The terms and provisions of the Standard Terms are hereby incorporated by reference herein as
though set forth in full herein. If any term or provision contained herein shall conflict with or
be inconsistent with any provision contained in the Standard Terms, the terms and provisions of

ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
Section 1.01 Definitions.
Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases, unless the context otherwise
requires, shall have the meanings specified in this Article.
Accretion Termination Date: The Class I-A-12 Accretion Termination Date or the Class
I-A-13 Accretion Termination Date.
Accrual Certificates: The Class I-A-12 Certificates and Class I-A-13 Certificates.
Accrued Certificate Interest: With respect to each Distribution Date, as to any Class
or Subclass of Certificates (other than any Principal Only Certificates), interest accrued during
the related Interest Accrual Period at the related Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Principal
Balance or Notional Amount thereof immediately prior to such Distribution Date. Accrued Certificate
Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months. In
each case Accrued Certificate Interest on any Class or Subclass of Certificates will be reduced by
the amount of:
|
(i) |
|
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on all Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group
(to the extent not offset by the Master Servicer with a payment of Compensating
Interest as provided in Section 4.01), |
|
|
(ii) |
|
the interest portion (adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate (or the Modified Net
Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan)) of Realized Losses on all
Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group not allocated solely to one or more specific
Classes of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05, and |
|
|
(iii) |
|
any other interest shortfalls not covered by the subordination provided by the
related Class M Certificates and related Class B Certificates, including interest that
is not collectible from the Mortgagor pursuant to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act,
as amended, or similar legislation or regulations as in effect from time to time, all
allocated as described below. |
The Class I-A Percentage of these reductions with respect to the Group I Loans will be allocated
among the Holders of the Group I Senior Certificates, other than the Class I-A-P Certificates, in
proportion to the amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been payable to those
Certificates from the Group I Loans on that Distribution Date absent such reductions. The Class
II-A Percentage of these reductions with respect to the Group II Loans will be allocated among the
Holders of the Group II Senior Certificates, in proportion to the amounts of Accrued Certificate
Interest that would have been payable to those Certificates from the Group II Loans on that
Distribution Date absent such reductions. The Class III-A Percentage of these reductions with
respect to the Group III Loans will be allocated among the Holders of the Group III Senior
Certificates, in proportion to the amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been
payable to those Certificates from the Group III Loans on that Distribution Date absent such
4
reductions. The remainder of these reductions will be allocated among the Holders of the related
Class M Certificates and the related Class B Certificates in proportion to the respective amounts
of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been payable on that Distribution Date absent these
reductions. In the case of each class of Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, Accrued
Certificate Interest on that class will be further reduced by the interest portion (adjusted to the
Net Mortgage Rate) of Realized Losses that are allocated solely to such Class of Class M
Certificates or such Class of Class B in Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05.

percentage as recalculated, the “Recalculated Percentage”); (c) the total amount of
the reductions in the Prepayment Distribution Percentages of the Maturing Class or
Classes pursuant to clause (a) of this sentence, expressed as an aggregate
percentage, shall be allocated among the Non-Maturing Classes in proportion to their

29
Section 1.03. Determination of LIBOR.
LIBOR applicable to the calculation of the Pass-Through Rates on the Adjustable Rate
Certificates for any Interest Accrual Period (other than the initial Interest Accrual Period) will
be determined as described below:
On each Distribution Date, LIBOR shall be established by the Trustee and, as to any Interest
Accrual Period, will equal the rate for one month United States dollar deposits that appears on the
Dow Xxxxx Telerate Screen Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the second LIBOR Business Day
prior to the first day of such Interest Accrual Period (“LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date”). “Telerate
Screen Page 3750” means the display designated as page 3750 on the Telerate Service (or such other
page as may replace page 3750 on that service for the purpose of displaying London interbank
offered rates of major banks). If such rate does not appear on such page (or such other page as may
replace that page on that service, or if such service is no longer offered, LIBOR shall be so
established by use of any other service for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be selected
by the Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer), the rate will be the Reference Bank
Rate. The “Reference Bank Rate” will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in
U.S. Dollars are offered by the reference banks (which shall be any three major banks that are
engaged in transactions in the London interbank market, selected by the Trustee after consultation
with the Master Servicer) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the day that is one LIBOR Business Day
prior to the immediately preceding Distribution Date to prime banks in the London interbank market
for a period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the Adjustable Rate Certificates then outstanding. The Trustee will request the
principal London office of each of the reference banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at
least two such quotations are provided, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations
rounded up to the next multiple of 1/16%. If on such date fewer than two quotations are provided as
requested, the rate will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by one or more major banks in
New York City, selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer, as of 11:00
a.m.,
New York City time, on such date for loans in U.S. Dollars to leading European banks for a
period of one month in amounts approximately equal to the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance
of the Adjustable Rate Certificates then outstanding. If no such quotations can be obtained, the
rate will be LIBOR for the prior Distribution Date, or, in the case of the first LIBOR Rate
Adjustment Date, [___]% per annum; provided, however, if, under the priorities described above,
LIBOR for a Distribution Date would be based on LIBOR for the previous Distribution Date for the
third consecutive Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, after consultation with the Master
Servicer, select an alternative comparable index (over which the Trustee has no control), used for
determining one-month Eurodollar lending rates that is calculated and published (or otherwise made
available) by an independent party. “LIBOR Business Day” means any day other than (i) a Saturday or
a Sunday or (ii) a day on which banking institutions in the city of London, England are required or
authorized by law to be closed.
The establishment of LIBOR by the Trustee on any LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date and the Master
Servicer’s subsequent calculation of the Pass-Through Rates applicable to each of the
30
Adjustable Rate Certificates for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the absence of
manifest error, will be final and binding.
Promptly following each LIBOR Rate Adjustment Date the Trustee shall supply the Master
Servicer with the results of its determination of LIBOR on such date. Furthermore, the Trustee
will supply to any Certificateholder so requesting by telephone by calling ([___]) [___]-[___] the
Pass-Through Rates on each of the Adjustable Rate Certificates for the current and the immediately
preceding Interest Accrual Period.

reliance on the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(a)(3) or Treasury

(5) and (6);

Loss is reduced, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the

Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be solely responsible for crediting the
amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its
normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such
distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be
responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the
Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Company or the Master Servicer shall have any
responsibility therefor.
(j) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 of the Standard Terms, if the Master Servicer
anticipates that a final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will be made on a
future Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall, no later than 40 days prior to such final
Distribution Date, notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall, not earlier than the 15th day and not
later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution, distribute, or cause to be distributed, to each Holder of such Class of
Certificates a notice to the effect that: (i) the Trustee anticipates that the final distribution
with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Trustee or as otherwise
specified therein, and
51
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of
the related Interest Accrual Period. In the event that Certificateholders required to surrender
their Certificates pursuant to Section 9.01(c) do not surrender their Certificates for final
cancellation, the Trustee shall cause funds distributable with respect to such Certificates to be
withdrawn from the Certificate Account and credited to a separate escrow account for the benefit of
such Certificateholders as provided in Section 9.01(d).
(k) On each Distribution Date preceding the Class I-A-12 Accretion Termination Date, the
Accrued Certificate Interest that would otherwise be distributed to the Class I-A-12 Certificates
will be added to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class I-A-12 Certificates and will be
distributed to the holders of the Class I-A-10, Class I-A-12, Class I-A-14 and Class I-A-17
Certificates as distributions of principal pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(iii) in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Class I-A-10, Class I-A-12, Class I-A-14 and Class I-A-17
Certificates. Any distributions of the Class I-A-12 Accrual Distribution Amount to the Class
I-A-10, Class I-A-12, Class I-A-14 and Class I-A-17 Certificates will reduce the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class I-A-10, Class I-A-12, Class I-A-14 and Class I-A-17 Certificates by
such amount. The amount that is added to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class I-A-12
Certificates will accrue interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum. On each Distribution Date on or
after the Accretion Termination Date, the entire Accrued Certificate Interest on the Class I-A-12
Certificates for such date will be payable to the holders of the Class I-A-12 Certificates, as
interest, to the extent not required to be paid to the Class I-A-10, Class I-A-12, Class I-A-14 and
Class I-A-17 Certificates in order to fully reduce the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of
the Class I-A-10, Class I-A-12, Class I-A-14 and Class I-A-17 Certificates to zero on the Class
I-A-12 Accretion Termination Date; provided, however, that if the Accretion Termination Date is the
Credit Support Depletion Date, the entire Class I-A-12 Accrual Distribution Amount for such date
will be payable as interest to the holders of the Class I-A-12 Certificates.
(l) On each Distribution Date preceding the Class I-A-13 Accretion Termination Date, the
Accrued Certificate Interest that would otherwise be distributed to the Class I-A-13 Certificates
will be added to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class I-A-13 Certificates and will be
distributed to the holders of the Class I-A-10, Class I-A-12, Class I-A-14 and Class I-A-17
Certificates as distributions of principal pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(iii) in reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Class I-A-10, Class I-A-12, Class I-A-14 and Class I-A-17
Certificates. Any distributions of the Class I-A-13 Accrual Distribution Amount to the Class
I-A-10, Class I-A-12, Class I-A-14 and Class I-A-17 Certificates will reduce the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class I-A-10, Class I-A-12, Class I-A-14 and Class I-A-17 Certificates by
such amount. The amount that is added to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class I-A-13
Certificates will accrue interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum. On each Distribution Date on or
after the Accretion Termination Date, the entire Accrued Certificate Interest on the Class I-A-13
Certificates for such date will be payable to the holders of the Class I-A-13 Certificates, as
interest, to the extent not required to be paid to the Class I-A-10, Class I-A-12, Class I-A-14 and
Class I-A-17 Certificates in order to fully reduce the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class I-A-10, Class I-A-12, Class I-A-14 and Class I-A-17
Certificates to zero on the Class I-A-13 Accretion Termination Date; provided, however, that if the
Accretion Termination Date is the Credit Support Depletion Date, the entire Class I-A-13
52
Accrual Distribution Amount for such date will be payable as interest to the holders of the Class I-A-13
Certificates.
(m) On any Distribution Date prior to the occurrence of the Credit Support Depletion Date for
Loan Group II and Loan Group III that occurs after the reduction of the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the Group II Senior Certificates or Group III Senior Certificates to zero, the
outstanding Certificates relating to the other of Group II Senior Certificates or Group III Senior
Certificates, as applicable, will be entitled to receive 100% of the mortgagor prepayments on the
Mortgage Loans in the Loan Group related to the Certificate Group that has been reduced to zero.
Such amounts allocated to a Certificate Group shall be treated as part of the related Available
Distribution Amount and distributed as part of the related Senior Principal Distribution Amount in
accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4.02(c) or 4.02(b) above, as applicable, in
reduction of such Certificate Principal Balances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the remaining
Certificates in a Certificate Group will not be entitled to receive mortgagor prepayments on the
Mortgage Loans in the Loan Group related to the Certificate Group that has been reduced to zero if
the following two conditions are satisfied: (1) the weighted average of the Subordinate
Percentages for both Loan Group II and Loan Group III for such Distribution Date, weighted on the
basis of the Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group, is at least
two times the weighted average of the initial Subordinate Percentages for both such Loan Groups,
calculated on that basis and (2) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in both
such Loan Groups delinquent 60 days or more averaged over the last six months, as a percentage of
the aggregate outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of the Class II-M Certificates and Class
II-B Certificates, is less than 50%.
(n) For any Undercollateralized Certificate Group relating to Loan Group II or Loan Group III
on any Distribution Date prior to the related Credit Support Depletion Date (i) 100% of the
mortgagor prepayments allocable to the Class II-M Certificates and Class II-B Certificates on the
Mortgage Loans in the non-related Loan Group II or Loan Group II, as applicable, will be
distributed to such Undercollateralized Certificate Group in accordance with the priorities set
forth in Section 4.02(c) or 4.02(b) above, as applicable, for the related Senior Principal
Distribution Amount, in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance of such Undercollateralized
Certificate Group, until such Certificate Principal Balance equals the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group and (ii) an amount equal to one month’s
interest at a rate of 5.50% per annum on the related Undercollateralized Amount will be distributed
from that portion of the Available Distribution Amount for the non-related Loan Group that would be
otherwise allocable to the Class II-M Certificates and Class II-B Certificates, in the following
priority: first to pay any unpaid interest on such Undercollateralized Certificate Group, pro rata,
and then to pay principal thereon in the manner described in clause (i) above.

Master Servicer. (See Section 4.04 of the Standard Terms)
Section 4.05 Allocation of Realized Losses.
Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, that resulted from any Cash Liquidation, Servicing Modification, Debt
Service Reduction, Deficient Valuation or REO Disposition that occurred during the related
Prepayment Period or, in the case of a Servicing Modification that constitutes a reduction of the
interest rate on a Mortgage Loan, the amount of the reduction in the interest portion of the
Monthly Payment due during the related Due Period. The amount of each Realized Loss shall be
evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate. All Realized Losses on Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group,
shall be allocated to the Certificates in the related Certificate Group as follows: first, to the
Class I-B-3 Certificates or the Class II-B-3 Certificates, as applicable, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; second, to the Class I-B-2 Certificates or the
Class II-B-2 Certificates, as applicable, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; third, to the Class I-B-1 Certificates or the Class II-B-1 Certificates, as
applicable, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to
the Class I-M-3 Certificates or the Class II-M-3 Certificates, as applicable, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class I-M-2 Certificates or the
Class II-M-2 Certificates, as applicable, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class I-M-1 Certificates or the Class II-M-1 Certificates, as
applicable, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and,
thereafter, if any such Realized Loss is on a Discount Mortgage Loan, to the related Class A-P
Certificates in an amount equal to the related Discount Fraction of the principal portion of the
Realized Loss until the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class A-P Certificates has been
reduced to zero, and the remainder of such Realized Losses on the Discount Mortgage Loans in the
related Loan Group and the entire amount of such Realized Losses on Non-Discount Mortgage Loans in
the related Loan Group will be allocated among (i) the Group I Senior (other than the Class I-A-P
Certificates) and, in the case of the interest portion of such Realized Loss, the Class I-A-V
Certificates (in the case of a Group I Loan) on a pro rata basis, (ii) Group II Senior Certificates
and, in the case of the interest portion of such Realized Loss, Class II-A-V on a pro rata basis or
(iii) to the Group III Senior Certificates and, in the case of the interest portion of such
Realized Loss, the Class II-A-V Certificates (in the case of a Group III Loan) on a pro rata basis,
as described below; provided, however, that such Realized Losses otherwise allocable to the Super
Senior Certificates will be allocated to the Senior Support Certificates until the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Senior Support Certificates has been reduced to zero.
As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a “pro rata basis” among two or more
specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a pro rata basis, among the various
Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding
Certificate Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date in the case of the principal portion of a Realized Loss or based on the Accrued
Certificate Interest thereon payable from the related Loan Group in respect of such Distribution
54
Date (without regard to any Compensating Interest allocated to the Available Distribution
Amount of such Loan Group for such Distribution Date) in the case of an interest portion of a
Realized Loss. Except as provided in the following sentence, any allocation of the principal
portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions) to a Class of Certificates shall be
made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated, which
allocation shall be deemed to have occurred on such Distribution Date; provided that no such
reduction shall reduce the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates in the
Certificate Group related to Loan Group I or Loan Group II and Loan Group III in the aggregate, as
applicable, below the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group or Loan Groups. Any allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt
Service Reductions) to the related Subordinate Certificates then outstanding with the Lowest
Priority shall be made by operation of the definition of “Certificate Principal Balance” and by
operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(a). Allocations of the interest portions of Realized
Losses (other than any interest rate reduction resulting from a Servicing Modification) shall be
made in proportion to the amount of Accrued Certificate Interest and by operation of the definition
of “Accrued Certificate Interest” and by operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(a).
Allocations of the interest portion of a Realized Loss resulting from an interest rate reduction in
connection with a Servicing Modification shall be made by operation of the provisions of Section
4.02(a). Allocations of the principal portion of Debt Service Reductions shall be made by
operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(a). All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated
to a Class of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in
proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby; provided that if any Subclasses of the
Class A-V Certificates have been issued pursuant to Section 5.01(c), such Realized Losses and other
losses allocated to the Class A-V Certificates shall be allocated among such Subclasses in
proportion to the respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest payable on such Distribution
Date that would have resulted absent such reductions.

Holders of the Class I-A-2, Class I-A-10, Class I-A-14 and Class I-A-17 Certificates. The Reserve
Fund must be an Eligible Account. The Reserve Fund shall be entitled “Reserve Fund, [__________] as

payable by each Yield Maintenance Agreement Provider under the related Yield Maintenance Agreement.
The Trustee shall deposit in the Reserve Fund all payments received by it from each Yield
Maintenance Agreement Provider pursuant to the related Yield Maintenance Agreement. On each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall remit amounts received by it from each Yield Maintenance

Class I-A-2, Class I-A-10, Class I-A-14 and Class I-A-17, as applicable, in the manner
provided in Section 4.02(h) as it is directed by the Master Servicer.
(b) The Reserve Fund is an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
§1.860G-2(h) and shall be an asset of the Trust Fund but not an asset of any 201[_]-[___] REMIC.
The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be the nominal owner of the Reserve Fund. Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc. shall be the beneficial owner of the Reserve Fund, subject to the power of the
Trustee to distribute amounts under Section 4.02(h). Amounts in the Reserve Fund shall be held
uninvested in a trust account of the Trustee with no liability for interest or other compensation
thereon.

TERMINATION OR OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF ALL CERTIFICATES
Section 9.01 Optional Purchase by the Master Servicer of All Certificates; Termination
Upon Purchase by the Master Servicer or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby in respect of the Certificates (other than the
obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments after the Final Distribution Date to
Certificateholders and the obligation of the Depositor to send certain notices as hereinafter set
forth) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Trustee on the Final
Distribution Date pursuant to this Article IX following the earlier of:
(i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Find or the disposition of all
property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Group I Loans and all property acquired
in respect of any Group I Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the purchase by the Master
Servicer of all Group II Loans and Group III Loans and all property acquired in respect of
any Group II Loan and Group III Loan remaining in the Trust Fund, in each case, at a price
equal to 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each such Mortgage Loan (or, if less than
such unpaid principal balance, the fair market value of the related underlying property of
such Mortgage Loan with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which title has been acquired if
such fair market value is less than such unpaid principal balance) (net of any unreimbursed
Advances attributable to principal) on the day of repurchase, plus accrued interest thereon
at the Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of any Modified Mortgage
Loan), to, but not including, the first day of the month in which such repurchase price is
distributed; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx,
living on the date hereof; and provided further, that the purchase price set forth above
shall be increased as is necessary, as determined by the Master Servicer, to avoid
disqualification of any portion of any REMIC formed under this Series Supplement as a REMIC.
The purchase price paid by the Master Servicer shall also include any amounts owed by
[___________] pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement in
respect of any liability, penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of the compliance
with laws representation pursuant to Section 4(k) of the Assignment Agreement, that remain
unpaid on the date of such purchase.
The right of the Master Servicer to purchase all the assets of the Trust Fund relating to the
Group I Loans, pursuant to clause (ii) above is conditioned upon the Aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Group I Loans as of the Final Distribution Date, prior to giving effect to
distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, being less than ten percent of the Cut-off
61
Date Principal Balance of Group I Loans. The right of the Master Servicer to purchase all the
assets of the Trust Fund relating to the Group II Loans and the Group III Loans, pursuant to clause
(ii) above is conditioned upon the Aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Group II Loans and
Group III Loans as of the Final Distribution Date, prior to giving effect to distributions to be
made on such Distribution Date, being less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance
of the Group II Loans and Group III Loans. If such right is exercised by the Master Servicer, the
Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been reimbursed for the full amount of any unreimbursed
Advances theretofore made by it with respect to the Mortgage Loans being purchased. In addition,
the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section 3.15 and the
Trustee and any Custodian shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price, release to the
Master Servicer the Custodial Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans being purchased.
In addition to the foregoing, on any Distribution Date on which the Aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Group I Loans, prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date, is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Group I
Loans, the Master Servicer shall have the right, at its option, to purchase the Certificates
related to Loan Group I, in whole, but not in part, at a price equal to the sum of the outstanding
Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates plus the sum of one month’s Accrued Certificate
Interest thereon, or, with respect to the Class I-A-V Certificates, on their Notional Amount, any
previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest. On any Distribution Date on which the Aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Group II Loans and Group III Loans, prior to giving effect to
distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance of the Group II Loans and Group III Loans, the Master Servicer shall have the
right, at its option, to purchase the Certificates related to Loan Group II and Loan Group III, in
whole, but not in part, at a price equal to the sum of the outstanding Certificate Principal
Balance of such Certificates plus the sum of one month’s Accrued Certificate Interest thereon, or,
with respect to the Class II-A-V Certificates, on their Notional Amount, any previously unpaid
Accrued Certificate Interest. If the Master Servicer exercises this right to purchase the
outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer will promptly terminate the respective obligations
and responsibilities created hereby in respect of these Certificates pursuant to this Article IX.
(b) The Master Servicer shall give the Trustee not less than 40 days’ prior notice of the
Distribution Date on which the Master Servicer anticipates that the final distribution will be made
to Certificateholders (whether as a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to
purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or otherwise). Notice of any termination, specifying the
anticipated Final 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 Master Servicer (if it
is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund), or by the Trustee (in any other
case) by letter to 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:
62
(i) the anticipated Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the
Certificates is anticipated to be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at
the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment, if know, and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, and that payment will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.
If the Master Servicer is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it
shall give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer
shall deposit in the Certificate Account before the Final Distribution Date in immediately
available funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the assets of the Trust Fund computed as
above provided. The Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee written notification of any
change to the anticipated Final Distribution Date as soon as practicable. If the Trust Fund is not
terminated on the anticipated Final Distribution Date, for any reason, the Trustee shall promptly
mail notice thereof to each affected Certificateholder.
(c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders, the Trustee
shall distribute to the Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise distributable on such
Distribution Date, if not in connection with the Master Servicer’s election to repurchase, or (ii)
if the Master Servicer elected to so repurchase, an amount equal to the outstanding Certificate
Principal Balance of the Certificates, plus Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for the related
Interest Accrual Period and any previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest.
(d) In the event that any Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final
payment and cancellation on or before the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall on such date
cause all funds in the Certificate 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 escrow account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and
the Master Servicer (if it exercised its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund), 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 six months after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as directed by the Master
Servicer to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.
The costs and expenses of maintaining the escrow account and of contacting Certificateholders shall
be paid out of the assets which remain in the escrow account. If within nine months after the
second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall
pay to the Master Servicer all amounts distributable to the holders thereof and the Master Servicer
shall thereafter hold such amounts until distributed to such holders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in the escrow account or by the Master
Servicer as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final
payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01 and the Certificateholders shall look only to
the Master Servicer for such payment.
63
(e) Upon termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01, the Trustee on behalf of
the Trust Fund shall, under documents prepared by the Master Servicer or Holders of the Class
I-A-2, Class I-A-10, Class I-A-14 and Class I-A-17 Certificates, assign without recourse,
representation or warranty all the right, title and interest of the Trustee and the Trust Fund in
and to each Yield Maintenance Agreement to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.

