shall be allocated first, to reduce the interest accrued on the Class C
Certificates in the related Accrual Period up to an amount equal to one month’s

Accrual Period on the Class A Certificates and the Subordinated Certificates
on
a pro
rata
basis
based on, and to the extent of, one month’s interest at the then applicable
respective Pass-Through Rate on the respective Certificate Principal Balance
of
each such Certificate.
For
purposes of calculating the amount of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for
the
REMIC 1 Regular Interests for any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount
of any
Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and any Relief Act Interest Shortfalls
incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans for any Distribution Date shall

ORIGINAL
ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section
2.01. Conveyance
of Mortgage Loans.
The
Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse,
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer,
all the right, title and interest of the Depositor, including any security
interest therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in and to: (i) each Mortgage
Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the related Stated
Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, all interest and principal received
thereon after the Cut-off Date (other than interest and principal due on
such
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date); (ii) property which secured
each
such Mortgage Loan and which has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in
lieu of
foreclosure; (iii) its interest in any insurance policies in respect of the
Mortgage Loans; (iv) all proceeds of any of the foregoing; (v) the rights
of the
Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; and (vi) all other
assets
included or to be included in the Trust Fund.
In
connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does hereby deliver
to, and deposit with, the Trustee or its designated agent (the “Custodian”), the
following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so
transferred and assigned (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, a “Mortgage
File”):
(i) the
original Mortgage Note, endorsed either (A) in blank or (B) in the following
form: “Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee,
without recourse”, or with respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost
Note Affidavit stating that the original Mortgage Note was lost, misplaced
or
destroyed, together with a copy of the related Mortgage Note; provided, however,
that such substitutions of Lost Note Affidavits for original Mortgage Notes
may
occur only with respect to Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of which is less than or equal to 2.0% of the Pool Balance as of
the
Cut-off Date;
(ii) the
original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, and the original recorded
power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney,
with evidence of recording thereon or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney
has
been submitted for recording but has not been returned from the applicable
public recording office, has been lost or is not otherwise available, a copy
of
such Mortgage or power of attorney, as the case may be, certified to be a
true
and complete copy of the original submitted for recording;
(iii) an
original Assignment, in form and substance acceptable for recording. The
Mortgage shall be assigned either (A) in blank or (B) to “Deutsche Bank National
Trust Company, as Trustee, without recourse”;
(iv) an
original copy of any intervening Assignment, showing a complete chain of
assignments;
(v) the
original or a certified copy of the lender’s title insurance policy;
and
(vi) the
original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or
substitution agreement, if any.
With
respect to up to 30% of the Mortgage Loans, the Depositor may deliver all
or a
portion of each related Mortgage File to the Trustee not later than five
Business Days after the Closing Date (such Mortgage Loans, the “Delayed Delivery
Mortgage Loans”).
If
any of
the documents referred to in Section 2.01(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has as
of the
Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned
from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such
public
recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations
of
the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon
(1)
delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian no later than the Closing Date,
of a
copy of each such document certified by the Servicer, in its capacity as
Seller,
in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the
case
of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted
for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Servicer, in its capacity
as Seller, delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, promptly upon receipt
thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified by the
applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original. If the original lender’s title insurance policy, or a certified copy
thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(v) above, the Depositor
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian, the
original or a copy of a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary
report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company, with the
original or a certified copy thereof to be delivered to the Trustee or the
Custodian, promptly upon receipt thereof. The Servicer or the Depositor shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian promptly
upon
receipt thereof any other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to,
any
original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage
Loan.
Upon
discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or
that
a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Servicer, in its capacity
as
Seller, shall have 90 days to cure such defect or deliver such missing document
to the Trustee or the Custodian, to the extent required pursuant to Section
2.03. If the Seller does not cure such defect or deliver such missing document
within such time period, the Servicer, in its capacity as Seller, shall either
repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section
2.03,
to the extent required pursuant to Section 2.03.
The
Depositor (at the expense of the Seller) shall cause the Assignments which
were
delivered in blank to be completed and shall cause all Assignments referred
to
in Section 2.01(iii) hereof and, to the extent necessary, in Section 2.01(iv)
hereof to be recorded. The Depositor shall furnish the Trustee, or its
designated agent, with a copy of each Assignment submitted for recording.
In the
event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of
a
defect therein, the Depositor shall promptly have a substitute Assignment
prepared or have such defect cured, as the case may be, and thereafter cause
each such Assignment to be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, however, for administrative convenience and facilitation of
servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall not be required
to
be submitted for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located
in
Maryland) unless such failure to record would result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates
(with respect to the Class A Certificates only, without regard to the
Certificate Policy; provided further, however, each Assignment shall be
submitted for recording by the Seller (or by the Servicer at the expense
of the
Seller in the case of clauses (v) and (vi) below) in the manner described
above,
at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Servicer or the Trustee, upon the earliest
to occur of: (i) direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
25%
of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination,
(iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Seller,
(iv)
the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof,
(v)
if the Seller is not the Servicer, with respect to any one Assignment, the
occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor
under the related Mortgage and (vi) with respect to any Assignments, the
payment
in full of the related Mortgage Note if required in the applicable jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Seller is unable to pay the cost of
recording the Assignments, such expense shall be paid by the Trustee and
shall
be reimbursable to the Trustee as an Extraordinary Trust Fund
Expense.
The
Depositor herewith delivers to the Trustee an executed original of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement.
The
Servicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan
entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their
execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian
with
a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within
two
weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted
for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 270
days
of its submission for recordation. In the event that the Servicer cannot
provide
a copy of such document certified by the public recording office within such
270
day period, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, within such 270
day
period, an Officer’s Certificate of the Servicer which shall (A) identify the
recorded document, (B) state that the recorded document has not been delivered
to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office,
(C) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording
office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, if known,
and
(D) specify the date the applicable recorded document is expected to be
delivered to the Custodian, and, upon receipt of a copy of such document
certified by the public recording office, the Servicer shall immediately
deliver
such document to the Custodian. In the event the appropriate public recording
office will not certify as to the accuracy of such document, the Servicer
shall
deliver a copy of such document certified by an officer of the Servicer to
be a
true and complete copy of the original to the Custodian.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within five Business Days after
the
Closing Date, the Depositor shall either:
(x) deliver
to the Trustee the Mortgage File as required pursuant to this Section 2.01
for
each Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loan; or
(y)(A) cause
the
Seller to repurchase the Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) substitute
a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loan,
which
repurchase or substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject
to
the conditions in Section 2.03 (treating each such Delayed Delivery Mortgage
Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section 2.03);
provided,
however, that if the Depositor fails to deliver a Mortgage File for any Delayed
Delivery Mortgage Loan within the period specified herein, the Depositor
shall
cause the Seller to use its best reasonable efforts to effect a substitution,
rather than a repurchase of, such Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loan; 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 Delayed
Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather the Seller shall have five (5) Business
Days
to cure such failure to deliver. At the end of such period, the Trustee shall
send a certification for the Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during
such period in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.
Section
2.02. Acceptance
by Trustee.
Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below
and
any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph
below, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section
2.01 above and all other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and
declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents
delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold
all
such assets and such other assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in
trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.
The
Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer, to execute and deliver (or cause the Custodian to execute and deliver)
to the Depositor on or prior to the Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt
of
the original Mortgage Notes (with any exceptions noted), substantially in
the
form attached as Exhibit F-3 hereto.
The
Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer, to review, or that it has reviewed pursuant to Section 2.01 (or
to
cause the Custodian to review or that it has caused the Custodian to have
reviewed), each Mortgage File on or prior to the Closing Date, with respect
to
each Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any document delivered after the
Startup
Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan, within 45 days after the assignment thereof). The Trustee
further
agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer,
to certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, within
45
days after the Closing Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (or, with
respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of
receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within 45
days
after the assignment thereof) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any
Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto
as
not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be
delivered to it pursuant Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its possession,
(ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated,
damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its
examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1) and (2) of the Mortgage
Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File.
It
is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee (or the
Custodian, as applicable) is under no duty or obligation to inspect, review
or
examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to
determine that they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented
purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than
what they purport to be on their face.
Within
the year commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary
date
of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver (or cause the Custodian to
deliver) to the Depositor, the Seller, the Certificate Insurer and the Servicer
a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2 evidencing
the
completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
If
in the
process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case
may
be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee (or the Custodian,
as
applicable) finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage
File to be missing or to not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, at the
conclusion of its review the Trustee shall indicate such on the exception
report
annexed to the final certification sent to the Seller, the Depositor, the
Certificate Insurer and the Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by
the
Seller, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer or the Servicer (or upon receipt
by the Trustee of written notification of such breach) of a breach of any
of the
representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects
such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders (without regard
to
the Policy) in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall
give
prompt written notice to the other parties to this Agreement.
Section
2.03. Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller.
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of written notice of any document which does not conform
to
the requirements of Section 2.01, or that a document is missing from a Mortgage
File, or of the breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan
which
in any such case materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage
Loan or
the interest therein of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer,
the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Seller, the Depositor, the Certificate
Insurer
and the Servicer of such defect, missing document or breach and request that
the
Seller, if and to the extent required under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within
90
days from the date the Seller was notified of such missing document, defect
or
breach, and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure
such
defect or breach in all material respects during such period, if and to the
extent required under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Servicer
or the
Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.02(b), shall enforce the Seller’s
obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and cause the Seller
to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on
or
prior to the Determination Date following the expiration of such 90 day period;
provided, that in connection with any such breach that could not reasonably
have
been cured within such 90 day period, if the Seller shall have commenced
to cure
such breach within such 90 day period, the Seller shall be permitted to proceed
thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within the additional
period provided under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase
Price
for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the Collection Account,
and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer
of such
deposit, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and shall
execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Seller shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary to
vest in
the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and the Trustee shall
have
no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood
that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency
of
such assignment for its intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such
Mortgage Loan as provided above, the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan
to be
removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage
Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the
manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d). It is
understood and agreed (i) that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to
repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document
is
missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which
such
a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy
against
the Seller respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer and (ii)
that
the Seller shall not have any obligation to provide any such cure, repurchase
or
substitution remedy with respect to any such defect or breach to the extent
such
defect or breach occurred as a result of the problem associated with the
related
Mortgage Loan that is identified on Schedule II to the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement.
(b) As
promptly as practicable following the earlier of discovery by the Depositor
or
receipt of notice by the Depositor of the breach of any representation, warranty
or covenant of the Depositor set forth in Section 2.06 which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders or the Certificate
Insurer in any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall cure such breach in all
material respects.
(c) As
promptly as practicable following the earlier of discovery by the Servicer
or
receipt of notice by the Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty
or covenant of the Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage
Loan,
the Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.
(d) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage
Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the last Business
Day
that is two years after the Closing Date. The final maturity date of such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan must be on or before June 2011. As to
any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller
delivering to the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans,
the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the Assignment to the Trustee, and such
other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon,
as are
required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that
each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof
and specifying the Substitution Adjustment (as described below), if any,
in
connection with such substitution. The Trustee shall acknowledge receipt
for
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business
Days
thereafter, shall review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and
deliver
to the Servicer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or
Loans, a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
F-1,
with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date
of
substitution, the Trustee shall deliver to the Servicer a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto with respect to such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
in the
month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will be retained
by the
Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders
will
reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan
in the Remittance Period ending in the month of substitution and the Seller
shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received
in
respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall give written notice
to
the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer that such substitution
has
taken place, and the Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement
and
the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon
such
substitution by the Seller, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects
to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
including all applicable representations and warranties thereof included
in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as of the date of substitution.
For
any
month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine
the
amount (the “Substitution Adjustment”), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase
Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate, as to each
such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the Stated Principal Balance thereof
as
of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on such Stated
Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such
substitution, the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer
for deposit in the Collection Account, to the extent required under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, an amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment,
if any,
and the Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan
or Loans and certification by the Servicer of such deposit, shall release
to the
Seller the Mortgage File or Files with respect to the applicable Deleted
Mortgage Loan(s), and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer
or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall deliver to
it and
as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee
and the Certificate Insurer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust
Fund,
including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited
transactions” under Section 860F(a)(l) of the Code or on “contributions after
the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(l) of the Code or (b) any REMIC to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. If
such
Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such substitution may only
be
effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be
given.
(e) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer or the Servicer or receipt
of written notice by the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute
a
“qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the
party discovering such fact shall, within two Business Days, give written
notice
thereof to the other parties hereto. In connection therewith, the Servicer
or
the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.02(b), shall enforce the obligations
of the Seller to repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the
affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt
of
such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase
or
substitution shall be made by the Seller if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status
as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant made by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement. Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same
manner
as set forth in Section 2.03(d). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller,
as
the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the
same
manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan
repurchased pursuant to Section 2.03(a).

ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
3.01. Servicer
to Act as Servicer.
The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the
Trust
and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and
the Certificate Insurer (as determined by the Servicer in its reasonable
judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage
Loans
and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner in which
it
services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving
due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of mortgage
lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without
regard to:
(i) any
relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the
ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate
of the Servicer;
(iii) the
Servicer’s obligation to make Advances or Servicing Advances; or
(iv) the
Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services
hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.
Subject
only to the above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement
and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have full power and authority,
acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do
or
cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting
the
generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or in the name
of a
Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee, when the
Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with
the
servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the
Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee, and upon notice
to
the Trustee and the Certificateholders, any and all instruments of satisfaction
or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged
Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu
of
foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold
or
cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Trustee and
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans
in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall provide to
the
Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby. Subject to
Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Servicer,
and furnish to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer any special or limited powers
of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer
or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties
hereunder; provided, such limited powers of attorney or other documents shall
be
prepared by the Servicer and submitted to the Trustee for execution. The
Trustee
shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers
under
such powers of attorney.
Subject
to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the servicing standards of the
preceding paragraphs, the Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced
funds
as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from
the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11.
Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in effecting the timely
payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the
purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the
unpaid Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any
future
advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03)
and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the
Stated
Principal Balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of
principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless,
as
provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the
Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably
foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any
term of
any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of
such
Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder) and (B) any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited
transactions” or “contributions after the startup date” under the REMIC
Provisions. The Servicer shall also not permit extensions beyond the Final
Distribution Date.
Section
3.02. Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between Servicer and Sub-Servicers; Special Servicing.
(a) The
Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers for the
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that
such
agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating
Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates (without regard to the
Policy).
Each
Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized and licensed to transact business in
the
state or states where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are
situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the
Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing
Agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer.
Each
Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming
to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of
the
Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer
will
examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms
thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent
with
any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer and the Sub-Servicers
may
enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into
different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any
such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form
shall
be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66%
of
the Voting Rights (excluding any Certificates held by the Seller, the Servicer
or any Affiliate thereof) and the Certificate Insurer (unless the Policy
has
been canceled upon the payment in full of the Insured Certificates or a
Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing); provided, further,
that the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66%
of the
Voting Rights (excluding any Certificates held by the Seller, the Servicer
or
any Affiliate thereof) or the Certificate Insurer shall not be required (i)
to
cure any ambiguity or defect in a Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) to correct,
modify or supplement any provisions of a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or (iii)
to
make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under
a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, which, in each case, shall not be inconsistent with
the
provisions of this Agreement. Any variation without the consent of the Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights (excluding
any
Certificates held by the Seller, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof) and
the
Certificate Insurer (unless the Policy has been canceled upon the payment
in
full of the Insured Certificates or a Certificate Insurer Default has occurred
and is continuing) from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating
to
insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits
and
charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances
by
the Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent
with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver
to the
Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or
modifications thereof, promptly upon the Servicer’s execution and delivery of
such instruments.
(b) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the
Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders, shall enforce
the
obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement
and
of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without
limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments
as
required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on
account
of missing or defective documentation or on account of a breach of a
representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a). Such
enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,
termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate
remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at
such
time as the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require
were it
the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs
of
such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only
(i)
from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if
any,
that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage
Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees
against the party against whom such enforcement is directed. Enforcement
of the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement against the Seller shall be effected by
the
Servicer to the extent it is not the Seller, and otherwise by the Trustee
in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph.

