to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed
by it and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan and
(iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (iii), (x),
(xi), (xii), (xv) and (xviii) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule"
accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. It is herein
acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trust Administrator, the
Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, is under no duty or obligation (i) to
inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or
other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate
for the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that
they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) to determine
whether any Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in
clause (v) of Section 2.01.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall deliver to the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee, the Servicers and the Master Servicer
a final certification with respect to the related Mortgage Files, in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 (or, with respect to the Custodian, in the form
attached to the Custodial Agreement) evidencing the completeness of such
Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian finds any document or
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be missing or defective in
any material respect, at the conclusion of its review, such party shall so
notify the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee, the Servicers and the
Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer, the Servicers, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of
the representations and warranties made by an Originator or the Seller in the
Master Agreements or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable, in
respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage
Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan,
the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties.
The Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as
applicable shall, at the written request and expense of any Certificateholder,
provide a written report to such Certificateholder of all related Mortgage Files
released to the Servicers for servicing purposes.
The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, conveying good title thereto
free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be
part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any
insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be,
or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first
priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the
related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.
SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by
an Originator or the Seller.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of
the breach by an Originator or the Seller of any representation, warranty or
covenant under the Master Agreements, the Originator Assignment Agreements or
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable, (including any
representation, warranty or covenant regarding the Prepayment Charge Schedule)
in respect of any Mortgage Loan that materially adversely affects the value of
such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee (who shall have received notice from the
Custodian), as applicable, shall promptly notify the related Originator, the
NIMS Insurer, the Seller, the Servicers and the Master Servicer of such defect,
missing document or breach and request that the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, deliver such missing document or cure such defect or
breach within 90 days from the date such Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the
related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, does not deliver such missing
document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such
period, the Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the related Originator or
the Seller, as applicable, under the related Maser Agreement, the related
Originator Assignment Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as
applicable, to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the Purchase Price
within 90 days after the date on which the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, was notified (subject to Section 2.03(c)) of such missing document,
defect or breach, if and to the extent that the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, is obligated to do so under the related Master Agreement,
the related Originator Assignment Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement, as applicable. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan
shall be remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Distribution
Account and the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as
applicable, upon receipt of written notice from the Master Servicer of such
deposit, shall release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
the related Mortgage File and such party shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as
shall be necessary to vest in the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. In furtherance of the
foregoing, if the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, is not a
member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which is registered on the
MERS(R) System, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, at its own
expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and
deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the
Mortgage from MERS to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, and
shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System
in accordance with MERS' rules and regulations. The Trust Administrator, the
Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall not have any further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of repurchasing any
such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the related Master
Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I
(in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or
more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.03(b); provided, however, the related
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, may not substitute a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan for any Deleted Mortgage Loan that violates any
predatory or abusive lending law. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of an Originator or the Seller, as applicable, to cure or to
repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is
missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such
a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee and the
Certificateholders.
(b) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected
prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which an Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, delivering to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the
Custodian, as applicable, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment in blank or to the Trustee, and
such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as
are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate providing
that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition
thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment Amount (as described below),
if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trust Administrator, the
Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall acknowledge receipt for such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, within ten Business Days
thereafter, review such documents as specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to
the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Servicers and the Master Servicer, with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of substitution, the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall deliver to the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Servicers and the Master Servicer a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 hereto with respect to
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions
noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC I and will be
retained by the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For the month
of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly
Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in the month
of substitution, and the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall
thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in respect of
such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor shall give or cause to be given
written notice to the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer that such
substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and
the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Custodian, the related Servicer and the NIMS
Insurer. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all
respects to the terms of this Agreement and the related Master Agreement, the
related Originator Assignment Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,
as applicable, including, all applicable representations and warranties thereof
included in the related Master Agreement, the related Originator Assignment
Agreement or Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable.
For any month in which an Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one
or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will monitor the obligation
of the related Servicer, to the extent provided in the related Servicing
Agreement, to determine the amount (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount"), if
any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
exceeds the aggregate of, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan,
the Stated Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together
with one month's interest on such Stated Principal Balance at the applicable Net
Mortgage Rate, plus all outstanding Advances and Servicing Advances (including
Nonrecoverable Advances and Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) related thereto.
If the related Servicing Agreement does not require the related Servicer to
determine the Substitution Adjustment Amount, the Master Servicer, based on
information provided to it by the related Servicer, shall determine the
Substitution Adjustment Amount. Upon receipt of the related Servicer's
determination of the Substitution Adjustment Amount or upon determination by the
Master Servicer of the Substitution Adjustment Amount, the Master Servicer shall
give prompt written notice thereof to the Trust Administrator. On the date of
such substitution, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, will
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the
Distribution Account an amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if
any, and the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable,
upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and
written notice by the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the
related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File or
Files and such party shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, the related Originator or the Seller,
as applicable, shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest therein any
Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any
Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on
"prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or
(b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, an
Originator, the Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact
shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties
hereto and the Trustee shall give written notice to the related Originator and
the Seller. In connection therewith, the related Originator, the Seller or the
Depositor shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2.03(b), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the
affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of
such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or
substitution shall be made by (i) the related Originator or the Seller, as the
case may be, if the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage
is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by
such Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, under the related Master
Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable, or (ii) the
Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage is
a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution
shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a). The Trust
Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall reconvey to
the Depositor, the related Originator or the Seller, as the case may be, the
Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on the same
terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a
representation or warranty.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer
The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the
obligation of the Servicers to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms of the related Servicing Agreement and shall have full
power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or
desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In
performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner
consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master
Servicer shall oversee and consult with the Servicers as necessary from
time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder, shall
receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to
the Master Servicer by the Servicers and shall cause the Servicers to perform
and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or
observed by each Servicer under its Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall independently monitor the related Servicer's servicing activities with
respect to each Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with
such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and
coordinate corrective adjustments to each Servicer's and Master Servicer's
records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the Master
Servicer shall provide such information to the Trust Administrator as shall be
necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section 4.02,
and prepare any other information and statements required to be forwarded by the
Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of
its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of each Servicer to the
related Custodial Account pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master
Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents in form as provided to
it necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to
service and administer the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall provide access
to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, regarding the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
and the servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the
supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only
upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the
office of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable; provided,
however, that, unless otherwise required by law, neither the Trustee nor the
Trust Administrator shall be required to provide access to such records and
documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy
of any Mortgagor. The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall allow
representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and
documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that
covers the Trustee's or Trust Administrator's, as applicable, actual costs.
The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Servicers and the
Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee's sale or other
documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee's sale with
respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument;
(iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any
other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise
available at law or equity.
In the event a term or provision of this Agreement conflicts
with a term or provision of a Servicing Agreement or Servicer Assignment
Agreement, the terms and provisions of the latter shall prevail.
SECTION 3.02. [Reserved].
SECTION 3.03. Monitoring of Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor the compliance by each
Servicer with its duties under its Servicing Agreement. In the review of each
Servicer's activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer's
certificate of the related Servicer (or similar document signed by a Servicing
Officer of the related Servicer) with regard to such Servicer's compliance with
the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in
its judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance with
the related Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the
related Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that,
unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer
shall notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee thereof and
the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it
deems appropriate.
(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under its
Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails to perform
its obligations in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, subject to the
preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of the related
Servicer thereunder and act as Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or cause
the Trustee to enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer
selected by the Master Servicer; provided, however, it is understood and
acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition
(not to exceed 90 days with respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced by JPMorgan,
and 120 days with respect to the Mortgage Loans serviced by Ocwen) before the
actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer.
Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of
claims, termination of a Servicing Agreement and the pursuit of other
appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent
and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided
that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal
action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received
reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.
(c) To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master
Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor
Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with
respect to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal
costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an
evaluation of the potential termination of a Servicer as a result of an event of
default by such Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement and (ii) all
costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including
all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or
manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor Servicer
to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to
enable the successor Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the
terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of
such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account.
(d) The Master Servicer shall require the Servicers to comply
with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related
Servicing Agreement.
(e) If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not
assume liability for the representations and warranties of such Servicer, if
any, that it replaces.
SECTION 3.04. Fidelity Bond
The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect
a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording
coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons
acting on such Master Servicer's behalf, and covering errors and omissions in
the performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder. The errors and
omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and
amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or
trustees.
SECTION 3.05. Power to Act; Procedures.
The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans
and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions, the
provisions of Article X hereof and the related Servicing Agreement, to do any
and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the
master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not
limited to the power and authority (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, (iii) to
collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate
foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property
securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its
responsibilities under Article X, shall not permit any Servicer to) knowingly or
intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken)
any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more
specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not
taken, as the case may be, would cause the Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but
not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in
Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion
of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that
the contemplated action would not cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
or result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC. The Trustee shall furnish
the Master Servicer or any Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing
Officer, with any powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or any
Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or
of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise
liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court
action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance
with the related Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall
execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to
enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans
and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted
Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse
of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). If the
Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws
of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the
name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the
"doing business" or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name,
the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a
co-trustee pursuant to Section 8.10 hereof. In the performance of its duties
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not,
except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee,
be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.
SECTION 3.06. Due on Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
To the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, to
the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master
Servicer shall cause the related Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance
with the related Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the
enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in
accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a
Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability
in accordance with such Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 3.07. Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage
Loan, or the receipt by any Servicer of a notification that payment in full has
been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to
Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the related Servicer will, if
required under the related Servicing Agreement (or if such Servicer does not,
the Master Servicer may), promptly furnish to the Trust Administrator, the
Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, two copies of a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (or such comparable form as set
forth in the Custodial Agreement) signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually
agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face,
originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such
payment that are required to be deposited in the Custodial Account maintained by
the related Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement have been or
will be so deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, deliver to the related Servicer the related
Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, shall promptly
release the related Mortgage File to the related Servicer and shall have no
further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment
in full, the related Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee,
as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an
instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse)
regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of
satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person
or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being
understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such
instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be
chargeable to the related Custodial Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the related Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and
furnished to the Trustee by the related Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of
any such proceedings. The Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as
applicable, shall, upon the request of the related Servicer or the Master
Servicer, and delivery to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian,
as applicable, of two copies of a request for release signed by a Servicing
Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit E or such comparable form as set
forth in the Custodial Agreement (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format
which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing
Officer), release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to
the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable. Such trust receipt
shall obligate the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the
Mortgage File to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as
applicable, when the need therefor by the related Servicer or the Master
Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which
case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that
hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable to the related
Servicer or the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.08. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of
Master Servicer to be Held for Trustee.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Servicers (to the extent
required by the Servicing Agreements) shall transmit to the Trustee or the
Custodian such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the
Master Servicer or the Servicers from time to time as are required by the terms
hereof, or in the case of the Servicers, the related Servicing Agreement, to be
delivered to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Custodian. Any funds
received by the Master Servicer or by the Servicers in respect of any Mortgage
Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer or by the Servicers
as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan
shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders subject
to the Master Servicer's right to retain or withdraw from the Distribution
Account the Master Servicing Compensation and other amounts provided in this
Agreement, and to the right of each Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and
other amounts as provided in the related Servicing Agreement. The Master
Servicer shall, and (to the extent provided in the Servicing Agreements) shall
cause the Servicers to, provide access to information and documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trust Administrator, its agents and
accountants at any time upon reasonable request and during normal business
hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks
or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the
supervisory agents and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of
any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so
required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other
regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge but only upon
reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at the offices of
the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master
Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such
information.
(b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or
under the control of, the Master Servicer or the Servicers, in respect of any
Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments
or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master
Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall
be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however,
that the Master Servicer and the Servicers shall be entitled to setoff against,
and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to
the Master Servicer or the Servicers under this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreements, as applicable.
SECTION 3.09. Standard Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance
Policies.
(a) For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce
any obligation of the Servicers under the Servicing Agreements to maintain or
cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and, where
applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of the
Servicing Agreements. It is understood and agreed that such insurance shall be
with insurers meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in the Servicing
Agreements and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be
required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect of
a defaulted loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance.
(b) Pursuant to Section 3.19 and Section 3.20, any amounts
collected by the Master Servicer under any insurance policies (other than
amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property subject to
the related Mortgage or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the
Servicing Agreements) shall be deposited into the Distribution Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.20 and Section 3.21. Any cost incurred by
the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults
in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage
Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the
addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of
calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be
recoverable by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20 and Section 3.21.
SECTION 3.10. Presentment of Claims and Collection of
Proceeds.
The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers (to the extent
provided in the Servicing Agreements) to, prepare and present on behalf of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the insurance policies and
take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or
enforcement of the insured's claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery
under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the Master Servicer (or disbursed
to the Servicers and remitted to the Master Servicer) in respect of such
policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly deposited in the Distribution
Account upon receipt, except that any amounts realized that are to be applied to
the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property as a condition
precedent to the presentation of claims on the related Mortgage Loan to the
insurer under any applicable insurance policy need not be so deposited (or
remitted).
SECTION 3.11. [Reserved].
SECTION 3.12. Trustee, Trust Administrator and the Custodian
to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance
Policies and Documents
Until all amounts distributable in respect of the Certificates
have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer otherwise has fulfilled
its obligations under this Agreement, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or
the Custodian, as applicable, shall retain possession and custody of each
related Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement or the Custodial Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer
shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trust Administrator, the
Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, such other documents or instruments
that constitute portions of the Mortgage File that come into the possession of
the Master Servicer from time to time.
SECTION 3.13. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers (to the extent
required under the Servicing Agreements) to foreclose upon, repossess or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Mortgaged 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, all
in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 3.14. Compensation for the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer will be entitled to all income and gain
realized from any investment of funds in the Distribution Account, pursuant to
Section 3.20 and Section 3.21, for the performance of its activities hereunder
(the "Master Servicing Compensation"). Servicing compensation in the form of
assumption fees, if any, late payment charges, as collected, if any, or
otherwise shall be retained by the related Servicer in accordance with the
related Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with the performance of its duties
hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided
in this Agreement.
SECTION 3.15. REO Property.
(a) In the event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO
Property in respect of any related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of
sale shall be issued to the Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the related
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent provided in the
related Servicing Agreements, cause the related Servicer to sell, any REO
Property as expeditiously as possible and in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. Pursuant to
such efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall cause the
related Servicer to protect and conserve such REO Property (and to conduct any
activities relating to the operation or management of such REO Property) in the
manner and to the extent required by the related Servicing Agreement, in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions and in a manner that does not result in a
tax on "net income from foreclosure property" or cause such REO Property to fail
to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code.
(b) The Master Servicer shall, to the extent required by the
related Servicing Agreement, cause the related Servicer to deposit all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in
its Custodial Account.
(c) The Master Servicer and the related Servicer, upon the
final disposition of any REO Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for
any related unreimbursed Advances and other unreimbursed Servicing Advances as
well as any unpaid Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in
connection with the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any
such unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances as well as any unpaid
Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final
disposition, out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such
REO Property.
(d) To the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement,
the Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of
any payment to the Master Servicer and the related Servicer as provided above
shall be deposited in the related Custodial Account on or prior to the
Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof and be remitted by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Master Servicer for deposit
into the Distribution Account on the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date.
SECTION 3.16. Annual Officer's Certificate as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Rating Agencies on or before March 1st of each year,
commencing on March 1, 2006, an Officer's Certificate, certifying that with
respect to the period ending December 31 of the prior year: (i) such Servicing
Officer has reviewed the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding
calendar year or portion thereof and its performance under this Agreement, (ii)
to the best of such Servicing Officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
Master Servicer has performed and fulfilled its duties, responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout such year,
or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such duties,
responsibilities or obligations, specifying each such default known to such
Servicing Officer and the nature and status thereof, (iii) nothing has come to
the attention of such Servicing Officer to lead such Servicing Officer to
believe that either Servicer has failed to perform any of its duties,
responsibilities and obligations under the related Servicing Agreement in all
material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a material default
in the performance or fulfillment of any such duties, responsibilities or
obligations, specifying each such default known to such Servicing Officer and
the nature and status thereof. Copies of such statements shall be provided to
any Certificateholder upon request, by the Trust Administrator at the Master
Servicer's expense.
SECTION 3.17. Annual Independent Accountant's Servicing Report
If the Master Servicer has, during the course of any fiscal
year, directly serviced any of the Mortgage Loans, then the Master Servicer at
its expense shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified
public accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Rating Agencies on or before March 1st of each year, commencing on March 1, 2006
to the effect that, with respect to the most recently ended fiscal year, such
firm has examined certain records and documents relating to the Master
Servicer's performance of its servicing obligations under this Agreement and
pooling and servicing and trust agreements in material respects similar to this
Agreement and to each other and that, on the basis of such examination conducted
substantially in compliance with the audit program for mortgages serviced for
Xxxxxxx Mac or the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, such
firm is of the opinion that the Master Servicer's activities have been conducted
in compliance with this Agreement, or that such examination has disclosed no
material items of noncompliance except for (i) such exceptions as such firm
believes to be immaterial, (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such
statement and (iii) such exceptions that the Uniform Single Attestation Program
for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages Serviced by Xxxxxxx Mac
requires it to report. Copies of such statements shall be provided to any
Certificateholder upon request by the Trust Administrator at the expense of the
Master Servicer. If such report discloses exceptions that are material, the
Master Servicer shall advise the Trustee whether such exceptions have been or
are susceptible of cure, and if susceptible of cure will take prompt action to
cure.
SECTION 3.18. Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
In the event of a Prepayment Interest Shortfall, the Master
Servicer shall remit to the Trust Administrator, from its own funds and without
right of reimbursement (except as described below), not later than the related
Distribution Date, Compensating Interest in an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
the aggregate amounts in respect of Compensating Interest required to be paid by

