WITNESSETH THAT
In consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement,
the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to
the Trustee in return for the Certificates. For federal income tax purposes,
the Trust Fund (excluding the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund, the
Supplemental Loan Account and the Capitalized Interest Account) will consist
of two real estate mortgage investment conduits (each a "REMIC" or, in the
alternative, the "Lower Tier REMIC" and the "Master REMIC," respectively).
Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R Certificate, will represent
ownership of one or more regular interests in the Master REMIC for purposes of
the REMIC Provisions. The Class A-R Certificate represents ownership of the
sole class of residual interest in each REMIC created hereunder. The Master
REMIC will hold as assets the several classes of uncertificated Lower Tier
REMIC Interests (other than the Class LT-A-R Interests). The Lower Tier REMIC
will hold as assets all property related to the Trust Fund (excluding
interests (if any) in any Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund, the Supplemental
Loan Account and the Capitalized Interest Account). Each Lower Tier REMIC
Interest (other than the Class LT-A-R Interests) is hereby designated as a
regular interest in the Lower Tier REMIC as provided in the immediately
following table. The latest possible maturity date of all REMIC regular
interests created in this Agreement shall be the Latest Possible Maturity
Date.
The following table set forth characteristics of the Interests in the
Lower Tier REMIC (the "Lower Tier REMIC Interests"):

(1) Each Class X Lower Tier REMIC Interest will have an Initial Principal
Balance equal to 0.5% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. The
Class C Lower Tier REMIC Interest will have an Initial Principal Balance
equal to the excess of the initial aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans over the initial aggregate principal balances of the
Class X and Class Y Lower Tier REMIC Interests.
(2) This Lower Tier REMIC Interest will have an Interest Rate equal to the
weighted average of the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage
Loans.
(3) The principal balance for the Class LT-Y-1 Interest on the first
Distribution Date will be the Class LT-Y-1 Target Principal Balance for
such Distribution Date based on the Class LT-X-1 balance as set forth in
Note (1) above.
(4) The principal balance for the Class LT-Y-2 Interest on the first
Distribution Date will be the Class LT-Y-2 Target Principal Balance for
such Distribution Date based on the Class LT-X-2 balance as set forth in
Note (1) above.
(5) The LT-A-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in Lower Tier
REMIC. It has no principal balance and pays no principal or interest.
(6) For each Distribution Date, this Lower Tier REMIC Interest is entitled to
any Prepayment Charges paid on the Mortgage Loans.
On each Distribution Date, the Available Funds shall be distributed with
respect to the Lower Tier REMIC Interests in the following manner:
(1) Interest. Interest is to be distributed with respect to each Lower
Tier REMIC Interest at the rate, or according to the formulas, described
above;
(2) For each Distribution Date: Scheduled and unscheduled principal and
Realized Losses from the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated to: (a) the Class
LT-X-1 Interest, if the Class LT-X-1 Target Principal Balance (as calculated
for the Distribution Date) is exceeded by the principal balance of such
Interest for the prior Distribution Date, in such an amount as to cause the
principal balance of the Class LT-X-1 Interest to equal the Class LT-X-1
Target Principal Balance (as calculated for the Distribution Date), (b) the
Class LT-Y-1 Interest, if the Class LT-Y-1 Target Principal Balance (as
calculated for the Distribution Date) is exceeded by the principal balance of
such Interest for the prior Distribution Date, in such an amount as to cause
the principal balance of the Class LT-Y-1 Interest to equal the Class LT-Y-1
Target Principal Balance (as calculated for the Distribution Date), (c) the
Class LT-X-2 Interest, if the Class LT-X-2 Target Principal Balance (as
calculated for the Distribution Date) is exceeded by the principal balance of
such Interest for the prior Distribution Date, in such an amount as to cause
the principal balance of the Class LT-X-2 Interest to equal the Class LT-X-2
Target Principal Balance (as calculated for the Distribution Date), and (d)
the Class LT-Y-2 Interest, if the Class LT-Y-2 Target Principal Balance (as
calculated for the Distribution Date) is exceeded by the principal balance of
such Interest for the prior Distribution Date, in such an amount as to cause
the principal balance of the Class LT-Y-2 Interest to equal the Class LT-Y-2
Target Principal Balance (as calculated for the Distribution Date). If there
are insufficient scheduled and unscheduled principal collections and Realized
Losses from the Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date to make the
allocations to the Class LT-X-1, Class LT-Y-1, Class LT-X-2 or Class LT-Y-2
Interests required in the immediately preceding sentence, interest accrued in
respect of the Class LT-C-2 Interest will be paid as principal to the Class
LT-X-1, Class LT-Y-1, Class LT-X-2 or Class LT-Y-2 Interest as required in the
immediately preceding sentence. Any remaining scheduled and unscheduled
principal and Realized Losses from the Mortgage Loans
2
shall be allocated pro rata to the Class LT-X-1 Interest, Class LT-Y-1
Interest, Class LT-X-2 Interest, Class LT-Y-2 Interest and Class LT-C-2
Interest based on their principal balances following the allocations made in
the immediately preceding two sentences.

WAC Cap. The Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-3 Certificates for the
Interest Accrual Period for the first Distribution Date will be 5.0730%,
per annum, respectively. Solely for federal income tax purposes, the
Pass-
3
Through Rate for such Certificates on the first Distribution Date will
equal the fixed rates provided in the immediately preceding sentence.
(3) For each Interest Accrual Period for any Distribution Date, the

Period for the first Distribution Date will be 1.5746% per annum.
(4) The Class A-R Certificate will be issued as two separate certificates,
one with an initial Certificate Balance of $99.99 and the Tax Matters
Person Certificate with an initial Certificate Balance of $0.01.
(5) The Class 1-X and Class 2-X Certificates initially will have no Class
Certificate Balances and will bear interest on the Component Notional
Amounts of their respective Notional Amount Components. Solely for
federal income tax purposes each of the Class 1-X and Class 2-X
Certificates will have a notional balance equal to the sum of the
principal balances in respect of the Lower Tier REMIC Interests
(excluding the Class P-1 Interest).
(6) Interest will accrue with respect to the Class 1-X Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date in an amount
equal to the sum of the interest accrued on the Class 1-X IO-1 and Class
1-X IO-2 Components at their respective Pass-Through Rates for that
Distribution Date. Solely for federal income tax purposes, the Pass
Through Rate of the Class 1-X Certificates will equal the excess of (a)
the Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Loans
over (b) the product of 2 and the weighted average of the pass through
rates in respect of the Class LT-X-1 and Class LT-Y-1 Interests,
subjecting the Class LT-Y-1 Interest to a cap equal to zero.
(7) Interest will accrue with respect to the Class 2-X Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period related to each Distribution Date in an amount
equal to the interest accrued on the Class 2-X IO Component at its
Pass-Through Rate for that Distribution Date. Solely for federal income
tax purposes, the Pass Through Rate of the Class 2-X Certificates will
equal the excess of (a) the Weighted Average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate
of the Mortgage Loans over (b) the product of 2 and the weighted average
of the pass through rates in respect of the Class LT-X-2 and Class LT-Y-2
Interests, subjecting the Class LT-Y-2 Interest to a cap equal to zero.
(8) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Subordinated Certificates for
each Interest Accrual Period for any Distribution Date will be a per
annum rate equal to the lesser of (a) LIBOR plus the applicable
Pass-Through Margin and (b) the Net WAC Cap. The Pass-Through Rates for
the Class M, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4 and Class B-5
Certificates for the Interest Accrual Period for the first Distribution
Date will be 4.7400%, 5.1700%, 5.8200%, 5.8200%, 5.8200% and 5.8200% per
annum, respectively. Solely for federal income tax purposes, the
Pass-Through Rates for such Certificates on the first Distribution Date
will equal the fixed rates provided in the immediately preceding
sentence.
(9) The Class P Certificates will also have a notional amount that is equal
to $800,000,000.
(10) The Class P Certificates will not be entitled to any interest, but will
be entitled to 100% of any Prepayment Charges paid on the Mortgage Loans.
(11) Based on Notional Amount.
(12) The minimum denomination for the Class P Certificates is a 20% Percentage
Interest. Any Percentage Interest in excess of 20% is an authorized
denomination.

The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from
the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Master REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC
regular interest, without creating any shortfall--actual or potential (other
than for credit losses) to any REMIC regular interest. It is not intended that
the Class A-R Certificates be entitled to any cash flow pursuant to this
Agreement except as provided in Section 4.02(a)(1) hereunder.
For any purpose for which the Pass-Through Rates is calculated, the
interest rate on the Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately adjusted to account
for the difference between the monthly day count convention of the Mortgage
Loans and the monthly day count convention of the regular interests issued by
each of the REMICs. For purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rates for
each of the interests issued by REMIC, such rates shall be adjusted to equal a
monthly day count convention based on a 30 day month for each Due Period and a
360-day year so that the Mortgage Loans and all regular interests will be
using the same monthly day count convention.