3.03. Successor
Sub-Servicers.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the
rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing
Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing
obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer
without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Servicer,
and
the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or
shall
enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which
qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may
be
immediately terminated by the Servicer or the Trustee (if the Trustee is
acting
as Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
in the
event that the Servicer (or the Trustee, if such party is then acting as
Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer (including
termination due to a Servicer Event of Termination).
Section
3.04. Liability
of the Servicer.
Notwithstanding
any Sub-Servicing Agreement or the provisions of this Agreement relating
to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference
to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall
remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and
the
Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans
in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to
the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone
were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be
entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for indemnification
of
the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing contained in this Agreement
shall
be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section
3.05. No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and the Trustee or
Certificateholders.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone,
and neither the Trustee nor the Certificateholders shall be deemed parties
thereto, and neither the Trustee nor the Certificateholders shall have any
claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the
Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Servicer shall be solely
liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether
the
Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such
fees.
Section
3.06. Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trustee.
In
the
event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including
by
reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination), the successor
Servicer or the Trustee if it becomes successor Servicer shall thereupon
assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Sub-Servicing
Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects
to
terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided
in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee (or the successor Servicer
appointed pursuant to Section 7.02) shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03,
to
have assumed all of the departing Servicer’s interest therein and to have
replaced the departing Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement
to
the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the
assuming party, except that (i) the departing Servicer shall not thereby
be
relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement
that
arose before it ceased to be the Servicer and (ii) neither the Trustee nor
any
successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation
of the Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Servicer.
The
Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the
assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party. All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid
by
the predecessor Servicer (or, if the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee,
the
Servicer that immediately preceded the Trustee) upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor Servicer defaults in
its
obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer
or the Trustee (in which case, the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of
the
Trust Fund).
Section
3.07. Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for
under
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent
such
procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions
of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as
it
would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans
and
held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may
in its
discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty
interest, or (ii) subject to the last sentence of Section 3.01, extend the
due
dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not
greater than 180 days; provided, however, that any extension pursuant to
clause
(ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan
for
purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event
of
any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Servicer shall make
timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section
4.03 and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan
without modification thereof by reason of such arrangement. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment
of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Servicer,
consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive,
modify
or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would
change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or
extend
the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related
Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final
satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent to the postponement of strict
compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any Mortgagor
(any and all such waivers, modifications, variances, forgiveness of principal
or
interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively referred to herein as
“forbearance”); provided, however, that (i) the Servicer shall determine that
such forbearance is not materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders (without taking into account the Policy) (taking into
account
any estimated loss that might result absent such action) and is expected
to
minimize the loss on such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the Servicer shall not initiate
any new lending to such Mortgagor through the Trust Fund and (iii) in no
event
shall the Servicer grant any such forbearance (other than as permitted by
the
second sentence of this Section) with respect to any one Mortgage Loan more
than
once in any 12 month period or more than three times over the life of such
Mortgage Loan. The Servicer’s analysis supporting any forbearance and the
conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of Section 3.01 shall
be
reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.
Section
3.08. Sub-Servicing
Accounts.
In
those
cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and
maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with
all
requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it customarily
deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more
than
one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation
to
the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter
deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than
two
Business Days after the receipt of such amounts. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such
proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later
than
two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing
Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to
have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such
payments.
Section
3.09. Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts.
The
Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and
maintained, one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all
Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall
be
Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in
which
it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, all Escrow
Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter
deposit
such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no event more than two
Business Days after the receipt of such Escrow Payments, all Escrow Payments
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of effecting the
timely payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement.
Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to: (i)
effect
payment of taxes, assessments and comparable items in a manner and at a time
that assures that the lien priority of the Mortgage is not jeopardized (or,
with
respect to the payment of taxes, in a manner and at a time that avoids the
loss
of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result
of a
tax lien); (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided
in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out of related collections for any
Servicing Advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and
assessments); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to
be
overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors
on balances in the Servicing Account; (v) to pay the Servicer excess interest
on
funds in the Servicing Accounts to the extent permitted as provided below;
or
(vi) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of the
Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans
under this Agreement in accordance with Article X. In the event the Servicer
shall deposit in a Servicing Account any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Servicing Account,
any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer will be
responsible for the administration of the Servicing Accounts and will be
obligated to make Servicing Advances to such accounts when and as necessary
to
avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged Property, or which
the
Servicer knows, or in the exercise of the required standard of care of the
Servicer hereunder should know, is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged
Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien.
If any
such payment has not been made and the Servicer receives notice of a tax
lien
with respect to the Mortgage being imposed, the Servicer will, within 10
Business Days of such notice, advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary
to
discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property. As part of its servicing duties,
the Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds
in
the Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent
that
interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay
such
interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor.
The
Servicer may pay to itself any excess interest on funds in the Servicing
Accounts, to the extent such action is in conformity with the Servicing
Standard, is permitted by law and such amounts are not required to be paid
to
Mortgagors or used for any of the other purposes set forth above.
Section
3.10. Collection
Account; Distribution Account.
(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to
be
established and maintained, one or more accounts (such account or accounts,
the
“Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders. The Collection Account shall
be
an Eligible Account. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit
or
cause to be deposited in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits
payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage
loan
servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business
Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the
Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s
receipt thereof, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder,
the
following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the Mortgage
Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) or payments (other than Principal
Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date, but allocable
to a
Remittance Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments (but not
Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee) on each
Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than proceeds collected
in
respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid in connection with
a
purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01)
and
Subsequent Recoveries;
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with
any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with
Section 2.03, Section 3.16(c) or Section 10.01; and
(vii) all
amounts required to be deposited in connection with Substitution Adjustments
pursuant to Section 2.03.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments in the nature of Servicing Fees, late payment charges,
assumption fees, modification fees, insufficient funds charges and ancillary
income need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Collection Account and
may
be retained by the Servicer as additional compensation. In the event the
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required
to be
deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection
Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(such account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the
benefit of the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders.
The
Distribution Account will be an Eligible Account. On behalf of the Trust
Fund,
the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds
for
deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time
(i) on
the Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated
without regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that
may
be withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution
Date
then on deposit in the Collection Account and any other amounts deposited
hereunder that are required to be deposited in the Distribution Account funds
reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.27, and (ii) on each Business Day as of
the
commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds
$75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding sentence,
the
amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account constitutes an
Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Eligible
Account.” If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 as
of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Collection Account
constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition
of “Eligible Account,” the Servicer shall, on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time
on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all amounts
payable or reimbursable to the Servicer, the Trustee, the Seller or any
Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons
entitled thereto.
(c) Funds
in
the Collection Account and the Distribution Account shall be invested in
Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section
3.12. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer
of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when established
and
prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Servicer,
the
Certificate Insurer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution
Account when established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) Funds
held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer
to
the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution Account
and
must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set forth in the
definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed
to be
a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the Trustee shall
have
the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection
(d).
In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it
may at
any time request in writing that the Trustee withdraw such amount from the
Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein
to
the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Servicer shall deliver to
the
Trustee from time to time for deposit, and the Trustee shall so deposit,
in the
Distribution Account:
(i) any
Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;
(ii) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in
connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any
amounts to be paid in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties pursuant to Section 10.01;
(iv) any
Compensating Interest to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection
with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall;
(v) any
amounts required to be paid or reimbursed to the Trustee pursuant to the
Agreement (to the extent required to be paid by the Servicer), including,
but
not limited to Section 3.06 and Section 7.02 (to the extent required to be
paid
by the Servicer); and
(vi) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with
any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Distribution Account.
Section
3.11. Withdrawals
from the Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) The
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account
for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.03:
(i) to
remit
to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts required
to
be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted
pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for (a) any unreimbursed Advances
to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of
the
related Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance
Proceeds on Mortgage Loans with respect to which such Advances were made
in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03 or (b) any unreimbursed Advances
with respect to the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan that are Nonrecoverable
Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds,
Subsequent Recoveries and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such
Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer for such unreimbursed
Advances;
(iii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid
Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation
Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
and
(c) any Servicing Advances with respect to the final liquidation of a Mortgage
Loan that are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late
Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect
to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer for Servicing Advances;
(iv) to
pay to
the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee)
on the
Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds
deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to
pay to
the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03
or
Section 3.16(c) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase
or substitution, as the case may be;
(vi) to
reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or Servicing Advance previously made
which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4.03;
(vii) to
pay,
or to reimburse the Servicer for Servicing Advances in respect of, expenses
incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
3.16(b);
(viii) to
reimburse the Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by or reimbursable
to the Servicer or the Depositor pursuant to Section 6.03;
(ix) to
reimburse the Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with any breach or defect giving rise to
the
purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement, including any expenses
arising out of the enforcement of the purchase obligation (other than with
respect to a breach caused by the Servicer);
(x) to
pay
itself any Prepayment Interest Excess;
(xi) to
pay
itself to the extent permitted under Section 3.06;
(xii) to
withdraw any funds deposited in the Collection Account in error;
and
(xiii) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 10.01.
The
foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection Account shall be
exclusive. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account
any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw
such
amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
The
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage
Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal
from
the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant
to
subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) above. The Servicer shall
provide written notification to the Trustee, on or prior to the next succeeding
Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection
Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above; provided that an Officer’s Certificate
in the form described under Section 4.03(d) shall suffice for such written
notification to the Trustee in respect hereof.
(b) The
Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution
Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:
(i) to
make
distributions in accordance with Section 4.01;
(ii) to
pay
itself the Trustee Fee pursuant to Section 4.01 and Section 8.05;
(iii) to
pay
any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to Section 9.01(g);
(iv) to
clear
and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 10.01;
(v) to
pay
any amounts required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement,
including but not limited to funds required to be paid pursuant to Section
2.01,
Section 3.06, Section 7.02, Section 8.05 and Section 9.01(c);
(vi) [reserved];
(vii) to
pay to
the Servicer as servicing compensation any interest or investment income
earned
on funds on deposit in the Distribution Account to the extent provided in
Section 3.12(b); and
(viii) to
withdraw any funds deposited in the Distribution Account in error;
Section
3.12. Investment
of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account.
(a) The
Servicer shall direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection
Account and the Distribution Account, and the Trustee may direct any depository
institution maintaining the Distribution Account (each such account, for
purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”) to invest the funds in
such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest
or
sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later
than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person
other
than the Trustee is the obligor thereon or if such investment is managed
or
advised by a Person other than the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee,
and
(ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor
thereon. Funds in the Distribution Account may also be held uninvested. All
such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.
Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of
the
Trustee (in its capacity as such), or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee.
The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to
investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account and the
Distribution Account and any income realized thereon) over each such investment,
and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall
be
delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document
of
transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or
its
nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at
any
time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee
shall:
|
(x)
|
consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment
thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise
mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts
then
payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn
on such
date; and
|
|
(y)
|
demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination
by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such Permitted Investment
would
not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
on
deposit in the Investment Account, it being understood and agreed
that the
Trustee shall have no duty to monitor investments in the Investment
Accounts.
|
(b) All
income realized from the investment of funds on deposit in the Collection
Account, the Distribution Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf
of
the Servicer shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject
to
its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23, as applicable.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account
or any REO Account, as applicable, the amount of any loss of principal incurred
in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such account
immediately upon realization of such loss. The Trustee or its Affiliates
are
permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in
the
Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser,
administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with
respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to
effect
transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions
in certain Permitted Investments. The Trustee does not guarantee the performance
of any Permitted Investment.
Section
3.13. [Reserved].
Section
3.14. Maintenance
of Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
The
Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or
policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, which policy or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans,
unless
the Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from the Rating
Agencies. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form and
amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless
the
Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from the Rating Agencies.
The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an
Affiliate of the Servicer has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond
coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and
omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without
thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. The Servicer shall also cause
each Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and
omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.
Section
3.15. Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale”
clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer
shall
not be required to take such action if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged
Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the
conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage related thereto
and
the consent of the mortgagee under the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage is not
otherwise so required under the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage as a condition
to
the transfer. The Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited
by
law from doing so. If the Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under
applicable law to enforce such “due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other
conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the
Servicer will enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or
with
the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is proposed to be
conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note
and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains
liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution
of
liability agreement with such person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor
is released from liability and such person is substituted as the Mortgagor
and
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note; provided, that no such substitution
shall be effective unless such person satisfies the underwriting criteria
of the
Servicer and has a credit risk rating at least equal to that of the original
Mortgagor. In connection with any assumption or substitution, the Servicer
shall
apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures
as
shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and
as it
applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. Any fee collected by
the
Servicer in respect of an assumption, modification or substitution of liability
agreement shall be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing
compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of
the
Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and
the
amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise
required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee
that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been
completed by forwarding to the Trustee the executed original of such
substitution, modification or assumption agreement, which document shall
be
added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered
a
part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and
instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed
to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage
that
is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
Section
3.16. Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The
Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, 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 pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings;
provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing
Advances by the Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23.
The
foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer
shall
not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property
unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase
the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement
to
itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the
Trust
Fund or the Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be
a
“mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to
time,
or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined,
based
on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person who regularly
conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards,
that:
|
(1)
|
such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental
laws or,
if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust
Fund
to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property
into
compliance therewith; and
|
|
(2)
|
there
are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating
to the
use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous
materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which
investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation
could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation,
or
that if any such materials are present for which such action could
be
required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the
Trust Fund
to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged
Property.
|
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall
be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(vii),
such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring
any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall
take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust
Fund;
provided, that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer pursuant to this Section
3.16(b) shall constitute Servicing Advances, subject to Section 4.03(d).
The
cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11(a)(iii)
and
(a)(vii), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received
in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c) The
Servicer may agree to a modification of any Mortgage Loan (a “Modified Mortgage
Loan”) at the request of the related Mortgagor if (i) the modification is in
lieu of a refinancing and the Mortgage Rate on the Modified Mortgage Loan,
as
modified, is approximately a prevailing market rate for newly-originated
Mortgage Loans having similar terms and (ii) the Servicer purchases the Modified
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund as described below. Effective immediately
after the deposit of the Purchase Price by the Servicer, all interest of
the
Trustee in the Modified Mortgage Loan shall automatically be deemed transferred
and assigned to the Servicer and all benefits and burdens of ownership thereof,
including the right to accrued interest thereon from the date of the deposit
of
the Purchase Price and the risk of default thereon, shall pass to the Servicer.
The 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.
The
Servicer shall deposit the Purchase Price for any Modified Mortgage Loan
in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(vii) 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 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 Servicer any Modified
Mortgage Loan previously transferred and assigned pursuant hereto. The Servicer
covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee and 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 Section
3.16(c), any holding of a Modified Mortgage Loan by the Trust Fund or any
purchase of a Modified Mortgage Loan by the Servicer (but such obligation
shall
not prevent the Servicer or any other appropriate Person from contesting
any
such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Servicer from
withholding payment of such tax, but not any related indemnification, if
permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The 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.
In no
event shall the Servicer have the discretion to sell a delinquent or defaulted
Mortgage Loan.
(d) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as
any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent
Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will
be
applied in the following order of priority: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees;
second, to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Advances pursuant
to
Section 3.11(a)(ii); third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage
Loan,
to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior
to the
Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in
connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and fourth, as a recovery
of
principal of the Mortgage Loan. The portion of the recovery so allocated
to
unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).
Section
3.17. Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee two executed copies
of
a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E (which certification shall
include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received
in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited)
signed by a Servicing Officer (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format
that
will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer)
and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Trustee shall, within five Business Days,
release
and send by overnight mail, at the expense of the Servicer, the related Mortgage
File to the Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument
of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection
Account or the Distribution Account.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon any request made
by or
on behalf of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of two copies of a
Request
for Release in the form of Exhibit E signed by a Servicing Officer (or in
a
mutually agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on
its
face, originate from a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File
to
the Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Servicer, execute
such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings.
Such Request for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every
document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee when
the
need therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan
has
been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan
have
been deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document
has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public
official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal
action
or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either
judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered, or caused to
be
delivered, to the Trustee an additional Request for Release certifying as
to
such liquidation or action or proceedings. Upon the request of the Trustee,
the
Servicer shall provide notice to the Trustee of the name and address of the
Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the
purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of two copies of a Request
for Release from a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was
liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection
with
such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account
have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property,
one copy of such Request for Release with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall
be
released by the Trustee to the Servicer or its designee.
(c) Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, copies of,
any
court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the
foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal
action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note
or
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies
or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at
law
or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such
pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the
reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and
delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the
lien
of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion
of
the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.
Section
3.18. Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for the activities of the Servicer hereunder, the Servicer shall
be
entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable
solely
from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section
3.24. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing
Fees out of Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries or Liquidation Proceeds
to
the extent permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii). The right to receive the Servicing
Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with
the
transfer of all of the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer may pay from the Servicing
Fee
any amounts due to a Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered
into under Section 3.02.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges,
insufficient funds charges, Prepayment Charges, ancillary income or otherwise
shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges
are
received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to
Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account and pursuant
to
Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing
compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject
to
Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
(including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to the extent
such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer
and
servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer) and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.
In
addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to any Prepayment Interest Excess,
which it may withdraw from the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(x).
Section
3.19. Reports
to the Trustee; Collection Account Statements.
Not
later
than twenty days after each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall forward,
upon
request, to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the Depositor, the most
current available bank statement for the Collection Account. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder or
Certificate Owner, to the Certificate Insurer and to any Person identified
to
the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request at
the
expense of the requesting party; provided, that such statement is delivered
by
the Servicer to the Trustee.
Section
3.20. Statement
as to Compliance.
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee via electronic mail
(XXXXX.Xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xx.xxx), the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and
the
Rating Agencies on or before March 15 of each year, commencing in 2007, an
officer’s certificate, certifying that with respect to the period ending
December 31st of the prior year: (i) the Servicer or such Servicing Officer,
as
applicable, has reviewed the activities of the Servicer during the preceding
calendar year or portion thereof and its performance under this Agreement
and
(ii) to the best of the Servicer’s or such Servicing Officer’s knowledge, as
applicable, based on such review, the Servicer has performed and fulfilled
its
duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement in all material
respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the
fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or obligations, specifying
each
such default known to such Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof.
Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting
party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Trustee.
In
addition to the foregoing, the Servicer will, to the extent reasonable, give
any
other servicing information required by the Commission pursuant to applicable
law.
Section
3.21. Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation Reports.
The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
all
applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria (as set forth in Exhibit
R
hereto). Pursuant to Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item
1122
of Regulation AB, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee via electronic
mail
(XXXXX.Xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xx.xxx), the Certificate Insurer and the Depositor prior
to
(x) March 15, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall
have been filed, prior to March 15th of each year thereafter, a report regarding
the Servicer’s assessment of compliance (an “Assessment of Compliance”) with the
Servicing Criteria during the preceding calendar year. The Assessment of
Compliance must be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, and as set forth
in
Regulation AB, the Assessment of Compliance must contain the
following:
a. A
statement by such officer of its responsibility for assessing compliance
with
the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;
b. A
statement by such officer that such officer used the Servicing Criteria,
and
which will also be attached to the Assessment of Compliance, to assess
compliance with the Servicing Criteria applicable to the Servicer;
c. An
assessment by such officer of the Servicer’s compliance with the applicable
Servicing Criteria for the period consisting of the preceding calendar year,
including disclosure of any material instance of noncompliance with respect
thereto during such period, which assessment shall be based on the activities
it
performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a
whole
involving the Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage
Loans;
d. A
statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation
report on the Servicer’s Assessment of Compliance for the period consisting of
the preceding calendar year; and
e. A
statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable
to
the Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it performs
with
respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole involving
the
Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the Mortgage
Loans.
Such
report at a minimum shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified
on
Exhibit R hereto which are indicated as applicable to the Servicer.
Prior
to
(x) March 15, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form 15 Suspension Notice shall
have been filed, prior to March 15th of each year thereafter, the Servicer
shall
furnish to the Trustee and the Depositor a report (an “Attestation Report”) by a
registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the
Assessment of Compliance made by the Servicer, as required by Rules 13a-18
and
15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB, which Attestation
Report must be made in accordance with standards for attestation reports
issued
or adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
The
Servicer shall cause and any sub-servicer, and each subcontractor determined
by
the Servicer to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning
of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor
an
Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided
above.
Such
Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall at a minimum address
each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit R hereto which are indicated
as applicable to any “primary servicer.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to
any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered
unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust
Fund.
If
the
Servicer cannot deliver any Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report
by
March 15th of such year, the Depositor, at its sole option, may permit a
cure
period for the Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or Attestation
Report, but in no event later than March 25th of such year.
Failure
of the Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.21 may be deemed
a
Servicer Event of Termination.
The
Trustee shall, with the consent of the Depositor, in addition to whatever
rights
the Trustee may have under this Agreement and at law or equity or to damages,
including injunctive relief and specific performance, give notice to
Certificateholders that they have ten Business Days to object. If no such
objection is received and so long as no Certificate Insurer Default is
continuing, if the Certificate Insurer consents in writing, the Trustee shall
immediately terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under
this
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without
compensating the Servicer for the same. This paragraph shall supersede any
other
provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
The
Trustee shall, prior to (x) March 15, 2007 and (y) unless and until a Form
15
Suspension Notice shall have been filed, prior to March 15th of each year
thereafter, shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each
of the
Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit R hereto which are indicated as
applicable to the “trustee.”
The
Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its officers,
directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs,
judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain based
upon a
breach of the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.21.