|
(ii) |
|

|
(iv) |
|
any other interest shortfalls not covered by the subordination provided by the
Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates, including interest that is not

2

intangibles, payment intangibles, accounts, chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit
accounts, certificates of deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit and investment
property and other property of whatever kind or description now existing or hereafter acquired
consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the following: (A) the Mortgage Loans, including
(i) with respect to each Cooperative Loan, the related Mortgage Note, Security Agreement,
Assignment of Proprietary Lease, Cooperative Stock Certificate and Cooperative Lease, (ii) with
respect to each Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Loan, the related Mortgage Note and
Mortgage, and (iii) any insurance policies and all other documents in the related Mortgage File,
(B) all amounts payable pursuant to the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof, (C)
any Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests and (D) all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in the Certificate Account or the
Custodial Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property and (2)
an assignment by the Company to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of
[_______________]’s right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in the foregoing clauses
(1)(A), (B), (C) and (D) granted by [_______________] to the Company pursuant to the Assignment
Agreement; (c) the possession by the Trustee, any Custodian on behalf of the Trustee or any other
agent of the Trustee of Mortgage Notes or such other items of property as constitute instruments,
money, payment intangibles, negotiable documents, goods, deposit accounts, letters of credit,
advices of credit, investment property, certificated securities or chattel paper shall be deemed to
be “possession by the secured party,” or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such
secured party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Minnesota Uniform
Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction as in effect
(including, without limitation, Sections 8-106, 9-313, 9-314 and 9-106 thereof); and (d)
38
notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts
or confirmations from, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or persons holding for (as
applicable) the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
The Company and, at the Company’s direction, [_______________] and the Trustee shall, to the
extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure
that, if this Agreement were determined to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans, any
Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests and the other property described above, such security
interest would be determined to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable
law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee not less than 15
days prior to any filing date and, the Trustee shall forward for filing, or shall cause to be
forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Company, all filings necessary to maintain the
effectiveness of any original filings necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in
any jurisdiction to perfect the Trustee’s security interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans and
any Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the
Company, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as
may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of [_______________], the Company or the Trustee (such
preparation and filing shall be at the expense of the Trustee, if occasioned by a change in the
Trustee’s name), (2) any change of type or jurisdiction of organization of [_______________] or the
Company, (3) any transfer of any interest of [_______________] or the Company in any Mortgage Loan
or (4) any transfer of any interest of [_______________] or the Company in any Uncertificated REMIC
Regular Interest.
(g) The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges the receipt by it of the Initial Monthly Payment
Fund. The Master Servicer shall hold such Initial Monthly Payment Fund in the Custodial Account
and shall include such Initial Monthly Payment Fund in the Available Distribution Amount for the
initial Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Initial Monthly
Payment Fund shall not be an asset of any REMIC. To the extent that the Initial Monthly Payment
Fund constitutes a reserve fund for federal income tax purposes, (1) it shall be an outside reserve
fund and not an asset of any REMIC, (2) it shall be owned by the Seller and (3) amounts transferred
by any REMIC to the Initial Monthly Payment Fund shall be treated as transferred to the Seller or
any successor, all within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(h) of the Treasury Regulations.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Custodial
Agreement, and based solely upon a receipt or certification executed by the Custodian, receipt by
the respective Custodian as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee) of the documents required to
be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) pursuant to Section 2.01(b)
above (except that for purposes of such acknowledgement only, a Mortgage Note may be endorsed in
blank) and declares that it, or the Custodian as its agent, holds and will hold such documents and
the other documents constituting a part of the Custodial Files delivered to it, or a Custodian as
its agent, and the rights of [_______________] with respect to any Additional
39
Collateral and the Surety Bond assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01, in trust for
the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee or Custodian (the
Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement) agrees, for the benefit of
Certificateholders, to review each Custodial File delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01(b)
within 45 days after the Closing Date to ascertain that all required documents (specifically as set
forth in Section 2.01(b)), have been executed and received, and that such documents relate to the
Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, as supplemented, that have been conveyed
to it, and to deliver to the Trustee a certificate (the “Interim Certification”) to the effect that
all documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(b) above have been executed and
received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Interim Certification.
Upon delivery of the Custodial Files by the Company or the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall
acknowledge receipt (or, with respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Custodial Agreement, and based
solely upon a receipt or certification executed by the Custodian, receipt by the respective
Custodian as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section
2.01(c) above.
If the Custodian, as the Trustee’s agent, finds any document or documents constituting a part
of a Custodial File to be missing or defective, the Trustee shall promptly so notify the Master
Servicer and the Company. Pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will
notify the Master Servicer, the Company and the Trustee of any such omission or defect found by it
in respect of any Custodial File held by it in respect of the items reviewed by it pursuant to the
Custodial Agreement. If such omission or defect materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify [_______________] of such
omission or defect and request [_______________] to correct or cure such omission or defect within
60 days from the date the Master Servicer was notified of such omission or defect and, if
[_______________] does not correct or cure such omission or defect within such period, require
[_______________] to purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at its Purchase Price, within
90 days from the date the Master Servicer was notified of such omission or defect; provided that if
the omission or defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as
defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days
from the date such breach was discovered. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be
deposited by the Master Servicer in the Custodial Account maintained by it pursuant to Section 3.07
and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing
Officer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, shall release the
contents of any related Mortgage File in its possession to the owner of such Mortgage Loan (or such
owners’ designee) and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by the Master Servicer, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to
vest in [_______________] or its designee any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and thereafter
such Mortgage Loan shall not be part of the Trust Fund. In furtherance of the foregoing and
Section 2.04, if the Subservicer or Seller or [___________] that repurchases the Mortgage Loan is
not a member of MERS and the Mortgage is registered on the MERS® System, the Master Servicer, 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 such
Subservicer or Seller or [____________] and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from
registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and
40
regulations. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of [_______________] to so cure
or purchase any Mortgage Loan as to which a material and adverse defect in or omission of a
constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect or omission
available to Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
Section 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Master Servicer and the Company.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders that as of the Closing Date:
(i) The Master Servicer is a [corporation][limited liability company] duly
[organized][formed], validly existing and in good standing under the laws governing its
creation and existence and is or will be in compliance with the laws of each state in which
any Mortgaged Property is located to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of
each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master Servicer and its
performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not violate the Master
Servicer’s [Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws][Operating Agreement][Formation or
Limited Liability Company Agreement] or constitute a material default (or an event which,
with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a material default) under, or result
in the material breach of, any material contract, agreement or other instrument to which the
Master Servicer is a party or which may be applicable to the Master Servicer or any of its
assets;
(iii) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee
and the Company, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Master Servicer,
enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether such
enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;
(iv) The Master Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any
court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental
agency, which default might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the
condition (financial or other) or operations of the Master Servicer or its properties or
might have consequences that would materially adversely affect its performance hereunder;
(v) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master Servicer’s knowledge,
threatened against the Master Servicer which would prohibit its entering into this Agreement
or performing its obligations under this Agreement;
(vi) The Master Servicer will comply in all material respects in the performance of
this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under each
Required Insurance Policy;
41
(vii) No information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or

statement or report not misleading;
(viii) The Master Servicer has examined each existing, and will examine each new,
Subservicing Agreement and is or will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of each
existing Subservicing Agreement and each designated Subservicer are acceptable to the Master