respect of such Compensating Interest prior to the time it shall have succeeded
as successor Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be subrograted to the Trust
Fund's right to receive such amount from the related Servicer. In the event the
Trust Fund receives from the related Servicer all or any portion of amounts in
respect of Compensating Interest required to be paid by the related Servicer in
connection with Principal Prepayments in full, not so paid by the related
Servicer when required, and paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section

Agreement) of receipt, all collections of principal and interest on any Mortgage
Loan and any REO Property received by the related Servicer, including Principal
Prepayments, Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries,
without duplication, all advances made from the related Servicer's own funds
(less servicing compensation as permitted by the related Servicing Agreement and
other amounts permitted to be netted from such required deposits pursuant to the
related Servicing Agreement) and all other amounts to be deposited in the
Custodial Account. Each Servicer is hereby authorized to make withdrawals from
and deposits to the related Custodial Account for purposes required or permitted
by this Agreement. To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement,
the Custodial Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts and segregated on the books of
any applicable depository institution in the name of the Trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders.
(b) The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of each

(1) Any amounts remitted to the Master Servicer by the

received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or which were not
deposited in the Custodial Account;
(4) The Purchase Price with respect to any Mortgage Loans

Loan Purchase Agreement or the related Master Agreement or purchased by
the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01 and any Substitution

(5) Any amounts required to be deposited with respect to
losses on investments of deposits in the Distribution Account; and
(6) Any other amounts received by or on behalf of the Master
Servicer and required to be deposited in the Distribution Account
pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) All amounts deposited to the Distribution Account shall be
held by the Master Servicer in the name of the Trustee in trust for the benefit
of the Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement. The requirements for crediting the Distribution Account shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of (A) late payment charges or
assumption, tax service, statement account or payoff, substitution,
satisfaction, release and other like fees and charges and (B) the items
enumerated in Section 3.21(a) (with respect the clearing and termination of the

3.21(b) or in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), (v) of Section 3.21(c), need
not be credited by the Master Servicer to the Distribution Account. In the event
that the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited to the
Distribution Account any amount not required to be credited thereto, the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of a written request therefor signed by
a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, shall promptly transfer such amount
to the Master Servicer, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) The Trust Administrator may direct any depository
institution maintaining the Distribution Account to invest the funds on deposit
in such account or to hold such funds uninvested. All investments pursuant to
this Section 3.20 shall be in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest
or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other
than the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon or if such investment is
managed or advised by a Person other than the Trust Administrator or an
Affiliate of the Trust Administrator, and (ii) no later than the date on which
such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement, if the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon or if such
investment is managed or advised by the Trust Administrator or any Affiliate.
All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on
demand. Any investment of funds in the Distribution Account shall be made in the
name of the Trustee , or in the name of a nominee of the Trust Administrator.
The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to sole possession over each such
investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such
investment shall be delivered directly to the Trust Administrator or its agent,
together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such
investment to the Trust Administrator or its nominee. In the event amounts on
deposit in the Distribution Account are at any time invested in a Permitted
Investment payable on demand, the Trust Administrator shall:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given
thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such
Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal
to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the
amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that
such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment
in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Distribution Account.
(d) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Master
Servicer. The Trust Administrator deposit in the Distribution Account the amount

or reimbursed itself such amount prior to making any remittance to the Master
Servicer pursuant to the terms of the related Servicing Agreement):
(i) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the related Servicer
for any Advance of its own funds, the right of the Master Servicer or
the related Servicer to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i)

terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from
Real Property;