(vi) As

each item of information required to be included in any Form 10-D, Form 8-K
or

the applicable report is subject to receipt from the entity that is indicated
in
Exhibit S as the responsible party for providing that information, if other

the Trustee or the Depositor, as applicable, as and when required as described
above. Each of the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor, as applicable,
hereby agree to notify and provide to the Trustee and the Depositor all
information that is required to be included in any Form 10-D, Form 8-K or
Form
10-K, with respect to which that entity is indicated in Exhibit S as the
responsible party for providing that information. In the case of information

the
Trustee including, without limitation, in the certification provided by the

contained in any information provided by the Trustee including, without

(x) Upon
any

a copy of any executed report, statement or information.
(xi) To
the
extent that, following the Closing Date, the Depositor certifies that reports
and certifications differing from those required under this Section 3.22
are
necessary to comply with the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act,
the
parties hereto hereby agree that each will reasonably cooperate to amend
the
provisions of this Section 3.22 in order to comply with such amended reporting

that
adversely affects its obligations and immunities under this
Agreement.

Section
3.24. Access
to Certain Documentation.
The
Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and
any
other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may
exercise authority over any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, access
to
the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws
and
regulations. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon
reasonable request and reasonable advance notice and during normal business
hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. In addition, access
to
the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans will be provided to any
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee
and
any Person identified to the Servicer as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, upon reasonable request and reasonable advance notice during
normal
business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it at the expense
of
the Person requesting such access.
Section
3.25. Title,
Maintenance and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) The
deed
or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of
the
Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and
the Certificate Insurer. If the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property
as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on
a
Mortgage Loan, the REO Property shall only be held temporarily, shall be
actively marketed for sale, and the Servicer shall dispose of the Mortgaged
Property as soon as practicable, and in any case before the end of the third
calendar year following the calendar year in which the Trust Fund acquires
the
property. 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
the
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 to the
imposition of any federal, state, or local income taxes on the proceeds received
from the Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise,
unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund
with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
The
decision of the Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan shall
be
subject to a determination by the Servicer that the proceeds of the foreclosure
would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing a foreclosure proceeding.
The
proceeds received from the maintenance of any REO Properties, net of
reimbursement to the Servicer for costs incurred (including any property
or
other taxes) in connection with maintenance of the REO Properties and net
of
unreimbursed 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 the Mortgage Loans were still current
and adjustments, if applicable, to the Mortgage Rate were being made in
accordance with the Mortgage Note) and all such proceeds 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
Distribution Account.
(b) The
Servicer shall separately account for any funds collected in connection with
any
REO Property and shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established
and
maintained, with respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer
(the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The Servicer shall be
permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the REO Account, subject
to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer shall be entitled
to
retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO
Account.
(c) The
Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing account
in
which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans
in
connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis,
and in
no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and
shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than two Business
Days after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, any amounts collected in respect of
an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper
maintenance and preservation of such REO Property including, without
limitation:
(i) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(ii) all
real
estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result
in
the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all
costs
and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
To
the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance
from
its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only
if, the
Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property
and if
in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from
the proceeds of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, following the date of acquisition by the Trust Fund, neither
the
Servicer nor the Trustee shall knowingly:
(i) authorize
the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect
to any
REO Property;
(ii) authorize
any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts
that
will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize
any construction on any REO Property; or
(iv) authorize
any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90
days
after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund.
(d) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Servicer
may
from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property:
(i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of
the
related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO
Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer Remittance Date, the
Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and deposit
into
the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii), for
distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01,
any proceeds from the related REO Property received during the prior calendar
month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section
3.23(d).
(e) [Reserved].
(f) The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be
remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any
payment
or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall
be
deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii)
on
the Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the receipt thereof for
distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01.
Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC
Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration).
(g) The
Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage
interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and
abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income
with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J
and
6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance
sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H,
6050J and 6050P of the Code.
Section
3.26. Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
Not
later
than 3:00 p.m. New York time on each Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer
shall remit from its own funds to the Distribution Account an amount
(“Compensating Interest”) equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date and (B)
one-half of its aggregate Servicing Fee received in the related Remittance
Period. The Servicer shall not have the right to reimbursement for any amounts
remitted to the Trustee in respect of Compensating Interest. Such amounts
so
remitted shall be included in the Available Funds and distributed therewith
on
the next Distribution Date. The Servicer shall not be obligated to pay any
compensating amounts with respect to Relief Act Interest
Shortfalls.
Section
3.27. [Reserved].
Section
3.28. Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Rates and Monthly
Payments.
In
the
event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to
the
Mortgage Loans in the aggregate results from or is attributable to adjustments
to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were
made
by the Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt
of
notice thereof, immediately shall deposit in the Collection Account from
its own
funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless
the
Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and any
successor Servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall
survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Section 3.26 shall not limit the ability of the Servicer
to seek
recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of
the
related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law.
Section
3.29. Excess
Reserve Fund Account.
(a) No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain with itself
a
separate, segregated trust account titled, “Excess Reserve Fund Account,
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for registered
Holders of IndyMac Residential Mortgage-Backed Trust Certificates, Series
2006-L2.” The Excess Reserve Fund Account shall be an Eligible Account. On the
Closing Date, the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into
the
Excess Reserve Fund Account, the Initial Deposit.
On
each
Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount that
will
remain unpaid to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Subordinated
Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Class C Certificateholders
to, and therefore will, deposit into the Excess Reserve Fund Account the
amounts
described in Section 4.01(d)(vii), rather than distributing such amounts
to the
Class C Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates
and the Subordinated Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the
Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Subordinated Certificates in
the
amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(e). If no unpaid Net WAC
Rate
Carryover Amounts are payable from the Excess Reserve Fund Account on a
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Excess Reserve Fund
Account on behalf of the Class C Certificateholders, from amounts otherwise
distributable to the Class C Certificateholders, an amount such that when
added
to other amounts already on deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account, the
aggregate amount on deposit therein is equal to $5,000.
It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Excess Reserve Fund Account be disregarded
as
an entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates unless and
until
the date when either (a) there is more than one Class C Certificateholder
or (b)
any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class C Certificates is
recharacterized as an equity interest in the Excess Reserve Fund Account
for
federal income tax purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties
hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax
purposes, the Excess Reserve Fund Account be treated as a partnership. All
amounts deposited into the Excess Reserve Fund Account (other than the Initial
Deposit therein) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 2 to the
Holders of the Class C Certificates. The Excess Reserve Fund Account will
be an
“outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section
1.860G-2(h). Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full
of
the Class A Certificates and the Subordinated Certificates, all amounts
remaining on deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account will be released
by the
Trust Fund and distributed to the Class C Certificateholders or their designees.
The Excess Reserve Fund Account will be part of the Trust Fund but not part
of
any REMIC, and any payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or
the
Subordinated Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts from the Excess
Reserve Fund Account will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest”
in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
By
accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder hereby agrees
to
direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is directed, to deposit into the
Excess Reserve Fund Account the amounts described above on each Distribution
Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount that will remain
unpaid to the Holders of the Class A Certificates or the Subordinated
Certificates, rather than distributing such amounts to the Class C
Certificateholders. By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged
by
such acceptance.
The
Servicer shall direct any depository institution maintaining the Excess Reserve
Fund Account to invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted
Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless
payable
on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date
on
which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant
to this
Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or
advises
such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are
required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if
the
Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no investment
direction of the Servicer with respect to the Excess Reserve Fund Account
is
received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall invest the funds in Deutsche Bank
Institutional Cash Management Fund No. 541. The Trustee shall not be responsible
for any losses incurred with respect to any investment of funds pursuant
to this
Section 3.27(a), except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor on
such
Permitted Investment. All income realized from investment of funds in the
Excess
Reserve Fund Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class C
Certificates.
For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of
the
Class A Certificates and the Subordinated Certificates to receive payments
from
the Excess Reserve Fund Account in respect of any unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amount shall be assigned a value of $1,000, which value the Trustee shall
identify to any Certificateholder that requests such information by contacting
the Trustee in writing.

shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class

Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution
Date. 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 of the Trustee or such other location specified in the notice
to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
(g) The
rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of the
Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such distributions,
shall be as set forth in this Agreement. In no event shall the Holders of
any
Class of Certificates, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer in any
way be
responsible or liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in
respect of amounts properly previously distributed on the
Certificates.
Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 10.01, whenever the Trustee expects that the
final
distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will be made on the
next
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no later than four days prior to the
related Distribution Date, send, by overnight delivery or by registered mail,
to
each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates and the Certificate
Insurer a notice to the effect that:
(i) the
Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to the Certificates
of
such Class will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation
and
surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein specified,
and
(ii) no
interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the
calendar month preceding such final Distribution Date.
Any
funds
not distributed to any Holder or Holders of any Class of Certificates on
such
final Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders
to
tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust
by
the Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering
Holder
or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant
to
this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within
six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a
second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution
with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee
shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates
but
shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering
Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust
and
of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining
in such trust funds. If within one year after the final notice any such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee
shall
pay to Bear Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc. all such amounts, and Xxxxxx Brothers Inc.
shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject
hereto, and the Trustee upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of
any
responsibility for such funds, and the Certificateholders shall look only
to
Bear Xxxxxxx & Co. Inc. for payment. No interest shall accrue or be payable
to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trustee as a
result
of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final
payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h). Any such amounts
held
in trust by the Trustee shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall be
held
uninvested.

Section
4.03. Remittance
Reports; Advances.
(a) By
each
Determination Date, the Servicer shall provide to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer in electronic form the information needed to determine
the
distributions to be made pursuant to Section 4.01 and any other information
on
which the Servicer and the Trustee mutually agree. On or before the fifth
Business Day following the end of each Prepayment Period (but in no event
later
than the third Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date), the
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer (which
delivery may be by electronic data transmission) a report in substantially
the
form agreed to by the Servicer and the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be
responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided
to it
by the Servicer.
(b) The
amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any Distribution Date shall
equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of
Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due during the related
Remittance Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments
were
delinquent on a contractual basis as of the Close of Business on the related
Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which REO
Property was acquired during or prior to the related Remittance Period and
as to
which REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the related
Remittance Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the REO Imputed
Interest on such REO Property for the most recently ended calendar month,
over
the net income from such REO Property transferred to the Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 3.23 for distribution on such Distribution
Date.
On
or
before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer
shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trustee for deposit in
the
Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Advances,
if
any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the
related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the
Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution
(in which case it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records
of
Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as
permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the Servicer in discharge of any
such
Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating
the
total amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution used by
the
Servicer to make an Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence shall
be
appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the Servicer
by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer Remittance
Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related Distribution
Date
(determined without regard to Advances to be made on the Servicer Remittance
Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if
such
amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make Advances.
The
Trustee will provide notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the Close of Business
on any Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by
the
Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the Advances required to
be
made by the Servicer for the related Distribution Date, as set forth in the
related Remittance Report.
(c) The
obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below, and, with
respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until a Final Recovery
Determination in connection therewith or the removal thereof from the Trust
Fund
pursuant to any applicable provisions of this Agreement, except as otherwise
provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be
required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such Advance or Servicing
Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination
by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed
Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer
delivered to the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the
Trustee.
Section
4.04. Distributions
on the REMIC Regular Interests.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall cause the Available Funds from the
Distribution Account to make the following disbursements and transfers, in
the
following order of priority, to be distributed by REMIC 1 to REMIC 2 on account
of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests or withdrawn from the Distribution Account
and
distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the
Class
R-1 Interest), as the case may be:
(i) first,
to
the extent of Available Funds, to Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1AA,
REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1A1, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1A2, REMIC 1 Regular
Interest LT1A3, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1M, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1B
and
REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1ZZ, pro
rata,
in an
amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such Distribution
Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous
Distribution Dates. Amounts payable as Uncertificated Accrued Interest in
respect of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1ZZ shall be reduced when the REMIC
1
Overcollateralized Amount is less than the REMIC 1 Target Overcollateralized
Amount, by the lesser of (x) the amount of such difference and (y) the Maximum
LT1ZZ Uncertificated Accrued Interest Deferral Amount and such amount will
be
payable to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1AA, REMIC 1 Regular
Interest LT1A1, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1A2, REMIC 1 Regular Interest
LT1A3,
REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1M and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1B, in the same
proportion as the Overcollateralization Deficiency Amount is allocated to
the
Corresponding Certificates and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the
REMIC
1 Regular Interest LT1ZZ shall be increased by such amount; and
(ii) second,
to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder
of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date after the distributions
made
pursuant to clause (i) above, allocated as follows:
(a) 98.00%
of
such remainder to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1AA, until the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of such Uncertificated REMIC 1 Regular Interest
is reduced to zero;
(b) 2.00%
of
such remainder, first, to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1A1,
REMIC 1
Regular Interest LT1A2, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1A3, REMIC 1 Regular Interest
LT1M and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1B, 1.00% of such remainder, in the same
proportion as principal payments are allocated to the Corresponding
Certificates, until the Uncertificated Principal Balances of such REMIC 1
Regular Interests are reduced to zero; and second, to the Holders of REMIC
1
Regular Interest LT1ZZ, 1.00% of such remainder, until the Uncertificated
Principal Balance of such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is reduced to zero;
then
(c) any
remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of
the
Class R-1 Interest).
provided,
however, that (i) 98.00% and (ii) 2.00% of any principal payments that are
attributable to an Excess Overcollateralization Amount shall be allocated
to
Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1AA and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LTZZ,
respectively.
If
the
Trustee becomes aware that interest and principal collections that it receives
in respect of the Mortgage Loans are not flowing from (a) REMIC 1 to REMIC
2 and
(b) from REMIC 2 to each Class of Certificates, then the Trustee shall notify
the Servicer and cooperate in consulting with the Servicer’s tax counsel. The
advice or any opinion of said counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection to the Trustee in respect of any action taken or omitted by
it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion of
counsel. All parties hereby agree to resolve such issues within 30 days of
notice thereof. Furthermore, to the extent any provisions of this document
are
inconsistent with (a) above, such provisions will be amended in accordance
with
Section 11.01 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Trustee shall incur no liability for any payments made in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
the distributions described in this Section 4.04, distribution of funds shall
be
made so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each of REMIC 1 Regular
Interest LT1A1, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1A2, REMIC 1 Regular Interest
LT1A3,
REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1M and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1B remains equal
to
1% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the related Corresponding Certificate
and for REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1ZZ to equal the sum of (i) 1% of the
Mortgage Pool and (ii) 1% of the Overcollateralized Amount for such Distribution
Date.
Section
4.05. Allocation
of Realized Losses.
For
each
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall calculate the amount of Realized Losses
on
the Mortgage Loans that occurred during the preceding Prepayment Period,
and
shall include such calculation in its Remittance Report.
If
on any
Distribution Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class
A
Certificates and the Subordinated Certificates, determined after all
distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 have been made, exceed the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of all of the Mortgage Loans as of such Distribution
Date after all distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 have been made, such
excess shall be allocated by the Trustee as follows: first, to the Class
B
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; and second, to the Class M Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. All Realized Losses to
be so
allocated to the Certificate Principal Balance of any such Class on any
Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to
be
made on such date as provided herein. No allocations of any Realized Losses
shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates.
All references in Section 4.01 to the Certificate Principal Balance of any
Class
of Certificates, unless otherwise stated, shall be to the Certificate Principal
Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant Distribution Date,
before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses as provided in this Section
4.05, in each case to be allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such
Distribution Date.
Any
allocation of Realized Losses to a Subordinated Certificate on any Distribution
Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
by the
amount so allocated.
All
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on
each
Distribution Date, in the specified percentages, as follows: first, to
Uncertificated Accrued Interest payable to the REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1AA
and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the
REMIC
1 Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; second, to the
Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1AA and REMIC
1
Regular Interest LT1ZZ up to an aggregate amount equal to the REMIC 1 Principal
Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively; third, to the Uncertificated
Principal Balances of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interest
LT1B and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until
the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1B has been
reduced to zero; and fourth, to the Uncertificated Principal Balances of
REMIC 1
Regular Interest LT1AA, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1M and REMIC 1 Regular
Interest LT1ZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1M has been reduced to zero.
All
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trustee on
each
Distribution Date among the REMIC 1 Regular Interests in the same manner
and
priority as such amounts are allocated with respect to the Corresponding
Certificates.
Section
4.06. The
Policy.
(a) If
the
Trustee determines that a Deficiency Amount to be covered by the Policy will
exist for the related Distribution Date, the Trustee shall complete the notice
in the form of Exhibit A to the Policy (the “Notice”) and submit such Notice in
accordance with the Policy to the Certificate Insurer no later than 12:00
P.M.,
New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding such
Distribution Date, as a claim for the amount of such Insured
Amount.
(b) The
Trustee shall establish and maintain the Insurance Account on behalf of the
Holders of the Insured Certificates over which the Trustee shall have the
exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. Upon receipt of an Insured
Amount from the Certificate Insurer on behalf of the Holders of the Insured
Certificates, the Trustee shall deposit such Insured Amount in the Insurance
Account and distribute such amount only for purposes of payment to the Insured
Certificates of the Insured Amount for which a claim was made and such amount
may not be applied to satisfy any costs, expenses or liabilities of the
Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Trust Fund or to
pay any
other Class of Certificates. Amounts paid under the Policy, to the extent
needed
to pay the Insured Amount, shall be transferred to the Distribution Account
on
the related Distribution Date and disbursed by the Trustee to the holders
of the
Insured Certificates in accordance with Section 4.01. It shall not be necessary
for such payments to be made by checks or wire transfers separate from the
checks or wire transfers used to pay other distributions to the holders of
the
Insured Certificates with other funds available to make such payment. However,
the amount of any payment of principal or of interest on the Insured
Certificates to be paid from funds transferred from the Insurance Account
shall
be noted as provided in paragraph (d) below and in the statement to be furnished
to holders of the Insured Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02. Funds held
in
the Insurance Account shall not be invested. Any funds remaining in the
Insurance Account on the first Business Day following the later of (i) the
related Distribution Date or (ii) the date received by the Trustee, shall
be
returned to the Certificate Insurer pursuant to the written instructions
of the
Certificate Insurer by the end of such Business Day.
(c) The
Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of the amount of interest
and
principal paid in respect of any Insured Certificate from moneys received
under
the Policy. The Certificate Insurer shall have the right to inspect such
records
at reasonable times during normal business hours upon one Business Day’s prior
notice to the Trustee.
(d) In
the
event that the Trustee has received a certified copy of an order of the
appropriate court that any Insured Amount has been voided in whole or in
part as
a preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Trustee shall so
notify the Certificate Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the Policy
to obtain payment by the Certificate Insurer of such Preference Amount in
the
amount of such voided Insured Amount, and shall, at the time it provides
notice
to the Certificate Insurer, notify, by mail the holders of the affected Insured
Certificates that, in the event any holder’s Insured Amount is so recovered,
such holder of an Insured Certificate will be entitled to payment pursuant
to
the Policy, a copy of which shall be made available through the Trustee or
the
Certificate Insurer, and the Trustee shall furnish to the Certificate Insurer,
its records evidencing the payments which have been made by the Trustee and
subsequently recovered from the holders of the Insured Certificates, and
dates
on which such payments were made.
(e) The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer of any proceeding or
the
institution of any action, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
has
actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law (a “Preference
Claim”)
of any
distribution made with respect to the Insured Certificates. Each holder of
an
Insured Certificate, by its purchase of such Insured Certificate, the Servicer,
the Depositor and the Trustee agree that the Certificate Insurer (so long
as no
Certificate Insurer Default exists) may at any time during the continuation
of
any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating
to
such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of
any
appeal of any order relating to such Preference Claim and (ii) the posting
of
any surety or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without
limitation of the foregoing, the Certificate Insurer shall be subrogated
to, and
each holder of an Insured Certificate and the Trustee hereby delegates and
assigns to the Certificate Insurer, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the
rights of the Trustee and each holder of an Insured Certificate in the conduct
of any such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of
any
party to any adversary proceeding or action with respect to any court order
issued in connection with any such Preference Claim.
(f) The
Trustee shall, upon retirement of the Insured Certificates, furnish to the
Certificate Insurer a notice of such retirement, and, upon retirement of
the
Insured Certificates and the expiration of the term of the Policy, surrender
the
Policy to the Certificate Insurer for cancellation.
(g) The
Trustee will hold the Policy in trust as agent for the holders of the Insured
Certificates for the purpose of making claims thereon and distributing the
proceeds thereof. Neither the Policy nor the amounts paid on the Policy will
constitute part of the Trust Fund created by this Agreement. Each Holder
of the
Insured Certificates, by accepting its Insured Certificates, appoints the
Trustee as attorney in fact for the purpose of making claims on the
Policy.
(h) Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with respect to principal
of
or interest on the Insured Certificates which is made with moneys received
pursuant to the terms of the Policy shall not be considered payment of the
Insured Certificates from the Trust Fund. The Depositor, the Servicer and
the
Trustee acknowledge, and each holder by its acceptance of an Insured Certificate
agrees, that without the need for any further action on the part of the
Certificate Insurer, the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee (a) to the
extent the Certificate Insurer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on
account of principal of or interest on the Insured Certificates to the holders
of such Insured Certificates, the Certificate Insurer will be fully subrogated
to, and each holder of an Insured Certificate, the Servicer and the Trustee
hereby delegate and assign to the Certificate Insurer, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the rights of such holders to receive such principal and
interest from the Trust Fund, including, without limitation, any amounts
due to
the holders of the Insured Certificates in respect of securities law violations
arising from the offer and sale of the Insured Certificates, and (b) the
Certificate Insurer shall be paid such amounts from the sources and in the
manner provided herein for the payment of such amounts and as provided in
this
Agreement. The Trustee and the Servicer shall cooperate in all respects with
any
reasonable request by the Certificate Insurer for action to preserve or enforce
the Certificate Insurer’s rights or interests under this Agreement without
limiting the rights or affecting the interests of the holders as otherwise
set
forth herein.
(i) By
accepting its Insured Certificate, each holder of an Insured Certificate
agrees
that, unless a Certificate Insurer Default exists, the Certificate Insurer
shall
be deemed to be the holder of the Insured Certificate for all purposes (other
than with respect to the receipt of payment on the Insured Certificates)
and
shall have the right to exercise all rights (including, without limitation,
voting rights) of the holders of the Insured Certificates under this Agreement
and under the Insured Certificates without any further consent of the holders
of
the Insured Certificates. All notices, statement reports, certificates or
opinions required by this Agreement to be sent to any holders of Insured
Certificates shall also be sent to the Certificate Insurer.

bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the
time
when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee
shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them
have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate.
No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid
for any purpose, unless such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated
by the Trustee substantially in the form provided for herein, and such
authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the
only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Subject to Section 5.02(c), the Class A Certificates and the Subordinated
Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates. The other Classes of Certificates
shall not be Book-Entry Certificates.
Section
5.02. Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The
Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office
a
Certificate Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as
it may
prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
The Trustee shall initially serve as Certificate Registrar for the purpose
of
registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein
provided.
Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the Trustee’s
offices located at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000,
Attention: Transfer Department, at the offices of the Trustee’s agent located at
DB Services Tennessee, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000-0000
or at such other office designated by the Trustee for such purposes and,
in the
case of a Class R Certificate, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth
below, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more
new Certificates of the same aggregate Percentage Interest.
At
the
option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates in authorized denominations and the same aggregate Percentage
Interests, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such
office
or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute on behalf of the Trust and
authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the
exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for
registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee
or the
Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
In addition, with respect to each Class R Certificate, the holder thereof
may
exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for two
separate certificates, each representing such holder’s respective Percentage
Interest in the Class R-1 Interest and the Class R-2 Interest, respectively,
in
each case that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being
exchanged.
(b) Except
as
provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all
times
remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all
times:
(i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee
except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry
records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership
and
transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration
of
such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable
rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its
usual
and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants;
(v)
the Trustee shall for all purposes deal with the Depository as representative
of
the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes of exercising the
rights
of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes
of
such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made
with
respect to different Certificate Owners; (vi) the Trustee may conclusively
rely
and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the
Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the
Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and
Persons
shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect
Certificate Owners; and (vii) the direct participants of the Depository shall
have no rights under this Agreement under or with respect to any of the
Certificates held on their behalf by the Depository, and the Depository may
be
treated by the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers and directors
as the
absolute owner of the Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.
All
transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made
in
accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or
brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant
shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance
with
the Depository’s normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to
execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such other
action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate
to
the Depository. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such
Letter of Representation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement
shall
control.
(c) If
(i)(x)
the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable
to
locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event
of
Termination, the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates representing
Percentage Interests of such Classes aggregating not less than 51% advise
the
Trustee and Depository through the applicable financial intermediaries and
the
Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry
system
through the Depository to the exclusion of definitive, fully registered
certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners is no longer
in the best interests of the Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the
Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration,
the Trustee shall, at the Servicer’s expense, execute on behalf of the Trust and
authenticate the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Depositor nor the Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such
instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates, the Trustee,
the
Certificate Registrar, the Servicer, any Paying Agent and the Depositor shall
recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.
(d) No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Private Certificate or
any
Ownership Interest therein shall be made unless such disposition is exempt
from
the registration requirements of the 1933 Act, and any applicable state
securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and such state
securities laws.
In
the
event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest in any Private Certificate
that is a Definitive Certificate, except with respect to the initial transfer
of
any Private Certificate by the Depositor (i) unless such transfer is made
in
reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act (as evidenced by the investment
letter delivered to the Trustee, in substantially the form of the Form of
Rule
144A Investment Letter included as part of Exhibit J hereto), the Trustee
and
the Depositor shall require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house
counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the
Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from
the
1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor or (ii) the Trustee
shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) and the transferee to
execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit J) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to
the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee
the
facts surrounding such transfer, which transferor certificate and investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor. The Holder
of
such Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that
may
result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with
such
federal and state laws.
In
the
event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest in any Private Certificate
that is a Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect to the initial transfer
of
any such Certificate by the Depositor, such transfer shall be required to
be
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, and the transferor will
be
deemed to have made each of the representations and warranties set forth
on
Exhibit L hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by such
Private Certificate and the transferee will be deemed to have made each of
the
representations and warranties set forth in the Form of Rule 144A Investment
Letter included as part of Exhibit J hereto in respect of such interest as
if it
was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate. The Certificate Owner of any such
Ownership Interest in any such Private Certificate desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the
Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so
exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No
transfer of any Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any
Plan
subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly
or
indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates
with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor
regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 (“Plan Assets”), as certified
by such transferee in the form of Exhibit I, unless the Trustee is provided
with
an Opinion of Counsel on which the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer and the Servicer may rely, which is satisfactory to the Trustee,
that
the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will
not
constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section
4975
of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee,
the
Certificate Insurer or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including
obligations or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition
to those undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not
be an
expense of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer
or
the Trust Fund. Neither a certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be
required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate
by the
Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor
or any
affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented that such affiliate
is
not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall be entitled
to conclusively rely upon a written representation from the Depositor of
the
status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.
In
the
event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest in any Book-Entry
Certificate, except with respect to the initial transfer of any such Certificate
by the Depositor, the transferee will be deemed to have made each of the
representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit I hereto.
If
any
Certificate subject to the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph
or
any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of
the
preceding paragraph, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be
treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate retroactive to the date
of
transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner
whose
acquisition or holding of any such Certificate or interest therein was effected
in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify
and
hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Fund
from
and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by
those
parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.
Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably
appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate
the
terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all
instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection
with
any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest
in
a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of
any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No
Person
shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate unless such
Ownership Interest is a pro
rata
undivided interest.
(iii) In
connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class
R
Certificate, the Trustee shall as a condition to registration of the transfer,
require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of each
of the
following:
(x) an
affidavit in the form of Exhibit M hereto from the proposed transferee to
the
effect that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not
acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject
of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who
is
not a Permitted Transferee; and
(y) a
covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed transferee
agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions applicable
to
the Class R Certificates.
(iv) Any
attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely
null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any
purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section,
become a Holder of a Class R Certificate, then the prior Holder of such Class
R
Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that the
registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate was not in fact permitted
by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive
to the
date of registration of transfer of such Class R Certificate. The Trustee
shall
be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of a
Class
R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section or for making
any
distributions due on such Class R Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking
any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement so long as the Trustee received the documents specified in clause
(iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Class
R
Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such
distributions were made all distributions made on such Class R Certificate.
Any
such distributions so recovered by the Trustee shall be distributed and
delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such Class R Certificate
that is
a Permitted Transferee.
(v) If
any
Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest
in a
Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then
the
Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation, without notice to the
Holder of such Class R Certificate or any other Person having an Ownership
Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of such
Class
R Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which may include
commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection with
such
sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to
the
previous Holder of such Class R Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee,
except that in the event that the Trustee determines that the Holder of such
Class R Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section or
any
other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a corresponding
amount from such remittance as security for such claim.
(vi) If
any
Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest
in a
Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then
the
Trustee upon receipt of reasonable compensation will provide to the Internal
Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and
(6) of
the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(5)
of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified
organizations.
The
foregoing provisions of this Section which are applicable solely to the Class
R
Certificates shall cease to apply to transfers occurring on or after the
date on
which there shall have been delivered to the Trustee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, (i) written notification from each Rating Agency
that the removal of the restrictions on Transfer which are applicable solely
to
the Class R Certificates set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating
Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(e) No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. All Certificates
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled by
the
Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard
procedures.
Section
5.03. Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If
(i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or
the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee,
the
Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may
be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of
the
Trust, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under
this Section, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may
be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) in connection therewith.
Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section, shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally
issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be
found
at any time.
Section
5.04. Persons
Deemed Owners.
The
Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying
Agent and any agent of the Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar or any Paying Agent may treat the Person, including the Depository,
in
whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate
for
the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee
nor
any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
Section
5.05. Appointment
of Paying Agent.
(a) The
Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01 and shall report the amounts
of
such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent may include
the obligation to distribute statements and provide information to
Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall
at
all times be an entity duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of
the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such
laws to
exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination
by
federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee.
The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor.
(b) The
Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) to execute
and
deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree
with
the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all sums, if any, held by it
for
payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer entitled thereto until such
sums
shall be paid to such Certificateholders and shall agree that it shall comply
with all requirements of the Code regarding the withholding of payments in
respect of Federal income taxes due from Certificate Owners and otherwise
comply
with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it.

of the Servicer and the Depositor.
The
Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Servicer herein.
The
Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor
herein.
Section
6.02. Merger
or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, the Servicer or
the
Depositor.
Any
entity into which the Servicer or Depositor may be merged or consolidated,
or
any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the
Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding
to the
business of the Servicer or the Depositor, shall be the successor of the
Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however,
that
the successor Servicer shall satisfy all the requirements of Section 7.02
with
respect to the qualifications of a successor Servicer.
Section
6.03. Limitation
on Liability of the Servicer and Others.
Neither
the Servicer or the Depositor nor any of the directors or officers or employees
or agents of the Servicer or the Depositor shall be under any liability to
the
Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from
the
taking of any action by the Servicer or the Depositor in good faith pursuant
to
this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this
provision shall not protect the Servicer, the Depositor or any such Person
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties of the
Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, or by reason of its reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties of the Servicer or the Depositor,
as the
case may be, hereunder; provided, further, that this provision shall not
be
construed to entitle the Servicer to indemnity in the event that amounts
advanced by the Servicer to retire any senior lien exceed Liquidation Proceeds
(in excess of related liquidation expenses) realized with respect to the
related
Mortgage Loan. The Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent
of
the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Servicer and the Depositor, and any director or officer or
employee or agent of the Servicer or the Depositor, shall be indemnified
by the
Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in
connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates,
other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage
Loan
or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability
or
expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard
of
obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Seller or the
Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any
legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and
which
in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however,
that any of the Depositor, the Seller or the Servicer may in its discretion
undertake any such legal action that it may deem appropriate in respect of
this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of
the
Trustee and the Certificateholders hereunder or with respect to the Mortgage
Loans including, without limitation, any rights or causes of action arising
out
of the origination of the Mortgage Loans. In such event, unless the
Depositor, the Servicer or the Seller, as applicable, acts without the consent
of the Certificate Insurer (unless the Policy has been canceled upon the
payment
in full of the Insured Certificates or a Certificate Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing), 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 Seller, and the Servicer shall be entitled
to
be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account. The Servicer’s right to
indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall survive any
resignation or termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01
with
respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such
resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to
such
resignation or termination). This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer solely
in its capacity as Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.
Section
6.04. Servicer
Not to Resign.
Subject
to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 7.02, the Servicer shall not
resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon
determination that the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder
are no
longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason
of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries
or
Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer so causing such a conflict
being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer or its subsidiaries
or
Affiliates at the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the
following conditions: (a) the Servicer has proposed a successor Servicer
to the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer in writing and such proposed successor
Servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer;
and (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Trustee prior
to
the appointment of the successor Servicer stating that the proposed appointment
of such successor Servicer as Servicer hereunder will not result in the
reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of any of the Certificates
(without regard to the Policy); provided, however, that no such resignation
by
the Servicer shall become effective until such successor Servicer or the
Trustee, if it becomes successor Servicer, shall have assumed the Servicer’s
responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall have designated
a successor Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02. Any such resignation
shall
not relieve the Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified
in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or
termination of the Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation
of the Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion
of
Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate
Insurer.
Section
6.05. Delegation
of Duties.
In
the
ordinary course of business, the Servicer at any time may delegate any of
its
duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees
to
conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set
forth
in Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its
liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not
constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04. Except as provided
in Section 3.02, no such delegation is permitted that results in the delegate
subservicing any Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee with
60
days prior written notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties to
any
Person other than any of the Servicer’s Affiliates or their respective
successors and assigns.
Section
6.06. Inspection.
The
Servicer, in its capacity as Seller and Servicer, shall afford the Trustee
and
the Certificate Insurer, upon reasonable advance notice, during normal business
hours, access to all records maintained by the Servicer in respect of its
rights
and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer responsible
for
such obligations. Upon request, the Servicer shall furnish to the Trustee
and/or
the Certificate Insurer, as applicable, its most recent publicly available
financial statements and such other information relating to its capacity
to
perform its obligations under this Agreement.