3.02; and
(ix) The Master Servicer is a member of MERS in good standing, and will 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.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section
2.03(a) shall survive delivery of the respective Custodial Files to the Trustee or the Custodian.
Upon discovery by either the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian of a
breach of any representation or warranty set forth in this Section 2.03(a) which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties (the Custodian being
so obligated under a Custodial Agreement). Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of
notice of such breach, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cure such breach in all material
respects or (ii) to the extent that such breach is with respect to a Mortgage Loan or a related
document, purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in the manner
set forth in Section 2.02; provided that if the omission or defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to
be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or
repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. The obligation of
the Master Servicer to cure such breach or to so purchase such Mortgage Loan shall constitute the
sole remedy in respect of a breach of a representation and warranty set forth in this Section
2.03(a) available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Representations and warranties relating to the Mortgage Loans are set forth in Section
2.03(b) of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties of [_______________].
The Company, as assignee of [_______________] under the Assignment Agreement, hereby assigns
to the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders all of its right, title and interest in
respect of the Assignment Agreement applicable to a Mortgage Loan. Insofar as the Assignment
Agreement relates to the representations and warranties made by [_______________] in respect of
such Mortgage Loan and any remedies provided thereunder for any breach of such representations and
warranties, such right, title and interest may be enforced by the Master Servicer on behalf of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders. Upon the discovery
42
by the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties set forth in the Assignment Agreement (which, for purposes hereof,
will be deemed to include any other cause giving rise to a repurchase obligation under the
Assignment Agreement) in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall
give prompt written notice to the other parties (the Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial
Agreement). The Master Servicer shall promptly notify [_______________] of such breach and request
that [_______________] either (i) cure such breach in all material respects within 90 days from the
date the Master Servicer was notified of such breach or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the
Trust Fund within 90 days of the date of such written notice of such breach at the Purchase Price
and in the manner set forth in Section 2.02; provided that [_______________] shall have the option
to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan if such
substitution occurs within two years following the Closing Date; provided that if the breach would
cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, any such cure, repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the
breach was discovered. If a breach of the Compliance With Laws Representation has given rise to
the obligation to repurchase or substitute a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 4 of the Assignment
Agreement, then the Master Servicer shall request that [_______________] pay to the Trust Fund,
concurrently with and in addition to the remedies provided in the preceding sentence, an amount
equal to any liability, penalty or expense that was actually incurred and paid out of or on behalf
of the Trust Fund, and that directly resulted from such breach, or if incurred and paid by the
Trust Fund thereafter, concurrently with such payment. In the event that [_______________] elects
to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this Section 2.04, [_______________] shall deliver to the Trustee or the Custodian for the benefit
of the Certificateholders with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the
original Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, an Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form, if required
pursuant to Section 2.01, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01,
with the Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01. No substitution will be made in any
calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust
Fund and will be retained by the Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to
[_______________] on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution,
distributions to the Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due on a Deleted Mortgage
Loan for such month and thereafter [_______________] shall be entitled to retain all amounts
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend or cause to be
amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule, and, if the Deleted Mortgag
e Loan was a Discount Mortgage Loan,
the Schedule of Discount Fractions, for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the
removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule, and, if the
Deleted Mortgage Loan was a Discount Mortgage Loan, the amended Schedule of Discount Fractions, to
the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be
subject to the terms of this Agreement and the related Subservicing Agreement in all respects,
[_______________] shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties with respect to
the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan contained in the related Assignment Agreement, and the
Company and the Master Servicer shall
43
be deemed to have made with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of
the date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Section
2.04, in Section 2.03 hereof and in Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement, and the Master Servicer
shall be obligated to repurchase or substitute for any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as to
which a Repurchase Event (as defined in the Assignment Agreement) has occurred pursuant to Section
4 of the Assignment Agreement.
In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one
or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the
aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
(in each case after application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payments due in the month
of substitution that are to be distributed to the Certificateholders in the month of substitution).
[_______________] shall deposit the amount of such shortfall into the Custodial Account on the day
of substitution, without any reimbursement therefor. [_______________] shall give notice in
writing to the Trustee of such event, which notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate
as to the calculation of such shortfall and (subject to Section 10.01(f)) by 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)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section
860G(d)(1) of the Code or (b) any portion of any REMIC to fail to qualify as such at any time that
any Certificate is outstanding.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of [_______________] to cure such breach or
purchase, or to substitute for, a Mortgage Loan as to which such a breach has occurred and is
continuing and to make any additional payments required under the Assignment Agreement in
connection with a breach of the Compliance With Laws Representation shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of
Certificateholders. If the Master Servicer is [_______________], then the Trustee shall also have
the right to give the notification and require the purchase or substitution provided for in the
second preceding paragraph in the event of such a breach of a representation or warranty made by
[_______________] in the Assignment Agreement. In connection with the purchase of or substitution
for any such Mortgage Loan by [_______________], the Trustee shall assign to [_______________] all
of the Trustee’s right, title and interest in respect of the Assignment Agreement applicable to
such Mortgage Loan.
Section 2.05. Execution and Authentication of Certificates/Issuance of Certificates
Evidencing Interests in REMIC I Certificates.
As provided in Section 2.05 of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.06. Conveyance of Uncertificated REMIC I and REMIC II Regular Interests;
Acceptance by the Trustee.
As provided in Section 2.06 of the Series Supplement.
44
Section 2.07. Issuance of Certificates Evidencing Interests in REMIC II.
As provided in Section 2.07 of the Series Supplement.
Section 2.08. Purposes and Powers of the Trust.
The purpose of the trust, as created hereunder, is to engage in the following activities:
(a) to sell the Certificates to the Company in exchange for the Mortgage Loans;
(b) to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(c) to engage in those activities that are necessary, suitable or convenient to accomplish the
foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith; and
(d) subject to compliance with this Agreement, to engage in such other activities as may be
required in connection with conservation of the Trust Fund and the making of distributions to the
Certificateholders.
The trust is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing activities. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 11.01, the trust shall not engage in any activity other than in connection
with the foregoing or other than as required or authorized by the terms of this Agreement while any
Certificate is outstanding, and this Section 2.08 may not be amended, without the consent of the
Certificateholders evidencing a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority,
acting alone or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do any and all things which it
may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a
Subservicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer or the
Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment, to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or of
consent to assumption or modification in connection with a proposed conveyance, or of assignment of
any Mortgage and Mortgage Note in connection with the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan and all other
comparable instruments, or with respect to the modification or re-recording of a Mortgage for the
purpose of correcting the Mortgage, the
45
subordination of the lien of the Mortgage in favor of a public utility company or government
agency or unit with powers of eminent domain, the taking of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the
commencement, prosecution or completion of judicial or non-judicial foreclosure, the conveyance of
a Mortgaged Property to the related Insurer, the acquisition of any property acquired by
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or the management, marketing and conveyance of any
property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgage Loans
and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Master 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 Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be,
believes it 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 expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the
preceding sentence shall be borne by the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.16(c), with
no right of reimbursement; provided, that if, as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable
to continue operations in connection with the MERS System, it becomes necessary to remove any
Mortgage Loan from registration on the MERS System and to arrange for the assignment of the related
Mortgages to the Trustee, then any related expenses shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 3.07(a), the Master Servicer shall not permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both constitute a sale or exchange of
such Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code and any proposed, temporary or
final regulations promulgated thereunder (other than in connection with a proposed conveyance or
assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is treated as a Principal Prepayment in Full pursuant to
Section 3.13(d) hereof) and cause any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under the Code. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer with any powers of
attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and
administer the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by the Master
Servicer or any Subservicer pursuant to such powers of attorney. In servicing and administering any
Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent not inconsistent with this
Agreement, comply with the Program Guide as if it were the originator of such Mortgage Loan and had
retained the servicing rights and obligations in respect thereof.
(b) In connection with servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer and
any Affiliate of the Master Servicer (i) may perform services such as appraisals and brokerage
services that are not customarily provided by servicers of mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to
reasonable compensation therefor in accordance with Section 3.10 and (ii) may, at its own
discretion and on behalf of the Trustee, obtain credit information in the form of a “credit score”
from a credit repository.
(c) All costs incurred by the Master Servicer or by Subservicers in effecting the timely
payment of taxes and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage Loans shall not, for the
purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the amount
owing under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such
46
Mortgage Loan so permit, and such costs shall be recoverable to the extent permitted by
Section 3.10(a).
(d) The Master Servicer may enter into one or more agreements in connection with the offering
of pass-through certificates evidencing interests in one or more of the Certificates providing for
the payment by the Master Servicer of amounts received by the Master Servicer as servicing
compensation hereunder and required to cover certain Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage
Loans, which payment obligation will thereafter be an obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder.
(e) The relationship of the Master Servicer (and of any successor to the Master Servicer) to
the Depositor under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent
contractor and not that of a joint venture, partner or agent.
(f) The Master Servicer shall comply with the terms of Section 8 of the Assignment Agreement.
Section 3.02. Subservicing Agreements Between Master Servicer and Subservicers;
Enforcement of Subservicers’ and Sellers’ Obligations.
(a) The Master Servicer may continue in effect Subservicing Agreements entered into by
[_______________] and Subservicers prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and may
enter into new Subservicing Agreements with Subservicers, for the servicing and administration of
all or some of the Mortgage Loans. Each Subservicer of a Mortgage Loan shall be entitled to
receive and retain, as provided in the related Subservicing Agreement and in Section 3.07, the
related Subservicing Fee from payments of interest received on such Mortgage Loan after payment of
all amounts required to be remitted to the Master Servicer in respect of such Mortgage Loan. For
any Mortgage Loan that is a Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
receive and retain an amount equal to the Subservicing Fee from payments of interest. Unless the
context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the
Master Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a
Subservicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Each Subservicing Agreement will be upon such terms
and conditions as are generally required or permitted by the Program Guide and are not inconsistent
with this Agreement and as the Master Servicer and the Subservicer have agreed. A representative
form of Subservicing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit E. With the approval of the Master
Servicer, a Subservicer may delegate its servicing obligations to third-party servicers, but such
Subservicer will remain obligated under the related Subservicing Agreement. The Master Servicer
and a Subservicer may enter into amendments thereto or a different form of Subservicing Agreement,
and the form referred to or included in the Program Guide is merely provided for information and
shall not be deemed to limit in any respect the discretion of the Master Servicer to modify or
enter into different Subservicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such amendments or
different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the provisions of either this Agreement or
the Program Guide in a manner which would materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Certificateholders. The Program Guide and any other Subservicing Agreement entered into between
the Master Servicer and any Subservicer shall require the Subservicer to accurately and fully
report its borrower credit files to each of the Credit Repositories in a timely manner.
47
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer, for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall use its best reasonable efforts to enforce the
obligations of each Subservicer under the related Subservicing Agreement and of each Seller under
the related Seller’s Agreement insofar as the Company’s rights with respect to Seller’s obligation
has been assigned to the Trustee hereunder, to the extent that the non-performance of any such
Seller’s obligation would have a material and adverse effect on a Mortgage Loan, including, without
limitation, the obligation to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of defective documentation, as
described in Section 2.02, or on account of a breach of a representation or warranty, as described
in Section 2.04. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,
termination of Subservicing Agreements or Seller’s Agreements, as appropriate, and the pursuit of
other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such
time as the Master Servicer would employ in its good faith business judgment and which are normal
and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities. The Master 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 Loan or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs,
expenses or attorneys fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. For
purposes of clarification only, the parties agree that the foregoing is not intended to, and does
not, limit the ability of the Master Servicer to be reimbursed for expenses that are incurred in
connection with the enforcement of a Seller’s obligations (insofar as the Company’s rights with
respect to such Seller’s obligations have been assigned to the Trustee hereunder) and are
reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(viii).
Section 3.03. Successor Subservicers.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement that may exist
in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and without any
limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of
termination of any Subservicing Agreement by the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, the Master
Servicer shall either act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loan or enter into a Subservicing
Agreement with a successor Subservicer which will be bound by the terms of the related Subservicing
Agreement. If the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of [_______________] acts as servicer, it will
not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Subservicer which it replaces.
If the Master Servicer enters into a Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer, the
Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Subservicer assume liability for
the representations and warranties made by the terminated Subservicer in respect of the related
Mortgage Loans and, in the event of any such assumption by the successor Subservicer, the Master
Servicer may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the terminated Subservicer from
liability for such representations and warranties.
Section 3.04. Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer or a Subservicer or reference to actions
taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and 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
48
such obligation or liability by virtue of such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by
virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer or the Company and to the same extent and under the
same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a
Subservicer or Seller for indemnification of the Master Servicer and nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and Trustee or Certificateholders.
Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or services
relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such and not as an
originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Master 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 Subservicer in its capacity as such
except as set forth in Section 3.06. The foregoing provision shall not in any way limit a
Subservicer’s obligation to cure an omission or defect or to repurchase a Mortgage Loan as referred
to in Section 2.02 hereof.
Section 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by Trustee.
(a) If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master servicer (including by
reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee, its designee or its successor shall thereupon assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that may
have been entered into. The Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee shall
be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the
Master Servicer as a party to the Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if the Subservicing
Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby
be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing Agreement.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of the Master
Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and
held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of each
Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party.
Section 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments; Deposits to Custodial Account.
(a) The Master 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 related Primary Insurance
Policy, follow such collection procedures as it would employ in its good faith business judgment
and which are normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities. Consistent with the
foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the prepayment
49
of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the Due Date for payments due on a Mortgage Loan in accordance
with the Program Guide; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall first determine that any
such waiver or extension will not impair the coverage of any related Primary Insurance Policy or
materially adversely affect the lien of the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not enforce any prepayment charge to the extent
that such enforcement would violate any applicable law. In the event of any such arrangement, the
Master Servicer shall make timely P&I Advances on the related Mortgage Loan during the scheduled
period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification
thereof by reason of such arrangements unless otherwise agreed to by the Holders of the Classes of
Certificates affected thereby; provided, however, that no such extension shall be made if any such
P&I Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the
Master Servicer may also waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any
Mortgagor if in the Master 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, that
the Master Servicer may not modify materially or permit any Subservicer to modify any Mortgage
Loan, including without limitation any modification that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive
the payment of any principal or interest (unless in connection with the liquidation of the related
Mortgage Loan or except in connection with prepayments to the extent that such reamortization is
not inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loan), capitalize any amounts owing on the Mortgage
Loan by adding such amount to the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or extend the
final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, unless such Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the
judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable; provided, further, that no
such modification shall reduce the interest rate on a Mortgage Loan below the rate at which the
Subservicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan accrues plus the rate at which the premium paid
to the Certificate Insurer, if any, accrues. In addition, any amounts owing on a Mortgage Loan to
the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan shall be implemented in accordance with the
Program Guide and may be implemented only by Subservicers that have been approved by the Master
Servicer for such purpose. Any modification made pursuant to any of the three preceding sentences
that is not made pursuant to the Home Affordable Modification Program established pursuant to the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended, as determined by the Company or the
Master Servicer, shall only be permitted if the Company or the Master Servicer obtains and delivers
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the
effect that such modification will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited
transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC formed under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC (for federal (or any applicable State or
local) income tax purposes) at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Trustee shall
have no obligation to determine whether any such Opinion of Counsel is required with respect to the
modification of any Mortgage Loans. In connection with any Curtailment of a Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Note
and local law
and practice, may permit the Mortgage Loan to be reamortized such that the Monthly Payment is
recalculated as an amount that will fully amortize the remaining Stated Principal
Balance thereof by the original Maturity Date based on the original Mortgage Rate; provided,
50
that such re-amortization shall not be permitted if it would constitute a reissuance of the
Mortgage Loan for federal income tax purposes, except if such reissuance is described in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860G-2(b)(3).
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Custodial Account in which the Master
Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis, except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it
in respect of the Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal
and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date):
(i) All payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments made by
Mortgagors on the Mortgage Loans and the principal component of any Subservicer Advance or
of any REO Proceeds received in connection with an REO Property for which an REO Disposition
has occurred;
(ii) All payments on account of interest at the Adjusted Mortgage Rate on the Mortgage
Loans, including Buydown Funds, if any, and the interest component of any Subservicer
Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in connection with an REO Property for which an REO
Disposition has occurred;
(iii) Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (net of any
related expenses of the Subservicer);
(iv) All proceeds of any Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04
or 4.07 (including amounts received from [_______________] pursuant to the last paragraph of
Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement in respect of any liability, penalty or expense that
resulted from a breach of the Compliance With Laws Representation and all amounts required
to be deposited in connection with the substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.04;
(v) Any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.07(c), 3.08(b) or 3.21;
(vi) All amounts transferred from the Certificate Account to the Custodial Account in
accordance with Section 4.02(a); and
(vii) Any amounts realized by the Subservicer and received by the Master Servicer in
respect of any Additional Collateral.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being
understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments on the
Mortgage Loans which are not part of the Trust Fund (consisting of payments in respect of principal
and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) and, unless otherwise set
forth in the series supplement, payments or collections in the nature of prepayment charges or late
payment charges or assumption fees may but need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the
Custodial Account. In the event any amount not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account
is so deposited, the Master Servicer may at any time withdraw such amount
from the Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Further, the
51
Master Servicer shall, not less frequently than every two Business days, remove from the Custodial
Account any funds relating to Mortgage Loans that are owned by the Master Servicer.
With respect to Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, REO Proceeds and the proceeds of the
purchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 and 4.07 received in any
calendar month, the Master Servicer may elect to treat such amounts as included in the Available
Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date in the month of receipt, but is not obligated to do
so. If the Master Servicer so elects, such amounts will be deemed to have been received (and any
related Realized Loss shall be deemed to have occurred) on the last day of the month prior to the
receipt thereof.
(c) The Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause the institution maintaining the
Custodial Account to invest the funds in the Custodial Account attributable to the Mortgage Loans
in Permitted Investments which shall mature not later than the Certificate Account Deposit Date
next following the date of such investment (with the exception of the Amount Held for Future
Distribution) and which shall not be sold or disposed of prior to their maturities. All income and
gain realized from any such investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as
additional servicing compensation and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to
time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments attributable to the
investment of amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the Custodial Account
by the Master Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized without any right of
reimbursement.
(d) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Company of any change in the
location of the Custodial Account and the location of the Certificate Account prior to the use
thereof.
Section 3.08. Subservicing Accounts; Servicing Accounts.
(a) In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Subservicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicer, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement,
to establish and maintain one or more Subservicing Accounts which shall be an Eligible Account or,
if such account is not an Eligible Account, shall generally satisfy the requirements of the Program
Guide and be otherwise acceptable to the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency. The Subservicer
will be required thereby to deposit into the Subservicing Account on a daily basis all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Subservicer, less its Subservicing Fees and unreimbursed Subservicer
Advances, Servicing Advances and expenses, to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement.
If the Subservicing Account is not an Eligible Account, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have
received such monies upon receipt thereof by the Subservicer. The Subservicer shall not be
required to deposit in the Subservicing Account payments or collections in the nature of prepayment
charges or late charges or assumption fees. On or before the date specified in the Program Guide,
but in no event later than the Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicer,
pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to remit to the Master Servicer for deposit in the
Custodial Account all funds held in the Subservicing Account with respect to each Mortgage Loan
serviced by such Subservicer that are required to be remitted to the Master Servicer. The
Subservicer will also be required, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to make Subservicer
52
Advances on such scheduled date of remittance amounts equal to any scheduled monthly installments
of principal and interest less its Subservicing Fees on any Mortgage Loans for which payment was
not received by the Subservicer. This obligation to advance with respect to each Mortgage Loan
will continue up to and including the first of the month following the date on which the related
Mortgaged Property is sold at a foreclosure sale or is acquired by the Trust Fund by deed in lieu
of foreclosure or otherwise. All such advances received by the Master Servicer shall be deposited
promptly by it in the Custodial Account.
(b) The Subservicer may also be required, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to remit to
the Master Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account interest at the Adjusted Mortgage Rate (or
Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan) on any Curtailment received by
such Subservicer in respect of a Mortgage Loan from the related Mortgagor during any month that is
to be applied by the Subservicer to reduce the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan as of the first day of such month, from the date of application of such Curtailment to the
first day of the following month.
(c) In addition to the Custodial Account and the Certificate Account, the Master Servicer
shall for any Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, and shall cause the Subservicers for Subserviced
Mortgage Loans to, establish and maintain one or more Servicing Accounts and deposit and retain
therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances from Subservicers) for the payment of
taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, or
comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Each Servicing Account shall satisfy the
requirements for a Subservicing Account and, to the extent permitted by the Program Guide or as is
otherwise acceptable to the Master Servicer, may also function as a Subservicing Account.
Withdrawals of amounts related to the Mortgage Loans from the Servicing Accounts may be made only
to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy
premiums, if applicable, or comparable items, to reimburse the Master Servicer or Subservicer out
of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.11 (with respect to the Primary
Insurance Policy) and 3.12(a) (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any
sums as may be determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required, to Mortgagors on balances
in the Servicing Account or to clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 or in accordance with the Program Guide. As part of its
servicing duties, the Master Servicer shall, and the Subservicers will, pursuant to the
Subservicing Agreements, be required to pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in this account to
the extent required by law.
(d) The Master Servicer shall make Servicing Advances to pay taxes, assessments, hazard
insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, or comparable items on all
Mortgage Loans that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors or advanced by the Subservicers on the
date when the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the Master
Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that such Servicing Advances, in the
good faith judgment of the Master Servicer would not be Nonrecoverable Advances.
53
Section 3.09. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans.
If compliance with this Section 3.09 shall make any Class of Certificates legal for investment
by federally insured savings and loan associations, the Master Servicer shall provide, or cause the
Subservicers to provide, to the Trustee, the Office of Thrift Supervision or the FDIC and the
supervisory agents and examiners thereof access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision, such access being afforded
without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices
designated by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall permit such representatives to
photocopy any such documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge
reasonably approximating the cost of such photocopying to the Master Servicer.
Section 3.10. Permitted Withdrawals from the Custodial Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein, make withdrawals from the
Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein pursuant to Section 3.07 that are attributable to
the Mortgage Loans for the following purposes:
(i) to make deposits into the Certificate Account in the amounts and in the manner
provided for in Section 4.01;
(ii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for previously unreimbursed
Advances, Subservicer Advances or other expenses made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.07(a),
3.08, 3.11, 3.12(a), 3.14 and 4.04 or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, such withdrawal right being limited to amounts received on the related Mortgage
Loans (including, for this purpose, REO Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds
and proceeds from the purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04 or
4.07) which represent (A) Late Collections of Monthly Payments for which any such advance
was made in the case of Subservicer Advances or Advances pursuant to Section 4.04 and (B)
recoveries of amounts in respect of which such advances were made in the case of Servicing
Advances;
(iii) to pay to the related Subservicer (if not previously retained by such
Subservicer) out of each payment received by the Master Servicer on account of interest on a
Mortgage Loan as contemplated by Sections 3.14 and 3.16, an amount equal to that remaining
portion of any such payment as to interest (but not in excess of the Subservicing Fee, if
not previously retained) which, when deducted, will result in the remaining amount of such
interest being interest at the Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case
of a Modified Mortgage Loan) on the amount specified in the amortization schedule of the
related Mortgage Loan as the principal balance thereof at the beginning of the period
respecting which such interest was paid after giving effect to any previous Curtailments;
54
(iv) to pay to itself as servicing compensation any interest or investment income
earned on funds and other property deposited in or credited to the Custodial Account that it
is entitled to withdraw pursuant to Section 3.07(c);
(v) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation any Foreclosure Profits and
any amounts paid by a Mortgagor in connection with a Principal Prepayment in Full in respect
of interest for any period during the calendar month in which such Principal Prepayment in
Full is to be distributed to the Certificateholders;
(vi) to pay to itself, a Subservicer, a Seller, [_______________], the Company or any
other appropriate Person, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property
acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased or otherwise transferred pursuant to
Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 4.07 or 9.01, all amounts received thereon and not required to be
distributed to the Certificateholders as of the date on which the related Stated Principal
Balance or Purchase Price is determined;
(vii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for (1) any Nonrecoverable
Advance, (2) any P&I Advance made with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is 90 or more days
Delinquent or (3) any made in connection with a modified Mortgage Loan that is in default
or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, default is reasonably foreseeable pursuant to
Section 3.07(a), to the extent the amount of the Advance was added to the Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan in a prior calendar month, or any Advance reimbursable to the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(a);
(viii) to reimburse itself or the Company for any advance made and expenses incurred by
it or the Company, to the extent such advances or expenses are reimbursable to it or the
Company pursuant to this Agreement (including, but not limited to, amounts reimbursable (A)
pursuant to Sections 3.01(a), 3.01(b), 3.11, 3.13, 3.14(c), 6.03 or 10.01 and (B) in
connection with enforcing, in accordance with this Agreement, any repurchase, substitution
or indemnification obligation of any Seller (other than an Affiliate of the Company)
pursuant to the related Seller’s Agreement);
(ix) to reimburse itself for Servicing Advances expended by it (a) pursuant to Section
3.14 in good faith in connection with the restoration of property damaged by an Uninsured
Cause, and (b) in connection with the liquidation of a Mortgage Loan or disposition of an
REO Property to the extent not otherwise reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) or (viii) above;
and
(x) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Custodial Account that was not required to
be deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.07.
(b) Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii), (v) and (vi), the
Master Servicer’s entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan
by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Custodial Account
pursuant to such clauses.
55
Section 3.11. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.
(a) The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Subservicer to take, any action which
would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but
for the actions of the Master Servicer or Subservicer, would have been covered thereunder. To the
extent coverage is available, the Master Servicer shall keep or cause to be kept in full force and
effect each such Primary Insurance Policy until the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan
secured by a Mortgaged Property is reduced to 80% or less of the Appraised Value in the case of
such a Mortgage Loan having a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80%, provided that
such Primary Insurance Policy was in place as of the Cut-off Date and the Company had knowledge of
such Primary Insurance Policy. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to cancel or permit the
discontinuation of any Primary Insurance Policy as to any Mortgage Loan, if the Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loan is reduced below an amount equal to 80% of the appraised value of the
related Mortgaged Property as determined in any appraisal thereof after the Closing Date, or if the
Loan-to-Value Ratio is reduced below 80% as a result of principal payments on the Mortgage Loan
after the Closing Date. In the event that the Company gains knowledge that as of the Closing Date,
a Mortgage Loan had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80% and is not the subject of
a Primary Insurance Policy (and was not included in any exception to the representation in Section
2.03(b)(iv)) and that such Mortgage Loan has a current Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess of 80% then
the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain a Primary Insurance
Policy to the extent that such a policy is obtainable at a reasonable price. The Master Servicer
shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a
Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, or consent to any Subservicer canceling or refusing to renew any such
Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a Mortgage Loan subserviced by it, that is in effect at the
date of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder
unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is
maintained with an insurer whose claims-paying ability is acceptable to each Rating Agency for
mortgage pass-through certificates having a rating equal to or better than the lower of the
then-current rating or the rating assigned to the Certificates as of the Closing Date by such
Rating Agency.
(b) In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer agrees to present or to cause the related Subservicer to present, on behalf of the
Master Servicer, the Subservicer, if any, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims to the related
Insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies, in a timely manner in accordance with such policies,
and, in this regard, to take or cause to be taken such reasonable action as shall be necessary to
permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant
to Section 3.07, any Insurance Proceeds collected by or remitted to the Master Servicer under any
Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.10.
Section 3.12. Maintenance of Fire Insurance and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (other than a
Cooperative Loan) fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is equal to
56
the lesser of the principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan or 100 percent of the
insurable value of the improvements; provided, however, that such coverage may not
be less than the minimum amount required to fully compensate for any loss or damage on a
replacement cost basis. To the extent it may do so without breaching the related Subservicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall replace any Subservicer that does not cause such insurance, to
the extent it is available, to be maintained. The Master Servicer shall also cause to be
maintained on property acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage
Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan), fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is
at least equal to the amount necessary to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause
contained in the related hazard insurance policy. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any amounts collected
by the Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration
or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited
in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10. Any cost incurred by the
Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by
the Master Servicer out of related late payments by the Mortgagor or out of Insurance Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section 3.10. It is understood and agreed that no
earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on
property acquired in respect of a Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
Whenever the improvements securing a Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan) are located at
the time of origination of such Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area,
the Master Servicer shall cause flood insurance (to the extent available) to be maintained in
respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount
required to compensate for any loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property on a replacement cost basis
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).
If the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket fire insurance policy with extended
coverage insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be
deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first sentence of this Section
3.12(a), it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which
case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the
related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.12(a) and
there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the
Certificate Account the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such
deductible clause. Any such deposit by the Master Servicer shall be made on the Certificate
Account Deposit Date next preceding the Distribution Date which occurs in the month following the
month in which payments under any such policy would have been deposited in the Custodial Account.
In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims
under any such blanket policy.
57
(b) The Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force
and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and
omissions insurance policy covering the Master Servicer’s officers and employees and other persons
acting on behalf of the Master Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement.
The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required by Xxxxxx Xxx
or Xxxxxxx Mac, whichever is greater, with respect to the Master Servicer if the Master Servicer
were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. In the event
that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Master Servicer shall obtain a comparable
replacement bond or policy from an issuer or insurer, as the case may be, meeting the requirements,
if any, of the Program Guide and acceptable to the Company. Coverage of the Master Servicer under
a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer and providing the coverage
required by this Section 3.12(b) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.12(b).
Section 3.13. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Modification Agreements; Certain Assignments.
(a) When any Mortgaged Property is conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer or
Subservicer, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, shall enforce any due-on-sale
clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law and
governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or
jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section 3.13(a)
by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Master Servicer is restricted by law from
preventing; and
(ii) if the Master Servicer determines that it is reasonably likely that any Mortgagor
will bring, or if any Mortgagor does bring, legal action to declare invalid or otherwise
avoid enforcement of a due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, the
Master Servicer shall not be required to enforce the due-on-sale clause or to contest such
action.
(b) Subject to the Master Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set
forth in Section 3.13(a), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed to a Person
by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption or modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage which requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an
instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from liability on
the Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer is authorized, subject to the requirements of the sentence
next following, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the assumption agreement with the
Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to
carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable
laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person;
provided, however, none of such terms and requirements shall either (i) both (A)
constitute a “significant modification” effecting an
58
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under the REMIC Provisions and (B) cause any
portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the
Code or (subject to Section 10.01(f)), result in the imposition of any tax on “prohibited
transactions” or (ii) constitute “contributions” after the start-up date under the REMIC
Provisions. The Master Servicer shall execute and deliver such documents only if it reasonably
determines that (i) its execution and delivery thereof will not conflict with or violate any terms
of this Agreement or cause the unpaid balance and interest on the Mortgage Loan to be uncollectible
in whole or in part, (ii) any required consents of insurers under any Required Insurance Policies
have been obtained and (iii) subsequent to the closing of the transaction involving the assumption
or transfer (A) the Mortgage Loan will continue to be secured by a first mortgage lien pursuant to
the terms of the Mortgage, (B) such transaction will not adversely affect the coverage under any
Required Insurance Policies, (C) the Mortgage Loan will fully amortize over the remaining term
thereof, (D) no material term of the Mortgage Loan (including the interest rate on the Mortgage
Loan) will be altered nor will the term of the Mortgage Loan be changed and (E) if the
seller/transferor of the Mortgaged Property is to be released from liability on the Mortgage Loan,
such release will not (based on the Master Servicer’s or Subservicer’s good faith determination)
adversely affect the collectability of the Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of appropriate instructions
from the Master Servicer in accordance with the foregoing, the Trustee shall execute any necessary
instruments for such assumption or substitution of liability as directed in writing by the Master
Servicer. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by such documents, the Master Servicer
shall cause the originals or true and correct copies of the assumption agreement, the release (if
any), or the modification or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage to be delivered to the
Trustee or the Custodian and deposited with the Mortgage File for such Mortgage Loan. Any fee
collected by the Master Servicer or such related Subservicer for entering into an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer or such Subservicer as
additional servicing compensation.
(c) The Master Servicer or the related Subservicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to
approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the related Mortgaged Property, the
granting of an easement thereon in favor of another Person, any alteration or demolition of the
related Mortgaged Property (or, with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related Cooperative
Apartment) without any right of reimbursement or other similar matters if it has determined,
exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of
the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such
Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby and that any portion of any REMIC formed
under the Series Supplement would not fail to continue to qualify as a REMIC under the Code as a
result thereof and (subject to Section 10.01(f)) that no tax on “prohibited transactions” or
“contributions” after the startup day would be imposed on any such REMIC as a result thereof. Any
fee collected by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer for processing such a request will
be retained by the Master Servicer or such Subservicer as additional servicing compensation.
(d) Subject to any other applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Trustee and
Master Servicer shall be entitled to approve an assignment in lieu of satisfaction with respect to
any Mortgage Loan, provided the obligee with respect to such Mortgage Loan following such proposed
assignment provides the Trustee and Master Servicer with a “Lender Certification for Assignment of
Mortgage Loan” in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M, in
59
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and Master Servicer, providing the following:
(i) that the substance of the assignment is, and is intended to be, a refinancing of such Mortgage;
(ii) that the Mortgage Loan following the proposed assignment will have a rate of interest at least
0.25 percent below or above the rate of interest on such Mortgage Loan prior to such proposed
assignment; and (iii) that such assignment is at the request of the borrower under the related
Mortgage Loan. Upon approval of an assignment in lieu of satisfaction with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer shall receive cash in an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of
and accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan and the Master Servicer shall treat such amount as a
Principal Prepayment in Full with respect to such Mortgage Loan for all purposes hereof.
Section 3.14. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may
include an REO Acquisition) 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. Alternatively, the Master Servicer may
take other actions in respect of a defaulted Mortgage Loan, which may include (i) accepting a short
sale (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount contractually owed in
order to facilitate a sale of the Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagor) or permitting a short
refinancing (a payoff of the Mortgage Loan for an amount less than the total amount contractually
owed in order to facilitate refinancing transactions by the Mortgagor not involving a sale of the
Mortgaged Property), (ii) arranging for a repayment plan or (iii) agreeing to a modification in
accordance with Section 3.07. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master
Servicer shall, consistent with Section 3.11, follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem
necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities
and as shall be required or permitted by the Program Guide; provided that the Master Servicer shall
not be liable in any respect hereunder if the Master Servicer is acting in connection with any such
foreclosure or other conversion in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of this
Agreement. The Master Servicer, however, shall not be required to expend its own funds or incur
other reimbursable charges in connection with any foreclosure, or attempted foreclosure which is
not completed, or towards the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such
restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to
Holders of Certificates of one or more Classes after reimbursement to itself for such expenses or
charges and (ii) that such expenses or charges will be recoverable to it through Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or REO Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes
of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.10, whether or not such expenses
and charges are actually recoverable from related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or REO
Proceeds). In the event of such a determination by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section
3.14(a), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such amounts pursuant to Section
3.10.
In addition to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to
realize upon any Additional Collateral for such of the Additional Collateral 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; provided that the Master Servicer shall not, on
behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to any such Additional Collateral as a result of or in lieu of
the
60
disposition thereof or otherwise; and provided further that (i) the Master Servicer shall not
proceed with respect to such Additional Collateral in any manner that would impair the ability to
recover against the related Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the Master Servicer shall proceed with any
REO Acquisition in a manner that preserves the ability to apply the proceeds of such Additional
Collateral against amounts owed under the defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any proceeds realized from such
Additional Collateral (other than amounts to be released to the Mortgagor or the related guarantor
in accordance with procedures that the Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its
own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and to
the terms and conditions of any security agreement, guarantee agreement, mortgage or other
agreement governing the disposition of the proceeds of such Additional Collateral) shall be
deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10. Any other
payment received by the Master Servicer in respect of such Additional Collateral shall be deposited
in the Custodial Account subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10.
For so long as the Master Servicer is the Master Servicer under the Credit Support Pledge
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall perform its obligations under the Credit Support Pledge
Agreement in accordance with such Agreement and in a manner that is in the best interests of the
Certificateholders.
Concurrently with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may pursue any remedies that may be
available in connection with a breach of a representation and warranty with respect to any such
Mortgage Loan in accordance with Sections 2.03 and 2.04. However, the Master Servicer is not
required to continue to pursue both foreclosure (or similar remedies) with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and remedies in connection with a breach of a representation and warranty if the Master
Servicer determines in its reasonable discretion that one such remedy is more likely to result in a
greater recovery as to the Mortgage Loan. Upon the occurrence of a Cash Liquidation or REO
Disposition, following the deposit in the Custodial Account of all Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds and other payments and recoveries referred to in the definition of “Cash Liquidation” or
“REO Disposition,” as applicable, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such
deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, shall
release to the Master Servicer the related Custodial File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Master Servicer, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer or its designee, as the case may be,
the related Mortgage Loan, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall not be part of the Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, in the Master Servicer’s
sole discretion with respect to any defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property as to either of the
following provisions, (i) a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition may be deemed to have occurred if
substantially all amounts expected by the Master Servicer to be received in connection with the
related defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property have been received, and (ii) for purposes of
determining the amount of any Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, REO Proceeds or any other
unscheduled collections or the amount of any Realized Loss, the Master Servicer may take into
account minimal amounts of additional receipts expected to be received or any estimated additional
liquidation expenses expected to be incurred in connection with the related defaulted Mortgage Loan
or REO Property.
61
(b) If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired by the Trust Fund as an REO Property by
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to
the Trustee or to its nominee on behalf of Certificateholders. Notwithstanding any such
acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan, such REO Property shall (except
as otherwise expressly provided herein) be considered to be an Outstanding Mortgage Loan held in
the Trust Fund until such time as the REO Property shall be sold. Consistent with the foregoing
for purposes of all calculations hereunder so long as such REO Property shall be considered to be
an Outstanding Mortgage Loan it shall be assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness
evidenced by the related Mortgage Note shall have been discharged, such Mortgage Note and the
related amortization schedule in effect at the time of any such acquisition of title (after giving
effect to any previous Curtailments and before any adjustment thereto by reason of any bankruptcy
or similar proceeding or any moratorium or similar waiver or grace period) remain in effect.
(c) If the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a
default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund
shall dispose of such REO Property as soon as practicable, giving due consideration to the
interests of the Certificateholders, but in all cases within three full years after the taxable
year of its acquisition by the Trust Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (or such
shorter period as may be necessary under applicable state (including any state in which such
property is located) law to maintain the status of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series
Supplement as a REMIC under applicable state law and avoid taxes resulting from such property
failing to be foreclosure property under applicable state law) or, at the expense of the Trust
Fund, request, more than 60 days before the day on which such grace period would otherwise expire,
an extension of such grace period unless the Master Servicer (subject to Section 10.01(f)) obtains
for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the
effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such period will not
result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F of the
Code or cause any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC (for
federal (or any applicable State or local) income tax purposes) at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such REO Property (subject to
any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed from the Custodial Account for any costs incurred in obtaining such Opinion of Counsel,
as provided in Section 3.10. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no REO
Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or
otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that
would (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal
income taxes on the income earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of
Section 860G(c) of the Code, unless the Master Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless
the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
(d) The proceeds of any Cash Liquidation, REO Disposition or purchase or repurchase of any
Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as well as any recovery resulting from a
collection of Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or REO Proceeds, will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master
62
Servicer or the related Subservicer in accordance with Section 3.10(a)(ii); second, to all
Servicing Fees and Subservicing Fees payable therefrom (and the Master Servicer and the Subservicer
shall have no claims for any deficiencies with respect to such fees which result from the foregoing
allocation); third, to the Certificateholders to the extent of accrued and unpaid interest on the
Mortgage Loan, and any related REO Imputed Interest, at the Net Mortgage Rate (or the Modified Net
Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan) to the Due Date prior to the Distribution
Date on which such amounts are to be distributed; fourth, to the Certificateholders as a recovery
of principal on the Mortgage Loan (or REO Property); fifth, to all Subservicing Fees payable
therefrom (and the Subservicer shall have no claims for any deficiencies with respect to such fees
which result from the foregoing allocation); and sixth, to Foreclosure Profits.
(e) In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligors is not a United
States Person, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of foreclosure
(together, “foreclosure”) in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause
compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor
thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds
of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to
be remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.15. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Custodial Files.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or upon the receipt by
the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary
for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee (if it holds the related
Custodial File) or the Custodian by a certification of a Servicing Officer (which certification
shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection
with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account pursuant to Section
3.07 have been or will be so deposited), substantially in one of the forms attached hereto as
Exhibit F, or, in the case of the Custodian, an electronic request in a form acceptable to the
Custodian, requesting delivery to it of the Custodial File. Within two Business Days of receipt of
such certification and request, the Trustee shall release, or cause the Custodian to release, the
related Custodial File to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer is authorized to execute and
deliver to the Mortgagor the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or
satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage, together with the
Mortgage Note with, as appropriate, written evidence of cancellation thereon and to cause the
removal from the registration on the MERS® System of such Mortgage 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 Custodial
Account or the Certificate Account.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan,
the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, with a copy to the Trustee, a certificate of a
Servicing Officer substantially in one of the forms attached as Exhibit F hereto, or, in the case
of the Custodian, an electronic request in a form acceptable to the Custodian, requesting that
possession of all, or any document constituting part of, the Custodial File be
63
released to the Master Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release and that such
release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under
any Required Insurance Policy. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Trustee shall deliver, or cause
the Custodian to deliver, the Custodial File or any document therein to the Master Servicer. The
Master Servicer shall cause each Custodial File or any document therein so released to be returned
to the Trustee, or the Custodian as agent for the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master
Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or (ii) the
Custodial File or such document has been delivered directly or through a Subservicer 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 Master Servicer has delivered directly or
through a Subservicer to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name
and address of the Person to which such Custodial File or such document was delivered and the
purpose or purposes of such delivery. In the event of the liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, the
Trustee shall deliver the Request for Release with respect thereto to the Master Servicer upon
deposit of the related Liquidation Proceeds in the Custodial Account.
(c) The Trustee or the Master Servicer on the Trustee’s behalf shall execute and deliver to
the Master Servicer, if necessary, any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other
documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to
any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Together with such documents
or pleadings (if signed by the Trustee), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a
certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the
Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the
execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate any insurance coverage under any
Required Insurance Policy or 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 3.16. Servicing and Other Compensation; Compensating Interest.
(a) The Master Servicer, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to
receive on each Distribution Date the amounts provided for by clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of
Section 3.10(a), subject to clause (e) below. The amount of servicing compensation provided for in
such clauses shall be accounted for on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis. In the event that
Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and REO Proceeds (net of amounts reimbursable therefrom
pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(ii)) in respect of a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition exceed the
unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan plus unpaid interest accrued thereon (including REO
Imputed Interest) at a per annum rate equal to the related Net Mortgage Rate (or the Modified Net
Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
retain therefrom and to pay to itself and/or the related Subservicer, any Foreclosure Profits and
any Subservicing Fee considered to be accrued but unpaid.
64
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of prepayment charges, assumption fees, late
payment charges, investment income on amounts in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account
or otherwise shall be retained by the Master Servicer or the Subservicer to the extent provided
herein, subject to clause (e) below.
(c) The Master Servicer shall be required to pay, or cause to be paid, all expenses incurred
by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of premiums for the
Primary Insurance Policies, if any, to the extent such premiums are not required to be paid by the
related Mortgagors, and the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any co-trustee (as provided in
Section 8.05) and the fees and expense of the Custodian) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided in Sections 3.10 and 3.14.
(d) [Reserved.]
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the amount of servicing compensation that the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive for its activities hereunder for the period ending on
each Distribution Date shall be reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to Compensating
Interest (if any) for such Distribution Date. Such reduction shall be applied during such period
to any income or gain realized from any investment of funds held in the Custodial Account or the
Certificate Account to which the Master Servicer is entitled pursuant to Sections 3.07(c) or
4.01(b), respectively. In making such reduction, the Master Servicer will not withdraw from the
Custodial Account or Certificate Account any such amount to which it is entitled pursuant to
Section 3.07(c) or 4.01(b).
Section 3.17. Reports to the Trustee and the Company.
Not later than fifteen days after it receives a written request from the Trustee or the
Company, the Master Servicer shall forward to the Trustee and the Company a statement, certified by
a Servicing Officer, setting forth the status of the Custodial Account as of the close of business
on the immediately preceding Distribution Date as it relates to the Mortgage Loans and showing, for
the period covered by such statement, the aggregate of deposits in or withdrawals from the
Custodial Account in respect of the Mortgage Loans for each category of deposit specified in
Section 3.07 and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.10.
Section 3.18. Annual Statement as to Compliance and Servicing Assessment.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Company and the Trustee on or before the earlier of
(a) March 31 of each year or (b) with respect to any calendar year during which the Company’s
annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission, the date on which the annual report on Form 10-K is
required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission, (i) a servicing assessment as described in Section 4.03(f)(ii) and (ii) a servicer
compliance statement, signed by an authorized officer of the Master Servicer, as described in Items
1122(a), 1122(b) and 1123 of Regulation AB, to the effect that:
(A) A review of the Master Servicer’s activities during the reporting period and of its
performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision.
65
(B) To the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout the
reporting period or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material
respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.
The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from all other parties
participating in the servicing function any additional certifications required under Item 1122 and
Item 1123 of Regulation AB to the extent required to be included in a Report on Form 10-K;
provided, however, that a failure to obtain such certifications shall not be a breach of the Master
Servicer’s duties hereunder if any such party fails to deliver such a certification.
Section 3.19. Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report.
On or before the earlier of (a) March 31 of each year or (b) with respect to any calendar year
during which the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, the date on which the annual
report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission, the Master Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of independent
public accountants, which shall be members of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, to furnish to the Company and the Trustee the attestation required under Item 1122(b)
of Regulation AB. In rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to the
direct servicing of mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations
conducted by independent public accountants substantially in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (rendered within one year of such
statement) with respect to such Subservicers.
Section 3.20. Rights of the Company in Respect of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford the Company, upon reasonable notice, during normal business
hours access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer in respect of its rights and
obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer responsible for such
obligations. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish the Company with its most recent
financial statements and such other information as the Master Servicer possesses regarding its
business, affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise. The Master Servicer shall also
cooperate with all reasonable requests for information including, but not limited to, notices,
tapes and copies of files, regarding itself, the Mortgage Loans or the Certificates from any Person
or Persons identified by the Company or [_______________]. The Company may, but is not obligated
to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to,
perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer hereunder
or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master Servicer shall
not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Company or
its designee. The Company shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure
to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
66
Section 3.21. Administration of Buydown Funds
(a) With respect to any Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer has deposited Buydown Funds in
an account that satisfies the requirements for a Subservicing Account (the “Buydown Account”). The
Master Servicer shall cause the Subservicing Agreement to require that upon receipt from the
Mortgagor of the amount due on a Due Date for each Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer will
withdraw from the Buydown Account the predetermined amount that, when added to the amount due on
such date from the Mortgagor, equals the full Monthly Payment and transmit that amount in
accordance with the terms of the Subservicing Agreement to the Master Servicer together with the
related payment made by the Mortgagor or advanced by the Subservicer.
(b) If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such loan in its entirety during the
period (the “Buydown Period”) when Buydown Funds are required to be applied to such Buydown
Mortgage Loan, the Subservicer shall be required to withdraw from the Buydown Account and remit any
Buydown Funds remaining in the Buydown Account in accordance with the related buydown agreement.
The amount of Buydown Funds which may be remitted in accordance with the related buydown agreement
may reduce the amount required to be paid by the Mortgagor to fully prepay the related Mortgage
Loan. If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such Mortgage Loan during the
Buydown Period and the property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan is sold in the liquidation
thereof (either by the Master Servicer or the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy),
the Subservicer shall be required to withdraw from the Buydown Account the Buydown Funds for such
Buydown Mortgage Loan still held in the Buydown Account and remit the same to the Master Servicer
in accordance with the terms of the Subservicing Agreement for deposit in the Custodial Account or,
if instructed by the Master Servicer, pay to the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy
if the Mortgaged Property is transferred to such insurer and such insurer pays all of the loss
incurred in respect of such default. Any amount so remitted pursuant to the preceding sentence
will be deemed to reduce the amount owed on the Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.22. Advance Facility
(a) The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any
such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”) under which (1) the Master Servicer sells, assigns or
pledges to another Person (an “Advancing Person”) the Master Servicer’s rights under this Agreement
to be reimbursed for any Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing Person agrees to
fund some or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer
pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificateholders or
any other party shall be required before the Master Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility.
Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advancing Person agrees to
fund Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Master Servicer’s behalf, the Master Servicer shall
remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and
as required by this Agreement. If the Master Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, and for so
long as an Advancing Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advances including
Nonrecoverable Advances (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”) and/or Servicing Advances including
Nonrecoverable Advances (“Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts” and together with Advance
67
Reimbursement Amounts, “Reimbursement Amounts”) (in each case to the extent such type of
Reimbursement Amount is included in the Advance Facility), as applicable, pursuant to this
Agreement, then the Master Servicer shall identify such Reimbursement Amounts consistent with the
reimbursement rights set forth in Section 3.10(a)(ii) and (vii) and remit such Reimbursement
Amounts in accordance with this Section 3.22 or otherwise in accordance with the documentation
establishing the Advance Facility to such Advancing Person or to a trustee, agent or custodian (an
“Advance Facility Trustee”) designated by such Advancing Person in an Advance Facility Notice
described below in Section 3.22(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if so required pursuant to the
terms of the Advance Facility, the Master Servicer may direct, and if so directed in writing the
Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall pay to the Advance Facility Trustee the Reimbursement
Amounts identified pursuant to the preceding sentence. An Advancing Person whose obligations
hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to
meet the qualifications of a Master Servicer or a Subservicer pursuant to Section 3.02(a) or
6.02(c) hereof and shall not be deemed to be a Subservicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Advance Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing
Advance Reimbursement Amounts be included in the Available Distribution Amount or distributed to
Certificateholders.
(b) If the Master Servicer enters into an Advance Facility and makes the election set forth in
Section 3.22(a), the Master Servicer and the related Advancing Person shall deliver to the
Certificate Insurer and the Trustee a written notice and payment instruction (an “Advance Facility
Notice”), providing the Trustee with written payment instructions as to where to remit Advance
Reimbursement Amounts and/or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts (each to the extent such type
of Reimbursement Amount is included within the Advance Facility) on subsequent Distribution Dates.
The payment instruction shall require the applicable Reimbursement Amounts to be distributed to the
Advancing Person or to an Advance Facility Trustee designated in the Advance Facility Notice. An
Advance Facility Notice may only be terminated by the joint written direction of the Master
Servicer and the related Advancing Person (and any related Advance Facility Trustee). The Master
Servicer shall provide the Certificate Insurer, if any, with notice of any termination of any
Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.22(b).
(c) Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or
Servicing Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the Master Servicer would be
permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with Section 3.10(a)(ii) and (vii) hereof, assuming the
Master Servicer or the Advancing Person had made the related Advance(s) and/or Servicing
Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable
Advances as set forth in Section 3.10(c) of this Agreement, no Person shall be entitled to
reimbursement from funds held in the Certificate Account for future distribution to
Certificateholders pursuant to this Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any
duty or liability with respect to the calculation of any Reimbursement Amount, nor shall the
Company or the Trustee have any responsibility to track or monitor the administration of the
Advance Facility or have any responsibility to track, monitor or verify the payment of
Reimbursement Amounts to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee. The Master
Servicer shall maintain and provide to any Successor Master Servicer a detailed accounting on a
loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, sold, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any
Advancing Person. The Successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to
68
rely on any such information provided by the Master Servicer and the Successor Master Servicer
shall not be liable for any errors in such information.
(d) Upon the direction of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, the Trustee agrees to
execute such acknowledgments, certificates and other documents reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee provided by the Master Servicer recognizing the interests of any Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee in such Reimbursement Amounts as the Master Servicer may cause to be made
subject to Advance Facilities pursuant to this Section 3.22.
(e) Reimbursement Amounts collected with respect to each Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to
outstanding unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to
that Mortgage Loan on a “first-in, first out” (“FIFO”) basis, subject to the qualifications set
forth below:
(i) Any successor Master Servicer to [_______________] (a “Successor Master Servicer”)
and the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee shall be required to apply all amounts
available in accordance with this Section 3.22(e) to the reimbursement of Advances and
Servicing Advances in the manner provided for herein; provided, however, that after the
succession of a Successor Master Servicer, (A) to the extent that any Advances or Servicing
Advances with respect to any particular Mortgage Loan are reimbursed from payments or
recoveries, if any, from the related Mortgagor, and Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance
Proceeds, if any, with respect to that Mortgage Loan, reimbursement shall be made, first, to
the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee in respect of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances related to that Mortgage Loan to the extent of the interest of the Advancing Person
or Advance Facility Trustee in such Advances and/or Servicing Advances, second to the Master
Servicer in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances related to that Mortgage Loan in
excess of those in which the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee Person has an
interest, and third, to the Successor Master Servicer in respect of any other Advances
and/or Servicing Advances related to that Mortgage Loan, from such sources as and when
collected, and (B) reimbursements of Advances and Servicing Advances that are Nonrecoverable
Advances shall be made pro rata to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, on the
one hand, and any such Successor Master Servicer, on the other hand, on the basis of the
respective aggregate outstanding unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances that are
Nonrecoverable Advances owed to the Advancing Person, Advance Facility Trustee or Master
Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, on the one hand, and any such Successor Master
Servicer, on the other hand, and without regard to the date on which any such Advances or
Servicing Advances shall have been made. In the event that, as a result of the FIFO
allocation made pursuant to this Section 3.22(e), some or all of a Reimbursement Amount paid
to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee relates to Advances or Servicing
Advances that were made by a Person other than [_______________] or the Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee, then the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee shall be
required to remit any portion of such Reimbursement Amount to the Person entitled to such
portion of such Reimbursement Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
[_______________] shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advancing Person or Advance
Facility Trustee for all Advances and Servicing Advances funded by
69
[_______________] to the extent the related Reimbursement Amount(s) have not been
assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee. The documentation
establishing any Advance Facility shall require [_______________] to provide to the related
Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee loan by loan information with respect to each
Reimbursement Amount distributed to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee on
each date of remittance thereof to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, to
enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee to make the FIFO allocation of each
Reimbursement Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan.
(ii) By way of illustration, and not by way of limiting the generality of the
foregoing, if the Master Servicer resigns or is terminated at a time when the Master
Servicer is a party to an Advance Facility, and is replaced by a Successor Master Servicer,
and the Successor Master Servicer directly funds Advances or Servicing Advances with respect
to a Mortgage Loan and does not assign or pledge the related Reimbursement Amounts to the
related Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, then all payments and recoveries
received from the related Mortgagor or received in the form of Liquidation Proceeds with
respect to such Mortgage Loan (including Insurance Proceeds collected in connection with a
liquidation of such Mortgage Loan) will be allocated first to the Advancing Person or
Advance Facility Trustee until the related Reimbursement Amounts attributable to such
Mortgage Loan that are owed to the Master Servicer and the Advancing Person, which were made
prior to any Advances or Servicing Advances made by the Successor Master Servicer, have been
reimbursed in full, at which point the Successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain
all related Reimbursement Amounts subsequently collected with respect to that Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 3.10 of this Agreement. To the extent that the Advances or Servicing
Advances are Nonrecoverable Advances to be reimbursed on an aggregate basis pursuant to
Section 3.10 of this Agreement, the reimbursement paid in this manner will be made pro rata
to the Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee, on the one hand, and the Successor
Master Servicer, on the other hand, as described in clause (i)(B) above.
(f) The Master Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances and Servicing
Advances funded by the Master Servicer to the extent the related rights to be reimbursed therefor
have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing Person.
(g) Any amendment to this Section 3.22 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 3.22, including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Master Servicer, may
be entered into by the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, Company and the Master Servicer without
the consent of any Certificateholder, with written confirmation from each Rating Agency that the
amendment will not result in the reduction of the ratings on any class of the Certificates below
the lesser of the then current or original ratings on such Certificates, and an Opinion of Counsel
as required by Section 11.01(c), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.01 of or
elsewhere in this Agreement.
(h) Any rights of set-off that the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Company, any Successor Master
Servicer or any other Person might otherwise have against the Master Servicer
70
under this Agreement shall not attach to any rights to be reimbursed for Advances or Servicing
Advances that have been sold, transferred, pledged, conveyed or assigned to any Advancing Person.
(i) At any time when an Advancing Person shall have ceased funding Advances and/or Servicing
Advances (as the case may be) and the Advancing Person or related Advance Facility Trustee shall
have received Reimbursement Amounts sufficient in the aggregate to reimburse all Advances and/or
Servicing Advances (as the case may be) the right to reimbursement for which were assigned to the
Advancing Person, then upon the delivery of a written notice signed by the Advancing Person and the
Master Servicer or its successor or assign) to the Trustee terminating the Advance Facility Notice
(the “Notice of Facility Termination”), the Master Servicer or its Successor Master Servicer shall
again be entitled to withdraw and retain the related Reimbursement Amounts from the Custodial
Account pursuant to Section 3.10.
(j) After delivery of any Advance Facility Notice, and until any such Advance Facility Notice
has been terminated by a Notice of Facility Termination, this Section 3.22 may not be amended or
otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the related Advancing Person.

