3.28;
(viii) to
pay
the Credit Risk Manager the Credit Risk Manager Fee; and
(ix) to
pay
the PMI Insurer the PMI Insurance Fee.
| SECTION 3.12 |
Investment
of Funds in the Collection Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection
Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”) to invest
the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments
specified in such instruction bearing interest or sold at a discount, and
maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the
Trustee
is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds
are
required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if
the
Trustee is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held
to
maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment
Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such)
or in
the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to sole
possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in
the
Collection Account, the Distribution Account and any income and gain realized
thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument
evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee
or its
agent, together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title
to
such investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit
in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment
payable on demand, the Trustee shall:
(x) consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon
be
made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder
and (2)
the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such Permitted Investment would not
constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit
in
the Investment Account.
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer, shall be for the
benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance
with Section 3.11. The
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account the amount of any loss of
principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with
funds
in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.
Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in
the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee
may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon the request
of the
Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights
allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
(c) Upon
receipt of written instructions from the majority Holder of the Class C
Certificates or if the Class C Certificates have been pledged pursuant to
an
Indenture, the majority equity holder in such transaction (either such party,
the “Class C Holder”), the Trustee shall invest the funds on deposit in the
Distribution Account during the Float Period. Such instructions from the
Class C Holder shall remain in force until the Trustee receives written
instructions from the Class C Holder to cease investing such funds during
the
Float Period. All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Distribution Account during the Float Period shall
be included in Available Funds for the related Distribution Date. The Class
C Holder shall deposit in the Distribution Account, from its own funds, the
amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in the Distribution Account during the
Float Period immediately upon notification of such loss. The Trustee may
at its
discretion, and without liability, hold the funds in the Distribution Account
after the Float Period uninvested.
| SECTION 3.13 |
[Reserved].
|
| SECTION 3.14 |
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.
|
The
terms
of each Mortgage Note require the related Mortgagor to maintain fire and
hazard
insurance policies. To the extent such policies are not maintained, the Servicer
shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged Property fire and hazard
insurance with extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of
the
current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and the amount necessary
to
fully compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements which are a part
of
such property on a replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not
less
than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance
clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Servicer shall
also
cause to be maintained fire and hazard insurance on each REO Property with
extended coverage as is customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property
is
located in an amount which is at
least equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the insurable value on a replacement
cost basis of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the greater
of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an
amount
such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to prevent the
application to the Mortgagor or the loss payee of any coinsurance clause
under
the policy.
The
Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable
rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any
amounts to be collected by the Servicer under any such policies (other than
amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject
to
the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance
with the procedures that the Servicer would follow in servicing loans held
for
its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage
and
Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage
Loan,
or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.24, if
received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Servicer
in
maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance
of
the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage
Loan
so permit; provided, however, that the Servicer may capitalize, pursuant
to the
terms of Section 3.07, the amount of any Servicing Advances incurred pursuant
to
this Section 3.14 in connection with the modification of a Mortgage Loan.
It is
understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is
to be
required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. If the related Mortgaged Property is located in an
area
identified by the Flood Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available) the Servicer shall
cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements
of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with
a
generally acceptable insurance carrier acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx
Mac
in an amount representing coverage equal to the lesser of: (i) the minimum
amount required, under the terms of coverage, to compensate for any damage
or
loss on a replacement cost basis (or the unpaid balance of the mortgage if
replacement cost coverage is not available for the type of building insured)
and
(ii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended. If at any time during the term of the
Mortgage Loan, the Servicer determines, in accordance with applicable law,
that
a Mortgaged Property is located in a special flood hazard area and is not
covered by flood insurance or is covered in an amount less than the amount
required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Servicer
shall notify the related Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood
insurance coverage, and if said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood
insurance coverage within forty-five (45) days after such notification, the
Company shall immediately force place the required flood insurance on the
Mortgagor’s behalf. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the
lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and
(ii)
the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged
Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area
in
which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such
program).
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with an
insurer having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating
Guide insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in
the
first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed
that
such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences
of this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have
been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds
the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of
the
Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of
itself,
the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, claims under any
such
blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
The
Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, which policy
or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans,
unless
the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae
or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form
and
amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless
the
Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if
an
Affiliate of the Servicer, has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond
coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and
omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without
thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee.
| SECTION 3.15 |
Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale”
clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer
shall
not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer
reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
“due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso
to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption
and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has
been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable
state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized
to
enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person, pursuant
to
which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such person is
substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note,
provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the then current underwriting criteria of the Servicer for mortgage
loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. In connection with any assumption or
substitution, the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow
such practices and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general
mortgage servicing activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned
solely by it. The Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and
modification agreement, however, unless (to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in writing, of the continued
effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected
by
the Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In
connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of
the
Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required
pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and
the
Custodian that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed
by forwarding to the Custodian the executed original of such substitution
or
assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage
File
and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to
the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part
thereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed
to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage
that
is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
| SECTION 3.16 |
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall, consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section
3.01, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties
securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default
and as
to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be responsible for
all
costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however,
that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing Advances by
the
Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.24. The foregoing
is
subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall
have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer shall not be required
to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it
shall
determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds
of
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for
such
expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the
Trust
Fund, the Servicer or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold
title
to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of
such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to
time,
or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined,
based
on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person who regularly
conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards,
that:
(1) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to
take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under
any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials
are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the
best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to
the
affected Mortgaged Property.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall
be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix),
such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring
any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall
take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust
Fund.
The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix),
such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c) The
Servicer shall have the right to purchase from REMIC 1 any defaulted Mortgage
Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent, which the Servicer determines in
good
faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence
of such
determination to be delivered in writing to the Trustee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase
Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall
be
deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written
certification from the Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to
be
released to the Servicer, the related Mortgage File and the Trustee, upon
receipt of written certification from the Servicer, as applicable, of such
deposit, shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment,
in each case without recourse, as the Servicer, shall furnish and as shall
be
necessary to vest in the Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto.
(d) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as
any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in
the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances,
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii)(B); second, to accrued and unpaid
interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination,
or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are
to
be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination;
and
third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of
the
recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued
and
unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will
be
allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and
second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of
the
recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii)(A).
| SECTION 3.17 |
Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files.
|
(a) Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian, by a Request
for Release in the form of Exhibit E (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited)
of a Servicing Officer and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of
the
Trustee, deliver to it the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification
and
request, the Custodian shall within three Business Days release the related
Mortgage File to the Servicer and the Servicer is authorized to cause the
removal from the registration on the MERS® System of any such Mortgage, if
applicable, and to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction
or
cancellation or of partial or full release. No expenses incurred in connection
with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable
to the Collection Account or the Distribution Account.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Custodian shall, upon request of the
Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release in the form
of
Exhibit E, release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer, and the Trustee
shall, at the direction of the Servicer, execute such documents as shall
be
necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release
shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document previously
requested from the Mortgage File to the Custodian when the need therefor
by the
Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and
the
Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in
the
Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered
to
an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required
by law,
for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings
for the
foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially,
and
the Servicer has delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, a
certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address
of the
Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the
purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a
Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that
all
amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that
are
required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited,
or
that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request
for
Release shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to
the
Servicer.
(c) Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or
other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in
respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain
a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided
by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each
such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage,
except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee’s sale.
| SECTION 3.18 |
Servicing
Compensation.
|
As
compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall
be
entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable
solely
from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section
3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing
Fees out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted
by Section 3.11(a)(iii)(A) and out of amounts derived from the operation
and
sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.24. The right
to
receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except
in
connection with the transfer of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges
and
other similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained
by the Servicer (subject to Section 3.25) only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account,
and
pursuant to Section 3.24(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional
servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein,
subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.25. The Servicer shall be required
to pay
all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder (including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14,
to the
extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a
Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer) and shall not
be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
herein.
| SECTION 3.19 |
Reports;
Collection Account Statements.
|
Not
later
than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward
to
the Trustee, upon the request of the Trustee, a statement prepared by the
Servicer setting forth the status of the Collection Account as of the close
of
business on the last day of the calendar month relating to such Distribution
Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate
amount
of deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category
of
deposit specified in Section 3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified
in Section 3.11. Such statement may be in the form of the then current Xxxxxx
Mae Monthly Accounting Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program
with appropriate additions and changes, and shall also include information
as to
the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances of all of the Mortgage
Loans
as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution
Date. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the
requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to
the
Trustee.
| SECTION 3.20 |
Statement
as to Compliance.
|
On
or
before March 15th
of each
calendar year (or March 24th
of any
calendar year in which a Form 10-K will not be filed), commencing in 2007,
the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a statement of compliance (an “Annual
Statement of Compliance”) addressed to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the
effect that (i) a review of the Servicer’s activities during the immediately
preceding calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) and of its performance
under this Agreement during such period has been made under such officer’s
supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such
review, the Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement
in all material respects throughout such calendar year (or applicable portion
thereof) or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in
any
material respect, specifically identifying each such failure known to such
officer and the nature and the status thereof.
The
Servicer shall deliver a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by any
Sub-Servicer to which the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities
with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to the Trustee as described above as
and
when required with respect to the Servicer.
If
the
Servicer cannot deliver the related Annual Statement of Compliance by March
15th
of such year (or March 24th
of any
calendar year in which a Form 10-K will not be filed), the Depositor, may
permit
a cure period for the Servicer to deliver such Annual Statement of Compliance,
but in no event later than March 25th
of such
year.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.20 (taking into account
the
cure period if permitted as set forth in the preceding paragraph) shall be
deemed an Event of Default, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever
rights
the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages,
including injunctive relief and specific performance give notice to Noteholders
that they have ten Business Days to object. If no such objection is received,
the Trustee shall immediately terminate all the rights and obligations of
the
Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds
thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same (other than as provided
herein with respect to unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances or accrued
and unpaid Servicing Fees). This paragraph shall supercede any other provision
in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and the Trustee
and
their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
actual
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such
Person
may sustain based upon a breach of the Servicer's obligations under this
Section
3.20.
| SECTION 3.21 |
Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation
Reports.
|
Pursuant
to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation
AB,
the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on or before March 15th
of each
calendar year (or March 24th
of any
calendar year in which a Form 10-K will not be filed) beginning in 2007,
a
report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance (an “Assessment of
Compliance”) with the applicable Servicing Criteria (as set forth in Exhibit S)
during the preceding calendar year. The Assessment of Compliance must contain
the following:
(a) A
statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance
with
the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;
(b) A
statement by such officer that such officer used the Servicing Criteria,
which
will also be attached to the Assessment of Compliance, to assess compliance
with
the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;
(c) An
assessment by such officer of the Servicer’s compliance with the applicable
Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year,
including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect
thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities
it
performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a
whole
involving the Servicer;
(d) A
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation
report on the Servicer’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of
the preceding calendar year; and
(e) A
statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable
to
the Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs
with
respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving
the
Servicer.
On
or
before March 15th
of each
calendar year (or March 24th
of any
calendar year in which a Form 10-K will not be filed) beginning in 2007,
the
Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee a report of a registered public accounting
firm reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Depositor (an “Attestation
Report”). Such Attestation Report shall be in accordance with Rules 1 02(a)(3)
and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
The
Servicer shall cause and any Sub-Servicer, and each subcontractor determined
by
the Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning
of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor
an
Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided
above.
Such
Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall address each of the
Servicing Criteria applicable to the Sub-Servicer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, as to any subcontractor determined by the Servicer to be
“participating in the servicing function,” an Assessment of Compliance is not
required to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with
respect to the Trust Fund.
If
the
Servicer cannot deliver any Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report
by
March 15th
of such
year (or March 24th
of any
calendar year in which a Form 10-K will not be filed), the Depositor may
permit
a cure period for the Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or
Attestation Report, but in no event later than March 25th
of such
year.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.21 (taking into account
the
cure period if permitted as set forth in the preceding paragraph) shall be
deemed an Event of Default, and the Trustee may, in addition to whatever
rights
the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages,
including injunctive relief and specific performance, give notice to Noteholders
that they have ten Business Days to object. If no such objection is received,
the Indenture Trustee shall immediately terminate all the rights and obligations
of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and
the
proceeds thereof without compensating the Servicer for the same (other than
as
provided herein with respect to unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances
or
accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees). This paragraph shall supercede any other
provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
Each
of
the Trustee and the Credit Risk Manager shall also provide an Assessment
of
Compliance (with respect to items (a) - (d) but not (e) above) and Attestation
Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each
of the
Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit S hereto which are indicated as
applicable to the “trustee”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any trustee,
an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered unless it is
required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.
Each
of
the Servicer, the Trustee and the Credit Risk Manager shall indemnify and
hold
harmless the Depositor and the Trustee, as applicable and its officers,
directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs,
judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain based
upon a
breach of the Servicer’s, the Trustee’s or the Credit Risk Manager’s
obligations, as applicable, under this Section 3.21.
| SECTION 3.22 |
[Reserved].
|
| SECTION 3.23 |
Access
to Certain Documentation.
|
The
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee and the Depositor at the request of
the
Office of the Controller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision,
the
FDIC, and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority
that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder, access to the
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and
regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon
reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the
Servicer designated by it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding
the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations will be provided
to such Certificateholder, the Trustee and to any Person identified to the
Servicer as a prospective transferee of a Certificate subject to the execution
of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
servicer, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices
of
the Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting such
access. Nothing in this Section 3.22 shall derogate from the obligation of
any
such party to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of any such party to provide access
as
provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute
a
breach of this Section 3.22.
The
Servicer agrees to fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting
Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information
(e.g.,
favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian
and
Trans Union Credit Information Servicer, on a monthly basis.
| SECTION 3.24 |
Title,
Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
|
(a) In
the
event that title to an REO Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed
in
lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken (pursuant
to
a limited power of attorney to be provided by the Trustee to the Servicer)
in
the name of the Trustee or a nominee thereof, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, or in the event the Trustee or a nominee thereof is not
authorized or permitted to hold title to real property in the state where
the
REO Property is located, or would be adversely affected under the “doing
business” or tax laws of such state by so holding title, the deed or certificate
of sale shall be taken in the name of such Person or Persons as shall be
consistent with an Opinion of Counsel obtained by the Servicer from an attorney
duly licensed to practice law in the state where the REO Property is located.
Any Person or Persons holding such title other than the Trustee shall
acknowledge in writing that such title is being held as nominee for the benefit
of the Trustee. The Trustee’s name shall be placed on the title to such REO
Property solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity.
The
Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references this
Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity hereunder. The Servicer, on behalf of the
Trust Fund, shall either sell any REO Property before the close of the third
taxable year following the year the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such
REO
Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the
Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the
above three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the
above
three-year grace period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered to the
Trustee
and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the
Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property
subsequent to the close of the third taxable year after its acquisition will
not
result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on “prohibited transactions”
thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC
to
fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate
each
REO Property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt
disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to
fail
to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code or result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any “income from
non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The
Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection
with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds
and
general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to REO Properties
an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The
Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the
REO
Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer
shall
be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited
in
the REO Account.
(c) The
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things
in
connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which
the
Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any
of
its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems
to
be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection therewith,
the
Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account
(which
account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments
and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days
after
the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account,
in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into
the
clearing account, all revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property
and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of such REO Property including, without
limitation:
(1) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(2) all
real
estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result
in
the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(3) all
costs
and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
To
the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (1) through
(3)
above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from
its own
funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if, the
Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property
and if
in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from
the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, none of the Servicer or the Trustee shall:
(a) authorize
the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect
to any
REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income
that
does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts
that
will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(c) authorize
any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building
or
other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the
construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default
on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(d) authorize
any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90
days
after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless,
in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect
that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the at any
time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Servicer may take
such
actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
The
Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and
management of any REO Property; provided that:
(i) the
terms
and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent
herewith;
(ii) any
such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with
the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed
above
and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following
the
receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none
of
the provisions of this Section 3.24(c) relating to any such contract or to
actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to
relieve
the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf
of
the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any
such
REO Property; and
(iv) the
Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if
it
alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the
operation and management of such REO Property.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent
Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations
hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by
it to
any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s
compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such
fees.
(d) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.24(c), the Servicer
may
from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property:
(i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of
the
related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO
Property or the related Mortgage Loan. Any income from the related REO Property
received during any calendar months prior to a Final Recovery Determination,
net

