THIS
POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of July 1, 2007, among CWALT, INC.,
a
Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS,
INC. (“Countrywide”), a New York corporation, as a seller (a “Seller”), PARK
GRANADA LLC (“Park Granada”), a Delaware limited liability company, as a seller
(a “Seller”), PARK MONACO INC. (“Park Monaco”), a Delaware corporation, as a
seller (a “Seller”), PARK SIENNA LLC (“Park Sienna”), a Delaware limited
liability company, as a seller (a “Seller”), COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS SERVICING
LP, a Texas limited partnership, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), and
THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a banking corporation organized under the laws of the
State of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
WITNESSETH
THAT
In
consideration of the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties
to this Agreement agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
The
Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee
in return for the Certificates. The Trust Fund (excluding the Carryover Reserve
Fund) for federal income tax purposes will consist of three REMICs (the “Swap-IO
REMIC,” the “ Strip REMIC” and the “Master REMIC”). Each Certificate,
other than the Class A-R Certificate, will represent ownership of one or
more
regular interests in the Master REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
The
Class A-R Certificate will represent ownership of the sole class of residual
interest in each of the Swap-IO REMIC, the Strip REMIC and the Master
REMIC. The Master REMIC will hold as assets the several classes of
uncertificated Strip REMIC Interests (other than the STR-A-R
Interest). Each Strip REMIC Interest (other than the STR-A-R
Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Strip
REMIC. The Strip REMIC will hold as assets the several classes of
uncertificated Swap-IO REMIC Interests (other than the SWR-A-R Interest).
Each
Swap-IO REMIC Interest (other than the SWR-A-R Interest) is hereby designated
as
a regular interest in the Swap-IO REMIC. The Swap-IO REMIC will hold
as assets all property of the Trust Fund (excluding the Carryover Reserve
Fund). The latest possible maturity date of all REMIC regular
interests created in this Agreement shall be the Latest Possible Maturity
Date.
The
Supplemental Interest Trust, the Derivative Agreements and the Derivative
Accounts will not constitute any part of any REMIC.
SWAP-IO
REMIC:
The
Swap-IO REMIC Interests will have the principal balances and pass-through
rates
as set forth below:

|
Scheduled
principal, prepayments and Realized Losses will be allocated first,
to the
SWR-Support Interest and second, to the numbered classes sequentially
(from lowest to highest). Amounts so allocated to a numbered
class shall be further allocated among the “A” and “B” components of such
numbered class pro-rata until the entire class is reduced to
zero.
|

|
On
and after the 2nd Distribution Date and on and until the 60th Distribution
Date, a rate equal to twice the Pool Tax Cap less 10.80% per annum
but not
less 0%. On the first Distribution Date and on and after the
61st Distribution Date, a rate equal to the Pool Tax Cap. The
“Pool Tax Cap” means the weighted average of the Adjusted Net Mortgage
Rates of all the Mortgage Loans. For this purpose, the Adjusted
Net Mortgage Rate shall be determined by first reducing the interest
payable on each Sub-Group X Mortgage Loan by (i) 0.65% per annum
on any
Distribution Date on or prior to the Distribution Date in July
2017 and
(ii) 1.65% per annum on any Distribution Date after the Distribution
Date
in July 2017.
|
|
(3)
|
On
and after the 2nd Distribution Date and on and until the 60th Distribution
Date, a rate equal to the lesser of (i) 10.80% per annum and (ii)
twice
the Pool Tax Cap. On the first Distribution Date and on and
after the 61st Distribution Date, a rate equal to the Pool Tax
Cap.
|
|
(4)
|
On
the Closing Date and on each Distribution Date, following the allocation
of Principal Amounts and Realized Losses, the principal balance
in respect
of the SWR-Support Interest will equal the excess of the principal
balance
of the Mortgage Loans (as of the end of the Due Period, reduced
by
principal prepayments received after the Due Period that are to
be
distributed on the Distribution Date related to the Due Period)
over the
principal balance in respect of the remaining Swap-IO REMIC Interests
other than the SWR-P and the SWR-A-R
Interests.
|
|
(5)
|
A
rate equal to the Pool Tax Cap.
|
|
(6)
|
On
each Distribution Date the Class SWR-P Interest is entitled to
all
Prepayment Charges collected with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. It pays no
interest.
|
|
(7)
|
The
SWR-X-IO Interest shall be entitled to a specific portion of the
interest
payable on each Sub-Group X Mortgage Loan. Specifically, the
SWR-X-IO Interest shall be entitled to a specific portion of the
interest
payable on the Stated Principal Balance of each Sub-Group X Mortgage
Loan
as of the Due Date in the month preceding the month of that Distribution
Date (after giving effect to Principal Prepayments in the Prepayment
Period related to that prior Due Date) at a per annum rate equal
to (i)
0.65% on any Distribution Date on or prior to the Distribution
Date in
July 2017 and (ii) 1.65% on any Distribution Date after the Distribution
Date in July 2017.
|
|
(8)
|
The
Class SW-A-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in
the
Swap-IO REMIC. It has no principal and pays no principal or
interest.
|
On
each
Distribution Date, the Available Funds shall be payable with respect to the
Swap-IO REMIC Interests in the following manner:
(1) Interest. Interest
is to be distributed with respect to each Swap-IO REMIC Interest at the rate,
or
according to the formulas, described above.
(2) Principal. Principal
Distribution Amounts shall be allocated among the Swap-IO REMIC Interests
as
described above.
(3) Prepayment
Penalties. All Prepayment Charges are allocated to the SWR-P
Interest.

This
Strip REMIC Interest has a principal balance that is initially
equal to
100% of its corresponding Certificate Class issued by the Master
REMIC. Principal payments, both scheduled and prepaid, Realized
Losses and Subsequent Recoveries attributable to the SWAP-IO REMIC
Interests held by the Strip REMIC will be allocated to this class
to
maintain its size relative to its corresponding Certificate
Class.
|
|
(2)
|
On
each Distribution Date, the pass through rate will equal the “Strip REMIC
Cap.” The Strip REMIC Cap will equal the weighted average of
the pass through rates of the Swap-IO REMIC Interests (other than
the
Class SWR-P, Class SWR-X-IO and Class SWR-A-R Interests) treating
each “B”
Interest the cardinal number of which (for example, XXX-0X, XXX-0X,
XXX-0X, etc.) is not less than the ordinal number of the Distribution
Date
|
(second
Distribution Date, third Distribution Date,
fourth Distribution Date, etc.) as capped at a rate equal to the product
of (i)
2 and (ii) LIBOR.
|
(3)
|
This
Strip REMIC Interest pays no
interest.
|
|
(4)
|
This
Strip REMIC Interest has a principal balance that is initially
equal to
100% of the Overcollateralized Amount. Principal payments, both
scheduled and prepaid, Realized Losses and Subsequent Recoveries
attributable to the Swap-IO REMIC Interests held by the Strip REMIC
will
be allocated to this class to maintain its size relative to the
Overcollateralized Amount.
|
|
(5)
|
For
each Distribution Date, the STR-C-Swap-IO Interest is entitled
to receive
from each Swap REMIC “B” Interest the cardinal number of which (for
example, XXX-0X, XXX-0X, XXX-0X, etc.) is not less than the ordinal
number
of the Distribution Date (second Distribution Date, third Distribution
Date, fourth Distribution Date, etc.) the interest accruing on
such
interest in excess of a per annum rate equal to the product of
(i) 2 and
(ii) LIBOR.
|
|
(6)
|
The
STR-X-IO Interest is entitled to all amounts payable with respect
to the
SWR-X-IO Interest.
|
|
(7)
|
The
STR-P Interest is entitled to all amounts payable with respect
to the
SWR-P Interest. It pays no
interest.
|
|
(8)
|

STR-A-R Interest is the sole class of residual interest in the
Strip
REMIC. It has no principal balance and pays no principal or
interest.
|
On
each
Distribution Date, the Interest Funds and the Principal Distribution Amount
payable with respect to the Swap-IO Interests shall be payable with respect
to
the Strip REMIC Interests in the following manner:
(1) Interest. Interest
is to be distributed with respect to each Strip REMIC Interest at the rate,
or
according to the formulas, described above.
(2) Principal. Principal
Distribution Amounts shall be allocated among the Strip
REMIC Interests as described above.

|
This
Class of Certificates will accrue interest at the related Pass-Through
Rates identified in this Agreement. For federal income tax
purposes, including the computation of the Class C Distributable
Amount
and entitlement to Net Rate Carryover, the Pass-Through Rate in
respect of
each Class of Senior Certificates (other than the Class X and Class
A-R
Certificates) and Subordinated Certificates will be subject to
a cap equal
to the Strip REMIC Cap rather than the Net Rate
Cap.
|
|
(2)
|
This
Class of Certificates will be a Class of Notional Amount Master
REMIC
Interest, will have no principal balance and will bear interest
on its
Notional Amount. The Class X Master REMIC Interest is entitled
to all amounts payable with respect to the STR-X-IO
Interest.
|
|
(3)
|
For
federal income tax purposes, the Class C Certificates will be treated
as
having a Class Certificate Balance equal to the Overcollateralized
Amount.
|
|
(4)
|
For
each Accrual Period, the Class C Certificates are entitled to an
amount
(the “Class C Distributable Amount”) equal to the sum of (a) the interest
payable on the STR-C-Swap-IO Interest, (b) the interest payable
on the
STR-C-OC Interest and (c) a specified portion of the interest payable
on
the Strip REMIC Regular Interests (other than the STR-$100, STR-C-OC,
STR-P, STR-X-IO and STR-C-Swap-IO Interests) equal to the excess
of the
Pool Tax Cap over the weighted average interest rate of the Strip
REMIC
Regular
|
Interests
(other than the STR-$100, STR-C and STR-P
Interests) with each such Class subject to a cap and a floor equal to the
Pass-Through Rate of the Corresponding Master REMIC Class. The
pass-through rate of the Class C Certificates shall be a rate sufficient
to
entitle it to an amount equal to all interest accrued on the Mortgage Loans
less
the interest accrued on the other interests issued by the Master
REMIC. The Class C Distributable Amount for any Distribution Date is
payable from current interest on the Mortgage Loans and any
Overcollateralization Reduction Amount for that Distribution Date.
|
(5)
|
For
each Distribution Date the Class P Certificates are entitled to
all
Prepayment Charges distributed with respect to the STR-P
Interest.
|
|
(6)
|
The
Class A-R Certificates represent the sole class of residual interest
in
each REMIC created hereunder. The Class A-R Certificates are
not entitled to distributions of
interest.
|
The
foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage
Loans to flow through to the Master REMIC as cash flow on REMIC regular
interests, without creating any shortfall—actual or potential (other than for
credit losses)— to any REMIC regular interest. It is not intended that the Class
A-R Certificates be entitled to any cash flows pursuant to this Agreement
except
as provided in Section 4.02(b) hereunder.

Conveyance
of Mortgage Loans
|
(a) Each
Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby
sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Depositor,
without recourse, all its respective right, title and interest in and to
the
related Mortgage Loans, including all interest and principal received or
receivable by such Seller, on or with respect to the applicable Mortgage
Loans
after the Cut-off Date and all interest and principal payments on the related
Mortgage Loans received prior to the Cut-off Date in respect of installments
of
interest and principal due thereafter, but not including payments of principal
and interest due and payable on such Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off
Date. On or prior to the Closing Date, Countrywide shall deliver to
the Depositor or, at the Depositor’s direction, to the Trustee or other designee
of the Depositor, the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan listed in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule (except that, in the case of the Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loans (which may include Countrywide Mortgage Loans, Park Granada Mortgage
Loans, Park Monaco Mortgage Loans or Park Sienna Mortgage Loans), such delivery
may take place within thirty (30) days following the Closing
Date). Such delivery of the Mortgage Files shall be made against
payment by the Depositor of the purchase price, previously agreed to by the
Sellers and Depositor, for the Mortgage Loans. With respect to any
Mortgage Loan that does not have a first payment date on or before the Due
Date
in the month of the first Distribution Date, Countrywide shall deposit into
the
Distribution Account on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date relating
to the first Distribution Date, an amount equal to one month’s interest at the
related Adjusted Mortgage Rate on the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of such
Mortgage Loan.
(b) Immediately
upon the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans referred to in clause (a), the
Depositor sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, without recourse, all
the
right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund together
with the Depositor’s right to require each Seller to cure any breach of a
representation or warranty made in this Agreement by such Seller or to
repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage Loan in accordance
herewith.
(c) In
connection with the transfer and assignment set forth in clause (b) above,
the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee (or,
in the
case of the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans, will deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date) for the
benefit of the Certificateholders the following documents or instruments
with
respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned:
(i) (A)
the original Mortgage Note endorsed by manual or facsimile signature in blank
in
the following form: “Pay to the order of ____________ without recourse,” with
all intervening endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from
the
originator to the Person endorsing the Mortgage Note (each such endorsement
being sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so
endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note);
or
(B)
with
respect to any Lost Mortgage Note, a lost note affidavit from Countrywide
stating that the original Mortgage Note was lost or destroyed, together with
a
copy of such Mortgage Note;
(ii) except
as provided below and for each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
Loan,
the original recorded Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage, with recording
information, (or, in the case of a Mortgage for which the related Mortgaged
Property is located in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a true copy of the
Mortgage certified as such by the applicable notary) and in the case of each
MERS Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage, with
recording information, noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loans
and
either language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage
Loan is a MOM Loan or if the Mortgage Loan was not a MOM Loan at origination,
the original Mortgage and the assignment thereof to MERS, with evidence of
recording indicated thereon, or a copy of the Mortgage certified by the public
recording office in which such Mortgage has been recorded;
(iii) in
the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, a duly executed
assignment of the Mortgage or a copy of such assignment, with recording
information, (which may be included in a blanket assignment or assignments),
together with, except as provided below, all interim recorded assignments
of
such mortgage or a copy of such assignment, with recording information, (each
such assignment, when duly and validly completed, to be in recordable form
and
sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof,
under the Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided that, if the
related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public recording
office, such assignment of the Mortgage may exclude the information to be
provided by the recording office; provided, further, that such assignment
of
Mortgage need not be delivered in the case of a Mortgage for which the related
Mortgaged Property is located in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico;
(iv) the
original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or
substitution agreement, if any;
(v) except
as provided below, the original or a copy of lender’s title policy or a printout
of the electronic equivalent and all riders thereto; and
(vi) in
the case of a Cooperative Loan, the originals of the following documents
or
instruments:
(A) The
Coop Shares, together with a stock power in blank;
(B) The
executed Security Agreement;
(C) The
executed Proprietary Lease;
(D) The
executed Recognition Agreement;
(E) The
executed UCC-1 financing statement with evidence of recording thereon which
have
been filed in all places required to perfect the applicable Seller’s interest in
the Coop Shares and the Proprietary Lease; and
(F) The
executed UCC-3 financing statements or other appropriate UCC financing
statements required by state law, evidencing a complete and unbroken line
from
the mortgagee to the Trustee with evidence of recording thereon (or in a
form
suitable for recordation).
In
addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage Loan, each
Seller agrees that it will cause, at the Trustee’s expense, the MERS® System to
indicate that the Mortgage Loans sold by such Seller to the Depositor have
been
assigned by that Seller to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement
for the
benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case
of
Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in
such
computer files the information required by the MERS® System to identify the
series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage
Loans. Each Seller further agrees that it will not, and will not
permit the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will
not,
alter the information referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage
Loan sold by such Seller to the Depositor during the term of this Agreement
unless and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the
terms
of this Agreement.
In
the
event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS Mortgage
Loan
the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage or a copy
of
such Mortgage, with recording information, or (b) all interim recorded
assignments or a copy of such assignments, with recording information, or
(c)
the lender’s title policy or a copy of lender’s title policy (together with all
riders thereto) satisfying the requirements of clause (ii), (iii) or (v)
above,
respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement
because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable
public recording office in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, or because
the title policy has not been delivered to either the Master Servicer or
the
Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case of clause (v) above,
the
Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, in the case of clause (ii)
or
(iii) above, such original Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage, with recording
information, or such interim assignment or a copy of such assignments, with
recording information, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated
thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy
thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but
in no
event shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim
assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant
recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date,
or, in
the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following the Closing
Date;
provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver
by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of
the
fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording
office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related
Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the
Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee as promptly as possible
upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing
Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the
Trustee (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an
assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents
required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer to the
Trustee. In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and
in connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the
public recording office requires the presentation of a “lost instruments
affidavit and indemnity” or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the
Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance,
the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the case
where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or
in the
case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office,
Countrywide shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of such Mortgage certified
by
such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original
recorded Mortgage.
As
promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment, and in
any
event, within one hundred twenty (120) days after such transfer and assignment,
the Trustee shall (A) as the assignee thereof, affix the following language
to
each assignment of Mortgage: “CWALT, Inc., Series 2007-HY8C, The Bank
of New York, as trustee”, (B) cause such assignment to be in proper form for
recording in the appropriate public office for real property records and
(C)
cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for
real
property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except
that,
(i) with respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which the Trustee has
not
received the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable
form,
the Trustee’s obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording
shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in
any
event within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof and (ii) the Trustee
need
not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan,
the
Mortgaged Property and Mortgage File relating to which are located in any
jurisdiction (including Puerto Rico) under the laws of which the recordation
of
such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s and the
Certificateholders’ interest in the related Mortgage Loan as evidenced by an
opinion of counsel delivered by Countrywide to the Trustee within 90 days
of the
Closing Date (which opinion may be in the form of a “survey” opinion and is not
required to be delivered by counsel admitted to practice law in the jurisdiction
as to which such legal opinion applies).
In
the
case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date,
the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Trustee,
will
deposit in the Certificate Account the portion of such payment that is required
to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
3.05.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within thirty (30) days after
the
Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans, Countrywide (on its own
behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall either
(i)
deliver to the Depositor, or at the Depositor’s direction, to the Trustee or
other designee of the Depositor the Mortgage File as required pursuant to
this
Section 2.01 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) either (A) substitute
a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B)
repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, which substitution or repurchase
shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth
in
Section 2.03 (treating each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage
Loan for purposes of such Section 2.03); provided, however, that if Countrywide
fails to deliver a Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within
the
thirty (30)-day period provided in the prior sentence, Countrywide (on its
own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall
use its
best reasonable efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase
of,
such Deleted Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided
for in Section 2.02 or in Section 2.03 shall not apply to the initial
delivery of the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but
rather
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna) shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such failure to deliver.
At the end of such thirty (30)-day period the Trustee shall send a Delay
Delivery Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during
such thirty (30)-day period in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.02.
(d) Neither
the Depositor nor the Trust will acquire or hold any Mortgage Loan that would
violate the representations made by Countrywide set forth in clause (46)
of
Schedule III-A hereto.