Certificateholders regarding any such modification. In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide
to any manager of a trust fund consisting of some or all of the Certificates, upon reasonable

Certificateholders at the request of the Company or the Master Servicer, and (IV) notice of any
failure of the Trustee to make any distribution to the Certificateholders as required pursuant to
the Series Supplement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability with
respect to the Master Servicer’s failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to the Master Servicer’s inability or failure to obtain any information
not resulting from the Master Servicer’s own negligence or willful misconduct.
(f) Any Form 10-K filed with the Commission in connection with this Section 4.03 shall
include, with respect to the Certificates relating to such 10-K:
(i) A certification, signed by the senior officer in charge of the servicing functions

(a) Prior to the close of business on the Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall
furnish a written statement to the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Company (the information in
such statement to be made available to any Certificate Insurer and Certificateholders by the Master
Servicer on request) setting forth (i) the Available Distribution Amount and (ii) the amounts
required to be withdrawn from the Custodial Account and deposited into the Certificate Account on
the immediately succeeding Certificate Account Deposit Date pursuant to clause (iii) of Section
4.01(a). The determination by the Master Servicer of such amounts shall, in the absence of obvious
error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder and the Trustee shall be
protected in relying upon the same without any independent check or verification.
(b) On or before 2:00 P.M.
New York time on each Certificate Account Deposit Date, the Master
Servicer shall either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account from its own funds, or funds received
therefor from the Subservicers, an amount equal to the P&I Advances to be made by the Master
Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, which shall be in an aggregate amount equal
to the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof
74
adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate), less the amount of any related Servicing Modifications,
Debt Service Reductions or reductions in the amount of interest collectable from the Mortgagor

withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and deposit in the Certificate Account
all or a portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution in discharge of any such P&I Advance,

amount of such P&I Advance; provided that no such P&I Advance shall be made if it would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, further, that no P&I Advance shall be made with respect to any
Mortgage Loan that is 90 or more days Delinquent. Any portion of the Amount Held for Future
Distribution so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account
on or before 11:00 A.M.
New York time on any future Certificate Account Deposit Date to the extent
that funds attributable to the Mortgage Loans that are available in the Custodial Account for
deposit in the Certificate Account on such Certificate Account Deposit Date shall be less than
payments to Certificateholders required to be made on the following Distribution Date. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to use any Subservicer Advance made by a Subservicer as described in
Section 3.07(b) that has been deposited in the Custodial Account on or before such Distribution
Date as part of the Advance made by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.04. The amount
of any reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02(a) in respect of outstanding P&I Advances on any
Distribution Date shall be allocated to specific Monthly Payments due but delinquent for previous
Due Periods, which allocation shall be made, to the extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which
have been delinquent for the longest period of time. Such allocations shall be conclusive for
purposes of reimbursement to the Master Servicer from recoveries on related Mortgage Loans pursuant
to Section 3.10.
If the Master Servicer determines as of the Business Day preceding any Certificate Account
Deposit Date that it will be unable to deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the

have been notified in writing (by telecopy) that the Master Servicer shall have directly or
indirectly deposited in the Certificate Account such portion of the amount of the P&I Advance as to
which the Master Servicer shall have given notice pursuant to the preceding sentence, pursuant to
Section 7.01, (a) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) assume the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal
to the Advance for the immediately succeeding Distribution Date.