(F) The executed UCC-3 financing statements or other
appropriate UCC financing statements required by state law,
evidencing a complete and unbroken line from the mortgagee to
the Trustee with evidence of recording thereon (or in a form
suitable for recordation).
In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan,
each Seller agrees that it will cause, at the Trustee's expense, the MERS(R)
System to indicate that the Mortgage Loans sold by such Seller to the
Depositor have been assigned by that Seller to the Trustee in accordance with
this Agreement (and any Supplemental Transfer Agreement, as applicable) for
the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case
of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in
such computer files the information required by the MERS(R) System to identify
the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans.
Each Seller further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Master
Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the
information referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan
sold by such Seller to the Depositor during the term of this Agreement unless
and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS
Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage,
(b) all interim recorded assignments or (c) the lender's title policy
(together with all riders thereto) satisfying the requirements of clause (ii),
(iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the
applicable public recording office in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above,
or because the title policy has not been delivered to either the Master
Servicer or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case of
clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, in the
case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, such original Mortgage or such interim
assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon
upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy thereof,
certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but in no event
shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim
assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant
recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date, or,
in the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following the Closing
Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver by
such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of the fact
that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording
office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related
Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the
Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee as promptly as possible
upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing
Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee (a)
from time to time additional original
43
documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b)
any other documents required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Master
Servicer to the Trustee. In the event that the original Mortgage is not
delivered and in connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage
Loan and the public recording office requires the presentation of a "lost
instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any equivalent document, because only
a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or
reconveyance, the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver or cause to be
executed and delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the
case where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or
in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording
office, Countrywide shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of such Mortgage
certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of
the original recorded Mortgage.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment,
and in any event, within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Trustee shall (i) as
the assignee thereof, affix the following language to each assignment of
Mortgage: "CWALT Series 2005-58, The Bank of New York, as trustee", (ii) cause
such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public
office for real property records and (iii) cause to be delivered for recording
in the appropriate public office for real property records the assignments of
the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with respect to any assignments of
Mortgage as to which the Trustee has not received the information required to
prepare such assignment in recordable form, the Trustee's obligation to do so
and to deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable
after receipt of such information and in any event within thirty (30) days
after receipt thereof and that the Trustee need not cause to be recorded any
assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan (a) the Mortgaged Property and
Mortgage File relating to which are located in California or (b) in any other
jurisdiction (including Puerto Rico) under the laws of which in the opinion of
counsel the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the
Trustee's and the Certificateholders' interest in the related Mortgage Loan.
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the
Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the
Trustee, will deposit in the Certificate Account the portion of such payment
that is required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 3.05.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within thirty
(30) days after the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans,
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and
Park Sienna) shall either (i) deliver to the Depositor, or at the Depositor's
direction, to the Trustee or other designee of the Depositor the Mortgage File
as required pursuant to this Section 2.01 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loan or (ii) either (A) substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan,
which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner and
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 (treating each Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section
2.03); provided, however, that if Countrywide fails to deliver a Mortgage File
for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the thirty (30) day period
provided in the prior sentence, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf
of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall use its best reasonable
efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided for in
Section 2.02 or in Section 2.03 shall not apply to the initial delivery of the
Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage
44
Loan, but rather Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada,
Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such
failure to deliver. At the end of such thirty (30) day period the Trustee
shall send a Delay Delivery Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loans delivered during such thirty (30) day period in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.02.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within twenty
(20) days after a Supplemental Transfer Date with respect to all of the
Supplemental Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor on such Supplemental
Transfer Date, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada,
Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall either (i) deliver to the Depositor, or at
the Depositor's direction, to the Trustee or other designee of the Depositor
the Mortgage File as required pursuant to this Section 2.01 for each Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) (A) substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for
the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loan, which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner and
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 (treating each Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section
2.03); provided, however, that if Countrywide fails to deliver a Mortgage File
for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the twenty (20) day period
provided in the prior sentence, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf
of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall use its best reasonable
efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided for in
Section 2.02 or in Section 2.03 shall not apply to the initial delivery of the
Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather Countrywide
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such failure to deliver. At the end
of such twenty (20) day period the Trustee shall send a Delay Delivery
Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such
twenty (20) day period in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.
(d) Subject to the execution and delivery of the related Supplemental
Transfer Agreement as provided in Section 2.01(e) hereof and the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, each Seller sells, transfers, assigns, sets over
and otherwise conveys to the Depositor, without recourse, on each Supplemental
Transfer Date, with respect to each Supplemental Mortgage Loan sold by such
Seller to the Depositor, all the right, title and interest of that Seller in
and to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans sold by it identified in such
Supplemental Transfer Agreement, including all interest and principal received
and receivable by such Seller on or with respect to the related Supplemental
Mortgage Loans on and after the related Supplemental Cut-off Date (to the
extent not applied in computing the Cut-off Date Principal Balance thereof) or
deposited into the Certificate Account by the related Seller, other than
principal and interest due on such Supplemental Mortgage Loans prior to the
related Supplemental Cut-off Date.
Immediately upon the conveyance of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans
referred to in the preceding paragraph, the Depositor sells, transfers,
assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for benefit of the
Certificateholders, without recourse, all right title and interest in all of
the Supplemental Mortgage Loans.
Each Seller has entered into this Agreement in consideration for the
purchase of the Mortgage Loans sold by such Seller to the Depositor and has
agreed to take the actions specified herein. The Depositor, concurrently with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby
45
sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the use and
benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all right title and
interest in the portion of the Trust Fund not otherwise conveyed to the Trust
Fund pursuant to Sections 2.01(a) or (b).
(e) Upon five (5) Business Days written notice to the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is not a Seller) and
the Rating Agencies, on any other Business Day during the Conveyance Period
designated by Countrywide, Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna, if
applicable, the Depositor and the Trustee shall complete, execute and deliver
a Supplemental Transfer Agreement so long as no Rating Agency has provided
notice that the execution and delivery of such Supplemental Transfer Agreement
will result in a reduction or withdrawal of the any ratings assigned to the
Certificates. After the execution and delivery of such Supplemental Transfer
Agreement, on the Supplemental Transfer Date, the Trustee shall set aside in
the Supplemental Loan Account an amount equal to the Aggregate Supplemental
Purchase Amount.
The transfer of Supplemental Mortgage Loans and the other property and
rights relating to them on a Supplemental Transfer Date is subject to the
satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(i) each Supplemental Mortgage Loan conveyed on such Supplemental
Transfer Date satisfies the representations and warranties applicable to
it under this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to a breach
of a representation and warranty with respect to a Supplemental Mortgage
Loan, the obligation under Section 2.03(c) of this Agreement of
Countrywide, Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna, if applicable, to
cure, repurchase or replace such Supplemental Mortgage Loan shall
constitute the sole remedy against such Seller respecting such breach
available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee;
(ii) the Trustee, the Underwriter and the Rating Agencies are
provided with an Opinion of Counsel or Opinions of Counsel with respect
to the tax treatment of the Trust Fund, to be delivered as provided
pursuant to Section 2.01(f);
(iii) the Rating Agencies and the Underwriter are provided with an
Opinion of Counsel or Opinions of Counsel with respect to the validity of
the conveyance of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans conveyed on such
Supplemental Transfer Date, to be delivered as provided pursuant to
Section 2.01(f);
(iv) the execution and delivery of such Supplemental Transfer
Agreement or conveyance of the related Supplemental Mortgage Loans does
not result in a reduction or withdrawal of any ratings assigned to the
Certificates by the Rating Agencies;
(v) the Supplemental Mortgage Loans conveyed on such Supplemental
Transfer Date were selected in a manner reasonably believed not to be
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders;
(vi) no Supplemental Mortgage Loan conveyed on such Supplemental
Transfer Date was 30 or more days delinquent;
46
(vii) following the conveyance of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans on
such Supplemental Transfer Date to the Trust Fund, the characteristics of
the Mortgage Loans will comply with the Pool Characteristics (including
the permitted variances listed therein); provided, that for the purpose
of making these calculations, the characteristics for any Initial
Mortgage Loan made will be taken as of the Initial Cut-off Date and the
characteristics for any Supplemental Mortgage Loan will be taken as of
the related Supplemental Cut-off Date;
(viii) none of the Sellers or the Depositor shall be insolvent or
shall be rendered insolvent as a result of such transfer; and
(ix) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's
Certificate confirming the satisfaction of each of these conditions
precedent.
The Trustee shall not be required to investigate or otherwise verify
compliance with these conditions, except for its own receipt of documents
specified above, and shall be entitled to rely on the required Officer's
Certificate.
(f) Within seven Business Days after each Supplemental Transfer Date,
upon (1) delivery to the Trustee by the Depositor or Countrywide of the
Opinions of Counsel referred to in Sections 2.01(e)(ii) and (iii), (2)
delivery to the Trustee by Countrywide of a revised Mortgage Loan Schedule
reflecting the Supplemental Mortgage Loans conveyed on such Supplemental
Transfer Date and (3) delivery to the Trustee by the Depositor of an Officer's
Certificate confirming the satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent
set forth in this Section 2.01(f), the Trustee shall pay to each Seller the
Aggregate Supplemental Transfer Amount used to purchase Supplemental Mortgage
Loans from such Seller from those funds that were set aside in the
Supplemental Loan Account pursuant to Section 2.01(e). The positive
difference, if any, between the Aggregate Supplemental Transfer Amount and the
Aggregate Supplemental Purchase Amount shall be reinvested by the Trustee in
the Supplemental Loan Account and shall remain designated as a portion of the
Supplemental Loan Amount.
The Trustee shall not be required to investigate or otherwise verify
compliance with the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph, except
for its own receipt of documents specified above, and shall be entitled to
rely on the required Officer's Certificate.
Within thirty days after the final Supplemental Transfer Date, the
Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee a letter of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants stating whether or not the Supplemental
Mortgage Loans conveyed to the Trust Fund conform to the characteristics in
Section 2.01(e)(vi) and (vii).
(g) Neither the Depositor nor the Trust will acquire or hold any Mortgage
Loan that would violate the representations made by Countrywide set forth in
clauses (50) and (51) of Schedule III-A hereto.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the
Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-1 (an "Initial
Certification") and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and
the other documents delivered to it constituting
47
the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such other assets as are
included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it will
maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of California, unless
otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) an Initial Certification
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F. Based on its review and examination,
and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the
Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and
relate to such Initial Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall be under no duty or
obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine,
enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have
actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than
what they purport to be on their face.
On or about the thirtieth (30th) day after the Closing Date, the Trustee
shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its
own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Delay
Delivery Certification with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit G-1 (a "Delay Delivery Certification"), with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon.
Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver
to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf and
on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Final Certification
with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit H-1 (a "Final Certification"), with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
If, in the course of such review, the Trustee finds any document
constituting a part of a Mortgage File that does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final
Certification; provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any
determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all
right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable
form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. Countrywide (on
its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
shall promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was
so notified of such defect and, if Countrywide does not correct or cure such
defect within such period, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of
Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall either (a) substitute for the
related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from
the date Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase
Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such
substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date,
except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents
by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the
Master Servicer or Countrywide (on its own behalf and
48
on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) and the Trustee over
the location or status of the recorded document, then such substitution or
purchase shall occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall
deliver written notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing
Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a) that has not been returned by the
appropriate recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to
location or status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every
90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee.
Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above
shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.05, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a)
above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of
a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. No substitution
is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for
such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited
by Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and Park Sienna) in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution
Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the
month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with
respect thereto in the form of Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the
related Mortgage File to Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) and shall execute and deliver at
Countrywide's (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and Park Sienna) request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared
by Countrywide, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest
in Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and Park Sienna), or its designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions Countrywide
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
repurchases an Initial Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of
the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and
Park Sienna) or its designee and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from
registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules and
regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System Countrywide
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
or its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
Upon delivery of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans pursuant to a
Supplemental Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of the
documents identified in any Supplemental Certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit F-2 and declare that it will hold such documents and the
other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it
will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for
the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage
Notes in the State of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating
Agencies.
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Supplemental Transfer
Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Supplemental
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2. Based on its review
and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Supplemental
Certification, the Trustee shall acknowledge that such
49
documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Supplemental
Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect,
review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to
determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the
represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real
estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their
face.
On or about the twentieth (20th) day after the Supplemental Transfer
Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and
Park Sienna) a Delay Delivery Certification with respect to the Supplemental
Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-2, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon.
Not later than 90 days after the final Supplemental Transfer Date, the
Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
a Final Certification with respect to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit H-2, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
If, in the course of such review of the Mortgage Files relating to the
Supplemental Mortgage Loans, the Trustee finds any document constituting a
part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01,
the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification;
provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any determination as to
whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and
to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is
sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof
under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. Countrywide (on its own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall
promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so
notified of such defect and, if Countrywide does not correct or cure such
defect within such period, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of
Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall either (a) substitute for the
related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from
the date Countrywide (on its own behalf or on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase
Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such
substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date,
except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents
by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the
Master Servicer or Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) and the Trustee over the location or
status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall
occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written
notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating
each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate
recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or
status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days
thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any
such substitution pursuant to (a)
50
above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the
delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05
hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be
effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for
Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. No substitution is permitted
to be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.
The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and
Park Sienna) in the Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution
Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the
month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and certification with
respect thereto in the form of Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the
related Mortgage File to Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) and shall execute and deliver at
Countrywide's (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and Park Sienna) request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared
by Countrywide, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest
in Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and Park Sienna) , or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions Countrywide
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
repurchases a Supplemental Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver an
assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from
MERS to Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from
registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules and
regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System Countrywide
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
or its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
(b) The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File
in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the
execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or
instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the
Master Servicer from time to time.
(c) It is understood and agreed that the respective obligations of each
Seller to substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan sold to the
Depositor by it that does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 above
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the
Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against that Seller.

adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in that Mortgage
Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to
the other parties. Each Seller hereby covenants that within 90 days of the
earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a
breach of any representation or warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan sold
by it pursuant to Section 2.03(a) and with respect to a breach of a
representation and warranty with respect to a Supplemental Mortgage Loan sold
by it under Section 2.01(e)(i) which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in that Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such
breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall,
(i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the
Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the
manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii)
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at
the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that any
such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the
delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05
hereof, if any, and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be
effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for
Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N and the Mortgage File for any
such Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller repurchasing a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall promptly
52
reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably
incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the
remedies for such breach. With respect to the representations and warranties
described in this Section which are made to the best of a Seller's knowledge,
if it is discovered by either the Depositor, a Seller or the Trustee that the
substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such
inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage
Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding that
Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such
representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the
applicable representation or warranty.
With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans sold to the
Depositor by a Seller, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall deliver to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related
assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are
required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage
assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made
in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled
Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
related Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly
payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter that
Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan
Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and
the related Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) with respect
to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the
Certificate Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in
connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the
Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related
Seller and shall execute and deliver at such Seller's direction such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by Countrywide (on its own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna), in each
case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in that Seller, or
its designee, the Trustee's interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted
for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
For any month in which a Seller substitutes one or more Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer
will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of all Substitute Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor by that Seller
as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans repurchased by that Seller (after
application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in
the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the "Substitution
Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed
Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account by Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
53
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) on or before the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar
month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased
or replaced hereunder.
In the event that a Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the
Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 3.05 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month during which that Seller
became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and
upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File
held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure,
repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and
is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons respecting
such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on
their behalf.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03
shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the
Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect
to each Initial Mortgage Loan as of the date of this Agreement or such other
date set forth in this Agreement that as of the Closing Date, and following
the transfer of the Initial Mortgage Loans to it by each Seller, the Depositor
had good title to the Initial Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were
subject to no offsets, defenses or counterclaims.
The Depositor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Trustee all of
its rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans including, without limitation,
the representations and warranties of each Seller made pursuant to Section
2.03(a) hereof, together with all rights of the Depositor to require a Seller
to cure any breach thereof or to repurchase or substitute for any affected
Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any of
the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04
(referred to herein as a "breach"), which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating
Agency.
SECTION 2.05. Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 shall be made more than
90 days after the Closing Date unless
54
Countrywide delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of
Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee or the Trust Fund,
addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution will not (i)
result in the imposition of the tax on "prohibited transactions" on the Trust
Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as defined in sections
860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC
created under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificates are outstanding.
(b) Upon discovery by the Depositor, a Seller, the Master Servicer, or
the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering
such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of
discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection
therewith, the Trustee shall require Countrywide (on its own behalf and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) at its option, to either
(i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with respect to
substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected
Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of
such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03. The Trustee shall
reconvey to Countrywide the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant to this
Section in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would
a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty
contained in Section 2.03.
SECTION 2.06. Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust
Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and
delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in
authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire
ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and
exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and
future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this
Agreement.
SECTION 2.07. REMIC Matters.
The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and "latest
possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests
created hereby. The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall
be the Closing Date. The "tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC
hereunder shall be the Trustee and the Trustee shall hold the Tax Matters
Person Certificate. Each REMIC's fiscal year shall be the calendar year.
SECTION 2.08. Covenants of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee as
follows:
(a) the Master Servicer shall comply in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of
the insurer under each Required Insurance Policy; and
(b) no written information, certificate of an officer, statement
furnished in writing or written report delivered to the Depositor, any
affiliate of the Depositor or the Trustee and
55
prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement will contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to make such information, certificate, statement or report not misleading.
56
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage
loan servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the
Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or
through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02, subject to the terms of this
Agreement (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and
documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and
assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the
manner provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds
and other Liquidation Proceeds (which for the purpose of this Section 3.01
includes any Subsequent Recoveries), and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or
other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any
Mortgage Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take any action
that is inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The
Master Servicer shall represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in
the same manner as it protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own
portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan,
and shall not make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any
Mortgage Loan which would cause any REMIC created under this Agreement to fail
to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any tax under section
860F(a) or section 860G(d) of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Master Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the
Depositor and the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor
and the Trustee, when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its
reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge and
all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with
respect to the Mortgaged Properties held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the
Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery
by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master
Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans to the extent that the
Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver such documents
pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such documents, the
Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them to
the Master Servicer. 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(R) System, or cause the removal from
the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) 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.
57
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master
Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the
purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further
as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if
any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the
Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose
of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to
the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
SECTION 3.02. Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Subservicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage
Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however,
that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing
agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner
consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated under this Agreement.
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. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of
the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements
between the Master Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken
through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated
and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or
liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by
virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and
under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All actions of each
Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be
performed as an agent of the Master Servicer with the same force and effect as
if performed directly by the Master Servicer.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed
to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the
Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such
payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.03. Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the
Master Servicer.
The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to,
perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement and in connection with any such defaulted
obligation to exercise the related rights of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of
its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the
Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor the Depositor shall have
any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master
Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the
performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.
58
SECTION 3.04. Trustee to Act as Master Servicer.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the Master Servicer under this Agreement (including by reason of an Event of
Default), the Trustee or its successor shall then assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement arising thereafter
(except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 or any acts or omissions of the predecessor
Master Servicer under this Agreement), (ii) obligated to make Advances if it
is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate
repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans under this Agreement including,
but not limited to, repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 2.02 or 2.03, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and
warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement). Any such assumption
shall be subject to Section 7.02. If the Master Servicer shall for any reason
no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of
Default), the Trustee or its successor shall succeed to any rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under each subservicing agreement.
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 or substitute subservicing
agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an
accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute
subservicing agreement to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.05. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Certificate Account;
Distribution Account; Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund; Supplemental Loan
Account; Capitalized Interest Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with
the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to
collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage
Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy.
Consistent with the foregoing, 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 of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the due
dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180
days; provided, however, that the Master Servicer cannot extend the maturity
of any such Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final payment is due on
the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In the event of any
such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make Advances on the related
Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 during the
scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage
Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. The Master
Servicer shall not be required to institute or join in litigation with respect
to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage Note or
otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a
taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision
of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required
is prohibited by applicable law.
59
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate
Account into which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited
no later than two Business Days after receipt (or, if the current long-term
credit rating of Countrywide is reduced below "A-" by S&P or Fitch or "A3" by
Xxxxx'x, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily
basis within one Business Day of receipt), except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Agreement, the following payments and collections remitted by
Subservicers or received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts
required to be deposited under this Agreement:
(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans,
including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net
of the related Master Servicing Fee and any lender paid mortgage
insurance premiums;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation
Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair
of a Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with
the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures;
(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.05(e) in connection with any losses on Permitted
Investments;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.09(c) and in respect of net monthly rental income
from REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11;
(vi) all Substitution Adjustment Amounts;
(vii) all Advances made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
4.01;
(viii) all Prepayment Charges and Master Servicer Prepayment Charge
Payment Amounts; and
(ix) any other amounts required to be deposited under this
Agreement.
In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a
buydown agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the
monthly payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause
funds to be deposited into the Certificate Account in an amount required to
cause an amount of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan
equal to the amount of interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from
the preceding Due Date at the Mortgage Rate net of the related Master
Servicing Fee.
The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of prepayment penalties,
late payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by
the Master Servicer. In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any
amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the
institution
60
maintaining the Certificate Account to withdraw such amount from the
Certificate Account, any provision in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by
delivering written notice thereof to the Trustee or such other institution
maintaining the Certificate Account which describes the amounts deposited in
error in the Certificate Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate
records with respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All
funds deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held in trust for the
Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain in the Distribution
Account the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ix);
(ii) any amount deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
3.05(e) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be
deposited in the Distribution Account.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required
to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount
from the Distribution Account, any provision in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an Officer's
Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in error in
the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution Account
shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders until
disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.08. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals
from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.
(e) Each institution at which the Certificate Account, Supplemental Loan
Account, Capitalized Interest Account or the Distribution Account is
maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing by the Master
Servicer in Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than (i) in
the case of the Certificate Account, the second Business Day next preceding
the related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted
Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account,
then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day
next preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date) and (ii) in the case of
the Distribution Account, Supplemental Loan Account and Capitalized Interest
Account, the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date (except that if
such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains
such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later
than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed
of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the
name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and
gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit
in the Certificate Account and the Distribution Account shall be for the
benefit
61
of the Master Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it
monthly as provided in this Agreement, and all income and gain net of any
losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the
Supplemental Loan Account and the Capitalized Interest Account shall be for
the benefit of the Depositor and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided
in Section 3.05(i) and Section 3.05(j), respectively. The amount of any
realized losses in the Certificate Account, Supplemental Loan Account,
Capitalized Interest Account or the Distribution Account incurred in any such
account in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the
Master Servicer in the Certificate Account or paid to the Trustee for deposit
into the Distribution Account, Supplemental Loan Account or Capitalized
Interest Account, as applicable. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall
not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment
or lack of investment of funds held in the Certificate Account, Supplemental
Loan Account, Capitalized Interest Account or the Distribution Account and
made in accordance with this Section 3.05.
(f) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, each Seller,
each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of
the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give
notice to the Master Servicer, each Seller, each Rating Agency and the
Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account
prior to any change thereof.
(g) On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its
name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Floating Rate
Certificates and the Class 1-X Certificates, the Carryover Shortfall Reserve
Fund and shall deposit therein, upon receipt from or on behalf of the
Depositor, an amount equal to $1,000. All funds on deposit in the Carryover
Shortfall Reserve Fund shall (x) be held separate and apart from, and shall
not be commingled with, any other moneys, including without limitation, other
moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and (y) remain
uninvested. The deposit of $1,629,560.94 that is distributed on the first
Distribution Date will be treated as paid from the Carryover Shortfall Reserve
Fund to the Master REMIC and from the Master REMIC to each Class of Floating
Rate Certificates.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Carryover
Shortfall Reserve Fund all amounts otherwise distributable to the Class 1-X
IO-1 and Class 1-X IO-2 Components on such Distribution Date.
The Trustee shall make withdrawals from the Carryover Shortfall Reserve
Fund to make distributions pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(4). Upon the earlier of
(i) the retirement of the LIBOR Certificates and (ii) the termination of the
Trust Fund in accordance with Section 9.01, the Trustee shall distribute to
the Depositor all monies remaining on deposit in the Carryover Shortfall
Reserve Fund after making the distributions specified in Section 4.02(a)(4).
(h) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Class P
Certificateholders, a Principal Reserve Fund in the name of the Trustee. On
the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deposit into the Principal Reserve Fund
$100. Funds on deposit in the Principal Reserve Fund shall not be invested.
(i) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Supplemental Loan Account. On the Closing Date
Countrywide shall remit the Supplemental Amount to the Trustee for deposit in
the Supplemental Loan Account. On each Supplemental
62
Transfer Date, upon satisfaction of the conditions for such Supplemental
Transfer Date set forth in Section 2.01(e), with respect to the related
Supplemental Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall pay to each Seller selling
Supplemental Mortgage Loans to the Depositor on such Supplemental Transfer
Date the portion of the Aggregate Supplemental Transfer Amount held in escrow
pursuant to Section 2.01(e) as payment of the purchase price for the
Supplemental Mortgage Loans sold by such Seller. If at any time the Depositor
becomes aware that the Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance of Supplemental
Mortgage Loans reflected on any Supplemental Transfer Agreement exceeds the
actual Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance of the relevant Supplemental
Mortgage Loans, the Depositor may so notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall
redeposit into the Supplemental Loan Account the excess reported to it by the
Depositor.
If any funds remain in the Supplemental Loan Account at the end of the
Conveyance Period, to the extent that they represent earnings on the amounts
originally deposited into the Supplemental Loan Account, the Trustee shall
distribute them to the order of the Depositor. The remaining funds shall be
transferred to the Distribution Account to be included as part of principal
distributions to the Senior Certificates, to the extent of the related
Remaining Supplemental Loan Amount.
(j) On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its
name, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Capitalized
Interest Account and shall deposit therein, upon receipt from or on behalf of
the Depositor, an amount equal to $1,629,560.94. On the first Distribution
Date, the Trustee shall transfer from the Capitalized Interest Account to the
Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund (prior to making any distributions from the
Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund on such Distribution Date) an amount equal to
the lesser of (i) all funds on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account and
(ii) $1,629,560.94. Any amounts remaining in the Capitalized Interest Account
after making such transfer shall be remitted to the Depositor on the first
Distribution Date. All funds on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account
shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any
other moneys, including without limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement. On the Business Day after the first Distribution
Date, the Trustee shall terminate the Capitalized Interest Account.
SECTION 3.06. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow
Accounts.
(a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative
of current law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein all
collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for the
payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items
for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the
Master Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in
violation of applicable law.
(b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be
made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to
reimburse the Master Servicer out of related collections for any payments made
pursuant to Sections 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance
premiums) and 3.09 (with respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any
Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest, if required by
law or the
63
terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in
the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. The Escrow
Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.
(c) The Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section
3.06(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors 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
advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be
recoverable by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or otherwise.
SECTION 3.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
the Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall afford each Seller, the Depositor and the
Trustee reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other matters
relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but
only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office
designated by the Master Servicer.
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer will
provide to each Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner that is a savings
and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and reasonable
access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
sufficient to permit such Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner to comply
with applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with
respect to investment in the Certificates; provided that the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder and/or
Certificate Owner for actual expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in
providing such reports and access.
SECTION 3.08. Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account; the
Distribution Account and the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund.
(a) The Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the
Certificate Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to the Master Servicer (to the extent not previously
retained by the Master Servicer) the servicing compensation to which it
is entitled pursuant to Section 3.14 and to pay to the Master Servicer,
as additional servicing compensation, earnings on or investment income
with respect to funds in or credited to the Certificate Account;
(ii) to reimburse each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee for
unreimbursed Advances made by it, such right of reimbursement pursuant to
this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the Mortgage
Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made;
(iii) to reimburse each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee for
any Nonrecoverable Advance previously made by it;
64
(iv) to reimburse the Master Servicer for Insured Expenses from the
related Insurance Proceeds;
(v) to reimburse the Master Servicer for (a) unreimbursed Servicing
Advances, the Master Servicer's right to reimbursement pursuant to this
clause (a) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being limited to amounts
received on such Mortgage Loan(s) that represent late recoveries of the
payments for which such advances were made pursuant to Section 3.01 or
Section 3.06 and (b) for unpaid Master Servicing Fees as provided in
Section 3.11;
(vi) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or
property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to
Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.11, all amounts received on such Mortgage Loan
after the date of such purchase;
(vii) to reimburse the Sellers, the Master Servicer or the Depositor
for expenses incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant to Section
6.03;
(viii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Certificate Account