SECTION
2.02.
|
Acceptance
by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) The
Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F (an “Initial
Certification”) and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the
other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that
it
holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in
trust
for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain
possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of California, unless otherwise
permitted by the Rating Agencies.
The
Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) an Initial Certification in the form
annexed to this Agreement as Exhibit F. Based on its review and
examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial
Certification, the Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular
on
their face and relate to the Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall be
under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are
genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they
have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other
than what they purport to be on their face.
On
or
about the thirtieth (30th) day
after the
Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and Park Sienna) a Delay Delivery Certification with respect to the Mortgage
Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G (a “Delay Delivery
Certification”), with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
Not
later
than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Final Certification with respect
to the
Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H (a “Final
Certification”), with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If,
in
the course of such review, the Trustee finds any document constituting a
part of
a Mortgage File that does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, the
Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification;
provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any
determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer
all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or
assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in
recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer
to the
assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment
relates. Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall promptly correct or cure such
defect
within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such defect and, if
Countrywide does not correct or cure such defect within such period, Countrywide
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Substitute
Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) purchase
such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date Countrywide
(on
its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
was
notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage
Loan;
provided, however, that in no event shall such substitution or
purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date, except that if the
substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is
required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate
recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Master Servicer
or
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna) and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded
document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days
from
the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each
Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage
Loan (a) that has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or
(b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such
Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days
thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the
Trustee. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase
pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the
Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05, if any, and any
substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional
delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form
of
Exhibit N. No substitution is permitted to be made in any
calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The
Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by Countrywide
(on
its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
in
the Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date
for
the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and,
upon
receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form
of
Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna) and shall execute and deliver at Countrywide’s (on its own behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) request such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by Countrywide, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in Countrywide (on its own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna), or its
designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
If pursuant to the foregoing provisions Countrywide (on its own behalf and
on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) repurchases a Mortgage
Loan
that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cause
MERS to
execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer
the Mortgage from MERS to Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of
Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) or its designee and shall cause such
Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with
MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS® System
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna) or its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage
Loan.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) [Reserved].
(d) The
Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage File in accordance
with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee,
upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents
or
instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of
the
Master Servicer from time to time.
(e) It
is understood and agreed that the respective obligations of each Seller to
substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan sold to the Depositor by
it
which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 above shall constitute
the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor
and any Certificateholder against that Seller.

(b) The
Master Servicer hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth
in
Schedule IV hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor
and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date.
(c) Upon
discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or
warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan made pursuant to Section 2.03(a)
that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
in
that Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice
thereof to the other parties and the NIM Insurer. Each Seller hereby
covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt
of
written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty
with
respect to a Mortgage Loan sold by it pursuant to Section 2.03(a) that
materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
in that
Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if
such
breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such 90-day period expires prior to
the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a
“Deleted Mortgage Loan”) from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a
Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set
forth
in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage
Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below;
provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to (i)
above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion
of Counsel required by Section 2.05, if any, and any such substitution
pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery
to
the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N
and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan. The
Seller repurchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall
promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses
reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of
enforcing the remedies for such breach. With respect to the
representations and warranties described in this Section which are made to
the best of a Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Depositor, a
Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty
is
inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value
of the
related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein,
notwithstanding that Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of
such representation or warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach
of the
applicable representation or warranty.
With
respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans sold to the Depositor by
a
Seller, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment
of
the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by
Section
2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required
by
Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar
month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments
due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution
shall
not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the related Seller
on the
next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution,
distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due
on any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter that Seller shall be
entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for
the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and
the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and
the
related Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations
and
warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) with respect to such Mortgage
Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Certificate
Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with
such
substitution as described in the following paragraph, the Trustee shall release
the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating
to
such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related Seller and shall execute and deliver
at such Seller’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared
by Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco
and
Park Sienna), in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest
title
in that Seller, or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage
Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
For
any
month in which a Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans
for
one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the
amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Substitute
Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor by that Seller as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all Deleted
Mortgage Loans repurchased by that Seller (after application of the scheduled
principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of
substitution). The amount of such shortage (the “Substitution
Adjustment Amount”) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed
Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in
the
Certificate Account by Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) on or before the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar
month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased
or
replaced hereunder.
In
the
event that a Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase
Price
therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 3.05 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month during which that Seller
became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and
upon
such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel
required by Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the form
of Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File
held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver at such Person’s direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person
to
cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred
and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons
respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or
the
Trustee on their behalf.
The
representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall survive
delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the benefit
of the
Certificateholders.
|
SECTION
2.04.
|
Representations
and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage
Loans.
|
The
Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan as of the date of this Agreement or such other date set forth
in
this Agreement that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of
the
Mortgage Loans to it by each Seller, the Depositor had good title to the
Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, defenses
or
counterclaims.
The
Depositor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Trustee all of its
rights
with respect to the Mortgage Loans including, without limitation, the
representations and warranties of each Seller made pursuant to
Section 2.03(a), together with all rights of the Depositor to require a
Seller to cure any breach thereof or to repurchase or substitute for any
affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
this
Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach
of any of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this
Section
2.04 (referred to herein as a “breach”), which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating
Agency
and the NIM Insurer.
|
SECTION
2.05.
|
Delivery
of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
|
(a) Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, no substitution pursuant to
Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 shall be made more than 90 days after the
Closing Date unless Countrywide delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of either the Trustee
or
the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that such substitution
will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” on
the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup Date, as defined in Sections
860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) cause any REMIC
created under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any
Certificates are outstanding.
(b) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, a Seller, the Master Servicer, or the Trustee
that
any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact shall
promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of discovery) give
written notice thereof to the other parties and the NIM Insurer. In
connection therewith, the Trustee shall require Countrywide (on its own behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) at its option,
to
either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with respect
to
substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected
Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days
of
such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach
of
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03. The Trustee
shall reconvey to Countrywide the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant to
this
Section in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would
a
Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained
in Section 2.03.
|
SECTION
2.06.
|
Execution
and Delivery of Certificates.
|
The
Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund
and,
concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and delivered
to or
upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in authorized denominations
evidencing directly or indirectly the entire ownership of the Trust
Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and exercise the
rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future Holders
of
the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this Agreement, to
the
end that the interests of the Holders of the Certificates may be adequately
and
effectively protected.
|
SECTION
2.07.
|
REMIC
Matters.
|
The
Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and “latest possible maturity
date” for federal income tax purposes of all interests created
hereby. The “Startup Day” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall
be the Closing Date. The “tax matters person” with respect to each
REMIC hereunder shall be the Trustee and the Trustee shall hold the Tax Matters
Person Certificate. Each REMIC’s fiscal year shall be the calendar
year.
|
SECTION
2.08.
|
Covenants
of the Master Servicer.
|
The
Master Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee as
follows:
(a) the
Master Servicer shall comply in the performance of its obligations under
this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of the insurer under
each
Required Insurance Policy; and
(b) no
written information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing
or written report delivered to the Depositor, any affiliate of the Depositor
or
the Trustee and prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement
will
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact
necessary to make such information, certificate, statement or report not
misleading.
ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
MORTGAGE LOANS
|
SECTION
3.01.
|
Master
Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
|
For
and
on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and
customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan
servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the
Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or
through
Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02, subject to the terms of this
Agreement (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders
and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and
documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and
assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the
manner
provided in this Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and
other Liquidation Proceeds (which for the purpose of this Section 3.01 includes
any Subsequent Recoveries), and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other
conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage
Loan; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take any action that is
inconsistent with or prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders under this
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent and protect the
interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its own interests
in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding or litigation
regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not make or permit any modification,
waiver
or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which would cause any REMIC created under
this
Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of any
tax
under section 860F(a) or section 860G(d) of the
Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master
Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee,
is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the
Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders
or
any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or
of
partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments,
with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties
held
for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall
prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring
execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or appropriate
to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans
to
the extent that the Master Servicer is not permitted to execute and deliver
such
documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon receipt of such
documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents
and
deliver them to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer further is
authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders
and
the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the Subservicer, when the
Master
Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate
in its
best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, or cause the
removal from the registration of any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System, to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders
or any
of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other comparable instruments
with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the name
of
MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and
assigns.
In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose
of
effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties,
which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related
collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further as
provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master
Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments
on
the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the
purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be
added
to the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
|
SECTION
3.02.
|
Subservicing;
Enforcement of the Obligations of
Subservicers.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage Loan by
a
Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided,
however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the
related
subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans
in
a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated under this
Agreement; provided, however, that the NIM Insurer shall have consented to
such
subservicing agreements (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this
Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing
the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer
on
behalf of the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any
subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to
agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Subservicer
or
reference to actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master
Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee
and the
Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans
in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to
the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer
alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All
actions of each Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing
agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Master Servicer with the
same
force and effect as if performed directly by the Master Servicer.
(b) For
purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received
any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans
that
are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted
by the Subservicer to the Master Servicer.
|
SECTION
3.03.
|
Rights
of the Depositor, the NIM Insurer and the Trustee in Respect of
the Master
Servicer.
|
The
Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform,
or
cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement and in connection with any such defaulted obligation
to
exercise the related rights of the Master Servicer under this Agreement;
provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its
obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor
or its designee. None of the Trustee, the NIM Insurer or the
Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure
to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor be
obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement or otherwise.
|
SECTION
3.04.
|
Trustee
to Act as Master Servicer.
|
In
the
event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master
Servicer under this Agreement (including by reason of an Event of Default
or
termination by the Depositor), the Trustee or its successor shall then assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement
arising thereafter (except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for
losses of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 or any acts or
omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer under this Agreement),
(ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by
applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions
of Mortgage Loans under this Agreement including, but not limited to,
repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or
2.03, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and
warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement). Any such
assumption shall be subject to Section 7.02. If the Master
Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including
by
reason of any Event of Default or termination by the Depositor), the Trustee
or
its successor shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the Master Servicer
under each subservicing agreement.
The
Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of
the
Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing agreement
and
the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts
collected or held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the
orderly
and efficient transfer of the substitute subservicing agreement to the assuming
party.
|
SECTION
3.05.
|
Collection
of Mortgage Loan Payments; Certificate Account; Distribution Account;
Carryover Reserve Fund; Principal Reserve Fund and Supplemental
Interest
Trust.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with the customary
and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to collect
all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans
to the
extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms
and
provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy. Consistent with
the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge or, subject to Section 3.20, any Prepayment Charge or penalty
interest in connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and
(ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period
not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer cannot extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date
on
which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of
the
Cut-off Date. In the event of any such arrangement, the Master
Servicer shall make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with
the
provisions of Section 4.01 during the scheduled period in accordance with
the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof
by
reason of such arrangements. In addition, the NIM Insurer’s prior
written consent shall be required for any waiver of Prepayment Charges or
for
the extension of the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note, if the
aggregate number of outstanding Mortgage Loans that have been granted such
waivers or extensions exceeds 5% of the aggregate number of Mortgage
Loans. The Master Servicer shall not be required to institute or join
in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a
Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental
authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes
that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant
to
which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate Account into which
the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited no later than
two
Business Days after receipt (or, if (i) the current short-term credit rating
of
Countrywide from S&P is reduced below “A-2” or, if
Countrywide does not have a short-term credit rating from S&P, the current
long-term credit rating of Countrywide from S&P is reduced below “BBB+”,
(ii) the current long-term credit rating of Countrywide from Xxxxx’x is reduced
below “A3” or (iii) the current long-term credit rating of Countrywide from
Fitch is reduced below “A-”, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited on a daily basis within one Business Day of receipt), except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the following payments
and
collections remitted by Subservicers or received by it in respect of Mortgage
Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal
and
interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the
following amounts required to be deposited under this Agreement:
(i) all
payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans, including Principal
Prepayments and Prepayment Charges;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net of the related
Master
Servicing Fee, Prepayment Interest Excess and any lender paid mortgage insurance
premiums;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds, other
than
proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair of a Mortgaged Property
or
released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal
servicing procedures;
(iv) any
amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or the Depositor in
connection with any losses on Permitted Investments for which it is
responsible;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
3.09(c) and in respect of net monthly income from REO Property pursuant to
Section 3.11;
(vi) all
Substitution Adjustment Amounts;
(vii) all
Advances made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01;
and
(viii) any
other amounts required to be deposited under this Agreement.
In
addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a buydown
agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the monthly
payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause funds
to be
deposited into the Certificate Account in an amount required to cause an
amount
of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan equal to the amount
of
interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from the preceding Due Date
at
the Mortgage Rate net of the related Master Servicing Fee.
The
foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption fees,
if
collected, need not be remitted by the Master Servicer. In the event
that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be remitted,
it
may at any time withdraw or direct the institution maintaining the Certificate
Account to withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision
in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or
direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice thereof to the
Trustee or such other institution maintaining the Certificate Account which
describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate
Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate records with
respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds
deposited in the Certificate Account shall be held in trust for the
Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08.
(c) The
Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Holders of the Class
P
Certificates, a Principal Reserve Fund in the name of the Trustee. On
the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deposit into the Principal Reserve
Fund
$100. Funds on deposit in the Principal Reserve Fund shall not be
invested. The Principal Reserve Fund shall be treated as an “outside
reserve fund” under applicable Treasury regulations and shall not be part of any
REMIC created under this Agreement. Amounts on deposit in the
Principal Reserve Fund shall not be invested.
(d) The
Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Certificateholders,
the
Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt,
deposit in the Distribution Account and retain in the Distribution Account
the
following:
(i) the
aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant
to
Section 3.08(a)(ix);
(ii) any
amount deposited by the Master Servicer or the Depositor pursuant to
Section 3.05(e) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments for
which it is responsible; and
(iii) any
other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be deposited in the
Distribution Account.
In
the
event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not required to be
remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw such amount from
the
Distribution Account, any provision in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an
Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in
error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the
Distribution Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the
Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.08. In no event shall the
Trustee incur liability for withdrawals from the Distribution Account at
the
direction of the Master Servicer.
(e) Each
institution at which the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account
is
maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing by the Master
Servicer in Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than (i)
in the
case of the Certificate Account, the second Business Day next preceding the
related Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted
Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such account,
then
such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day next
preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date) and (ii) in the case of
the
Distribution Account, the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date
(except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution
that maintains such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall
mature
not later than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold
or
disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments
shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses realized
from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Certificate Account,
or the
Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer as
servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as provided in
this
Agreement. The amount of any realized losses in the Certificate
Account or the Distribution Account incurred in any such account in respect
of
any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer in
the
Certificate Account or paid to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution
Account, as applicable. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall
not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment
or lack of investment of funds held in the Certificate Account or the
Distribution Account and made in accordance with this Section 3.05.
(f) The
Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, each Seller, each Rating
Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the
Certificate Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall
give notice to the Master Servicer, each Seller, each Rating Agency and the
Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account
or
the Carryover Reserve Fund or any Derivative Account prior to any change
thereof.
(g) On
the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its name, in
trust
for the benefit of the Holders of the LIBOR Certificates, the Carryover Reserve
Fund and shall deposit $1,000 therein upon receipt from or on behalf of the
Depositor of such amount. The Carryover Reserve Fund shall be an
Eligible Account, and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and
apart
from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including without
limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this
Agreement.
Funds
in
the Carryover Reserve Fund may be invested in Permitted Investments at the
direction of a Majority in Interest of the Holders of the Class C Certificates,
which Permitted Investments shall mature not later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the first Distribution Date that follows the date of
such
investment (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of
the
institution that maintains the Carryover Reserve Fund, then such Permitted
Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date) and shall
not be
sold or disposed of prior to maturity. All such Permitted Investments
shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders
of the
Class C Certificates. In the absence of such written direction, all funds
in the
Carryover Reserve Fund shall be invested by the Trustee in The Bank of New
York
cash reserves. Any net investment earnings on such amounts shall be
retained therein until withdrawn as provided in Section 3.08. Any
losses incurred in the Carryover Reserve Fund in respect of any such investments
shall be charged against amounts on deposit in the Carryover Reserve Fund
(or
such investments) immediately as realized. The Trustee shall not be
liable for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or
lack
of investment of funds held in the Carryover Reserve Fund and made in accordance
with this Section 3.05. The Carryover Reserve Fund will not
constitute an asset of any REMIC created hereunder. The Class C
Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Carryover Reserve Fund for federal
tax purposes.
(h) On
the Closing Date, there is hereby established a separate trust (the
“Supplemental Interest Trust”), the assets of which shall consist of the
Derivative Accounts and the Supplemental Interest Trustee’s rights and
obligations under each Derivative Agreement. The Supplemental
Interest Trust shall be maintained by the Supplemental Interest Trustee,
who
initially shall be the Trustee.
On
the
Closing Date, the Supplemental Interest Trustee shall establish and maintain
four separate, segregated trust accounts to be held in the Supplemental Interest
Trust, titled:
(i) “Class
A-1 Swap Account, The Bank of New York, as Supplemental Interest Trustee,
in
trust for the Swap Counterparty and the registered holders of the Class A-1
Certificates of CWALT, Inc., Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2007-HY8C”;
(ii) “Certificate
Swap Account, The Bank of New York, as Supplemental Interest Trustee, in
trust
for the Swap Counterparty and the registered holders of the LIBOR Certificates
of CWALT, Inc., Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2007-HY8C”;
(iii) “Subordinated
Certificate Swap Account, The Bank of New York, as Supplemental Interest
Trustee, in trust for the Swap Counterparty and the registered holders of
the
LIBOR Certificates of CWALT, Inc., Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
2007-HY8C”; and
(iv) “Subordinated
Certificate Corridor Account, The Bank of New York, as Supplemental Interest
Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of the LIBOR Certificates of
CWALT,
Inc., Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-HY8C”.
On
the
Closing Date, the Trustee shall deposit $1,000 in each of the Class A-1 Swap
Account, the Certificate Swap Account, the Subordinated Certificate Swap
Account
and the Subordinated Certificate Corridor Account upon receipt from or on
behalf
of the Depositor of such amounts.
Each
Derivative Account shall be an Eligible Account (for purposes of the definition
of “Eligible Account”, each Derivative Account shall be treated as the
Pre-Funding Account and the Capitalized Interest Account are treated under
that
definition) and funds on deposit therein shall be held separate and apart
from,
and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including, without
limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee or Supplemental Interest Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement. For federal income tax purposes, the
Supplemental Interest Trust, including the Derivative Accounts, shall be
owned
by the Underwriter.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make the deposits to the Class A-1 Swap
Account, the Certificate Swap Account and the Subordinated Certificate Swap
Account required by Section 4.02. On each Distribution Date, the
Supplemental Interest Trustee shall deposit into each Derivative Account
all
amounts received in respect of the related Derivative Agreement from the
related
Counterparty for the related Accrual Period. The Supplemental Interest Trustee
shall make withdrawals from each Derivative Account to make distributions
pursuant to Section 4.02(e) exclusively (other than as expressly provided
for in
Section 3.08). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Supplemental Interest Trustee shall be allowed to transfer
funds
in a Derivative Account to the Trustee to facilitate, for administrative
purposes, distribution of such funds to Certificateholders through the
Distribution Account.
Funds
in
each Derivative Account shall be invested by the Supplemental Interest Trustee
in The Bank of New York cash reserves. All such Permitted Investments
shall be made in the name of the Supplemental Interest Trustee, for the benefit
of the Holders of the related Covered Certificates. Any net
investment earnings on such amounts shall be retained therein until withdrawn
as
provided in Section 3.08. Any losses incurred in a Derivative Account
in respect of any such investments shall be charged against amounts on deposit
in that Derivative Account (or such investments) immediately as
realized. The Supplemental Interest Trustee shall not be liable for
the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of
investment of funds held in a Derivative Account and made in accordance with
this Section 3.05.
The
Supplemental Interest Trust and the Derivative Accounts will not constitute
an
asset of the Trust Fund or any REMIC created hereunder.