Certificate Account.

abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the information returns relating to cancellation of

6050P, respectively, of the Code, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate on or before
March 31 of each year stating that such reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in form and
substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P
of the Code.
Section 4.07. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more, the
Master Servicer may, at its option, purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Purchase
Price therefor; provided, that such Mortgage Loan that becomes 90 days or more delinquent during
any given Calendar Quarter shall only be eligible for purchase pursuant to this Section during the
period beginning on the first Business Day of the following Calendar Quarter, and ending at the
close of business on the second-to-last Business Day of such following Calendar Quarter; and
provided, further, that such Mortgage Loan is 90 days or more delinquent at the time of repurchase.
Such option if not exercised shall not thereafter be reinstated as to any Mortgage Loan, unless
the delinquency is cured and the Mortgage Loan thereafter again becomes delinquent in payment by 90
days or more in a subsequent Calendar Quarter.
(b) If at any time the Master Servicer makes a payment to the Certificate Account covering the
amount of the Purchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan as provided in clause (a) above, and the
Master Servicer provides to the Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that
the amount of such payment has been deposited in the Certificate Account, then the Trustee shall
execute the assignment of such Mortgage Loan at the request of the Master Servicer, without
recourse, to the Master Servicer, which shall succeed to all the Trustee’s right, title and
interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative thereto. Such
assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security. The Master Servicer will
thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such security and documents, free of any further obligation to
the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.
If, however, the Master Servicer shall have exercised its right to repurchase a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this Section 4.07 upon the written request of and with funds provided by the Junior
Certificateholder and thereupon transferred such Mortgage Loan to the Junior Certificateholder, the
Master Servicer shall so notify the Trustee in writing.
Section 4.08. Surety Bond.
(a) If a Required Surety Payment is payable pursuant to the Surety Bond with respect to any
Additional Collateral Loan, the Master Servicer shall so notify the Trustee as soon as
76
reasonably practicable and the Trustee shall promptly complete the notice in the form of
Attachment 1 to the Surety Bond and shall promptly submit such notice to the Surety as a claim for
a Required Surety. The Master Servicer shall upon request assist the Trustee in completing such
notice and shall provide any information requested by the Trustee in connection therewith.
(b) Upon receipt of a Required Surety Payment from the Surety on behalf of the Holders of
Certificates, the Trustee shall deposit such Required Surety Payment in the Certificate Account and
shall distribute such Required Surety Payment, or the proceeds thereof, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.02.
(c) The Trustee shall (i) receive as attorney-in-fact of each Holder of a Certificate any
Required Surety Payment from the Surety and (ii) disburse the same to the Holders of such
Certificates as set forth in Section 4.02.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Senior, Class X, Class M, Class B, Class P, Class SB and Class R Certificates shall be
substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibits A, A-I, B, C, C-I, C-II and D, respectively, or
such other form or forms as shall be set forth in the Series Supplement, and shall, on original
issue, be executed and delivered by the Trustee to the Certificate Registrar for authentication and
delivery to or upon the order of the Company upon receipt by the Trustee or the Custodian of the
documents specified in Section 2.01. The Certificates shall be issuable in the minimum
denominations designated in the Preliminary Statement to the Series Supplement.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of an authorized
officer of the Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that
such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose,
unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form
provided for herein executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate
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.
(b) Except as provided below, registration of Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred
by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the
respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Holders of the Book-Entry
Certificates shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to each of such Certificates
through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be
entitled to Definitive Certificates in respect of such Ownership Interests. All
77
transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant
shall transfer the Ownership Interests only in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s
normal procedures.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Company may for all purposes (including the making of
payments due on the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the
authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes of
Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder.
The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates
shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple
requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of any Class of Book-Entry
Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are
made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record
date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall
give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Company advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing
or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Company is unable to
locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Company notifies the Depository and the Trustee of its
intent to terminate the book-entry system and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from the
Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Certificates
agree to such termination through the Depository, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners,
through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the
Depository for registration of transfer, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the
Definitive Certificates. In addition, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each
Certificate Owner materially adversely affected thereby may at its option request a Definitive
Certificate evidencing such Certificate Owner’s Percentage Interest in the related Class of
Certificates. In order to make such a request, such Certificate Owner shall, subject to the rules
and procedures of the Depository, provide the Depository or the related Depository Participant with
directions for the Certificate Registrar to exchange or cause the exchange of the Certificate
Owner’s interest in such Class of Certificates for an equivalent Percentage Interest in fully
registered definitive form. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar of instructions from the
Depository directing the Certificate Registrar to effect such exchange (such instructions shall
contain information regarding the Class of Certificates and the Certificate Principal Balance being
exchanged, the Depository Participant account to be debited with the decrease, the registered
holder of and delivery instructions for the Definitive Certificate, and any other information
reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar), (i) the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the
Depository to reduce the related Depository Participant’s account by the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the Definitive Certificate, (ii) the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in accordance with the registration
78
and delivery instructions provided by the Depository, a Definitive Certificate evidencing such
Certificate Owner’s Percentage Interest in such Class of Certificates and (iii) the Trustee shall
execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate a new Book-Entry Certificate reflecting
the reduction in the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates by the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Definitive Certificate.
None of the Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any actions taken
by the Depository or its nominee, including, without limitation, any delay in delivery of any
instructions required under Section 5.01 and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee and the
Master Servicer shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.
(c) If the Class A-V Certificates are Definitive Certificates, from time to time
[_______________], as the initial Holder of the Class A-V Certificates, may exchange such Holder’s
Class A-V Certificates for Subclasses of Class A-V Certificates to be issued under this Agreement
by delivering a “Request for Exchange” substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit N executed by an authorized officer, which Subclasses, in the aggregate, will represent the
Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests Z corresponding to the Class A-V Certificates so surrendered
for exchange. Any Subclass so issued shall bear a numerical designation commencing with Class
A-V-1 and continuing sequentially thereafter, and will evidence ownership of the Uncertificated
REMIC Regular Interest or Interests specified in writing by such initial Holder to the Trustee. The
Trustee may conclusively, without any independent verification, rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, [_______________]’s determinations of the Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests Z
corresponding to any Subclass, the Initial Notional Amount and the initial Pass-Through Rate on a
Subclass as set forth in such Request for Exchange and the Trustee shall have no duty to determine
if any Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest Z designated on a Request for Exchange corresponds to
a Subclass which has previously been issued. Each Subclass so issued shall be substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit A and shall, on original issue, be executed and delivered by the Trustee
to the Certificate Registrar for authentication and delivery in accordance with Section 5.01(a).
Every Certificate presented or surrendered for exchange by the initial Holder shall (if so required
by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer attached to such Certificate and shall be completed to the satisfaction of
the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the initial Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing. The Certificates of any Subclass of Class A-V Certificates
may be transferred in whole, but not in part, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02.
Section 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be appointed by
the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.12 a Certificate Register in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the
registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
The Trustee is initially appointed Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering
Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Certificate
Registrar, or the
79
Trustee, shall provide the Master Servicer with a certified list of Certificateholders as of
each Record Date prior to the related Determination Date.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of
the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12 and, in the case of any Class M,
Class B, Class P or Class R Certificate, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the
Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of a like Class (or
Subclass) and aggregate Percentage Interest.
(c) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class (or Subclass) and aggregate Percentage
Interest, 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 and the
Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates of such Class which the
Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or
surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(d) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Class B Certificate, Class P
Certificate or privately offered Class R Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale,
pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act
and laws. In the event that a transfer of a Class B Certificate, Class P Certificate or privately
offered Class R Certificate is to be made either (i)(A) the Trustee shall require a written Opinion
of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company that
such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the
basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer
(except that, if such transfer is made by the Company or the Master Servicer or any Affiliate
thereof, the Company or the Master Servicer shall provide such Opinion of Counsel at their own
expense); provided that such Opinion of Counsel will not be required in connection with the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Company or any Affiliate thereof to the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company and (B) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute a
representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, and the Trustee shall require
the transferor to execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto,
each acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee certifying
to the Company and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters
shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer; provided,
however, that such representation letters will not be required in connection with any transfer
of any such Certificate by the Company or any Affiliate thereof to the Company or an Affiliate of
the Company, 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 Company, of the status
of such transferee as an Affiliate of the Company or (ii) the prospective transferee of such a
Certificate shall be required to provide the Trustee, the Company and the
80
Master Servicer with an investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached
hereto (or such other form as the Company in its sole discretion deems acceptable), which
investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer, and
which investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee (A) is a “qualified
institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own account or the accounts of
other “qualified institutional buyers” as defined under Rule 144A, and (B) is aware that the
proposed transferor intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Rule 144A. The Holder of any such Certificate
desiring to effect any such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar
against any liability that may result if the transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is not so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

(e) |
|
(i) In the case of any Class B, Class P or Class R Certificate presented for
registration in the name of any Person, either (A) the Trustee shall require an Opinion
of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer, acceptable to
and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase
or holding of such Class B, Class P or Class R Certificate is permissible under
applicable law, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction
under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent
enactments), and will not subject the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer 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 Trustee, the Company or the Master
Servicer or (B) the prospective Transferee shall be required to provide the Trustee,
the Company and the Master Servicer with a certification to the effect set forth in
paragraph six of Exhibit H (with respect to any Class B Certificate) or paragraph
fifteen of Exhibit G-1 (with respect to any Class P Certificate or Class R
Certificate), which the Trustee may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation,
or such other certifications as the Trustee may deem desirable or necessary in order to
establish that such Transferee or the Person in whose name such registration is
requested either (a) is not an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any Person
(including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan) who
is using “plan assets” of any such plan to effect such acquisition (each, a “Plan
Investor”) or (b) in the case of any Class B Certificate, 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 U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and (iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of
PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied (each entity that satisfies this clause (b), a
“Complying Insurance Company”). |
|
|
|
(ii) Any Transferee of a Class M Certificate will be deemed to have |
81
|
|
|
represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest
therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan Investor, (b) it has acquired
and is holding such Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption
(“PTE”) 94-29, as most recently amended, PTE 2007-05, 72 Fed. Reg. 13130 (March 20,
2007) (the “Issuer Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain
conditions to the availability of the Issuer Exemption including that such
Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its
equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, Moody’s, DBRS Limited, or DBRS, Inc. or (c)
such Transferee is a Complying Insurance Company. |
|
|
|
(iii) (A) If any Class M Certificate (or any interest therein) is acquired or held
by any Person that does not satisfy the conditions described in paragraph (ii)
above, then the last preceding Transferee that either (i) is not a Plan Investor,
(ii) acquired such Certificate in compliance with the Issuer Exemption, or (iii) is
a Complying Insurance Company shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to
all rights and obligations as Certificate Owner thereof retroactive to the date of
such Transfer of such Class M Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability
to any Person for making any payments due on such Certificate to such preceding
Transferee. |
|
|
|
(B) Any purported Certificate Owner whose acquisition or holding of any Class M
Certificate (or interest therein) was effected in violation of the restrictions in
this Section 5.02(e) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer, any Subservicer, the Underwriters and the Trust Fund from and
against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties
as a result of such acquisition or holding. |
(f) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be
bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its designee
under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate
the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of
transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the
following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of
any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and shall not
register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until its receipt of, (I) an
affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement,” in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit G-1) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Master Servicer, representing and warranting, among other
things, that it is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership
82
Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed
Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has
reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(f) and agrees to be bound by them, and
(II) a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, from the Holder
wishing to transfer the Class R Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Master Servicer, representing and warranting, among other things, that no
purpose of the proposed Transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a
proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
who is assigned to this Agreement has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee
is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any
other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it
provides a certificate to the Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give
the Trustee written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the
meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately
upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is, or is
holding an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf of, a “pass-through
interest holder.”
(ii) The Trustee shall register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate only if it
shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement, a certificate of the Holder
requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2 and all of such other
documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition to such
registration. Transfers of the Class R Certificates to Non-United States Persons and
Disqualified Organizations are prohibited.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a holder of a Class R
Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent
permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. If a Non-United States Person
shall become a holder of a Class R Certificate, then the last preceding United States Person
shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R
Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the
provisions
83
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and
obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of
such Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this
Section 5.02(f) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or
for taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate
in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(f) and to the extent that the
retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Class R Certificate as
described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then
the Master Servicer shall have the right, without notice to the holder or any prior
holder of such Class R Certificate, to sell such Class R Certificate to a purchaser
selected by the Master Servicer on such terms as the Master Servicer may choose.
Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Class R
Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Master Servicer. Such
purchaser may be the Master Servicer itself or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer.
The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions
payable to the Master Servicer or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any,
shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to such purported Transferee. The terms
and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the
sole discretion of the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall not be liable
to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of
its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall make available, upon written
request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a
result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who
is a Disqualified Organization, including the information regarding “excess inclusions” of
such Class R Certificates required to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and
certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate
investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in
Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as
among its record holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified Organization.
Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be required by the Master
Servicer from such Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(f) set forth prior to this clause (v) may be
modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the
Trustee the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that the
modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such
84
Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings, if any, of any Class of
the Senior (in the case of the Insured Certificates (as defined in the Series
Supplement), such determination shall be made without giving effect to the
Certificate Policy (as defined in the Series Supplement)), Class M or Class B
Certificates below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to
such Certificates as of the Closing Date by such Rating Agency; and
(B) subject to Section 10.01(f), an Officers’ Certificate of the Master
Servicer stating that the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer, to the effect that such
modification, addition to or absence of such provisions will not cause any portion
of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to cease to qualify as a REMIC and
will not cause (x) any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to be
subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Class R Certificate to
a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or (y) a Certificateholder or another
Person to be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
(g) No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates of any Class,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be destroyed by the
Certificate Registrar.
Section 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee
and the Certificate Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee 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 and the Certificate Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor, Class and Percentage Interest but bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
85
Section 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate Insurer, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of
the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate Insurer or the Certificate Registrar
may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate
for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 and for all other purposes
whatsoever, except as and to the extent provided in the definition of “Certificateholder,” and
neither the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate Insurer, the Certificate
Registrar nor any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, any Certificate Insurer
or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary except as provided in
Section 5.02(f).
Section 5.05. Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions to the
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.02. In the event of any such appointment, on or prior to
each Distribution Date the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee shall deposit or cause to be
deposited with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to make the payments to the Certificateholders in
the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 4.02, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Trustee shall cause each Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument
in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums
held by it for the payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be distributed to such
Certificateholders. Any sums so held by such Paying Agent shall be held only in Eligible Accounts
to the extent such sums are not distributed to the Certificateholders on the date of receipt by
such Paying Agent.
Section 5.06. U.S.A. Patriot Act Compliance.
In order for it to comply with its duties under the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee may obtain
and verify certain information from the other parties hereto, including but not limited to such
parties’ name, address and other identifying information.

ARTICLE VI
THE COMPANY AND THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Company and the Master Servicer.
The Company and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the
extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by the Company
and the Master Servicer herein. By way of illustration and not limitation, the Company is not
liable for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, nor is it obligated by Section
7.01 or Section 10.01 to assume any obligations of the Master Servicer or to appoint a designee to
assume such obligations, nor is it liable for any other obligation hereunder that it may, but is
not obligated to, assume unless it elects to assume such obligation in accordance herewith.
|
Section 6.02. |
|
Merger or Consolidation of the Company or the Master Servicer; Assignment of Rights and Delegation of Duties by Master Servicer. |
(a) The Company and the Master Servicer shall each keep in full effect its existence, rights
and franchises as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of its formation and as a
[corporation][limited liability company] under the laws of the state of its
[organization][formation], respectively, and shall each obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign limited liability or other Person in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this
Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under
this Agreement.
(b) Any Person into which the Company or the Master Servicer may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Company or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Company or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Company or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of
any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything in this Section
6.02(b) to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or
surviving Person to the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that the Master Servicer (or the Company, as
applicable) shall notify each Rating Agency (in accordance with Section 11.11) and the Trustee in
writing of any such merger, conversion or consolidation at least 30 days prior to the effective
date of such event.
(c) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 6.02 and Section 6.04 to the contrary, the
Master Servicer may assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement;
provided that the Person accepting such assignment or delegation shall be a Person which is
qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, is reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and executes
and delivers to the Company and the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such
87
Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be
performed or observed by the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided further that each
Rating Agency’s rating of the Classes of Certificates (in the case of the Insured Certificates (as
defined in the Series Supplement), such determination shall be made without giving effect to the
Certificate Policy (as defined in the Series Supplement)) that have been rated in effect
immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as
a result of such assignment and delegation (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from each
Rating Agency). In the case of any such assignment and delegation, the Master Servicer shall be
released from its obligations under this Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall remain
liable for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it as Master Servicer hereunder prior to the
satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment and delegation set forth in the next preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a pledge or assignment by the Master
Servicer solely of its rights to purchase all assets of the Trust Fund under Section 9.01(a) (or,
if so specified in Section 9.01(a), its rights to purchase the Mortgage Loans and property acquired
related to such Mortgage Loans or its rights to purchase the Certificates related thereto), the
provisos of the first sentence of this paragraph will not apply.
Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Company, the Master Servicer and Others.
Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or
agents of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good
faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however,
that this provision shall not protect the Company, the Master Servicer or any such Person against
any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of
duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Company, the
Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer
may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Company, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by
the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with
any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or
expense 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 willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal or administrative action, proceeding, hearing or examination that is
not incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve
it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Company or the Master
Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action, proceeding, hearing or examination that
it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs
88
of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom shall
be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Company and the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit
in the Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 and, on the Distribution Date(s) following
such reimbursement, the aggregate of such expenses and costs shall be allocated in reduction of the
Accrued Certificate Interest on each Class entitled thereto in the same manner as if such expenses
and costs constituted a Prepayment Interest Shortfall.
Section 6.04. Company and Master Servicer Not to Resign.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall
resign from its respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination
that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination
permitting the resignation of the Company or the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation by the Master Servicer
shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the Master
Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations in accordance with Section 7.02.