Prepayment Charges collected by the related Servicer and remitted to the Master
Servicer in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the Mortgage
Loans, and shall distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class P
Certificates. Such distributions shall not be applied to reduce the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class P Certificates.
Following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal to the
amount of Subsequent Recoveries remitted to the Master Servicer shall be applied
to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with
the Highest Priority up to the extent of such Realized Losses previously
allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. An amount
equal to the amount of any remaining Subsequent Recoveries shall be applied to
increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates with the

such Certificates will not be entitled to any distribution in respect of
interest on the amount of such increases for any Accrual Period preceding the
Distribution Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be
applied to the Certificate Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class
in accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.
(b) Distributions made with respect to each Class of
Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated PRO RATA among the
outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage
Interests. Distributions in respect of each Class of Certificates on each
Distribution Date will be made to the Holders of the respective Class of record
on the related Record Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.01(e) or
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates, and
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of
any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities
therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trust Administrator in
writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior
to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Certificates having an
initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount that is in
excess of the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) two-thirds of the initial
Certificate Principal Balance or Notional Amount of such Class of Certificates,
or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such Holder
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 of the Trust Administrator or
such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall have any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or
applicable law.
(c) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the
Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this
Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer shall in any way be responsible or
liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts
properly previously distributed on the Certificates.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the
Trust Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any
Class of Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trust
Administrator shall, no later than three (3) days before the related
Distribution Date, mail to each Holder on such date of such Class of
Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(1) the Trust Administrator expects that the final
distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on
such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator therein
specified, and
(2) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and
after the end of the related Accrual Period.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of
Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of
such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held in trust by the Trust Administrator and credited to the account
of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to
which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(d) shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such
notice, the Trust Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, directly or
through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates but shall continue
to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders.
The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the Trust Fund.
If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall pay to UBS
Securities LLC all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering
Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust
by the Trust Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this
Section 4.01(d). Any such amounts held in trust by the Trust Administrator shall
be held in an Eligible Account and the Trust Administrator may direct any
depository institution maintaining such account to invest the funds in one or
more Permitted Investments. All income and gain realized from the investment of
funds deposited in such accounts held in trust by the Trust Administrator shall
be for the benefit of the Trust Administrator; provided, however, that the Trust
Administrator shall deposit in such account the amount of any loss of principal
incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such
accounts immediately upon the realization of such loss.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no
event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate or a
Mezzanine Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any particular
amount both (a) allocated to such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses
pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b) distributed to the Holder of such Certificate
in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance thereof pursuant to this
Section 4.01 from Net Monthly Excess Cashflow and (ii) in no event shall the
Uncertificated Balance of a REMIC I Regular Interest be reduced more than once
in respect of any particular amount both (a) allocated to such REMIC I Regular
Interest in respect of Realized Losses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (b)
distributed on such REMIC I Regular Interest in reduction of the Uncertificated
Balance thereof pursuant to this Section 4.01.

SECTION 4.03. Advances.
(a) In the event a Servicer fails to make any Advance required
to be made by it under the related Servicing Agreement and such failure is not

terminate such Servicer, and the Master Servicer (in its capacity as successor
Servicer) or another successor Servicer shall be required to make such Advance
on the Distribution Date with respect to which the related Servicer was required

Servicer's) determination of recoverability. The Master Servicer (or other
successor Servicer) shall not be required to make any Advance to cover any
Relief Act Interest Shortfall on any Mortgage Loan. If the Master Servicer (or
other successor Servicer) is required to make any Advances, such advances may be
made by it (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the related Custodial Account or
Distribution Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future
distribution (in which case, it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in
the records of the related Custodial Account or the Distribution Account, as
applicable, that amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by
this Section 4.03, used by the Master Servicer (or other successor Servicer) in
discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in the form of any combination of (i)
and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Advances to be made by the Master
Servicer (or other successor Servicer) with respect to the Mortgage Loans and

records and replaced by the Master Servicer (or other successor Servicer) by

applicable, on or before any future Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that
the Available Funds for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard
to Advances to be made on such Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the
total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for
future distributions had not been so used to make Advances.
(b) The obligation of the Master Servicer (or other successor
Servicer) to make such Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement but subject to Section 4.03(a) above and Section
4.03(c) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall
continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the
removal thereof from REMIC I pursuant to any applicable provision of this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Master Servicer (or other
successor Servicer) if such Advance would, if made, be deemed by the Master
Servicer (or other successor Servicer) to be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The
determination by the Master Servicer (or other successor Servicer) that it has
made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers'
Certificate of the Master Servicer (or other successor Servicer) delivered to
the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Credit Risk Manager and the Trustee.
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall
determine, based on information provided to it by a Servicer, as to each
Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any,
incurred in connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the
related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the respective portions of such Realized
Losses allocable to interest and allocable to principal. Prior to each
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer, based on information provided to it by
the related Servicer, shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (i) the
total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any
Deficient Valuations made during the related Prepayment Period; and (ii) the
total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt
Service Reductions in respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due
Period.
(b) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated by the Trust Administrator on each Distribution Date as follows:
first, to Net Monthly Excess Cashflow; second, to the Class CE Certificates,
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third,
to the Class M-11 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-10 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fifth, to the
Class M-9 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-8 Certificates, until the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class M-7
Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to zero; eighth, to the Class M-6 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; ninth, to the Class M-5 Certificates,
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; tenth,
to the Class M-4 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Class M-3 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; twelfth, to the
Class M-2 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero; and thirteenth, to the Class M-1 Certificates, until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero. All Realized
Losses to be allocated to the Certificate Principal Balances of all Classes on
any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to be
made on such date as provided above. All references above to the Certificate
Principal Balance of any Class of Certificates shall be to the Certificate
Principal Balance of such Class immediately prior to the relevant Distribution
Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses, in each case to be
allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such Distribution Date.
Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate
on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof by the amount so allocated; any allocation of Realized Losses to
a Class CE Certificate shall be made by reducing the amount otherwise payable in
respect thereof pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(5)(iv). No allocations of any
Realized Losses shall be made to the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class
A Certificates or the Class P Certificates.
As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss on a "PRO
RATA basis" among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an
allocation on a PRO RATA basis, among the various Classes so specified, to each
such Class of Certificates on the basis of their then outstanding Certificate
Principal Balances prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such
Distribution Date. All Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class
of Certificates hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class
in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
(c) (1) The REMIC I Marker Percentage of all Realized Losses
on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by the Trust Administrator on each
Distribution Date to the following REMIC I Regular Interests in the specified
percentages, as follows: first, to Uncertificated Interest payable to the REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate
amount equal to the REMIC I Interest Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%,
respectively; second, to the Uncertificated Balances of the REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTAA and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ up to an aggregate amount
equal to the REMIC I Principal Loss Allocation Amount, 98% and 2%, respectively;
third, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTM11 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM11 has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Uncertificated Balances of
REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM10 and REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated
Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM10 has been reduced to zero; fifth, to
the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM9 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM9 has been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM8 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM8 has been reduced to zero; seventh, to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM7 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM7 has been reduced to zero; eighth to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM6 has been reduced to zero; ninth to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM5 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM5 has been reduced to zero; tenth to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I
Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 and REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%, respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance
of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM4 has been reduced to zero; eleventh to the
Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM3 and REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM3 has been reduced to zero; twelfth to the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC
I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM2 and REMIC I Regular