or
voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;
(b) then,
in
each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Event of Termination shall
not
have been remedied within the applicable grace period, or with respect solely
to
clause (i)(A) above, if such Advance is not made by 5:00 P.M., New York time,
on
the Business Day immediately following the Servicer Remittance Date (provided,
that the Trustee shall give the Servicer notice of such failure to advance
by
5:00 P.M. New York time on the Servicer Remittance Date), the Trustee may,
with
the consent of the Certificate Insurer and shall at the direction of the
Certificate Insurer, unless a Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and
is
continuing, in which case such direction shall be at the direction of the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 51%, the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the
Servicer as servicer under this Agreement. Any such notice to the Servicer
shall
also be given to each Rating Agency, the Certificate Insurer, the Depositor
and
the Seller. On or after the receipt by the Servicer (and by the Trustee if
such
notice is given by the Holders) of such written notice, all authority and
power
of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates
or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee
(or if another successor Servicer shall at such time have already been appointed
in accordance with Section 7.02, such successor Servicer) pursuant to and
under
this Section (subject to Section 7.02); and, without limitation, the Trustee
(or
such other successor Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02)
is
hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether
to
complete the transfer and endorsement of each Mortgage Loan and related
documents or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee
(or
such other successor Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02)
in
effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer
hereunder, including, without limitation, the delivery to the Trustee (or
such
other successor Servicer appointed in accordance with Section 7.02) of all
documents, funds, information and records requested by it to enable it to
assume
the Servicer’s functions under this Agreement within ten Business Days
subsequent to such notice, the transfer within one Business Day subsequent
to
such notice to the Trustee (or such other successor Servicer appointed in
accordance with Section 7.02) for the administration by it of all cash amounts
that shall at the time be held by the Servicer and to be deposited by it
in the
Collection Account, the Distribution Account, any REO Account or any Servicing
Account or that have been deposited by the Servicer in such accounts or
thereafter received by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans or
any
REO Property received by the Servicer. All reasonable costs and expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring the
Mortgage Files to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect
such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the
predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee, the
Servicer that immediately preceded the Trustee) upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs and expenses and to the extent not paid by such
Servicer, by the Trust.
Section
7.02. Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On
and
after the time the Servicer (and the Trustee, if notice is sent by the Holders)
receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 6.04 or Section 7.01,
the
Certificate Insurer shall have the right to appoint a successor Servicer
and if
the Certificate Insurer does not exercise such right, the Trustee shall be
the
successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under
this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall
be
subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
placed on the Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of the
Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
contained in Section 2.03(c) and the obligation to deposit amounts in respect
of
losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof arising
on
and after its succession including, without limitation, the Servicer’s
obligations to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however,
that
if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself
to make
advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee shall not
be
obligated to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; provided further, that
any
failure to perform such duties or responsibilities during the period following
the termination of the Servicer reasonably necessary for the Trustee as
successor to the Servicer hereunder to assume the duties and responsibilities
of
the Servicer or caused by the Servicer’s failure to provide information,
documents or funds (or any other items reasonably requested by the Trustee
in
order to succeed to the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities
hereunder) required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by
the
Trustee as successor to the Servicer hereunder and shall not result in any
liability to the Trustee, and the Trustee, in its capacity as successor
Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of information and/or documents
that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts. As compensation therefor,
the
Trustee (or such other successor Servicer as may be appointed as provided
herein) shall be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer would have
been
entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been given.
Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Trustee is unwilling to act as successor
Servicer or (ii) if the Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Trustee
shall
appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage
loan or
home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000
as the
successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part
of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder and such
successor Servicer must be acceptable to the Certificate Insurer; provided,
that
the appointment of any such successor Servicer will not result in the
qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to any of
the
Certificates by the Rating Agencies as evidenced by a letter to such effect
from
each Rating Agency (without regard to the Policy). Pending appointment of
a
successor to the Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by
law
from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.
In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be
entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage Loans in an
amount
equal to the compensation which the Servicer would otherwise have received
pursuant to Section 3.18 (or such other compensation as the Trustee and such
successor shall agree, not to exceed the Servicing Fee). The appointment
of a
successor Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Servicer
which may have arisen under this Agreement prior to its termination as Servicer
to pay any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.14
or to
indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05, nor shall any successor Servicer
be liable for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any
breach by such Servicer of any of its representations or warranties contained
herein or in any related document or agreement. The Trustee and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary
to
effectuate any such succession. All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid
by
the predecessor Servicer (or, if the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee,
the
Servicer that preceded the Trustee) upon presentation of reasonable
documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor Servicer defaults in
its
obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer
or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of
the
Trust Fund). If no Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Certificate Insurer shall have the right to consent to any successor
Servicer which the Trustee may propose to appoint.
(b) Any
successor to the Servicer, including the Trustee, shall during the term of
its
service as servicer continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loans
for
the benefit of Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, and maintain
in
force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in
the
performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond
in
respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer
is so required pursuant to Section 3.14.
Section
7.03. Waiver
of Defaults.
The
Certificate Insurer, or if a Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and
is
continuing, the Majority Certificateholders (excluding any Certificates held
by
the Seller, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof) may, on behalf of all
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, waive any events permitting
removal of the Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article VII; provided,
however, that if a Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Majority Certificateholders (excluding any Certificates held by the Servicer
or any Affiliate thereof) may not waive a default in making a required
distribution on a Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to
exist and any Servicer Event of Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed
to
have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent
thereto
except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of any such waiver shall
be
given by the Trustee to the Rating Agencies.
Section
7.04. Notification
to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon
any
termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer pursuant to Section
6.04 or this Article VII, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof
to the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to each Rating
Agency.
(b) No
later
than the later of (i) 60 days after the occurrence of any event which
constitutes or which, with notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute
a
Servicer Event of Termination and (ii) five days after a Responsible Officer
of
the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee
shall
transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence unless
such
default or Servicer Event of Termination shall have been waived or
cured.
Section
7.05. Survivability
of Servicer Liabilities.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of the Servicer hereunder,
any
liabilities of the Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall
survive such termination.
ARTICLE
VIII
THE
TRUSTEE
Section
8.01. Duties
of Trustee.
The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and after
the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically
set
forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Event of Termination has occurred
(which
has not been cured) of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested
in it
by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise,
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct
of his own affairs.
The
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee
which
are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the
requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee will
not be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents or other instruments. If any such
instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement
in a
material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate
to
have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to
the
Trustee’s satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the
Certificateholders.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act
or its
own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, and after the curing of
all
such Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance
of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement,
no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against
the
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the
Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness
of
the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished
to
the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved
that
the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining or investigating the facts related
thereto;
(iii) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the Majority Certificateholders relating to the time, method
and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
or
exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the
Trustee, under this Agreement; and
(iv) the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer
to
comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and
(ii)
of Section 7.01(a) unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate
Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives
written notice of such failure from the Servicer or the Majority
Certificateholders.
The
Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or
in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers (other than expenses, disbursements
and
advances incurred or made by the Trustee, including the compensation and
the
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course
of
the Trustee’s performance in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement),
if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds
or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to
it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event
require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, except during
such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested
with
the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance
with
the terms of this Agreement.
Section
8.02. Certain
Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the
Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officer’s Certificate, certificate
of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by
the proper party or parties, and the manner of obtaining consents and of
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders
shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may
prescribe;
(ii) the
Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full
and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion
of
Counsel;
(iii) the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction
of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may
be
incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve
the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the
rights
and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of
care
and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under
the
circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs;
(iv) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or
omitted
by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion
or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing of
all
Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall
not be
bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents, unless
requested in writing to do so by the Majority Certificateholder (provided,
however, that no Certificates held by the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor
or
any Affiliate thereof shall be given effect for the purpose of calculating
any
such aggregation of Voting Rights); provided, however, that if the payment
within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security
afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability from such
Certificateholders as a condition to making such investigation. Nothing in
this
clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe
any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Mortgagors;
(vi) the
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any
duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a
custodian;
(vii) the
Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability and makes no
representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the Servicer until
such
time as the Trustee may be required to act as Servicer pursuant to Section
7.02
and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor
Servicer;
(viii) the
right
of the Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable
for
its action or inaction other than its negligence or willful misconduct in
the
performance of such act; and
(ix) the
Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss resulting from the
investment of funds held in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account
at the direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12.
In
order
to comply with its duties under the U.S. Patriot Act, the Trustee shall obtain
and verify certain information and documentation from the other parties hereto,
including, but not limited to, such parties’ name, address and other identifying
information.
In
order
to comply with laws, rules and regulations applicable to banking institutions,
including those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money
laundering, the Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record certain
information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business
relationship with the Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties
agrees to provide to the Trustee upon its request from time to time such
party’s complete name, address, tax identification number and such other
identifying information together with copies of such party’s constituting
documentation, securities disclosure documentation or such other identifying
documentation as may be available for such party.
Section
8.03. Trustee
Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The
recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the authentication
of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the
Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness
of the
same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of
this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the signature and
authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan
or
related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Servicer, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to
the Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn
from
the Collection Account by the Servicer. The Trustee shall at no time have
any
responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity
and
enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and
priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority,
or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to
generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this
Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership
of any Mortgaged Property; the validity of the assignment of any Mortgage
Loan
to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of any
Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan (other
than
if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section
7.02
and in such case only to the extent of the Servicer’s obligations hereunder);
the compliance by the Depositor, the Seller, the Seller or the Servicer with
any
warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any related document
or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to the Trustee’s
receipt of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance therewith or any
breach thereof; any investment of moneys by or at the direction of the Servicer
or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee shall
remain responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its individual
capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Servicer (other than if the
Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02
and in
such case only to the extent of the Servicer’s obligations hereunder), any
Sub-Servicer or any Mortgagor; any action of the Servicer (other than if
the
Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02
and in
such case only to the extent of the Servicer’s obligations hereunder), or any
Sub-Servicer taken in the name of the Trustee; the failure of the Servicer
or
any Sub-Servicer to act or perform any duties required of it as agent of
the
Trustee hereunder; or any action by the Trustee taken at the instruction
of the
Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02 and in such case only to the extent of the Servicer’s
obligations hereunder); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve
the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the Trustee’s duty to review the Mortgage Files
pursuant to Section 2.01. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing
any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time
or to
otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or
lien
granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor
Servicer and in such case only to the extent of the Servicer’s obligations
hereunder).
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 Trustee
and
may transact any banking and trust business with the Seller, the Servicer,
the
Depositor or their Affiliates.
Section
8.05. Trustee
Fee and Expenses.
As
compensation for its activities under this Agreement, on each Distribution
Date
the Trustee may withdraw from the Distribution Account and pay to itself
the
Trustee Fee for that Distribution Date. The Trustee and any director, officer,
employee, or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Servicer against
any loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (i)
resulting from any error in any tax or information return prepared by the
Servicer or (ii) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating
to:
(a) this
Agreement;
(b) the
Certificates; or
(c) the
performance of any of the Trustee’s duties under this Agreement, other than any
loss, liability or expense incurred because 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 under this Agreement.
This
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation
or
removal of the Trustee under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing,
except as otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee,
and
except for any expense, disbursement, or advance arising from the Trustee’s
negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct, the Servicer shall pay or
reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement with respect
to:
(i) the
reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of its counsel not
associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates;
(ii) 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 them to perform services under this
Agreement; and
(iii) 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, Certificate Registrar
or Paying Agent under this Agreement or for any other expenses.
Section
8.06. Eligibility
Requirements for Trustee.
The
Trustee hereunder shall at all times be an entity duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and has a credit rating which would
not cause any Rating Agency to reduce its current rating of the Certificates.
If
such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or
to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority,
then
for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of
such
entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in
its most recent report of condition so published. The principal office of
the
Trustee (other than the initial Trustee) shall be in a state with respect
to
which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee at the time
such
Trustee is appointed Trustee to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable
entity under the laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee shall
cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the
Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified
in
Section 8.07.
Section
8.07. Resignation
or Removal of Trustee.
The
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created
by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Certificate
Insurer and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the
Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument,
in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and one copy to the successor Trustee. If
no
successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and having accepted appointment
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of
a successor Trustee.
If
at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of
Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Depositor or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or
shall
be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor or the Servicer may remove
the
Trustee but only upon consent of the Certificate Insurer if no Certificate
Insurer default has occurred and is continuing. If the Depositor or the Servicer
removes the Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence,
the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument,
in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee
so
removed and one copy to the successor Trustee. The Trustee that is the subject
of such removal shall deliver a copy of such instrument to the
Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and the Servicer. If no successor
Trustee shall have been so appointed and having accepted appointment within
30
days after the giving of such notice of resignation, then the Certificate
Insurer may appoint a successor Trustee.
The
Majority Certificateholders (excluding any Certificates held by the Seller,
the
Servicer or any Affiliate thereof) may at any time remove the Trustee by
written
instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicer, the Depositor, the
Certificate Insurer and the Trustee but only upon consent of the Certificate
Insurer if no Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing;
the
Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor Trustee
in
accordance with this Section. The Trustee that is the subject of such removal
shall deliver a copy of such instrument to the Certificateholders and the
Servicer.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided
in Section 8.08.
Section
8.08. Successor
Trustee.
Any
successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer
and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee
shall become effective, and such successor Trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as
if
originally named as Trustee. The Depositor, the Servicer and the predecessor
Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things
as
may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming
in the
successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No
successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor
Trustee shall not result in a downgrading of any Class of the Certificates
by
either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this Section
8.08, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor
Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates and the Certificate Insurer
at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating
Agency.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as no Certificate Insurer
Default exists, the appointment of any successor Trustee pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement will be subject to the prior written consent
of the
Certificate Insurer.
Section
8.09. Merger
or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any
entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it
may be
consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding
to
the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06
and
8.08, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section
8.10. Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust
or any
Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee
acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act
as
co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee
or
separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person
or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and
the Certificate Insurer, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be
subject
to the written approval of the Servicer. If the Servicer shall not have joined
in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so
to
do, or in the case a Servicer Event of Termination shall have occurred and
be
continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.
No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms
of
eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06, and no notice to
Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 8.08. The Servicer shall be responsible for
the
fees of any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed hereunder.
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee
shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
and
such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such
separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without
the
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of
any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether
as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee
shall
be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
the
Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised
and
performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the
direction of the Trustee;
(ii) no
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the
Servicer and the Trustee, acting jointly, may at any time accept the resignation
of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee except that following the
occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, the Trustee acting alone may
accept the resignation or remove any separate trustee or
co-trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to
have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee
or
co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article
VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the
conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.
Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given
to the
Depositor and the Servicer.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee,
its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by
the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or
successor Trustee.
Section
8.11. Limitation
of Liability.
The
Certificates are executed by the Trustee, not in its individual capacity
but
solely as Trustee of the Trust, in the exercise of the powers and authority
conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of the undertakings and
agreements made on the part of the Trustee in the Certificates is made and
intended not as a personal undertaking or agreement by the Trustee but is
made
and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust.
Section
8.12. Trustee
May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Certificates.
(a) All
rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the Certificates may
be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Certificates or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto,
and
such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name
or in
its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of such Certificates
and
the Certificate Insurer, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any
recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursement and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and
counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Certificateholders in respect
of
which such judgment has been recovered.
(b) The
Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and each
Certificateholder upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, access
to
all records maintained by the Trustee in respect of its duties hereunder
and
access to officers of the Trustee responsible for performing such duties.
Upon
request, the Trustee shall furnish the Depositor, the Servicer and any
requesting Certificateholder with its most recent financial statements. The
Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor
and
such Certificateholder and shall make available to the Seller, the Servicer,
the
Depositor and such Certificateholder for review and copying such books,
documents or records as may be requested with respect to the Trustee’s duties
hereunder. The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Certificateholders
shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure
to act
by the Trustee and are not obligated to supervise the performance of the
Trustee
under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section
8.13. Suits
for Enforcement.
In
case a
Servicer Event of Termination or other default by the Servicer or the Depositor
hereunder shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, shall, at the direction
of
the Majority Certificateholders, or may, proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement by a
suit,
action or proceeding in equity or at law or otherwise, whether for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in
aid
of the execution of any power granted in this Agreement or for the enforcement
of any other legal, equitable or other remedy, as the Trustee, being advised
by
counsel, and subject to the foregoing, shall deem most effectual to protect
and
enforce any of the rights of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders.
Section
8.14. Waiver
of Bond Requirement.
The
Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any
requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof,
may be
located that the Trustee post a bond or other surety with any court, agency
or
body whatsoever.
Section
8.15. Waiver
of Inventory, Accounting and Appraisal Requirement.
The
Trustee shall be relieved of, and each Certificateholder hereby waives, any
requirement of any jurisdiction in which the Trust, or any part thereof,
may be
located that the Trustee file any inventory, accounting or appraisal of the
Trust with any court, agency or body at any time or in any manner
whatsoever.
Section
8.16. Reserved.
Section
8.17. Access
to Records of Trustee.
The
Trustee shall afford the Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Certificate
Insurer and each Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, upon reasonable
notice
during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Trustee
in
respect of its duties under this Agreement and access to officers of the
Trustee
responsible for performing its duties. Upon request, the Trustee shall furnish
the Depositor, the Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and any requesting
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner with its most recent financial
statements. The Trustee shall cooperate fully with the Seller, the Servicer,
the
Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholder or Certificate
Owner for review and copying any books, documents or records requested with
respect to the Trustee’s duties under this Agreement at the expense of the
requesting party. The Seller, the Depositor, the Servicer and the
Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall not have any responsibility
or
liability for any action for failure to act by the Trustee and are not obligated
to supervise the performance of the Trustee under this Agreement or
otherwise.