Section 7.01. Events of Default.
Event of Default, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever reason
for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by
operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or
regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Company or to the Master
Servicer, the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of such Class
evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%; or
(ii) the Master Servicer shall fail to observe or perform in any material respect any
other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in the
Certificates of any Class or in this Agreement and such failure shall continue unremedied
for a period of 30 days (except that such number of days shall be 15 in the case of a
failure to pay the premium for any Required Insurance Policy) after the date on which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to
the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Company, or to the Master Servicer, the Company
and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of any Class evidencing, in the case of any
such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been
entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver
or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities, or similar proceedings of, or relating to, the Master Servicer or of, or
relating to, all or substantially all of the property of the Master Servicer; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally
as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of, or commence a
90
voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its
obligations; or
(vi) the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.04(b) that it
is unable to deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the required P&I Advance
for the applicable Distribution Date.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i)-(v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in
each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, either the
Company or the Trustee may, and at the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
51% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to
the Company if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Company), terminate all of
the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage
Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. If an
Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice to the
Master Servicer and the Company, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof,
other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder as provided in Section 4.04(b). On or after
the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder
thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall subject to Section 7.02 pass to and be vested in
the Trustee or the Trustee’s designee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02; and, without limitation,
the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master
Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do
or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the
Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights
hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee or its designee for
administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the Custodial
Account or the Certificate Account or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
No such termination shall release the Master Servicer for any liability that it would otherwise
have hereunder for any act or omission prior to the effective time of such termination.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of [_______________] in its capacity as
Master Servicer hereunder, [_______________] shall be entitled to receive, out of any late
collection of a Monthly Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating
[_______________]’s rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such
notice, that portion to which [_______________] would have been entitled pursuant to Sections
3.10(a)(ii), (iv), (vi) and (vii) and Section 4.01(b), and any other amounts payable to
[_______________] hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its
activities hereunder. Upon the termination of [_______________] as Master Servicer hereunder the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of the Program Guide.
91
Section 7.02. Trustee or Company to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.01 or resigns in accordance with Section 6.04, the Trustee or, upon notice to the Company
and with the Company’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) a designee (which meets
the standards set forth below) of the Trustee, shall be the successor in all respects to the Master
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 Master Servicer (except for the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities contained in Sections 2.02 and 2.03(a), excluding the duty to notify related
Subservicers or Sellers as set forth in such Sections, and its obligations to deposit amounts in
respect of losses incurred prior to such notice or termination on the investment of funds in the
Custodial Account or the Certificate Account pursuant to Sections 3.07(c) and 4.01(b) by the terms
and provisions hereof); provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties
or responsibilities caused by the preceding Master Servicer’s failure to provide information
required by Section 4.04 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans
which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Custodial Account or the
Certificate Account if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder and, in addition, shall
be entitled to the income from any Permitted Investments made with amounts attributable to the
Mortgage Loans held in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account. If the Trustee has become
the successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 6.04 or Section 7.01, then
notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is
unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution, which is also a Xxxxxx Xxx- or Xxxxxxx
Mac-approved mortgage servicing institution, having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 as the
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall become successor to the Master
Servicer and shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the initial Master
Servicer hereunder. The Company, the Trustee, the Custodian and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
The Master Servicer shall pay the reasonable expenses of the Trustee in connection with any
servicing transition hereunder.
(b) In connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder,
either (i) the successor Master Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as
successor Master Servicer, 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 Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS
to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Master Servicer as
necessary under MERS’ rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Master Servicer shall
cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an
92
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 Master Servicer. The predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause
to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Master
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 subsection
(b). The successor Master Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee or
the Custodian promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy
certified by the public recording office in which such assignment was recorded.
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the
Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit by
mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the
Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
Section 7.04. Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights affected by a default or Event of
Default hereunder may waive such default or Event of Default; provided, however,
that (a) a default or Event of Default under clause (i) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all
of the Holders of Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default and (b) no waiver
pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall affect the Holders of Certificates in the manner set forth in
Section 11.01(b)(i) or (ii). Upon any such waiver of a default or Event of Default by the Holders
representing the requisite percentage of Voting Rights affected by such default or Event of
Default, such default or Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly
so waived.
93
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver
of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred
(which has not been cured or waived), 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 investor would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor’s
own affairs.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports,
documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee 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. The Trustee shall notify the
Certificateholders of any such documents which do not materially conform to the requirements of
this Agreement in the event that the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive satisfactorily
corrected documents.
The Trustee shall forward or cause to be forwarded in a timely fashion the notices, reports
and statements required to be forwarded by the Trustee pursuant to Sections 4.03, 4.06, 7.03 and
10.01. The Trustee shall furnish in a timely fashion to the Master Servicer such information as
the Master Servicer may reasonably request from time to time for the Master Servicer to fulfill its
duties as set forth in this Agreement. The Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall perform its
obligations hereunder in a manner so as to maintain the status of any portion of any REMIC formed
under the Series Supplement as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and (subject to Section 10.01(f))
to prevent the imposition of any federal, state or local income, prohibited transaction,
contribution or other tax on the Trust Fund to the extent that maintaining such status and avoiding
such taxes are reasonably within the control of the Trustee and are reasonably within the scope of
its duties under this Agreement.
(c) 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 willful misconduct;
provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of
all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the
Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall 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, 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
94
to the Trustee by the Company or the Master Servicer and which on their face, do not
contradict the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of 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
Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which evidence, as to such Class,
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust
or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default (other than a
default in payment to the Trustee) specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01 or an
Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of Section 7.01 unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual
knowledge of such failure or event or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure or
event at its Corporate Trust Office from the Master Servicer, the Company or any
Certificateholder; and
(v) Except to the extent provided in Section 7.02, no provision in this Agreement shall
require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds (including, without limitation, the
making of any Advance) or otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties as Trustee hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its
rights or powers, if the Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment
of funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it.
(d) The Trustee shall timely pay, from its own funds, the amount of any and all federal, state
and local taxes imposed on the Trust Fund or its assets or transactions including, without
limitation, (A) “prohibited transaction” penalty taxes as defined in Section 860F of the Code, if,
when and as the same shall be due and payable, (B) any tax on contributions to a REMIC after the
Closing Date imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code and (C) any tax on “net income from foreclosure
property” as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, but only if such taxes arise out of a breach
by the Trustee of its obligations hereunder, which breach constitutes negligence or willful
misconduct of the Trustee.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any related Custodial
Agreement, in no event shall the Trustee have any liability in respect of any actions or omissions
of the Custodian herein or pursuant to any related Custodial Agreement.
Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
95
(i) The Trustee may rely 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted
by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers
vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder
or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders,
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have
offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall,
however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
(which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent investor would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such
investor’s own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or
waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or document, unless directed in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 50% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that
if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms
of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or
liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination
shall be paid by the Master Servicer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, and otherwise by the Certificateholder requesting the investigation;
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any
duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys; and
(vii) To the extent authorized under the Code and the regulations promulgated
thereunder, each Holder of a Class R Certificate hereby irrevocably appoints and
96
authorizes the Trustee to be its attorney-in-fact for purposes of signing any Tax
Returns required to be filed on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall sign on behalf
of the Trust Fund and deliver to the Master Servicer in a timely manner any Tax Returns
prepared by or on behalf of the Master Servicer that the Trustee is required to sign as
determined by the Master Servicer pursuant to applicable federal, state or local tax laws,
provided that the Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for signing any such Tax
Returns that contain errors or omissions.
(b) Following the issuance of the Certificates, the Trustee shall not accept any contribution
of assets to the Trust Fund unless (subject to Section 10.01(f)) it shall have obtained or been
furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such contribution will not (i) cause any
portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to be subject to any federal tax
as a result of such contribution (including the imposition of any federal tax on “prohibited
transactions” imposed under Section 860F(a) of the Code).
Section 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the execution of the
Certificates and relating to the acceptance and receipt of the Mortgage Loans) shall be taken as
the statements of the Company or the Master Servicer as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (except that the Certificates shall be duly
and validly executed and authenticated by it as Certificate Registrar) or of any Mortgage Loan or
related document, or of MERS or the MERS® System. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company or the Master Servicer of any of
the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any
funds paid to the Company or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in
or withdrawn from the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account by the Company or the Master
Servicer.
Section 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
Section 8.05. Master Servicer to Pay Trustee’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee and any co-trustee from
time to time, and the Trustee and any co-trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation
(which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of
an express trust) for all services rendered by each of them in the execution of the trusts hereby
created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the
Trustee and any co-trustee, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the Trustee and any
co-trustee upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by
the Trustee or any co-trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of
97
this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of
its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ, and the expenses incurred by the
Trustee or any co-trustee in connection with the appointment of an office or agency pursuant to
Section 8.12) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or
bad faith.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold the Trustee harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on the
Trustee’s part, arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance and administration of the
Trust Fund, including the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of
defending itself against any claim in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its
powers or duties under this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, and the Master Servicer further
agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold the Trustee harmless against, any loss, liability
or expense arising out of, or in connection with, the provisions set forth in the second paragraph
of Section 2.01(c) hereof, including, without limitation, all costs, liabilities and expenses
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of investigating and defending itself against any
claim, action or proceeding, pending or threatened, relating to the provisions of this paragraph,
provided that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given the Master Servicer
written notice thereof promptly after the Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof;
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee shall cooperate and
consult fully with the Master Servicer in preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer
shall not be liable for settlement of any claim by the Trustee entered into without the
prior consent of the Master Servicer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations created by this Section 8.05(b) of
the Master Servicer to indemnify the Trustee under the conditions and to the extent set forth
herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification provided by the Master Servicer in this
Section 8.05(b) shall not be available (A) for any loss, liability or expense of the Trustee,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim, incurred in connection with
any actions taken by the Trustee at the direction of the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement or (B) where the Trustee is required to indemnify the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 12.05(a).
Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a national banking association
having its principal office in a state and city acceptable to the Company and organized and doing
business under the laws of such state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
98
$50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and having a
sufficient rating so as to maintain the then current ratings of the Certificates and the short-term

Rating Agency. If such corporation or national banking association publishes reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by
giving written notice thereof to the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Company 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 have accepted appointment within 30 days
after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
(b) 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 Company, or if at any
time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Company may remove the Trustee and 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. In addition, in the event that the
Company determines that the Trustee has failed (i) to distribute or cause to be distributed to the
Certificateholders any amount required to be distributed hereunder, if such amount is held by the
Trustee or its Paying Agent (other than the Master Servicer or the Company) for distribution or
(ii) to otherwise observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants, agreements or
obligations hereunder, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 5 days (in
respect of clause (i) above) or 30 days (in respect of clause (ii) above other than any failure to
comply with the provisions of Article XII, in which case no notice or grace period shall be
applicable) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring that the same be
remedied, shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company, then the Company may remove the
Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument delivered as provided in the
preceding sentence. In connection with the appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Company shall, on or before the date on which any such appointment becomes
effective, obtain from each Rating Agency written confirmation that the appointment of any such
successor trustee will not result in the reduction of the ratings on any class of the Certificates
below the lesser of the then current or original ratings on such Certificates.
99
(c) The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time
remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in
triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of
which instruments shall be delivered to the Company, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and
one complete set to the successor so appointed.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant
to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by
the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08. Successor Trustee.
(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Company 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 shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Custodial Files and
related documents and statements held by it hereunder (other than any Custodial Files at the time
held by a Custodian, which shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the
Company, the Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.06.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the
Company shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of
Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Company fails to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.
Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or national banking association into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or national banking association
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation or national banking association succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be
the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation or national banking association
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Trustee shall mail notice of any such merger or consolidation to the
Certificateholders at their address as shown in the Certificate Register.
100
Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any
legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the
same may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the
power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or
separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in
such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not
have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in
case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to
Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 8.08 hereof.
(b) In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this
Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall
be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee, and such separate trustee
or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the
Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or
acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by
such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been
given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of
them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee 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.
(d) 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.

direction of the Company and the Master Servicer, appoint custodians who are not Affiliates of the

for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Company, Master Servicer and Trustee acknowledge that the functions of the
Trustee hereunder with respect to the acceptance, custody, inspection and release of Custodial
Files, and the preparation and delivery of the Interim Certification required pursuant to Section
2.02, shall be performed by the Custodian as and to the extent set forth in the Custodial

depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a combined

Certificateholders of the appointment of any custodian (other than the custodian appointed as of
the Closing Date) pursuant to this Section 8.11.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION OR OPTIONAL PURCHASE OF ALL CERTIFICATES
|
Section 9.01. |
|
Optional Purchase by the Master Servicer of All Certificates; Termination
Upon Purchase by the Master Servicer or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans. |
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby in respect of the Certificates (other than the
obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments after the Final Distribution Date to
Certificateholders and the obligation of the Company to send certain notices as hereinafter set
forth) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Trustee on the Final
Distribution Date pursuant to this Article IX following the earlier of:
(i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any P&I Advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of
all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan,
or
(ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to
100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan or, if less than such unpaid
principal balance, the fair market value of the related underlying property of such Mortgage
Loan with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which title has been acquired if such fair market
value is less than such unpaid principal balance (net of any xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances
attributable to principal) on the day of repurchase plus accrued interest thereon at the Net
Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of any Modified Mortgage Loan) to,
but not including, the first day of the month in which such repurchase price is distributed,
provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue
beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx,
living on the date hereof and provided further that the purchase price set forth above shall
be increased as is necessary, as determined by the Master Servicer, to avoid
disqualification of any portion of any REMIC formed under the Series Supplement as a REMIC.
The purchase price paid by the Master Servicer shall also include any amounts owed by
[_______________] pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4 of the Assignment Agreement in
respect of any liability, penalty or expense that resulted from a breach of the Compliance
With Laws Representation, that remain unpaid on the date of such purchase.
The right of the Master Servicer to purchase all the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to
clause (ii) above is conditioned upon the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the Final
Distribution Date, prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date,
being less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
103
If such right is exercised by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have
been reimbursed for the full amount of any xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances theretofore made by it with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. In addition, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee the
certification required by Section 3.15 and the Trustee and the Custodian shall, promptly following
payment of the purchase price, release to the Master Servicer the Custodial Files pertaining to the
Mortgage Loans being purchased.
In addition to the foregoing, on any Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal
Balance, prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, is less than
ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall
have the right, at its option, to purchase the Certificates in whole, but not in part, at a price
equal to the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates plus the sum of Accrued
Certificate Interest thereon for the related Interest Accrual Period and any previously unpaid
Accrued Certificate Interest. If the Master Servicer exercises this right to purchase the
outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer will promptly terminate the respective obligations
and responsibilities created hereby in respect of the Certificates pursuant to this Article IX.
(b) The Master Servicer shall give the Trustee not less than 40 days’ prior notice of the
Distribution Date on which the Master Servicer anticipates that the final distribution will be made
to Certificateholders (whether as a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to
purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or otherwise) or on which the Master Servicer anticipates
that the Certificates will be purchased (as a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer to
purchase the outstanding Certificates). Notice of any termination specifying the anticipated Final
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 (if so required by the terms
hereof) for payment of the final distribution and cancellation or notice of any purchase of the
outstanding Certificates, specifying the Distribution Date upon which the Holders may surrender
their Certificates to the Trustee for payment, shall be given promptly by the Master Servicer (if
it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or to purchase the outstanding
Certificates), or by the Trustee (in any other case) by letter. Such notice shall be prepared by
the Master Servicer (if it is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or to
purchase the outstanding Certificates), or by the Trustee (in any other case) and mailed by the
Trustee to the Certificateholders 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:
(i) the anticipated Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the
Certificates is anticipated to be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at
the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated where required pursuant to this
Agreement or, in the case of the purchase by the Master Servicer of the outstanding
Certificates, the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to be made,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment, or in the case of the purchase of the
outstanding Certificates, the purchase price, in either case, if known, and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, and in the case of the Senior Certificates, or in the case of all of the
104
Certificates in connection with the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to
purchase the Certificates, that payment will be made only upon presentation and surrender of
the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.
If the Master Servicer is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it shall
give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders and, if the Master Servicer is exercising its rights to purchase the outstanding
Certificates, it shall give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders. As a result of the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the
assets of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account, before the
Final Distribution Date in immediately available funds an amount equal to the purchase price for
the assets of the Trust Fund, computed as provided above. As a result of the exercise by the
Master Servicer of its right to purchase the outstanding Certificates, the Master Servicer shall
deposit in an Eligible Account, established by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and
separate from the Certificate Account in the name of the Trustee in trust for the registered
holders of the Certificates, before the Distribution Date on which such purchase is to occur in
immediately available funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the Certificates, computed as
above provided, and provide notice of such deposit to the Trustee. The Trustee will withdraw from
such account the amount specified in subsection (c) below.
(c) In the case of the Senior Certificates, upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates by the Certificateholders thereof, and in the case of the Class M and Class B
Certificates, upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders thereof
in connection with the exercise by the Master Servicer of its right to purchase the Certificates,
and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.01(a), the Trustee shall distribute to the
Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date, if not in
connection with the Master Servicer’s election to repurchase the assets of the Trust Fund or the
outstanding Certificates, or (ii) if the Master Servicer elected to so repurchase the assets of the
Trust Fund or the outstanding Certificates, an amount determined as follows: (A) with respect to
each Certificate the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus Accrued Certificate
Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period thereon and any previously unpaid Accrued
Certificate Interest, subject to the priority set forth in Section 4.02(a), and (B) with respect to
the Class R Certificates, any excess of the amounts available for distribution (including the
repurchase price specified in clause (ii) of subsection (a) of this Section) over the total amount
distributed under the immediately preceding clause (A). Notwithstanding the reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Subordinate Certificates to zero, such Class will be
outstanding hereunder until the termination of the respective obligations and responsibilities of
the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article IX.
(d) If any Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment and
cancellation on or before the Final Distribution Date (if so required by the terms hereof), the
Master Servicer (if it exercised its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund), 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 six months after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as directed by the Master
Servicer to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates.
The costs and
105
expenses of maintaining the Certificate Account and of contacting Certificateholders shall be
paid out of the assets which remain in the Certificate Account. If within nine months after the
second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall
pay to the Master Servicer all amounts distributable to the holders thereof and the Master Servicer
shall thereafter hold such amounts until distributed to such Holders. No interest shall accrue or
be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in the Certificate Account or by the Master
Servicer as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final
payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
(e) If any Certificateholders do not surrender their Certificates on or before the
Distribution Date on which a purchase of the outstanding Certificates is to be made, the Master
Servicer shall give a second written notice to such Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for payment of the purchase price therefor. If within six months after the second
notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take
appropriate steps as directed by the Master Servicer to contact the Holders of such Certificates
concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the Certificate
Account and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain in the
Certificate Account. If within nine months after the second notice any Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation in accordance with this Section 9.01, the Trustee shall pay to
the Master Servicer all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof and the Master Servicer shall
thereafter hold such amounts until distributed to such Holders. No interest shall accrue or be
payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in the Certificate Account or by the Master
Servicer as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for
payment in accordance with this Section 9.01. Any Certificate that is not surrendered on the
Distribution Date on which a purchase pursuant to this Section 9.01 occurs as provided above will
be deemed to have been purchased and the Holder as of such date will have no rights with respect
thereto except to receive the purchase price therefor minus any costs and expenses associated with
such Certificate Account and notices allocated thereto. Any Certificates so purchased or deemed to
have been purchased on such Distribution Date shall remain outstanding hereunder until the Master
Servicer has terminated the respective obligations and responsibilities created hereby in respect
of the Certificates pursuant to this Article IX. The Master Servicer shall be for all purposes the
Holder thereof as of such date.
Section 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) Each of REMIC I and REMIC II that comprises the Trust Fund shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee and the Master Servicer
have received an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trustee) to the effect that the failure of each such REMIC to comply with the requirements of this
Section 9.02 will not (i) result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on “prohibited
transactions,” as described in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any such REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding:
(i) The Master Servicer shall establish a 90-day liquidation period for each such REMIC
and specify the first day of such period in a statement attached to the Trust Fund’s final
Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.860F-1. The Master
106
Servicer also shall satisfy all of the requirements of a qualified liquidation for a
REMIC under Section 860F of the Code and regulations thereunder;
(ii) The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee at the commencement of such 90-day
liquidation period and, at or prior to the time of making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall sell or otherwise dispose of all of the remaining assets of
the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms hereof; and
(iii) If the Master Servicer or the Company is exercising its right to purchase the
assets of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall, during the 90-day liquidation period
and at or prior to the Final Distribution Date, purchase all of the assets of the Trust Fund
for cash.
(b) Each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee hereby irrevocably approves and appoints the
Master Servicer as its attorney-in-fact to adopt a plan of complete liquidation for each REMIC at
the expense of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 9.03. Termination of Multiple REMICs.
If the REMIC Administrator makes two or more separate REMIC elections, the applicable REMIC
shall be terminated on the earlier of the Final Distribution Date and the date on which it is
deemed to receive the last deemed distributions on the related Uncertificated REMIC Regular
Interests and the last distribution due on the Certificates is made.
107
ARTICLE X
REMIC PROVISIONS
Section 10.01. REMIC Administration.
(a) The REMIC Administrator shall make an election to treat the Trust Fund as one or more
REMICs under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. The assets of each such REMIC
will be set forth in the Series Supplement. Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other
appropriate federal tax or information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return
for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are
issued. For the purposes of each REMIC election in respect of the Trust Fund, Certificates and
interests to be designated as the “regular interests” and the sole class of “residual interests” in
the REMIC will be set forth in Section 10.03 of the Series Supplement. The REMIC Administrator and
the Trustee shall not permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of
the Code) in any REMIC elected in respect of the Trust Fund other than the “regular interests” and
“residual interests” so designated.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” of the Trust Fund within the
meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The REMIC Administrator shall hold a Class R Certificate representing a 0.01% Percentage
Interest each Class of the Class R Certificates and shall be designated as “the tax matters person”
with respect to each REMIC in the manner provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d)
and Treasury regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1. The REMIC Administrator, as tax matters person,
shall (i) act on behalf of each REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving the
Trust Fund and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating
to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal
expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ or accountants’ fees, and costs of any such
proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust Fund and the REMIC
Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the
Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 unless such legal
expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the REMIC Administrator’s willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence. If the REMIC Administrator is no longer the Master Servicer hereunder,
at its option the REMIC Administrator may continue its duties as REMIC Administrator and shall be
paid reasonable compensation not to exceed $3,000 per year by any successor Master Servicer
hereunder for so acting as the REMIC Administrator.
(d) The REMIC Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared all of the Tax Returns that
it determines are required with respect to each REMIC created hereunder and deliver such Tax
Returns in a timely manner to the Trustee and the Trustee shall sign and file such Tax Returns in a
timely manner. The expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne by the REMIC Administrator
without any right of reimbursement therefor. The REMIC Administrator agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Trustee with respect to any tax or liability arising from the Trustee’s signing of Tax
Returns that contain errors or omissions. The Trustee and Master Servicer shall promptly provide
the REMIC Administrator with such
108
information as the REMIC Administrator may from time to time request for the purpose of
enabling the REMIC Administrator to prepare Tax Returns.
(e) The REMIC Administrator shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such
information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R
Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Trustee, and the Trustee
shall forward to the Certificateholders, such information or reports as are required by the Code or
the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market
discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the
name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the representative of
each REMIC.
(f) The Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause
each REMIC created hereunder to take such actions as are reasonably within the Master Servicer’s or
the REMIC Administrator’s control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as
shall be necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions (and the Trustee shall assist the Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator, to the
extent reasonably requested by the Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator to do so). The
Master Servicer and the REMIC Administrator shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action,
cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action
reasonably within their respective control that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken,
as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any portion of any REMIC formed under the
Series Supplement as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC
(including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2)
of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code)
(either such event, in the absence of an Opinion of Counsel or the indemnification referred to in
this sentence, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as
applicable, has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such
action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Master Servicer or the REMIC
Administrator, as applicable, determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the
Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at the
expense of the Master Servicer, the REMIC Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the
contemplated action will not, with respect to each REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status
or, unless the Master Servicer, the REMIC Administrator or both, as applicable, determine in its or
their sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against the imposition of such a tax, result in
the imposition of such a tax. Wherever in this Agreement a contemplated action may not be taken
because the timing of such action might result in the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund, or may
only be taken pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel that such action would not impose a tax on the
Trust Fund, such action may nonetheless be taken provided that the indemnity given in the preceding
sentence with respect to any taxes that might be imposed on the Trust Fund has been given and that
all other preconditions to the taking of such action have been satisfied. The Trustee shall not
take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Master
Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, has advised it in writing that it has received
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such
action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or any
related assets thereof, or causing any such REMIC to take any action, which is
109
not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee will consult with the
Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, or its designee, in writing, with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any such
REMIC, and the Trustee shall not take any such action or cause any such REMIC to take any such
action as to which the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, has advised it in
writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator,
as applicable, may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be
borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no
event at the expense of the Master Servicer or the REMIC Administrator. At all times as may be
required by the Code, the Master Servicer will to the extent within its control and the scope of
its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of each
REMIC created hereunder as “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and
“permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created
hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on “net income from foreclosure property”
of any such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC
after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed
by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i)
to the Master Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer
of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Master Servicer has in its sole discretion
determined to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, (ii) to the Trustee, if such tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X, or
(iii) otherwise against amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 and
on the Distribution Date(s) following such reimbursement the aggregate of such taxes shall be
allocated in reduction of the Accrued Certificate Interest on each Class entitled thereto in the
same manner as if such taxes constituted a Prepayment Interest Shortfall.
(h) The Trustee and the Master Servicer 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
or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC Provisions.
(i) Following the Startup Day, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall accept any
contributions of assets to any REMIC created hereunder unless (subject to Section 10.01(f)) the
Master Servicer and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the
party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such
REMIC will not cause the REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding or subject the REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(j) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall (subject to Section 10.01(f)) enter into
any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for
services nor permit any such REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified
mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in
Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
110
(k) Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations, the
“latest possible maturity date” by which the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of
Certificates (other than the Interest Only Certificates) representing a regular interest in the
applicable REMIC and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each Uncertificated REMIC Regular
Interest (other than each Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interest represented by a Class A-V
Certificate, if any) and the rights to the Interest Only Certificates and Uncertificated REMIC
Regular Interest represented by a Class A-V Certificate would be reduced to zero is the Maturity
Date for each such Certificate and Interest.
(l) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the REMIC Administrator shall prepare and file with
the Internal Revenue Service Form 8811, “Information Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment
Conduits (REMIC) and Issuers of Collateralized Debt Obligations” for each REMIC created hereunder.
(m) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any
of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or foreclosure
of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property
acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of any REMIC created hereunder, (iii)
the termination of any such REMIC pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of
Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of this Agreement) nor acquire any assets for any such
REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Custodial Account or the Certificate Account
for gain nor accept any contributions to any such REMIC after the Closing Date unless it has
received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition, substitution or acquisition will not
(a) affect adversely the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Master Servicer has
determined in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, cause such REMIC to
be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions.
Section 10.02. Master Servicer, REMIC Administrator and Trustee Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company, the REMIC Administrator and
the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys
fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Company or the Master Servicer, as a result of a
breach of the Trustee’s covenants set forth in Article VIII or this Article X.
(b) The REMIC Administrator agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee for any taxes and costs (including, without limitation, any reasonable
attorneys’ fees) imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Company, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as a result of a breach of the REMIC Administrator’s covenants set forth in this Article X
with respect to compliance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, any penalties
arising from the Trustee’s execution of Tax Returns prepared by the REMIC Administrator that
contain errors or omissions; provided, however, that such liability will not be imposed to the
extent such breach is a result of an error or omission in information provided to the REMIC