shall be withdrawn by the Servicer from each REO Account maintained by it
and
remitted to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date relating to a Final
Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan, for distribution
on
the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01.
(e) Subject
to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.24(a), each REO Disposition
shall
be carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions
as the Servicer shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and
usual
in its general servicing activities for similar properties.
(f) The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be
remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any
payment
or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall
be
remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account in accordance
with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following
the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only
(unless
changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow
a sale
for other consideration).
(g) The
Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage
interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and
abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income
with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J
and
6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance
sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H,
6050J and 6050P of the Code.
| SECTION 3.25 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
|
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution Account
on the Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds (or from a Sub-Servicer’s own
funds received by the Servicer in respect of Compensating Interest) an amount
equal to the lesser of (a) the amount, if any, by which the Prepayment Interest
Shortfall for the related Prepayment Period, and (b) the amount of the Servicing
Fee payable to the Servicer for such Distribution Date.
| SECTION 3.26 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Monthly Payments.
|
In
the
event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to
any
Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage
Rates,
Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Servicer
in
a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this
Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof,
immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account
from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and
hold
harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any successor servicer
in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the termination
or discharge of this Agreement. If amounts paid by the Servicer with respect
to
any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.26 are subsequently recovered
from
the related Mortgagor, the Servicer shall be permitted to reimburse itself
for
such amounts paid by it pursuant to this Section 3.26 from such
recoveries.
| SECTION 3.27 |
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
|
No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself
a
separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for
registered Holders of Soundview Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-WF1, Asset-Backed
Certificates, Series 2006-WF1.” All amounts deposited in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Floating
Rate Certificates and the Fixed Rate Certificates in the manner set forth
in
Section 4.01(d).
On
each
Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable
to the Floating Rate Certificates or the Fixed Rate Certificates, the Trustee
has been directed by the Class C Certificateholders to, and therefore will,
deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described
in
Section 4.01(c)(v), rather than distributing such amounts to the Class C
Certificateholders. In addition, any payments received by the Trustee under
the
Basis Risk Cap Agreements on each Distribution Date will be deposited into
the
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account. On each such Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the
Floating Rate Certificates and the Fixed Rate Certificates, and will distribute
such amounts to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates and the Fixed
Rate
Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section
4.01(d).
On
each
Distribution Date, any amounts remaining in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account (representing
payments received by the Trustee under the Basis Risk Cap Agreements)
after
the
payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts on the Floating Rate Certificates
and Fixed Rate Certificates for such Distribution Date, shall be payable
to the
Trustee as additional compensation. For so long as any Floating Rate
Certificates are beneficially owned by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates,
the Depositor shall refund or cause such Affiliate to refund any amounts
paid to
it under the Basis Risk Cap Agreements to the Trustee who shall, pursuant
to the
terms of the Basis Risk Cap Agreements, return such amount to the counterparty
thereunder.
It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
be
disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates
unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class C
Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class
C
Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account for federal income tax purposes, in which case
it is
the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and
state
and local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
be
treated as a partnership. All amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account (other than amounts received under the Basis Risk Cap
Agreements) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 3 to the Holder
of
the Class C Interest and by REMIC 4 to the Holder of the Class C Certificates.
The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be an “outside reserve fund”
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h). Upon the
termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Floating Rate
Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account will be released by the Trust and distributed to the Holders
of
the Class C Certificates or their designee. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account will be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments
to
the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the
meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
By
accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder hereby agrees
to
direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is directed, to deposit into the
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described above on each
Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount
rather
than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. By accepting
a
Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder further agrees that such
direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.
Amounts
on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall remain
uninvested.
For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of
the
Floating Rate Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amounts may have
more than a de
minimis
value.
The value of such amount, if any, may be obtained from the Trustee upon request,
provided that the Trustee has received such information from the
Underwriters.
| SECTION 3.28 |
Advance
Facility
|
(a) Either
(i) the Servicer or (ii) the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, with the
consent of and at the direction of the Servicer, is hereby authorized to
enter
into a facility with any Person which provides that such Person (an “Advancing
Financing Person”) may fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances to the Trust Fund
under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise
affect
the Servicer’s obligation to fund such Advances and/or Servicing Advances. If
the Servicer enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section
3.28,
upon reasonable request of the Advancing Financing Person, the Trustee shall
execute a letter of acknowledgment, confirming its receipt of notice of the
existence of such Advance Facility. If the Trustee enters into such an Advance
Facility pursuant to this Section 3.28, the Servicer shall also be a party
to
such Advance Facility. To the extent that an Advancing Financing Person funds
any Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with notice
acknowledged by the Servicer that such Advancing Financing Person is entitled
to
reimbursement, such Advancing Financing Person shall be entitled to receive
reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided
in Section 3.28(b). Such notice from the Advancing Financing Person must
specify
the amount of the reimbursement, the Section of this Agreement that permits
the
applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s)
of
the Advance Facility that entitle the Advancing Financing Person to request
reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the Servicer, and include the
Servicer’s acknowledgment thereto or proof of an Event of Default under the
Advance Facility. The Trustee shall have no duty or liability with respect
to
any calculation of any reimbursement to be paid to an Advancing Financing
Person
and shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the Advancing
Financing Person’s notice provided pursuant to this Section 3.28. An Advancing
Financing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of
Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
qualifications of a Servicer or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof
and will not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.
(b) If
an
advancing facility is entered into, then the Servicer shall not be permitted
to
reimburse itself therefor under Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii)
and
Section 3.11(a)(vi) prior to the remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead
the
Servicer shall include such amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee
made pursuant to Section 3.11(a). The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay
to the
Advancing Financing Person, reimbursements for Advances and Servicing Advances
from the Distribution Account to the same extent the Servicer would have
been
permitted to reimburse itself for such Advances and/or Servicing Advances
in
accordance with Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Section
3.11(a)(vi), as the case may be, had the Servicer itself funded such Advance
or
Servicing Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the
Advancing Financing Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties
to
any advancing facility agree in writing.
(c) All
Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a “first in-first out” (FIFO)
basis.
Any
amendment to this Section 3.28 or to any other provision of this Agreement
that
may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance Facility
as
described generally in this Section 3.28, including amendments to add provisions
relating to a successor servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee and
the
Servicer without the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement.
| SECTION 3.29 |
PMI
Policies; Claims Under the PMI
Policies.
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Servicer shall
take
any action with respect to a PMI Mortgage Loan that could result in denial
of
coverage under the PMI Policy. The Servicer shall notify the PMI Insurer
that
the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, is the Insured, as that
term
is defined in the PMI Policy, of each PMI Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall,
on
behalf of the Trustee, prepare and file on a timely basis with the PMI Insurer,
all claims which may be made under the PMI Policy with respect to the PMI
Mortgage Loans. Copies of any such claims will be provided to the Trustee
as
reasonably requested. Consistent with all rights and obligations hereunder,
the
Servicer shall take all actions required under the PMI Policy as a condition
to
the payment of any such claim. Any amount received from the PMI Insurer with
respect to any such PMI Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Servicer
into
the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.10. The Trustee shall
withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay
to the
PMI Insurer the PMI Insurer Fee in accordance with this Agreement.
| SECTION 3.30 |
Solicitations.
|
From
and
after the Closing Date, the Servicer agrees that it will not take any
action or permit or cause any action to be taken by any of its agents and
Affiliates, or by any independent
contractors or independent mortgage brokerage companies on the Servicer's
behalf,
to personally, by telephone, mail or electronic mail, solicit the Mortgagor
under any Mortgage
Loan for the purpose of refinancing such Mortgage Loan; provided, that the
Servicer
may solicit any Mortgagor for whom the Servicer has received a request for
verification
of mortgage, a request for demand for payoff, a mortgagor initiated written
or
verbal communication
indicating a desire to prepay the related Mortgage Loan, another mortgage
company
has pulled a credit report on the mortgagor or the mortgagor initiates a
title
search; provided
further, it is understood and agreed that promotions undertaken by the
Servicer
or any of its Affiliates which (i) concern optional insurance products or
other
additional products or (ii) are directed to the general public at large,
including, without limitation, mass mailings based on commercially acquired
mailing lists, newspaper, radio and television advertisements shall not
constitute solicitation under this Section, nor is the Servicer prohibited
from
responding to unsolicited requests or inquiries made by a Mortgagor or an
agent
of a Mortgagor. Furthermore, the Servicer shall be permitted to include in
its
monthly statements to borrowers
or otherwise, statements regarding the availability of the Servicer's counseling
services
with respect to refinancing mortgage loans.

be included in amounts available for distribution from the Supplemental Interest
Trust on the next succeeding Distribution Date, subject to the foregoing
proviso
in the case of amounts to be distributed under Section 4.01 (f) (iv)
above.
(g) On
each
Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment Charges in respect
of the
Mortgage Loans received during the related Prepayment Period and the Servicer
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts paid by the Servicer during the related
Prepayment Period will be withdrawn from the Distribution Account and
distributed by the Trustee to the Holders of the Class P Certificates and
shall
not be available for distribution to the Holders of any other Class of
Certificates. The payment of the foregoing amounts to the Holders of the
Class P
Certificates shall not reduce the Certificate Principal Balances thereof.
(h) The
Trustee shall make distributions in respect of a Distribution Date to each
Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided
in Section 10.01 respecting the final distribution), in the case of
Certificateholders of the Regular Certificates, by check or money order mailed
to such Certificateholder at the address appearing in the Certificate Register,
or by wire transfer. Distributions among Certificateholders shall be made
in
proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates held
by
such Certificateholders.
(i) Each
distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the
Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to the accounts
of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures.
Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution
to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing
funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits and disbursements
with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository
and
the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of the
Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer shall have
any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable
law.
On
each
Distribution Date, following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal
to the
amount of Subsequent Recoveries deposited into the Collection Account pursuant
to Section 3.10 shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to the extent of
such
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant
to
Section 4.08. An amount equal to the amount of any remaining Subsequent
Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance
of the
Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority, up to the amount of
such
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant
to
Section 4.08. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any
distribution in respect of interest on the amount of such increases for any
Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase
occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal
Balance
of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage
Interest.
(i) It
is the
intention of all of the parties hereto that the Class C Certificates receive
all
principal and interest received by the Trust on the Mortgage Loans that is
not
otherwise distributable to any other Class of Regular Certificates or REMIC
Regular Interests and that the Residual Certificates are to receive no principal
and interest. If the Trustee determines that the Residual Certificates are
entitled to any distributions, the Trustee, prior to any such distribution
to
any Residual Certificate, shall notify the Depositor of such impending
distribution but shall make such distribution in accordance with the terms
of
this Agreement until this Agreement is amended as specified in the following
sentence. Upon such notification, the Depositor will request an amendment
to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement to revise such mistake in the distribution
provisions. The Residual Certificate Holders, by acceptance of their
Certificates, and the Servicer(s), hereby agree to any such amendment and
no
further consent shall be necessary, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in
Section 11.01 of this Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however,
that
such amendment shall otherwise comply with Section 11.01 hereof.