deposit in the Distribution Account; and
(x) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
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 Certificate Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii),
(iv), (v) and (vi). Prior to making any withdrawal from the Certificate
Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount
of any previous Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans(s), and
their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.
(b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account for
distributions to Certificateholders in the manner specified in this Agreement
(and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that
it is authorized to withhold pursuant to the second to last paragraph of
Section 8.11). In addition, the Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals
from the Distribution Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee for the related Distribution
Date;
(ii) to pay to the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation, earnings on or the investment income with respect to funds
in the Distribution Account;
(iii) to withdraw and return to the Master Servicer any amount
deposited in the Distribution Account and not required to be deposited
therein;
65
(iv) to reimburse the Trustee for any unreimbursed Advances made by
it pursuant to Section 4.01(b) hereof, such right of reimbursement
pursuant to this subclause (iv) being limited to (x) amounts received on
the related Mortgage Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was
made and (y) amounts not otherwise reimbursed to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 3.08(a)(ii) hereof;
(v) to reimburse the Trustee for any Nonrecoverable Advance
previously made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(b) hereof, such
right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (v) being limited to
amounts not otherwise reimbursed to the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.08(a)(iii) hereof; and
(vi) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon
termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
(c) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Carryover Shortfall Reserve
Fund for distribution to the LIBOR Certificates and the Class 1-X Certificates
in the manner specified in Section 4.02(a)(4) (and to withhold from the
amounts so withdrawn the amount of any taxes that it is authorized to retain
pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.11). In addition, the Trustee may
from time to time make withdrawals from the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund
for the following purposes:
(i) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Carryover Shortfall
Reserve Fund and not required to be deposited therein; and
(ii) to clear and terminate the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund
upon the retirement of LIBOR Certificates and the Class 1-X Certificates
pursuant to Section 9.01.
(d) On the Business Day before the Class P Principal Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall transfer from the Principal Reserve Fund to the Distribution
Account $100 and shall distribute such amount to the Class P Certificates on
the Class P Principal Distribution Date. Following the distributions to be
made in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall then
terminate the Principal Reserve Fund.
(e) Immediately after the first Distribution Date, the Trustee shall (i)
withdraw from the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund an amount equal to the
amount on deposit in the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund, minus $1,000 and
(ii) distribute such amount to Countrywide Home Loans, Inc.
SECTION 3.09. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary
Insurance Policies.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage
Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least
equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (y) the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, including any Deferred Interest, and
(z) an amount such that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to
prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. Each
such policy of standard hazard insurance shall contain, or have an
accompanying endorsement that contains, a standard
66
mortgagee clause. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any such
policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of
the related Mortgaged Property or amounts released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer
in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating
monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee
for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs
shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of late payments by the
related Mortgagor or out of the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan
or Subsequent Recoveries to the extent permitted by Section 3.08. It is
understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to
be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of
a Mortgage other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
If the Mortgaged Property is located at the time of origination of the
Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such
area is participating in the national flood insurance program, the Master
Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such
Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least
of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii)
the replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged
Property, and (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program.
(b) The Master Servicer shall not 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, would have been covered
thereunder. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such
Primary Insurance Policy 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 a Qualified Insurer.
Except with respect to any Lender PMI Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer
shall not be required to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy (i) with
respect to any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal to
80% as of any date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new
appraised value or (ii) if maintaining such Primary Insurance Policy is
prohibited by applicable law. With respect to the Lender PMI Mortgage Loans,
the Master Servicer shall maintain the Primary Insurance Policy for the life
of such Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise provided for in the related Mortgage
Note or prohibited by law.
The Master Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums
on each Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable
shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related proceeds of
liquidation and Subsequent Recoveries.
(c) In connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the Trustee
and Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance
Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting
67
defaulted Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under
any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Certificate Account.
SECTION 3.10. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property
subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer
shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, 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, the Master
Servicer is not required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage
Loan if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or
is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the
Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee
under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such
Mortgage Note or Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that
the Master Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale
clause, or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely
affected, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Master
Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), to take or enter into an
assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such
property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable
state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage
Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Master Servicer
enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The
Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.10(b), is also authorized with the prior
approval of the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a
substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted
as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this
Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Master Servicer
reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the Master Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale
clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.10(a), in any case in which a
Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such
Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the
Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required
releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to
the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute
the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to
be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note
or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out
the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any
applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged
Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material
term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition, the substitute
Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Master Servicer
in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with
each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered
to the Trustee for execution
68
by it, the Master Servicer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate signed by a
Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of this subsection have been
met in connection therewith. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that
any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding
to the Trustee the original of such substitution or assumption agreement,
which in the case of the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File
and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part
thereof. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer for entering into an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the
Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
SECTION 3.11. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of
Certain Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the
Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments.
In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer
shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or
advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities and meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required
Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure 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 after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that
such expenses will be recoverable to it through the proceeds of liquidation of
the Mortgage Loan and Subsequent Recoveries (respecting which it shall have
priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Certificate Account). The Master
Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it
in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to
reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the proceeds of liquidation of
the Mortgage Loan and Subsequent Recoveries with respect to the related
Mortgaged Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If
the Master Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master
Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure is located within a one-mile radius of any site listed in the
Expenditure Plan for the Hazardous Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or
other site with environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Master
Servicer, the Master Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property,
consider such risks and only take action in accordance with its established
environmental review procedures.
With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee's name shall
be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder
and not in its individual capacity. The Master Servicer shall ensure that the
title to such REO Property references the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trustee's capacity thereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO
Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected
by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same
manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO
Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of
the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof,
as the Master Servicer deems to be in the
69
best interest of the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of
such REO Property. The Master Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the
Trustee a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented
showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in
connection with the maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is
necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements of
the REMIC Provisions. The net monthly rental income, if any, from such REO
Property shall be deposited in the Certificate Account no later than the close
of business on each Determination Date. The Master Servicer shall perform the
tax reporting and withholding required by sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code
with respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by
section 6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest
from individuals and any tax reporting required by section 6050P of the Code
with respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial
entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be required, in
the form required, and delivering the same to the Trustee for filing.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property as
soon as practicable in a manner that maximizes the Liquidation Proceeds
thereof, but in no event later than three years after its acquisition by the
Trust Fund. In that event, the Trustee shall have been supplied with an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such
Mortgaged Property subsequent to a three-year period, if applicable, will not
result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC
hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding, and that the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged
Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel)
after the expiration of such three-year period. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund
shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for
the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or
pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal,
state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property
under section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer has
agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the
imposition of any such taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor
is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code, 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.
The decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage
Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that the
proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing
such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO
Properties, net of reimbursement to the Master Servicer for expenses
70
incurred (including any property or other taxes) in connection with such
management and net of unreimbursed Master Servicing Fees, Advances and
Servicing Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and
interest on the related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as
though such Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be
deemed, for all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account of
principal and interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited
into the Certificate Account. To the extent the net income received during any
calendar month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal
and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan
for such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial
prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.
The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any
income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of
priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Master Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Master
Servicer or the Trustee for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the
Certificate Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that
were previously withdrawn by the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to
Section 3.08(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued
and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or
any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property, at the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the end of the Due Period
concluding in the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed;
and fifth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds,
if any, from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by
the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section
3.14.
The Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to
purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan that is 151
days or more delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer may only exercise this right on or before
the next to the last day of the calendar month in which such Mortgage Loan
became 151 days delinquent (such month, the "Eligible Repurchase Month");
provided further, that any such Mortgage Loan that becomes current but
thereafter becomes delinquent may be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant
to this Section in any ensuing Eligible Repurchase Month. The Purchase Price
for any Mortgage Loan purchased under this Section 3.11 shall be deposited in
the Certificate Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of a certificate from
the Master Servicer in the form of Exhibit N to this Agreement, shall release
or cause to be released to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related
Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser of such
Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the purchaser of
such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Trustee's right, title and
interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and documents related
thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for security.
The purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan,
and all security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee
or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.
(b) The Master Servicer may agree to a modification of any Mortgage Loan
(the "Modified Mortgage Loan") if (i) the modification is in lieu of a
refinancing, (ii) the Mortgage Rate on the Modified Mortgage Loan is
approximately a prevailing market rate for
71
newly-originated mortgage loans having similar terms and (iii) the Master
Servicer purchases the Modified Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund as described
below. Effective immediately after the modification, and, in any event, on the
same Business Day on which the modification occurs, all interest of the
Trustee in the Modified Mortgage Loan shall automatically be deemed
transferred and assigned to the Master Servicer and all benefits and burdens
of ownership thereof, including the right to accrued interest thereon from the
date of modification and the risk of default thereon, shall pass to the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee a
certification of a Servicing Officer to the effect that all requirements of
this paragraph have been satisfied with respect to the Modified Mortgage Loan.
For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee shall account for such purchase
as a prepayment in full of the Modified Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer shall deposit the Purchase Price for any Modified
Mortgage Loan in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05 within one
Business Day after the purchase of the Modified Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt by
the Trustee of written notification of any such deposit signed by a Servicing
Officer, the Trustee shall release to the Master Servicer the related Mortgage
File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment,
in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Master
Servicer any Modified Mortgage Loan previously transferred and assigned
pursuant hereto. The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to indemnify the
Trust Fund against any liability for any "prohibited transaction" taxes and
any related interest, additions, and penalties imposed on the Trust Fund
established hereunder as a result of any modification of a Mortgage Loan
effected pursuant to this subsection (b), any holding of a Modified Mortgage
Loan by the Trust Fund or any purchase of a Modified Mortgage Loan by the
Master Servicer (but such obligation shall not prevent the Master Servicer or
any other appropriate Person from in good faith contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Master Servicer from
withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of
such proceedings). The Master Servicer shall have no right of reimbursement
for any amount paid pursuant to the foregoing indemnification, except to the
extent that the amount of any tax, interest, and penalties, together with
interest thereon, is refunded to the Trust Fund or the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.12. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or 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 by delivering, or causing to be delivered a "Request for
Release" substantially in the form of Exhibit N of this Agreement. Upon
receipt of such request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related
Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the Master
Servicer's direction execute and deliver to the Master Servicer the request
for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage
or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by
the Master Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of
cancellation on the Mortgage Note. The Master Servicer is authorized to cause
the removal from the registration on the MERS(R) 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. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument
of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related
Mortgagor. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such
72
purpose, collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or
errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release
of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any
corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents
included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall, upon delivery to the Trustee
of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M signed by a Servicing
Officer, release the Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. Subject to the
further limitations set forth below, the Master Servicer shall cause the
Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee when the
need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage
Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Certificate
Account, in which case the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a
Request for Release in the form of Exhibit N, signed by a Servicing Officer.
If the Master Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure
proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or
any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce
any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or
otherwise available at law or in equity.
SECTION 3.13. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master
Servicer to be Held for the Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all
documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the
possession of the Master Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to
the Trustee for any funds received by the Master Servicer or which otherwise
are collected by the Master Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection
of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds and any
Subsequent Recoveries, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in
the Certificate Account, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on
behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property
of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The
Master Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any
Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Certificate Account,
Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or
may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy,
writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or
otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds
collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any
such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.14. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Certificate Account an amount equal
to the Master Servicing Fee;
73
provided, that the aggregate Master Servicing Fee with respect to any
Distribution Date shall be reduced (i) by an amount equal to the aggregate of
the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, with respect to such Distribution
Date, but not to exceed the Compensating Interest for that Distribution Date,
and (ii) with respect to the first Distribution Date, an amount equal to any
amount to be deposited into the Distribution Account by the Depositor pursuant
to Section 2.01(a) and not so deposited.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of Excess Proceeds,
prepayment penalties, assumption fees, late payment charges and all income and
gain net of any losses realized from Permitted Investments shall be retained
by the Master Servicer to the extent not required to be deposited in the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05. The Master Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its master
servicing activities hereunder (including payment of any premiums for hazard
insurance and any Primary Insurance Policy and maintenance of the other forms
of insurance coverage required by this Agreement) and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in this Agreement.
SECTION 3.15. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Master Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to
comparable regulatory authorities supervising Certificateholders and/or
Certificate Owners and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the
FDIC and such other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC.
Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and
prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices
designated by the Master Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the
obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the
Master Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of
such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
SECTION 3.16. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee on or
before 80 days after the end of the Master Servicer's fiscal year, commencing
with its 2005 fiscal year, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to the signer
thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the
preceding calendar year and of the performance of the Master Servicer under
this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision and (ii) to the
best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer
has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year,
or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof. The Trustee shall forward a copy of each such statement to each
Rating Agency.
SECTION 3.17. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Statement;
Financial Statements.
On or before 80 days after the end of the Master Servicer's fiscal year,
commencing with its 2005 fiscal year, the Master Servicer at its expense shall
cause a nationally or regionally
74
recognized firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other
services to the Master Servicer, a Seller or any affiliate thereof) which is a
member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a
statement to the Trustee and the Depositor to the effect that such firm has
examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the
Mortgage Loans under this Agreement or of mortgage loans under pooling and
servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement (such statement
to have attached thereto a schedule setting forth the pooling and servicing
agreements covered thereby) and that, on the basis of such examination,
conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for
FNMA and FHLMC, such servicing has been conducted in compliance with such
pooling and servicing agreements except for such significant exceptions or
errors in records that, in the opinion of such firm, the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages
serviced for FNMA and FHLMC requires it to report. In rendering such
statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of
mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations
conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for
FNMA and FHLMC (rendered within one year of such statement) of independent
public accountants with respect to the related Subservicer. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder or
Certificate Owner upon request at the Master Servicer's expense, provided that
such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.18. Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.
The Master Servicer shall for so long as it acts as master servicer under
this Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of
insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations
as Master Servicer hereunder and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its
officers, employees and agents. Each such policy or policies and bond shall,
together, comply with the requirements from time to time of FNMA or FHLMC for
persons performing servicing for mortgage loans purchased by FNMA or FHLMC. In
the event that any such policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Master
Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer
or issuer, meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such
replacement.
SECTION 3.19. Notification of Adjustments.
On each Adjustment Date, the Master Servicer shall make interest rate
and/or monthly payment adjustments for each Mortgage Loan in compliance with
the requirements of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and applicable
regulations. The Master Servicer shall execute and deliver the notices
required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note and applicable regulations
regarding interest rate and/or monthly payment adjustments. The Master
Servicer also shall provide timely notification to the Trustee of all
applicable data and information regarding such interest rate or monthly
payment adjustments and the Master Servicer's methods of implementing such
adjustments. Upon the discovery by the Master Servicer or the Trustee that the
Master Servicer has failed to adjust or has incorrectly adjusted a Mortgage
Rate or a monthly payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note
and Mortgage, the Master Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Certificate
Account from its own funds the amount of any interest and/or principal loss
caused thereby without reimbursement therefor; provided, however,
75
the Master Servicer shall be held harmless with respect to any interest rate
and/or monthly payment adjustments made by any servicer prior to the Master
Servicer.
SECTION 3.20. [Reserved].
SECTION 3.21. Prepayment Charges.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in
the event of a Principal Prepayment in full or in part of a Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer may not waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof
required by the terms of the related Mortgage Note unless (i) the Master
Servicer determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidation
Proceeds for such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such
Prepayment Charge, or (ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership, or other similar law
relating to creditors' rights generally or (2) due to acceleration in
connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment, or (B) the
enforceability is otherwise limited or prohibited by applicable law. In the
event of a Principal Prepayment in full or in part with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's
Certificate no later than the third Business Day following the immediately
succeeding Determination Date with a copy to the Class P Certificateholders.
If the Master Servicer has waived or does not collect all or a portion of a
Prepayment Charge relating to a Principal Prepayment in full or in part due to
any action or omission of the Master Servicer, other than as provided above,
the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, together with the Principal
Prepayment in full or in part, the amount of such Prepayment Charge (or such
portion thereof as had been waived) for deposit into the Certificate Account
(not later than 1:00 p.m. Pacific time on the immediately succeeding Master
Servicer Advance Date, in the case of such Prepayment Charge) for distribution
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Upon discovery by the Master Servicer or a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee of a breach of the foregoing subsection (a), the party
discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
(c) Countrywide represents and warrants to the Depositor and the
Trustee, as of the Closing Date and each Supplemental Transfer Date, that the
information in the Prepayment Charge Schedule (including the attached
prepayment charge summary) is complete and accurate in all material respects
at the dates as of which the information is furnished and each Prepayment
Charge is permissible and enforceable in accordance with its terms under
applicable state law, except as the enforceability thereof is limited due to
acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment.
(d) Upon discovery by the Master Servicer or a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee of a breach of the foregoing clause (c) that materially and
adversely affects the right of the Holders of the Class P Certificates to any
Prepayment Charge, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties. Within 60 days of the earlier of discovery by
Countrywide or receipt of notice by Countrywide of breach, Countrywide shall
cure the breach in all material respects or shall pay to the Master Servicer
which shall deposit such amount into the Certificate Account the amount of the
Prepayment Charge that would otherwise be due from the Mortgagor, less any
amount representing such Prepayment Charge previously collected and paid by
the Master Servicer into the Certificate Account.

ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS AND
ADVANCES BY THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 4.01. Advances.
(a) The Master Servicer shall determine on or before each Master Servicer
Advance Date whether it is required to make an Advance pursuant to the
definition thereof. If the Master Servicer determines it is required to make
an Advance, it shall, on or before the Master Servicer Advance Date, either
(i) deposit into the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance or
(ii) make an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Certificate
Account that any Amount Held for Future Distribution has been used by the
Master Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance. Any
funds so applied shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the
Certificate Account no later than the close of business on the next Master
Servicer Advance Date. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
from the Certificate Account for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant
to this Section as provided in Section 3.08. The obligation to make Advances
with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue if such Mortgage Loan has
been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and the related Mortgaged Property has
not been liquidated.
(b) If the Master Servicer determines that it will be unable to comply
with its obligation to make the Advances as and when described in the second
sentence of Section 4.01(a), the Master Servicer shall use its best efforts to
give written notice thereof to the Trustee (each such notice a "Trustee
Advance Notice"; and such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than
3:00 P.M., New York time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the
related Master Servicer Advance Date, specifying the amount that will not be
deposited by the Master Servicer (each such amount an "Advance Deficiency")
and certifying that such Advance Deficiency constitutes an Advance hereunder
and is not a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Trustee receives a Trustee Advance
Notice on or before 3:30 P.M., New York time on a Master Servicer Advance
Date, the Trustee shall, not later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the
related Distribution Date, deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal
to the Advance Deficiency identified in such Trustee Advance Notice unless it
is prohibited from so doing by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Trustee shall not be required to make such deposit if the Trustee shall
have received written notification from the Master Servicer that the Master
Servicer has deposited or caused to be deposited in the Certificate Account an
amount equal to such Advance Deficiency. All Advances made by the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) shall accrue interest on behalf of the
Trustee at the Trustee Advance Rate from and including the date such Advances
are made to but excluding the date of repayment, with such interest being an
obligation of the Master Servicer and not the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer
shall reimburse the Trustee for the amount of any Advance made by the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) together with accrued interest, not later
than the fifth day following the related Master Servicer Advance Date. In the
event that the Master Servicer does not reimburse the Trustee in accordance
with the requirements of the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to immediately (a) terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement in accordance with
Section 7.01 and (b) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.04,
assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder.
77
(c) The Master Servicer shall, not later than the close of business on
the second Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, deliver
to the Trustee a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee) that indicates (i) the Mortgage Loans with respect to which the
Master Servicer has determined that the related Scheduled Payments should be
advanced and (ii) the amount of the related Scheduled Payments. The Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on the related Master Servicer Advance
Date an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of
any proposed Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance.
SECTION 4.02. Priorities of Distribution.
(a) (1) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw the

Trust Fund.
(4) On each Distribution Date, any amounts deposited in the Carryover
Shortfall Reserve Fund shall be distributed by the Trustee as follows:
(i) on the initial Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Class of Floating Rate Certificates, proportionately based on the
Carryover Shortfall Amount with respect to each such Class of
Certificates for that Distribution Date, the lesser of (a) $1,629,560.94
and (b) the aggregate amount of Carryover Shortfall Amounts with respect
to the Floating Rate Certificates for that Distribution Date;
(ii) [Reserved];
(iii) from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class 1-X IO-1
Component on such Distribution Date, sequentially, as follows:
(1) concurrently, to the Class A-1 and Class A-2
Certificates, pro rata, based on the Carryover Shortfall
Amounts for each such Class, in an amount up to such Class'
Carryover Shortfall Amounts remaining unpaid for such
Distribution Date; and
(2) to the Class 1-X Certificates;
(iv) from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class 1-X IO-2

remaining unpaid for such Distribution Date;
(2) sequentially, to the Class B-3, Class B-4 and Class
B-5 Certificates, in that order, in each case up to the amount
of such Class' Carryover Shortfall Amounts remaining unpaid for
such Distribution Date; and
(3) to the Class 1-X Certificates.
(5) On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment
Charges received during the related Prepayment Period with respect to the
Mortgage Loans (including all related Master Servicer Prepayment Charge
Amounts deposited pursuant to Section 3.21) will be distributed to the holders
of the Class P Certificates. In addition, on the Class P Principal
80
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to the Holders of the Class P
Certificates, as a Class, $100.00 from amounts on deposit in the Principal
Reserve Fund.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) [Reserved].
(d) On each Distribution Date, the amount referred to in clause (i) of
the definition of Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for each Class of
Certificates or Component thereof for such Distribution Date shall be reduced
for each Class or Component of Senior Certificates and each Class of
Subordinated Certificates by (i) the Class' pro rata share of the Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls based (x) with respect to a Class of Senior
Certificates or Component thereof, on the related Class Optimal Interest
Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, and (y) with respect to the
Subordinated Certificates, the related Class Optimal Interest Distribution
Amount for such Distribution Date in the absence of such Net Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls, and (ii) the Class' Allocable Share of (A) with respect
to each Mortgage Loan that became subject to a Debt Service Reduction during
the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, the interest
portion of the related Debt Service Reduction and (B) each Relief Act
Reduction for the Mortgage Loans incurred during the calendar month preceding
the month of such Distribution Date.
(e) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
4.02(a)(3), if, on any Distribution Date, with respect to any Class of
Subordinated Certificates (other than the Class of Subordinated Certificates
then outstanding with the highest priority of distribution), the sum of the
related Class Subordination Percentages of such Class and of all Classes of
Subordinated Certificates which have a higher numerical Class designation than
such Class (the "Applicable Credit Support Percentage") is less than the
Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution
of Net Prepayments will be made to any such Classes (the "Restricted Classes")
and the amount of such Net Prepayments otherwise distributable to the
Restricted Classes shall be distributed to any Classes of Subordinated
Certificates having lower numerical Class designations than such Class, pro
rata, based on their respective Class Certificate Balances immediately prior
to such Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the sequential order
provided in Section 4.02(a)(3). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, the Class of Subordinated Certificates then outstanding with the
highest distribution priority shall not be a Restricted Class.
(f) If Subsequent Recoveries have been received with respect to a
Liquidated Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be
applied sequentially, in the order of payment priority, to increase the Class
Certificate Balance or Component Principal Balance of each Class of
Certificates or Component thereof to which Realized Losses have been
allocated, but in each case by not more than the amount of Realized Losses
previously allocated to that Class of Certificates or Component pursuant to
Section 4.04. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment
in respect of the Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount on the amount of
such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date
on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied pro rata to
the Certificate Balance or Component Principal Balance of each Certificate of
such Class or Component thereof.
81
SECTION 4.03. Allocation of Net Deferred Interest.
(a) For any Distribution Date, the Senior Percentage of the Net Deferred
Interest will be allocated among the Senior Certificates and the Subordinated
Percentage of the Net Deferred Interest will be allocated to the Subordinated
Certificates. Among the Senior Certificates or the Subordinated Certificates,
as applicable, the Net Deferred Interest allocated to a Class of Certificates
shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest
that accrued on such Class of Certificates or its related Notional Amount
Components at its respective Pass-Through Rate during the Interest Accrual
Period related to that Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of interest that
accrued on such Class of Certificates or its related Notional Amount
Components at the related Adjusted Cap Rate during the Interest Accrual Period
related to that Distribution Date.
(b) Any Net Deferred Interest allocated to a Class of Certificates will
be added to the Class Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates,
except that in the case of a Class of Component Certificates, the amount of
Net Deferred Interest allocated to a Notional Amount Component shall be added
to the Component Principal Balance of the related Principal Only Component.
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Trustee shall determine
the total amount of Realized Losses, with respect to the related Distribution
Date.
Realized Losses with respect to any Distribution Date shall be allocated
as follows:
(i) [Reserved];
(ii) Any Realized Loss on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated
first, to the Subordinated Certificates, in reverse order of their
respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class
designation) until the respective Class Certificate Balance of each such
Class is reduced to zero, and second, to the Senior Certificates (other
than any Notional Amount Certificates, if applicable) in the following
order: first, to the Class A-3 Certificates, second, to the Class A-2
Certificates and third, to the Class A-1 Certificates, in each case,
until their respective Class Certificate Balances are reduced to zero.
For purposes of allocating losses to the Subordinated Certificates, the
Class M Certificates will be considered to have a lower numerical class
designation than each other class of Subordinated Certificates.
(b) The Class Certificate Balance of the Class of Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation
shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the amount, if any, by which the
aggregate Class Certificate Balance of all outstanding Classes of Certificates
(after giving effect to the distribution of principal and the allocation of
Net Deferred Interest and Realized Losses on such Distribution Date) exceeds
the sum of (i) the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the last day of the Due
Period related to such Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of the first
Distribution Date only, the Supplemental Amount.
82
(c) Any Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or any
reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant
to Section 4.04(b) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class in proportion to their respective Certificate Balances.
(d) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or to any
Component or any reduction in the Certificate Balance of a Certificate,
pursuant to Section 4.04(b) above shall be accomplished by reducing the
Certificate Balance or Component Principal Balance, as applicable, immediately
following the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with the definition of "Certificate Balance" or "Component
Principal Balance," as the case may be.
SECTION 4.05. [Reserved]

SECTION 4.07. [Reserved].
SECTION 4.08. Determination of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR Certificates.
(a) On each Interest Determination Date so long as any LIBOR Certificates
are outstanding, the Trustee will determine LIBOR on the basis of the British
Bankers' Association ("BBA") "Interest Settlement Rate" for one-month deposits
in U.S. dollars as found on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. London time on
each LIBOR Determination Date. "Telerate Page 3750" means the display page
currently so designated on the Moneyline Telerate Service (formerly the Dow
Xxxxx Markets) (or such other page as may replace that page on that service
for the purpose of displaying comparable rates or prices).
(b) If on any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR cannot be determined as
provided in paragraph (A) of this Section 4.08, the Trustee shall either (i)
request each Reference Bank to inform the Trustee of the quotation offered by
its principal London office for making one-month United States dollar deposits
in leading banks in the London interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m. (London
time) on such Interest Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making any such
request, rely on such Reference Bank quotations that appear at such time on
the Reuters Screen LIBO Page (as defined in the International Swap Dealers
Association Inc. Code of Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for
Swaps, 1986 Edition), to the extent available. LIBOR for the next Interest
Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee on each interest
Determination Date as follows:
(i) If on any Interest Determination Date two or more Reference
Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next applicable
Interest Accrual Period shall be the arithmetic mean of such offered
quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean upwards if necessary to the
nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
(ii) If on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of the
Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next
Interest Accrual Period shall be whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as
determined on the previous Interest
85
Determination Date or (ii) the Reserve Interest Rate. The "Reserve
Interest Rate" shall be the rate per annum which the Trustee determines
to be either (i) the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards if necessary to the
nearest whole multiple of 1/32%) of the one-month United States dollar
lending rates that New York City banks selected by the Trustee are
quoting, on the relevant Interest Determination Date, to the principal
London offices of at least two of the Reference Banks to which such
quotations are, in the opinion of the Trustee, being so made, or (ii) in
the event that the Trustee can determine no such arithmetic mean, the
lowest one-month United States dollar lending rate which New York City
banks selected by the Trustee are quoting on such Interest Determination
Date to leading European banks.
(iii) If on any Interest Determination Date the Trustee is required
but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner
provided in paragraph (b) above, LIBOR for the related Classes of
Certificates shall be LIBOR as determined on the preceding applicable
Interest Determination Date or, in the case of the first Interest
Determination Date, 4.079%.
Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee will at
all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining
LIBOR with respect to each Interest Determination Date. The Master Servicer
initially shall designate the Reference Banks. Each "Reference Bank" shall be
a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the
international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be
under common control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place of
business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable
to act as such or if the Master Servicer should terminate its appointment as
Reference Bank, the Trustee shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed
another Reference Bank. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility
to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of
determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four Reference
Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
(c) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each Interest
Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on the
basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes
corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the
Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
In determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates,
any Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered
quotations (whether written, oral or on the Dow Xxxxx Markets) from the BBA
designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR,
the Interest Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in
effect from time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee's selection of New York City
banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its
inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations
from, the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks
or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section
4.08.
86
The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final,
conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
SECTION 4.09. Determination of MTA.
(a) On each related Interest Determination Date, so long as the MTA
Certificates are outstanding, the Trustee shall determine MTA on the basis of
the most recent MTA figure available as of such related Interest Determination
Date, or in the case of the first Distribution Date 3.16%.
(b) If on any Interest Determination Date, MTA is no longer available,
the Trustee shall select a new index for the MTA Certificates that is based on
comparable information. When the Trustee selects a new index for the MTA
Certificates, the Pass-Through Margin for each Class of MTA Certificates will
increase or decrease by the difference between the average MTA for the final
three years it was in effect and the average of the most recent three years
for the replacement index. The Pass-Through Margin for each Class of MTA
Certificates will be increased by that difference if the average MTA is
greater than the average replacement index, and the Pass-Through Margin for
each Class of MTA Certificates will be decreased by that difference if the
replacement index is greater than the average MTA.
(c) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of MTA Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each Interest
Determination Date so long as the MTA Certificates are outstanding on the
basis of MTA and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding
to the MTA Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the
Preliminary Statement.
(d) The determination of MTA and the Pass-Through Rates for the MTA
Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final,
conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a MTA Certificate and the Trustee.
87
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as
exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the
minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one
Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in
excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per
Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
Subject to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions
to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at
a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such
Holder has so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the
related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a Class of Component
Certificates, (B) 100% of the Class Certificate Balance of any Class of
Certificates, (C) Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal
Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (D) a Class P Certificate or (y)
by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address
of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall
bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid
for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, and
such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and
the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature.
On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be
issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor.
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a
continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate
transfers.
SECTION 5.02. Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange
of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.06, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund
in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for
the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of
Certificates as provided in this Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the
name of the designated
88
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and
aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance
with the Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In
the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the
Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the
Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each
certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in
substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit J (the "Transferor Certificate")
and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit K (the
"Investment Letter") or Exhibit L (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall
be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of
Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the
Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private
Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder,
information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such
other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to
eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate
without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the
registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Master
Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A
information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the
Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably
request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a
Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor, the Sellers and the Master
Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the
Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of
such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Private
89
Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a
representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
K or Exhibit L, or in the event such Certificate is a Residual Certificate,
such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a
representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
I), to the effect that (x) such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or
arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject
to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or
arrangement, or using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect
such transfer or (y) in the case of a Certificate that is an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate and that has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting,
a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is
purchasing such Certificate with funds contained in an "insurance company
general account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the purchase and
holding of such Certificate satisfy the requirements for exemptive relief
under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (ii) in the case of any
ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of an
employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to ERISA, or a plan or
arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of
any subsequent enactments), or a trustee or any other person acting on behalf
of any such plan or arrangement or using such plan's or arrangement's assets,
an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund,
addressed to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, to the effect that the
purchase and holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in a
non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code, and will not subject the Trustee or the Master Servicer to any
obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to
any liability (such Opinion of Counsel, a "Benefit Plan Opinion"). For
purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate that is not a Residual Certificate, in the event the
representation letter or Benefit Plan Opinion referred to in the preceding
sentence is not so furnished, one of the representations in clause (i), as
appropriate, shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the
transferee's (including an initial acquiror's) acceptance of the
ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
in this Agreement, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate
to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to ERISA or
to Section 4975 of the Code without the delivery to the Trustee of a Benefit
Plan Opinion satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and
of no effect.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited
to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact
not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was
registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
90
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee.
(ii) Except in connection with (i) the registration of the Tax
Matters Person Certificate in the name of the Trustee or (ii) any
registration in the name of, or transfer of a Residual Certificate to, an
affiliate of the Depositor (either directly or through a nominee) in
connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates, no Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date
or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the
Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless the Trustee shall have been
furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner
or the proposed transferee in the form attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit I.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or
agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C)
not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to
cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to
any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder
of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored
to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this
Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was
registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit and Transferor
Certificate. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover
from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a
Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such
subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all
payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time.
Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered
by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such
Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed under section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of
a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any
Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this
Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be
91
deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of
an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any Seller, to the effect that
the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any REMIC hereunder to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding
or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder
or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement
which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably
necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial
interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or
indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide
for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by
a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted
Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions
referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at
the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all
times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at
all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain
book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to
ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the
Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall
deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating
firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry
Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this
Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives
shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully
protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect
to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants
with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of
such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer 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.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor or (y) after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate
Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the
Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the
best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such
event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates
(the "Definitive Certificates") to
92
Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the
Definitive Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the
Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an adequate
inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of
Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all
references in this Agreement to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by
the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the
Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates
and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not by virtue of
its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or
failure to act of the Depository.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and
the Trustee 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 that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Master Servicer or
the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered
as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as
provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither
the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Master Servicer or the
Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
If three or more Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners (a) request
such information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such
Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners desire to communicate with other
Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners with respect to their rights
under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the
communication which such Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners propose
to transmit, or if the Depositor or Master Servicer shall request such
information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten
Business Days after the receipt of such request, (x) provide the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or such Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners at
such
93
recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such
Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any, and (y) assist the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or such Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners at such
recipients' expense with obtaining from the Depository a list of the related
Depository Participants acting on behalf of Certificate Owners of Book Entry
Certificates. The Depositor and every Certificateholder and Certificate Owner,
by receiving and holding a Certificate or beneficial interest therein, agree
that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of
any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders and/or
Depository Participants hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
SECTION 5.06. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an
office or offices or agency or agencies in New York City where Certificates
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee
initially designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Trustee
will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in
such location of any such office or agency.

ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in accordance
with this Agreement only to the extent of the obligations specifically and
respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them in this Agreement.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a corporation under the laws of the United States or under the
laws of one of the states thereof and will obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer will keep in effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a limited partnership under the laws of
the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and will
obtain and preserve its qualification or registration to do business as a
foreign partnership in each jurisdiction in which such qualification or
registration is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged
or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be
the successor of the Depositor 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 Agreement 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, FNMA or FHLMC.
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Sellers, the
Master Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any Seller or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
or any Seller shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any
Seller or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties
made by it in this Agreement or protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
any Seller or any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reasons 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Seller and
95
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
or each Seller may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
under this Agreement. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Seller and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or
any Seller shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against
any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any audit,
controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority
or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than
any loss, liability or expense 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. None of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or any Seller shall be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to its respective
duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
or any Seller may in its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem
necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties
of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer and each Seller shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor servicer and
receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a
resignation and appointment will not result in a downgrade or withdrawal of
the rating of any of the Certificates or (b) upon determination that its
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such
determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Master
Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered
to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee
or a successor master servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
SECTION 7.01. Events of Default.
"Event of Default," wherever used in this Agreement, means any one of the
following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the Certificate
Account or remit to the Trustee any payment required to be made under the
terms of this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for five
days after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor or to
the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having
not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or
(ii) any failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in any
material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of
the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement, which failure materially
affects the rights of Certificateholders, that failure continues
unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice
of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the
Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by
the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting
Rights evidenced by the Certificates; provided, however, that the sixty
day cure period shall not apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage
File for Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans nor the failure to substitute or
repurchase in lieu of delivery; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a
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 consecutive days; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
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 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 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 fail to reimburse in full the Trustee
within five days of the Master Servicer Advance Date for any Advance made
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(b) together with accrued and
unpaid interest.
97
If (a) an Event of Default described in clauses (i) to (vi) of this
Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, or (b) an
Event of Default described in clauses (i) to (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, at the direction of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights evidenced by such
Certificates, the Trustee shall by notice in writing to the Master Servicer
(with a copy to each Rating Agency), 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. On and after the receipt by the Master Servicer
of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer
hereunder, whether with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. The Trustee shall thereupon make
any Advance which the Master Servicer failed to make subject to Section 4.01
whether or not the obligations of the Master Servicer have been terminated
pursuant to this Section. 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. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no such
termination shall affect any obligation of the Master Servicer to pay amounts
owed pursuant to Article VIII. 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 of all cash amounts which shall at the time be
credited to the Certificate Account, or thereafter be received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late
collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to
the notice terminating such Master Servicer's rights and obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to
which such Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections
3.08(a)(i) through (viii), and any other amounts payable to such Master
Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of
its activities under this Agreement.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the
extent provided in Section 3.04, be the successor to the Master Servicer in
its capacity as master servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set
forth or provided for in this Agreement and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master
Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and applicable law
including the obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to
the Mortgage Loans that the Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge
to the Certificate Account or Distribution Account if the Master Servicer had
continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has
become the successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01,
the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is
prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 or
if it is otherwise unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any
98
established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does
not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each
Rating Agency 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. Any successor to the Master Servicer shall
be an institution which is a FNMA and FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good
standing, which has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, and which is willing
to service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the Depositor and
the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, which
contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other
than liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section 6.03 incurred prior to
termination of the Master Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if
originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided further that each
Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or
reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of
a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee
is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.04, 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 the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor
shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess
of the Master Servicing Fee permitted to be paid to the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to
be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in
making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to
perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder,
in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or
provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information,
documents or records to it.
Any successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall give notice
to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its
service as master servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the
Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.09.
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, or
(ii) the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master
Servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of
Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee
and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments
as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or
servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System to the successor Master
Servicer or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System the
successor Master Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan. The
predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such
assignment in the appropriate recording office. The successor Master Servicer
shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon
receipt
99
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 termination of or appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the
Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such
Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default
shall have been cured or waived.
100
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, the
Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are
in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument.
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) unless an Event of Default known to the Trustee shall have
occurred and be continuing, 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 the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in
good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper
authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee, unless it shall be finally proven that the Trustee was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee
under this Agreement; and
(iv) without in any way limiting the provisions of this Section 8.01
or Section 8.02, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on
the information delivered to it
101
by the Master Servicer in a Trustee Advance Notice in determining whether
it is required to make an Advance under Section 4.01(b), shall have no
responsibility to ascertain or confirm any information contained in any
Trustee Advance Notice, and shall have no obligation to make any Advance
under Section 4.01(b) in the absence of a Trustee Advance Notice or
actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that (A) such
Advance was not made by the Master Servicer and (B) such Advance is not a
Nonrecoverable Advance.
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers'
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal,
bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the Trustee
shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of
any signature of any such party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be 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;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
allocated to each Class of Certificates;
(v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents,
accountants or attorneys;
(vi) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not assured to it;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment
of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the
investment security);
102
(viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event
of Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received
written notice thereof; and
(ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the
request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory
to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained in this Agreement and in the Certificates shall be
taken as the statements of the Depositor or a Seller, 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 or of any Mortgage Loan or related document or of MERS or the
MERS(R) System other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and
counter-signature of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Depositor or the Master Servicer of any
funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage
Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the
Depositor 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 as it would have if it were
not the Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be
entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date
an amount equal to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date. The Trustee and
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified
by the Master Servicer and held harmless against any loss, liability or
expense (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) (i) incurred in
connection with any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b)
the Certificates or (c) in connection with the performance of any of the
Trustee's duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred
by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance
of any of the Trustee's duties hereunder or incurred by reason of any action
of the Trustee taken at the direction of the Certificateholders or (ii)
resulting from any error in any tax or information return prepared by the
Master Servicer. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this
Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Master Servicer covenants and agrees, except as
otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except
for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee,
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by
the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with
respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements
of its counsel not associated with
103
the closing of the issuance of the Certificates, (B) the reasonable
compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant, engineer or
appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the extent that
the Trustee must engage such persons to perform acts or services hereunder and
(C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing any
Definitive Certificates. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine
ongoing expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties
as Trustee, Registrar, Tax Matters Person or Paying Agent hereunder or for any
other expenses.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association
organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of
America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having
a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision
or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which
would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce or withdraw their
respective then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such
security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as
evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The entity serving as
Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and
its affiliates or the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however,
that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Master Servicer other than the
Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date
specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to
take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section
8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor
trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request
thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable
of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed
with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust
Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the
appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the Master Servicer
may remove
104
the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee,
one copy of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy to
the successor trustee.
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 by the successor Trustee to the Master Servicer, one complete set
to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency by
the successor trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided
in Section 8.08.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
trustee and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as
if originally named as trustee in this Agreement. The Depositor, 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.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and its appointment shall not
adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to
mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed
at the expense of the Depositor.
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor
of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any
paper or
105
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note 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 and
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any
part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section 8.10, 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 to do so, or in the case an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power
to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee
or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under
this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall
be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that
such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately
without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under
any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be
performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the 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 applicable Trust Fund
or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at
the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such
appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such
separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
106
(iv) The Master Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for
the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification
to any such separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed
to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its
estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
SECTION 8.11. Tax Matters.
It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election
is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute,
and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to
qualify such assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined
in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such
intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and
the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC
and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be
prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment
Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the
Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and
filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax
authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with
respect to any such REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in
the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws,
regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to
Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and
in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the
Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue
Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name,
title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the
Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with
such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such
information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make
or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC on the
federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under
applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and
forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and,
if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as
and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC
Provisions, including
107
without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the
Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the computation
of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is
not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other
middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a
Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable
cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person
liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control
conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding so as to maintain the status as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take
any action that would cause the termination of the tax status of any REMIC;
(h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section
8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction
taxes as described below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination
when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not
prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such
tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from
withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of
such proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or
information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may
be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws,
regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to any such REMIC,
including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities
thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined
at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to
prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k)
as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any such REMIC in any
administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by
any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to
any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any
governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any
tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of any such REMIC in
relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.
In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth in this
Agreement, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the
Trustee within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data
that the Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax
purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including,
without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash
flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor
shall provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such
additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time,
reasonably request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set
forth in this Agreement. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any
losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from
any errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of
the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or
data to the Trustee on a timely basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
any REMIC hereunder as defined in section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net
income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined in section 860G(c)
of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder after the Startup Day
pursuant to section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed,
including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC
108
hereunder pursuant to sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and
Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be
paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the
Master Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or a Seller of any of
their obligations under this Agreement, (iii) any Seller, if any such tax
arises out of or results from that Seller's obligation to repurchase a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or
in the event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any Seller fails to
honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), any such
tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the
Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.08(b).
The Trustee shall treat the Carryover Shortfall Reserve Fund as an
outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h)
which is owned by the Depositor, and that is not an asset of any REMIC created
hereunder. The Class X Certificates shall be treated as representing ownership
of a Master REMIC regular interest and a position in an interest rate cap
contract. In the event that the Class X Certificates are contributed to a
separate trust that makes a REMIC election, the Certificates issued by such
Trust may assume the position of the Class X Certificateholders in such
interest rate cap contract and effect the release of the Class X
Certificateholders from any related obligations under such interest rate cap
contract. The Trustee shall assume that the position of the Class X
Certificates in such interest rate cap contract has a value of $1,000.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of all Mortgage
Loans.
Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby
with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of: (a) the
purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties)
remaining in the Trust Fund at the price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the
Stated Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan plus one month's accrued
interest thereon at the applicable Adjusted Mortgage Rate, (ii) the lesser of
(x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two
appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Master
Servicer at the expense of the Master Servicer and (y) the Stated Principal
Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, and (iii) any
remaining unpaid costs and damages incurred by the Trust Fund that arise out
of an actual violation of any predatory or abusive lending law that also
constitutes an actual breach of clause (50) on Schedule III-A, in all cases
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Adjusted Mortgage
Rate; and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any
Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust
Fund and the disposition of all REO Property in and (ii) the distribution to
the Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them
pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby
continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador
of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof
and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
The Master Servicer shall have the right to purchase all Mortgage Loans
and REO Properties in the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) in the preceding
paragraph of this Section 9.01 only on or after the Optional Termination Date.
109
SECTION 9.02. Final Distribution on the Certificates.
If on any Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there
are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust
Fund other than the funds in the Certificate Account, the Master Servicer
shall direct the Trustee promptly to send a final distribution notice to each
Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer elects to terminate the Trust Fund
pursuant to Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be
mailed to the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall notify the
Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Master Servicer intends to cause a
termination pursuant to Section 9.01 and of the applicable repurchase price of
the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution
Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment
of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day
and no later than the 15th day of the month next preceding the month of such
final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date
upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated,
(b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or
agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the
Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office therein specified. The Master Servicer will give
such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to the
Certificateholders.
In the event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all
related funds in the Certificate Account to be remitted to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account on or before the Business Day prior to the
applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in
respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request
for Release therefor, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Master
Servicer the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall
cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in each case
on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 4.02, in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class
of Regular Certificates, the Certificate Balance thereof plus accrued interest
thereon (or on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of an
interest-bearing Certificate and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the
amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other
than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause
(i) above. Notwithstanding the reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of
any Class of Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding hereunder
(solely for the purpose of receiving distributions and not for any other
purpose) until the termination of the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, each Seller, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article IX.
In the event that any Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates
for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above
mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to
the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
110
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take
appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the
second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Class A-R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all
unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject to
this Agreement.
SECTION 9.03. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option or
options as provided in Section 9.01, the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
then remaining in the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the
following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with
an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer to the effect
that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not
(i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" on any
REMIC as defined in section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any REMIC to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(1) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set
forth in the notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 9.02, the
Master Servicer shall prepare and the Trustee, at the expense of the "tax
matters person," shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation within the
meaning of section 860F(a)(4) of the Code which, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee
or the Tax Matters Person), meets the requirements of a qualified
liquidation; and
(2) Within 90 days after the time of adoption of such a plan
of complete liquidation, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the
Trust Fund to the Master Servicer for cash in accordance with Section
9.01.
(b) The Trustee as agent for any REMIC created under this Agreement
hereby agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the
written request of the Master Servicer and the receipt of the Opinion of
Counsel referred to in Section 9.03(a)(1) and to take such other action in
connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer.
(c) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
authorize the Master Servicer to prepare and the Trustee to adopt and sign a
plan of complete liquidation.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, each
Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any
defective provision in this Agreement or to
111
supplement any provision in this Agreement which may be inconsistent with any
other provision in this Agreement, (iii) to conform this Agreement to the
Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement provided to investors in connection with
the initial offering of the Certificates, (iv) to add to the duties of the
Depositor, any Seller or the Master Servicer, (v) to modify, alter, amend, add
to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement to
comply with any rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission from time to time, (vi) to add any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or (vii) to modify, alter,
amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this
Agreement; provided that any action pursuant to clauses (vi) or (vii) above
shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided,
however, that the amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person
requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that
the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the
respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood and
agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a
determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a
determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment that significantly changes the
permitted activities of the trust created by this Agreement may be made
without the consent of a Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates
affected by such amendment. Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees that it
will cooperate with each other party in amending this Agreement pursuant to
clause (v) above. The Trustee, each Seller, the Depositor and the Master
Servicer also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement
without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to
any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i)
maintain the qualification of any REMIC as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid
or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC pursuant to the
Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final redemption of the
Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of the Code, provided
that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall
be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not
be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action
is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such qualification,
(ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax or (iii)
comply with any such requirements of the Code.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
each Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of a Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates 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 of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of such Certificates; provided, however, that
no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the
timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in
a manner other than as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests
aggregating 66-2/3%, or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without
the consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.
112
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, which opinion shall not be an expense of
the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not
cause the imposition of any tax on any REMIC or the Certificateholders or
cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring
the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each
Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be
an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that
(i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and
that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and
(ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth
in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant
to this Section 10.01.
SECTION 10.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
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 at its
expense, but only upon direction by the Trustee accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially
affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as in
this Agreement provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one
and the same instrument.
SECTION 10.03. Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE
SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO
BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
113
SECTION 10.04. Intention of Parties.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the
(i) Mortgage Loans by the Sellers to the Depositor and (ii) Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute sale
thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that
such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the
property of any Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, or if for any
other reason this Agreement or any Supplemental Transfer Agreement is held or
deemed to create a security interest in either such assets, then (i) this
Agreement or any Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be deemed to be a
security agreement (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the
State of New York) with respect to all such assets and security interests and
(ii) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement or any Supplemental
Transfer Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement (a) by each Seller to the Depositor or (b) by the
Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a
security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired.
Each Seller and the Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may
be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a
security interest in the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to
be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and
will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor
shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements
in connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 10.05. Notices.
(a) The Trustee shall use its best efforts to promptly provide notice to
each Rating Agency with respect to each of the following of which it has
actual knowledge:
1. Any material change or amendment to this Agreement;
2. The occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been cured;
3. The resignation or termination of the Master Servicer or the Trustee
and the appointment of any successor;
4. The repurchase or substitution of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
2.03;
5. The final payment to Certificateholders; and
6. Any rating action involving the long-term credit rating of
Countrywide, which notice shall be made by first class mail within two
Business Days after the Trustee gains actual knowledge of such a rating
action.
In addition, the Trustee shall promptly furnish to each Rating Agency
copies of the following:
1. Each report to Certificateholders described in Section 4.06;
114
2. Each annual statement as to compliance described in Section 3.16;
3. Each annual independent public accountants' servicing report described
in Section 3.17; and
4. Any notice of a purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02,
2.03 or 3.11.