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01. Amendment.
(a) This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Company,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders:
(i) to cure any ambiguity,
(ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein or therein, which may be
inconsistent with any other provisions herein or therein or to correct any error,
(iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be
necessary or desirable to maintain the qualification of the Trust Fund as a REMIC at all
times that any Certificate is outstanding or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition
of any tax on the Trust Fund pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trust
Fund, provided that the Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (A)
such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize
the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (B) such action will not adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder,
(iv) to change the timing and/or nature of deposits into the Custodial Account or the
Certificate Account or to change the name in which the Custodial Account is maintained,
provided that (A) the Certificate Account Deposit Date shall in no event be later than the
related Distribution Date, (B) such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel,
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder and (C) such
change shall not result in a reduction of the rating assigned to any Class of Certificates
below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates as of
the Closing Date (in the case of the Insured Certificates (as defined in the Series
Supplement), such determination shall be made without giving effect to the Certificate
Policy (as defined in the Series Supplement)), as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency to such effect,
(v) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.02(f) or any other
provision hereof restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates, by virtue of their being
the “residual interests” in a REMIC, provided that (A) such change shall not result in
reduction of the rating assigned to any such Class of Certificates below the lower of the
then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates as of the Closing Date (in
the case of the Insured Certificates (as defined in the Series Supplement), such
determination shall be made without giving effect to the Certificate Policy (as defined in
the Series Supplement)), as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency to such effect,
and (B) such change shall not (subject to Section 10.01(f)), as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking so to modify, eliminate or add such
provisions), cause any REMIC created hereunder or any of the Certificateholders (other
113
than the transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a transfer to a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee,
(vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under
this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement which shall not be materially inconsistent with
the provisions of this Agreement, provided that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder or
(vii) to amend any provision herein or therein that is not material to any of the
Certificateholders.
(b) This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates with a Certificate Principal Balance greater than zero affected thereby for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of this Agreement or such Custodial Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall:
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments which are
required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate,
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which
are required to consent to any such amendment, in any such case without the consent of the
Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to
any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel (subject
to Section 10.01(f) and at the expense of the party seeking such amendment) to the effect that such
amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Company or the Trustee
in accordance with such amendment is permitted hereunder and will not result in the imposition of a
federal tax on the Trust Fund or cause any REMIC created under the Series Supplement to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(d) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance of such amendment to the Custodian and each Certificateholder. It
shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall
approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
(e) The Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to obtain and deliver to the
Trustee any corporate guaranty, payment obligation, irrevocable letter of credit, surety bond,
insurance policy or similar instrument or a reserve fund, or any combination of the foregoing, for
114
the purpose of protecting the Holders of the Class B Certificates against any or all Realized
Losses or other shortfalls. Any such instrument or fund shall be held by the Trustee for the
benefit of the Class B Certificateholders, but shall not be and shall not be deemed to be under any
circumstances included in the Trust Fund. To the extent that any such instrument or fund
constitutes a reserve fund for federal income tax purposes, (i) any reserve fund so established
shall be an outside reserve fund and not an asset of the Trust Fund, (ii) any such reserve fund
shall be owned by the Company, and (iii) amounts transferred by the Trust Fund to any such reserve
fund shall be treated as amounts distributed by the Trust Fund to the Company or any successor, all
within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h) as it reads as of the Cut-off Date.
In connection with the provision of any such instrument or fund, this Agreement and any provision
hereof may be modified, added to, deleted or otherwise amended in any manner that is related or
incidental to such instrument or fund or the establishment or administration thereof, such
amendment to be made by written instrument executed or consented to by the Company but without the
consent of any Certificateholder and without the consent of the Master Servicer or the Trustee
being required unless any such amendment would impose any additional obligation on, or otherwise
adversely affect the interests of the Senior Certificateholders, the Class M Certificateholders,
the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable; provided that the Company obtains (subject to
Section 10.01(f)) an Opinion of Counsel (which need not be an opinion of Independent counsel) to
the effect that any such amendment 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)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section
860G(d)(1) of the Code and (b) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificate is outstanding. In the event that the Company elects to provide such
coverage in the form of a limited guaranty provided by [________], the Company may elect that the
text of such amendment to this Agreement shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit K (in which case [_______________]’s Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation as described
in such exhibit shall be established by [_______________]’s consent to such amendment) and that the
limited guaranty shall be executed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L, with such changes as
the Company shall deem to be appropriate; it being understood that the Trustee has reviewed and
approved the content of such forms and that the Trustee’s consent or approval to the use thereof is
not required.
Section 11.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all
appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable
jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in
any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Master Servicer and at its expense on direction by the Trustee (pursuant to the request of Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights), but only upon direction accompanied
by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects
the interests of the Certificateholders.
(b) For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and
for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number
115
of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such
counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to
claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up
of the Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of any of the
parties hereto.
(b) No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided herein) or
in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations
of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the
Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners
or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third
person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision
hereof.
(c) 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 or under or with respect to this
Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of
default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of
Certificates of any Class evidencing in the aggregate not less than 25% of the related Percentage
Interests of such Class, 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 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or
proceeding it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders
of Certificates of any Class 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 of such Class or any other Class, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or
preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the
manner herein provided and for the common benefit of Certificateholders of such Class or all
Classes, as the case may be. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section
11.03, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.
Section 11.04. Governing Law.
This agreement and the Certificates shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof, other than
Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, and the obligations, rights and
remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section 11.08. Supplemental Provisions for Resecuritization.
This Agreement may be supplemented by means of the addition of a separate Article hereto (a
“Supplemental Article”) for the purpose of resecuritizing any of the Certificates issued hereunder,
under the following circumstances. With respect to any Class or Classes of Certificates issued
hereunder, or any portion of any such Class, as to which the Company or any of its Affiliates (or
any designee thereof) is the registered Holder (the “Resecuritized Certificates”), the Company may
deposit such Resecuritized Certificates into a new REMIC, grantor trust or custodial arrangement (a
“Restructuring Vehicle”) to be held by the Trustee pursuant to a Supplemental Article. The
instrument adopting such Supplemental Article shall be executed by the Company, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee; provided, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall withhold their
consent thereto if their respective interests would not be materially adversely affected thereby.
To the extent that the terms of the Supplemental Article do not in any way affect any provisions of
this Agreement as to any of the Certificates initially issued hereunder, the adoption of the
Supplemental Article shall not constitute an “amendment” of this Agreement.
Each Supplemental Article shall set forth all necessary provisions relating to the holding of
the Resecuritized Certificates by the Trustee, the establishment of the Restructuring Vehicle, the
issuing of various classes of new certificates by the Restructuring Vehicle and the distributions
to be made thereon, and any other provisions necessary for the purposes thereof. In connection
with each Supplemental Article, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that (i) the Restructuring Vehicle will qualify as a REMIC, grantor trust or other
entity not subject to taxation for federal income tax purposes and (ii) the adoption of the
Supplemental Article will not endanger the status of the Trust Fund as a REMIC or (subject to
Section 10.01(f)) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited
to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC as set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code).

document, notice or other information by [_________________] to the Rule 17g-5 Website, and the
Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to deliver such document, notice or other information

shall require that any person attempting to access the Trustee website related to this transaction
represent that they are not an employee or representative of a rating agency, provided that the
Trustee shall bear no expense or liability relating to any representation made by any person

COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION AB
Section 12.01. Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness.
The Company, the Trustee and the Master Servicer acknowledge and agree that the purpose of
this Article XII is to facilitate compliance by the Company with the provisions of Regulation AB
and related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Company shall not exercise its right to
request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good
faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Each of the
Master Servicer and the Trustee acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation
AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its
staff, consensus among participants in the mortgage-backed securities markets, advice of counsel,
or otherwise, and agrees to comply with reasonable requests made by the Company in good faith for
delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of
Regulation AB. Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall cooperate reasonably with the
Company to deliver to the Company (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all
disclosure, statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the
reasonable, good faith determination of the Company to permit the Company to comply with the
provisions of Regulation AB.
Section 12.02. Additional Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.
(a) The Trustee shall be deemed to represent and warrant to the Company as of the Closing Date
and on each date on which information is provided to the Company under Sections 12.01, 12.02(b) or
12.03 that, except as disclosed in writing to the Company prior to such date: (i) it is not aware
and has not received notice that any default, early amortization or other performance triggering
event has occurred as to any other Securitization Transaction due to any default of the Trustee;
(ii) there are no aspects of its financial condition that could have a material adverse effect on
the performance by it of its trustee obligations under this Agreement or any other Securitization
Transaction as to which it is the trustee; (iii) there are no material legal or governmental
proceedings pending (or known to be contemplated) against it that would be material to
Certificateholders; (iv) there are no relationships or transactions (as described in Item 1119(b)
of Regulation AB) relating to the Trustee with respect to the Company or any sponsor, issuing
entity, servicer, trustee, originator, significant obligor, enhancement or support provider or
other material transaction party (as each of such terms are used in Regulation AB) relating to the
Securitization Transaction contemplated by the Agreement, as identified by the Company to the
Trustee in writing as of the Closing Date (each, a “Transaction Party”) that are outside the
ordinary course of business or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction
with an unrelated third party, apart from the Securitization Transaction, and that are material to
the investors’ understanding of the Certificates; and (v) the Trustee is not an affiliate (as
contemplated by Item 1119(a) of Regulation AB) of any Transaction Party. The Company shall notify
the Trustee of any change in the identity of a Transaction Party after the Closing Date.
120
(b) If so requested by the Company on any date following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall,
within five Business Days following such request, confirm in writing the accuracy of the
representations and warranties set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section or, if any such
representation and warranty is not accurate as of the date of such confirmation, provide the
pertinent facts, in writing, to the Company. Any such request from the Company shall not be given
more than once each calendar quarter, unless the Company shall have a reasonable basis for
questioning the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties.
Section 12.03. Information to Be Provided by the Trustee.
For so long as the Certificates are outstanding, for the purpose of satisfying the Company’s
reporting obligation under the Exchange Act with respect to any class of Certificates, the Trustee
shall provide to the Company a written description of (a) any litigation or governmental
proceedings pending against the Trustee as of the last day of each calendar month that would be
material to Certificateholders, and (b) any affiliations or relationships (as described in Item
1119 of Regulation AB) that develop following the Closing Date between the Trustee and any
Transaction Party of the type described in Section 12.02(a)(iv) or 12.02(a)(v) as of the last day
of each calendar year. Any descriptions required with respect to legal proceedings, as well as
updates to previously provided descriptions, under this Section 12.03 shall be given no later than
five Business Days prior to the Determination Date following the month in which the relevant event
occurs, and any notices and descriptions required with respect to affiliations, as well as updates
to previously provided descriptions, under this Section 12.03 shall be given no later than January
31 of the calendar year following the year in which the relevant event occurs. As of the related
Distribution Date with respect to each Report on Form 10-D with respect to the Certificates filed
by or on behalf of the Company, and as of March 15 preceding the date each Report on Form 10-K with
respect to the Certificates is filed, the Trustee shall be deemed to represent and warrant that any
information previously provided by the Trustee under this Article XII is materially correct and
does not have any material omissions unless the Trustee has provided an update to such information.
The Company will allow the Trustee to review any disclosure relating to material litigation
against the Trustee prior to filing such disclosure with the Commission to the extent the Company
changes the information provided by the Trustee.
Section 12.04. Report on Assessment of Compliance and Attestation.
On or before March 5 of each calendar year, the Trustee shall:

Servicer and each affiliate of the Master Servicer, and the respective present and former
directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing, and shall hold each of them
harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and
expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may
sustain arising out of or based upon:
(i)(A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any

without regard to whether the [__] Information or any portion thereof is presented together with or
separately from such other information.
122
(d) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 12.05 to the contrary, the parties agree
that none of the Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer shall be liable to the other for any

consisting primarily of a pool of [conventional one- to four-family

MORTGAGE SECURITIES, LLC |
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent
an obligation of or interest in Phoenix Mortgage Securities, LLC, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
referred to below or [___________] or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the
underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality
or by Phoenix Mortgage Securities, LLC, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or [___________] or any of
their affiliates. None of the Company, the Master Servicer, [___________] or any of their
affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by
or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This
certifies that ___________ is the
registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate [(obtained by dividing
the [Initial Certificate Principal Balance] [Initial [Interest Only/Class A-V] Notional Amount] of
this Certificate by the aggregate [Initial Certificate Principal
Balance of all Class A– ____ Certificates] [Initial [Interest Only/Class A-V] Notional Amounts of all [Interest Only/Class
A-V] Certificates], both as specified above)] in certain distributions with respect to the Trust
Fund consisting primarily of an interest in a pool of [conventional one- to four-family fixed
interest rate first mortgage loans] (the “Mortgage Loans”), formed and sold by Phoenix Mortgage
Securities, LLC (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor entity under
the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement dated as specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Company, the Master Servicer and
A-2
__________________, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent
provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized
terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is
bound.
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, the Business Day immediately following (the
“Distribution Date”), commencing as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a
Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the month immediately
preceding the month of such distribution (the “Record Date”), from the Available Distribution
Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount [(of interest and principal, if any)] required to be distributed to Holders of Class A– Certificates on such Distribution Date. [The [Interest Only/Class A-V]] Notional
Amount of the [Interest Only/Class A-V] Certificates as of any date of determination is equal to
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans corresponding to the Uncertificated
REMIC Regular Interests represented by such [Interest Only/Class A-V] Certificates.] [The Subclass
Notional Amount of the [Interest Only/Class A-V] Certificates as of any date of
determination is equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
corresponding to the Uncertificated REMIC Regular Interests represented by such [Interest
Only/Class A-V] Certificates immediately prior to such date.] [The [Interest Only/Class
A-V][_] Certificates have no Certificate Principal Balance.]
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf
of the Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by
wire transfer or otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall
have so notified the Master Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this
Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose. The [Initial
Certificate Principal Balance] [Initial [Interest Only/Class A-V] Notional Amount] [initial
Subclass Notional Amount] of this Certificate is set forth above.] [The Certificate Principal
Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal and any
Realized Losses allocable hereto.]
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes
designated as Mortgage-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein
collectively called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries
respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In
the event Master Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is
reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the
A-3
Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have
been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate
Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time
to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including
without limitation reimbursement to the Company and the Master Servicer of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the
Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and,
in certain additional circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other 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 authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and
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 authorized
denominations evidencing the same Class and 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 Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of
the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
A-4
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on
behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the
earlier of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer from the Trust Fund of all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans, thereby effecting early
retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer
to (i) purchase at a price determined as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part,
all of the Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only be
exercised if the Pool Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date
upon which the proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set
forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate
Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the

__________________, as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of
which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is
B-3
issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which
such Holder is bound.
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, the Business Day immediately following (the
“Distribution Date”), commencing as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a
Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding such last day) of the month immediately
preceding the month of such distribution (the “Record Date”), from the Available Distribution
Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to be distributed to Holders of Class
M- Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Master Servicer acting on behalf
of the Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by
wire transfer or otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall
have so notified the Master Servicer or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this
Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose. The Initial
Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal
Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of the distributions allocable to principal and any
Realized Losses allocable hereto.
Any transferee of this Certificate will be deemed to have represented by virtue of its
purchase or holding of this Certificate (or interest herein) that either (a) such transferee is not
an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any plan, or any other person, acting,
directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan assets” of any plan
(a “plan investor”), (b) it has acquired and is holding such Certificate in reliance on prohibited
transaction exemption (“PTE”) 94-29, as most recently amended, PTE 2002-41, 67 fed. Reg. 54487
(August 22, 2002) (the “Issuer Exemption”), and that it understands that there are certain
conditions to the availability of the Issuer Exemption including that such Certificate must be
rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s,
Fitch or Moody’s or (c) (i) the transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds to be
used by it to purchase the Certificate is an “insurance company general account” (within the
meaning of U.S. Department of Labor prohibited transaction class exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60), and
(iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied (each entity
that satisfies this clause (c), a “complying insurance company).
If this Certificate (or any interest herein) is acquired or held by any person that does not
satisfy the conditions described in the preceding paragraph, then the last preceding transferee
that either (i) is not a plan investor, (ii) acquired such Certificate in compliance with the
Issuer Exemption, or (iii) is a complying insurance company shall be restored, to the extent
B-4
permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Certificate owner thereof retroactive to
the date of such transfer of this Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any
person for making any payments due on this Certificate to such preceding transferee.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes
designated as Mortgage-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein
collectively called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries
respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In
the event Master Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is
reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related
recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to
Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate
Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time
to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including
without limitation reimbursement to the Company and the Master Servicer of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the
Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and,
in certain additional circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other 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 authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and
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
B-5
of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and 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 Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of
the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on
behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the
earlier of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer from the Trust Fund of all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans, thereby effecting early
retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer
to (i) purchase at a price determined as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part,
all of the Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only be
exercised if the Pool Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date
upon which the proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate
Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent
an obligation of or interest in Phoenix Mortgage Securities, LLC, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
referred to below or [___________] or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the
underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality
or by Phoenix Mortgage Securities, LLC, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or [___________] or any of
their affiliates. None of the Company, the Master Servicer, [___________] or any of their
affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by

This certifies that Phoenix Mortgage Securities, LLC is the registered owner of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Certificate Principal Balance of
this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all Class B-
Certificates, both as specified above) in certain distributions with respect to a Trust Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of [conventional one- to four-family fixed interest rate first
mortgage loans] (the “Mortgage Loans”), formed and sold by Phoenix Mortgage Securities, LLC
(hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement
referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated
as specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Company, the Master Servicer and __________________,
as trustee (the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth
hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is

registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state
securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that such a transfer
is to be made, (i) the Trustee or the Company may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to and

indemnify the Trustee, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar acting on
behalf of the Trustee against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is
not made in accordance with such Federal and state laws. In connection with any such transfer, the
Trustee will also require either (i) an opinion of counsel addressed to the Trustee, the Company
and the Master Servicer, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee with
respect to the permissibility of such transfer under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and stating,
among other things, that the transferee’s acquisition of a Class B Certificate will not constitute
or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code or (ii) a representation
C-3
letter, in the form as described by Section 5.02(e) of the Agreement, either stating that the

upon the availability of the exemptive relief afforded under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60.

not made in accordance with such Federal and state laws. In connection with any such transfer, the
Trustee will also require either (i) an opinion of counsel addressed to the Trustee, the Company
and the Master Servicer, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee with
respect to the permissibility of such transfer under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and stating,
among other things, that the transferee’s acquisition of a Class P Certificate will not constitute
or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code or (ii) a representation letter, in the form as described by Section 5.02(e) of the Agreement,
either stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any other
person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting,
directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with “plan assets” of any Plan.
C-I-3
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes
designated as Mortgage-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein
collectively called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries
respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In
the event Master Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is
reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement, from related
recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been distributable to
Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate
Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time
to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including
without limitation reimbursement to the Company and the Master Servicer of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the
Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and,
in certain additional circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other 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 authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and
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 authorized
denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
C-I-4
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 Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of
the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on
behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the
earlier of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer from the Trust Fund of all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans, thereby effecting early
retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer
to (i) purchase at a price determined as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part,
all of the Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only be
exercised if the Pool Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date
upon which the proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate
Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

SECURITIES, LLC
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent
an obligation of or interest in Phoenix Mortgage Securities, LLC, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
referred to below or [___________] or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the
underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality
or by Phoenix Mortgage Securities, LLC, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or [___________] or any of

affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by

This certifies that PRAMWAVE & CO. is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate in certain distributions with respect to the Trust Fund consisting
primarily of an interest in a pool of [one- to four-family adjustable rate first lien mortgage
loans] (the “Mortgage Loans”), sold by Phoenix Mortgage Securities, LLC (hereinafter called the
“Depositor,” which term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The