of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTM2 has been reduced to zero; and thirteenth to
the Uncertificated Balances of REMIC I Regular Interest I-LTAA, REMIC I Regular
Interest I-LTM1 and REMIC I Regular Interest II-LTZZ, 98%, 1% and 1%,
respectively, until the Uncertificated Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest
I-LTM1 has been reduced to zero.
SECTION 4.05. Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trust Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements
respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount
that the Trust Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code.
The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In
the event the Trust Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or
original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder
pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trust Administrator shall
indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholders.
SECTION 4.06. Exchange Commission; Additional Information.
(a) With respect to each Distribution Date, prior to the
issuance of the related monthly statement to Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 4.02 (each, a "Distribution Date Statement"), the Master Servicer shall
confirm that it has received all distribution and servicing information required
to be provided to the Master Servicer by the Servicers for inclusion in such
Distribution Date Statement. In the event the Master Servicer determines that
any such information has not been provided as required or is materially
incorrect, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the related Servicer and
use its reasonable best efforts to cause the related Servicer to provide or
correct, as the case may be, such information promptly (but in any event in time
to permit the Master Servicer to distribute the Distribution Date Statement at
the time required in this Agreement).
(b) Promptly upon receipt by the Master Servicer of (i) any
Officers' Certificate relating to a Servicer's annual compliance with the terms
of its Servicing Agreement, (ii) any report of a Servicer's independent public
accountants relating to such Servicer's compliance with servicing standards, as
required under the related Servicing Agreement, and (iii) any report of the
Master Servicer's independent public accountants required pursuant to Section
3.17, the Master Servicer shall review such Officers' Certificate and reports.
As part of the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
Section 4.06, the Master Servicer shall include the related Servicer's annual
statement of compliance (as well as any annual statement of compliance required
pursuant to Section 3.16), and each such accountant's report, as well as a
report of any significant deficiencies relating to such Servicer's performance
of its obligations under its Servicing Agreement.
(c) The Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the
Depositor to enable the Trust Fund to satisfy its reporting requirements under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Master
Servicer shall prepare on behalf of the Trust Fund any Forms 8-K and 10-K
customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Master Servicer shall sign and
file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and
Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Trust Fund.
(d) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Master Servicer within
15 days after each Distribution Date, and shall include a copy of the
Distribution Date Statement for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto.
Prior to March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), the Master
Servicer shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as required by applicable law or
applicable Securities and Exchange Commission staff's interpretations. Such Form
10-K shall include as exhibits the annual statements of compliance, the
accountant's reports and any report of significant deficiencies relating to a
Servicer's performance of its obligations under its Servicing Agreement
described in paragraph (b) of this Section 4.06, in each case to the extent they
have been timely delivered to the Master Servicer. If they are not so timely
delivered, the Master Servicer shall file an amended Form 10-K including such
documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any
failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or
relating to the Master Servicer's inability or failure to obtain any information
not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Each
Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit J-1 or in such other form as may be required by Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14
under the Exchange Act, as applicable, and any directives or interpretations
thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Certification"), which
Certification shall be signed by a Master Servicing Officer.
(e) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy
of any such executed report, statement or information.
(f) Prior to January 30th of the first year in which the
Master Servicer is able to do so under applicable law, the Master Servicer shall
file a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund.
SECTION 4.07. Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall
establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled,
"Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as Trust Administrator, in trust for the registered
holders of MASTR Asset Backed Securities Trust 2005-HE1, Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2005-HE1--Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account." Amounts
deposited in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will include any
payments received by the Trust Administrator under the Cap Contracts and
deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount payable to the Class A Certificates and/or the Mezzanine
Certificates, the Trust Administrator has been directed by the Class CE
Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 4.01(a)(5)(iv),
rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE Certificateholders. On
each such Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall hold all such amounts
for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Class A
Certificates and/or the Mezzanine Certificates in the amounts and priorities set
forth in Section 4.01(a).
For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class CE
Certificateholders will be deemed to be the owners of the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account and all amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC II to the
Holders of the Class CE Interest and by REMIC III to the Holders of the Class CE
Certificates. Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or the payment in full of
the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, all amounts remaining
on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the
Trust Fund and distributed to the Class CE Certificateholders or their
designees. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the Trust
Fund but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Class A
Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
will not be payments with respect to a "regular interest" in a REMIC within the
meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby is
directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts
described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class CE
Certificateholders. By accepting a Class CE Certificate, each Class CE
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by
such acceptance.
At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage
Interest in the Class CE Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall direct any
depository institution maintaining the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account to
invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing
interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no
later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds
are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a
Person other than the Trust Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises
such investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are
required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the
Trust Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no
investment direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the
Class CE Certificates with respect to the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
is received by the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator shall invest the
funds in such account in Permitted Investments managed by the Trust
Administrator or an Affiliate of the kind described in clause (vi) of the
definition of Permitted Investments. All income and gain earned upon such
investment shall be deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
For federal tax return and information reporting, the value of
the right of the Class A Certificateholders and the Mezzanine Certificateholders
to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect
of any Net Wac Rate Carryover Amount is $78,000 and $147,000, respectively.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates in the aggregate will represent the
entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets
included in REMIC I.
The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-18. The Certificates of each Class will be
issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage
Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share
ratably in all rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed by the
Trust Administrator and authenticated and delivered by the Trust Administrator
to or upon the order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed by
manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust Administrator by an
authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Trust Administrator
shall bind the Trust Administrator notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided herein
executed by the Trust Administrator by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
(b) The Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates
shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates held by the Book-Entry
Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as provided below, the
Depository and registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and,
except as provided below, registration of such Certificates may not be
transferred by the Trust Administrator except to another Depository that agrees
to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership
Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective Ownership
Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the
Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be entitled to definitive,
fully registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such
Ownership Interests. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective
Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance
with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm
representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only
transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate
Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in
accordance with the Depository's normal procedures. The Trust Administrator is
hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act
as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has
with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may,
and, if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian
shall, appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trust Administrator, any other transfer agent (including the
Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under
such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or
any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry
Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by
reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository. If the Trust
Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the
successor trust administrator or, if it so elects, the Depository shall
immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The
Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any
Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.
The Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer and
the Depositor may for all purposes (including the making of payments due on the
Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders
hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between
such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms
representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and
votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect
to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trust Administrator may establish a
reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or
voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such
record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge
its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination, Certificate Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51%
of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trust
Administrator through the Depository, 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 Trust Administrator shall notify all Certificate
Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the
same. Upon surrender to the Trust Administrator of the Book-Entry Certificates
by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the
Trust Administrator shall cause the Definitive Certificates to be issued. Such
Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $25,000,
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate in an amount less than $25,000 immediately prior to the issuance of
a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the
amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be liable for any
delay in the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to
be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed
by the Trust Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.
SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) The Trust Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of
the offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trust Administrator in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.11, a Certificate Register for the Certificates
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) No transfer of any Class M-11 Certificate, Class CE
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate (collectively, the
"Private Certificates") shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of
a Private Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification (other
than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the
Depositor to an affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class
CE, Class P or Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture or the
indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such
Certificate from the issuer under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under
the Indenture to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor) the Trustee and
the Certificate Registrar shall each require receipt of: (i) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written
certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and
from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee, substantially in the forms
attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such
registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund
or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer
in its capacity as such or any Sub-Servicer), together with copies of the
written certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the
transfer and/or such Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon which such
Opinion of Counsel is based, if any. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify any
such Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws or to take any
action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer of
such Certificates without registration or qualification. If a transfer of an
Ownership Interest in the Class M-11 Certificates is to be made without
registration under the 1933 Act (other than in connection with the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such
transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a
certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and a
certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee (which in the
case of the Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificateholder and the
Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall be deemed to have represented
such certification), to the effect that, among other things, the transfer is
being made to a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act in accordance with Rule 144A. Any Certificateholder desiring to
effect the transfer of any such Certificate shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor 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.
(c) No transfer of a Private Certificate or any interest
therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any
Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan Assets" of a Plan within the
meaning of the Department of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C. F. R. ss.
2510.3-101 ("Plan Assets"), as certified by such transferee in the form of
Exhibit G, unless the Trust Administrator is provided with an Opinion of Counsel
for the benefit of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor and the
Master Servicer and on which they may rely which establishes to the satisfaction
of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer
that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will
not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
NIMS Insurer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Neither an
Opinion of Counsel nor any certification will be required in connection with the
initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any affiliate thereof shall have
deemed to have represented that such affiliate is not a Plan or a Person
investing Plan Assets) and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the Trust
Administrator, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the
status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.
Each beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate or any
interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its
acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i)
it is not a Plan investor, (ii) for the Mezzanine Certificates, other than the
Class M-11 Certificates, it has acquired and is holding such Mezzanine
Certificates in reliance on the Underwriters' Exemption, and that it understands
that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Underwriters'
Exemption, including that the Mezzanine Certificates must be rated, at the time
of purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Fitch, Xxxxx'x or S&P
or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire
or hold the certificate or interest therein is an "insurance company general
account," as such term is defined in PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in
Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
If any Mezzanine Certificate or Private Certificate or any
interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of the
preceding two paragraphs, the next preceding permitted beneficial owner will be
treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate retroactive to the date of
transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose
acquisition or holding of any such Certificate or interest therein was effected
in violation of the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the Trust Fund from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of
that acquisition or holding.
(d) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or
acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the
following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trust Administrator
or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person
other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under
clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all
other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Trust Administrator of any change or impending
change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trust Administrator shall
require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement
(a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement," in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit F-2) from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trust Administrator, representing and warranting,
among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee,
that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual
Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee,
trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee,
that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and
that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees
to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator who is assigned to this
transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a
Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit
and Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-2 from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership
Interest unless it provides a Transferor Affidavit (in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-2) to the Trust Administrator stating
that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other
Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
Certificate, agrees to give the Trust Administrator written notice that
it is a "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of temporary
Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon
acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or
is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf
of, a "pass-through interest holder."
(ii) The Trust Administrator will register the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have
been reasonably required by the Trust Administrator as a condition to
such registration. In addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate
shall be made unless the Trust Administrator shall have received a
representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate to the
effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of
such Residual Certificate. The Trust Administrator shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or
for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof
or for taking any other action with respect to such holder under the
provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.02(d) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the
rights of the holder of such Residual Certificate as described in
clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then
the Trust Administrator shall have the right, without notice to the
holder or any prior holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such
Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Trust Administrator
on such terms as the Trust Administrator may choose. Such purported
Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate
in accordance with the instructions of the Trust Administrator. Such
purchaser may be the Trust Administrator itself or any Affiliate of the
Trust Administrator. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions
(which may include commissions payable to the Trustee or its
Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the
Trust Administrator to such purported Transferee. The terms and
conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined
in the sole discretion of the Trust Administrator, and the Trust
Administrator shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
(iv) The Trust Administrator shall make available to the
Internal Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC
Provisions all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as
a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including
the information described in Treasury regulations sections
1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess
inclusions" of such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any
regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common
Trust, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section
1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person
which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable compensation for
providing such information may be accepted by the Trust Administrator.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to
this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided
that there shall have been delivered to the Trust Administrator and the
NIMS Insurer at the expense of the party seeking to modify, add to or
eliminate any such provision the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect
that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions
will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings
of any Class of Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, to the effect that
such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions
will not cause any Trust REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will
not cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to an entity-level tax caused
by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee or a Person other than the prospective transferee
to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
The Trust Administrator shall forward to the NIMS Insurer a
copy of the items delivered to it pursuant to (A) and (B) above.
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trust
Administrator maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.11, the Trust
Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class of a like aggregate Percentage Interest.
(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may
be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such
Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trust Administrator
maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.11. Whenever any Certificates
are so surrendered for exchange, the Trust Administrator shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trust Administrator) be
duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the
form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator duly executed by, the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In addition, (i) with
respect to each Class R Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the
manner described above, such Class R Certificate for two separate certificates,
each representing such holder's respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-I
Interest and the Class R-II Interest, respectively, in each case that was
evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and (ii) with respect to
each Class R-X Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange, in the manner
described above, such Class R-X Certificate for two separate certificates, each
representing such holder's respective Percentage Interest in the Class R-III
Interest and the Class R-IV Interest, respectively, in each case that was
evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.
(g) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made
for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange
shall be canceled and destroyed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with
its customary procedures.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trust
Administrator, or the Trust Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is
delivered to the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer such
security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the
absence of actual knowledge by the Trust Administrator that such Certificate has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser or the Trust Administrator shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and
of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section, the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator) connected therewith. Any replacement
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as
if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the
Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or any agent of
any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Certain Available Information.
On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Private
Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the
Trust Administrator ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other
disclosure document used by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale
of such Certificates. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or
disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following
the delivery thereof to the Trust Administrator, the Depositor promptly shall
inform the Trust Administrator of such event and shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator ten copies of the private placement memorandum or disclosure
document, as revised, amended or supplemented. The Trust Administrator shall
maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and shall make available free of charge
during normal business hours for review by any Holder of a Certificate or any
Person identified to the Trust Administrator as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, originals or copies of the following items: (i) in the case of a
Holder or prospective transferee of a Private Certificate, the related private
placement memorandum or other disclosure document relating to such Class of
Certificates, in the form most recently provided to the Trust Administrator; and
(ii) in all cases, (A) this Agreement and any amendments hereof entered into
pursuant to Section 11.01, (B) all monthly statements required to be delivered
to Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to Section 4.02 since the
Closing Date, and all other notices, reports, statements and written

ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
by this Agreement upon them in their respective capacities as Depositor and
Master Servicer and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master
Servicer herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in
full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph,
the Master Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a national banking association and shall ensure that it (or an
Affiliate) maintains its qualification as an approved conventional
seller/servicer for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor
and the Master Servicer each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do
business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
The Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of
its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may
be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agencies'
ratings of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will not be qualified, reduced
or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from
the Rating Agencies).
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and Others.
(a) Subject, in the case of the Master Servicer, to the
obligation of the Master Servicer to indemnify the Indemnified Persons pursuant
to Section 6.04 below, none of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master
Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor
or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment;
provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties,
representations or covenants made herein, or against any specific liability
imposed on the Master Servicer pursuant hereto, or against any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer or the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any
kind which, PRIMA FACIE, is properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder.
The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind
prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. In taking or recommending any course of action pursuant to
this Agreement, unless specifically required to do so pursuant to this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be required to investigate or make
recommendations concerning potential liabilities which the Trust might incur as
a result of such course of action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged
Properties but shall give notice to the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer if it has
notice of such potential liabilities. The Master Servicer shall not be liable
for any acts or omissions of any Servicer, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein.
(b) The Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense incurred
in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense relating to any specific
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense
shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
Each Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of
such Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against
any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with (a) any legal action
relating to its Servicing Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss,
liability or expense relating to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans
(except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable
pursuant to its Servicing Agreement) or any loss, liability or expense incurred
by such Servicer other than any loss, liability or expense (i) incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
duties under its Servicing Agreement, (ii) in connection with any event of
default under its Servicing Agreement or (iii) by reason of reckless disregard
of obligations and duties or by reason of a breach of any obligations and duties
under its Servicing Agreement and (b) any breach of a representation or warranty
regarding the Mortgage Loans (but only to the extent of amounts paid by the
related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, to the Trust Fund pursuant to
its obligations under the related Master Agreement or Section 7 of the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable).
(c) The Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held
harmless thereby against any loss, liability or expense including reasonable
legal fees and disbursements of counsel incurred by the Master Servicer
sustained in connection with, arising out of, or related to, any claim or legal
action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to
this Agreement, the Certificates or the Servicing Agreements or otherwise
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the
obligations and duties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or the
Servicing Agreements, other than any loss, liability or expense (i) that does
not constitute an "unanticipated expense" within the meaning of the REMIC
Provisions, (ii) that is specifically required to be incurred by the Master
Servicer without right of reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) for
which the Master Servicer receives indemnification, from the Servicers or
otherwise, pursuant to the Servicer Assignment Agreements or the Servicing
Agreements, (iv) in the case of the Master Servicer, that constitutes a
Servicing Advance relating to a specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans for
which the Master Servicer's entitlement to reimbursement shall be governed by
Section 3.21 or (v) that is incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence of the Master Servicer in the performance of its duties hereunder,
or by reason of the Master Servicer's reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder, or as a result of a breach of the Master Servicer's
obligations under Article X hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master
Servicer shall be acting as successor to the Servicer under the related
Servicing Agreement, the provisions of Section 6.03(d), and not the provisions
of this Section 6.03(c), shall govern the Trust Fund's indemnification of the
Master Servicer when it is acting in such capacity.
(d) The Master Servicer, if it shall be acting in a capacity
as successor Servicer, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Master Servicer shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against
any loss, liability or expense, including reasonable legal fees and
disbursements of counsel, incurred in connection with the Master Servicer's
acting in such capacity and sustained in connection with, arising out of, or
related to, any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim
or legal action) relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or the related
Servicing Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense to any specific
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense
shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
(e) None of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Master
Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this
Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability;
provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master
Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem
necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties
of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In
such event, unless the Depositor or the Master Servicer acts without the consent
of Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, the
legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom
(except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder) shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor from the Distribution Account as an Extraordinary Trust Fund
Expense, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Distribution Account. Nothing in
this Section 6.03(e) shall affect the Master Servicer's obligation to supervise,
or to take such actions as are necessary to ensure, the servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.01.
SECTION 6.04. Indemnification from the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Indemnified
Persons for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
(including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred on their
part that may be sustained in connection with, arising out of, or relating to,
any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal
action) relating to this Agreement or the Certificates or the powers of attorney
delivered by the Trustee hereunder (i) related to the Master Servicer's failure
to perform its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such
loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this
Agreement) or (ii) incurred by reason of the Master Servicer's willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties
hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder, provided, in each case, that with respect to any such claim or legal
action (or pending or threatened claim or legal action), the Trustee shall have
given the Master Servicer and the Depositor written notice thereof promptly
after the Trustee shall have with respect to such claim or legal action
knowledge thereof. The Master Servicer's failure to receive any such notice
shall not affect any Indemnified Person's right to indemnification under this
Section 6.04, except to the extent the Master Servicer is materially prejudiced
by such failure to give notice. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Trustee, Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator and the
termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.04, "Indemnified
Persons" means the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and their officers, directors,
agents and employees and, with respect to the Trustee, any separate co-trustee
and its officers, directors, agents and employees.
SECTION 6.05. Limitation on Resignation of the Master
Servicer; Assignment of Master Servicing.
(a) The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations
and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor
master servicer and receipt by the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer of a letter from
each Rating Agency that such a resignation and appointment will not result in a
downgrading of the rating of any of the Certificates, (b) upon determination
that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (c)
pursuant to Section 6.05(b). 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 and the NIMS Insurer. No such
resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor master
servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties,
liabilities and obligations hereunder.
(b) The Master Servicer may sell, assign or delegate its
rights, duties and obligations as Master Servicer under this Agreement in their
entirety; provided, however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting
such sale, assignment and delegation (a) shall be a Person qualified to service
mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not
less than $50,000,000 (unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant
to clause (ii) below); (c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the NIMS Insurer
and the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by each of the NIMS Insurer
and the Trustee); and (d) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the NIMS
Insurer an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee and the NIMS Insurer, which contains an assumption by such Person of the
due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be
performed or observed by it as master servicer under this Agreement from and
after the effective date of such assumption agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency
shall be given prior written notice of the identity of the proposed successor to
the Master Servicer and shall confirm in writing to the Master Servicer, the
NIMS Insurer and the Trustee that any such sale, assignment or delegation would
not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading of the rating on any Class of
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such sale, assignment or delegation;
and (iii) the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to such action under this Agreement have been fulfilled and such
action is permitted by and complies with the terms of this Agreement. No such
sale, assignment or delegation shall affect any liability of the Master Servicer
arising prior to the effective date thereof.
SECTION 6.06. Successor Master Servicer.
In connection with the appointment of any successor Master
Servicer or the assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Depositor,
the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation
of such successor Master Servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee and such successor Master Servicer
shall agree. If the successor Master Servicer does not agree that such market
value is a fair price, such successor Master Servicer shall obtain two
quotations of market value from third parties actively engaged in the master
servicing of single-family mortgage loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
compensation payable to a successor Master Servicer may not exceed the
compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the
Master Servicer had continued to act as Master Servicer hereunder.
SECTION 6.07. Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee, upon five (5) Business Days prior notice, during normal
business hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer in
respect of the Master Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder and access to
officers of the Master Servicer responsible for such obligations. Upon request,
the Master Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the
Trustee its most recent financial statements and such other information relating
to the Master Servicer's capacity to perform its obligations under this
Agreement as it possesses. To the extent such information is not otherwise
available to the public, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee shall
not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences
without the Master Servicer's written consent, except as required pursuant to
this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working
with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies
or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction
or decree of any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the
Depositor and the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor, the
NIMS Insurer or the Trustee as the case may be, shall use its best efforts to
assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. 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 or exercise the 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. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability
for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated to
supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or
otherwise.
SECTION 6.08. Duties of the Credit Risk Manager.
For and on behalf of the Depositor, the Credit Risk Manager
will provide reports and recommendations concerning certain delinquent and
defaulted Mortgage Loans, and as to the collection of any Prepayment Charges
with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Such reports and recommendations will be
based upon information provided to the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to the
respective Credit Risk Management Agreement, and the Credit Risk Manager shall
look solely to the Servicers and/or Master Servicer, as applicable, for all
information and data (including loss and delinquency information and data)
relating to the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans. Upon any termination of
the Credit Risk Manager or the appointment of a successor Credit Risk Manager,
the Depositor shall give written notice thereof to each Servicer, the Trustee,
the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and each Rating Agency.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Credit Risk Manager
pursuant to this Section shall not become effective until the appointment of a
successor Credit Risk Manager.
SECTION 6.09. Limitation Upon Liability of the Credit Risk
Manager.
Neither the Credit Risk Manager, nor any of its directors,
officers, employees, or agents shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the
Certificateholders, the Trust Administrator or the Depositor for any action
taken or for refraining from the taking of any action made in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information provided by the
Servicers under the related Credit Risk Management Agreement, or for errors in
judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Credit
Risk Manager or any such person against liability that would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful malfeasance or bad faith in its performance of its
duties. The Credit Risk Manager and any director, officer, employee, or agent of
the Credit Risk Manager may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima
facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder, and may rely in good faith upon the accuracy of information
furnished by a Servicer pursuant to the applicable Credit Risk Management
Agreement in the performance of its duties thereunder and hereunder.
SECTION 6.10. Removal of the Credit Risk Manager.
The Credit Risk Manager may be removed as Credit Risk Manager
by Certificateholders holding not less than 66 2/3% of the Voting Rights in the
Trust Fund, in the exercise of its or their sole discretion. The
Certificateholders shall provide written notice of the Credit Risk Manager's
removal to the Trustee. Upon receipt of such notice, the Trustee shall provide
written notice to the Credit Risk Manager of its removal, which shall be
effective upon receipt of such notice by the Credit Risk Manager.