prepaid, to their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
SECTION 10.06. Severability of Provisions.
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of
this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and
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 of the
Certificates.
SECTION 10.07. Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
except as provided in Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the
Master Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee and
Depositor.
115
SECTION 10.08. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the trust created hereby, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or
winding up of the trust created by this Agreement, or otherwise affect the
rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided in
this Agreement) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything set forth in this Agreement or contained in the terms of the
Certificates be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time
to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any third party by reason of any
action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself
of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this
Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a
written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as
provided in this Agreement, and unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing
not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall
also have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit
or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to
the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs,
expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee,
for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or
proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted
by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee,
that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner
whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of
this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of
any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or
preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this
Agreement, except in the manner provided in this Agreement and for the common
benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section 10.08, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
SECTION 10.09. Inspection and Audit Rights.
The Master Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will
permit and will cause each Subservicer to permit any representative of the
Depositor or the Trustee during the Master Servicer's normal business hours,
to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the
Master Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts
therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public
accountants selected by the Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss its
affairs, finances and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its
officers, employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision
the Master Servicer hereby authorizes said accountants to discuss with such
representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable
times and as often as
116
may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense incident to the
exercise by the Depositor or the Trustee of any right under this Section 10.09
shall be borne by the party requesting such inspection; all other such
expenses shall be borne by the Master Servicer or the related Subservicer.
SECTION 10.10. Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid.
It is the intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be
personally liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the
Trust Fund represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any
reason whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof
by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully paid.
SECTION 10.11. [Reserved].

(ii) merge with another entity, reorganize, liquidate or sell
assets; or

(b) Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will not file an
involuntary bankruptcy petition against the Trustee or the Trust Fund or
initiate any other form of insolvency proceeding until after the Certificates
have been paid.

Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. ("Countrywide") hereby makes the
representations and warranties set forth in this Schedule III-A to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, with respect to all of the
Initial Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date, or if so specified herein, as
of the Initial Cut-off Date, and with respect to all of the Supplemental

a seller, Park Sienna LLC, as a seller, Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP,
as master servicer, CWALT, Inc., as depositor, and The Bank of New York, as

correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date and with respect to
each Supplemental Mortgage Loan is true and correct in all material respects
as of the related Supplemental Transfer Date.
(2) As of the Closing Date, all payments due with respect to each

of the Initial Cut-off Date, no Initial Mortgage Loan has been contractually
delinquent for 30 or more days more than once during the twelve months prior
to the Initial Cut-off Date. As of each Supplemental Transfer Date, all
payments due with respect to each related Supplemental Mortgage Loan prior to
the related Supplemental Cut-off Date will have been made; and as of each
Supplemental Cut-off Date, no related Supplemental Mortgage Loan will have
been contractually delinquent for 30 or more days more than once during the
twelve months prior to that Supplemental Cut-off Date.
(3) No Initial Mortgage Loan had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at
origination in excess of 100.00%.
(4) Each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the
Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of non delinquent current real
property taxes and assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions,
rights of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of
recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being
acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally or specifically
reflected in the appraisal made in connection with the origination of the
related Mortgage Loan, and (c) other matters to which like properties are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by such Mortgage.
S-III-A-1
(5) [Reserved].
(6) There is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any
Mortgaged Property.
(7) There is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any
Mortgage Note or Mortgage, including the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay
the unpaid principal of or interest on such Mortgage Note.
(8) There are no mechanics' liens or claims for work, labor or
material affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to,
or equal with, the lien of such Mortgage, except those which are insured
against by the title insurance policy referred to in item (12) below.
(9) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans and as of the related Supplemental Transfer Date with respect to the
Supplemental Mortgage Loans, to the best of Countrywide's knowledge, each
Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and in good repair.
(10) Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material
respects with applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without
limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity, predatory and abusive lending
laws, real estate settlement procedures, truth-in-lending and disclosure laws,
and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the
violation of any such laws.
(11) As of the Closing Date in the case of the Initial Mortgage
Loans and as of the related Supplemental Transfer Date with respect to the
Supplemental Mortgage Loans, neither Countrywide nor any prior holder of any
Mortgage has modified the Mortgage in any material respect (except that a
Mortgage Loan may have been modified by a written instrument which has been
recorded or submitted for recordation, if necessary, to protect the interests
of the Certificateholders and the original or a copy of which has been
delivered to the Trustee); satisfied, cancelled or subordinated such Mortgage
in whole or in part; released the related Mortgaged Property in whole or in
part from the lien of such Mortgage; or executed any instrument of release,
cancellation, modification or satisfaction with respect thereto.
(12) A lender's policy of title insurance together with a
condominium endorsement, adjustable rate rider, negative amortization
endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if applicable, in an amount at
least equal to the Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance of each such Mortgage
Loan or a commitment (binder) to issue the same was effective on the date of
the origination of each Mortgage Loan, each such policy is valid and remains
in full force and effect, and each such policy was issued by a title insurer
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is
located and acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and is in a form acceptable to FNMA or
FHLMC, which policy insures Countrywide and successor owners of indebtedness
secured by the insured Mortgage, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage
subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (4) above and against any
loss by reason of the invalidity or the unenforceability of the lien resulting
from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment of the mortgage
interest rate and/or the monthly payment
S-III-A-2
including any negative amortization thereunder. To the best of Countrywide's
knowledge, no claims have been made under such mortgage title insurance policy
and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including Countrywide, has done,
by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such mortgage
title insurance policy.
(13) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, all mortgage rate and
payment adjustments, if any, made on or prior to the applicable Cut-off Date
have been made in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note or
subsequent modifications, if any, and applicable law.
(14) Each Mortgage Loan was originated (within the meaning of
Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by an
entity that satisfied at the time of origination the requirements of Section
3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(15) To the best of Countrywide's knowledge, all of the improvements
which were included for the purpose of determining the Appraised Value of the
Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction
lines of such property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach
upon the Mortgaged Property.
(16) To the best of Countrywide's knowledge, no improvement located
on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable
zoning law or regulation. To the best of Countrywide's knowledge, all
inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with
respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect
to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to
certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made
or obtained from the appropriate authorities, unless the lack thereof would
not have a material adverse effect on the value of such Mortgaged Property,
and the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.
(17) Each Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and
each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with its terms and under applicable law. To the best
of Countrywide's knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
had legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each
Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such
parties.
(18) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loans have been fully disbursed,
there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as
to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All
costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, or closing or recording the
Mortgage Loans were paid.
(19) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the
security, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of
trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
(20) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so
S-III-A-3
serves and is named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will
become payable by the Certificateholders to the trustee under the deed of
trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the
Mortgagor.
(21) Each Mortgage Note and each Mortgage is in substantially one of
the forms acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, with such riders as have been
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, as the case may be.
(22) There exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits and
payments, if such are required, for which customary arrangements for repayment
thereof have not been made, and no escrow deposits or payments of other
charges or payments due Countrywide have been capitalized under the Mortgage
or the related Mortgage Note.
(23) The origination, underwriting and collection practices used by
Countrywide with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects
legal, prudent and customary in the mortgage lending and servicing business.
(24) There is no pledged account or other security other than real
estate securing the Mortgagor's obligations.
(25) No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other
contingent interest feature.
(26) Each Mortgage Loan contains a customary "due on sale" clause.
(27) As of the Closing Date, 100.00% of the Initial Mortgage Loans
provide for a Prepayment Charge.
(28) Each Mortgage Loan that had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at
origination in excess of 80% is the subject of a Primary Insurance Policy that
insures that portion of the principal balance equal to a specified percentage
times the sum of the remaining principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
the accrued interest thereon and the related foreclosure expenses. The
specified coverage percentage for mortgage loans with terms to maturity
between 25 and 30 years is 12% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 80.01% and
85.00%, 25% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 85.01% and 90.00%, 30% for
Loan-to-Value Ratios between 90.01% and 95.00% and 35% for Loan-to-Value
Ratios between 95.01% and 100%. The specified coverage percentage for mortgage
loans with terms to maturity of up to 20 years ranges from 6% to 12% for
Loan-to-Value Ratios between 80.01% to 85.00%, from 12% to 20% for
Loan-to-Value Ratios between 85.01% to 90.00% and 20% to 25% for Loan-to-Value
Ratios between 90.01% to 95.00%. Each such Primary Insurance Policy is issued
by a Qualified Insurer. All provisions of any such Primary Insurance Policy
have been and are being complied with, any such policy is in full force and
effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject
to any such Primary Insurance Policy obligates either the Mortgagor or the
mortgagee thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and
charges in connection therewith, subject, in each case, to the provisions of
Section 3.09(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Mortgage Rate for
each Mortgage Loan is net of any such insurance premium.
S-III-A-4
(29) As of the related Cut-off Date, the improvements upon each
Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy
with a generally acceptable carrier that provides for fire and extended
coverage and coverage for such other hazards as are customary in the area
where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at least equal
to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing
such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds of such
policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from
becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is
included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the condominium
unit. All such individual insurance policies and all flood policies referred
to in item (30) below contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Countrywide
or the original mortgagee, and its successors in interest, as mortgagee, and
Countrywide has received no notice that any premiums due and payable thereon
have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain all such insurance including flood insurance at the Mortgagor's cost
and expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder
of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost
and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
(30) If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the
Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special
flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of
the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with
respect to such Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an
amount representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the original
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount
required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis, or (C)
the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended.
(31) To the best of Countrywide's knowledge, there is no proceeding
occurring, pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property.
(32) There is no material monetary default existing under any
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and, to the best of Countrywide's
knowledge, there is no material event which, with the passage of time or with
notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under the Mortgage or the
related Mortgage Note; and Countrywide has not waived any default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration.
(33) Each Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to four-family
residential dwelling including condominium units and dwelling units in PUDs,
which, to the best of Countrywide's knowledge, does not include cooperatives
or mobile homes and does not constitute other than real property under state
law.
(34) Each Mortgage Loan is being master serviced by the Master
Servicer.
(35) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage,
and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest
rate and single repayment term reflected
S-III-A-5
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The consolidated principal amount does not
exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note
does not permit or obligate the Master Servicer to make future advances to the
Mortgagor at the option of the Mortgagor.
(36) All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water,
sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which
previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been
established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains
unpaid and which has been assessed, but is not yet due and payable. Except for
(A) payments in the nature of escrow payments, and (B) interest accruing from
the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage
proceeds, whichever is later, to the day which precedes by one month the Due
Period of the first installment of principal and interest, including without
limitation, taxes and insurance payments, the Master Servicer has not advanced
funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a
party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any
amount required by the Mortgage.
(37) Each Mortgage Loan was underwritten in all material respects in
accordance with the underwriting guidelines described in the Prospectus
Supplement.
(38) Other than with respect to any Streamlined Documentation
Mortgage Loan as to which the loan-to-value ratio of the related Original
Mortgage Loan was less than 90% at the time of the origination of such
Original Mortgage Loan, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan
application, an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was obtained from
a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the originator, who had no interest,
direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the
security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the approval or
disapproval of the Mortgage Loan; such appraisal is in a form acceptable to
FNMA and FHLMC.
(39) None of the Initial Mortgage Loans is a graduated payment
mortgage loan or a growing equity mortgage loan, and none of the Initial
Mortgage Loans is subject to a buydown or similar arrangement.
(40) Any leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a term of not
less than five years in excess of the term of the related Mortgage Loan.
(41) The Mortgage Loans were selected from among the outstanding
adjustable-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans in the portfolios of the
Sellers at the Closing Date as to which the representations and warranties
made as to the Mortgage Loans set forth in this Schedule III-A can be made.
Such selection was not made in a manner intended to adversely affect the
interests of Certificateholders.
(42) Except for 928 Initial Mortgage Loans, each Initial Mortgage
Loan transferred and assigned to the Trustee on the Closing Date has a payment
date on or before November 1, 2005.
(43) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which an affidavit has
been delivered to the Trustee certifying that the original Mortgage Note is a
Lost Mortgage Note, if such Mortgage Loan is subsequently in default, the
enforcement of such Mortgage Loan or of the
S-III-A-6
related Mortgage by or on behalf of the Trustee will not be materially
adversely affected by the absence of the original Mortgage Note. A "Lost
Mortgage Note" is a Mortgage Note the original of which was permanently lost
or destroyed and has not been replaced.
(44) The Mortgage Loans, individually and in the aggregate, conform
in all material respects to the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus
Supplement.
(45) No Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through
March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act.
(46) None of the Mortgage Loans are "high cost" loans as defined by
applicable predatory and abusive lending laws.
(47) None of the Mortgage Loans are covered by the Home Ownership
and Equity Protection Act of 1994 ("HOEPA").
(48) No Mortgage Loan is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the
New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003 (N.J.S.A. 46:10B-22
et seq.).
(49) No Mortgage Loan is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as defined in the
New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004 (N.M. Stat. Xxx.
xx.xx. 58-21A-1 et seq.).
(50) All of the Mortgage Loans were originated in compliance with
all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable
anti-predatory and abusive lending laws.
(51) No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as
applicable, and with respect to the foregoing, the terms "High Cost Loan" and
"Covered Loan" have the meaning assigned to them in the then current Standard
& Poor's LEVELS(R) Version 5.6c Glossary Revised, Appendix E which is attached
hereto as Exhibit O (the "Glossary") where (x) a "High Cost Loan" is each loan
identified in the column "Category under applicable anti-predatory lending
law" of the table entitled "Standard & Poor's High Cost Loan Categorization"
in the Glossary as each such loan is defined in the applicable anti-predatory
lending law of the State or jurisdiction specified in such table and (y) a
"Covered Loan" is each loan identified in the column "Category under
applicable anti-predatory lending law" of the table entitled "Standard &