IX
REMIC
ADMINISTRATION
Section
9.01. REMIC
Administration.
(a) REMIC
elections as set forth in the Preliminary Statement shall be made by the
Trustee
on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the
taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each
REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement. For the purposes
of
the REMIC election in respect of REMIC 1, (i) the REMIC 1 Regular Interests
shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC 1 and the Class R-1
Interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC 1, and (ii)
the
Regular Certificates (exclusive of the right to receive payments from the
Excess
Reserve Fund Account) shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC
2
and the Class R-2 Interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in
REMIC
2. The Trustee shall not permit the creation of any “interests” in any Trust
REMIC (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than the REMIC
1
Regular Interests, the Class R-1 Interest, the Class R-2 Interest, and the
interests represented by the Certificates.
(b) The
Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the
meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The
Trustee shall pay any and all tax related expenses (not including taxes)
of each
REMIC, including but not limited to any professional fees or expenses related
to
audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to each
REMIC
that involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only
to
the extent that (i) such expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including
expenses of a routine audit but not expenses of litigation (except as described
in (ii)); or (ii) such expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties)
are attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee in
fulfilling its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement
of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i) above from the Distribution
Account.
(d) The
Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of the REMICs’ federal and state tax
and information returns as the direct representative of each REMIC created
hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne
by
the Trustee.
(e) The
Holder of the Class R Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage
Interest thereof shall be the “tax matters person” as defined in the REMIC
Provisions (the “Tax Matters Person”) with respect to each REMIC and shall act
as Tax Matters Person for each REMIC. The Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters
Person, shall perform on behalf of each REMIC all reporting and other tax
compliance duties that are the responsibility of such REMIC under the Code,
the
REMIC Provisions, or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue
Service or any state or local taxing authority. Among its other duties, if
required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trustee,
as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or
other
governmental authority such information as is necessary for the application
of
any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any disqualified
person or organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information
or
reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.
(f) The
Trustee, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any action
or
cause the REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain the status
of
each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist each other
as
necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee, the Servicer
nor the Holder of any Class R Certificate shall knowingly take any action,
cause
any REMIC created hereunder to take any action or fail to take (or fail to
cause
to be taken) any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not
taken,
as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of such REMIC as a REMIC
or
(ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon such REMIC (including but not
limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Code Section
860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions set forth on Section 860G(d)
of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Trustee,
the Certificate Insurer and the Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel
(at
the expense of the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the
expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not
endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition,
prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or
the
assets therein, or causing such REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly
permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Class R Certificate
will consult with the Servicer and the Certificate Insurer, or its respective
designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an
Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person
shall
take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which
the
Servicer or the Certificate Insurer has advised it in writing that an Adverse
REMIC Event could occur.
(g) Each
Holder of a Class R Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed
on
each REMIC created hereunder by federal, state or local governmental
authorities. To the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Class
R
Certificateholder, the Trustee shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of
current or future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Class
R
Certificate in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other
amounts held in the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise
payable to Holders of regular interests in the related REMIC. If any tax
is
imposed on “prohibited transactions” (as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the
Code) of any REMIC created hereunder, on the “net income form foreclosure
property” of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860G(c) of the
Code, on any contribution to any REMIC created hereunder after the Startup
Day
pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including
any minimum tax imposed on any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Sections
23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid
as
otherwise provided for herein, the tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee,
if any
such other tax arises out of or results from negligence of the Trustee in
the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Servicer or
the
Seller, in the case of any such minimum tax, if such tax arises out of or
results from a breach by the Servicer or Seller of any of their obligations
under this Agreement, (iii) the Seller, if any such tax arises out of or
results
from the Seller’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
2.03, or (iv) in all other cases, or if the Trustee, the Servicer, or the
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 3.11(b).
(h) The
Trustee, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created
hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(i) No
additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC created hereunder,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to eligible
substitute mortgage loans.
(j) Neither
the Trustee nor the Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any
REMIC
created hereunder will receive a fee or other compensation for
services.
(k) On
or
before April 15th
of each
calendar year beginning in 2007, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee
and
each Rating Agency an Officers’ Certificate stating the Servicer’s compliance
with the provisions of this Section 9.01.
(l) The
Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal
Revenue Service via a Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for all tax entities
and shall complete and timely file the Form 8811.
Section
9.02. Prohibited
Transactions and Activities.
None
of
the Depositor, the Servicer or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute
for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the
foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund, (iii)
the
termination of any REMIC created hereunder pursuant to Article X of this
Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II or Section 3.10 of
this
Agreement or (v) a repurchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of
this
Agreement, or acquire any assets for any REMIC, sell or dispose of any
investments in the Distribution Account, or accept any contributions to either
REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel
(at
the expense of the party causing such sale, disposition, acquisition,
substitution or acceptance) acceptable to the Certificate Insurer that such
sale, disposition, acquisition, substitution or acceptance will not (a) affect
adversely the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC or of the
interests therein other than the Class R Certificates as the regular interests
therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the
Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or
assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement), (d) cause any REMIC created hereunder to be subject to a tax
on
prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions or (e) disqualify the Trust from being a qualifying special purpose
entity under generally accepted accounting principles.
Section
9.03. Indemnification
with respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.
(a) In
the
event that any REMIC created hereunder fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses
its
status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of
a
prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions
due
to the negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations
set
forth herein or due to the location of the Servicer, the Servicer shall
indemnify the Trustee and the Holder of the related Class R Certificate against
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”)
resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not
be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the
Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of such Class R Certificate, as applicable,
or for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder
of
such Class R Certificate on which the Servicer has relied. The foregoing
shall
not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder
of such
Class R Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer have
any
liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with
and in
compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by
the
terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a
negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth
herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders
(in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).
(b) In
the
event that any REMIC created hereunder fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses
its
status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of
a
prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions
due
to the negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations
set
forth herein, the Trustee shall indemnify the Trust Fund against any and
all
Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Trustee
shall
not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction
of the
Servicer, the Depositor or the Holder of such Class R Certificate, as
applicable, or for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided
by the
Holder of such Class R Certificate on which the Trustee has relied. The
foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies
of
the Holder of such Class R Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or
in
equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee
have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance
with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly
permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than
arising
out of a negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations
set
forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to
Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).

Section
10.01. Termination.
(a) The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Depositor
and
the Trustee created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make
certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date
and the
obligation of the Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth)
shall terminate upon notice to the Trustee upon the earliest of (i) the
Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the
Certificates have been reduced to zero and any amounts owed to the Certificate
Insurer have been paid in full, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation
of
the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust and any amounts owed to the Certificate
Insurer have been paid in full and (iii) the optional purchase by the Terminator
of the Mortgage Loans as described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in no
event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the
Latest Possible Maturity Date and (ii) the expiration of 21 years from the
death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date
hereof.
Either
(i) the Servicer, or (ii) if the Servicer fails to exercise such option and
any
portion of the Class A Certificates remain outstanding, the Certificate Insurer
(either the Servicer or the Certificate Insurer, as applicable, the
“Terminator”), shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on any
Distribution Date following the date on which the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as of the last day of the
related Remittance Period is less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans on the Cut-off Date, by purchasing, on or before
such Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
at a price (the “Termination Price”) equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated
Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of a Delinquent
Mortgage Loan or REO Property) as of such date of purchase (assuming for
this
purpose that all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, net of amounts
payable or reimbursable to the Servicer, have been distributed pursuant to
Section 4.01 on or before such date of purchase) plus one month’s accrued
interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate (or if the Terminator is
the
Servicer, at the applicable Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate), (ii)
the
lesser of (x) the appraised value of any Delinquent Mortgage Loan or REO
Property as determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two
independent appraisers selected by the Servicer at the expense of the Servicer
and (y) the Stated Principal Balance of each such Delinquent Mortgage Loan
or
Mortgage Loan related to such REO Property, in each case plus accrued and
unpaid
interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate (or if the Terminator is
the
Servicer, at the applicable Mortgage Rate less the Servicing Fee Rate) and
(iii)
any related Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount (in the case of a termination
exercised by the Servicer) and any outstanding amounts owed to the Certificate
Insurer; provided that the purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Terminator
will
not be permitted unless the total proceeds of such sale will be an amount
sufficient to pay all principal and interest owed on the Class A Certificates
and all amounts owed to the Certificate Insurer. The Optional Termination
may
not be exercised without the consent of the Certificate Insurer if it would
result in a draw on the Policy or if any amount then owed to the Certificate
Insurer would remain unpaid.
In
connection with any such purchase pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the
Servicer shall remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
all
amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (after paying itself or
reimbursing itself for unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances and unpaid
Servicing Fees and withdrawing any other amounts payable to itself that it
is
permitted to withdraw from the Collection Account), which deposit shall be
deemed to have occurred immediately preceding such purchase. Any such purchase
shall be accomplished by deposit of the Termination Price into the Distribution
Account on the Business Day before the date of final distribution pursuant
to
Section 10.01(c).
Upon
the
termination of the Trust Fund, any amounts remaining on deposit in the Excess
Reserve Fund Account shall be released by the Trust Fund and distributed
by the
Trustee to the Class C Certificateholders or their designees. Upon termination
of the Trust Fund, the Trustee will return the original Policy to the
Certificate Insurer.
With
such
repurchase by the Servicer, the Servicer shall acquire any rights or potential
rights of the Certificateholders or the Trustee to causes of action against
any
Person relating to the Mortgage Loans or the origination of the Mortgage
Loans,
including, without limitation, the right to enforce any breach of a
representation or warranty made at any time with respect to the Mortgage
Loans.
(b) Notice
of
any termination, specifying the date upon which the Certificateholders may
surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee upon
the
Trustee receiving notice of such date from the Servicer, by letter to the
Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 15th
day and
not later than the 25th
day of
the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying
(1) the
date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency of
the
Trustee therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final distribution
and
(3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such date of final distribution
is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender
of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein
specified.
(c) Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to
be
distributed to Holders of the Certificates on the date for such final
distribution (which date may be but is not required to be a Distribution
Date),
in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their respective Certificates
and
to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, an amount equal
to the
amount required to be distributed to such Holders in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.01 as if such date was the immediately following
Distribution Date, plus any residual amounts in excess thereof that are
available for such final distribution. By acceptance of the Class R
Certificates, the Holders of the Class R Certificates agree, in connection
with
any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of
the
par value of the Mortgage Loans, and to the extent received in respect of
such
termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class C
Certificates.
(d) In
the
event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates
for
final payment and cancellation on or before such final distribution, the
Trustee
shall take the actions set forth in Section 4.01(h).
Section
10.02. Additional
Termination Requirements.
(a) In
the
event that the Terminator exercises its purchase option as provided in Section
10.01, each REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements, unless the Trustee shall have been furnished with
an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply
with
the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the imposition of
taxes
on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code
or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) Within
90
days prior to the Final Distribution Date, the Servicer shall adopt and the
Trustee shall sign a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC created
hereunder meeting the requirements of a “Qualified Liquidation” under Section
860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder; and
(ii) At
or
after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and at
or
prior to the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets
of the Trust Fund to the Servicer for cash pursuant to the terms of the plan
of
complete liquidation.
(b) By
their
acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to appoint the
Trustee as their attorney in fact to: (i) adopt such a plan of complete
liquidation (and the Certificateholders hereby appoint the Trustee as their
attorney in fact to sign such plan) as appropriate; and (ii) to take such
other
action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to carry out
such
plan of complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms
hereof.

Section
11.01. Amendment.
This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer
and
the Trustee, with the consent of the Certificate Insurer but without the
consent
of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or
supplement any provisions herein which may be defective or inconsistent with
any
other provisions herein, (iii) to make or modify any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall
not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or (iv) to modify, eliminate
or add to any provisions of this Agreement to such extent as shall be necessary
or desirable to maintain the qualification of the Trust Fund as a REMIC at
all
times that any Certificate is outstanding or to avoid or minimize the risk
of
the imposition of any federal income tax on the Trust Fund pursuant to the
Code
that would be a claim against the Trust Fund; provided; that (1) such action
shall not, as evidenced by either (a) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to
the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer or (b) written notice to the Depositor,
the
Servicer and the Trustee from each Rating Agency that such action will not
result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class
of
Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency (without regard
to the
Policy), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder and (2) in the case of an amendment pursuant to clause

or
to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such federal income
tax,
as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee and the
Certificate Insurer.
In
addition, this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the
Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificate Insurer, or
if a
Certificate Insurer Default occurred and is continuing, the Majority
Certificateholders for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing
in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount
of, or
delay the timing of, payments on the Certificates without the consent of
the
Holder of such Certificate, (ii) amend, modify, add to, rescind, or alter
in any
respect Section 11.15, notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement,
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage

Certificates held by the Servicer, the Seller, the Depositor or any Affiliate
thereby shall be given effect for the purpose of calculating any such
aggregation of Percentage Interests), (iii) modify, add to, rescind, alter,
or
amend in any respect any provision of this Agreement restricting the Trust
Fund
from holding any property or engaging in any activity that would disqualify
the
Trust Fund from being a qualifying special purpose entity under generally
accepted accounting principles without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66
2/3%
(provided, however, that no Certificates held by the Servicer, the Seller,
the
Depositor or any Affiliate thereby shall be given effect for the purpose
of
calculating any such aggregation of Percentage Interests), or (iv) 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. Upon approval of an amendment, a copy of such
amendment shall be sent to each Rating Agency.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to
or
enter into any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received

to
the effect that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the
Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee in accordance with such amendment
(i) is
authorized or permitted by the Agreement and (ii) will not result in the
imposition of a tax on any REMIC created hereunder constituting part of the
Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC created hereunder
constituting part of the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that
any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment is being made in
accordance with the terms hereof.

after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee shall furnish a copy
of
such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section
11.01
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner
of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as
the Trustee may prescribe.
The
cost
of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this Section 11.01
shall
be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in no event shall
such
Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee.
The
Trustee may but shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant
to
this Section that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement
or otherwise; provided however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

provision hereof.
No

offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against
the
costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the
Trustee for 15 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action,
suit or
proceeding. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that
no
one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever
by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the
rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or
seek to
obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority
or
preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right
under
this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable

Section

of Agreement.
Except
as
set forth in Section 11.12 and Section 11.16, nothing in this Agreement or
in

the
Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and the parties hereto and their
successors hereunder, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy
or
claim under this Agreement. The Certificate Insurer shall be an express

Section
11.11. Acts
of Certificateholders.
(a) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by the Certificateholders
may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by agent duly
appointed in writing, and such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and the Servicer.
Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “act” of the Certificateholders
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any
purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the
Trust,
if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.11.
(b) The
fact
and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing
may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate
of
a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments
of
deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing
acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by
a
signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority.
(c) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action by any Certificateholder shall bind every future Holder of such
Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the registration
of
transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of
anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Trust
in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such
Certificate.
Section
11.12. Grant
of Security Interest.
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans
by the Depositor to the Trustee, be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans to secure a
debt
or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage Loans
are
held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express intent
of the
parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by
the
Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor
and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement
within
the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
from
time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance provided for in
Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the Depositor to the
Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to the holders
of
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds
of the
conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments,
securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other
than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection
Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments,
securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security
agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s obligations under this
Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders
the
benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund;
and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the
purpose
of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the
Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in the Mortgage
Loans
and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence,
for
the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of
the
obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section
2.01
to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets
constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee.
Section
11.13. Official
Record.
The
Seller agrees that this Agreement is and shall remain at all times before
the
time at which this Agreement terminates an official record of the Seller
as
referred to in Section 13(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.
Section
11.14. Protection
of Assets.
(a) Except
for transactions and activities entered into in connection with the
securitization that is the subject of this agreement, the Trust created by
this
Agreement is not authorized and has no power to:
(1) borrow
money or issue debt;
(2) merge
with another entity, reorganize, liquidate or sell assets;
(3) engage
in
any business or activities.
(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 at least one year and one day after the Certificates
have been paid in full.
Section
11.15. Qualifying
Special Purpose Entity.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trust Fund shall not hold any
property or engage in any activity that would disqualify the Trust Fund from
being a qualifying special purpose entity under generally accepted accounting
principles.
Section
11.16. Rights
of the Certificate Insurer.
(a) The
Certificate Insurer is an express third-party beneficiary of this
Agreement.
(b) The
Trustee or the Depositor, as applicable, shall provide to the Certificate
Insurer copies of any report, notice, Opinion of Counsel, Officers’ Certificate,
request for consent or request for amendment to any document related hereto
promptly upon the Trustee’s or the Depositor’s production or receipt thereof,
but only to the extent that such item is required to be delivered to the
Certificate Insurer hereunder.
(c) Unless
a
Certificate Insurer Default exists, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Depositor
shall not agree to any amendment to this Agreement without first having obtained
the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer.
(d) So
long
as there does not exist a failure by the Certificate Insurer to make a required
payment under the Policy, the Certificate Insurer shall have the right to
exercise all rights of the Holders of the Insured Certificates under this
Agreement including but not limited to the exercise of all voting rights
in
respect of the Holders of the Insured Certificates without any consent of
such
Holders, and such Holders may exercise such rights only with the prior written
consent of the Certificate Insurer, except as provided herein.
(e) The
Certificate Insurer shall not be entitled to exercise any of its rights
hereunder so long as there exists a failure by the Certificate Insurer to
make a
required payment under the Policy.