(a) "Master Servicer Event of Termination," wherever used
herein, means any one of the following events:
(i) the Master Servicer fails to cause to be deposited in the
Distribution Account any amount so required to be deposited pursuant to
this Agreement (other than an Advance), and such failure continues
unremedied for a period of three Business Days after the date upon
which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer; or
(ii) the Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any
material respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth
in this Agreement to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements
materially affect the rights of Certificateholders, and such failure
continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which
written notice of such failure, properly requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee
or the NIMS Insurer or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting
Rights; or
(iii) there is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or
order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or
liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or
order is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or
an involuntary case is commenced against the Master Servicer under any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute and the petition is not
dismissed within 60 days after the commencement of the case; or
(iv) the Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of
or relating to the Master Servicer or substantially all of its
property; or the Master Servicer admits in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take
advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes
an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends
payment of its obligations; or
(v) the Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or
rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions
permitting such assignment or delegation under Section 6.05; or
(vi) any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advance
(other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) required to be made from its own
funds pursuant to Section 4.03 by 5:00 p.m. New York time on the
Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date.
In each and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer
Event of Termination with respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been
remedied, either the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting Rights, by notice in writing to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by such
Certificateholders), with a copy to the NIMS Insurer and the Rating Agencies,
may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and/or the
REO Property master serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof.
Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of the written notice, all authority and
power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, REO Property or under any other related
agreements (but only to the extent that such other agreements relate to the
Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject to Section 7.02,
automatically and without further action pass to and be vested in the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master
Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other
instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's rights and
obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the
Trustee of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the
Trust Fund or which thereafter become part of the Trust Fund; and (ii) originals
or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the
Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's duties thereunder. In
addition to any other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the
termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable to the
Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received as
reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of termination had not been given.
The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not
affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such
termination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Master Servicer Event of
Termination described in clause (vi) of this Section 7.01 shall occur, the
Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be
delivered by telecopy, immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without
prejudice to any rights it may have as a Certificateholder or to reimbursement
of Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as
provided in Section 7.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer,
including the obligation to make any Advance the nonpayment of which was a
Master Servicer Event of Termination described in clause (vi) of this Section
7.01. Any such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to the distribution on
the relevant Distribution Date.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or an Opinion of Counsel rendered by
Independent counsel pursuant to Section 6.05 to the effect that the Master
Servicer is legally unable to act or to delegate its duties to a Person which is
legally able to act, the Trustee shall automatically become the successor in all
respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall thereafter be subject to
all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever
with respect to any liability (other than Advances deemed recoverable and not
previously made) incurred by the Master Servicer at or prior to the time of
termination. As compensation therefor, but subject to Section 6.06, the Trustee
shall be entitled to compensation which the Master Servicer would have been
entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except
for those amounts due the Master Servicer as reimbursement permitted under this
Agreement for advances previously made or expenses previously incurred.
Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act,
or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance
institution which is a Xxxxxx Xxx- or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved servicer, and with
respect to a successor to the Master Servicer only, having a net worth of not
less than $10,000,000, as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, that the Trustee shall obtain consent
from the NIMS Insurer and a letter or other evidence each Rating Agency that the
ratings, if any, on each of the Certificates will not be lowered as a result of
the selection of the successor to the Master Servicer. Pending appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such
capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 6.06 shall apply, the
compensation shall not be in excess of that which the Master Servicer would have
been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, and that
such successor shall undertake and assume the obligations of the Trustee to pay
compensation to any third Person acting as an agent or independent contractor in
the performance of master servicing responsibilities hereunder. The Trustee and
such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
All reasonable Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid by the
predecessor Master Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of
such costs, and if such predecessor Master Servicer defaults in its obligation
to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Master Servicer or
the Trustee (in which case the successor Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from the assets of the
Trust Fund).
(b) If the Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master
Servicer respecting the Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a
separate capacity and not in its capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the
provisions of Article VIII shall be inapplicable to the Trustee in its duties as
the successor to the Master Servicer in the master servicing of the Mortgage
Loans (although such provisions shall continue to apply to the Trustee in its
capacity as Trustee); the provisions of Article VI, however, shall apply to it
in its capacity as successor Master Servicer.
SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trustee (or such other successor Trust
Administrator) shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders,
the Servicers and the NIMS Insurer at their respective addresses appearing in
the Certificate Register.
(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence
of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Termination or five days after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an
event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the NIMS Insurer and to all Holders
of Certificates notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master
Servicer Event of Termination shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Termination.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights
(with the consent of the NIMS Insurer) evidenced by all Classes of Certificates
affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of Termination hereunder may
waive such default or Master Servicer Event of Termination; provided, however,
that a default or Master Servicer Event of Termination under clause (i) or (vii)
of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular
Certificates (with the consent of the NIMS Insurer). Upon any such waiver of a
default or Master Servicer Event of Termination, such default or Master Servicer
Event of Termination shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Termination or impair
any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. Notice of
any such waiver shall be given by the Trustee to the Rating Agencies and the
NIMS Insurer.
SECTION 7.05. Survivability of Master Servicer Liabilities.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon
termination of the Master Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Master
Servicer which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such termination.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee and Trust Administrator.
The Trustee and the Trust Administrator, prior to the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing of all
Master Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, undertakes to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. If a Master Servicer Event of Termination has occurred (which has not
been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has knowledge, each of the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested
in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt
of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents,
orders or other instruments furnished to it which are specifically required to
be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to
determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement; provided,
however, that neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator will be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents or other instruments. If any such
instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a
material manner the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall
take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and
if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's
satisfaction, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, will
provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and the NIMS Insurer.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator from liability for its own negligent
action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided,
however, that:
(1) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination, and after the curing of all such Master Servicer Events of
Termination which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator 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 or the Trust Administrator and, in the absence of
bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, 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 or the Trust Administrator, as the
case may be, and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(2) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as the case may be, was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;
(3) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
51% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator, as applicable, or exercising or omitting to
exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
Agreement; and
(4) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be
deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default or Master Servicer
Event of Termination unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the
Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the
Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Depositor, the
Servicer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of
the Voting Rights.
Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible
for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be
the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges
of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Depositor hereby directs the Trust Administrator to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Cap Contracts on the
Closing Date and thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the Class A Certificates
and the Mezzanine Certificates. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Holders of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates by their
acceptance of such Certificates acknowledge and agree that the Trust
Administrator shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Cap
Contracts and shall do so solely in its capacity as Trust Administrator of the
Trust Fund and not in its individual capacity.
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(1) Either the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may request
and rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from
acting upon, any resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate of
auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper
or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or presented by the proper party or parties, and the manner of
obtaining consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may prescribe;
(2) Either the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may consult
with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
Opinion of Counsel;
(3) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation
hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of
any of the Certificateholders or the NIMS Insurer, pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the
NIMS Insurer, as applicable, shall have offered to the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, reasonable security or indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred
therein or thereby; the right of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not
be construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall be answerable for other than its negligence or
willful misconduct in the performance of any such act; nothing
contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation,
upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination of which
the Trustee has received written notice or of which a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge (which has not been cured
or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in
the conduct of his own affairs;
(4) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Master
Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, neither the
Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by
it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(5) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of
Termination which may have occurred, neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
bond or other paper or documents, unless requested in writing to do so
by the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
25% of the Voting Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within
a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred
by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, not reasonably
assured to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, by
the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, may require reasonable
indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to
such proceeding; and
(6) Either the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may execute
any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder
either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, custodians or
nominees.
(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of
the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the
possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or
other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all
the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
(c) The Trust Administrator is hereby directed by the
Depositor to execute and deliver the Cap Contracts on behalf of the Trust Fund
in the form presented to it by the Depositor.
SECTION 8.03. Neither Trustee nor Trust Administrator Liable
for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the signature of the Trust Administrator, the authentication of the Trust
Administrator on the Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained
in Article II and the representations and warranties of the Trustee and the
Trust Administrator in Section 8.13) shall be taken as the statements of the
Depositor and neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator assumes any
responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator makes any representations or warranties as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as specifically set forth in Section
8.12) or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trust
Administrator and authentication of the Trust Administrator on the Certificates)
or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor
of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the
use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in
respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Distribution
Account by the Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee and Trust Administrator May Own
Certificates.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator in its
individual capacity or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable. Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator in
its individual capacity or any other capacity may transact any banking and trust
business with the Originator, the Servicers, the Depositor or their Affiliates.
SECTION 8.05. Trust Administrator's and Trustee's Fees and
Expenses.
On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall
withdraw from the Distribution Account and pay to itself the Administration Fee.
The annual fees of the Trustee hereunder and of the Custodian shall be paid in
accordance with side letter agreements with the Trust Administrator and at the
sole expense of the Trust Administrator. The Trustee, the Trust Administrator or
any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them, shall be indemnified by
the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not
including expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, including the compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee's
or the Trust Administrator's performance in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee or by the Trust Administrator arising
out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the obligations
and duties of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator under this Agreement, other
than any loss, liability or expense (i) resulting from a breach of a Servicer's
or the Master Servicer's obligations and duties under the related Servicing
Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable, for which the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, is indemnified under the related Servicing
Agreement or under Section 6.04 of this Agreement, as applicable or (ii) any
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence of the Trustee or of the Trust Administrator, as applicable, in
the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of the Trustee's or the
Trust Administrator's, as applicable, reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder or as a result of a breach of the Trustee's or the Trust
Administrator's, as applicable, obligations under Article X hereof. It is
understood by the parties hereto that the Custodian is entitled to
indemnification from the Trust pursuant to Section 11 of the Custodial
Agreement. Any amounts payable to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
in respect of the indemnification provided by this Section 8.05, or pursuant to
any other right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund that the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, may have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be
withdrawn by the Trust Administrator for payment to the applicable indemnified
Person from the Distribution Account at any time. The foregoing indemnity shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and Trust
Administrator.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereunder
shall at all times be an entity duly organized and validly existing under the
laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined
capital and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
The principal offices of each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (other
than the initial Trustee and initial Trust Administrator) shall be in a state
with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee
or Trust Administrator, as applicable, at the time such Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, is appointed Trustee or Trust Administrator, as
applicable, to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under the
laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
8.06, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee or Trust
Administrator.
The Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time resign
and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice
thereof to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Servicers, the Master Servicer,
each Rating Agency and, if the Trustee is resigning, to the Trust Administrator,
or, if the Trust Administrator is resigning, to the Trustee. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
or Trust Administrator, (which may be the same Person in the event both the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator resign or are removed) acceptable to the
NIMS Insurer by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Trust Administrator, as
applicable, and one copy to the successor Trustee or Trust Administrator. If no
successor Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall have been so
appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or Trust Administrator may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable.
If at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall
fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or the NIMS
Insurer (or in the case of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee), or if at any
time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be legally unable to act, or
shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, then the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Master Servicer may
remove the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable. If the Depositor
or the Master Servicer removes the Trustee or the Trust Administrator under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, acceptable to
the NIMS Insurer, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Trust Administrator so removed
and one copy to the successor Trustee or Trust Administrator.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights (or the NIMS Insurer upon failure of the Trustee to perform its
obligations hereunder) may at any time remove the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator and appoint a successor trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee or Trust
Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A
copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the
Master Servicer by the Depositor.
The Trust Administrator (i) may not be an Originator, a
Servicer, the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor unless the Trust
Administrator is an institutional trust department, (ii) must be authorized to
exercise corporate trust powers under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization, and (iii) must be rated at least "A/F1" by Fitch, if Fitch is a
Rating Agency, or the equivalent rating by S&P or Xxxxx'x, or such other rating
as is acceptable to Fitch as evidenced by a Rating Agency confirmation. If no
successor Trust Administrator shall have been appointed and shall have accepted
appointment within 60 days after the Trust Administrator ceases to be the Trust
Administrator pursuant to this Section 8.07, then the Trustee shall perform the
duties of the Trust Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee shall
notify the Rating Agencies of any change of Trust Administrator.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or Trust
Administrator and appointment of a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective
until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section
8.08.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator shall at all times be the same
Person.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee or Trust Administrator.
Any successor Trustee or Trust Administrator appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee
or Trust Administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and
thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee or Trust
Administrator shall become effective, and such successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee or Trust
Administrator. The Depositor and the predecessor Trustee or Trust Administrator
shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the
successor Trustee Trust Administrator all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
No successor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall accept
appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor Trustee or
Trust Administrator shall not result in a downgrading of the Regular
Certificates by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating
Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator as provided in this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor Trustee or
Trust Administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses
as shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Trust
Administrator.
Any entity into which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the
business of the Trustee or Trust Administrator, shall be the successor of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator hereunder, as applicable, provided such
entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and 8.08, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Trustee shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to
appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and the NIMS 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 REMIC I, and to vest in such Person or
Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. Any such co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the
written approval of the NIMS Insurer. If the NIMS Insurer shall not have joined
in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do
so, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of
eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to
Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate
trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to a defaulting 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 REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction
of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trust 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 NIMS Insurer.
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 or co-trustee.
SECTION 8.11. Appointment of Office or Agency; Appointment of
Custodian.