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as CWALT, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the "Certificates"),
and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by
the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account
for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the
Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any
liability under the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations
of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made
on the 25th day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on
the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the
applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be
distributed to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate
belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date
applicable to each Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month
next preceding the month of such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days
prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the
conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if
not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such
Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or
such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such
final distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
E-1
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such
amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the
Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of
the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency
maintained by the Trustee in New York, New York, accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee and
any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance
is less than or equal to 10% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, the
Master Servicer will have the option, subject to the limitations set forth in
the Agreement, to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans at a
purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no
such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created
by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in respect
thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to
be distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust
created by the Agreement continue beyond the
E-2

COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of , the proposed Transferee of an
Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate (the "Certificate") issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of _________ __,
2___ (the "Agreement"), by and among CWALT, Inc., as depositor (the
"Depositor"), Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (the "Company"), as a Seller, Park
Granada LLC, as a Seller, Park Monaco, Inc., as a Seller, Park Sienna LLC, as
a Seller (and together with the Company, Park Granada and Park Monaco, the
"Sellers"), Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, as Master Servicer and The
Bank of New York, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein
or in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this
affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to
Title I of ERISA or to section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, nor
is it acting on behalf of or with plan assets of any such plan. The Transferee
is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the Transfer, a
Permitted Transferee. The Transferee will endeavor to remain a Permitted
Transferee for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate for its own account.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a
tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if
such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability
for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit
that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax
will be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any
time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an
I-1
interest in such entity. The Transferee understands that such tax will not be
imposed for any period with respect to which the record holder furnishes to
the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted
Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual knowledge that
such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a
regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust
fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as
may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding interests in
pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.)
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of
the Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by
reference) and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by
and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in
the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit J-1 to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to
the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to
which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect
to the Class A-R Certificates.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is
______________.
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code section
7701(a)(30) and, unless the Transferor (or any subsequent transferor)
expressly waives such requirement, will not cause income from the Certificate
to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within
the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the Transferee or another
U.S. taxpayer.
10. The Transferee is aware that the Class A-R Certificates may be
"noneconomic residual interests" within the meaning of proposed Treasury
regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a
noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with
respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose
of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax. In
addition,
I-2
as the Holder of a noneconomic residual interest, the Transferee may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest and the
Transferee hereby represents that it intends to pay taxes associated with
holding the residual interest as they become due.
11. The Transferee has provided financial statements or other
financial information requested by the Transferor in connection with the
transfer of the Certificate to permit the Transferor to assess the financial
capability of the Transferee to pay such taxes. The Transferee historically
has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they
come due in the future.
12. Unless the Transferor (or any subsequent transferor) expressly
waives such requirement, the Transferee (and any subsequent transferee)
certifies (or will certify), respectively, that the transfer satisfies either
the "Asset Test" imposed by Treasury Regulation ss. 1.860E-1(c)(5) or the
"Formula Test" imposed by Treasury Regulation ss. 1.860E-1(c)(7).

WAIVER OF REQUIREMENT THAT TRANSFEREE CERTIFIES TRANSFER OF CERTIFICATE
SATISFIES CERTAIN REGULATORY "SAFE HARBORS"
The Transferor hereby waives the requirement that the Transferee
certify that the transfer of the Certificate satisfies either the "Asset Test"
imposed by Treasury Regulation ss. 1.860E-1(c)(5) or the "Formula Test"
imposed by Treasury Regulation ss. 1.860E-1(c)(7).

Certain Definitions
"Asset Test": A transfer satisfies the Asset Test if: (i) At the
time of the transfer, and at the close of each of the transferee's two fiscal
years preceding the transferee's fiscal year of transfer, the transferee's
gross assets for financial reporting purposes exceed $100 million and its net
assets for financial reporting purposes exceed $10 million. The gross assets
and net assets of a transferee do not include any obligation of any "related
person" or any other asset if a principal purpose for holding or acquiring the
other asset is to permit the transferee to satisfy such monetary conditions;
(ii) The transferee must be an "eligible corporation" and must agree in
writing that any subsequent transfer of the interest will be to another
eligible corporation in a transaction that satisfies paragraphs 9 through 11
of this Transfer Affidavit and the Asset Test. A transfer fails to meet the
Asset Test if the transferor knows, or has reason to know, that the transferee
will not honor the restrictions on subsequent transfers of the Certificate;
and (iii) A reasonable person would not conclude, based on the facts and
circumstances known to the transferor on or before the date of the transfer,
that the taxes associated with the Certificate will not be paid. The
consideration given to the transferee to acquire the Certificate is only one
factor to be considered, but the transferor will be deemed to know that the
transferee cannot or will not pay if the amount of consideration is so low
compared to the liabilities assumed that a reasonable person would conclude
that the taxes associated with holding the Certificate will not be paid. For
purposes of applying the Asset Test, (i) an "eligible corporation" means any
domestic C corporation (as defined in section 1361(a)(2) of the Code) other
than (A) a corporation which is exempt from, or is not subject to, tax under
section 11 of the Code, (B) an entity described in section 851(a) or 856(a) of
the Code, (C) A REMIC, or (D) an organization to which part I of subchapter T
of chapter 1 of subtitle A of the Code applies; (ii) a "related person" is any
person that (A) bears a relationship to the transferee enumerated in section
267(b) or 707(b)(1) of the Code, using "20 percent" instead of "50 percent"
where it appears under the provisions, or (B) is under common control (within
the meaning of section 52(a) and (b)) with the transferee.
"Formula Test": A transfer satisfies the formula test if the present
value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the
Certificate does not exceed the sum of (i) the present value of any
consideration given to the transferee to acquire the Certificate; (ii) the
present value of the expected future distributions on the Certificate; and
(iii) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding
the Certificate as the issuing REMIC generates losses. For purposes of
applying the Formula Test: (i) The transferee is assumed to pay tax at a rate
equal to the highest rate of tax specified in section 11(b)(1) of the Code. If
the transferee has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under section
55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income
in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate, then the
tax rate specified in section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of
the highest rate specified in section 11(b)(1) of the Code; (ii) The transfer
must satisfy paragraph 9 of the Transfer Affidavit; and (iii) Present values
are computed using a
I-6
discount rate equal to the Federal short-term rate prescribed by section
1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period
used by the taxpayer.
"Ownership Interest": As to any Certificate, any ownership interest
in such Certificate, including any interest in such Certificate as the Holder
thereof and any other interest therein, whether direct or indirect, legal or
beneficial.
"Permitted Transferee": Any person other than (i) the United States,
any State or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality
of any of the foregoing, (ii) a foreign government, International Organization
or any agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an
organization (except certain farmers' cooperatives described in section 521 of
the Code) that is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including
the tax imposed by section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable
income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in section 860E(c)(1) of the
Code) with respect to any Class A-R Certificate, (iv) rural electric and
telephone cooperatives described in section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) an
"electing large partnership" as defined in section 775 of the Code, (vi) a
Person that is not a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation,
partnership, or other entity (treated as a corporation or a partnership for
federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the
United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, or an estate
whose income from sources without the United States is includible in gross
income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its
connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States,
or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary
supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States
persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trustor
unless such Person has furnished the transferor and the Trustee with a duly
completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, and (vii) any other Person so
designated by the Trustee based upon an Opinion of Counsel that the Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate to such Person may cause
any REMIC formed under the Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are Outstanding. The terms "United States," "State" and
"International Organization" shall have the meanings set forth in section 7701
of the Code or successor provisions. A corporation will not be treated as an
instrumentality of the United States or of any State or political subdivision
thereof for these purposes if all of its activities are subject to tax and,
with the exception of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority
of its board of directors is not selected by such government unit.
"Person": Any individual, corporation, limited liability company,
partnership, joint venture, bank, joint stock company, trust (including any
beneficiary thereof), unincorporated organization or government or any agency
or political subdivision thereof.
"Transfer": Any direct or indirect transfer or sale of any Ownership
Interest in a Certificate, including the acquisition of a Certificate by the
Depositor.
"Transferee": Any Person who is acquiring by Transfer any Ownership
Interest in a Certificate.

Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement
--------------------------------
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class A-R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(1) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class A-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.
(2) Except in connection with (i) the registration of the Tax
Matters Person Certificate in the name of the Trustee or (ii) any
registration in the name of, or transfer of a Class A-R Certificate to,
an affiliate of the Depositor (either directly or through a nominee) on
the Closing Date, no Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee
shall not register the Transfer of any Class A-R Certificate unless, the
Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer
Affidavit") of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(3) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class A-R Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Class A-R Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or
agent in connection with any Transfer of a Class A-R Certificate and (C)
not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate, or to
cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate to
any other Person, if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(4) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in
a Class A-R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder
of a Class A-R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored
to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of Transfer of such Class A-R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class A-R
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this
Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was
registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit and Transferor
Certificate. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover
from any Holder of a Class A-R Certificate that was in fact not a
Permitted
I-8
Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as
it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such
Class A-R Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so
recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the
last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(5) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed under section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of
a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate to any
Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Class A-R Certificate set forth
in this section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of
the legend on a Class A-R Certificate may be deleted) with respect to
Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Sellers
or the Master Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause any constituent REMIC of any REMIC formed
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are
outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a
Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any
ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate hereby consents to any amendment
of this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the
Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of,
or any beneficial interest in, a Class A-R Certificate is not transferred,
directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b)
to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Class A-R Certificate that
is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a
Permitted Transferee.

APPENDIX E - Standard & Poor's Predatory Lending Categories
-----------------------------------------------------------
Standard & Poor's has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory
lending laws in the Jurisdictions listed below into three categories based
upon a combination of factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated
with the assignee liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in
those laws. Note that certain loans classified by the relevant statute as
Covered are included in Standard & Poor's High Cost Loan Category because they
included thresholds and tests that are typical of what is generally considered
High Cost by the industry.