Trustee
on the later of (i) the second Business Day following receipt in New York,
New
York on a Business Day by Financial Guaranty of a Notice from the Trustee
that a
Deficiency Amount is due in respect of the Class A Certificates, and (ii)
the
Distribution Date on which the related Deficiency Amount is distributable
to the
Holders of the Class A Certificates pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, for disbursement to the Holders of the Class A Certificates in
the
same manner as other distributions with respect to the Class A Certificates
are
required to be made. Any Notice received by Financial Guaranty after 12:00
noon
New York City time on a given Business Day or on any day that is not a Business
Day shall be deemed to have been received by Financial Guaranty on the next
succeeding Business Day.
If
any
portion or all of any amount that is insured hereunder that was previously
distributed to a Holder of a Class A Certificate is recoverable and sought
to be
recovered from such Holder as a voidable preference by a trustee in bankruptcy
pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, pursuant to a final non-appealable
order
of a court exercising proper jurisdiction in an insolvency proceeding (a
“Final
Order”) (such recovered amount, a “Preference Amount”), Financial Guaranty will
pay on the guarantee described in the first paragraph hereof, an amount equal
to
each such Preference Amount by 12:00 noon on the second Business Day following
receipt by Financial Guaranty on a Business Day of (w) a certified copy of
the
Final Order, (x) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Financial Guaranty
that
such order is final and not subject to appeal, (y) an assignment, in form
reasonably satisfactory to Financial Guaranty, irrevocably assigning to
Financial Guaranty all rights and claims of the Trustee and/or such Holder
of
the Class A Certificates relating to or arising under such Preference Amount
and
constituting an appropriate instrument, in form satisfactory to Financial
Guaranty, appointing Financial Guaranty as the agent of the Trustee and/or
such
Holder in respect of such Preference Amount, including without limitation
in any
legal proceeding relating to the Preference Amount, and (z) a Notice
appropriately completed and executed by the Trustee or such Holder, as the
case
may be. Such payment shall be made to the receiver, conservator,
debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order and
not
to the Trustee or Holder of the Class A Certificates directly (unless the
Holder
has previously paid such amount to such receiver, conservator,
debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in such Final Order in
which
case payment shall be made to the Trustee for distribution to the Holder
upon
delivery of proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Financial
Guaranty). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Financial Guaranty
be (i) required to make any payment under this Policy in respect of any
Preference Amount to the extent such Preference Amount is comprised of amounts
previously paid by Financial Guaranty hereunder, or (ii) obligated to make
any
payment in respect of any Preference Amount, which payment represents a payment
of the principal amount of any Class A Certificates, prior to the time Financial
Guaranty otherwise would have been required to make a payment in respect
of such
principal, in which case Financial Guaranty shall pay the balance of the
Preference Amount when such amount otherwise would have been
required.
Any
of
the documents required under clauses (w) through (z) of the preceding paragraph
that are received by Financial Guaranty after 12:00 noon New York City time
on a
given Business Day or on any day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed
to
have been received by Financial Guaranty on the next succeeding Business
Day. If
any notice received by Financial Guaranty is not in proper form or is otherwise
insufficient for the purpose of making a claim under this Policy, it will
be
deemed not to have been received by Financial Guaranty, and Financial Guaranty
will promptly so advise the Trustee, and the Trustee may submit an amended
Notice. All payments made by Financial Guaranty hereunder in respect of
Preference Amounts will be made with Financial Guaranty’s own
funds.
Upon
payment of an Insured Amount hereunder, Financial Guaranty shall be fully
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the Class A Certificates to receive
the amount so paid. Financial Guaranty’s obligations with respect to the Class A
Certificates hereunder with respect to each Distribution Date shall be
discharged to the extent funds consisting of the related Deficiency Amount
are
received by the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Class A Certificates
for
distribution to such Holders, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
and herein, whether or not such funds are properly applied by the
Trustee.
This
Policy is non-cancelable for any reason, including nonpayment of any premium.
The premium on this Policy is not refundable for any reason, including the
payment of any Class A Certificates prior to the Final Distribution Date.
This
Policy shall expire and terminate without any action on the part of Financial
Guaranty or any other Person on the date that is the later of (i) the date
that
is one year and one day following the date on which the Class Certificate
Balance of the Class A Certificates shall have been reduced to zero; and
(ii) if
any insolvency proceeding referenced in the third preceding paragraph with
respect to which the Depositor is the debtor has been commenced on or prior
to
the date specified in clause (i) above, the 30th
day
after the entry of a final, non-appealable order in resolution or settlement
of
such proceeding.
This
Policy will not cover Net Interest Shortfalls or Net WAC Cap Carryforward
Amounts nor does this Policy guarantee to the Holders of the Class A
Certificates any particular rate of principal distribution. In addition,
this
Policy will not cover shortfalls, if any, attributable to the liability of
the
Depositor, the Issuing Entity, the Trustee, any REMIC or any Holders of Class
A
Certificates for withholding taxes or REMIC liabilities, if any (including
interest and penalties in respect of any liability for withholding taxes
or
REMIC liabilities). This Policy also will not cover the failure of the Trustee
to make any distribution required under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
to
the Holder of a Class A Certificate.
To
the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Financial Guaranty hereby waives,
solely for the benefit of Holders of the Class A Certificates all defenses
of
any kind (including, without limitation, the defense of fraud in inducement
or
fact, any defense based on any duty claimed to arise from the doctrine of
“utmost good faith” or any similar or related doctrine or any other
circumstances that would have the effect of discharging a surety, guarantor
or
any other person in law or in equity) that Financial Guaranty otherwise might
have asserted as a defense to its obligation to pay in full any amounts that
have become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this
Policy. Nothing in this paragraph, however, shall be deemed to constitute
a
waiver of any rights, remedies, claims or counterclaims that Financial Guaranty
may have with respect to IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. or any of its
affiliates.
A
monthly
premium shall be due and payable as provided in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and the Insurance Agreement.
This
Policy is subject to and shall be governed by the laws of the State of New
York
without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. The proper
venue for any action or proceeding on this Policy shall be the County of
New
York, State of New York.
THE
INSURANCE PROVIDED BY THIS POLICY IS NOT COVERED BY THE NEW YORK
PROPERTY/CASUALTY INSURANCE SECURITY FUND (NEW YORK INSURANCE CODE, ARTICLE
76).
“Notice”
means a written notice in the form of Exhibit
A
to this
Policy by registered or certified mail or telephonic or telegraphic notice,
subsequently confirmed by written notice delivered via telecopy, telex or
hand
delivery from the Trustee to Financial Guaranty specifying the information
set
forth therein. “Holder” means, as to the Class A Certificates, the person, other
than the Seller, the Issuing Entity, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee,
who, on the applicable Distribution Date, is entitled under the terms of
the
Class A Certificates to a distribution thereon. “Insurance Agreement” means the
Insurance and Indemnity Agreement, among Financial Guaranty, IndyMac Bank,
F.S.B., as Seller and Servicer, IndyMac MBS, Inc., as Depositor and the Trustee,
dated as of June 15, 2006. “Pooling and Servicing Agreement” means the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement relating to the Class A Certificates, among IndyMac
Bank, F.S.B., as Seller and Servicer, IndyMac MBS, Inc., as Depositor and
the
Trustee, dated as of June 1, 2006.
In
the
event that payments under the Class A Certificates are accelerated, nothing
herein contained shall obligate Financial Guaranty to make any distribution
of
principal or interest on the Class A Certificates on an accelerated basis,
unless such acceleration of distribution by Financial Guaranty is at the
sole
option of Financial Guaranty; it being understood that a shortfall in respect
of
the redemption of the Class A Certificates by reason of the repurchase of
the
Trust Fund pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
does
not constitute acceleration for the purposes hereof.

|
(a)
|
The

respect of the Distribution Date:
|
|
(1)
|
The
insured portion of the distribution on the Class A Certificates

of the Distribution Date that is due to be received on ______________

consisting of
|
|
(A)
|
$
___________ in respect of interest on the Class A Certificates,
which is
calculated as the amount by which:
|
|
(i)
|
$____________,
constituting the aggregate amount of Accrued Interest allocable
to the
Class A Certificates for that Distribution Date exceeds the Interest
Remittance Amount for that Distribution Date (less the premium
payable to
Financial Guaranty on such Distribution Date);
exceeds
|
|
(ii)
|
$___________,
representing the Interest Remittance Amount for that Distribution
Date
(less the premium payable to Financial Guaranty on such Distribution
Date); plus
|
(B) $_____________
in respect of principal of the Class A Certificates, which is calculated
as the
amount by which
(i)
the
aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the Class A Certificates after
distribution of Available Funds for such Distribution Date, which totals
$_______, exceeds
(ii)
aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the
related
Remittance Period.
(2) [The
amount to be paid to the Holders of the Class A Certificates on the Final
Distribution Date, which occurs on _____________, is

(3) The
amounts available in the Distribution Account to be distributed on such
Distribution Date on the Class A Certificates pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement for distribution in respect of the items identified in
items
(1) and (2) above, as reduced by any portion thereof that has been deposited
in
the Distribution Account but may not be withdrawn therefrom pursuant to an
order
of a United States bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction imposing a
stay
pursuant to Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code), is
$_______________.
Please
be
advised that, accordingly, a Deficiency Amount exists for the Distribution
Date
identified above for the Class A Certificates in the amount of $__________.
This
Deficiency Amount constitutes an Insured Amount payable by Financial Guaranty
under the Policy.
[In
addition, attached hereto is a copy of the Final Order in connection with
a
Preference Amount in the amount set forth therein, together with an assignment
of rights and appointment of agent and other documents required by the Policy

Section
2.01 Sale
of Mortgage Loans.
The
Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, does
hereby sell, assign, set over, and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without
recourse, (i) all of its right, title and interest in and to each Mortgage
Loan,
including the related Principal Balance as of the Cut-off Date, (ii) all
interest accruing thereon on or after the Cut-off Date and all collections
in
respect of interest and principal due after the Cut-off Date, (iii) its interest
in any insurance policies in respect of the Mortgage Loans and (iv) all proceeds
of any of the foregoing.
Section 2.02 Obligations
of Seller Upon Sale.
In
connection with any transfer pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the Seller
agrees,
at its own expense, on or prior to the Closing Date, (i) to cause its books
and
records to indicate that the Mortgage Loans have been sold to the Purchaser
pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) to deliver to the Purchaser and the Trustee
an electronic data file containing a true and complete list of all such Mortgage
Loans, specifying for each such Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date, those
data fields as required in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Such file,
which
forms a part of Exhibit D to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, shall also
be
marked as Schedule I to this Agreement and is hereby incorporated into and
made
a part of this Agreement.
In
connection with any conveyance by the Seller, the Seller shall on behalf
of the
Purchaser deliver to, and deposit with, the Trustee, as assignee of the
Purchaser, or to the Custodian, on or before the Closing Date, the following
documents or instruments, which documents and instruments will comply with
the
requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary below:
(i) the
original Mortgage Note, endorsed either (A) in blank or (B) in the following
form: “Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee,
without recourse”, or with respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost
Note Affidavit stating that the original Mortgage Note was lost, misplaced
or
destroyed, together with a copy of the related Mortgage Note; provided,
however,
that
such substitutions of Lost Note Affidavits for original Mortgage Notes may
occur
only with respect to Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of
which is less than or equal to 2.00% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off
Date;
(ii) the
original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, and the original recorded
power of attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney,
with evidence of recording thereon or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney
has
been submitted for recording but has not been returned from the applicable
public recording office, has been lost or is not otherwise available, a copy
of
such Mortgage or power of attorney, as the case may be, certified to be a
true
and complete copy of the original submitted for recording;
(iii) an
original Assignment, in form and substance acceptable for recording. The
Mortgage shall be assigned either (A) in blank or (B) to “Deutsche Bank National
Trust Company, as Trustee, without recourse”;
(iv) an
original copy of any intervening Assignment, showing a complete chain of
assignments;
(v) the
original or a certified copy of the lender’s title insurance policy;
and
(vi) the
original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or
substitution agreement, if any.
With
respect to up to 30% of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller may deliver all or
a
portion of each related Mortgage File to the Trustee not later than five
Business Days after the Closing Date (such Mortgage Loans, the “Delayed Delivery
Mortgage Loans”).
The
Seller hereby confirms to the Purchaser and the Trustee that it has made
the
appropriate entries in its general accounting records, to indicate that such
Mortgage Loans have been transferred to the Trustee and constitute part of
the
Trust in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
If
any of
the documents referred to in Section 2.02(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has as
of the
Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (A) has not been returned
from the applicable public recording office or (B) has been lost or such
public
recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations
of
the Seller to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon
(1)
delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian no later than the Closing Date of
a
copy of each such document certified by the Seller in the case of (A) above
or
the applicable public recording office in the case of (B) above to be a true
and
complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if
such
copy is certified by the Seller, delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian,
promptly upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document
certified by the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete
copy of the original. If the original lender’s title insurance policy, or a
certified copy thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(v) above,
the
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian,
the
original or a copy of a written commitment or interim binder or preliminary
report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company, with the
original or a certified copy thereof to be delivered to the Trustee or the
Custodian, promptly upon receipt thereof. The Seller shall deliver or cause
to
be delivered to the Trustee or the Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof
any
other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect
to
any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents
evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage Loan.
Upon
discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or
that
a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Seller shall have 90 days
to
cure such defect or deliver such missing document to the Trustee or the
Custodian. If the Seller does not cure such defect or deliver such missing
document within such time period, the Seller shall either repurchase or
substitute for such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.03 of the
Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.
The
Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and interest
to
the Mortgage Loans and other property, now existing and hereafter created,
conveyed to it pursuant to Section 2.01.
The
Seller shall cause the Assignments which were delivered in blank to be completed
and shall cause all Assignments referred to in Section 2.02(iii) hereof and,
to
the extent necessary, in Section 2.02(iv) hereof to be recorded. The Seller
shall be required to deliver such Assignments for recording within 30 days
of
the Closing Date. The Seller shall furnish the Trustee, or its designated
agent,
with a copy of each Assignment submitted for recording. In the event that
any
such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein,
the
Seller shall promptly have a substitute Assignment prepared or have such
defect
cured, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be
duly
recorded.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Seller shall not cause to be recorded any Assignment which
relates to a Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property in California
or in
any other jurisdiction where the Rating Agencies do not require recordation
in
order to receive the ratings on the Certificates at the time of their initial
issuance (which, in the case of the Insured Certificates, shall be without
regard to the Policy); provided,
however,
that
each Assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Seller in the manner
described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or Trustee, upon the earliest
to occur of: (i) direction by the Holders of the Certificates entitled to
at
least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of
Termination, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency relating
to the
Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section
7.02
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (v) if the Seller is not the Servicer
and with respect to any one Assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy,
insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related
Mortgage.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within five Business Days after
the
Closing Date, the Seller shall either:
(x) deliver
to the Trustee the Mortgage File as required pursuant to this Article II
for
each Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loan; or
(y)(A) repurchase
the Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) substitute a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan for a Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loan, which repurchase or
substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions
herein (treating each such Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage
Loan for purposes of Section 3.03);
provided,
however, that if the Seller fails to deliver a Mortgage File for any Delayed
Delivery Mortgage Loan within the period specified herein, the Seller shall
use
its best reasonable efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase
of, such Delayed Delivery Mortgage Loan; provided, further, that the cure
period
provided for herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not
apply
to the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delayed Delivery Mortgage
Loan, but rather the Seller shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such
failure to deliver.
Section 2.03 Payment
of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loans.
In
consideration of the sale of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased hereunder,
the
Purchaser shall pay to or upon the order of the Seller on the Closing Date
the
purchase price thereof (the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Price”) by transfer to the
Seller of (i) immediately available funds in an amount equal to the net sale
proceeds of the Class A Certificates and (ii) the Class M Certificates, the
Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Class R Certificates
(the
“IndyMac Certificates”). The Seller shall pay, and be billed directly for, all
expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the issuance of the
Certificates, including, without limitation, printing fees incurred in
connection with the Prospectus Supplement relating to the Class A Certificates
and the Class M Certificates and the Private Placement Memorandum relating
to
the Class B Certificates, fees and expenses of Purchaser’s counsel, accountant’s
fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate
Insurer and other out-of-pocket costs, if any.

Representations and Warranties Relating to the Seller.
The
Seller represents, warrants and covenants to the Purchaser as of the Closing
Date:
(i) The
Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a federal
savings bank under the laws of the United States and is licensed, qualified
and
in good standing in each state in which any Mortgaged Property is located
if the
laws of such state require licensing or qualification in order to conduct

to hold
each Mortgage Loan and to sell each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller and the performance
of
and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not violate the Seller’s

the Seller is a party or which may be applicable to the Seller or its
assets;
(iv) The
Seller is not in violation of, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement
by the Seller and its performance and compliance with the terms of this
Agreement will not constitute a violation with respect to, any order or decree

the
condition (financial or otherwise) or the operation of the Seller or its
assets