SECTION
3.06.
|
Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow
Accounts.
|
(a) To
the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not violative of current
law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts
(each, an “Escrow Account”) and deposit and retain therein all collections from
the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for the payment of taxes,
assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable items for the account
of
the Mortgagors. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Master
Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in violation
of
applicable law.
(b) Withdrawals
of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be made only to effect
timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, condominium
or
PUD association dues, or comparable items, to reimburse the Master Servicer
out
of related collections for any payments made pursuant to Sections 3.01
(with respect to taxes and assessments and insurance premiums) and 3.09 (with
respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined
to
be overages, to pay interest, if required by law or the terms of the related
Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account
or to
clear and terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement
in
accordance with Section 9.01. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a
part of the Trust Fund.
(c) The
Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in Section 3.06(a)
that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when the tax, premium
or
other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the Master Servicer
shall be required so to advance only to the extent that such advances, in
the
good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be recoverable by the Master
Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or
otherwise.
|
SECTION
3.07.
|
Access
to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage
Loans.
|
The
Master Servicer shall afford each Seller, the Depositor, the NIM Insurer
and the
Trustee reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other matters
relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but
only
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office
designated by the Master Servicer.
Upon
reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer will provide to
each
Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner which is a savings and loan
association, bank or insurance company certain reports and reasonable access
to
information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans sufficient to
permit
such Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner to comply with applicable
regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with respect to
investment in the Certificates; provided that the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder and/or Certificate
Owner for actual expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in providing such
reports and access. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish
to the Trustee and the NIM Insurer its most recent publicly available financial
statements and any other information relating to its capacity to perform
its
obligations under this Agreement reasonably requested by the NIM
Insurer.

SECTION
3.09.
|
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary Insurance
Policies.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage Loan, hazard
insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least equal to the
lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such
Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (y) the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan and (z) an amount such that the proceeds of
such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee
from becoming a co-insurer. Each such policy of standard hazard
insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains,
a
standard mortgagee clause. Any amounts collected by the Master
Servicer under any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to
the
restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts released
to
the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer’s normal servicing
procedures) shall be deposited in the Certificate Account. Any cost
incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not,
for
the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders
or
remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be added to the principal balance
of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan
so
permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of
late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of proceeds of liquidation
of the
Mortgage Loan or Subsequent Recoveries to the extent permitted by
Section 3.08. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or
other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained
on
property acquired in respect of a Mortgage other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is
located at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally
designated special flood hazard area and such area is participating in the
national flood insurance program, the Master Servicer shall cause flood
insurance to be maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such
flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the outstanding
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the replacement value
of
the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged Property, and (iii) the
maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property
under the national flood insurance program.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) The
Master Servicer shall not take any action which would result in non-coverage
under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for
the
actions of the Master Servicer, would have been covered
thereunder. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew
any such Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial
issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder
unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed
policy is maintained with a Qualified Insurer.
Except
with respect to any Lender PMI Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall
not be
required to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy (i) with respect to any
Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or equal to 80% as of
any
date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the principal balance
of
such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new appraised value or
(ii) if maintaining such Primary Insurance Policy is prohibited by
applicable law. With respect to the Lender PMI Mortgage Loans, the
Master Servicer shall maintain the Primary Insurance Policy for the life
of such
Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise provided for in the related Mortgage Note
or
prohibited by law.
The
Master Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums on each
Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable shall
be
recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related proceeds of liquidation
and
Subsequent Recoveries.
(d) In
connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans,
the
Master Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies
and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary
to
permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting defaulted
Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under
any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account.

SECTION
3.10.
|
Enforcement
of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
(a) Except
as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property subject to a Mortgage
has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall to the extent
that
it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any due-on-sale clause contained
in
any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under applicable law
and
governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement will
not
adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance
Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer is not
required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person
to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to
be
conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note
and
Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage
Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or
Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the
Master Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale
clause,
or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected,
or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer
is
authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), to take or enter into an assumption
and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property
has
been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable
under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the
Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue
to be covered (if so covered before the Master Servicer enters such agreement)
by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Master Servicer,
subject to Section 3.10(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of
the insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution
of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original
Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor
and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under
this
Section by reason of any transfer or assumption which the Master Servicer
reasonably believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever.
(b) Subject
to the Master Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent
set forth in Section 3.10(a), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property has
been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into
an
assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the Trustee, or if an instrument
of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the Mortgagor from
liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall prepare and deliver
or
cause to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee for signature and shall
direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute the assumption agreement with
the
Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed and such modification
agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or other instruments
as
are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions
or the transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person. In
connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
may
be changed. In addition, the substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged
Property must be acceptable to the Master Servicer in accordance with its
underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with each such
substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered to the
Trustee for execution by it, the Master Servicer shall deliver an Officer’s
Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the requirements of
this
subsection have been met in connection therewith. The Master Servicer
shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement
has
been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such substitution
or
assumption agreement, which in the case of the original shall be added to
the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of
such
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer
for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will
be
retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.

SECTION
3.11.
|
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of Certain Mortgage
Loans.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments. In
connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer
shall
follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable
and
as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities
and
meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend
its
own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of
any
property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or foreclosure
will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan after
reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses will
be
recoverable to it through the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan
and
Subsequent Recoveries (respecting which it shall have priority for purposes
of
withdrawals from the Certificate Account). The Master Servicer shall
be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such
proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement
thereof from the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan and Subsequent
Recoveries with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as provided in
the
definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Master Servicer has
knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer is contemplating
acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within
a 1
mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure Plan for the Hazardous
Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with environmental or
hazardous waste risks known to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer will,
prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take
action in accordance with its established environmental review
procedures.
With
respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken
in
the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or its
nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee’s name
shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee
hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Master Servicer
shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity thereunder. The Master
Servicer shall allow any REO Property that was subject to a lease at the
time of
acquisition through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure to continue
to be
rented pursuant to such lease, but upon the expiration of such lease, the
Master
Servicer shall not take any action to rent the related REO
Property. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the
Master Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master
Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to
such
extent as is customary in the locality where such REO Property is
located. The Master Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the
Trustee a statement with respect to each REO Property that has been rented
showing the aggregate rental income received and all expenses incurred in
connection with the maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is
necessary to enable the Trustee to comply with the reporting requirements
of the
REMIC Provisions. Any net monthly income from such REO Property shall
be deposited in the Certificate Account no later than the close of business
on
each Determination Date. The Master Servicer shall perform the tax
reporting and withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code
with
respect to foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section
6050H of the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from
individuals and any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with
respect to the cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities,
by
preparing such tax and information returns as may be required, in the form
required, and delivering the same to the Trustee for filing.
In
the
event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or
otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage
Loan,
the Master Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property as soon as
practicable in a manner that maximizes the Liquidation Proceeds thereof,
but in
no event later than three years after its acquisition by the Trust
Fund. In the event that the Trustee shall have been supplied with an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such
Mortgaged Property subsequent to a three-year period, if applicable, will
not
result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC
hereunder as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder
to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding,
then the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property (subject
to any
conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) after the expiration of
such
three-year period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be allowed
to
continue to be rented or otherwise used for the production of income by or
on
behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would
(i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure
property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject
any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local income
taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c)
of
the Code or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer has agreed to indemnify
and
hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such
taxes.
In
the
event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor is not
a
United States Person, as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the
Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu
of
foreclosure (together, “foreclosure”) in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that
no
withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such
foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure
are
required to be remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.
The
decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan
shall
be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that the proceeds of
such
foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing such a
proceeding. The income earned from the rental of any REO Properties,
net of reimbursement to the Master Servicer for expenses incurred (including
any
property or other taxes) in connection with such management and net of
unreimbursed Master Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing Advances, shall
be
applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the related defaulted
Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such Mortgage Loans were
still
current) and all such income shall be deemed, for all purposes in this
Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest on the related
Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the Certificate
Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar
month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and
accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan
for
such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial prepayment
of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.
The
proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any income from
an
REO Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first,
to
reimburse the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances
and Master Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the Master Servicer or the
Trustee for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the Certificate
Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that were
previously withdrawn by the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to
Section 3.08(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued
and unpaid interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount
or
any such Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property, at the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in
the
month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as
a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any,
from the liquidation of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by the
Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section
3.14.
The
Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to purchase
for
its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which is 151 days or
more
delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that
the
Master Servicer may only exercise this right on or before the next to the
last
day of the calendar month in which such Mortgage Loan became 151 days delinquent
(such month, the “Eligible Repurchase Month”); provided further, that any such
Mortgage Loan which becomes current but thereafter becomes delinquent may
be
purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section in any ensuing
Eligible Repurchase Month. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan
purchased under this Section 3.11 shall be deposited in the Certificate Account
and the Trustee, upon receipt of a certificate from the Master Servicer in
the
form of Exhibit N to this Agreement, shall release or cause to be released
to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by
the
purchaser of such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, as shall
be
necessary to vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed
to all the Trustee’s right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and
all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be
an assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser of such
Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and
documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders with respect thereto.
(b) Countrywide
is permitted to solicit Mortgagors for reductions to the Mortgage Rates of
their
respective Mortgage Loans so long as the Mortgagors are not selected for
solicitation based on the inclusion of the related Mortgage Loans in the
Trust
Fund. If a Mortgagor requests a reduction to the Mortgage Rate for
the related Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall agree to a reduction
in the
Mortgage Rate of that Mortgage Loan (the “Modified Mortgage Loan”) if (i) no
monetary default exists with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (ii) Countrywide,
in its corporate capacity, agrees to purchase the Modified Mortgage Loan
from
the Trust Fund immediately following the modification as described
below. Effective immediately after the modification, and, in any
event, on the same Business Day on which the modification occurs, all interest
of the Trustee in the Modified Mortgage Loan shall automatically be deemed
transferred and assigned to Countrywide and all benefits and burdens of
ownership thereof, including the right to accrued interest thereon from the
date
of modification and the risk of default thereon, shall pass to
Countrywide. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the
Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer to the effect that all
requirements of this paragraph have been satisfied with respect to the Modified
Mortgage Loan. For federal income tax purposes, the Trustee shall
account for such purchase as a prepayment in full of the Modified Mortgage
Loan.
Countrywide
shall remit the Purchase Price for any Modified Mortgage Loan to the Master
Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05
within one Business Day after the purchase of the Modified Mortgage
Loan. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of any such
deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release to Countrywide
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 Countrywide any Modified Mortgage Loan previously transferred and
assigned pursuant hereto. Countrywide covenants and agrees to
indemnify the Trust Fund against any liability for any “prohibited transaction”
taxes and any related interest, additions, and penalties imposed on the Trust
Fund established hereunder as a result of any modification of a Mortgage
Loan
effected pursuant to this subsection (b), any holding of a Modified Mortgage
Loan by the Trust Fund or any purchase of a Modified Mortgage Loan by
Countrywide (but such obligation shall not prevent Countrywide or any other
appropriate Person from in good faith contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings and shall not prevent Countrywide from withholding payment of
such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
proceedings). Countrywide shall have no right of reimbursement for
any amount paid pursuant to the foregoing indemnification, except to the
extent
that the amount of any tax, interest, and penalties, together with interest
thereon, is refunded to the Trust Fund or Countrywide. Nothing in
this Section 3.11(b) restricts the ability of the Master Servicer to modify
a
Mortgage Loan in a manner that is consistent with the servicing standard
set
forth in Section 3.01; provided, however, that Countrywide shall have no
obligation to purchase any such modified Mortgage Loan.

Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage
Files.
|
Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer
of a
notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately notify the Trustee by
delivering, or causing to be delivered a “Request for Release” substantially in
the form of Exhibit N of this Agreement. Upon receipt of such
request, the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to
the
Master Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the Master Servicer’s direction
execute and deliver to the Master Servicer the request for reconveyance,
deed of
reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing
the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the Master Servicer, together
with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation on the Mortgage
Note. The Master Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the
registration on the MERS® System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and
all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full
release. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of
satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related
Mortgagor. From time to time and as shall be appropriate for the
servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose,
collection under any policy of flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors
or
omissions policy, or for the purposes of effecting a partial release of any
Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage or the making of any
corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or any of the other documents
included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee shall, upon delivery to the Trustee
of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M signed by a Servicing
Officer, release the Mortgage File to the Master Servicer. Subject to
the further limitations set forth below, the Master Servicer shall cause
the
Mortgage File or documents so released to be returned to the Trustee when
the
need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage
Loan
is liquidated and the proceeds thereof are deposited in the Certificate Account,
in which case the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a Request
for
Release in the form of Exhibit N, signed by a Servicing
Officer.
If
the
Master Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding in
respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for signature,
as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other
documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
or
to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or otherwise available at law
or
in equity.

SECTION
3.13.
|
Documents,
Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer to be Held for
the
Trustee.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall transmit
to
the Trustee as required by this Agreement all documents and instruments in
respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the possession of the Master Servicer
from time to time and shall account fully to the Trustee for any funds received
by the Master Servicer or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer
as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect
of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held
by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage
Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or
from
Liquidation Proceeds and any Subsequent Recoveries, including but not limited
to, any funds on deposit in the Certificate Account, shall be held by the
Master
Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole
and
exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of
this
Agreement. The Master Servicer also agrees that it shall not create,
incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the
Certificate Account, Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds
that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment,
levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action
or
otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds
collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that
the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any
such
funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer
under
this Agreement.
|
SECTION
3.14.
|
Servicing
Compensation.
|
As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to retain or withdraw from the Certificate Account an amount equal to the
Master
Servicing Fee; provided, that the aggregate Master Servicing Fee with respect
to
any Distribution Date shall be reduced (i) by an amount equal to the aggregate
of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, with respect to such Distribution
Date, but not by more than the Compensating Interest for that Distribution
Date,
and (ii) with respect to the first Distribution Date, an amount equal to
any
amount to be deposited into the Distribution Account by the Depositor pursuant
to Section 2.01(a) and not so deposited.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of Excess Proceeds, Prepayment Interest
Excess, assumption fees, late payment charges and all income and gain net
of any
losses realized from Permitted Investments on the Certificate Account and
the
Distribution Account shall be retained by the Master Servicer to the extent
not
required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
3.05. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its master servicing activities hereunder
(including payment of any premiums for hazard insurance and any Primary
Insurance Policy and maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage
required by this Agreement) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor
except as specifically provided in this Agreement.

Access
to Certain Documentation.
|
The
Master Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to comparable
regulatory authorities supervising Holders and/or Certificate Owners and
the
examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such other
authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required
by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall
be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request
and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master
Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the
Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of
information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer
to
provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation
shall
not constitute a breach of this Section.

thereof), or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation
in any
material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and

The
Master Servicer shall for so long as it acts as master servicer under this
Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of
insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations
as
Master Servicer hereunder and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its
officers, employees and agents. Each such policy or policies and bond
shall, together, comply with the requirements from time to time of FNMA or
FHLMC

the
date of such replacement.
|
SECTION

notices required by each Mortgage and Mortgage Note and applicable regulations
regarding interest rate adjustments. The Master Servicer also shall
provide timely notification to the Trustee of all applicable data and
information regarding such interest rate adjustments and the Master Servicer’s
methods of implementing such interest rate adjustments. Upon the
discovery by the Master Servicer or the Trustee that the Master Servicer
has
failed to adjust or has incorrectly adjusted a Mortgage Rate or a monthly
payment pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage,
the
Master Servicer shall immediately deposit in the Certificate Account from
its
own funds the amount of any interest loss caused thereby without reimbursement
therefor; provided, however, the Master Servicer shall be held harmless with
respect to any interest rate adjustments made by any servicer prior to the
Master Servicer.

The
Derivative Agreements.
|
No
later
than two Business Days following each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
provide the Supplemental Interest Trustee with information regarding the
Class
Certificate Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates after all distributions
on
such Distribution Date.
Upon
the
Supplemental Interest Trustee obtaining actual knowledge that a Counterparty’s
Threshold (as defined in the applicable ISDA Master Agreement) has been reduced
to zero, the Supplemental Interest Trustee shall (i) demand delivery of the
Delivery Amount (as defined in the applicable ISDA Master Agreement) from
the
applicable Counterparty on each Valuation Date (as defined in the applicable
ISDA Master Agreement), if applicable, (ii) deliver to the applicable
Counterparty the Return Amount (as defined in the applicable ISDA Master
Agreement) on each Valuation Date, if applicable, as well as Distributions
and
the Interest Amount (each as defined in the applicable ISDA Master Agreement),
to the extent required under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement and (iii)
take
such other action required under the applicable ISDA Master
Agreement. If a Delivery Amount is demanded under an ISDA Master
Agreement, the Supplemental Interest Trustee shall open and maintain a
segregated account meeting the requirements set forth in the applicable ISDA
Master Agreement to hold cash and other eligible investments pledged under
such
ISDA Master Agreement. Any cash or other Eligible Collateral (as
defined in the applicable ISDA Master Agreement) pledged under the applicable
ISDA Master Agreement shall not be part of the Distribution Account or any
Derivative Account unless remitted to such accounts by the Supplemental Interest
Trustee. If Eligible Collateral with a Value (as defined in the
applicable ISDA Master Agreement) equal to the Delivery Amount is not delivered
to the Supplemental Interest Trustee by the applicable Counterparty, the
Supplemental Interest Trustee shall notify such Counterparty and Countrywide
of
such failure.
Upon
the
Supplemental Interest Trustee obtaining actual knowledge of an Event of Default
or Termination Event (each as defined in the applicable ISDA Master Agreement)
for which the Supplemental Interest Trustee has the right to designate an
Early
Termination Date (as defined in such ISDA Master Agreement), the Supplemental
Interest Trustee shall act at the written direction of Countrywide as to
whether
to designate an Early Termination Date; provided, however, that, following
such
Event of Default or Termination Event and before designating an Early
Termination Date, the Trustee or the Supplemental Interest Trustee shall
provide
written notice to each Rating Agency. Following the designation of an
Early Termination Date, (i) the Supplemental Interest Trustee shall use its
reasonable best efforts to enforce its rights under such ISDA Master Agreement
consistent with the terms hereof, (ii) Countrywide shall assist the Supplemental
Interest Trustee in procuring a replacement derivative agreement with terms
that
are substantially the same as those of the related original Derivative Agreement
and (iii) the Supplemental Interest Trustee shall request the applicable
Counterparty to assist in procuring a replacement derivative agreement with
terms that are substantially the same as those of the related original
Derivative Agreement.
Any
Swap
Termination Payment received from the Swap Counterparty shall be used to
pay any
upfront amount required under any replacement swap contract and any excess
shall
be distributed to the Underwriter and will not be available to make
distributions in respect of any Class of Certificates. In the event
that a replacement swap contract cannot be procured, any Swap Termination
Payment received from the Swap Counterparty in respect of the termination
of the
original swap contract shall be retained in the related Derivative Account
and
used on subsequent Distribution Dates up to and including the Class A-1 Swap
Contract Termination Date, the Certificate Swap Contract Termination Date
or the
Subordinated Certificate Swap Contract Termination Date, as applicable, to
pay
any amounts distributable to the applicable Classes of Certificates pursuant
to
Sections 4.02(e)(i), 4.02(e)(ii) or 4.02(e)(iii), as applicable, that will
remain unpaid following all distributions to be made on such Distribution
Date
pursuant to Section 4.02(a) through (d). Any portion of such Swap
Termination Payment remaining after the Class A-1 Swap Contract Termination
Date, the Certificate Swap Contract Termination Date or the Subordinated
Certificate Swap Contract Termination Date, as applicable, shall be distributed
to the Underwriter and will not be available to make distributions in respect
of
any Class of Certificates.
In
the
event that the counterparty in respect of a replacement swap contract pays
any
upfront amount to the Supplemental Interest Trustee in connection with entering
into the replacement swap contract and such upfront amount is received by
the
Supplemental Interest Trustee prior to the Distribution Date on which any
Swap
Termination Payment will be payable to the Swap Counterparty in respect of
the
original swap contract, a portion of that upfront amount equal to the lesser
of
(x) that upfront amount and (y) the amount of the Swap Termination Payment
due
to the Swap Counterparty in respect of such original swap contract (the
“Adjusted Replacement Upfront Amount”) shall (i) with respect to the Certificate
Swap Contract and the Subordinated Swap Contract, be included in Interest
Funds
for that Distribution Date and (ii) with respect to the Class A-1 Swap Contract,
be remitted to the Swap Counterparty, and any upfront amount in excess of
the
Adjusted Replacement Upfront Amount shall be distributed to the Underwriter
and
will not be available to make distributions in respect of any Class of
Certificates. If any upfront amount is paid to the Supplemental
Interest Trustee by the counterparty in respect of a replacement swap contract
after the Distribution Date on which any Swap Termination Payment will be
payable to the Swap Counterparty in respect of the original swap contract,
such
upfront amount shall be retained by the Supplemental Interest Trustee in
the
related Derivative Account and used on subsequent Distribution Dates up to
and
including the Class A-1 Swap Contract Termination Date, the Certificate Swap
Contract Termination Date or the Subordinated Certificate Swap Contract
Termination Date, as applicable, to pay any amounts distributable to the
applicable Classes of Certificates pursuant to Sections 4.02(e)(i), 4.02(e)(ii)
or 4.02(e)(iii), as applicable, that will remain unpaid following all
distributions to be made on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.02(a)
through (d).
Any
Corridor Termination Payment received from the Corridor Counterparty shall
be
used to pay any upfront amount required under any replacement corridor contract
and any excess shall be distributed to the Underwriter and will not be available
to make distributions in respect of any Class of Certificates. In the
event that a replacement corridor contract cannot be procured, any Corridor
Termination Payment received from the Corridor Counterparty in respect of
the
termination of the original corridor contract shall be retained in the
Subordinated Certificate Corridor Account and used on subsequent Distribution
Dates up to and including the Subordinated Certificate Corridor Contract
Termination Date to pay any amounts distributable to the applicable Classes
of
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02(e)(iv) that will remain unpaid following
all distributions to be made on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section
4.02(a) through (d), 4.02(e)(i) and 4.02(e)(iii). Any portion of such
Corridor Termination Payment remaining after the Subordinated Certificate
Corridor Contract Termination Date shall be distributed to the Underwriter
and
will not be available to make distributions in respect of any Class of
Certificates.
If
the
obligations of a Counterparty shall become guaranteed pursuant to the guarantee
of any party (whether an affiliate of such Counterparty or otherwise), then
the
Supplemental Interest Trustee shall promptly demand in accordance with the
terms
of the guarantee from such guarantor all amounts payable or deliverable by
such
Counterparty under the applicable Derivative Agreements in the event that
such
Counterparty fails to make timely payment or delivery of such
amounts.
The
Swap
Counterparty shall be an express third party beneficiary of this Agreement
for
the purpose of enforcing the provisions hereof to the extent of the Swap
Counterparty’s rights explicitly specified herein as if a party
hereto.

Prepayment
Charges.
|
(a) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a Principal
Prepayment in full or in part of a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer may
not
waive any Prepayment Charge or portion thereof required by the terms of the
related Mortgage Note unless (i) such Mortgage Loan is in default or the
Master
Servicer believes that such a default is imminent, and the Master Servicer
determines that such waiver would maximize recovery of Liquidation Proceeds
for
such Mortgage Loan, taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge,
or
(ii) (A) the enforceability thereof is limited (1) by bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, receivership, or other similar law relating to creditors’ rights
generally or (2) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or
other
involuntary payment, or (B) the enforceability is otherwise limited or
prohibited by applicable law. In the event of a Principal Prepayment
in full or in part with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
shall
deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit T no later than the third Business Day following the immediately
succeeding Determination Date with a copy to the Class P
Certificateholders. If the Master Servicer has waived or does not
collect all or a portion of a Prepayment Charge relating to a Principal
Prepayment in full or in part due to any action or omission of the Master
Servicer, other than as provided above, the Master Servicer shall deliver
to the
Trustee, together with the Principal Prepayment in full or in part, the amount
of such Prepayment Charge (or such portion thereof as had been waived) for
deposit into the Certificate Account (not later than 1:00 p.m. Pacific time
on
the immediately succeeding Master Servicer Advance Date, in the case of such
Prepayment Charge) for distribution in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(b) Upon
discovery by the Master Servicer or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
of a
breach of the foregoing subsection (a), the party discovering the breach
shall
give prompt written notice to the other parties.
(c) Countrywide
represents and warrants to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing
Date, that the information contained in clauses (xxii), (xxiii) and (xxiv)
of
the Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete and accurate in all material respects
at
the dates as of which the information is furnished and each Prepayment Charge
is
permissible and enforceable in accordance with its terms under applicable
state
law, except as the enforceability thereof is limited due to acceleration
in
connection with a foreclosure or other involuntary payment.
(d) Upon
discovery by the Master Servicer or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
of a
breach of the foregoing clause (c) that materially and adversely affects
right
of the Holders of the Class P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge, the
party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties. Within 60 days of the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer
or
receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of breach, the Master Servicer shall
cure the breach in all material respects or shall pay into the Certificate
Account the amount of the Prepayment Charge that would otherwise be due from
the
Mortgagor, less any amount representing such Prepayment Charge previously
collected and paid by the Master Servicer into the Certificate
Account.