The
Trustee will make such statement (and, at its option, any additional files
containing the same information in an alternative format) available each
month
to Certificateholders, the NIMS Insurer, the Credit Risk Manager and the
Rating
Agencies via the Trustee’s internet website. The Trustee’s internet website
shall initially be located at “xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xx.xxx/xxxx”. Assistance in using
the website can be obtained by calling the Trustee’s customer service desk at
(000) 000-0000. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution option
are
entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling
the
customer service desk and indicating such. The Trustee shall have the right
to
change the way such statements are distributed in order to make such
distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties
and the
Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above parties
regarding any such changes. As a condition to access to the Trustee’s internet
website, the Trustee may require registration and the acceptance of a
disclaimer. The Trustee will not be liable for the dissemination of information
in accordance with this Agreement. The Trustee shall also be entitled to
rely on
but shall not be responsible for the content or accuracy of any information
provided by third parties for purposes of preparing the Distribution Date
statement and may affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its
reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other
party thereto).
In
the
case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses (i) and (ii) above,
the
amounts shall be expressed in a separate section of the report as a dollar
amount for each Class for each $1,000 original dollar amount as of the Cut-off
Date.
For
all
purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, delinquencies
shall be determined by the Trustee from information provided by the Servicer
and
reported by the Trustee based on the OTS methodology for determining
delinquencies on mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans. By way of
example, a Mortgage Loan would be Delinquent with respect to a Monthly Payment
due on a Due Date if such Monthly Payment is not made by the close of business
on the Mortgage Loan's next succeeding Due Date, and a Mortgage Loan would
be
more than 30-days Delinquent with respect to such Monthly Payment if such
Monthly Payment were not made by the close of business on the Mortgage Loan’s
second succeeding Due Date. The Servicer hereby represents and warrants to
the
Depositor that it is not subject to any delinquency recognition policy
established by its safety and soundness regulators.
(c) Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall, upon written request, furnish to each Person who at any time during
the
calendar year was a Certificateholder of a Regular Certificate, if requested
in
writing by such Person, such information as is reasonably necessary to provide
to such Person a statement containing the information set forth in subclauses
(i) and (ii) above, aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion
thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation
of the
Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially
comparable information shall be prepared and furnished by the Trustee to
Certificateholders pursuant to any requirements of the Code as are in force
from
time to time.
(d) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make available to the Residual
Certificateholders a copy of the reports forwarded to the Regular
Certificateholders in respect of such Distribution Date with such other
information as the Trustee deems necessary or appropriate.
(e) Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall
deliver to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Residual
Certificateholder, if requested in writing by such Person, such information
as
is reasonably necessary to provide to such Person a statement containing
the
information provided pursuant to the previous paragraph aggregated for such
calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was
a
Residual Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed
to
have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information
shall be prepared and furnished to Certificateholders by the Trustee pursuant
to
any requirements of the Code as from time to time in force.
| SECTION 4.04 |
Remittance
Reports; Advances.
|
(a) On
the
3rd Business Day following each Determination Date, the Servicer shall furnish
to the Trustee a monthly remittance advice (which together with any supplemental
reports is known as the “Remittance Report”). Such Remittance Report shall be in
a format mutually agreed to between the Servicer and the Trustee. The Trustee
shall not be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information
provided to it by the Servicer.
(b) The
amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any Distribution Date shall
equal, subject to Section 4.04(d), the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of
Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due during the related
Due
Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans (other than with respect to any REO
Property as described in clause (ii) below or a Balloon Mortgage Loan as
described below), which Monthly Payments were delinquent on a contractual
basis
as of the Close of Business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with
respect to each REO Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior
to
the related Due Period and as to which REO Property an REO Disposition did
not
occur during the related Due Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any,
of
the REO Imputed Interest on such REO Property for the most recently ended
calendar month, over the net income from such REO Property transferred to
the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.24 for distribution on such
Distribution Date. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment
on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with a delinquent Balloon Payment is equal
to the
assumed monthly payment that would have been due on the related Due Date
based
on the original principal amortization schedule for such Balloon Mortgage
Loan.
In addition, the Servicer shall not be required to advance any Relief Act
Interest Shortfalls or to cover Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in excess
of its
obligations under Section 3.25.
On
or
before the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately
available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an
amount
equal to the aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to be made in respect
of the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either
(i)
from its own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of
funds
held therein for future distribution (in which case it will cause to be made
an
appropriate entry in the records of Collection Account that amounts held
for
future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.04, used by
the
Servicer in discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be
made
by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Servicing
Advances, if any, to be made by the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date may be made either (i)
from
its own funds, (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held
therein for future distribution (in which case, it shall cause to be made
an
appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that amounts held
for
future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.04, used by
the
Servicer in discharge of any such Servicing Advance) or (iii) in the form
of any
combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Servicing Advances
to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution used by the Servicer
to
make an Advance or Servicing Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence
shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the
Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer
Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related
Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances and Servicing Advances
to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total
amount
that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future
distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Trustee will provide
notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the Close of Business on any Servicer
Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Servicer to
the
Trustee on such date is less than the Advances required to be made by the
Servicer for the related Distribution Date, as set forth in the related
Remittance Report.
(c) The
obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below, and, with
respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the Mortgage Loan is paid
in
full or until all Liquidation Proceeds thereon have been recovered, or a
Final
Recovery Determination has been made thereon.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be
required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such Advance or Servicing
Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination
by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed
Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance, shall be evidenced by a certification of a Servicing Officer delivered
to the Trustee (whereupon, upon receipt of such certification, the Trustee
shall
forward a copy of such certification to the Depositor, the Trustee and the
Credit Risk Manager). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the
application of Liquidation Proceeds on any Mortgage Loan that was the subject
of
a Final Recovery Determination, any Servicing Advance with respect to such
Mortgage Loan shall remain unreimbursed to the Servicer, then without limiting
the provisions of Section 3.11(a), a certification of a Servicing Officer
regarding such Nonrecoverable Advance shall not be required to be delivered
by
the Servicer to the Trustee.
(e) In
the
event the Servicer fails to make any Advance required to be made by it pursuant
to this Section 4.04 and such failure is not remedied within the applicable
cure
period pursuant to Section 7.01(a), then, pursuant to Section 7.01(a), the
Servicer will be terminated, and, in accordance with Sections 7.01(a) and
7.02,
the Trustee (in its respective capacity as successor servicer) or another
successor servicer shall be required to make such Advance on the Distribution
Date with respect to which the Servicer was required to make such Advance,
subject to the Trustee’s (or other successor servicer’s) determination of
recoverability. The Trustee (or other successor servicer) shall not be required
to make any Advance to cover any Relief Act Interest Shortfall on any Mortgage
Loan. If the Trustee (or other successor servicer) is required to make any
Advances, such advances may be made by it in the manner set forth under (b)
above.
| SECTION 4.05 |
Commission
Reporting.
|
(a) The
Trustee, the Servicer and the Credit Risk Manager shall reasonably cooperate
with the Depositor in connection with the Trust’s satisfying the reporting
requirements under the Exchange Act.
(b) (i)
Within 12 calendar days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall,
in
accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via the Electronic

Date
and (y) the reports prepared by the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to Section
6.09. Any disclosure in addition to the monthly statement required to be
included on the Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall be
determined and prepared by the entity that is indicated in Exhibit T as the
responsible party for providing that information, if other than the Trustee,
and
the Trustee will have no duty or liability to verify the accuracy or sufficiency
of any such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure and the Trustee shall have no
liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such Form
10-D
resulting from or relating to the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain any
information in a timely manner from the party responsible for delivery of
such
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure.
Within
3
calendar days after the related Distribution Date, each entity that is indicated
in Exhibit T as the responsible party for providing Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure shall be required to provide to the Trustee and the Depositor,
to the
extent known, clearly identifying which item of Form 10-D the information

shall compile the information provided to it, prepare the Form 10-D and forward
the Form 10-D to the Depositor for verification. The Depositor will approve,
as
to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the Form 10-D.
No
later than three Business Days prior to the 10th
calendar
day after the related Distribution Date, an officer of the Depositor shall
sign
the Form 10-D and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D
(with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the
Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any
failure to properly file any Form 10-D resulting from or relating to the
Depositor’s failure to timely comply with the provisions of this
section.
(ii) Within
four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure
on
Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), the Depositor shall prepare
and file any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, in addition to the
initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates. Any
disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise
required to be included on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) shall be
determined and prepared by the entity that is indicated in Exhibit T as the
responsible party for providing that information.
For
so
long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements,
no
later than the end of business on the second Business Day after the occurrence
of a Reportable Event, the entity that is indicated in Exhibit T as the
responsible party for providing Form 8-K Disclosure Information shall be
required to provide to the Depositor, to the extent known, the form and
substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable. The Depositor
shall compile the information provided to it, and prepare and file the Form
8-K,
which shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor.
(iii) Prior

January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee is able to do so under
applicable law, the Trustee shall, in accordance with industry standards,
file a
Form 15 Suspension Notice with respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable.

shall have been filed, on or before March 15 of each year thereafter, the
Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an Annual Compliance Statement, together
with a copy of the Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report to be
delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.20 and 3.21 (including with
respect to any Sub-Servicer or any subcontractor, if required to be filed).
Prior to (x) March 31, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension

and
other documentation provided by the Servicer pursuant to Sections 3.20 and
3.21
(including with respect to any Sub-Servicer or subcontractor, if required
to be
filed) and Section 3.21 with respect to the Trustee and the Credit Risk Manager,
and the Form 10-K certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-1
(the
“Certification”) signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of
securitization. The Trustee shall receive the items described in the preceding

deadline for the Form 10-K.
Any
disclosure or information in addition to that described in the preceding
paragraph that is required to be included on Form 10-K (“Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure”) shall be determined and prepared by the entity that is indicated in
Exhibit T as the responsible party for providing that information, if other
than
the Trustee, and the Trustee will have no duty or liability to verify the
accuracy or sufficiency of any such Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure.
If
information, data and exhibits to be included in the Form 10-K are not so
timely
delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such
documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the
Trustee. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure
to
properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating
to the
Trustee’s inability or failure to timely obtain any information from any other
party.
Prior
to
(x) March 15, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall
have been filed, prior to March 1 of each year thereafter, each entity that
is
indicated in Exhibit T as the responsible party for providing Additional
Form
10-K Disclosure shall be required to provide to the Trustee and the Depositor,
to the extent known, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure Information, if applicable. The Trustee shall compile the information
provided to it, prepare the Form 10-K and forward the Form 10-K to the Depositor
for verification. The Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or
disapprove, as the case may be, the Form 10-K by no later than March 25 of
the
relevant year (or the immediately preceding Business Day if March 25 is not
a
Business Day), an officer of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-K and return
an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K (with an original executed
hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trustee.
The
Servicer shall be responsible for determining the pool concentration applicable
to any Sub-Servicer to which the Servicer delegated any of its responsibilities
with respect to the Mortgage Loans at any time, for purposes of disclosure
as
required by Items 1117 and 1119 of Regulation AB. The Trustee will provide
electronic or paper copies of all Form 10-D, 8-K and 10-K filings free of
charge
to any Certificateholder upon request. Any expenses incurred by the Trustee
in
connection with the previous sentence shall be reimbursable to the Trustee
out
of the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any
failure to properly file any Form 10-K resulting from or relating to the
Depositor’s failure to timely comply with the provisions of this
section.
The
Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit N-2) for the benefit of the Depositor and its officers, directors
and Affiliates in respect of items 1 through 3 of the Certification (provided,
however, that the Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the Attestation
Report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K), and the Servicer shall sign
a
certification (the “Servicer Certification”) solely with respect to the Servicer
(in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-3) for the benefit of the

the Trustee within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and

year (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day).
The
Certification attached hereto as Exhibit N-1 shall be delivered to the
Trustee by March 20th
for
filing on or prior to March 30th
of each
year (or if not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business

their
respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees
and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based
upon (i) a breach of the Trustee’s obligations under this Section 4.05 caused by
the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith or (ii) any material misstatement or omission in the Assessment
of
Compliance delivered by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.21, and (B) the
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee and

REMIC 1 Regular interests I-1-A through I-34-B starting with the lowest
numerical denomination until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each
such
REMIC 1 Regular Interest is reduced to zero; and
(4) to
the
Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest P, (A) on each Distribution Date, 100%

(3) third,
to
the Holders of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTSC, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTNSC
and
REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTXX, pro
rata,
in an
amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such Distribution

Uncertificated REMIC 2 Regular Interest is reduced to zero; provided, however,
that REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTP shall not be reduced until the Distribution
Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge
as
identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date
thereafter, at which point such amount shall be distributed to REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTP, until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this

that REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTP shall not be reduced until the Distribution
Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge
as
identified on the Prepayment Charge Schedule or any Distribution Date
thereafter, at which point such amount shall be distributed to REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTP, until $100 has been distributed pursuant to this

WAC Allocation Percentage of remainder of available funds for such Distribution
Date after the distributions made pursuant to clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4)
above, such that distributions of principal shall be deemed to be made to
the
REMIC 2 Regular Interests first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTSC and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTNSC
equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balances of the related
Corresponding Certificates; and second, any remaining principal to REMIC
2
Regular Interest LTXX.
| SECTION 4.09 |
Allocation
of Realized Losses.
|
(a) All
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans allocated to any Regular Certificate
shall
be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as follows: first,

Monthly Excess Cashflow; second, to
Net
Swap
Payments received under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement; third, to the Class
C
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; fourth, to the Class M-10 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class M-9 Certificates,
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
sixth,
to the Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-7 Certificates, until the

Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to
be
made on such date as provided above. All references above to the Certificate
Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be to the Certificate
Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant Distribution
Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in each case to be
allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution Date.
Any
allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate on any Distribution
Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
by the
amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class C Certificates
shall be made first by reducing the amount otherwise payable in respect thereof
pursuant to Section 4.01(c)(v). No allocations of any Realized Losses shall
be
made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A Certificates or
the
Class P Certificates.
(b) With
respect to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, all Realized Losses on the Mortgage
Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date, first
to
REMIC 1 Regular Interest I in an amount equal to the amount of Realized Losses

the
Uncertificated Principal Balance has been reduced to zero, and second, to
REMIC
1 Regular Interest I-1-A through REMIC 1 Regular Interest I-34-B, starting
with
the lowest numerical denomination until such REMIC 1 Regular Interest has
been
reduced to zero, provided that, for REMIC 1 Regular Interests with the same
numerical denomination, such Realized Losses shall be allocated pro
rata
between
such REMIC 1 Regular Interests.
(c) The
REMIC
2 Marker Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans
shall be deemed to have been allocated in the specified percentages, as follows:
first, to Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to the REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTAA and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ up to an aggregate amount
equal
to the REMIC 2 Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively;
second, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 2 Regular Interest
LTAA and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to
the
REMIC 2 Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; third,
to
the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTAA, REMIC
2
Regular Interest LTM10 and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,

Balance of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM8 has been reduced to zero; sixth,
to the
Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTAA, REMIC
2
Regular Interest LTM7 and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTM7 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Uncertificated Principal
Balances of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTAA, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM6
and
REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM6 has been
reduced to zero; eighth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC
2
Regular Interest LTAA, REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM5 and REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM5 has been reduced to zero; ninth,
to the
Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTAA, REMIC
2
Regular Interest LTM4 and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTM4 has been reduced to zero; tenth, to the Uncertificated Principal