C-II-2
above (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and _____________, as trustee
(the “Trustee”), a summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in

immediately preceding the month of such distribution (the “Record Date”), from the Available
Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount of interest and principal, if any, required to be distributed to Holders
of Class SB-[ ] Certificates on such Distribution Date.

of the Trustee or by a Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by

the Trustee that the purchase of this Certificate is permissible under applicable law, will not
constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under Title I of ERISA or Section

This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent
an obligation of or interest in Phoenix Mortgage Securities, LLC, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
referred to below or [___________] or any of their affiliates. Neither this Certificate
nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or

entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling

provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized

bound.
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, the Business Day immediately following (the
“Distribution Date”), commencing as described in the Agreement, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last day (or if such last day is not a

Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions
set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership

Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will vest no
rights in the purported transferee, and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person and a

restrictions, then the Company will have the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to
the Holder of this Certificate, to sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Company,
which purchaser may be the Company, or any affiliate of the Company, on such terms and conditions
as the Company may choose.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due
notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this
Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose. The Initial
Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above. The Certificate Principal
Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions allocable to principal and any
Realized Losses allocable hereto. Notwithstanding the reduction of the Certificate Principal
Balance hereof to zero, this Certificate will remain outstanding under the Agreement and the Holder
hereof may have additional obligations with respect to this Certificate, including tax liabilities,
and may be entitled to certain additional distributions hereon, in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Agreement.
[[FOR PRIVATELY OFFERED CLASS R CERTIFICATES ONLY] No transfer of this Class SB-[ ]
Certificate will be made unless such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that such a transfer is to be made, (i) the Trustee
or the Depositor may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer is exempt (describing the
applicable exemption and the basis therefor) from or is being made pursuant to the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and of any applicable statute of any state
and (ii) the transferee shall execute an investment letter in the form described by the Agreement.
The Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar acting on behalf of the
Trustee against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such Federal and state laws.]
No transfer of this Class R Certificate will be made unless the Trustee has received either
(i) an opinion of counsel addressed to the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer, acceptable
to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee with respect to the permissibility of such
transfer under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and stating, among other things, that the
transferee’s acquisition of a Class R Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) a
representation letter, in the form as described by the Agreement, stating that the transferee is
not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code (a “Plan”), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named
fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any
Certificate with “plan assets” of any Plan.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in several Classes
designated as Mortgage-Backed Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified hereon (herein
collectively called the “Certificates”).
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries
respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. In
the event Master Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is
reimbursable to the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the
Agreement, from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have
been distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or the Certificate
Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the Master Servicer from time
to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including
without limitation reimbursement to the Company and the Master Servicer of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, by either of them.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment of the
Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof in certain circumstances without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and,
in certain additional circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other 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 authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Classes and
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 authorized
denominations evidencing the same Class and 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 Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of
the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the
Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on
behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the
earlier of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer from the Trust Fund of all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans, thereby effecting early
retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer
to (i) purchase at a price determined as provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and
all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part,
all of the Certificates from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only be
exercised if the Pool Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date
upon which the proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purpose have the same effect as if set forth
at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate
Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

This Contract may not be amended or modified orally, and no provision of this Contract may be

affects its capacity to fulfill any of its obligations under this Contract.

a violation of any of the foregoing. |

or oral, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Contract. All paragraph headings
contained herein are for convenience only and shall not be construed as part of this Contract. Any
provision of this Contract that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction, and, to this end, the provisions hereof are severable. This
Contract shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, applicable federal

[NAME OF OFFICER], being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. That he is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner] (record or beneficial owner of the
Mortgage-Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series ___-___, Class R (the “Owner”)), a [savings
institution] [corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the State of ] [the United States], on behalf of which he makes this affidavit
and agreement.
2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a “disqualified organization” or an electing
large partnership as of [date of transfer] within the meaning of Sections 860E(e)(5) and 775,
respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or an electing large
partnership under Section 775(a) of the Code, (ii) will endeavor to remain other than a
disqualified organization for so long as it retains its ownership interest in the Class R
Certificates, and (iii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own account or for the
account of another Owner from which it has received an affidavit and agreement in substantially the
same form as this affidavit and agreement. (For this purpose, a “disqualified organization” means
an electing large partnership under Section 775 of the Code, the United States, any state or
political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an
instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by any such
governmental entity) or any foreign government, international organization or any agency or
instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone
cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers’ cooperatives) that is generally
exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business
taxable income).
3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of Class R
Certificates to disqualified organizations or electing large partnerships, under the Code, that
applies to all transfers of Class R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be
on the transferor (or, with respect to transfers to electing large partnerships, on each such
partnership), or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a disqualified organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person (other than with
respect to transfers to electing large partnerships) otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved
of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the
transferee is not a disqualified organization and, at the time of transfer, such person does not
have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be
“noneconomic residual interests” within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to
the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable
G-1-1
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.
4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding Class R
Certificates if either the pass-through entity is an electing large partnership under Section 775
of the Code or if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a disqualified
organization is the record holder of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a “pass
through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common
trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. The Owner is either (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation,
partnership or other entity treated as a corporation or a partnership for U.S. federal income tax
purposes and created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or
the District of Columbia (other than a partnership that is not treated as a United States person
under any applicable Treasury regulations), (iii) an estate that is described in Section
7701(a)(30)(D) of the Code, or (iv) a trust that is described in Section 7701(a)(30)(E) of the
Code.
6. The Owner hereby agrees that it will not cause income from the Class R Certificates to be
attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an
applicable income tax treaty) of the Owner or another United States taxpayer.
7. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the transfer of any Class R
Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferee’s agent, delivers to it an affidavit and
agreement, among other things, in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The
Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that
any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.
8. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Class R
Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under
which the Class R Certificates were issued (in particular, clause (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section
5.02(f) which authorize the Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and
negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event the Owner holds such Certificates in
violation of Section 5.02(f)). The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such
restrictions and provisions.
9. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed
necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R
Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified
organization.
10. The Owner’s Taxpayer Identification Number is _______________.
11. This affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R Certificates held by the Owner
and not to any other holder of the Class R Certificates. The Owner understands that the
liabilities described herein relate only to the Class R Certificates.
G-2-1
12. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of the Class R Certificates
by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax; in making this
representation, the Owner warrants that the Owner is familiar with (i) Treasury Regulation Section
1.860E-1(c) and recent amendments thereto, effective as of July 19, 2002, and (ii) the preamble
describing the adoption of the amendments to such regulation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit
1.
13. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable to pay any
United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Certificates remain outstanding. In this
regard, the Owner hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the
Class R Certificate that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R
Certificate as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of
any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificate.
14. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will become insolvent or
subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any of the Class R Certificates remain
outstanding.
15. The Purchaser is not an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the prohibited
transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(“ERISA”), or Section 4975 of the Code, or an investment manager, named fiduciary or a trustee of
any such plan, or any other Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any
Certificate with “plan assets” of any such plan.
G-3-1
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner has caused this instrument to be executed on its behalf,
pursuant to the authority of its Board of Directors, by its [Title of Officer] and its corporate
seal to be hereunto attached, attested by its [Assistant] Secretary, this day of
_________________, 201___.

Background
This document contains final regulations regarding the proposed
amendments to 26 CFR part 1 under section 860E of the Internal Revenue
Code (Code). The regulations provide the circumstances under which a
transferor of a noneconomic REMIC residual interest meeting the
investigation and representation requirements may avail itself of the
safe harbor by satisfying either the formula test or the asset test.
Final regulations governing REMICs, issued in 1992, contain rules
governing the transfer of noneconomic REMIC residual interests. In
general, a transfer of a noneconomic residual interest is disregarded
for all tax purposes if a significant purpose of the transfer is to
[[Page 47452]]
enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax. A
purpose to impede the assessment or collection of tax (a wrongful
purpose) exists if the transferor, at the time of the transfer, either
knew or should have known that the transferee would be unwilling or
unable to pay taxes due on its share of the REMIC‘s taxable income.
Under a safe harbor, the transferor of a REMIC noneconomic residual
interest is presumed not to have a wrongful purpose if two requirements
are satisfied: (1) the transferor conducts a reasonable investigation
of the transferee’s financial condition (the investigation
requirement); and (2) the transferor secures a representation from the
transferee to the effect that the transferee understands the tax
obligations associated with holding a residual interest and intends to
pay those taxes (the representation requirement).
The IRS and Treasury have been concerned that some transferors of
noneconomic residual interests claim they satisfy the safe harbor even
in situations where the economics of the transfer clearly indicate the
transferee is unwilling or unable to pay the tax associated with
holding the interest. For this reason, on February 7, 2000, the IRS
G-7-1
published in the Federal Register (65 FR 5807) a notice of proposed
rulemaking (REG-100276-97; REG-122450-98) designed to clarify the safe
harbor by adding the ``formula test,’’ an economic test. The proposed
regulation provides that the safe harbor is unavailable unless the
present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with
holding the residual interest does not exceed the sum of: (1) The
present value of any consideration given to the transferee to acquire
the interest; (2) the present value of the expected future
distributions on the interest; and (3) the present value of the
anticipated tax savings associated with holding the interest as the
REMIC generates losses.
The notice of proposed rulemaking also contained rules for FASITs.
Section 1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations provides requirements
for transfers of FASIT ownership interests and adopts a safe harbor by
reference to the safe harbor provisions of the REMIC regulations.
In January 2001, the IRS published Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3
I.R.B. 335) to set forth an alternative safe harbor that taxpayers
could use while the IRS and the Treasury considered comments on the
proposed regulations. Under the alternative safe harbor, if a
transferor meets the investigation requirement and the representation
requirement but the transfer fails to meet the formula test, the
transferor may invoke the safe harbor if the transferee meets a two-
prong test (the asset test). A transferee generally meets the first
prong of this test if, at the time of the transfer, and in each of the
two years preceding the year of transfer, the transferee’s gross assets
exceed $100 million and its net assets exceed $10 million. A transferee
generally meets the second prong of this test if it is a domestic,
taxable corporation and agrees in writing not to transfer the interest
to any person other than another domestic, taxable corporation that
also satisfies the requirements of the asset test. A transferor cannot
rely on the asset test if the transferor knows, or has reason to know,
that the transferee will not comply with its written agreement to limit
the restrictions on subsequent transfers of the residual interest.
Rev. Proc. 2001-12 provides that the asset test fails to be
satisfied in the case of a transfer or assignment of a noneconomic
residual interest to a foreign branch of an otherwise eligible
transferee. If such a transfer or assignment were permitted, a
G-8-1
corporate taxpayer might seek to claim that the provisions of an
applicable income tax treaty would resource excess inclusion income as
foreign source income, and that, as a consequence, any U.S. tax
liability attributable to the excess inclusion income could be offset
by foreign tax credits. Such a claim would impede the assessment or
collection of U.S. tax on excess inclusion income, contrary to the
congressional purpose of assuring that such income will be taxable in
all events. See, e.g., sections 860E(a)(1), (b), (e) and 860G(b) of the
Code.
The Treasury and the IRS have learned that certain taxpayers
transferring noneconomic residual interests to foreign branches have
attempted to rely on the formula test to obtain safe harbor treatment
in an effort to impede the assessment or collection of U.S. tax on
excess inclusion income. Accordingly, the final regulations provide
that if a noneconomic residual interest is transferred to a foreign
permanent establishment or fixed base of a U.S. taxpayer, the transfer
is not eligible for safe harbor treatment under either the asset test
or the formula test. The final regulations also require a transferee to
represent that it will not cause income from the noneconomic residual
interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or
fixed base.
Section 1.860E-1(c)(8) provides computational rules that a taxpayer
may use to qualify for safe harbor status under the formula test.
Section 1.860E-1(c)(8)(i) provides that the transferee is presumed to
pay tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified in section
11(b). Some commentators were concerned that this presumed rate of
taxation was too high because it does not take into consideration
taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax rate. In light of the
comments received, this provision has been amended in the final
regulations to allow certain transferees that compute their taxable
income using the alternative minimum tax rate to use the alternative
minimum tax rate applicable to corporations.
Additionally, Sec. 1.860E-1(c)(8)(iii) provides that the present
values in the formula test are to be computed using a discount rate
equal to the applicable Federal short-term rate prescribed by section
1274(d). This is a change from the proposed regulation and Rev. Proc.
2001-12. In those publications the provision stated that “present
G-9-1
values are computed using a discount rate equal to the applicable
Federal rate prescribed in section 1274(d) compounded
semiannually”
and that “[a] lower discount rate may be used if the transferee can
demonstrate that it regularly borrows, in the course of its trade or
business, substantial funds at such lower rate from an unrelated third
party.” The IRS and the Treasury Department have learned that, based
on this provision, certain taxpayers have been attempting to use
unrealistically low or zero interest rates to satisfy the formula test,
frustrating the intent of the test. Furthermore, the Treasury
Department and the IRS believe that a rule allowing for a rate other
than a rate based on an objective index would add unnecessary
complexity to the safe harbor. As a result, the rule in the proposed
regulations that permits a transferee to use a lower discount rate, if
the transferee can demonstrate that it regularly borrows substantial
funds at such lower rate, is not included in the final regulations; and
the Federal short-term rate has been substituted for the applicable
Federal rate. To simplify taxpayers’ computations, the final
regulations allow use of any of the published short-term rates,
provided that the present values are computed with a corresponding
period of compounding. With the exception of the provisions relating to
transfers to foreign branches, these changes generally have the
proposed applicability date of February 4, 2000, but taxpayers may
choose to apply the interest rate formula set forth in the proposed
regulation and Rev. Proc. 2001-12 for transfers occurring before August
19, 2002.
It is anticipated that when final regulations are adopted with
respect to
[[Page 47453]]
FASITs, Sec. 1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations will be adopted in
substantially its present form, with the result that the final
regulations contained in this document will also govern transfers of
FASIT ownership interests with substantially the same applicability
date as is contained in this document.
Effect on Other Documents
G-10-1
Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3 I.R.B. 335) is obsolete for transfers of
noneconomic residual interests in REMICs occurring on or after August
19, 2002.
Special Analyses
It is hereby certified that these regulations will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This certification is based on the fact that it is unlikely that a
substantial number of small entities will hold REMIC residual
interests. Therefore, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) is not required. It has
been determined that this Treasury decision is not a significant
regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a
regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been determined that
sections 553(b) and 553(d) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. chapter 5) do not apply to these regulations.
Drafting Information
The principal author of these regulations is Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx.
However, other personnel from the IRS and Treasury Department
participated in their development.

in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller hereby certifies, represents and warrants to,
and covenants with, the Company and the Trustee that:
1. No purpose of the Seller relating to the transfer of the Certificate by the Seller to the
Purchaser is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
2. The Seller understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trustee and the Master
Servicer a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement as Exhibit G-1. The Seller does not know or believe that any representation contained
therein is false.
3. The Seller has at the time of the transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the
financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section

G-2-1
not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Seller may continue to be
liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Seller has conducted such an
investigation.
4. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not both a United States
Person and a Permitted Transferee.

[TEXT OF AMENDMENT TO POOLING AND SERVICING
AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 11.01(E) FOR A
LIMITED GUARANTY]
ARTICLE XIII
Subordinate Certificate Loss Coverage; Limited Guaranty
Section 13.01. Subordinate Certificate Loss Coverage; Limited Guaranty. (a) Subject
to subsection (c) below, prior to the later of the third Business Day prior to each Distribution
Date or the related Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether it or any
Sub-Servicer will be entitled to any reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02(a) on such Distribution
Date for Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances previously made, (which will not be Advances or
Sub-Servicer Advances that were made with respect to delinquencies which were subsequently
determined to be Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses or
Extraordinary Losses) and, if so, the Master Servicer shall demand payment from [_______________]
of an amount equal to the amount of any Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances reimbursed pursuant to
Section 4.02(a), to the extent such Advances or Sub-Servicer Advances have not been included in the
amount of the Realized Loss in the related Mortgage Loan, and shall distribute the same to the
Class B Certificateholders in the same manner as if such amount were to be distributed pursuant to
Section 4.02(a).
(b) Subject to subsection (c) below, prior to the later of the third Business Day prior to
each Distribution Date or the related Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine
whether any Realized Losses (other than Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses,
Excess Fraud Losses and Extraordinary Losses) will be allocated to the Class B Certificates on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.05, and, if so, the Master Servicer shall demand payment
from [_______________] of the amount of such Realized Loss and shall distribute the same to the
Class B Certificateholders in the same manner as if such amount were to be distributed pursuant to
Section 4.02(a); provided, however, that the amount of such demand in respect of
any Distribution Date shall in no event be greater than the sum of (i) the additional amount of
Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been paid for the Class B Certificateholders on such
Distribution Date had such Realized Loss or Losses not occurred plus (ii) the amount of the
reduction in the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class B Certificates on such Distribution
Date due to such Realized Loss or Losses. Notwithstanding such payment, such Realized Losses shall
be deemed to have been borne by the Certificateholders for purposes of Section 4.05. Excess
Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses and Extraordinary Losses
allocated to the Class B Certificates will not be covered by the Subordinate Certificate Loss
Obligation.
(c) Demands for payments pursuant to this Section shall be made prior to the later of the
third Business Day prior to each Distribution Date or the related Determination Date by the Master
Servicer with written notice thereof to the Trustee. The maximum amount that [_______________]
shall be required to pay pursuant to this Section on any Distribution Date
(the “Amount Available”) shall be equal to the lesser of (X) minus
the sum of (i) all previous payments made under subsections (a) and (b) hereof and (ii) all draws
under the Limited Guaranty made in lieu of such payments as described below in subsection (d) and
(Y) the then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances of the Class B Certificates, or such lower
amount as may be established pursuant to Section 13.02. [_______________]’s obligations as
described in this Section are referred to herein as the “Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation.”
(d) The Trustee will promptly notify [________] of any failure of [_______________] to make
any payments hereunder and shall demand payment pursuant to the limited guaranty (the “Limited
Guaranty”), executed by [________], of [_______________]’s obligation to make payments pursuant to
this Section, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Amount Available and (ii) such required
payments, by delivering to [________] a written demand for payment by wire transfer, not later than
the second Business Day prior to the Distribution Date for such month, with a copy to the Master
Servicer.
(e) All payments made by [_______________] pursuant to this Section or amounts paid under the
Limited Guaranty shall be deposited directly in the Certificate Account, for distribution on the
Distribution Date for such month to the Class B Certificateholders.
(f) The Company shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to substitute for either or
both of the Limited Guaranty or the Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation another instrument in
the form of a corporate guaranty, an irrevocable letter of credit, a surety bond, insurance policy
or similar instrument or a reserve fund; provided that (i) the Company obtains (subject to the
provisions of Section 10.01(f) as if the Company was
substituted for the Master Servicer
solely for the purposes of such provision) an Opinion of Counsel (which need not be an opinion of
Independent counsel) to the effect that obtaining such substitute corporate guaranty, irrevocable
letter of credit, surety bond, insurance policy or similar instrument or reserve fund will not
cause either (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any
federal tax imposed on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860(F)(a)(1) of the Code or on
“contributions after the startup date” under Section 860(G)(d)(1) of the Code or (b) the Trust Fund
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding, and (ii) no such
substitution shall be made unless (A) the substitute Limited Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate
Loss Obligation is for an initial amount not less than the then current Amount Available and
contains provisions that are in all material respects equivalent to the original Limited Guaranty
or Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation (including that no portion of the fees, reimbursements
or other obligations under any such instrument will be borne by the Trust Fund), (B) the long term
debt obligations of any obligor of any substitute Limited Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate Loss
Obligation (if not supported by the Limited Guaranty) shall be rated at least the lesser of (a) the
rating of the long term debt obligations of [________] as of the date of issuance of the Limited
Guaranty and (b) the rating of the long term debt obligations of [________] at the date of such
substitution and (C) the Company obtains written confirmation from each nationally recognized
credit rating agency that rated the Class B Certificates at the request of the Company that such
substitution shall not lower the rating on the Class B Certificates below the lesser of (a)
the then-current rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by such rating agency and (b) the
original rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by such rating agency. Any replacement of the
Limited Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation pursuant to this Section shall be
accompanied by a written Opinion of Counsel to the substitute
K-2
guarantor or obligor, addressed to the Master Servicer and the Trustee, that such substitute
instrument constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the substitute guarantor or
obligor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and concerning such other matters as the Master
Servicer and the Trustee shall reasonably request. Neither the Company, the Master Servicer nor
the Trustee shall be obligated to substitute for or replace the Limited Guaranty or Subordinate
Certificate Loss Obligation under any circumstance.
Section 13.02. Amendments Relating to the Limited Guaranty. Notwithstanding Sections
11.01 or 13.01: (i) the provisions of this Article XIII may be amended, superseded or deleted, (ii)
the Limited Guaranty or Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation may be amended, reduced or
canceled, and (iii) any other provision of this Agreement which is related or incidental to the
matters described in this Article XIII may be amended in any manner; in each case by written
instrument executed or consented to by the Company and [_______________] but without the consent of
any Certificateholder and without the consent of the Master Servicer or the Trustee being required
unless any such amendment would impose any additional obligation on, or otherwise adversely affect
the interests of, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable; provided that the
Company shall also obtain a letter from each nationally recognized credit rating agency that rated
the Class B Certificates at the request of the Company to the effect that such amendment,
reduction, deletion or cancellation will not lower the rating on the Class B Certificates below the
lesser of (a) the then-current rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by such rating agency
and (b) the original rating assigned to the Class B Certificates by such rating agency, unless (A)
the Holder of 100% of the Class B Certificates is [_______________] or an Affiliate of
[_______________], or (B) such amendment, reduction, deletion or cancellation is made in accordance
with Section 11.01(e) and, provided further that the Company obtains (subject to the provisions of
Section 10.01(f) as if the Company was substituted for the Master Servicer solely for the purposes
of such provision), in the case of a material amendment or supercession (but not a reduction,
cancellation or deletion of the Limited Guaranty or the Subordinate Certificate Loss Obligation),
an Opinion of Counsel (which need not be an opinion of Independent counsel) to the effect that any
such amendment or supercession will not cause either (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)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after the startup date” under Section
860G(d)(1) of the Code or (b) the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding. A copy of any such instrument shall be provided to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer together with an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment complies with this Section
13.02.