(v) The
Seller does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe,
that
it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this
Agreement;
(vi) There
are
no actions or proceedings against, or investigations known to it of, the
Seller
before any court, administrative or other tribunal (A) that might prohibit
its
entering into this Agreement, (B) seeking to prevent the sale of the Mortgage
Loans or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or
(C) that might prohibit or materially and adversely affect the performance
by
the Seller of its obligations under, or validity or enforceability of, this
Agreement;
(vii) No
consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency
or
body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller
of,
or compliance by the Seller with, this Agreement or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents,
approvals, authorizations or orders, if any, that have been
obtained;
(viii) The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the
ordinary course of business of the Seller, and the transfer, assignment and
conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages by the Seller pursuant
to
this Agreement are not subject to the bulk transfer or any similar statutory
provisions;
(ix) The
information delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser with respect to the
Seller’s loan loss, foreclosure and delinquency experience on mortgage loans
underwritten to similar standards as the Mortgage Loans and covering mortgaged
properties similar to the Mortgaged Properties, is true and correct in all
material respects as of the date of such report;
(x) Except
with respect to any statement regarding the intentions of the Purchaser,
or any
other statement contained herein, the truth or falsity of which is dependent
solely upon the actions of the Purchaser, this Agreement does not contain
any
untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
to
make the statements contained herein not misleading. The written statements,
reports and other documents prepared and furnished or to be prepared and
furnished by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with
the
transactions contemplated hereby and by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
taken in the aggregate, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact
or
omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained
therein
not misleading;
(xi) The
Seller has not transferred the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser with any intent
to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors;
(xii) The
Seller has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person,
except for the Purchaser or any of its affiliates, that may be entitled to
any
commission or compensation in connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans
(except that an entity that previously financed the Seller’s ownership of the
Mortgage Loans may be entitled to a fee to release its security interest
in the
Mortgage Loans, which fee shall have been paid and which security interest
shall
have been released on or prior to the Closing Date); and
(xiii) There
is
no litigation currently pending or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge,
threatened against the Seller that would reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the transfer of the Mortgage Loans, the issuance of the Certificates
or
the execution, delivery, performance or enforceability of this Agreement
or the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or that would result in a material adverse
change in the financial condition of the Seller.
Section 3.03 Remedies
for Breach of Representations and Warranties.
It is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Sections 3.01 and 3.02 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser, notwithstanding
any
restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or
the
examination or lack of examination of any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by
either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties that materially and adversely affects the
value
of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially
and
adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage
Loan in
the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage
Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
to the
others. The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Servicer and the Trustee
for any
expenses reasonably incurred by the Servicer or the Trustee in respect of
enforcing the remedies for the breach.
Within
90
days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any
breach
of a representation or warranty made by the Seller that materially and adversely
affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the interest
therein of the Purchaser, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly
to cure
such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured,
the
Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the
Purchase Price. In the event that such a breach shall involve any representation
or warranty set forth in Section 3.02 and such breach cannot be cured within
90
days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of such
breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser’s option, be
repurchased by the Seller at the Purchase Price. The Seller may, assuming
the
Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase a
deficient Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan (in
which
case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute in its place
a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans. Upon substitution, such Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject in all respects to the
terms
of this Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties
thereof included in this Agreement, as of the date of such substitution.
If the
Seller does not provide a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, it
shall
repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s)
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03 shall occur on
a date
specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall be accomplished
by
deposit in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Any repurchase or substitution required by this Section shall be made in
a
manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
At
the
time of substitution or repurchase of any deficient Mortgage Loan, the Purchaser
and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the repurchased or
substituted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery to the Seller of
any
documents held by the Purchaser relating to the deficient or repurchased
Mortgage Loan. In the event the Purchase Price is deposited in the Collection
Account, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such deposit, give written
notice
to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon such repurchase,
the
Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the withdrawal of the
repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering
to the Purchaser or its designee for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
or
Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and such other documents
and agreements as are required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with
the
Mortgage Note endorsed as required therein. The Seller shall deposit in the
Collection Account the Monthly Payment less the Servicing Fee due on such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date
of
such substitution. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by the Seller.
For
the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the
Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution,
and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such
substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to
the
terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to
have
made with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans as
of the
date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth
in
Sections 3.01 and 3.02.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3.01 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the
Trustee on behalf of the Purchaser.
It
is
understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in Section
3.03 to cure, repurchase and substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan and
to
indemnify the Parties as provided in Section 5.01 constitute the sole remedies
of the Purchaser respecting a missing or defective document or a breach of
the
representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 or 3.02.
ARTICLE
IV
Section 4.01 Covenants
of the Seller.
The
Seller hereby covenants that except for the transfer hereunder, the Seller
will
not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create,
incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Mortgage Loan, or any interest
therein; the Seller will notify the Trustee, as assignee of the Purchaser,
of
the existence of any Lien on any Mortgage Loan immediately upon discovery
thereof, and the Seller will defend the right, title and interest of the
Trust,
as assignee of the Purchaser, in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, against
all
claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller; provided,
however,
that
nothing in this Section 4.01 shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit the Seller
from suffering to exist upon any of the Mortgage Loans any Liens for municipal
or other local taxes and other governmental charges if such taxes or
governmental charges shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Seller
shall currently be contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate
proceedings and shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with
respect
thereto.
ARTICLE
V
Section 5.01 Indemnification.
The
Seller agrees to indemnify and to hold each of the Purchaser, the Trustee,
each
of the officers and directors of each such entity and each person or entity
who
controls each such entity or person harmless against any and all claims,
losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and
any
other costs, fees and expenses that the Purchaser, the Trustee, or any such
person or entity may sustain in any way (i) related to the failure of the
Seller
to perform its duties in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii)
arising from a breach by the Seller of its representations and warranties
in
Section 3.01 or 3.02 of this Agreement or (iii) related to the origination
or
prior servicing of the Mortgage Loans by reason of any acts, omissions, or
alleged acts or omissions of the Seller or any servicer. The Seller shall
immediately notify the Purchaser and the Trustee if a claim is made by a
third
party with respect to this Agreement. The Seller shall assume the defense
of any
such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable
counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree
which may be entered against the Purchaser, the Trustee or any such person
or
entity in respect of such claim.
Promptly
after receipt by any indemnified party under this Article V of notice of
any
claim or the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if
a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under
this
Article V, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the
commencement of that action; provided,
however,
that
the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Article V except to the extent it
has
been materially prejudiced by such failure; provided,
further,
that
the failure to notify any indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under
this
Article V.
If
any
such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it
shall
notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled
to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any
other
similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from
the
indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable
to
the indemnified party under this Article V for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
Any
indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such
action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless: (i)
the
employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying party
in
writing; (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised in writing by
such
counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which
are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party
and in
the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified
party to employ separate counsel; or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed
to
assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory
to
the indemnified party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies
the
indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at
the
expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have
the
right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified
party,
it being understood, however, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection
with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related
actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations
or
circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than
one
separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) at any time for
all
such indemnified parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by the
Purchaser, if the indemnified parties under this Article V consist of the
Purchaser, and by the Seller, if the indemnified parties under this Article
V
consist of the Seller.
Each
indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements, shall use
its
reasonable efforts to cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense
of
any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any
settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action,
the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified
party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement
or
judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified
party shall have requested an indemnifying party to consent to a settlement
of
any action, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if such
settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying
party of the aforesaid request and the indemnifying party has not previously
provided the indemnified party with written notice of its objection to such
settlement. No indemnifying party shall effect any settlement of any pending
or
threatened proceeding in respect of which an indemnified party is or could
have
been a party and indemnity is or could have been sought hereunder, without
the
written consent of such indemnified party, unless settlement includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability and claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
ARTICLE
VI
Section 6.01 Termination.
The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Seller and the Purchaser
created hereby shall terminate, except for the Seller’s indemnity obligations as
provided herein, upon the termination of the Trust as provided in Article
X of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
ARTICLE
VII
Section 7.01 Amendment.
This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Seller and the Purchaser,
by
written agreement signed by the Seller and the Purchaser.
Section 7.02 Governing
Law.
THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE
PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARDS TO ANY
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS
OF
SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS
AGREEMENT.
Section
7.03 Notices.
All
demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be
deemed to have been duly given when delivered as follows: (i) if to the Seller:
IndyMac Bank, F.S.B., 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx., 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx
00000, Attention: Secondary Marketing, or such other address as may hereafter
be
furnished to the Purchaser in writing by the Seller; (ii) if to the Purchaser:
IndyMac MBS, Inc., 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx., 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx
00000, Attention: Secondary Marketing, or such other address as may hereafter
be
furnished to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser.
Section
7.04 Severability
of Provisions.
If any
one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement
shall be held invalid for any reason whatsoever, 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 of enforceability of the other provisions of this
Agreement.
Section
7.05 Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different
parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed,
shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts, together, shall constitute
one and the same agreement.
Section
7.06 Further
Agreements.
The
Purchaser and the Seller each agree to execute and deliver to the other such
additional documents, instruments or agreements as may be necessary or
reasonable and appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or
in
connection with the issuance of the Certificates representing interests in
the
Mortgage Loans.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, as a further inducement for the
Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, the Seller will
cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the sale of any of the
securities representing interests in the Mortgage Loans. In that connection,
the
Seller will provide to the Purchaser any and all information and appropriate
verification of information, whether through letters of its auditors and
counsel
or otherwise, as the Purchaser shall reasonably request and will provide
to the
Purchaser such additional representations and warranties, covenants, opinions
of
counsel, letters from auditors, and certificates of public officials or officers
of the Seller as are reasonably required in connection with such transactions
and the offering of investment grade securities rated by the Rating
Agencies.
Section
7.07 Intention
of the Parties.
It is
the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the Seller
is
selling, the Mortgage Loans rather than pledging the Mortgage Loans to secure
a
loan by the Purchaser to the Seller. Accordingly, the parties hereto each
intend
to treat the transaction for federal income tax purposes and all other purposes
as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage
Loans.
In the event the transaction set forth herein is deemed not to be a sale,
the
Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in all of the Seller’s
right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans and other property
described above, whether now existing or hereafter created, to secure all
of the
Seller’s obligations hereunder; and this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law. The Purchaser will have the right to review
the
Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Files to determine the characteristics
of the Mortgage Loans which will affect the federal income tax consequences
of
owning the Mortgage Loans and the Seller will cooperate with all reasonable
requests made by the Purchaser in the course of such review.
Section
7.08 Successors
and Assigns: Assignment of Purchase Agreement.
This
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Seller, the Purchaser and the Trustee. The obligations of the Seller under
this
Agreement cannot be assigned or delegated by the Seller to a third party
without
the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall be at the Purchaser’s sole
discretion, except that the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller
may assign its obligations hereunder to any Person into which the Seller
is
merged or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which the Seller is a party or any Person succeeding to the business of
the
Seller. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Purchaser is acquiring the
Mortgage Loans for the purpose of contributing them to a trust that will
issue
the Certificates representing undivided interests in such Mortgage Loans.
As an
inducement to the Purchaser to purchase the Mortgage Loans, the Seller
acknowledges and consents to the assignment by the Purchaser to the Trustee
for
the benefit of the Certificateholders of all of the Purchaser’s rights against
the Seller pursuant to this Agreement insofar as such rights relate to Mortgage
Loans transferred to the Trustee and to the enforcement or exercise of any
right
or remedy against the Seller pursuant to this Agreement by the Trustee. Such
enforcement of a right or remedy by the Trustee shall have the same force
and
effect as if the right or remedy had been enforced or exercised by the Purchaser
directly.
Section
7.09 Survival.
The
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02, the remedies
set forth in Section 3.03 and the provisions of Article V hereof shall survive
the purchase of the Mortgage Loans hereunder.
Section
7.10 Third
Party Beneficiary.
The Certificate Insurer, if any, shall be a third party beneficiary hereof,
until such time as the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates
has been reduced to zero and all amounts owed to the Certificate Insurer
have
been paid in full, and may enforce the terms hereof as if a party hereto.
The
Trustee shall be a third party beneficiary hereof.

Upon Request)
|
EXHIBIT
A
|
The
Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, as of the Closing
Date,
or if so specified herein, as of the related Cut-off Date as
follows.
(i) The
information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as to each Mortgage Loan
is
true and correct as of the Cut-off Date.
(ii) As
of the
Closing Date, all regularly scheduled Monthly Payments due with respect to
each
Mortgage Loan up to and including the first day of the month before the Cut-off
Date have been made; and as of the Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan had more
than
one regularly scheduled Monthly Payment that was 30 or more days Delinquent
during the twelve months before the Cut-off Date.
(iii) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage is a valid and enforceable
first lien on the Mortgaged Property, subject only to (a) the lien of
nondelinquent 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 generally acceptable to mortgage lending institutions
in the area wherein the related Mortgaged Property is located 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.
(iv) Immediately
before the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, the Seller
had
good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear
of
any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest and had full right and
authority, subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with,
any
other party, to sell and assign the same pursuant to this
Agreement.
(v) As
of the
date of origination of each Mortgage Loan, there was no delinquent tax or
assessment lien against the related Mortgaged Property. Except for payment
defaults permitted in clause (ii) above, there are no defaults in complying
with
the terms of the Mortgage, or an escrow of funds has been established in
an
amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which
has
been assessed but is not yet due and payable. The Seller 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 under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date
of
the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds,
whichever is earlier, to the date which precedes by one month the Due Date
of
the first installment of principal and interest.
(vi) 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. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole
or in
part, except in connection with an assumption agreement, approved by the
issuer
of the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption
agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Custodian or
to
such other Person as the Purchaser shall designate in writing and the terms
of
which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(vii) 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 (xi) below.
(viii) No
Mortgaged Property has been materially damaged by water, fire, earthquake,
windstorm, flood, tornado, hurricane or similar casualty (excluding casualty
from the presence of hazardous wastes or hazardous substances, as to which
the
Seller makes no representation) so as to affect adversely the value of the
related Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.
(ix) Each
Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material respects with applicable
local, state and federal laws and regulations, including usury, equal credit
opportunity, anti-money laundering laws, real estate settlement procedures
and
truth-in-lending and disclosure laws, or any noncompliance does not have
a
material adverse effect on the value of the related Mortgage Loan.
(x) As
of the
Closing Date the Seller has not: 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 Purchaser and which has been delivered to the Purchaser);
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.
(xi) A
lender’s policy of title insurance, together with extended coverage endorsement,
if applicable, in an amount at least equal to the Stated Principal Balance
of
each such Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date or a commitment (binder) to
issue
the same was effective on the date of the origination of each Mortgage Loan
and
each such policy is valid and remains in full force and effect.
(xii) To
the
best of the Seller’s knowledge, all inspections, licenses and certificates
required to be made or issued with respect to the Mortgaged Property and,
with
respect to the use of the same, have been made or obtained from the appropriate
authorities, unless the lack thereof would not have a material adverse effect
on
the value of the Mortgaged Property. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the
Mortgage and any other such related agreement had legal capacity to enter
into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage
and
any such agreement, and the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such
related agreement have been duly and properly executed by other such related
parties. The Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage
File.
(xiii) The
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.
(xiv) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no
requirement for future advances thereunder.
(xv) 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. There is no homestead or other exemption
available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the
Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage,
subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with
respect
to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law.
(xvi) 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 serves and is named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses
are
or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of
trust,
except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the
Mortgagor.
(xvii) To
the
best of the Seller’s knowledge, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for
the total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property, nor is such
a
proceeding currently occurring.
(xvii) To
the
best of the Seller’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 material non-monetary default, breach, violation or event
of
acceleration under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and the Seller
has
not waived any material non-monetary default, breach, violation or event
of
acceleration.
(xviii) Each
Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property in
a form
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac.
(xix) Any
leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a stated term at least as long
as
the term of the related Mortgage Loan.
(xx) Each
Mortgage Loan was selected from among the outstanding residential lot mortgage
loans in the Seller’s portfolio at the Closing Date as to which the
representations and warranties made with respect to the Mortgage Loans set
forth
herein can be made. No such selection was made in a manner intended to adversely
affect the interests of the Purchaser.
(xxi) Each
Mortgage Loan constitutes a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code.
(xxii) As
of the
Closing Date, no two Mortgaged Properties are mortgaged by any one
borrower.
(xxiii) None
of
the Mortgage Loans are classified as (a) “high cost” loans under the Home
Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or (b) “high cost,” “threshold,”
“covered,” “predatory” or “abusive” loans under any other applicable state,
federal or local law.
(xxiv) No
Mortgage Loans are subject to the Georgia Fair Lending Act (“GFLA”), effective
from October 1, 2002 to March 6, 2003.
(xxv) No
Mortgage Loan is subject to the requirements of the Home Ownership and Equity
Protection Act of 1994 (“HOEPA”) and no Mortgage Loan is in violation of any
state law or ordinance similar to HOEPA.
(xxvi) Each
Prepayment Charge is enforceable against and was originated in compliance
with
all federal, state and local laws, (except to the extent that (i) the
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and
(ii) the collectability thereof may be limited due to acceleration in connection
with a foreclosure or other involuntary payoff).
(xxvii) No
loan
is a high cost loan or a covered loan, as applicable (as such terms are defined
in the then-current version of Standard & Poor’s LEVELS which is now Version
5.6(c) Glossary Revised, Appendix E).
(xxviii) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in
whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that
would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.
The
Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if
the
Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be
in default, nor has the Seller waived any default resulting from any action
or
inaction by the Mortgagor.
(xxix) The
Mortgaged Property is a fee simple property located in the state identified
in
the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except that with respect to real property located
in
jurisdictions in which the use of leasehold estates for residential properties
is a widely-accepted practice, the Mortgaged Property may be a leasehold
estate.
If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term residential lease: (1) the
lessor
under the lease holds a fee simple interest in the land; (2) the terms of
such
lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the leasehold estate, the assignment
of
the lease without the lessor’s consent and the acquisition by the holder of the
Mortgage of the rights of the lessee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu
of
foreclosure or provide the holder of the Mortgage with substantially similar
protections; (3) the terms of such lease do not (a) allow the termination
thereof upon the lessee’s default without the holder of the Mortgage being
entitled to receive written notice of, and opportunity to cure, such default,
(b) allow the termination of the lease in the event of damage or destruction
as
long as the Mortgage is in existence, (c) prohibit the holder of the Mortgage
from being insured (or receiving proceeds of insurance) under the hazard
insurance policy or policies relating to the Mortgaged Property or (d) permit
any increase in rent other than pre-established increases set forth in the
lease; and (4) the term of such lease does not terminate earlier than five
years
after the maturity date of the Mortgage Note.
(xxx) The
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines
in
effect as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan, as set forth
in the
Prospectus Supplement. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms generally
acceptable to Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae and the Seller has not made any
representations to a Mortgagor that are inconsistent with the mortgage
instruments used.
(xxxi) To
the
best of the Seller’s knowledge, there is no pending action or proceeding
directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any
environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue.
(xxxii) The
Mortgagor has not notified the Seller, and the Seller has no knowledge of
any
relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Relief Act.
(xxxiii) Each
original Mortgage was recorded and all subsequent assignments of the original
Mortgage (other than the assignment to the Purchaser) have been recorded
in the
appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect
the
lien thereof as against creditors of the Seller, or is in the process of
being
recorded.
(xxxv) The
Mortgage Loan is not subject to any outstanding litigation for fraud,
origination, predatory lending, servicing or closing practices.
(xxxvi) Each
Mortgage Loan has been serviced in all material respects in compliance with
all
applicable federal, state and local laws.
(xxxvii) The
Mortgage contains an enforceable provision (except as such enforcement may
be
effected by bankruptcy and insolvency laws or by general principals of equity)
for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred
without the prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder, and to the
best
of the Seller’s knowledge, such provision is enforceable.
(xxxviii) None
of
the Fixed-Rate Mortgage Loans are, by their terms, assumable.
(xxxix) To
the
best of Seller’s knowledge there was no fraud involved in the origination of any
Mortgage Loan by the Mortgagee or by the Mortgagor, any Appraiser or any
Other
Party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan.

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 Class R Certificates (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement (the “Agreement”), relating to the above-referenced
Certificates, among the IndyMac MBS, Inc. (the “Depositor”), IndyMac Bank,
F.S.B., as seller (the “Seller”) and servicer (the “Servicer”) and Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used, but
not defined herein 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, as of the date hereof and will be, as of the date of the
Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as nominee,
trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an affidavit from
such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Transferee
has
no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be imposed
on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted Transferees;
(ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such Transfer is through
an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) to a Person that is
not
a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person otherwise liable
for
the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the subsequent Transferee
furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent Transferee is a
Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person does not have
actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands
that
such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record
holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record holder
is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual
knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through
entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives
and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding
interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement
and
understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership Interest
in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on subsequent
Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and mandatory sales.
The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions
of
Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the restrictions noted on the face of
the
Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees that any breach of any of
the
representations included herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee
contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting
as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person that
the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any
such
Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee
a
certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit L to the Agreement
(a
“Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such Transferee has no actual
knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted
Transferee.
7. The
Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection
of
any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.
8. The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is .
9. The
Transferee is a United States Person as defined in the Agreement.
10. The
Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “non-economic residual
interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a non-economic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
11. The
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA or a plan
that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor is it acting on behalf of
such
a plan.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed on
its
behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its duly authorized
officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this
_______ day of _______, ____.