Interest LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTM2 has been reduced to zero and
twelfth,
to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTAA,
REMIC
2 Regular Interest LTM1 and REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 2 Regular
Interest LTM1 has been reduced to zero.
(d) The
REMIC
2 Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of all Realized Losses shall be applied after
all distributions have been made on each Distribution Date first, so as to
keep
the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTSC and
REMIC
2 Regular Interest LTNSC equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balances of the related Corresponding Certificates; and second, any remaining
Realized Losses shall be allocated to REMIC 2 Regular Interest
LTXX.
| SECTION 4.10 |
Swap
Account.
|
(a) On
the
Closing Date, there is hereby established a separate trust (the “Supplemental
Interest Trust”), into which the Depositor shall deposit the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be maintained by the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee. No later than the Closing Date, the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate,
segregated trust account to be held in the Supplemental Interest Trust, titled,
“Swap
Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Supplemental Interest Trust
Trustee, in trust for the registered Certificateholders of Soundview Home
Loan
Trust 2006-WF1, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-WF1.”
Such
account shall be an Eligible Account and funds on deposit therein shall be
held
separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys,
including, without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee held pursuant
to this
Agreement. Amounts therein shall be held uninvested.
(b) Prior
to
each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit into the Swap Account:
(i) the
amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment (other than any
Swap
Termination Payment resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event) owed to
the
Swap Provider (after taking into account any upfront payment received from
the
counterparty to a replacement interest rate swap agreement) from funds collected
and received with respect to the Mortgage Loans prior to the determination
of
Available Funds. For federal income tax purposes, any amounts paid to the
Swap
Provider on each Distribution Date shall first be deemed paid to the Swap
Provider in respect of REMIC 6 Regular Interest SWAP IO to the extent of
the
amount distributable on REMIC 6 Regular Interest SWAP IO on such Distribution
Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Swap Provider
in
respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount (as defined below).
(c) It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded
as
an entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates unless and
until
the date when either (a) there is more than one Class C Certificateholder
or (b)
any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class C Certificates is
recharacterized as an equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust
for
federal income tax purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties
hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax
purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be treated as a partnership, provided,
that the Trustee shall not be required to prepare and file partnership tax
returns in respect of such partnership unless it receives additional reasonable
compensation (not to exceed $10,000 per year) for the preparation of such
filings, written notification recognizing the creation of a partnership
agreement or comparable documentation evidencing the partnership, if any.
The
Supplemental Interest Trust will be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h).
(d) To
the
extent that the Supplemental Interest Trust is determined to be a separate
legal
entity from the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, any obligation of the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement
shall
be deemed to be an obligation of the Supplemental Interest Trust.
(e) The
Trustee shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P,
Class
C, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) as having entered into a notional
principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.
Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates
(other than the Class P, Class C, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) shall
be
treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder
of the
Class C Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of
(i) the
amount payable on such Distribution Date on the REMIC 2 Regular Interest
corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable
on such
Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class
IO
Distribution Amount”). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest
collections shall be allocated pro
rata
among
such Certificates based on the excess of (a) the amount of interest otherwise
payable to such Certificates over (ii) the amount of interest payable to
such
Certificates at a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC Rate, and a Class IO
Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated
to the
most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance
to
the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal
contract, the Holder of the Class C Certificates shall be treated as having
agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates
(other than the Class C, Class P, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates
from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract
shall not be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within
the
meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates
(other than the Class C, Class P, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) of
a Class
IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received
by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of their interests in REMIC
4 and
as having been paid by such Holders pursuant to the notional principal contract.
Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P and Class R Certificates)
shall
be treated as representing not only ownership of Regular Interests in REMIC
2,
but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a
notional principal contract.
(f) The
Trustee shall, at the direction of the Depositor, enforce all of its rights
and
exercise any remedies under the Swap Agreement. In the event the Swap Agreement
is terminated as a result of the designation by either party thereto of an
Early
Termination Date (as defined therein), the Trustee shall, at the direction
of
the Depositor, appoint a replacement counterparty to enter into a replacement
swap agreement. The Trustee shall have no responsibility with regard to the
selection of a replacement swap provider or the negotiation of a replacement
swap agreement. Any Swap Termination Payment received by the Trustee shall
be
deposited in the Swap Account and shall be used to make any upfront payment
required under a replacement swap agreement and any upfront payment received
from the counterparty to a replacement swap agreement shall be used to pay
any
Swap Termination Payment owed to the Swap Provider.
(g) For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of
the
Fixed Rate Certificates and Floating Rate Certificates to receive payments
from
the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of any Net WAC Cap Carry Forward
Amounts may have more than a de
minimis
value.
| SECTION 4.11 |
Tax
Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination
Payments.
|
For
federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Floating Rate Certificate is
deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a REMIC regular
interest and the right to receive payments from either the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account or the Swap Account in respect of the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount or the obligation to make payments to the Swap Account.
For
federal income tax purposes, the Trustee will account for payments to each
Floating Rate Certificates as follows: each Floating Rate Certificate will
be
treated as receiving their entire payment from REMIC 3 (regardless of any
Swap
Termination Payment or obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement)
and
subsequently paying their portion of any Swap Termination Payment in respect
of
each such Class’ obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement. In the event
that any such Class is resecuritized in a REMIC, the obligation under the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap Termination Payment (or
any
shortfall in Swap Provider Fee), will be made by one or more of the REMIC
Regular Interests issued by the resecuritization REMIC subsequent to such
REMIC
Regular Interest receiving its full payment from any such Floating Rate
Certificate.
The
REMIC
regular interest corresponding to a Floating Rate Certificate will be entitled
to receive interest and principal payments at the times and in the amounts
equal
to those made on the certificate to which it corresponds, except that (i)
the
maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will equal the Net WAC
Rate
computed for this purpose by limiting the Base Calculation Amount of the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the
Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be treated as being
payable solely from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow. As a result of the foregoing,
the amount of distributions and taxable income on the REMIC regular interest
corresponding to a Floating Rate Certificate may exceed the actual amount
of
distributions on the Floating Rate Certificate.

| SECTION 5.01 |
The
Certificates.
|
Each
of
the Fixed Rate Certificates, the Floating Rate Certificates, the Class P
Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Residual Certificates shall
be
substantially in the forms annexed hereto as exhibits, and shall, on original
issue, be executed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon
the
order of the Depositor concurrently with the sale and assignment to the Trustee
of the Trust Fund. The Fixed Rate Certificates and Floating Rate Certificates
shall be initially evidenced by one or more Certificates representing a
Percentage Interest with a minimum dollar denomination of $25,000 and integral
dollar multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof; provided, that the Fixed Rate
Certificates and Floating Rate Certificates must be purchased in minimum
total
investments of $100,000 per Class, except that one Certificate of each such
Class of Certificates may be in a different denomination so that the sum
of the
denominations of all outstanding Certificates of such Class shall equal the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class on the Closing Date. The Class
C
Certificates, the Class P Certificates and the Residual Certificates are
issuable in any Percentage Interests; provided, however, that the sum of
all
such percentages for each such Class totals 100% and no more than ten
Certificates of each Class may be issued and outstanding at any one
time.
The
Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Trustee by a Responsible Officer. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the
time
when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee
shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate.
No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid
for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated
by the Trustee substantially in the form provided for herein, and such
authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the
only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Subject to Section 5.02(c), the Fixed Rate Certificates and Floating Rate
Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates. The other Classes of Certificates
shall not be Book-Entry Certificates.
| SECTION 5.02 |
Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office
a
Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as
it may
prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
The Trustee shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose
of
registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein
provided.
Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or
agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose pursuant
to the
foregoing paragraph which office shall initially be the offices designated
by
the Trustee and, in the case of a Residual Certificate, upon satisfaction
of the
conditions set forth below, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same aggregate Percentage
Interest.
At
the
option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates in authorized denominations and the same aggregate Percentage
Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such
office
or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate and deliver
the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled
to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar)
be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by,
the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, (i)
with
respect to each Class R Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in
the
manner described above, such Class R Certificate for three separate
certificates, each representing such holder’s respective Percentage Interest in
the Class R-1 Interest, the Class R-2 Interest and the Class R-3 Interest
that
was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect
to each Class R-X Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the manner
described above, such Class R-X Certificate for three separate certificates,
each representing such holder’s respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-4
Interest, the Class R-5 Interest and the Class R-6 Interest that was evidenced
by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.
(b) Except
as
provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all
times
remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all
times:
(i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee
except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry
records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership
and
transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration
of
such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable
rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its
usual
and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants;
(v)
the Trustee and the Depositor may for all purposes deal with the Depository
as
representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes
of
exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and
directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners;
(vi)
the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information
furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and
furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating
firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms
as
direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii) the direct participants
of the
Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement under or with respect
to
any of the Certificates held on their behalf by the Depository, and the
Depository may be treated by the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers
and
directors as the absolute owner of the Certificates for all purposes
whatsoever.
All
transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made
in
accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or
brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant
shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance
with
the Depository’s normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to
execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such other
action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate
to
the Depository. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such
Letter of Representation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement
shall
control.
(c) If
(i)(x)
the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable
to
locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event
of
Termination, the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates representing
Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 51% advise
the
Trustee and Depository through the Financial Intermediaries and the Depository
Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the
Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates
(the
“Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners is no longer in the best
interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar
of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall in the
case
of (i) and (ii) above, execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate the
Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable
for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely
on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer,
any Paying Agent and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(d) No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class M-10 Certificate,
Class
C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate (the “Private
Certificates”) shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with the Securities Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer
(other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate
by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of the
Class
R-X Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of the Depositor or
the
first transfer by the initial transferee of an Affiliate of the Depositor,
(ii)
the transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate to the
issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii)
a
transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the
Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), (x) unless such transfer is
made in
reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment letter delivered
to the
Trustee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J) under the
Securities Act, the Trustee and the Depositor shall require a written Opinion
of
Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer
may
be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and
the
basis therefor, from the Securities Act or is being made pursuant to the
Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee
or the Depositor or (y) the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute
a
transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
L)
and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the
form
attached hereto as Exhibit J) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor
and
the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter
shall
not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor. The Holder of a Private
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree
to,
indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result
if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and
state laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest
in
any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect
to
the initial transfer of any such Ownership Interest by the Depositor, such
transfer shall be required to be made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, and the transferor will be deemed to have made each of the
transferor representations and warranties set forth Exhibit L hereto in respect
of such interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate and the
transferee will be deemed to have made each of the transferee representations
and warranties set forth Exhibit J hereto in respect of such interest as
if it
was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate. The Certificate Owner of any such
Ownership Interest in any such Book-Entry Certificate desiring to effect
such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the
Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so
exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel described above in
this
Section 5.02(d) will be required in connection with the transfer, on the
Closing
Date, of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor to an “accredited investor”
within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Securities Act.
No
transfer of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate
or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan, any Person acting, directly
or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such
Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department
of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 (“Plan Assets”), as
certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit M, unless the Trustee
is
provided with an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Servicer and on which they may rely which establishes to
the
satisfaction of the Trustee that the purchase of such Certificates is
permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any
prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not
subject the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA
or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither a certification nor an Opinion of
Counsel
will be required in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such
Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer
of any such Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate
to
the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture
or
(iii) a transfer of any such Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or
Residual Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture
trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor
(in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall have deemed
to have
represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan
Assets)
and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation
(which, upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation)
from
the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the
Depositor.
For
so
long as the Supplemental Interest Trust is in existence, each beneficial
owner
of a Class A Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate or any interest therein,
shall
be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of
the
Floating Rate Certificate, or interest therein, that either (i) it is not
a Plan
or (ii) (A) it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Prohibited
Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 90-59, 55 Fed. Reg. 36724 (September 6, 1990), as
amended by PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021 (July 21, 1997), PTE 2000-58, 65
Fed.
Reg. 67765 (November 13, 2000) and PTE 2002-41, 67 Fed. Reg. 54487 (August
22,
2002) (the “Exemption”) and (B) the acquisition and holding of such Certificate
and the separate right to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest
Trust
are eligible for the exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, 91-38, 90-1, 95-60 or 96-23, in the case of a
Class A Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate (other than a Class M-10
Certificate) or PTCE 95-60, in the case of a Class M-10
Certificate.
Subsequent
to the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust, each Transferee of
a
Mezzanine Certificate will be deemed to have represented by virtue of its
purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) that either
(a)
such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing such Certificate with Plan Assets,
(b) except in the case of a Class M-10 Certificate, it has acquired and is
holding such Certificate in reliance on the Exemption and that it understands
that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption including
that such Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than
“BBB-” (or its equivalent) by a Rating Agency or (c) the following conditions
are satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source
of
funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is
an
“insurance company general account” (as defined in PTCE 95-60), and (iii) the
conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied.
If
any
Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the
provisions of the three preceding paragraphs, the next preceding permitted
beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any
purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate
or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the three
preceding paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of that
acquisition or holding.
Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably
appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate
the
terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all
instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection
with
any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest
in
a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of
any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No
Person
shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate unless such
Ownership Interest is a pro
rata
undivided interest.
(iii) In
connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Trustee shall as a condition to registration of the transfer,
require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each
of the
following:
|
(A)
|
an
affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferee
to
the effect that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that
it is
not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate
that is
the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent
for
any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee;
and
|
|
(B)
|
a
covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed
transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions
applicable to the Residual
Certificates.
|
(iv) Any
attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely
null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any
purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section,
become a Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such
Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery
that
the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact
permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by this Section or for making any distributions due on such Residual 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 Trustee received the
documents specified in clause (iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover
from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted
Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made
on
such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee
shall be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of
such
Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.
(v) If
any
Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest
in a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then
the
Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the
Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership
Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such
Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which
may
include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection
with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the
Trustee
to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted
Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee determines that the
Holder
of such Residual Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this
Section
or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a
corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The
terms
and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the
sole
discretion of the Trustee and it shall not be liable to any Person having
an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise
of such
discretion.
(vi) If
any
Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest
in a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then
the
Trustee upon receipt of reasonable compensation will provide to the Internal
Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and
(6) of
the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5)
of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified
organizations.
The
foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring
on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Trustee,
in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, (i) written notification
from
each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on transfer set forth
in
this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its rating of
the
Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal
will
not cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a
REMIC.
(e) No
transfer of the Class C Certificates shall be made unless the transferee
of such
Certificates provides to the Trustee the appropriate tax certification form
(i.e., IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8ECI, as applicable
(or any successor form thereto)), as a condition to such transfer and agrees
to
update such forms (i) upon expiration of any such form, (ii) as required
under
then applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and (iii) promptly upon learning
that
any IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8ECI, as applicable
(or
any successor form thereto), has become obsolete or incorrect. Upon receipt
of
any such tax certification form from a transferee of any Class C Certificate,
the Trustee shall provide a copy of such tax certification form to the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee. The Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee
shall provide a copy of any such tax certification form to the Swap
Provider.
(f) No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates of any Class, 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 transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All
Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
canceled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard
procedures.
| SECTION 5.03 |
Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
|
If
(i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or
the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee,
the
Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may
be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of
the
Trust, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under
this Section, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may
be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith.
Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section, shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be
found
at any time.
| SECTION 5.04 |
Persons
Deemed Owners.
|
The
Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying
Agent and any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar or any Paying Agent may treat the Person, including a Depository,
in
whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate
for
the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent nor any agent of any of them shall
be
affected by notice to the contrary.
| SECTION 5.05 |
Appointment
of Paying Agent.
|
(a) The
Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01. The duties of the Paying Agent
may include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.11(a) and for the purpose of making the distributions
referred to above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide information
to
Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall
at
all times be an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws
of the
United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws
to
exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination
by
federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee.
ARTICLE
VI
THE
SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR
| SECTION 6.01 |
Liability
of the Servicer and the Depositor.
|
The
Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Servicer herein.
The
Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the
Depositor.
| SECTION 6.02 |
Merger
or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of the Servicer
or
the Depositor.
|
Any
entity into which the Servicer or the Depositor may be merged or consolidated,
or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding
to
the business of the Servicer or the Depositor, shall be the successor of
the
Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however,
that
the successor Servicer shall satisfy all the requirements of Section 7.02
with
respect to the qualifications of a successor Servicer.
| SECTION 6.03 |
Limitation
on Liability of the Servicer and
Others.
|
Neither
the Servicer or the Depositor nor any of the directors or officers or employees
or agents of the Servicer or the Depositor shall be under any liability to
the
Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from
the
taking of any action by the Servicer or the Depositor in good faith pursuant
to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Servicer, the Depositor or any such Person
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties of the
Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties of the Servicer or the Depositor,
as the
case may be, hereunder. The Servicer and any director or officer or employee
or
agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
prima
facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The Servicer and the Depositor, and any director or officer
or employee or agent of the Servicer or the Depositor, shall be indemnified
by
the Trust and held harmless against (i) any loss, liability or expense incurred
in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense
shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith
or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or (ii) any breach of a
representation or warranty by the Originator regarding the Mortgage Loans.
The
Servicer or the Depositor may undertake any such action which it may deem
necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement, and the rights and duties
of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder.
In
such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of
the
Trust and the Depositor or the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section
3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account. The
Servicer’s right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall
survive any resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section
6.04
or 7.01 with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising
prior
to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred
prior
to such resignation or termination). This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer
solely in its capacity as Servicer hereunder and in no other
capacities.
| SECTION 6.04 |
Limitation
on Resignation of the Servicer; Assignment of
Servicing.
|
The
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it
except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible
under applicable law. Any such determination pursuant to the preceding sentence
permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion
of
Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer and delivered
to
the Trustee. No resignation of the Servicer shall become effective until
the
Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Servicer’s
responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising
prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under this
Agreement.
Except
as
expressly provided herein, the Servicer shall not assign or transfer any
of its
rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate
to or
subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any
of the
duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the Servicer hereunder.
The
foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit the Servicer from
designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable
to the
Servicer hereunder; provided, however, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party
beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize
any Subservicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement.
| SECTION 6.05 |
Successor
Servicer.
|
In
connection with the appointment of any successor Servicer or the assumption
of
the duties of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor Servicer out of payments
on
the Mortgage Loans as the Depositor or the Trustee and such successor Servicer
shall agree. If the successor Servicer does not agree that such market value
is
a fair price, such successor Servicer shall obtain two quotations of market
value from third parties actively engaged in the servicing of single-family
mortgage loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the compensation payable to
a
successor Servicer may not exceed the compensation which the Servicer would
have
been entitled to retain if the Servicer had continued to act as Servicer
hereunder.
| SECTION 6.06 |
Delegation
of Duties.
|
In
the
ordinary course of business, the Servicer at any time may delegate any of
its
duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees
to
conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set
forth
in Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its
liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not
constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04. Except as provided
in Section 3.02, no such delegation is permitted that results in the delegee
subservicing any Mortgage Loans.
| SECTION 6.07 |
[Reserved].
|
| SECTION 6.08 |
Inspection.
|
The
Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer, shall afford the Depositor and the
Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to
all
records maintained by the Servicer in respect of its rights and obligations
hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer responsible for such
obligations.
| SECTION 6.09 |