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

Monthly
Statements to Certificateholders.
|
(a) Concurrently
with each distribution on a Distribution Date, the Trustee will forward by
mail
to each Rating Agency and make available to Certificateholders on the Trustee’s
website (xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx) a statement generally setting
forth the information contained in Exhibit U.
(b) The
Trustee’s responsibility for disbursing the above information to the
Certificateholders is limited to the availability, timeliness and accuracy
of
the information provided by the Master Servicer.
(c) 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 Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee (which
delivery may be by electronic data transmission) a report in substantially
the
form set forth as Schedule VI to this Agreement.
(d) Within
a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time during the calendar
year was a Certificateholder, a statement containing the information set
forth
in items (1), (2) and (7) of Exhibit U aggregated for such calendar year
or
applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a
Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee shall be deemed to

SECTION
4.07.
|
Determination
of Pass-Through Rates for COFI
Certificates.
|
The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of COFI Certificates for each Accrual Period
after the initial Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee as provided
below on the basis of the Index and the applicable formulae appearing in
footnotes corresponding to the COFI Certificates in the table relating to
the
Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
Except
as
provided below, with respect to each Accrual Period following the initial
Accrual Period, the Trustee shall not later than two Business Days prior
to such
Accrual Period but following the publication of the applicable Index determine
the Pass-Through Rate at which interest shall accrue in respect of the COFI
Certificates during the related Accrual Period.
Except
as
provided below, the Index to be used in determining the respective Pass-Through
Rates for the COFI Certificates for a particular Accrual Period shall be
COFI
for the second calendar month preceding the Outside Reference Date for such
Accrual Period. If at the Outside Reference Date for any Accrual
Period, COFI for the second calendar month preceding such Outside Reference
Date
has not been published, the Trustee shall use COFI for the third calendar
month
preceding such Outside Reference Date. If COFI for neither the second
nor third calendar months preceding any Outside Reference Date has been
published on or before the related Outside Reference Date, the Index for
such
Accrual Period and for all subsequent Accrual Periods shall be the National
Cost
of Funds Index for the third calendar month preceding such Accrual Period
(or
the fourth preceding calendar month if such National Cost of Funds Index
for the
third preceding calendar month has not been published by such Outside Reference
Date). In the event that the National Cost of Funds Index for neither
the third nor fourth calendar months preceding an Accrual Period has been
published on or before the related Outside Reference Date, then for such
Accrual
Period and for each succeeding Accrual Period, the Index shall be LIBOR,
determined in the manner set forth below.
With
respect to any Accrual Period for which the applicable Index is LIBOR, LIBOR
for
such Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee on the related Interest
Determination Date as provided in Section 4.08.
In
determining LIBOR and any Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates or
any
Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected
in relying upon the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the Reuters
Screen) from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR or
the
Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to
time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to
any Person for (i) the Trustee’s selection of New York City banks for purposes
of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following
a
good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from the Reference
Banks
or the New York City banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided
for in this Section 4.07.
The
establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates
by
the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive
and
binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
|
SECTION
4.08.
|
Determination
of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR
Certificates.
|
(a) On
each Interest Determination Date so long as any LIBOR Certificates are
outstanding, the Trustee will determine LIBOR on the basis of the British
Bankers’ Association (“BBA”) “Interest Settlement Rate” for one-month deposits
in U.S. dollars as quoted on the Bloomberg Terminal as of such Interest
Determination Date.
(b) If
on any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR cannot be determined as provided
in
paragraph (A) of this Section 4.08, the Trustee shall either (i) request
each
Reference Bank to inform the Trustee of the quotation offered by its principal
London office for making one-month United States dollar deposits in leading
banks in the London interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such
Interest Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making any such request, rely on
such Reference Bank quotations that appear at such time on the Reuters Screen
LIBO Page (as defined in the International Swap Dealers Association Inc.
Code of
Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for Swaps, 1986 Edition), to
the
extent available. LIBOR for the next Accrual Period will be
established by the Trustee on each interest Determination Date as
follows:
(i) If
on any Interest Determination Date two or more Reference Banks provide such
offered quotations, LIBOR for the next applicable Accrual Period shall be
the
arithmetic mean of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean
upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
(ii) If
on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of the Reference Banks
provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next Accrual Period shall
be
whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as determined on the previous Interest
Determination Date or (ii) the Reserve Interest Rate. The “Reserve
Interest Rate” shall be the rate per annum which the Trustee determines to be
either (i) the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest
whole multiple of 1/32%) of the one-month United States dollar lending rates
that New York City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting, on the relevant
Interest Determination Date, to the principal London offices of at least
two of
the Reference Banks to which such quotations are, in the opinion of the Trustee,
being so made, or (ii) in the event that the Trustee can determine no such
arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month United States dollar lending rate which
New York City banks selected by the Trustee are quoting on such Interest
Determination Date to leading European banks.
(iii) If
on any Interest Determination Date the Trustee is required but is unable
to
determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner provided in paragraph (b)
above, LIBOR for the related Classes of Certificates shall be LIBOR as
determined on the preceding applicable Interest Determination
Date. If on the initial Interest Determination Date, the Trustee is
required but unable to determine LIBOR in the manner provided above, LIBOR
for
the next Accrual Period will be the Initial LIBOR Rate.
Until
all
of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee will at all times
retain
at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect
to each Interest Determination Date. The Master Servicer initially
shall designate the Reference Banks. Each “Reference Bank” shall be a
leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international
Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common
control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place of business
in
London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable to
act as such or if the Master Servicer should terminate its appointment as
Reference Bank, the Trustee shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed
another Reference Bank. The Trustee shall have no liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank
for
purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four
Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable
control.
(c) The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each Accrual Period
shall be determined by the Trustee on each Interest Determination Date so
long
as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on the basis of LIBOR and the
respective formulae appearing in the definition of Pass-Through
Rate.
In
determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates, any
Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations
(whether written, oral or on the Dow Xxxxx Markets) from the BBA designated
banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR, the Interest
Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from
time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee’s selection of New York City
banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its
inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations
from, the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City
banks
or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section
4.08.
The
establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates
by
the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive
and
binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.

SECTION
4.09.
|
Determination
of MTA.
|
(a) On
each related Interest Determination Date, so long as the MTA Certificates
are
outstanding, the Trustee shall determine MTA on the basis of the most recent
MTA
figure available as of such related Interest Determination Date.
(b) If
on any Interest Determination Date, MTA is no longer available, the Trustee
shall select a new index for the MTA Certificates that is based on comparable
information. When the Trustee selects a new index for the MTA
Certificates, the Pass-Through Margin for each Class of MTA Certificates
will
increase or decrease by the difference between the average MTA for the final
three years it was in effect and the average of the most recent three years
for
the replacement index. The Pass-Through Margin for each Class of MTA
Certificates will be increased by that difference if the average MTA is greater
than the average replacement index, and the Pass-Through Margin for each
Class
of MTA Certificates will be decreased by that difference if the replacement
index is greater than the average MTA.
(c) The
Pass-Through Rate for each Class of MTA Certificates for each Accrual Period
shall be determined by the Trustee on each Interest Determination Date so
long
as the MTA Certificates are outstanding on the basis of MTA and the respective
formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the MTA Certificates in
the
table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
The
determination of MTA and the Pass-Through Rates for the MTA Certificates
by the
Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final, conclusive and
binding upon each Holder of a MTA Certificate and the Trustee

Subject
to Section 9.02 respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on
each
Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each Certificateholder
of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a bank or other
entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such Holder has so
notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the related Record
Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a Notional Amount Certificate, (B)
100%
of the Class Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates or (C)
Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal Denominations of not less
than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such
Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate
Register.
The
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf
of the
Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures
were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the
Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased
to be
so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such Certificates
or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be
valid
for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature,
and
such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence,
and the
only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign
the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any
affiliate of the Depositor.
The
Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a continuous
basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate
transfers.

SECTION
5.02.
|
Certificate
Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.06, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in
which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide
for
the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as provided in this Agreement. Upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the
name
of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the
same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At
the
option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the
same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to
be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied
by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed
by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No
service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration
of
transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to
cover
any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All
Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the
Trustee’s customary procedures.
(b) No
transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
and any
applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements
under said Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a
transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities
Act and
such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such
laws,
the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such
Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each certify to the Trustee in
writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set
forth
in Exhibit J-2 (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (i) deliver a letter
in substantially the form of either Exhibit K (the “Investment Letter”) or
Exhibit L-1 (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (ii) there shall be delivered to
the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such
transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act; provided,
however, that in the case of the delivery of an Investment Letter in connection
with the transfer of any Class C or Class P Certificate to a transferee that
is
formed with the purpose of issuing notes backed by such Class C or Class
P
Certificate, as the case may be, clause (b) and (c) of the form of Investment
Letter shall not be applicable and shall be deleted by such
transferee. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private
Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder,
information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and
such
other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility
set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without
registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration
exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Master
Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A
information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to
the
Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans
and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably
request
to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a
Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor, the Sellers, the NIM Insurer
and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer
is
not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws.
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee
shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of such
Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee
(in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate, such requirement
is
satisfied only by the Trustee’s receipt of a representation letter from the
transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit K or Exhibit L-1, or in the
event such Certificate is a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied
only by the Trustee’s receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that (x) such transferee
is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of
ERISA
or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a person
acting
on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using the assets of any such
plan
or arrangement to effect such transfer or (y) in the case of a Certificate
that
is an ERISA-Restricted Certificate and that has been the subject of an
ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, if the purchaser is an insurance company,
a
representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing
such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account”
(as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of
such Certificates satisfy the requirements for exemptive relief under Sections
I
and III of PTCE 95-60 or (ii) in the case of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan or
arrangement subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section
4975 of
the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee
or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, or
using
such plan’s or arrangement’s assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the
Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee,
the
Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee and the Master
Servicer to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA-Restricted
Certificate will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under
Section
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee
or the
Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken
in
this Agreement or to any liability (such Opinion of Counsel, a “Benefit Plan
Opinion”). For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Residual Certificate, in the event
the representation letter or Benefit Plan Opinion referred to in the preceding
sentence is not so furnished, one of the representations in clause (i), as
appropriate, shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the
transferee’s (including an initial acquiror’s) acceptance of the
ERISA-Restricted Certificate. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary in this Agreement, any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan or other plan or
arrangement subject to ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code without the delivery
to the Trustee of a Benefit Plan Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
as described above shall be void and of no effect.
So
long
as the Class A-1 Swap Account, the Certificate Swap Account, the Subordinated
Certificate Swap Account or the Subordinated Certificates Corridor Account,
as
applicable, has not been terminated, no transfer of any related Covered
Certificate (other than a transfer of a Covered Certificate to an affiliate
of
the Depositor (either directly or through a nominee) in connection with the
initial issuance of the Certificates) shall be made unless the Trustee shall
have received a representation letter from the transferee of any such Covered
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 to the effect that (i)
such
transferee is not a Plan, or (ii) that the purchase and holding of the Covered
Certificate satisfies the requirements for exemptive relief under XXXX 00-00,
XXXX 00-0, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 96-23, the service provider exemption
provided under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the
Code
or a similar exemption. In the event that such a representation
letter is not delivered, one of the foregoing representations, as appropriate,
shall be deemed to have been made by the transferee’s (including an initial
acquiror’s) acceptance of the Covered Certificate. In the event that
such representation is violated, such transfer or acquisition shall be void
and
of no effect.
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA),
the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration
of
transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by
this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to
the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the
provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the
Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(c) Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of
any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) Except
in connection with (i) the registration of the Tax Matters Person Certificate
in
the name of the Trustee or (ii) any registration in the name of, or transfer
of
a Residual Certificate to, an affiliate of the Depositor (either directly
or
through a nominee) in connection with the initial issuance of the Certificates,
no Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the
Closing
Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer
of any Residual Certificate unless the Trustee shall have been furnished
with an
affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the proposed
transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(iii) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom
such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom
such
Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer
of
a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in
a
Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that
such
Person is not a Permitted Transferee and to provide to the Trustee a certificate
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1 (the “Residual
Transferor Certificate”) stating that it has no knowledge that such Person is
not a Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any
attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall
be
absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported
Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c),
then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights
as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such
Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any
Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is
in
fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making
any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement
so
long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer
Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the
Investment Letter, if required. The Trustee shall be entitled but not
obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in
fact
not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent
time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on
such
Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments
so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to
the
last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) The
Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written
request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed
under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted
Transferee.
The
restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section
5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on
a
Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring
after
delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel
shall
not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or
any
Seller, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not
cause
any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the
Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the
Trust
Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents
to
any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished
to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record
ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not
transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a
Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
(d) The
preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above
in
this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of
the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except
as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain
registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times:
(i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee
except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry
records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership
and
transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of
registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository
shall
be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the
Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses
from
its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the
Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as
representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates
for
purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests
and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed
to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners;
and
(vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to
indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All
transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made
in
accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or
brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository
Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners
it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance
with
the Depository’s normal procedures.
If
(x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor or (y) after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the
Certificate Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee
and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in
the
best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such
event
and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the
“Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners requesting the
same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of
Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the
Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the
Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and
each
may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
instructions. The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an
adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer
of
Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates
all references in this Agreement to obligations imposed upon or to be performed
by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the
Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates
and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates
as
Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not by virtue
of
its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act
or
failure to act of the Depository.

Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
|
If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any
Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of
them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance
of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
fees
and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete
and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether
or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.

whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the NIM Insurer, the Trustee
nor
any agent of the Master Servicer, the NIM Insurer or the Trustee shall be

If
three
or more Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners (a) request such
information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders
and/or Certificate Owners desire to communicate with other Certificateholders
and/or Certificate Owners with respect to their rights under this Agreement
or
under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication which

|
None
of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIM Insurer or any Seller or any
of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the NIM Insurer or any Seller shall be under any liability to the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking
of any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Seller or any such Person against any
breach
of representations or warranties made by it in this Agreement or protect
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Seller or any such Person from any liability
which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful misfeasance, bad faith
or
gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard
of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the NIM Insurer, each Seller and any director, officer, employee
or
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIM Insurer or each
Seller may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
primafacie properly executed and submitted by any Person

or any
Seller shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any

judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal
action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss,
liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans

pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance

provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the NIM Insurer or any Seller may in its discretion undertake any such action
that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and
the
rights and duties of the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and
the
Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and
costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses,
costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer,

Limitation
on Resignation of Master Servicer.
|
The
Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor servicer that is
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the NIM Insurer and the written
confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be furnished
to
the Depositor, the Trustee and the NIM Insurer) that such resignation will
not
cause such Rating Agency to reduce the then-current rating of the Certificates
or (b) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law. Any such determination under
clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
Trustee. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective

arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations under
this
Agreement and the Depositor shall have received the information described
in the

DEFAULT
|
SECTION
7.01.
|
Events
of Default.
|
“Event
of
Default,” wherever used in this Agreement, means any one of the following
events:
(i) any
failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the Certificate Account or remit
to
the Trustee any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement,
which failure shall continue unremedied for five days after the date upon
which
written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer
by
the Trustee, the NIM Insurer or the Depositor or to the Master Servicer,
the NIM
Insurer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having not less than
25%
of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or
(ii) any
failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in any material respect
any
other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer
contained in this Agreement (except with respect to a failure related to
a
Limited Exchange Act Reporting Obligation), which failure materially affects
the
rights of Certificateholders, that failure continues unremedied for a period
of
60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have
been
given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee, the NIM Insurer or the Depositor,
or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the
Certificates; provided, however, that the sixty day cure period shall
not apply to the initial delivery of the Mortgage File for Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loans nor the failure to substitute or repurchase in lieu of delivery;
or
(iii) a
decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator
in
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities
or
similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs,
shall
have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall
have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive
days; or
(iv) the
Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator
in
any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities
or
similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or all or
substantially all of the property of the Master Servicer; or
(v) the
Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally
as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of, or commence a
voluntary case under, any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute,
make
an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment
of its obligations; or
(vi) the
Master Servicer shall fail to reimburse in full the Trustee within five days
of
the Master Servicer Advance Date for any Advance made by the Trustee pursuant
to
Section 4.01(b) together with accrued and unpaid interest.
If
an
Event of Default described in clauses (i) to (vi) of this Section shall occur,
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been remedied, the Trustee may, or, if an Event of Default described
in
clauses (i) to (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every
such
case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, at the
direction of either the NIM Insurer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing
not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights, evidenced by the Certificates;
the
Trustee shall by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (with a copy to
each
Rating Agency and the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and obligations
of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans
and
the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder. In addition, if during the period that the Depositor is
required to file Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Trust Fund, the
Master
Servicer shall fail to observe or perform any of the obligations that constitute
a Limited Exchange Act Reporting Obligation or the obligations set forth
in
Section 3.16(a) or Section 11.07(a)(1) and (2), and such failure continues
for
the lesser of 10 calendar days or such period in which the applicable Exchange
Act Report can be filed timely (without taking into account any extensions),
so
long as such failure shall not have been remedied, the Trustee shall, but
only
at the direction of the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans
and
the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder. The Depositor shall not be entitled to terminate the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer if a failure of the Master
Servicer to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing function”
within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely
to the
role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other
than the Mortgage Loans.
On
and
after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority
and power of the Master Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage
Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. The
Trustee shall thereupon make any Advance which the Master Servicer failed
to
make subject to Section 4.01 hereof whether or not the obligations of the
Master
Servicer have been terminated pursuant to this Section. The Trustee
is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents
and
other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary
or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether
to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans
and
related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such
written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Master
Servicer to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The Master
Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination
of
the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without
limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which shall at
the
time be credited to the Certificate Account, or thereafter be received with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding
any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled
Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating
such
Master Servicer’s rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and
received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Master Servicer
would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.08(a)(i) through (viii),
and any other amounts payable to such Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement
to which arose prior to the termination of its activities under this
Agreement.
If
the
Master Servicer is terminated, the Trustee shall provide the Depositor in
writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor,
all
information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with
its
reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a successor
master servicer in the event the Trustee should succeed to the duties of
the
Master Servicer as set forth herein.

SECTION
7.02.
|
Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor.
|
On
and
after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant
to
Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in
Section 3.04, be the successor to the Master Servicer in its capacity as
master servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided
for in this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms
and
provisions of this Agreement and applicable law including the obligation
to make
Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the
Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans that
the
Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Certificate Account
or
Distribution Account if the Master Servicer had continued to act
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become
the successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01, the
Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited
by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 or if it is
otherwise unable to so act, (i) appoint any established mortgage loan servicing
institution reasonably acceptable to the NIM Insurer (as evidenced by the
prior
written consent of the NIM Insurer), or (ii) if it is unable for 60 days
to
appoint a successor servicer reasonably acceptable to the NIM Insurer, petition
a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established mortgage loan
servicing institution, the appointment of which does not adversely affect
the
then-current rating of the Certificates and the NIM Insurer guaranteed notes
(without giving any effect to any policy or guaranty provided by the NIM
Insurer) by each Rating Agency as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder
in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or
liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the
Master Servicer shall be an institution which is a FNMA and FHLMC approved
seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $15,000,000,
and which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and (i) executes and delivers
to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and
assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer
(other than liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section 6.03 incurred
prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section 7.01), with like
effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided
further
that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates
in
effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified
or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation and (ii) provides
to
the Depositor in writing, fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of
such
appointment and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor,
all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply
with
its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a
replacement master servicer. The Trustee shall provide written notice
to the Depositor of such successor pursuant to this Section. Pending
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee,
unless
the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section
3.04,
act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and
such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall
be in
excess of the Master Servicing Fee permitted to be paid to the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action,
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master
servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure
to
make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof
or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or
responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master
Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing,
any
cash, information, documents or records to it.
Any
successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall give notice to
the NIM
Insurer and the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the
term
of its service as master servicer maintain in force the policy or policies
that
the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to
Section 3.09.
In
connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder,
either (i) the successor Master Servicer, including the Trustee if the
Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent and warrant
that
it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all
material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with
the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or (ii) the
predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer
either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage
in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to
execute
and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be
necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing
of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Master Servicer or
(y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS® System the successor Master
Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan. The predecessor
Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment in the
appropriate recording office. The successor Master Servicer shall
cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee promptly upon receipt
of
the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by the
public recording office in which such assignment was recorded.

Notification
to Certificateholders.

(a) Upon
any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer,
the
Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and
to
each Rating Agency.
(b) Within
60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall transmit
by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such Event of Default hereunder
known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured
or
waived.

The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing
of
all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform
such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains
uncured, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested

The

reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee
that
are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required
by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not
be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate,
statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act
or its
own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) unless
an Event of Default known to the Trustee shall have occurred and be continuing,
the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except
for
the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth
in
this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to
the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming
to the
requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine
and
to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters
arising hereunder;
(ii) the
Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by
a
Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall
be
finally proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent

omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction
of
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
of
Certificates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; and
(iv) without
in any way limiting the provisions of this Section 8.01 or Section 8.02,
the
Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the information delivered
to
it by the Master Servicer in a Trustee Advance Notice in determining whether
it
is required to make an Advance under Section 4.01(b), shall have no
responsibility to ascertain or confirm any information contained in any Trustee
Advance Notice, and shall have no obligation to make any Advance under Section
4.01(b) in the absence of a Trustee Advance Notice or actual knowledge of
a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee that (A) an Advance was not made by the
Master Servicer and (B) such Advance is not a Nonrecoverable
Advance.
The
Trustee hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that, except as
permitted by Article IX hereof, it shall not cause the Trust Fund to consolidate

Trustee’s
Fees and Expenses.
|
The
Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled
to
withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date an amount
equal
to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date. The Trustee and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified
by the
Master Servicer and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense
(including reasonable attorney’s fees) (i) incurred in connection with any claim
or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates or (c)
in
connection with the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder, other

hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee taken at the
direction of the Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any error in
any tax

Servicer covenants and agrees, except as otherwise agreed upon in writing
by the
Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such expense, disbursement
or
advance as may arise from the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses,

Eligibility
Requirements for Trustee.
|
The
Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized
and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which
would
not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce or withdraw their respective
then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such security
from
time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as evidenced in writing
by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of
this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or
association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
of
this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and
with
the effect specified in Section 8.07. The entity serving as Trustee
may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its
affiliates or the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided,
however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Master Servicer
other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Master
Servicer.

SECTION
8.07.
|
Resignation
and Removal of Trustee.
|
The
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created
by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in
such
notice when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect,
and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.08
meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no
successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed
and
have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice
or
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
As
a
condition to the effectiveness of any such resignation, at least 15 calendar
days prior to the effective date of such resignation, the Trustee shall provide
(x) written notice to the Depositor of any successor pursuant to this Section
and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order
to
comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect
to
the resignation of the Trustee.
If
at any
time (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written
request
thereto by the NIM Insurer or the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, (iii)
a
tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee
or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided
by
the appointment of a different trustee, or (iv) during the period that the
Depositor is required to file Exchange Act Reports with respect to the Trust
Fund, the Trustee fails to comply with its obligations under the last sentence
of Section 7.01, in the preceding paragraph, Section 8.09 or Article XI and
such
failure is not remedied within the lesser of 10 calendar days or such period
in
which the applicable Exchange Act Report can be filed timely (without taking
into account any extensions), then, in the case of clauses (i) through (iii),
the Depositor, the NIM Insurer or the Master Servicer, and in the case of
clause
(iv), the Depositor, may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee,
reasonably acceptable to the NIM Insurer, by written instrument, in triplicate,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy
of
which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, one copy of which shall
be
delivered to the NIM Insurer and one copy of which shall be delivered to
the
successor trustee.
The
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may
at any
time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument
or
instruments signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized,
one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered by the successor
Trustee to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed,
one
complete set to the NIM Insurer and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to
each Rating Agency by the successor trustee.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided
in
Section 8.08.

|
Successor
Trustee.
|
Any
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and
the
Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective
and
such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of
its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
in
this Agreement. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee
shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming
in
the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and
obligations.
No
successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08
unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible
under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, is reasonably acceptable to
the NIM
Insurer, its appointment shall not adversely affect the then -current ratings
of
the Certificates and has provided to the Depositor in writing and in form
and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably
requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation
under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a replacement Trustee.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to the NIM Insurer and all Holders of
Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.

|
Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it
may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee
hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 8.06 without the execution or filing of any paper or further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything in this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding.
As
a
condition to the effectiveness of any merger or consolidation, at least 15
calendar days prior to the effective date of any merger or consolidation
of the
Trustee, the Trustee shall provide (x) written notice to the Depositor of
any
successor pursuant to this Section and (y) in writing and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested
by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item

SECTION
8.10.
|
Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust
Fund
or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute
and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the
Trustee and reasonably acceptable to the NIM Insurer to act as co-trustee
or
co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees,
of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons,
in
such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to
the
Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to
the
other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations,
rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary
or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so,
or in
the case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee
alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as
a successor trustee under Section 8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders
of
the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 8.08.
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) To
the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all
rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee,
except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance
funds
on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is
not
authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except
to
the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act or
acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to
the
Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified
to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund
or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction
of
the Trustee;
(ii) No
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and
shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee
as
agent of the Trustee;
(iii) The
Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
trustee
or co-trustee; and
(iv) The
Master Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the payment of
reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any such separate
trustee or co-trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to
have
been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as
effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing
any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and
co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested
with
the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject
to
all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision
of
this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or
affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be
filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer and
the
Depositor.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by
the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or
successor trustee.

Tax
Matters.
|
It
is
intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election is to be
made,
as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the
conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such
assets as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such
intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and
the
Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC
and
that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be
prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment
Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the
Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and
filed
with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities
income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to any
such
REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as
may be
required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and
furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements
or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby;
(b)
within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished
to the
Internal Revenue Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by
the
Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the
holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto,
together with such additional information as may be required by such Form,
and
update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the
Code;
(c) make or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC
on
the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under
applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and
forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service
and, if
necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as
and
when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions,
including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount
using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the
computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a
Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee
or
other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity
in
which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the
reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged
to
the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its
control conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any
Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status as a REMIC under
the
REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit
to
take any action that would cause the termination of the tax status of any
REMIC;
(h) pay, from the sources specified in the third paragraph of this Section
8.11,
the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction
taxes
as described below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination when
and
as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent
the
Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from withholding
payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information
returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may be required
to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules;
(j) maintain records relating to any such REMIC, including but not limited
to
the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the fair market
value
and adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required
by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules,
statements or information; and (k) as and when necessary and appropriate,
represent any such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating
to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request
an
administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter
into
settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute
of
limitations relating to any tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act
on
behalf of any such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving
it.
In
order
to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth in this Agreement,
the
Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee within ten
(10)
days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Trustee requests
in
writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations
and
offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price,
yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates
and
the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the
Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information
or data that the Trustee may, from time to time, reasonably request in order
to
enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth in this
Agreement. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any
losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from
any
errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of
the
Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or
data
to the Trustee on a timely basis.
In
the
event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC
hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from
foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code,
on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder after the Startup Day pursuant
to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including, without
limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC hereunder pursuant to
Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if
not
paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the
Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by
the
Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Master
Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises out
of or
results from a breach by the Master Servicer or a Seller of any of their
obligations under this Agreement, (iii) any Seller, if any such tax arises
out
of or results from that Seller’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the event
that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any Seller fails to honor its
obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(ii) or (iii), any such tax will
be
paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders,
as
provided in Section 3.08(b).
The
Trustee shall treat the Carryover Reserve Fund and the Supplemental Interest
Trust, including each Derivative Account, as an outside reserve fund within
the
meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h), none of which is an asset of
any
REMIC created hereunder. The Carryover Reserve Fund shall be treated
as owned by the Holders of the Class C Certificates, and the Supplemental
Interest Trust, including the Derivative Accounts, shall be treated as owned
by
the Underwriter. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Holders of
the LIBOR Certificates and the Class C Certificates to receive payments from
the
Carryover Reserve Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust, including the
Derivative Accounts, as applicable, as rights and obligations with respect
to
notional principal contracts written by (i) the Holders of the Class C
Certificates in respect of any Net Rate Carryover distributed pursuant to
Section 4.02(c)(6) herein and (ii) each Counterparty in respect of any Net
Rate
Carryover funded by the related Derivative Agreement and in respect of any
residual payments from such Derivative Agreement received by the
Underwriter. Thus, the LIBOR Certificates and the Class C
Certificates shall be treated as representing ownership of Master REMIC regular
interests coupled with contractual rights and obligations within the meaning
of
Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(i). For purposes of determining the
issue price of the various Master REMIC regular interests, the Trustee (i)
shall
treat the $1,325,000 upfront amount received by the Underwriter from the
Swap
Counterparty in connection with the execution of the Certificate Swap Contract
as an additional amount paid by the Holders of the Class C Certificates for
the
Master REMIC regular interests, (ii) shall assume that the Class A-1 Swap
Contract was acquired at market, (iii) shall treat the $170,000
upfront amount received by the Underwriter from the Swap Counterparty in
connection with the execution of the Subordinated Certificate Swap Contract
as
an additional amount paid by the Holders of the Class C Certificates for
the
Master REMIC regular interests and (iv) shall assume that the Subordinated
Certificate Corridor Contract has a value of $167,000. The Trustee
shall treat any amount payable to a Class C Certificateholder as first deposited
in the Carryover Reserve Fund. In addition, to the extent the
interest otherwise payable to a Certificateholder is reduced for amounts
payable
with respect to a swap contract, the Trustee, for federal income tax purposes,
shall treat the amount of such reduction as first payable to the
Certificateholder as interest and as then payable by the Certificateholder
with
respect to a notional principal contract. To the extent the amount
payable with respect to such swap contract exceeds the aggregate of the
reductions described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee,
for
federal income tax purposes, shall treat such excess as Realized Losses from
Mortgage Loans and to the extent such Realized Losses (if they had occurred)
would be allocated to a Certificateholder, the Trustee shall treat such amount
as first payable to the Certificateholder as principal and as then payable
by
the Certificateholder with respect to a notional principal
contract.
Solely
for income tax purposes, any differences in the distributions to a
Certificateholder (positive or negative) that would result from the application
of the Strip REMIC Cap rather than the applicable Net Rate Cap shall be treated
by the Trustee as reconciled among the Certificates by swap payments made
pursuant to notional principal contracts entered into among the
Certificateholders.
|
SECTION
8.12.
|
Monitoring
of Significance Percentage.
|
With
respect to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall calculate the “significance
percentage” (as defined in Item 1115 of Regulation AB) of each derivative
instrument, if any, based on the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the
related Classes of Covered Certificates for such derivative instrument and
Distribution Date (after all distributions to be made thereon on such
Distribution Date) and based on the methodology provided in writing by or
on
behalf of Countrywide no later than the fifth Business Day preceding such
Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall
provide to Countrywide a written report (which written report may include
similar information with respect to other derivative instruments relating
to
securitization transactions sponsored by Countrywide) specifying the
“significance percentage” of each derivative instrument, if any, for that
Distribution Date. If the “significance percentage” of any derivative
instrument exceeds 7.0% with respect to any Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall
make a separate notation thereof in the written report described in the
preceding sentence. Such written report may contain such assumptions
and disclaimers as are deemed necessary and appropriate by the
Trustee.

to the
Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Master
Servicer or NIM Insurer (the party exercising such purchase option, the

is
the NIM Insurer, any unreimbursed Servicing Advances, and the principal portion
of any unreimbursed Advances, made on the Mortgage Loans prior to the exercise
of such repurchase and (vi) any amounts payable to the Swap
Counterparty, including any Swap Termination Payment payable to the Swap
Counterparty as a result of the early termination of the Certificate Swap
Contract or the Subordinated Certificate Swap Contract (including any Swap
Termination Payment resulting from the termination of the Trust Fund pursuant
to
this Section 9.01 and determined in accordance with Part 5(c)(vii) of the

The
right
to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties by the Terminator pursuant
to
clause (a) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be conditioned upon
(1)
the Pool Stated Principal Balance, at the time of any such repurchase, is
less
than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance

any
NIM Insurer guaranteed notes that is sufficient (x) to pay such notes in
full
and (y) to pay any amounts due and payable to the NIM Insurer pursuant to
the
indenture related to such notes. The preceding notwithstanding, on
any Distribution Date on which each of the Master Servicer and the NIM Insurer
shall have the option to purchase all the Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties)
remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01, the NIM Insurer’s
purchase option shall require the prior written consent of the Master
Servicer.
The
Supplemental Interest Trust shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the
termination of the last remaining Derivative Account and (ii) the termination
of
this Agreement.

Final
Distribution on the Certificates.
|
If
on any
Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding
Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than
the
funds in the Certificate Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee
promptly to send a final distribution notice to each
Certificateholder. If the Terminator elects to terminate the Trust
Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior to
the date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the
Terminator shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Master
Servicer intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase
price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Notice
of
any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by
letter
to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day and
no later
than the 15th
day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution
Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated,
(b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the
office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and
(d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is
not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender
of
the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Terminator will
give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to
the
affected Certificateholders.
In
the
event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all funds in
the
Certificate Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account on or before the Business Day prior to the applicable
Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect
of the
Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund
and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee
shall promptly release to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for the
Mortgage Loans.
Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to
be
distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in each case on the
final
Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 4.02, in proportion
to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders
of
the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular
Certificates, the Certificate Balance thereof plus accrued interest thereon
(or
on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of an interest bearing
Certificate and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any,
which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts
retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i)
above. Notwithstanding the reduction of the Class Certificate Balance
of any Class of Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding hereunder
(solely for the purpose of receiving distributions and not for any other
purpose) until the termination of the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, each Seller, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article IX.
In
the

not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate

Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain a part
of
the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation then, the
Class A-R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and

arising hereunder or (vii) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any

or the
Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder; provided, however, that the amendment shall be deemed
not to
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders
if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating
Agency
stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal
of
the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood
and agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a
determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent
a
determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such
rating. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment that
significantly changes the permitted activities of the trust created by this
Agreement may be made without the consent of a Majority in Interest of each
Class of Certificates affected by such amendment. Each party to this
Agreement hereby agrees that it will cooperate with each other party in amending
this Agreement pursuant to clause (v) above. The Trustee, each
Seller, the Depositor and the Master Servicer also may at any time and from
time
to time amend this Agreement without the consent of the Certificateholders
to
modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall
be
necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of any REMIC as a
REMIC
under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any
tax on
any REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to
the
final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements
of the Code, provided that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel,
which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but
in
any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the
effect
that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain
such
qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such
a tax
or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.
This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, each Seller,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a
Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any
of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights
of
the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of,
payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent
of
the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other
than
as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of
such
Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66-2/3%
or
(iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which
are
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders
of
all such Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, no amendment shall adversely affect
in
any material respect the Swap Counterparty without the prior written consent
of
the Swap Counterparty, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Countrywide shall provide the Swap Counterparty with prior
written notice of any proposed material amendment of this
Agreement.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to
any
amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion
of
Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Fund,
to the effect that such amendment will not cause the imposition of any tax
on
any REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify
as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly
after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent
of
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the
substance or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the Swap
Counterparty and each Rating Agency.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section
to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of
the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing
in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without
receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of
the
Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such
amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all
requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and
(ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the
conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not
required to be reached pursuant to this Section 10.01.

THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED

|
SECTION
10.04.
|
Intention
of Parties.
|
(a) It
is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the (i)
of
the Mortgage Loans by the Sellers to the Depositor and (ii) Trust Fund by
the
Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof
to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that
such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event
that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to
be the
property of any Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, or if for any
other
reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in
either
such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security
agreement (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State
of New
York) with respect to all such assets and security interests and (ii) the
conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment
and a grant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (i) by each Seller to
the
Depositor or (ii) by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Swap Counterparty, of a security interest in all
of
the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired.
Each
Seller and the Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
Swap
Counterparty shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed
to
create a security interest in the Trust Fund, such security interest would
be
deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable
law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the
Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform
Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security interest
granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and
the Swap Counterparty.
(b) The
Depositor hereby represents that:
(i) This
Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in
the
Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York (the “NY UCC”)) in
the Mortgage Notes in favor of the Trustee, which security interest is prior
to
all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
purchasers from the Depositor.
(ii) The
Mortgage Notes constitutes “instruments” within the meaning of the NY
UCC.
(iii) Immediately
prior to the assignment of each Mortgage Loan to the Trustee, the Depositor
owns
and has good and marketable title to such Mortgage Loan free and clear of
any
lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.
(iv) The
Depositor has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of
the
Mortgage Loans to the sale of the Mortgage Loans hereunder to the
Trustee.
(v) All
original executed copies of each Mortgage Note that are required to be delivered
to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 have been delivered to the
Trustee.
(vi) Other
than the security interest granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement,
the Depositor has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest
in,
or otherwise conveyed any of the Mortgage Loans. The Depositor has
not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements
against the Depositor that include a description of collateral covering the
Mortgage Loans other than any financing statement relating to the security
interest granted to the Trustee hereunder or that has been
terminated. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment or tax lien
filings against the Depositor.
The
parties to this Agreement shall not waive any of the representations set
forth
in this Section 10.04(b) without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current
ratings of the Certificates.
(c) The
Master Servicer shall take such action as is reasonably necessary to maintain
the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Trustee in the
Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that the obligation to deliver the Mortgage
File to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be solely the Depositor’s
obligation and the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for the safekeeping
of the Mortgage Files by the Trustee.
(d) It
is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in
subsection (b) above shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach
of any of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in subsection
(b) above, which breach materially and adversely affects the interest of
the
Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.

(1) Each
of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and
the
Master Servicer a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the

assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately

signed by an authorized officer of such Person and shall address each of

taken as a whole involving such Person and that are backed by the same asset
type backing the Certificates, such report shall include such a statement
to
that effect. The Depositor and the Master Servicer, and each of their
respective officers and directors shall be entitled to rely on upon each
such
servicing criteria assessment.
(2) Each
of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and
the
Master Servicer a report of a registered public accounting firm reasonably
acceptable to the Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment
of
compliance made by Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, and delivered

Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation that in
the
event that an overall opinion cannot be expressed, such registered public
accounting firm shall state in such report why it was unable to express such
an
opinion. Such report must be available for general use and not
contain restricted use language. To the extent any of the Servicing
Criteria are not applicable to such Person, with respect to asset-backed
securities transactions taken as a whole involving such Person and that are
backed by the same asset type backing the Certificates, such report shall
include such a statement that that effect.
(3) The
Master Servicer shall cause each Subservicer and each Reporting Subcontractor
to
deliver to the Depositor an assessment of compliance and accountant’s
attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section
11.07.
(4) The
Trustee shall cause each Reporting Subcontractor to deliver to the Depositor
and
the Master Servicer an assessment of compliance and accountant’s attestation as
and when provided in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section.
(5) The
Master Servicer and the Trustee shall execute (and the Master Servicer shall
cause each Subservicer to execute, and the Master Servicer and the Trustee

and
(iii) accountant’s report provided pursuant to this Section 11.07 and shall
include a certification that each such annual compliance statement or report

Subservicer, the Trustee or Reporting Subcontractor is terminated or resigns
during the term of this Agreement, such Person shall provide a certification
to
the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 11.07 with respect to the
period
of time it was subject to this Agreement or provided services with respect
to
the Trust Fund, the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.
(b) In
the event the Master Servicer, any Subservicer, the Trustee or Reporting
Subcontractor is terminated or resigns during the term of this Agreement,
such
Person shall provide documents and information required by this Section 11.07
with respect to the period of time it was subject to this Agreement or provided
services with respect to the Trust Fund, the Certificates or the Mortgage
Loans.
(c) Each
assessment of compliance provided by a Subservicer pursuant to Section
11.07(a)(3) shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit W hereto delivered to
the
Depositor concurrently with the execution of this Agreement or, in the case
of a
Subservicer subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to the date of such
appointment. An assessment of compliance provided by a Subcontractor
pursuant to Section 11.07(a)(3) or (4) need not address any elements of the
Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to Section 11.07(a)(1).

Use
of Subservicers and Subcontractors.

(a) The
Master Servicer shall cause any Subservicer used by the Master Servicer (or

of Section 3.16 and this Article XI to the same extent as if such Subservicer
were the Master Servicer (except with respect to the Master Servicer’s duties
with respect to preparing and filing any Exchange Act Reports or as the
Certifying Person). The Master Servicer shall be responsible for
obtaining from each Subservicer and delivering to the Depositor any servicer

may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor
to
any Subservicer, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Depositor, at least

information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with
its
reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K.
(b) It
shall not be necessary for the Master Servicer, any Subservicer or the Trustee
to seek the consent of the Depositor or any other party hereto to the
utilization of any Subcontractor. The Master Servicer or the Trustee,
as applicable, shall promptly upon request provide to the Depositor (or any
designee of the Depositor, such as the Master Servicer or administrator)
a
written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor)
of the
role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Person (or in the
case
of the Master Servicer or any Subservicer), specifying (i) the identity of
each
such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be
addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified
pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.
As
a
condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a Reporting
Subcontractor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall cause
any such Subcontractor used by such Person (or in the case of the Master
Servicer or any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor to comply with
the
provisions of Sections 11.07 and 11.09 of this Agreement to the same extent
as
if such Subcontractor were the Master Servicer (except with respect
to the Master Servicer’s duties with respect to preparing and filing any
Exchange Act Reports or as the Certifying Person) or the Trustee, as
applicable. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall
be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and delivering to the
Depositor and the Master Servicer, any assessment of compliance and attestation
required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 11.05 and Section
11.07, in each case as and when required to be delivered.

SECTION
11.09.

Amendments.

In
the
event the parties to this Agreement desire to further clarify or amend any
provision of this Article XI, this Agreement shall be amended to reflect
the new
agreement between the parties covering matters in this Article XI pursuant
to
Section 10.01, which amendment shall not require any Opinion of Counsel or
Rating Agency confirmations or the consent of any Certificateholder or the
NIM
Insurer. If, during the period that the Depositor is required to file Exchange
Act Reports with respect to the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer is no longer
an
Affiliate of the Depositor, the Depositor shall assume the obligations and
responsibilities of the Master Servicer in this Article XI with respect to
the
preparation and filing of the Exchange Act Reports and/or acting as the
Certifying Person, if the Depositor has received indemnity from such successor
Master Servicer satisfactory to the Depositor, and such Master Servicer has
agreed to provide a Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification to the Depositor substantially
in the form of Exhibit Y and the certifications referred to in Section
11.07.

Representations
and Warranties of Countrywide as to all of the Mortgage Loans
Countrywide
Home Loans, Inc. (“Countrywide”) hereby makes the representations and warranties
set forth in this Schedule III-A to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the
Trustee, with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans as of the Closing Date,
or if
so specified herein, as of the Cut-off Date. Capitalized terms used
but not otherwise defined in this Schedule III-A shall have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and
Servicing Agreement”) relating to the above-referenced Series, among
Countrywide, as a seller, Park Granada LLC, as a seller, Park Monaco Inc.,
as a
seller, Park Sienna LLC, as a seller, Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP,
as
master servicer, CWALT, Inc., as depositor, and The Bank of New York, as
trustee.
(1) The
information set forth on Schedule I to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
with
respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than the information contained in clauses
(xxii), (xxiii) and (xxiv) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule) is true and correct
in
all material respects as of the Closing Date.
(2) As
of the Closing Date, all payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan
prior
to the Cut-off Date have been made.
(3) No
Mortgage Loan had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess
of 100.00%.
(4) Each
Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property
subject
only to (a) the lien of non delinquent current real property taxes and
assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording
of such
Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally or specifically reflected in the appraisal
made
in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, and (c)
other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such
Mortgage.
(5) [Reserved].
(6) There
is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any Mortgaged
Property.
(7) There
is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any Mortgage Note or Mortgage,
including the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of
or
interest on such Mortgage Note.
(8) There
are no mechanics’ liens or claims for work, labor or material affecting any
Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal with, the
lien
of such Mortgage, except those which are insured against by the title insurance
policy referred to in item (12) below.
(9) As
of the Closing Date, to the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, each Mortgaged
Property is free of material damage and in good repair.
(10) Each
Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material respects with applicable
local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, usury, equal
credit opportunity, predatory and abusive lending laws, real estate
settlement procedures, truth-in-lending and disclosure laws, and consummation
of
the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any
such
laws.
(11) As
of the Closing Date, neither Countrywide nor any prior holder of any Mortgage
has modified the Mortgage in any material respect (except that a Mortgage
Loan
may have been modified by a written instrument which has been recorded or
submitted for recordation, if necessary, to protect the interests of the
Certificateholders and the original or a copy of which has been delivered
to the
Trustee); satisfied, cancelled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole or
in
part; released the related Mortgaged Property in whole or in part from the
lien
of such Mortgage; or executed any instrument of release, cancellation,
modification or satisfaction with respect thereto.
(12) A
lender’s policy of title insurance together with a condominium endorsement and
extended coverage endorsement, if applicable, in an amount at least equal
to the
Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance of each such Mortgage Loan or a commitment
(binder) to issue the same was effective on the date of the origination of
each
Mortgage Loan, each such policy is valid and remains in full force and effect,
and each such policy was issued by a title insurer qualified to do business
in
the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located and acceptable to
FNMA
or FHLMC and is in a form acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, which policy insures
Countrywide and successor owners of indebtedness secured by the insured
Mortgage, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage subject to the
exceptions set forth in paragraph (4) above and against any loss by reason
of
the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions
of
the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the mortgage interest rate and/or
monthly payment; to the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, no claims have been
made under such mortgage title insurance policy and no prior holder of the
related Mortgage, including Countrywide, has done, by act or omission, anything
which would impair the coverage of such mortgage title insurance
policy.
(13) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, all mortgage rate and payment adjustments,
if
any, made on or prior to the Cut-off Date have been made in accordance with
the
terms of the related Mortgage Note or subsequent modifications, if any, and
applicable law.
(14) Each
Mortgage Loan was originated (within the meaning of Section 3(a)(41) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by an entity that satisfied
at the
time of origination the requirements of Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(15) To
the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, all of the improvements which were included
for the purpose of determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property
lie
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property,
and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property.
(16) To
the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, no improvement located on or being part of
the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or
regulation. To the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, all inspections,
licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all
occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use
and
occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy
and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities, unless the lack thereof would not have a material
adverse effect on the value of such Mortgaged Property, and the Mortgaged
Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.
(17) Each
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with
its
terms and under applicable law. To the best of Countrywide’s
knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity
to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and
Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.
(18) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loans have been fully disbursed, there is no
requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all requirements as
to
completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements
of
any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs, fees
and expenses incurred in making, or closing or recording the Mortgage Loans
were
paid.
(19) The
related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions which render
the
rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against
the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security, including, (i) in
the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (ii)
otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
(20) With
respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and
currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses
are
or will become payable by the Certificateholders to the trustee under the
deed
of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the
Mortgagor.
(21) Each
Mortgage Note and each Mortgage is in substantially one of the forms acceptable
to FNMA or FHLMC, with such riders as have been acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC,
as
the case may be.
(22) There
exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits and payments, if such
are
required, for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not
been
made, and no escrow deposits or payments of other charges or payments due
Countrywide have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage
Note.
(23) The
origination, underwriting and collection practices used by Countrywide with
respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects legal, prudent and
customary in the mortgage lending and servicing business.
(24) There
is no pledged account or other security other than real estate securing the
Mortgagor’s obligations in respect of any Mortgage Loan.
(25) No
Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other contingent interest
feature.
(26) Each
Mortgage Loan contains a customary “due on sale” clause.
(27) As
of the Closing Date, approximately 51.69% of the Mortgage Loans (and
approximately 49.96% of the Mortgage Loans in Sub-Group X by aggregate Cut-off
Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in Sub-Group X), by aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, provide for a Prepayment
Charge.
(28) Each
Mortgage Loan that had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of
80% is
the subject of a Primary Insurance Policy that insures that portion of the
principal balance equal to a specified percentage times the sum of the remaining
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, the accrued interest thereon
and
the related foreclosure expenses. The specified coverage percentage
for mortgage loans with terms to maturity of between 25 and 30 years is 12%
for
Loan-to-Value Ratios between 80.01% and 85.00%, 25% for Loan-to-Value Ratios
between 85.01% and 90.00%, 30% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 90.01% and
95.00% and 35% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 95.01% and 100%. The
specified coverage percentage for mortgage loans with terms to maturity of
up to
20 years ranges from 6% to 12% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 80.01% and
85.00%; from 12% to 20% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 85.01% and 90.00%
and
from 20% to 25% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 90.01% and 95.00%. Each
such
Primary Insurance Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer. All
provisions of any such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied
with, any such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due
thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary
Insurance Policy obligates either the Mortgagor or the mortgagee thereunder
to
maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection
therewith, subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 3.09(b) of
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Mortgage Rate for each Mortgage
Loan is net of any such insurance premium.
(29) As
of the Closing Date, the improvements upon each Mortgaged Property are covered
by a valid and existing hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable
carrier that provides for fire and extended coverage and coverage for such
other
hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located
in
an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable
value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater
of (a)
the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount
such
that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor
and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged
Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded
by a
blanket policy for the condominium unit. All such individual
insurance policies and all flood policies referred to in item (30) below
contain
a standard mortgagee clause naming Countrywide or the original mortgagee,
and
its successors in interest, as mortgagee, and Countrywide has received no
notice
that any premiums due and payable thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance including
flood insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor’s
failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain
such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor.
(30) If
the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by
the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood
insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of the current guidelines
of
the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with respect to such Mortgaged
Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage
not less than the least of (A) the original outstanding principal balance
of the
Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or
loss
on a replacement cost basis, or (C) the maximum amount of insurance that
is
available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended.
(31) To
the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, there is no proceeding occurring, pending
or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged
Property.
(32) There
is no material monetary default existing under any Mortgage or the related
Mortgage Note and, to the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, there is no material
event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of
any
grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event
of
acceleration under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and Countrywide
has not waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration.
(33) Each
Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to four-family residential dwelling
including condominium units and dwelling units in PUDs, which, to the best
of
Countrywide’s knowledge, does not include cooperatives or mobile homes and does
not constitute other than real property under state law.
(34) Each
Mortgage Loan is being master serviced by the Master Servicer.
(35) Any
future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with
the
outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal
amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment
term
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The consolidated principal
amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan. The Mortgage Note does not permit or obligate the Master
Servicer to make future advances to the Mortgagor at the option of the
Mortgagor.
(36) All
taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and
owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has
been
assessed, but is not yet due and payable. Except for (A) payments in
the nature of escrow payments, and (B) interest accruing from the date of
the
Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever
is
later, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first
installment of principal and interest, including without limitation, taxes
and
insurance payments, the Master Servicer has not advanced funds, or induced,
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than
the
Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required
by the
Mortgage.
(37) All
of the Mortgage Loans were underwritten in all material respects in accordance
with Countrywide’s underwriting guidelines as set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement.
(38) Other
than with respect to any Streamlined Documentation Mortgage Loan as to which
the
loan-to-value ratio of the related Original Mortgage Loan was less than 90%
at
the time of the origination of such Original Mortgage Loan, prior to the
approval of the Mortgage Loan application, an appraisal of the related Mortgaged
Property was obtained from a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the
originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property
or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not
affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan; such appraisal
is
in a form acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC.
(39) None
of the Mortgage Loans is a graduated payment mortgage loan or a growing equity
mortgage loan, and none of the Mortgage Loans is subject to a buydown or
similar
arrangement.
(40) Any
leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a term of not less than five
years
in excess of the term of the related Mortgage Loan.
(41) The
Mortgage Loans were selected from among the outstanding adjustable-rate one-
to
four-family mortgage loans in the portfolios of the Sellers at the Closing
Date
as to which the representations and warranties made as to the Mortgage Loans
set
forth in this Schedule III-A can be made. Such selection was not made
in a manner intended to adversely affect the interests of
Certificateholders.
(42) Except
for 282 Mortgage Loans (and 149 of the Mortgage Loans in Sub-Group X), each
Mortgage Loan has a payment date on or before the Due Date in the month of
the
first Distribution Date.
(43) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which an affidavit has been delivered
to the
Trustee certifying that the original Mortgage Note is a Lost Mortgage Note,
if
such Mortgage Loan is subsequently in default, the enforcement of such Mortgage
Loan or of the related Mortgage by or on behalf of the Trustee will not be
materially adversely affected by the absence of the original Mortgage
Note. A “Lost Mortgage Note” is a Mortgage Note the original of which
was permanently lost or destroyed and has not been replaced.
(44) The
Mortgage Loans, individually and in the aggregate, conform in all material
respects to the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus Supplement.
(45) No
Mortgage Loan originated between October 1, 2002 and March 7, 2003 is subject
to
the Georgia Fair Lending Act, as amended. No Mortgage Loan originated
between October 1, 2002 and March 7, 2003 is secured by a Mortgaged Property
located in the state of Georgia, and there is no Mortgage Loan originated
on or
after March 7, 2003 that is a “high cost home loan” as defined under the Georgia
Fair Lending Act.
(46) None
of the Mortgage Loans are “high cost” loans as defined by applicable predatory
and abusive lending laws.
(47) None
of the Mortgage Loans are covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection
Act of 1994 (“HOEPA”).
(48) No
Mortgage Loan is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home
Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003 (N.J.S.A. 46:10B-22 et
seq.).
(49) No
Mortgage Loan is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan
Protection Act effective January 1, 2004 (N.M. Stat. Xxx. §§ 58-21a-1 et
seq.).
(50) No
Mortgage Loan is a “High-Cost Home Mortgage Loan” as defined in the
Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004
(Mass. Gen. Law ch. 183C).
(51) [Reserved].
(52) [Reserved].
(53) No
Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable, and with
respect to the foregoing, the terms “High Cost Loan” and “Covered Loan” have the
meaning assigned to them in the then current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS®
Version 6.0 Glossary Revised, Appendix E which is attached hereto as Exhibit

Principal
in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as set forth
herein. Accordingly, the Certificate Balance at any time may be less
than the Certificate Balance as set forth herein. This Certificate
does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not guaranteed
by
the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to

This

(obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate
Initial Certificate Balance of all Certificates of the Class to which this
Certificate belongs) in certain monthly distributions with respect to a Trust
Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage
A-2
Loans
deposited by CWALT, Inc. (the “Depositor”). The Trust Fund was
created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off
Date specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, Countrywide Home
Loans, Inc., as a seller (“CHL”), Park Granada LLC, as a seller (“Park
Granada”), Park Monaco, Inc., as a seller (“Park Monaco”), and Park Sienna LLC,
as a seller (“Park Sienna” and, together with CHL, Park Granada and Park Monaco,

by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is
bound.
[Until
this certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting,
no
transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless the Trustee
shall
have received either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such
Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section
4975
of the Code, or a person acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of
any
such benefit plan or arrangement, which representation letter shall not be
an
expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, or (ii) in the
case of any such Certificate presented for registration in the name of an
employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to
Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent

Trustee or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken
in the Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund. Unless the transferee
delivers the Opinion of Counsel described above, such representation shall
be
deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the Transferee’s acceptance of a
Certificate of this Class and by a beneficial owner’s acceptance of its interest
in a Certificate of this Class. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, until such certificate has been the subject of an
ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, any purported transfer of a Certificate of

evidencing
the distributions allocable to the Class A-R Certificates with respect to
a
Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of conventional mortgage loans
(the
“Mortgage Loans”) secured by first liens on one- to four-family residential
properties
CWALT,
Inc., as Depositor
Principal
in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as set forth
herein. Accordingly, the Certificate Balance at any time may be less
than the Certificate Balance as set forth herein. This Certificate
does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in, and is not guaranteed
by
the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to
below
or any of their respective affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor
the Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or
instrumentality.
This
certifies that
is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest (obtained by dividing
the
Denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Initial Certificate Balance
of
all Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs) in certain
monthly distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting of the Mortgage
Loans deposited by CWALT, Inc. (the
C-1-2
“Depositor”). The
Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated
as of
the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor,
Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., as a seller (“CHL”), Park Granada LLC, as a seller
(“Park Granada”), Park Monaco, Inc., as a seller (“Park Monaco”), and Park
Sienna LLC, as a seller (“Park Sienna” and, together with CHL, Park Granada and
Park Monaco, the “Sellers”), Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, as master
servicer (the “Master Servicer”), and The Bank of New York, as
trustee (the “Trustee”). To the extent not defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the
Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder
of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which
such
Holder is bound.
Any
distribution of the proceeds of any remaining assets of the Trust Fund will
be
made only upon presentment and surrender of this Class A-R Certificate at
the
Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the Trustee
in New
York, New York.
No
transfer of a Class A-R Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall
have
received either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such
Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section
4975
of the Code, or a person acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of
any
such benefit plan or arrangement, which representation letter shall not be
an
expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, (ii) if such
certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting and
the
transferee is an insurance company, a representation that the transferee
is
purchasing such Certificate with funds contained in an “insurance company
general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and
holding of such Certificate satisfy the requirements for exemptive relief
under
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (iii) in the case of any such Certificate
presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject
to
ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), a trustee of any such
benefit plan or arrangement or any other person acting on behalf of any such
benefit plan or arrangement, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
to the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificate will not
result
in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, and will not subject the Trustee or the Master Servicer to any obligation
in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel
shall
not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust
Fund. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any
purported transfer of a Class A-R Certificate to or on behalf of an employee
benefit plan subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section
4975
of the Code without the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as
described above shall be void and of no effect.
Each
Holder of this Class A-R Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be
bound
by the restrictions of the Agreement, including but not limited to the
restrictions that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in
this Class A-R Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee, (ii) no Ownership
Interest in this Class A-R Certificate may be transferred without
C-1-3
delivery
to the Trustee of (a) a transfer affidavit of the proposed transferee and
(b) a
transfer certificate of the transferor, each of such documents to be in the
form
described in the Agreement, (iii) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in this Class A-R Certificate must agree to require a transfer
affidavit and to deliver a transfer certificate to the Trustee as required
pursuant to the Agreement, (iv) each person holding or acquiring an Ownership
Interest in this Class A-R Certificate must agree not to transfer an Ownership
Interest in this Class A-R Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the
proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and (v) any attempted or
purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Class A-R Certificate
in
violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void and will
vest no
rights in the purported transferee.
Reference
is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on
the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the
same
effect as if set forth at this place.
This
Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be
valid
for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an authorized signatory
of the
Trustee.

of
this Certificate by the aggregate Initial Notional Amount of all Certificates
of
the Class to which this Certificate belongs) in certain monthly distributions
with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans
deposited by CWALT, Inc. (the “Depositor”). The Trust Fund was

Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the
terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder
of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which
such
Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an
amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Class
P
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.02 of the
Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is
the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding such Distribution
Date.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so
notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
related
Record Date and such Certificateholder shall hold 100% of a Class of Regular
Certificates or of Certificates with an aggregate Initial Certificate Balance
of
$1,000,000 or more, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the
address of such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate
Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in
like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate
at the
Corporate Trust Office or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
No
transfer of a Class P Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and any applicable
state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under
the
Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in
reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to assure
compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to
effect
such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each
certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the
transfer. In the event that such a transfer is to be made within two
years from the date of the initial issuance of Certificates, there shall
also be
delivered (except in the case of a transfer pursuant to Rule 144A of the
Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Act) to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the
Act and
such state securities laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained
at
the expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Depositor. The
Holder hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree
to,
indemnify the Trustee, the
C-2-4
Certificate
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 a Class P Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee shall
have
received either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of a Class
P
Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section
4975
of the Code, or a person acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of
any
such benefit plan or arrangement, which representation letter shall not be
an
expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, (ii) if such
Class P Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting
and
the transferee is an insurance company, a representation that the transferee
is
purchasing such Class P Certificate with funds contained in an “insurance
company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and
holding of such Class P Certificate satisfy the requirements for exemptive
relief under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (iii) in the case of a
Class P
Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit
plan
subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the
Code
(or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), a trustee of any
such
benefit plan or arrangement or any other person acting on behalf of any such
benefit plan or arrangement, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee
to the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificate will not
result
in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, and will not subject the Trustee or the Master Servicer to any obligation
in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel
shall
not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust
Fund. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any
purported transfer of a Class P Certificate to or on behalf of an employee
benefit plan subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section
4975
of the Code without the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as
described above shall be void and of no effect.
This
Class P Certificate may not be pledged or used as collateral for any other
obligation if it would cause any portion of the Trust Fund to be treated
as a
taxable mortgage pool under Section 7701(i) of the Code.
Each
Holder of this Class P Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound
by
the transfer restrictions set forth in the Agreement and all other terms
and
provisions of the Agreement.

evidencing
a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to the Certificates
of the
above-referenced Class with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily
of a
pool of conventional mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) secured by first
liens on one- to four-family residential properties
CWALT,
Inc., as Depositor
The
Notional Amount of this certificate at any time, may be less than the Notional
Amount as set forth herein. This Certificate does not evidence an
obligation of, or an interest in, and is not guaranteed by the Depositor,
the
Sellers, the Master Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their
respective affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the Mortgage
Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental agency or
instrumentality.
This
certifies that
is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
(obtained by dividing the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate
Initial Notional Amount of all Certificates of the Class to which this
Certificate belongs) in certain monthly distributions with respect to a Trust
Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans deposited by CWALT, Inc.
(the
“Depositor”). The Trust Fund was created
D-2
pursuant
to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified
above (the “Agreement”) among the Depositor, Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., as a
seller (“CHL”), Park Granada LLC, as a seller (“Park Granada”), Park Monaco,
Inc., as a seller (“Park Monaco”), and Park Sienna LLC, as a seller (“Park
Sienna” and, together with CHL, Park Granada and Park Monaco, the “Sellers”),
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, as master servicer (the “Master
Servicer”), and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the
“Trustee”). To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms
used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is
bound.
[Until
this certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting,
no
transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless the Trustee
shall
have received either (i) a representation letter from the transferee of such
Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section
4975
of the Code, or a person acting on behalf of or investing plan assets of
any
such benefit plan or arrangement, which representation letter shall not be
an
expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, or (ii) in
the
case of any such Certificate presented for registration in the name of an
employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to
Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent
enactments), a trustee of any such benefit plan or arrangement or any other
person acting on behalf of any such benefit plan or arrangement, an Opinion
of
Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase and holding
of such Certificate will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction
under
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and will not subject the
Trustee or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to those undertaken
in the Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund. When the transferee
delivers the Opinion of Counsel described above, such representation shall
be
deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the Transferee’s acceptance of a
Certificate of this Class and by a beneficial owner’s acceptance of its interest
in a Certificate of this Class. Notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, until such certificate has been the subject of an
ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, any purported transfer of a Certificate of
this
Class to, or a person investing assets of, an employee benefit plan subject
to
ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code without
the
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be
void
and of no effect.]
Reference
is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on
the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the
same
effect as if set forth at this place.
This
Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be
valid
for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an authorized signatory
of the
Trustee.

Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
CWALT, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series specified on
the
face hereof (herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a
beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by the
Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders for
any
amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trustee.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately
following (the “Distribution Date”), commencing on the first Distribution Date
specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to Holders of Certificates of the
Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution Date pursuant
to
the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date
is the last Business Day of the month next preceding the month of such
Distribution Date.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have so
notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the
related
Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the conditions to receive
such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed
by
first class mail to the address of such Certificateholder appearing in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will
be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such
Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other location specified
in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trustee
and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
E-1
Trustee
with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment
evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the
Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of
any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at
the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the Trustee
in
New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by
the
holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the
Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee and any agent
of the
Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor,
the
Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance is less than
or
equal to 10% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance,
the Master Servicer will have the option, subject to the limitations set
forth
in the Agreement, to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans
at a
purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event
that no such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities
created by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or
other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in respect
thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required
to be
distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the
trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the
E-2
expiration
of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living
at the
date of the Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.
Any
term
used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the meaning assigned
in
the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed inconsistent with that
meaning.

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

REQUIREMENT THAT TRANSFEREE CERTIFIES TRANSFER OF CERTIFICATE SATISFIES CERTAIN
REGULATORY “SAFE HARBORS”
The
Transferor hereby waives the requirement that the Transferee certify that

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

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

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