The Trust Administrator will appoint an office or agency in
the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota where the Certificates may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange, and presented for final distribution, and
where notices and demands to or upon the Trust Administrator in respect of the
Certificates and this Agreement may be served.
The Trustee may, with the consent of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the NIMS Insurer, appoint a Custodian to hold all or a portion of
the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into the Custodial
Agreement. The appointment of the Custodian may at any time be terminated and a
substitute Custodian appointed therefor upon the reasonable request of the
Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer to the Trustee, the consent to which shall
not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee initially appoints Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company as Custodian for the Deutsche Bank Files and the Trust
Administrator as custodian for all but one of the remainder of the Files, which
the Trustee shall hold as custodian, and the Depositor and the Master Servicer
each consent to such appointment. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Trustee
agrees to comply with the terms of a Custodial Agreement and to enforce the
terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian, if applicable, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders having an interest in any Mortgage File held
by the Custodian. The Custodian shall be a depository institution or trust
company subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have
combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and shall be qualified to
do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Subject to
Section 8.02(a), in no event shall the appointment of the Custodian pursuant to
the Custodial Agreement diminish the obligations of the Trustee hereunder.
SECTION 8.12. Representations and Warranties.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereby
represents and warrants to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, as of the
Closing Date, that:
(1) It is a national banking association duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United
States of America.
(2) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and
the performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it,
will not violate its articles of association or bylaws or constitute a
default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both,
would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any
material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which
is applicable to it or any of its assets.
(3) It has the full power and authority to enter into and
consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,
and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.
(4) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and
binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the
terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles
of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.
(5) It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery
of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of
this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order
or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority,
which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely
to affect materially and adversely either the ability of it to perform
its obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.
(6) No litigation is pending or, to the best of its knowledge,
threatened against it, which would prohibit it from entering into this
Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is likely to
materially and adversely affect either the ability of it to perform its
obligations under this Agreement or its financial condition.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of
All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee (other than the obligations of the Master
Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.04 and of the Master Servicer to
provide for and the Trust Administrator to make payments in respect of the REMIC
I Regular Interests and the Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth)
shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all
amounts held by or on behalf of the Trust Administrator and required hereunder
to be so paid or deposited on the Distribution Date coinciding with or following
the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the Terminator (as defined below) of
all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the final
payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in
no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St.
Xxxxx, living on the date hereof and (ii) the Last Scheduled Distribution Date.
Subject to Section 3.10 hereof, the purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price (the
"Termination Price") equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans and the appraised value of any REO Properties, such appraisal
to be conducted by an Independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the
Terminator and the Trust Administrator in their reasonable discretion and (ii)
the fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC I (as determined by the
Terminator and the Trust Administrator, as of the close of business on the third
Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such termination
is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 9.01)
in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average
of the Mortgage Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the final
Distribution Date plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances, any unpaid
Servicing Fees and Administration Fees allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties, any accrued and unpaid Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount; provided,
however, such option may only be exercised if (i) the Termination Price is
sufficient to pay all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to
retire the principal balance of, each class of notes issued pursuant to the
Indenture and any remaining amounts owed to the trustee under the Indenture and
the NIMS Insurer on the date such notes are retired and (ii) the fair market
value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties determined as described above is
at least equal to the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving
effect to scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to
the extent received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal
received during the related Prepayment Period) and the appraised value of the
REO Properties.
(b) The majority holder of the Class CE Certificates (so long
as such holder is not an affiliate of the Seller) or if such majority holder
fails to exercise such right, the Master Servicer (or if the Master Servicer
fails to exercise such right, the NIMS Insurer) shall have the right (the party
exercising such right, the "Terminator"), to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) of the
preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in the month
immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates will be
retired; provided, however, that the Terminator may elect to purchase all of the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i)
above only if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and
each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of such election is
equal to or less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. In addition, to the extent that the
majority holder of the Class CE Certificates, the Master Servicer or the NIMS
Insurer, if any, has not exercised such option, the Servicers, individually or
collectively, may purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties and
retire the Certificates when the aggregate current principal balance of mortgage
loans and any REO properties is equal to or less than 5% of the aggregate State
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date. By acceptance of
the Residual Certificates, the Holder of the Residual Certificates agrees for so
long as any notes insured by the NIMS Insurer and secured by all or a portion of
the Class CE, Class P or Class R Certificates are outstanding, in connection
with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer any amounts in excess of
par, and to the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such
amounts to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.
(c) Notice of the liquidation of the Certificates shall be
given promptly by the Trust Administrator by letter to Certificateholders and
the NIMS Insurer mailed (a) in the event such notice is given in connection with
the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property by the Terminator, not
earlier than the 10th day and not later than the 20th day of the month next
preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b)
otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the
Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution
Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and the final payment in respect
of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the
Trust Administrator therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final
payment, (iii) that no interest shall accrue in respect of the REMIC I Regular
Interests or the Certificates from and after the Accrual Period relating to the
final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trust
Administrator. In the event such notice is given in connection with the purchase
of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the
Terminator, the Terminator shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit
in the Distribution Account not later than the last Business Day of the month
next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates an amount
in immediately available funds equal to the Termination Price. Upon
certification to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator by the Terminator of
the making of such final deposit, the Trust Administrator shall promptly release
to the Terminator the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the
Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments
necessary to effectuate such transfer.
(d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall
distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its
Certificates the amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and
surrendered. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates
being retired on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or
Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held
in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or
Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this
Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months
after the time specified in such notice, the Trust Administrator shall mail a
second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender
their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution
with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust
Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to the
remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of
contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in
the Trust Fund. If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall
pay to UBS Securities LLC all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering
Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust
by the Trust Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this
Section 9.01. Any such amounts held in trust by the Trust Administrator shall be
held in an Eligible Account and the Trust Administrator may direct any
depository institution maintaining such account to invest the funds in one or
more Permitted Investments. All income and gain realized from the investment of
funds deposited in such accounts held in trust by the Trust Administrator shall
be for the benefit of the Trust Administrator; provided, however, that the Trust
Administrator shall deposit in such account the amount of any loss of principal
incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such
accounts immediately upon the realization of such loss.
Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder
in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.
SECTION 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Terminator purchases all the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or the final payment on or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I
pursuant to Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with
the following additional requirements, unless the Trust Administrator and the
Master Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel
shall be at the expense of the Terminator (or in connection with a termination
resulting from the final payment on or other liquidation of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I, which Opinion of Counsel shall be at
the expense of the person seeking nonadherence to the following additional
requirements but which in no event shall be at the expense of the Trust Fund or,
unless it is the person seeking nonadherence to the following additional
requirements, the Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator), to the effect
that the failure of REMIC I to comply with such additional requirements of this
Section 9.02 will not (A) result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of taxes on
"prohibited transactions," as described in Section 860F of the Code, or (B)
cause REMIC I to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is
outstanding:
(1) The Trust Administrator shall specify the first day in the
90-day liquidation period in a statement attached to each Trust REMIC's
final Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-1 and
shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section
860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Terminator;
(2) During such 90-day liquidation period and, at or prior to
the time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the
Trustee shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I to the Terminator for
cash; and
(3) At the time of the making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall distribute or credit, or
cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual
Certificates all cash on hand in the Trust Fund (other than cash
retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund shall terminate at that
time.
(b) At the expense of the Terminator, the Depositor shall
prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in connection with
the adoption of a plan of liquidation of each Trust REMIC pursuant to this
Section 9.02.
(c) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof
hereby agree to authorize the Trust Administrator to specify the 90-day
liquidation period for each Trust REMIC, which authorization shall be binding
upon all successor Certificateholders.
ARTICLE X
REMIC PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. REMIC Administration.
(a) The Trustee shall elect to treat each Trust REMIC as a
REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Each such
election will be made by the Trustee on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal
tax or information return or any appropriate state return for the taxable year
ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are
issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of REMIC I, the REMIC
I Regular Interests shall be designated as the Regular Interests in REMIC I and
the Class R-I Interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in REMIC I.
The Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates (exclusive of the right to
receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account), the Class CE
Interest and the Class P Interest shall be designated as the Regular Interests
in REMIC II and the Class R-II Interest shall be designated as the Residual
Interest in REMIC II. The CE Certificates shall be designated as the Regular
Interests in REMIC III and the Class R-III Interest shall be designated as the
Residual Interest in REMIC III. The P Certificates shall be designated as the
Regular Interests in REMIC IV and the Class R-IV Interest shall be designated as
the Residual Interest in REMIC IV. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall permit the creation of any "interests" in any Trust REMIC
(within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than the REMIC I Regular
Interests, the Class CE Interest, the Class P Interest and the interests
represented by the Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day"
of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The Trust Administrator shall be reimbursed for any and
all expenses relating to any tax audit of the Trust Fund (including, but not
limited to, any professional fees or any administrative or judicial proceedings
with respect to any Trust REMIC that involve the Internal Revenue Service or
state tax authorities), including the expense of obtaining any tax related
Opinion of Counsel except as specified herein. The Trust Administrator, as agent
for each Trust REMIC's tax matters person shall (i) act on behalf of the Trust
Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving any Trust REMIC and
(ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding
relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with
respect thereto. The holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Residual
Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury
regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section
301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of the related REMIC created
hereunder. By their acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest Percentage
Interest of the Residual Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the
Trust Administrator or an Affiliate as its agent to perform all of the duties of
the tax matters person for the Trust Fund.
(d) The Trust Administrator shall prepare, sign and file all
of the Tax Returns (including Form 8811, which must be filed within 30 days
following the Closing Date) in respect of each Trust REMIC. The expenses of
preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trust Administrator
without any right of reimbursement therefor.
(e) The Trust Administrator shall perform on behalf of each
Trust REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other
compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local
taxing authority. Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC
Provisions or other such compliance guidance, the Trust Administrator shall
provide (i) to any Transferor of a Residual Certificate such information as is
necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual
Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the
Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or
the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue
discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption as
required) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and
telephone number of the person who will serve as the representative of each
Trust REMIC. The Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trust
Administrator, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or
data that the Trust Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax
purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including,
without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash
flow of the Certificates.
(f) The Trust Administrator shall take such action and shall
cause each Trust REMIC to take such action as shall be necessary to create or
maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions. Neither the
Trust Administrator nor the Trustee shall take any action or cause the Trust
Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any
action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may
be, could (i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result
in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the
tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and
the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code)
(either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the NIMS Insurer have received an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (at the expense of the
party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated action will not,
with respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the
imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect
to any Trust REMIC or the respective assets of each, or causing any Trust REMIC
to take any action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement,
any holder of a Residual Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer or their respective
designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an
Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any Trust REMIC and such Person
shall not take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action
as to which the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the
NIMS Insurer has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
The Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer
may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall
be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this
Agreement, but in no event shall such cost be an expense of the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer. At all times as may be required by
the Code, the Trust Administrator will ensure that substantially all of the
assets of REMIC I will consist of "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code, to the extent such obligations are within the Trust
Administrator's control and not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of any REMIC created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of
the Code, on the "net income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined
in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to any such REMIC after the
Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax
is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws,
such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section
10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trust
Administrator of any of its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results
from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Article X,
(iii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax
arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its
obligations under Article III or this Article X, or (iv) against amounts on
deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) On or before April 15th of each calendar year, commencing
April 15, 2006, the Trust Administrator shall deliver to each Rating Agency and
the NIMS Insurer an Officer's Certificate of the Trust Administrator stating the
Trust Administrator's compliance with this Article X (without regard to any
action taken by any party other than the Trust Administrator).
(i) The Trust Administrator shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a
calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(j) Following the Startup Day, none of the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets
to any Trust REMIC other than in connection with any Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the inclusion of such assets
in the Trust Fund will not cause the related REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any
tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state
and local law or ordinances.
(k) None of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Master
Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive
a fee or other compensation for services nor permit either REMIC to receive any
income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
SECTION 10.02. Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the
Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage
Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged
Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC
I, (iii) the termination of REMIC I pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement,
(iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a purchase
of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of this Agreement), nor acquire
any assets for any Trust REMIC (other than REO Property acquired in respect of a
defaulted Mortgage Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the
Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any Trust REMIC
after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it has received an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer
(at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition,
substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at the expense of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator) that such sale, disposition, substitution,
acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the status of any
Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
SECTION 10.03. Master Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.
(a) In the event that any Trust REMIC fails to qualify as a
REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a
result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to (i) the negligent performance by the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein or (ii) any state,
local or franchise taxes imposed upon the Trust Fund as a result of the location
of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or any co-trustee, the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall indemnify the NIMS Insurer and the
Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence, including,
without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or incurred as a
result of a breach of the Trustee's or the Trust Administrator's, as applicable,
or any co-trustee's covenants; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, shall not be liable for any such Losses
attributable to the action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Depositor or
the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses
resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual
Certificate on which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, has
relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and
remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, have any liability (1) for
any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with
the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this
Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance
by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, of its duties and
obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages
to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).
(b) In the event that any Trust REMIC fails to qualify as a
REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a
result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC
Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Master Servicer of its duties
and obligations set forth herein, the Master Servicer shall indemnify the NIMS
Insurer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Trust Fund against any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses ("Losses") resulting from
such negligence, including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees
imposed on or incurred as a result of a breach of the Master Servicer's
covenants; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Master Servicer shall not be liable for
any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as
applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by
the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Master Servicer has relied.
The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies
of the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or
in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Master
Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in
accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is
expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other
than arising out of a negligent performance by the Master Servicer of its duties
and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential

Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect, (ii) to correct, modify
or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the
expectations of Certificateholders), or (iii) to make any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that such action
shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to
the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer
or (ii) confirmation from the Rating Agencies, delivered to the Master Servicer,
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer, that such amendment
will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding
Class of Certificates. No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented
thereto, and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of
any such amendment on any such consenting Certificateholder.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer and
the Trustee with the consent of the NIMS Insurer and the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights 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 received on Mortgage
Loans which are 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 (as evidenced
by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee and the NIMS
Insurer or (ii) confirmation from the Rating Agencies, delivered to the Master

the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class of

consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the
consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of
consents pursuant to this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of
the Depositor or the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled
to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, none
of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the NIMS Insurer shall consent to any
amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the NIMS Insurer to the effect that such amendment will
not result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trust
Administrator shall notify each Certificateholder and make available to each
Certificateholder and the NIMS Insurer a copy of such amendment.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be
subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trust Administrator may prescribe.
The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to
this Section 11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment,
but in no event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator.
The Trustee and the Trust Administrator may, but neither shall
not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that
affects its rights, duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be

Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and
beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this
Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be
executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which
counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to

parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall

SECTION 11.08. Article and Section References.
All article and section references used in this Agreement,
unless otherwise provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.
SECTION 11.09. Grant of Security Interest.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee, be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of
the Mortgage Loans to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the
parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a)
it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge
of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be
a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor's
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable
to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and
all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Distribution Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments,
securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured by such security
agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor's obligations under this
Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the Certificateholders the
benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund;
and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee for the purpose
of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Accordingly, the
Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in the Mortgage Loans
and all other property described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for
the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance by the Depositor of the
obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01
to be a true, absolute and unconditional sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets
constituting the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee.
SECTION 11.10. Duties of Trust Fund as Owner of Mortgage Loans
under Servicing Agreements.
To the extent the Trust Fund has any duties or obligations
under the Servicing Agreements or is otherwise asked to perform under the
Servicing Agreements, the Master Servicer shall perform any such duties or
obligations relating to the Mortgage Loans being serviced thereunder, and the
Trustee shall perform any such duties and obligations relating to (i)
enforcement of any duties and obligations of the assignor under any Servicer
Assignment Agreement, (ii) financial obligations of the Trust Fund, which
obligations shall be paid solely by the Trust Administrator on behalf of the
Trustee and the Trust Fund out of the assets of the Trust Fund (except for
expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee in connection
therewith, including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee's performance in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) and (iii) any other such
duties or obligations which must be performed by the legal owner of the Trust
Fund, such as, by way of illustration, execution of any release of any mortgages
upon the sale or other disposition of the related mortgage loan. With respect to
any additional duties or obligations of the Trust Fund under the Servicing
Agreements, the Master Servicer, Trust Administrator and Trustee will together,
in good faith, determine which party is best suited to perform such obligation
or duty. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement has generally established
which obligations under the Servicing Agreements the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Trust Administrator will perform on behalf of the Trust Fund,
and it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Servicing Agreements
shall be interpreted in a like manner.
SECTION 11.11. Third Party Rights.
The NIMs Insurer and the Servicers shall each be deemed a
third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were a
party hereto, and shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto
by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, in each case as of the
day and year first above written.

Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated

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 upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the
Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below
or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator 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 evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is
made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trust Administrator shall require receipt of
(i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under
the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring
to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as
such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor,
the Trust Administrator or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the
Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator 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 this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any
such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate shall be
made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified
in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations 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
of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by the Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the
Trust Fund at the time of purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Trust Administrator assume no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trust Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate
to be duly executed.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the
face hereof (herein called the "Certificates") and representing a Percentage
Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections
and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the
Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than
distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement of
advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting
Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive
and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and
of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon 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 upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the
Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below
or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator 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 evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is
made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trust Administrator shall require receipt of
(i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under
the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring
to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as
such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. Neither the Depositor,
the Trust Administrator nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the
Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator 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 this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any
such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate shall be
made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified
in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations 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
of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of
this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Trust
Administrator (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person
other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee
or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as a
residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a PRO RATA share
of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be
deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and
to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor
to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust Fund to cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by the Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the

advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee and the
rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting
Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive
and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and
of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in
lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon 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 upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies appointed by the Trust Administrator as provided in the
Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below
or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust
Administrator 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 evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is
made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective registration or
qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a
transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the
event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trust Administrator shall require receipt of
(i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under
the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring
to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities
as such), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of
the Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. Neither the Depositor,
the Trust Administrator nor the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the
Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator 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 this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any
such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate shall be
made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without
coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified
in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations 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
of Certificates, but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of
this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Trust
Administrator (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person
other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee
or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R-X Certificates have been designated as a
residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a PRO RATA share
of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R-X Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be
deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and
to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor
to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the trust fund to cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created
thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts
held by the Trust Administrator and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the
Trust Fund at the time of purchase being less than or equal to 10% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the
Depositor and the Trust Administrator assumes no responsibility for their
correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Trust Administrator, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trust Administrator has caused this Certificate
to be duly executed.

(except for the excluded securities referred to below) as of the end of the
Transferee's most recent fiscal year (such amount being calculated in accordance
with Rule 144A) and (ii) the Transferee satisfies the criteria in the category
marked below.

and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee, the Transferee used
the cost of such securities to the Transferee and did not include any of the
securities referred to in the preceding paragraph. Further, in determining such
aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included securities owned by
subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if such subsidiaries are consolidated

___ ___ Will the Transferee be purchasing the Certificates
Yes No only for the Transferee's own account?
6. If the answer to the foregoing question is "no", the Transferee
agrees that, in connection with any purchase of securities sold to the

reliance on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account of a
third party that at the time is a "qualified institutional buyer" within the
meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the Transferee
will not purchase securities for a third party unless the Transferee has
obtained a current representation letter from such third party or taken other
appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A to conclude that such third party
independently meets the definition of "qualified institutional buyer" set forth
in Rule 144A.
7. The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this
certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the Certificates will
constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such
purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and loan as
provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such parties
updated annual financial statements promptly after they become available.

FORM OF TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT AND AGREEMENT
STATE OF NEW YORK )
COUNTY OF NEW YORK )
__________________________, being duly sworn, deposes, represents and
warrants as follows:
1. I am a ______________________ of ____________________________ (the
"Owner") a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
______________, the record owner of MASTR Asset Backed Securities Trust, Series
2005-HE1, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Class [R][R-X] Certificates, (the
"Residual Certificates"), on behalf of whom I make this affidavit and agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings
assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the
Residual Certificates were issued.
2. The Owner (i) is and will be a "Permitted Transferee" as of
____________, 20__ and (ii) is acquiring the Residual Certificates for its own
account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received an
affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. A "Permitted
Transferee" is any person other than a "disqualified organization" or a
possession of the United States. For this purpose, a "disqualified organization"
means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency
or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of
the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by
any such governmental entity) or any foreign government, international
organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or
organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization
(other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal
income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business
taxable income.
3. The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers
of the Residual Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the Residual Certificates
after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor or, if such
transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that the person
otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the
transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is a
Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have
actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the Residual
Certificates may be a "noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of
proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code and that the transferor
of a "noneconomic residual interest" will remain liable for any taxes due with
respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose
of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
4. The Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through entity"
holding the Residual Certificates if, at any time during the taxable year of the
pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an
interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a
regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust
fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. The Owner is aware that the Trust Administrator will not register
the transfer of any Residual Certificate unless the transferee, or the
transferee's agent, delivers to the Trust Administrator, among other things, an
affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Owner expressly
agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes
that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are
false.
6. The Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements
that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable
arrangement to ensure that the Residual Certificates will only be owned,
directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Owner's taxpayer identification number is _________________.
8. The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the
Residual Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement under which the Residual Certificates were issued (in
particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) which authorize the
Trust Administrator to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and
negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trust Administrator in the event that the
Owner holds such Certificate in violation of Section 5.02(d)); and that the
Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and
provisions.
9. The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Residual
Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
10. The Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the
Residual Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the
holder of such Residual Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the
benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Residual Certificates that the
Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Residual Certificates as
they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess
of any cash flows generated by the Residual Certificates.
11. The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent or
subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the Residual
Certificates.
12. The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be
unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding.
13. The Owner is not acquiring the Residual Certificates with the
intent to transfer the Residual Certificates to any person or entity that will
not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Residual
Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
proceeding, for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding.
14. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of
the Residual Certificates, obtain from its transferee the representations
required by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which
the Residual Certificate were issued and will not consummate any such transfer
if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to believe, that any such
representations are false.
15. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of
the Residual Certificates, deliver to the Trust Administrator an affidavit,
which represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Residual
Certificates to impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that it has
no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to
pay any taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Residual Certificates;
(ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as
the Residual Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a "Permitted
Transferee".
16. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or
trust whose income from sources without the United States may be included 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.
17. The Owner of the Residual Certificate, hereby agrees that in the
event that the Trust Fund created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 thereof, the undersigned shall assign and
transfer to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates (with respect to a
termination of REMIC I) any amounts in excess of par received in connection with
such termination. Accordingly, in the event of such termination, the Trust
Administrator is hereby authorized to withhold any such amounts in excess of par
and to pay such amounts directly to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates.
This agreement shall bind and be enforceable against any successor, transferee
or assigned of the undersigned in the Residual Certificate. In connection with
any transfer of the Residual Certificate, the Owner shall obtain an agreement
substantially similar to this clause from any subsequent owner.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner has caused this instrument to be executed
on its behalf, pursuant to the authority of its Board of Directors, by its
[Vice] President, attested by its [Assistant] Secretary, this ____ day of

2. The Owner is not transferring the Residual Certificates (the
"Residual Certificates") to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
3. The Owner has no actual knowledge that the Person that is the
proposed transferee (the "Purchaser") of the Residual Certificates: (i) has
insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as holder
of the Residual Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a
bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Residual Certificates remain

4. The Owner understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trust
Administrator a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit F-2. The Owner does not know or
believe that any representation contained therein is false.
5. At the time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a reasonable
investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that
investigation, the Owner has determined that the Purchaser has historically paid
its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate
that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the
future. The Owner understands that the transfer of a Residual Certificate may
not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Owner may