shall
be presented in substantially the same format attached hereto as Exhibit
R-5.
The
Credit Risk Manager shall make such reports and any additional information
reasonably requested by the Depositor available each month to

or a

Advance in accordance with Section 4.04 and assume, pursuant to Section 7.02,
the duties of a successor Servicer and (y) in the case of (i)(B), (ii), (iii),

Servicer. On or after the receipt by the Servicer (and by the Trustee if
such
notice is given by the Holders) of such written notice, all authority and
power
of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates
or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee
pursuant to and under this Section; and, without limitation, and the Trustee
is
hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether
to
complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and related
documents or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee
(or
the applicable successor Servicer) in effecting the termination of the
responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without
limitation, the delivery to the Trustee (as successor servicer) of all documents
and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Servicer’s functions
under this Agreement within ten Business Days subsequent to such notice,
the
transfer within one Business Day subsequent to such notice to the Trustee
(or
the applicable successor Servicer) for the administration by it of all cash
amounts that shall at the time be held by the Servicer and to be deposited
by it
in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO Account or any
Servicing Account or that have been deposited by the Servicer in such accounts
or thereafter serviced by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans
or any
REO Property received by the Servicer (provided, however, that the Servicer
shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to
it
under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether
in
respect of Advances, Servicing Advances, accrued Servicing Fees or otherwise,
and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03,
notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to events occurring prior
to
such termination). All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage Files to the successor
Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer
pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer (or if
the
predecessor Servicer is the Trustee, the initial Servicer) upon presentation
of
reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses and to the extent not
paid
by the Servicer, by the Trust.
| SECTION 7.02 |
Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor
Servicer.
|
(a) Within
90
days of the time the Servicer (and the Trustee, if notice is sent by the
Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or 6.04,
the
Trustee (or such other successor Servicer as is approved in accordance with
this
Agreement) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its
capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth
or
provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties
and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof arising on and after its succession. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the
parties hereto agree that the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer,
immediately will assume all of the obligations of the Servicer to make advances.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, in its capacity as successor
Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents
that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts. As compensation therefor,
the
Trustee (or such other successor Servicer) shall be entitled to such
compensation as the Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no
such
notice of termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the
Trustee is unwilling to act as successor Servicer or (ii) if the Trustee
is
legally unable so to act, the Trustee shall appoint or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance
institution, bank or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having
a
net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the successor to the Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided, that the appointment
of any
such successor Servicer will not result in the qualification, reduction or
withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Certificates by the Rating Agencies
as
evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agencies. Pending
appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act
in
such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment
and
assumption, the successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of
payments on Mortgage Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the
Servicer would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.18 (or such
other
compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to exceed
the
Servicing Fee). The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect
any
liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement
prior to its termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance
policy pursuant to Section 3.14 or to reimburse the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.06), nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions
of
the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer of any of its
representations or warranties contained herein or in any related document
or
agreement. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon
presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor
Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be
paid
by the successor Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer
or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor
from
the assets of the Trust).
(b) Any
successor to the Servicer, including the Trustee, shall during the term of
its
service as servicer continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans
for
the benefit of Certificateholders, and maintain in force a policy or policies
of
insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations
as
Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees
and
agents to the same extent as the Servicer is so required pursuant to Section
3.14.
(c) In
connection with the resignation, removal or expiration of the term of the
Servicer hereunder, or in connection with the resignation or removal of any
successor to the Servicer (or any other successor to the Servicer appointed
hereunder) acting as successor Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor
Servicer, (or any other successor to the Servicer appointed hereunder) acting
as
successor Servicer hereunder, shall represent and warrant that it is a member
of
MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects
with
the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the
Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor
Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to revise
its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Servicer
as
necessary under MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) the predecessor Servicer
shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute and
deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage
from MERS to the Trustee and to execute and deliver such other notices,
documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect
a
transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the
MERS®
System to the successor Servicer. The predecessor Servicer shall file or
cause
to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The
predecessor Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing
any
assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments of
Mortgage that may be required under this paragraph.
| SECTION 7.03 |
[Reserved].
|
| SECTION 7.04 |
Waiver
of Defaults.
|
The
Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive
any
events permitting removal of the Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article
VII, provided, however, that the Majority Certificateholders may not waive
a
default in making a required distribution on a Certificate without the consent
of the Holder of such Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist and any Servicer Event of Termination 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 thereto except to the extent expressly so waived.
Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to the Rating
Agencies.
| SECTION 7.05 |
Notification
to Certificateholders.
|
(a) Upon
any
termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to this
Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing
in the
Certificate Register and each Rating Agency.
(b) No
later
than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or which,
with
notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Event of
Termination for five Business Days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
(in the case of a Servicer Event of Termination) becomes aware of the occurrence
of such an event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Credit Risk Manager
and all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence unless such default,
Servicer Event of Termination shall have been waived or cured.
| SECTION 7.06 |
Survivability
of Servicer Liabilities.
|
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of the Servicer hereunder,
any
liabilities of the Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall
survive such termination.

THE
TRUSTEE
| SECTION 8.01 |
Duties
of Trustee.
|
The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and after
the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically
set
forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Event of Termination has occurred
(which
has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has knowledge, the Trustee
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement,
and
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man
would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own
affairs.
The
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to it which are
specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the
requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee will
not be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents or other instruments. If any such
instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement
in a
material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate
to
have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to
the
Trustee’s satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act
or its
own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, and after the curing of
all
such Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance
of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement,
no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to
the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee unless it shall be proved that
the
Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the Majority Certificateholders relating to the time, method
and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee
or
exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the
Trustee
under this Agreement; and
(iv) the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer
to
comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and
(ii)
of Section 7.01(a) or of the existence of any Servicer Event of Termination
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office
obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written
notice
of such failure from the Depositor, the Servicer or the Majority
Certificateholders.
The
Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or
in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for
believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform,
or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations
of
the Servicer under this 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 Servicer in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
| SECTION 8.02 |
Certain
Matters Affecting the Trustee.
|
(a) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the
Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate
of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by
the proper party or parties, and the manner of obtaining consents and of
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders
shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may
prescribe;

and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion
of
Counsel;

Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend
any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction
of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders, shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may
be
incurred therein or thereby; the right of the Trustee to perform any
discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as
a duty,
and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or
willful
misconduct in the performance of any such act;
(iv) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or
omitted
by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion
or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing of
all
Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall
not be
bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents, unless
requested in writing to do so by the Majority Certificateholder; provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making
of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not reasonably assured to
the
Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability
as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such
examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee shall
be
reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand and, if not reimbursed by the Servicer,
shall be reimbursed by the Trust. Nothing in this clause (v) shall derogate
from
the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors;
(vi) the
Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability and makes no
representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the Servicer until
such
time as the Trustee may be required to act as Servicer pursuant to Section
7.02
and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor
Servicer;
(vii) the
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any
duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, custodians
or
nominees;
(viii) the
right
of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable
for
other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such
act;
(ix) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss resulting from the
investment of funds held in the Collection Account or the REO Account made
at
the direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12;
(x) the
Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive compensation that could
be
deemed to be in the Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as
investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian
or
sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii)
using
Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii)
effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation
shall
not be considered an amount that is reimbursable or payable pursuant to Section
3.11; and
(xi) The
Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute and deliver the PMI Policy
on
behalf of the Trust Fund in the form presented to it by the Depositor. Every
provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
of or affording protection to the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee’s execution
of the PMI Policy, and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of
its
obligations thereunder.
In
order
to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from
time
to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the
funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (“Applicable Law”), the
Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating
to
individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the
Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Trustee
upon
its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation
as
may be available for such party in order to enable the Trustee to comply
with
Applicable Law.
| SECTION 8.03 |
Trustee
Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
|
The
recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the authentication
of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the
Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness
of the
same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of
this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature and
authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan
or
related document or MERS or the MERS System other than with respect to the
Trustee’s execution and authentication of the Certificates. The Trustee shall
not be accountable for the use or application by the Servicer, or for the
use or
application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage
Loans
or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Servicer.
The
Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with
respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any
Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance
of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency
of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to
Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the
existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence
and
enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee
shall
assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity
of the
assignment of any Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment;
the completeness of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of
any
Mortgage Loan (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02); the compliance by the Depositor, the Originator,
the
Seller or the Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this
Agreement or in any related document or the accuracy of any such warranty
or
representation prior to the Trustee’s receipt of notice or other discovery of
any non-compliance therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies
by
or at the direction of the Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being
understood that the Trustee shall remain responsible for any Trust property
that
it may hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the
Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02), any Sub-Servicer or any Mortgagor; any action
of the
Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02), or any Sub-Servicer taken in the name of the Trustee;

required of it as agent of the Trustee hereunder; or any action by the Trustee
taken at the instruction of the Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall
assume
the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); provided, however,
that
the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform
its
duties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Trustee’s duty
to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.01. The Trustee shall
have no
responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any
public
office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of
any
security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall
have
become the successor Servicer).

Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, shall
be
indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability
or
expense (not including expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the
Trustee, including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of
its
agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee’s performance in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of
its
obligations and duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability
or
expense (i) resulting from a breach of the Servicer’s obligations and duties
under this Agreement for which the Trustee is indemnified under Section 8.05(b)
or (ii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of the Trustee in the performance of
its
duties hereunder or by reason of the Trustee’s reckless disregard of obligations
and duties hereunder or as a result of a breach of the Trustee’s obligations
under Article X hereof. Any amounts payable to the Trustee or any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Trustee, in respect of the indemnification
provided by this Section 8.05, or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement
from the Trust Fund that the Trustee or any director, officer, employee or
agent
of the Trustee, may have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn
by
the Trustee from the Distribution Account at any time. The foregoing indemnity
shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
| SECTION 8.06 |
Eligibility
Requirements for Trustee.
|
The
Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority. If such entity publishes reports
of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed
to
be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report
of
condition so published. The principal offices of the Trustee (other than
the
initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect to which an Opinion of
Counsel
has been delivered to such Trustee at the time such Trustee is appointed
Trustee
to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under the laws
of such
state. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
| SECTION 8.07 |
Resignation
or Removal of Trustee.
|
The
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created
by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer and each
Rating
Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy
of
which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy
to the
successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and
having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice
of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If
at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of
Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Depositor or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or
shall
be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or the Servicer may remove
the
Trustee. If the Depositor or the Servicer removes the Trustee under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy
of
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy
to
the successor trustee.
The
Majority Certificateholders may at any time remove the Trustee by written
instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicer, the Depositor and the
Trustee; the Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a
successor trustee in accordance with this Section.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided
in Section 8.08.
| SECTION 8.08 |
Successor
Trustee.
|
Any
successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer and to its predecessor
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
the
resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective,
and
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of
its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee.
The
Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver
such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No
successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor
Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of the Regular Certificates by
any
Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section
8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor
Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown
in
the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
| SECTION 8.09 |
Merger
or Consolidation of Trustee.
|
Any
entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it
may be
consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding
to
the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder
provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06
and
8.08, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
| SECTION 8.10 |
Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust
or any
Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee
acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act
as
co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee
or
separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person
or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
such
title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions
of
this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as
the
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of
the
Servicer. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within
15
days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case a Servicer
Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone
shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate
trustee
hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee under Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 8.08. The Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee
or separate trustee appointed hereunder.
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee
shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
and
such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such
separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without
the
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of
any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether
as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee
shall
be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
the
Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised
and
performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the
direction of the Trustee;
(ii) no
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the
Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly, may at any time accept the resignation
of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee except that following the
occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, the Trustee acting alone may
accept the resignation or remove any separate trustee or
co-trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to
have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee
or
co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article
VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the
conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.
Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given
to the
Depositor and the Servicer.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee,
its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by
the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or
successor Trustee.
| SECTION 8.11 |
Limitation
of Liability.
|
The
Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity
but
solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority
conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of the undertakings and
agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the Certificates is made and
intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is
made
and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.
| SECTION 8.12 |
Trustee
May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Certificates.
|
(a) All
rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Certificates may
be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto,
and
such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name
or in
its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of such Certificates,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursement and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for
the
ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect of which such judgment
has
been recovered.
(b) The
Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and each
Certificateholder upon reasonable prior notice during normal business hours,
access to all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties
hereunder and access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing
such
duties. Upon request, the Trustee shall furnish the Depositor, the Servicer
and
any requesting Certificateholder with its most recent financial statements.
The
Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor
and
such Certificateholder and shall make available to the Seller, the Servicer,
the
Depositor and such Certificateholder for review and copying such books,
documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee’s duties
hereunder. The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificateholders
shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure
to act
by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the performance of the
Trustee
under this Agreement or otherwise.
| SECTION 8.13 |
Suits
for Enforcement.
|
In
case a
Servicer Event of Termination or other default by the Servicer or the Depositor
hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, shall, at the direction
of
the Majority Certificateholders, or may, proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement by a
suit,
action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in
aid
of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement
of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised
by
counsel, and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect
and
enforce any of the rights of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders.
| SECTION 8.14 |
Waiver
of Bond Requirement.
|
The
Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any
requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof,
may be
located that the Trustee post a bond or other surety with any court, agency
or
body whatsoever.
| SECTION 8.15 |
Waiver
of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal
Requirement.
|
The
Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any
requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof,
may be
located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or appraisal of the
Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any manner
whatsoever.
ARTICLE
IX
REMIC
ADMINISTRATION
| SECTION 9.01 |
REMIC
Administration.
|
(a) REMIC
elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be made by the
Trustee
on Form 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.
(c) The
Trustee shall pay any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of any REMIC
(including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any administrative
or
judicial proceedings with respect to any Trust REMIC that involve the Internal
Revenue Service or state tax authorities), including the expense of obtaining
any tax related Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement of expenses incurred pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) to the
extent provided in Section 8.05.
(d) The
Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of the REMICs’ federal and state tax
and information returns (including Form 8811) as the direct representative
each
REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns
shall
be borne by the Trustee.
(e) The
Holder of the Class R Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage
Interest thereof shall be the “tax matters person” as defined in the REMIC
Provisions (the related “Tax Matters Person”) with respect to REMIC
1,
REMIC
2
and
REMIC 3 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for each such REMIC. The Holder
of
the Class R-X Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest
thereof shall be the Tax Matters Person with respect to REMIC 4,
REMIC
5
and REMIC 6, and shall act as Tax Matters Person for each such REMIC. The
Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, 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 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 Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall provide
(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 upon reasonable
additional compensation and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information
or
reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Trustee, as
agent
for the Tax Matters Person, shall represent each REMIC in any administrative
or
judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental
taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable
year of
any REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any government taxing agency,
extend any statute of limitations relating to any item of any REMIC and
otherwise act on behalf of any REMIC in relation to any tax matter involving
the
Trust.
(f) The
Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action
or
cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status
of
each 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 Servicer
or the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall take any action, cause any
REMIC
created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to
be
taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken,
as
the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or
(ii)
result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not limited
to
the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2)
and the
tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code)
(either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee and the
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 created hereunder or
the
assets therein, or causing such 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 and the 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 has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could
occur.
(g) Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed
on
each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities.
To
the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder,
the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future
amounts
otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in the
REMICs
or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the
Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders
of
regular interests in the related REMIC. Subject to the foregoing, in the
event
that a REMIC incurs a state or local tax, including franchise taxes, as a
result
of a determination that such REMIC is domiciled in the State of California
for
state tax purposes by virtue of the location of the Servicer, the Servicer
agrees to pay on behalf of such REMIC when due, any and all state and local
taxes imposed as a result of such a determination, in the event that the
Holder
of the related Residual Certificate fails to pay such taxes, if any, when
imposed.
(h) The
Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created
hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(i) No
additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC created hereunder,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to eligible
substitute mortgage loans.
(j) Neither
the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any
REMIC
created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for
services.
(k) [Reserved].
(l) The
Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal
Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all tax entities
and shall complete the Form 8811.
| SECTION 9.02 |
Prohibited
Transactions and Activities.
|
None
of
the Depositor, the Servicer or 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 any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Article X 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 either REMIC
after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at
the
expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, or substitution) that
such
disposition, acquisition, substitution, or acceptance will not (a) affect
adversely the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or of the
interests therein other than the Residual Certificates as the regular interests
therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the
Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or
assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement)
or (d) cause any REMIC created hereunder to be subject to a tax on prohibited
transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions.
| SECTION 9.03 |
Indemnification
with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC
Status.
|
(a) In
the
event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC,
or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction
or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent
performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein,
the
Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee and the Trust Fund against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such
negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for
any
such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor
or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such
Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual
Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be
deemed
to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual
Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer have any liability (1)
for
any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance
with
the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this
Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance
by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for
any
special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment
of principal and interest on the Certificates).
(b) In
the
event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC,
or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction
or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent
performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein,
the
Trustee shall indemnify the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting
from
such negligence; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable
for any
such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Servicer, the
Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor
for any
such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such
Residual Certificate on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall
not be
deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such
Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee have
any
liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with
and in
compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by
the
terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a
negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth
herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders
(in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).

TERMINATION
| SECTION 10.01 |
Termination.
|
(a) The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Depositor
and
the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make
certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date
and the
obligation of the Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth)
shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the
Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular
Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase
by the Terminator of the Mortgage Loans as described below and (iv) the
Distribution Date in October 2036. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from
the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the
late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date
hereof.
The
Servicer (in such context, the “Terminator”), may, at its option, terminate this
Agreement on any date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the
Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due
during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and
unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment
Period) on such date is equal to or less than 10% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date by purchasing,
on
the next succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans
and
REO Properties at a price equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments
of
principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced,
and unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment
Period) and the appraised value of the REO Properties and (ii) fair market
value
of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (as determined and as agreed upon
as of
the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon
which notice of any such termination is furnished to the related
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 10.01(c) by (x) the Terminator, (y)
the
Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates
and (z)
if the Fixed Rate Certificates and Floating Rate Certificates will not receive
all amounts owed to it as a result of the termination, the Trustee, provided
that if this clause (z) applies to such determination, such determination
shall
be based solely upon an appraisal obtained as provided in the last sentence
of
this paragraph), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted
average of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding
the
final Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances, any
unpaid Servicing Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
and
any accrued and unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts and any Swap Termination
Payment payable to the Swap Provider (the “Termination Price”); provided,
however, such option may only be exercised if the Termination Price is
sufficient to result in the payment of all interest accrued on, as well as
amounts necessary to retire the principal balance of, each class of notes
issued
pursuant to the Indenture. If the determination of the fair market value
of the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be required to be made and agreed
upon
by the Terminator, the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the
Class
C Certificates and the Trustee as provided in (ii) above, such determination
shall be based on an appraisal of the value of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties conducted by an independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by
the
Terminator, the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class
C
Certificates and the Trustee in their reasonable discretion, and (A) such
appraisal shall be obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B) the Trustee
may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
appraisal.
By
acceptance of a Residual Certificate, the Holders of the Residual Certificates
agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer
any
amounts in excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such
termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class C
Certificates.
Upon
a
termination pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Trustee shall assign to the
Terminator each of the representations and warranties made by the Originator
and
the Seller pursuant to the Master Agreement and the Assignment Agreement,
without recourse, representation or warranty.
In
connection with any such purchase pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Terminator
shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in
the
Collection Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately
preceding such purchase.
Any
such
purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the Distribution Account on
the
Determination Date before such Distribution Date of the Termination
Price.
(b) Notice
of
any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (which shall be a date
that
would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders
may
surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee upon
the
Trustee receiving notice of such date from the Terminator, by letter to the
Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th
day and
not later than the 25th
day of
the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying
(1) the
Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will
be made
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency
of
the Trustee therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final distribution
and (3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date
is
not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender
of
the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein
specified.
(c) Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to
be
distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the Distribution Date for
such
final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their
respective Class and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose,
an
amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to such Holders in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 for such Distribution Date.
By
acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual
Certificates agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign
and
transfer any amounts in excess of the par value of the Mortgage Loans, and
to
the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such amounts
to
the Holders of the Class C Certificates.
(d) In
the
event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates
for
final payment and cancellation on or before such final Distribution Date,
the
Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all funds in the Distribution
Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be
withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders by
depositing such funds in a separate Servicing Account for the benefit of
such
Certificateholders, and the Servicer (if the Servicer has exercised its right
to
purchase the Mortgage Loans) or the Trustee (in any other case) 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 nine months after the second notice all the Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Residual
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
which remain subject hereto, and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds
shall
be discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and the Certificateholders
shall look to the Residual Certificateholders for payment.
| SECTION 10.02 |
Additional
Termination Requirements.
|
(a) In
the
event that the Terminator exercises its purchase option as provided in Section
10.01, each REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements, unless the Trustee shall have been furnished with
an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply
with
the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the imposition of
taxes
on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code
or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) Within
90
days prior to the final Distribution Date, the Terminator shall adopt and
the
Trustee shall sign a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC created
hereunder meeting the requirements of a “Qualified Liquidation” under Section
860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder; and
(ii) At
or
after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and at
or
prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets
of the Trust Fund to the Terminator for cash pursuant to the terms of the
plan
of complete liquidation.
(b) By
their
acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to appoint the
Trustee as their attorney in fact to: (i) adopt such a plan of complete
liquidation (and the Certificateholders hereby appoint the Trustee as their
attorney in fact to sign such plan) as appropriate and (ii) to take such
other
action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to carry out
such
plan of complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms
hereof.

Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer
and
the Trustee; and without the consent of the Certificateholders (i) to cure
any
ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein which may
be
defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or (iii) to make
any
other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this
Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement;
provided that such action shall not as evidenced by either (a) an Opinion
of
Counsel delivered to the Trustee or (b) written or electronic notice to the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from each Rating Agency that such
action
will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding
Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency, adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. No
amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and
no
Opinion of Counsel or Rating Agency confirmation shall be required to address
the effect of any such amendment on any such consenting
Certificateholder.
In
addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Majority Certificateholders
for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the
rights
of the Swap Provider or the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that
no
such amendment or waiver shall (x) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay
the timing of, payments on the Certificates or distributions which are required
to be made on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (y) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
the
Swap Provider or the Holders of any Class of Certificates (as evidenced by
either (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee or (ii) written
notice
to the Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee from each Rating Agency that
such
action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any
outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency)
in a manner other than as described in clause (x) above, without the consent
of
the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least a 66% Percentage
Interest in such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting Rights required
by clause (y) above without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates
of
such Class then outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment, a copy of such
amendment shall be sent to the Rating Agencies.
Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall not consent
to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an
Opinion of Counsel, delivered by (and at the expense of) the Person seeking
such
Amendment, to the effect that such amendment will not result in the imposition
of a tax on any REMIC created hereunder constituting part of the Trust Fund
pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC created hereunder
constituting part of the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that
any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment is being made in
accordance with the terms hereof.
Notwithstanding
any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01, none of the Depositor,
the
Servicer or the Trustee shall enter into any amendment to this Agreement
that
adversely affects in any respect the rights and interests hereunder of the
Swap
Provider without the prior written consent of the Swap Provider.
Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish, at the
expense of the Person that requested the amendment if such Person is the
Servicer (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee), otherwise at the
expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment and the Opinion of Counsel
referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph to the Servicer and each
Rating Agency.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section
11.01
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment; instead it shall
be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner
of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as
the Trustee may prescribe.
The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any amendment pursuant
to
this Section 11.01 that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this
Agreement or otherwise.
| SECTION 11.02 |

or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Servicer at the expense
of
the Trust, but only upon direction of the Certificateholders accompanied
by an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and
beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For
the
purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided

by
reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any
provision hereof.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this
Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
upon

thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request
upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own
name as
Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to
be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 15 days after its receipt
of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused
to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended,
and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue 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, which priority or preference is not otherwise provided
for herein, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner
herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions

Other

| SECTION 11.11 |
Acts
of Certificateholders.

the provisions of Regulation AB.

Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day

The

as
Soundview Home Loan Trust 2006-WF1, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-WF1
(herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business
Day
immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to
the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business
on
the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed
to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs
on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address
of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register
or by
wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee
or
the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee
and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite
percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected
by
such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder
of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon
all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without
the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of
transfer at the offices or agencies of the Trustee as provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the
holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor,
the
Trustee, the Servicer or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to
the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer may purchase,
in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined
as
provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination
occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will
terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution
Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates
have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of

This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Soundview Home Loan Trust 2006-WF1, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-WF1
(herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business
Day
immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to
the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business
on
the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed
to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs
on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address
of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register
or by
wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee
or
the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee
and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite
percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected
by
such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder
of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon
all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without
the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of
transfer at the offices or agencies of the Trustee as provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the
holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor,
the
Trustee, the Servicer or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to
the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer may purchase,
in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined
as
provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination
occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will
terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the Distribution
Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Regular Certificates
have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of
the
last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase by the Servicer
of
the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv) the Distribution

The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business
Day
immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to
the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business
on
the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed
to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs
on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address
of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register
or by

distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trustee
or
the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment

and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite

such amendment, as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder
of

all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the

notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also
permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without
the
consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of
transfer at the offices or agencies of the Trustee as provided in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in
form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the
holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor,
the
Trustee, the Servicer or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to
the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer may purchase,
in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined
as
provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination

of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day

on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address
of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register
or by

or
the Trustee’s agent specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee
and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trustee
and of
Holders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of each Class
of

on

Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate.

circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the

forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of

denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder

or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

laws.
No

will
provide the Internal Revenue Service and any pertinent persons with the

the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the

This

of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day

Distributions

The

and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Servicer and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite

the
holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The

in consideration of the sum of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) and other valuable
consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged,
and
of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree
as
follows:
Assignment
and Conveyance
A. The
Assignor hereby conveys, sells, grants, transfers and assigns to the Assignee
(x) all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor, as purchaser,
in, to
and under (a) those certain Mortgage Loans listed on the schedule (the
“Mortgage

attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Mortgage

and
(b) except as described below, that certain Seller’s Warranties and Servicing

relates to the Mortgage Loans and (y) other than as provided below with
respect
to the enforcement of representations and warranties, none of the obligations
of
the Assignor under the Purchase Agreement.
The
Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee hereunder
any
and all right, title and interest in, to and under any obligations of the
Assignor with respect to any mortgage loans subject to the Purchase Agreement
which are not the Mortgage Loans set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
and are
not the subject of this Agreement.
Recognition
of the Company
1. From
and
after the date hereof, the Company shall and does hereby recognize that
the
Assignee will transfer the Mortgage Loans and assign its rights under the
Purchase Agreement (solely to the extent set forth herein) and this Agreement
to
Soundview Home Loan Trust 2006-WF1 (the “Trust”)
created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of October
1,
2006 (the “Pooling
Agreement”),
among
the Assignee, the Company and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee

The

of the
Assignor insofar as they relate to the enforcement of the representations,
warranties and covenants with respect to the Mortgage Loans, (iii) the
Trust (including the Trustee and the Company acting on the Trust’s behalf) shall
have all the rights and remedies available to the Assignor, insofar as
they
relate to the Mortgage Loans, under the Purchase Agreement, including,
without
limitation, the enforcement of the document delivery requirements and remedies
with respect to breaches of representations and warranties set forth in
the
Purchase Agreement, and shall be entitled to enforce all of the obligations
of
the Company thereunder insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, and
(iv) all references to the Purchaser (insofar as they relate to the rights,
title and interest and, with respect to obligations of the Purchaser, only
insofar as they relate to the enforcement of the representations, warranties
and
covenants of the Company) or the Custodian under the Purchase Agreement
insofar
as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, shall be deemed to refer to the Trust
(including the Trustee and the Company acting on the Trust’s behalf). Neither
the Company nor the Assignor shall amend or agree to amend, modify, waiver,
or
otherwise alter any of the terms or provisions of the Purchase Agreement
which
amendment, modification, waiver or other alteration would in any way affect
the
Mortgage Loans or the Company’s performance under the Purchase Agreement with
respect to the Mortgage Loans without the prior written consent of the
Trustee.
Representations
and Warranties of the Company
2. The

as
of the date hereof that:
(a) The
Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation;
(b)
The
Company has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and has full power and authority to perform
its
obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The execution by the Company
of this
Agreement is in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and will not

provisions of the Company’s charter or bylaws or any legal restriction, or any
material agreement or instrument to which the Company is now a party or
by which
it is bound, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment or decree to which the Company or its property is subject. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement have
been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on part of the Company.
This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and, upon
the due
authorization, execution and delivery by the Assignor and the Assignee,
will
constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms except as enforceability

limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other
similar
laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, and by
general principles of equity regardless of whether enforceability is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law;
(c)
No
consent, approval, order or authorization of, or declaration, filing or
registration with, any governmental entity is required to be obtained or
made by
the Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by
the
Company of this Agreement; and
(d)
There
is
no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against
the
Company, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, which
would
draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement,
or
which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would result in
any
material adverse change in the ability of the Company to perform its obligations

A
MORTGAGE
LOAN SCHEDULE
SCHEDULE
I
Capitalized
terms used in this Schedule I but not defined in this Agreement shall have
the
meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
(i) The
information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedules is true and
correct;
(ii) All
payments required to be made up to the Cut-off Date for the Mortgage Loan
under
the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited. No payment
under any
Mortgage Loan has been thirty (30) days delinquent more than one (1) time
within
twelve (12) months prior to the Closing Date;
(iii) There
are
no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgages, and all taxes,
governmental assessments, insurance premiums, leasehold payments, water,
sewer
and municipal charges, which previously became due and owing have been
paid, or
an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay
for every
such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet
due
and payable. The Company has not advanced funds, or induced, or solicited
directly or indirectly, the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage
Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or
date of
disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is later, to the
day which
precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal
and
interest;
(iv) The
terms
of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage, and with respect to each Cooperative
Loan,
the related Pledge Agreement, Proprietary Lease and Pledge Instruments,
have not
been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by a
written
instrument which has been recorded or
registered with the MERS System if necessary, to protect the interests
of the
Purchaser and maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage and which has
been
delivered to the Custodian. The substance of any such waiver, alteration
or
modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy
and the
title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are
reflected
on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has been released,
in whole
or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved
by the
issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title insurer, to the extent required
by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage File
delivered to the Custodian and the terms of which are reflected in the
related
Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(v) The
Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or
the
exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation
the
defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or
defense has been asserted with respect thereto;
(vi) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in
whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed
that
would effect any such satisfaction, release, cancellation, subordination
or
rescission;
(vii) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and related documents are genuine, and each
is
the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable
in
accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
had
legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver
the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
have been
duly and properly executed by such parties;
(viii) With
respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Pledge
Agreement, and related documents are genuine, and each is the legal, valid
and
binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with
its
terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Pledge Agreement,
the
Proprietary Lease, the Stock Power, Recognition Agreement and the Assignment
of
Proprietary Lease had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and
to
execute and deliver such documents, and such documents have been duly and
properly executed by such parties;
(ix) No
error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Company or
the
Mortgagor, or the appraiser, or to the best of Company’s knowledge, any builder,
or any developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the
Mortgage
Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage
Loan;
(x) Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures,
consumer
credit protection and privacy, equal credit opportunity, disclosure or
predatory
and abusive lending laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied
with. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or
issued
with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with
respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including, but not limited
to,
certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been
made or
obtained from the appropriate authorities;
(xi) The
Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule and consists of a contiguous parcel of real property with
a
detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family
dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or
a
Cooperative Apartment or an individual unit in a planned unit development
or a
townhouse, provided, however, that any condominium project or planned unit
development, or mixed use property shall conform with the applicable Xxxxxx
Mae
or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements, or the Underwriting Guidelines regarding such
dwellings, and no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or manufactured
dwelling. As of the respective appraisal date for each Mortgaged Property,
any
Mortgaged Property being used for commercial purposes conforms to the
Underwriting Guidelines and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, since the
date of such appraisal, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was being
used for
commercial purposes outside of the Underwriting Guidelines;
(xii) The
Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged
Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations
and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien
of the
Mortgage is subject only to:
|
(1)
|
the
lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due
and
payable;
|
|
(2)
|
covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of
the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in
the
lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of
the
Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or otherwise considered in
the appraisal
made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) which do
not
adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property
set forth
in such appraisal; and
|
|
(3)
|
other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do
not
materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended
to be
provided by the mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability
of
the related Mortgaged Property.
|
|
Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related
to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and
creates a
valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority
security
interest on the property described therein and the Company has
full right
to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser;
|
With
respect to each Cooperative Loan, each Pledge Agreement creates a valid,
enforceable and subsisting first security interest in the Cooperative Shares
and
Proprietary Lease, subject only to (i) the lien of the related Cooperative
for
unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the
Cooperative’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real
property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments
to
which like collateral is commonly subject and (ii) other matters to which
like
collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Pledge Agreement;
provided, however, that the appurtenant Proprietary Lease may be subordinated
or
otherwise subject to the lien of any mortgage on the Project;
(xiii) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, except for escrows
established or created due to seasonal weather conditions, as allowed under
the
Underwriting Guidelines, and there is no requirement for future advances
thereunder. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing
the
Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor
is
not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage
Note or
Mortgage;
(xiv) Any
future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date, have been consolidated
with the
outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal
amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment
term
reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The lien of the Mortgage
securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having
first
lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy
insuring
the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; the consolidated principal amount does not exceed
the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan; the Company shall not make
future advances after the Cut-off Date;
(xv) The
Company is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loan and
the
related Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not assigned or pledged, and
the
Company has good and marketable title thereto and has full right and authority
to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Company is
transferring the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all encumbrances,
liens, pledges, equities, participation interests, claims, charges or security
interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan;
(xvi) The
Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association, a savings
bank,
a commercial bank, a credit union, an insurance company, or similar institution
that is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority or by a
mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant
to
Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act. All parties which have
had any
interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee
or
otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of
such
interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing
requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is
located,
and (2) organized under the laws of such state, or (3) qualified to do
business
in such state, or (4) federal savings and loan associations or national
banks
having principal offices in such state, or (5) not doing business in such
state;
(xvii) Each
Mortgage Loan shall have an LTV as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
Except as set forth on the related Data File, if the LTV of the Mortgage
Loans
was greater than 80% at the time of origination, a portion of the unpaid
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is and will be insured as to payment
defaults by a PMI Policy. If the Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy
which
is not an LPMI Policy, the coverage will remain in place until (i) the
LTV
decreases to 78% or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant
to the
Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC §4901, et seq. All provisions of such
PMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full
force
and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. The Qualified
Insurer has a claims paying ability acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac. Any
Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor
or
the Company to maintain the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy, as applicable, and
to pay
all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest
Rate for
the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is
net of
any such insurance premium;
(xviii) The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) lender's
title insurance policy (or in the case of any Mortgage Loan secured by
a
Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such policies are generally
not available, an opinion of counsel of the type customarily rendered in
such
jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance) or other generally acceptable
form of
policy of insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by
a title
insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business
in
the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the
Company,
its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage
in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions
contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of Paragraph (k) of this Section
3.02, and
against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the
lien
resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment
to the
Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s title
insurance policy includes no exceptions regarding ingress, egress or
encroachments that impact the value or the marketability of the Mortgaged
Property. The Company is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance
policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and effect
and
will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's
title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the Mortgage, including
the
Company, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage
of such lender's title insurance policy;
(xix) There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither the Company
nor
its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration;
(xx) There
are
no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work,
labor
or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give
rise to
such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage
which
are not insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph
(q) above;
(xxi) Except
as
insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph (q)
above,
all improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value
of the
Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building restriction
lines of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on adjoining properties
encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being
part of
the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or
regulation;
(xxii) Except
with respect to the Interest Only Mortgage Loans, principal payments commenced
no more than sixty (60) days after the funds were disbursed to the Mortgagor
in
connection with the Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is payable in equal
monthly installments of principal and interest, with interest calculated
and
payable in arrears, sufficient (except with respect to Balloon Loans) to
amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date set for in
the
Mortgage Note over an original term to maturity of not more than thirty
(30)
years. With respect to each Balloon Loan, the Mortgage Loan is payable
in equal
monthly installments of principal and interest based on a fifteen (15),
thirty
(30) or forty (40) year amortization schedule, as set forth in the related
Mortgage Note, and a final lump sum payment substantially greater than
the
preceding Monthly Payment is required which is sufficient to amortize the
remaining principal balance of the Balloon Loan. No Balloon Loan has an
original
stated maturity of less than seven (7) years. As to each Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Loan on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest
Rate
will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index plus the applicable Gross
Margin,
rounded up or down to the nearest multiple of 0.125% indicated by the Mortgage
Note; provided that the Mortgage Interest Rate will not increase or decrease
by
more than the Periodic Interest Rate Cap on any Adjustment Date, and will
in no
event exceed the Maximum Mortgage Interest Rate or be lower than the minimum
Mortgage Interest Rate listed on the Mortgage Note for such Mortgage Loan.
As
to
each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan that is not an Interest Only Mortgage
Loan,
each
Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient, during the
period
prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize
the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over
the
then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related
Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Interest Only Mortgage Loan,
the
interest-only period shall not exceed fifteen (15) years (or such other
period
specified on the Data File) and following the expiration of such interest-only
period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize
the
original principal balance over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan
and to
pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. As to each Adjustable
Rate
Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment
Date or, with respect to an Interest Only Mortgage Loan, on an Adjustment
Date
following the related interest-only period, the then outstanding principal
balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of such Mortgage Loan.
No
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would
result in
negative amortization;
(xxiii) The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as
a deed
of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
There
is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's
sale or
the right to foreclose the Mortgage;
(xxiv) As
of the
date of origination the Mortgaged Property was lawfully occupied and as
of the
Closing Date, to the best of Company’s knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is
lawfully occupied under applicable law;
(xxv) The
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral, pledged
account
or other security except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the
security
interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred
to in
Paragraph (k) above;
(xxvi) In
the
event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under
applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently
so
serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will
become
payable by the mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(xxvii) The
Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect
to the
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's
credit
standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional
investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause
the
Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or
marketability of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxviii)
If the
Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage,
upon the
insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information, is in
recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;
(xxix) The
Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement,
windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the
value
of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use
for which
the premises were intended;
(xxx) The
origination, servicing and collection practices used with respect to the
Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
and
have been in all material respects legal, proper and in accordance with
the
terms of the Mortgage Note. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow
Payments,
all such payments are in the possession of the Company and there exist
no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected
in
full compliance with state and federal law. No escrow deposits or Escrow
Payments or other charges or payments due the Company have been capitalized
under the Mortgage Note;
(xxxi) There
is
no proceeding pending or to the best of the Company’s knowledge threatened for
the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged
Property;
(xxxii)
The
Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan include an appraisal of
the
related Mortgaged Property, on form 1004 or form 2055, with an interior
inspection. As to each Time$aver® Mortgage Loan, the appraisal may be from the
original of the existing Company-serviced loan, which was refinanced via
such
Time$aver® Mortgage Loan. The appraisal was conducted by an appraiser who had no
interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan
made on
the security thereof; and whose compensation is not affected by the approval
or
disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and the appraiser both
satisfy the applicable requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institution
Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was
originated;
(xxxiii)
The
Mortgaged Property (and, with respect to any Cooperative Loan, the related
Project) securing each Mortgage Loan is insured by an insurer acceptable
to
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac against loss by fire and such hazards as are
covered
under a standard extended coverage endorsement and such other hazards as
are
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located pursuant
to
insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section 4.10, in an
amount
which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) 100% of the insurable value,
on a
replacement cost basis, of the improvements on the related Mortgaged Property
and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be
sufficient to prevent the application to the Mortgagor or the loss payee
of any
coinsurance clause under the policy. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium
unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for
the
project. If the improvements on the Mortgaged Property are in an area identified
in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements
of the
current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect
with a
generally acceptable insurance carrier and such policy conforms to the
Underwriting Guidelines, in an amount representing coverage not less than
the
least of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan,
(B) the full insurable value and (C) the maximum amount of insurance
which was available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended.
All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming
the
Company and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon
have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain
a
hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to
obtain
and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to
seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. The hazard insurance policy
is the
valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect,
and
will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser
upon
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
Company
has not acted or failed to act so as to impair the coverage of any such
insurance policy or the validity, binding effect and enforceability
thereof;
(xxxiv)
The
Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge
of any
relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil
Relief Act, as amended;
(xxxv)
The
Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan, and the Mortgage
Loan
does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.
No
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan;
(xxxvi)
No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (i) the construction or rehabilitation
of a Mortgage Property or (ii) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of
a
Mortgaged Property other than a construction-to-permanent loan which has
converted to a permanent Mortgage Loan;
(xxxvii) Each
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines
and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxxx Mac
or
Xxxxxx Xxx;
(xxxviii) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan that is a Buydown Mortgage Loan:
|
(1)
|
On
or before the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan, the
Company and
the Mortgagor, or the Company, the Mortgagor and the seller of
the
Mortgaged Property or a third party entered into a Buydown Agreement.
The
Buydown Agreement provides that the seller of the Mortgaged Property
(or
third party) shall deliver to the Company temporary Buydown Funds
in an
amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted amount of payments
that, when
added to the amount the Mortgagor on such Mortgage Loan is obligated
to
pay on each Due Date in accordance with the terms of the Buydown
Agreement, is equal to the full scheduled Monthly Payment due
on such
Mortgage Loan. The temporary Buydown Funds enable the Mortgagor
to qualify
for the Buydown Mortgage Loan. The effective interest rate of
a Buydown
Mortgage Loan if less than the interest rate set forth in the
related
Mortgage Note will increase within the Buydown Period as provided
in the
related Buydown Agreement so that the effective interest rate
will be
equal to the interest rate as set forth in the related Mortgage
Note. The
Buydown Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae
or Xxxxxxx
Mac guidelines or the Underwriting
Guidelines;
|
|
(2)
|
The
Mortgage and Mortgage Note reflect the permanent payment terms
rather than
the payment terms of the Buydown Agreement. The Buydown Agreement
provides
for the payment by the Mortgagor of the full amount of the Monthly
Payment
on any Due Date that the Buydown Funds are available. The Buydown
Funds
were not used to reduce the original principal balance of the
Mortgage
Loan or to increase the Appraised Value of the Mortgage Property
when
calculating the Loan-to-Value Ratios for purposes of the Agreement
and, if
the Buydown Funds were provided by the Company and if required
under
Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac guidelines or the Underwriting Guidelines,
the
terms of the Buydown Agreement were disclosed to the appraiser
of the
Mortgaged Property;
|
|
(3)
|
The
Buydown Funds may not be refunded to the Mortgagor unless the
Mortgagor
makes a principal payment for the outstanding balance of the
Mortgage
Loan;
|
|
(4)
|
As
of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the provisions
of the
related Buydown Agreement complied with the requirements of Xxxxxx
Mae and
Xxxxxxx Mac or the Underwriting Guidelines regarding buydown
agreements;
|
(xxxix)
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company has furnished complete and accurate
information (i.e., favorable and unfavorable) on the related borrower credit

in
accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations;
(xl) The
Company has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and
regulations, (the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”), and has established an

Laundering Laws. No Mortgage Loan is subject to nullification pursuant
to
Executive Order 13224 (the “Executive Order”) or the regulations promulgated by
the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of
the
Treasury (the “OFAC Regulations”) or in violation of the Executive Order or the
OFAC Regulations, and as of the origination date of the related Mortgage
Loan,
no Mortgagor was subject to the provisions of such Executive Order or the
OFAC
Regulations nor listed as a “blocked person” for purposes of the OFAC
Regulations;
(xli) No
Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan;
(xlii) There

the
Company’s knowledge, nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all
requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite
to
use and enjoyment of said property;
(xliii) No
Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit insurance policy (e.g.
life, disability, accident, unemployment or health insurance

cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of credit.
No
Mortgagor obtained a prepaid credit insurance policy (e.g. life, disability,
accident, unemployment or health insurance product) or debt cancellation
agreement in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds
from any Mortgage Loan were used to purchase credit insurance policies
or debt
cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition
to
closing, such Mortgage Loan;
(xliv) The
Mortgage or Mortgage Note contains an enforceable provision, to the extent
not
prohibited by applicable law, for the acceleration of the payment of the
unpaid
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged
Property
is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee
thereunder, provided that, with respect to Mortgage Notes which bear an
adjustable rate of interest, such provision shall not be enforceable if
the
Mortgagor causes to be submitted to the Company information required by
the
Company to evaluate the intended transferee as if a new mortgage loan were
being
made to such transferee, and the Company reasonably determines (1) that
the
mortgagee’s security will not be impaired by such Mortgage Loan assumption and

establishes in Purchaser a valid and subsisting perfected first
lien on
and security interest in the Mortgaged Property described therein,
and
Purchaser has full right to sell and assign the same. The Proprietary
Lease term expires no less than five years after the Mortgage
Loan term or

(4)
|
The
Company has the right under the terms of the Mortgage Note, Pledge
Agreement and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance charges
or
assessments owed by the Mortgagor;

The
undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The
undersigned is an officer of, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate (the “Certificate”)
issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of October 1, 2006
(the
“Agreement”),
among
Financial Asset Securities Corp., as depositor (the “Depositor”),
Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, N.A. as servicer (the “Servicer”)
and
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto,
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee
has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the
Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.
2. The
Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the
Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no knowledge
that any such affidavit is false.
3. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be
imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted
Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman)
for
a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the
Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the
tax
if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such
subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer,
such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands
that
such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record
holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record
holder
is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual
knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through
entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives
and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding
interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions
on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide
by
the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the restrictions
noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees
that
any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the
Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom
the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting
as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person
that
the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any
such
Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee
a
certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit L to the
Agreement (a “Transferor
Certificate”)
to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which
the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The
Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends
to pay
its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes
payable
with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto
in
some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due. The
Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection
of
any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.
8. The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ___________.
9. The
Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code
Section 7701(a)(30).
10. The
Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual
interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
11. The
Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable
to a
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an
applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S.
person.
12. Check
one
of the following:
[_] The
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding
the
Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
|
(i)
|
the
present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire
such
Certificate;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
the
present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate;
and
|
|
|
(iii)
|
the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding
such
Certificate as the related REMIC generates
losses.
|
For
purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at
the
highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax
rate
in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate
specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject
to the
alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two
years
and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the
alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using
a
discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section
1274(d)
of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used
by the
Transferee.
[_] The
transfer of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
|
(i)
|
the
Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from
the
Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;
|
|
|
(ii)
|
at
the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal
years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had gross
assets
for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a
person
related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets
in
excess of $10 million;
|
|
|
(iii)
|
the
Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible
corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section
1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements
of
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5)
of
the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and
|
|
|
(iv)
|
the
Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the
Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including,
but not
limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss
assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and
other
factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in good
faith.
|
[_] None
of the above.
13. The
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of
ERISA
or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to
any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title I
of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf
of
or investing plan assets of such a plan.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed
on its
behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized
officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this
day

Additional
Termination Events.
The
following Additional Termination Events will apply:

Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to BSFP and BSFP shall
be the
sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event.
(b)
If,
upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event (as defined in paragraph
16(ii))
below) BSFP has not, within 10 calendar days after such Swap Disclosure
Event
complied with any of the provisions set forth in paragraph 16(iii) below,
then
an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to BSFP
and
BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional
Termination Event.
(c)
If,
without the prior written consent of BSFP where such consent is required
under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld), an amendment or supplemental agreement is made to the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement which amendment or supplemental agreement could reasonably
be expected to have a material adverse effect on the interests of BSFP
under
this Agreement, an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with
respect
to Counterparty and Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party with
respect
to such Additional Termination Event and all Transactions hereunder shall
be
Affected Transactions.
(d)
If
the Trust is unable to pay, or fails or admits in writing its inability

on any Distribution Date, any Monthly Interest Distribution Amount with
respect
to the Class A Certificates or of the ultimate payment of principal with
respect
to the Class A Certificates, in either case to the extent required pursuant
to
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to be paid to the Class
A
Certificates on such Distribution Date, then an Additional Termination
Event
shall have occurred with respect to Counterparty and Counterparty shall
be the
sole Affected Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event;
(e)
An
Additional Termination Event shall occur upon the notice to Certificateholders
of an Optional Termination becoming unrescindable in accordance with Article
X
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (such notice, the “Optional Termination
Notice”).
With
respect to such Additional Termination Event:
(i)
Counterparty shall be the sole Affected Party and this Transaction shall
be the
sole Affected Transaction;
(ii)
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(b)(iv) of the ISDA
Form
Master Agreement or Section 6(c)(i) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement,
the final
Distribution Date specified in the Optional Termination Notice is hereby
designated as the Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected
Transactions;
(iii)
Section 2(a)(iii)(2) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement shall not be applicable
to any Affected Transaction; notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section
6(c)(ii) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement, payments and deliveries under
Section 2(a)(i) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement or Section 2(e) of the
ISDA
Form Master Agreement in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be
required
to be made through and including the Early Termination Date; provided,
for the
avoidance of doubt, that any such payments or deliveries that are made
on or
prior to the Early Termination Date will not be treated as Unpaid Amounts
in
determining the amount payable in respect of an Early Termination Date;
(iv)
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(d)(i) of the ISDA
Form
Master Agreement, (A) if, no later than 4:00 pm New York City time on the
day
that is four Business Days prior to the final Distribution Date specified
in the
Optional Termination Notice, the Trustee requests the amount of the Estimated
Swap Termination Payment, BSFP shall provide to the Trustee in writing
(which
may be done in electronic format) the amount of the Estimated Swap Termination
Payment no later than 2:00 pm New York City time on the following Business
Day
and (B) if the Trustee
provides written notice (which may be done in electronic format) to BSFP
no
later than two Business Days prior to the final Distribution Date specified
in
the Optional Termination Notice that all requirements of the Optional
Termination have been met, then BSFP shall, no later than one Business
Day prior
to the final Distribution Date specified in the Optional Termination Notice,
make the calculations contemplated by Section 6(e) of the ISDA Form Master
Agreement (as amended herein) and provide to the Trustee in writing (which
may
be done in electronic format) the amount payable by either Counterparty
or BSFP
in respect of the related Early Termination Date; provided, however, that
the
amount payable by Counterparty, if any, in respect of the related Early
Termination Date shall be the lesser of (x) the amount calculated to be
due by
the Counterparty pursuant to Section 6(e) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement
and
(y) the Estimated Swap Termination Payment; and
(v)
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(d)(ii) of the ISDA
Form
Master Agreement, any amount due from the Counterparty to BSFP in respect
of the
Early Termination Date will be payable on the Early Termination Date and
any
amount due from BSFP to the Counterparty in respect of the Early Termination
Date will be payable one Business Day prior to the Early Termination
Date.
“Estimated
Swap Termination Payment” shall mean, with respect to an Early Termination Date,
an amount determined by BSFP in its sole discretion as the maximum payment
that
could be owed by Counterparty with respect to such Early Termination Date
pursuant to Section 6(e) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement taking into
account
then current market conditions.
The
Trustee shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement as
if a
party hereto to the extent of the Trustee’s rights specified in paragraph 13(e)
hereof.
14)
Amendment
to the ISDA Form Master Agreement.

Event
under the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to which BSFP shall be
the

Transaction.
(b)
If
BSFP fails to satisfy the Replacement Ratings (a “Replacement

obtain
a guaranty of an entity that satisfies the Required Rating to
guaranty
BSFP’s obligations under this Transaction;
or
|

take
any other action that satisfies the Rating Agency Condition;
|
provided that
the
failure by BSFP to take any action specified in (i)-(iii) above on or prior
to
the 10th
Local
Business Days after such Replacement Event shall constitute an Additional
Termination Event under the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to
which
BSFP shall be the sole Affected Party and this Transaction shall be the
sole
Affected Transaction.

based on
a reasonable determination by Depositor or Administrator, in good faith,
that
such information is required under Regulation AB) (the “Swap Financial
Disclosure”).

and which entity is able to comply with the requirements of Item 1115 of
Regulation AB or (3) obtain a guaranty of the BSFP’s obligations under this
Agreement from an affiliate of the BSFP that is able to comply with the
financial information disclosure requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation
AB,
such that disclosure provided in respect of the affiliate will satisfy
any
disclosure requirements applicable to the Swap Provider, and cause such
affiliate to provide Swap Financial Disclosure. If permitted by Regulation
AB,
any required Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by incorporation
by
reference from reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.
(iv) BSFP
agrees that, in the event that BSFP provides Swap Financial Disclosure
to
Depositor in accordance with clause (iii)1 of paragraph 16 or causes its
affiliate to provide Swap Financial Disclosure to Depositor in accordance
with
clause (iii)1(c) of paragraph 16, it will indemnify and hold harmless Depositor,
its respective directors or officers and any person controlling Depositor,

S
SERVICING
CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED
IN
ASSESSMENT OF COMPLIANCE
Definitions
Primary
Servicer - transaction party having borrower contact
Master
Servicer - aggregator of pool assets
Securities
Administrator - waterfall calculator (may be the Trustee, or may be the Master
Servicer)
Back-up
Servicer - named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer becomes
the
Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations)
Custodian
- safe keeper of pool assets
Paying
Agent - distributor of funds to ultimate investor
Trustee
-
fiduciary of the transaction
Note:
The
definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs,
rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular transaction, the
trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “securities administrator” functions,
while in another transaction, the securities administrator may perform these
functions.
Where
there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify
in
their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of
the
distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction
agreements.

Agreement from an affiliate of the BSFP that is able to comply with the
financial information disclosure requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation
AB,
such that disclosure provided in respect of the affiliate will satisfy

affiliate
to provide Cap Financial Disclosure. If permitted by Regulation AB, any
required
Cap Financial Disclosure may be provided by incorporation by reference
from
reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.
(iv) BSFP
agrees that, in the event that BSFP provides Cap Financial Disclosure to
Depositor in accordance with clause (iii)(1) of paragraph 16 or causes
its
affiliate to provide Cap Financial Disclosure to Depositor in accordance
with
