assignment from the originator to the Person assigning the Mortgage to the
Trustee or in blank;
(e) the original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance
or substitution agreement, if any; and
(f) the original lender's title insurance policy, together with all endorsements
or riders issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy (or a copy of
the above, in the case of the Washington Mutual Mortgage Loans), insuring the
priority of the Mortgage as a first lien on the Mortgaged Property represented
therein as a fee interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event such title
policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or preliminary
report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow company.
The Master Servicer, in its capacity as Seller, shall promptly (and in no event
later than thirty (30) Business Days, subject to extension upon a mutual
agreement between the Master Servicer and the Trustee), following the later of
the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Master Servicer of the recording
information for a Mortgage submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no
expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Depositor, in the appropriate
public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to in Sections
2.01(c) and (d) above and shall execute each original Assignment referred to in
clause (c) above in the following form: "Deutsche Bank National Trust Company,
as Trustee under applicable agreement, without recourse." In the event that any
such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the
Master Servicer, in its capacity as Seller, shall promptly prepare or cause to
be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as
the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assignments shall not be required to be
completed and submitted for recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan if each
Rating Agency does not require recordation in order for such Rating Agency to
assign the initial ratings to the Class A Certificates (without giving effect to
the Policy), the Mezzanine Certificates, the Class B Certificates and the Other
NIM Notes and the initial shadow rating to the Insured NIM Notes, without giving
effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer; provided, however,
each Assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Master Servicer, in its
capacity as Seller, in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust
Fund or the Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a
bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (iv) the
occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof and (v)
if the Seller is not the Master Servicer and with respect to any one Assignment,
the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the
Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Master Servicer is unable to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such
expense shall be paid by the Trustee and shall be reimbursable to the Trustee as
an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.
68
If any of the documents referred to in Sections 2.01(b), (c), (d) or (e) above
(collectively, the "Recording Documents") has as of the Closing Date been
submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned from the applicable
public recording office or (y) has been lost or such public recording office has
retained the original of such document, the obligations of the Master Servicer,
in its capacity as the Seller, to deliver such Recording Documents shall be
deemed to be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trustee or the applicable
Custodian of a copy of each such Recording Document certified by the Seller in
the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of
(y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for
recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Seller, delivery to the
Trustee or the applicable Custodian promptly upon receipt thereof, and in any
event no later than one year after the Closing Date, of either the original or a
copy of such Recording Document certified by the applicable public recording
office to be a true and complete copy of the original. In instances where, due
to a delay on the part of the recording office where any such Recording
Documents have been delivered for recordation, the Recording Documents cannot be
delivered to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian within one year after the
Closing Date, the Master Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, shall deliver
to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian within such time period an Officer's
Certificate stating the date by which the Master Servicer, in its capacity as
the Seller, expects to receive such Recording Documents from the applicable
recording office. In the event that Recording Documents have still not been
received by the Master Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, and delivered to
the Trustee or the applicable Custodian by the date specified in its previous
Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian, as
the case may be, the Master Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, shall
deliver to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian by such date an additional
Officer's Certificate stating a revised date by which the Master Servicer, in
its capacity as the Seller, expects to receive the applicable Recording
Documents. This procedure shall be repeated until the Recording Documents have
been received by the Master Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, and
delivered to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian. If the original lender's
title insurance policy (or a copy thereof, in the case of the Washington Mutual
Mortgage Loans) was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(f) above, the Master
Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian promptly after receipt thereof, and
in any event within 120 days after the Closing Date, the original lender's title
insurance policy (or a copy thereof, in the case of the Washington Mutual
Mortgage Loans). The Master Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian
promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents constituting a part
of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but
not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or modification
of any Mortgage Loan.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to
the Trustee or the applicable Custodian are and shall be held by or on behalf of
the Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, in trust
for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer. In the event that any such original document is required
pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such
document shall be delivered promptly to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian.
Any such original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not
required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File,
shall be delivered promptly to the Master Servicer.
69
The Mortgage Loans permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be included in
the Trust are limited to (i) the Mortgage Loans (which the Depositor acquired
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which contains, among other
representations and warranties, a representation and warranty of the Seller that
no Mortgage Loan is a "high-cost" or "predatory" loan under any state or local
law or regulation applicable to the originator), and (ii) Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans (which, by definition as set forth herein and referred to in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, are required to conform to, among other
representations and warranties, the representation and warranty of the Seller
that no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is a "high cost" or "predatory" loan
under any state or local law or regulation applicable to the originator). It is
agreed and understood by the parties hereto that it is not intended that any
mortgage loan be included in the Trust that is a "High-Cost Home Loan" as
defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003 or a
"High Cost Home Loan" as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act
effective January 1, 2004.
Section 2.02 Acceptance of REMIC 1 by the Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on
the exception report described in the next paragraph below, the Trustee or a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable, acknowledges receipt of the
documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the
definition of "REMIC 1" under clauses (i), (iii), (iv) and (vi) (to the extent
of amounts deposited into the Distribution Account) and declares that it holds
and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it
constituting the Mortgage File, and all such assets and such other assets
included in the definition of "REMIC 1" in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer.
The Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, agrees, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, to review each Mortgage File on
or before the Closing Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and to certify to
the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Depositor and the
Master Servicer in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 that,
as to each Closing Date Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically
identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such
certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other
than such documents described in Section 2.01(e)) required to be delivered to it
pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such documents have been
reviewed by the Trustee or the Washington Mutual Custodian, as applicable and
are not mutilated, torn or defaced unless initialed by the related borrower and
relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on the Trustee's examination and
only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (ii), (ix), (xii), (xiv) (to the extent
of the Periodic Rate Cap for the first Adjustment Date and subsequent Adjustment
Dates) and (xvi) 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, neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under
any 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 (including with respect
to Section 2.01(f), whether such title insurance policy (a) contains all
necessary endorsements, (b) insures the priority of the Mortgage as a first lien
or (c) whether the interest vested in the Mortgagor is a fee interest) or
70
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 (e) of Section 2.01.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall deliver
(or, with respect to the Mortgage Loans held by another Custodian, such
Custodian shall deliver) to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate
Insurer and the NIMS Insurer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit F-2 evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as
the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee holding such
Mortgage Files or any Custodian holding such Mortgage Files 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 the Trustee shall so
notify or such other Custodian shall notify the Depositor, the Seller, the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the
discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of
any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and
adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the
related Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer in such Mortgage Loan, the
party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other
parties.
Section 2.03 Cure, Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller;
Remedies for Breaches by Depositor or Master Servicer; Remedies for Breaches
Relating to Prepayment Charges.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in,
or that a document is missing from, the Mortgage File or of the breach by the
Seller of any representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially and
adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the
Certificateholders (it being understood that (i) in the case of any such
representation or warranty made to the knowledge or the best of knowledge of the
Seller, as to which the Seller has no knowledge, without regard to the Seller's
lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation or
warranty being inaccurate at the time it was made and (ii) with respect to the
representation and warranty set forth in the last sentence of Section 6(xxxix),
Section 6(xlvi), the first sentence of Section 6(xlvii) and Section 6(lxi) of
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, a breach of any such representation or
warranty shall in and of itself be deemed to materially and adversely affect the
interest of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer in the related
Mortgage Loan), the Trustee shall promptly notify the Depositor, the Seller, the
Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer of such defect,
missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver such missing
document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Seller
was notified of such missing document, defect or breach (except as described in
Section 2.03(e)), and if the Seller does not deliver such missing document or
cure such defect or breach in all material respects during such period, the
Master Servicer (or, in accordance with Section 3.02(b), the Trustee) shall
enforce the obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
71
to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC 1 at the Purchase Price within 90
days after the date on which the Seller was notified (subject to Section
2.03(e)) of such missing document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that
the Seller is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The
Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited in the
Collection Account, and the Trustee or a Custodian, as applicable, upon receipt
of written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release
to the Seller the related Mortgage File, and the Trustee or a Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments
of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall
furnish to it or such Custodian, as applicable, and as shall be necessary to
vest in the Seller any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and neither the
Trustee nor any Custodian shall 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 Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller may
cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC 1 (in which case it shall
become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2.03(d). It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure
or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document
is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which
such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy
respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Certificateholders
and the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders,
the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer.
(b) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Depositor or receipt of
notice by the Depositor of the breach of any representation or warranty of the
Depositor set forth in Section 2.05 with respect to any Mortgage Loan, which
materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, the Depositor
shall cure such breach in all material respects.
(c) As promptly as practicable (and no later than 90 days) after the earlier of
discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of
the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer
set forth in Section 2.04 which materially and adversely affects the value of
any Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders or the Certificate
Insurer in any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all
material respects.
Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of
notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.04(a)(vii) or (viii)
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Holders of the Class
P Certificates to any Prepayment Charge, the Master Servicer shall cure such
breach in all material respects. If the representation made by the Master
Servicer in its capacity as Seller in Section 2.04(a)(vii) is breached, the
Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller shall pay into the Collection Account
the amount of the scheduled Prepayment Charge, less any amount previously
collected and deposited by, or paid by, the Master Servicer into the Collection
Account; and if the covenant made by the Master Servicer in Section
2.04(a)(viii) is breached, the Master Servicer shall pay into the Collection
Account the amount of the waived Prepayment Charge.
72
(d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage
Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) shall be effected prior to the date which
is two years after the Startup Date for REMIC 1.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the
Seller delivering to the Trustee (or, with respect to the Mortgage Loans held by
another Custodian, to such Custodian) on behalf of the Trustee, for such
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage,
the Assignment to the Trustee, and such other documents and agreements, with all
necessary endorsements thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with
an Officers' Certificate providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution
Adjustments (as described below), if any, in connection with such substitution.
The Trustee shall acknowledge or with respect to the Mortgage Loans held by
another Custodian such other Custodian 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 Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS
Insurer, with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a
certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, with any
applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year of the date of
substitution, the Trustee shall deliver or with respect to the Mortgage Loans
held by another Custodian, such other Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor,
the Seller, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer a
certification substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto with respect to
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, with any applicable exceptions
noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of REMIC 1 and will be
retained by the Seller. 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 Seller
shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in
respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall give or cause to be
given written notice to the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and the
Certificateholders that such substitution has taken place, and the Master
Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage Loan Schedule and, if
applicable, the Prepayment Charge 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 and, if applicable, the Prepayment Charge
Schedule to the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee. 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 Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including all
applicable representations and warranties thereof included in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement as of the date of substitution.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will
determine the amounts (the "Substitution Adjustments"), if any, by which the
aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans in Loan Group I or
Loan Group II, respectively, exceeds the aggregate of the Stated Principal
Balance of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans that will become part of Loan
Group I or Loan Group II, respectively, 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 with respect
73
to such Deleted Mortgage Loan. On the date of such substitution, the Seller will
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the
Collection Account an amount equal to the sum of Substitution Adjustments, if
any (which for federal income tax purposes will be treated as payment for the
repurchase of that portion of the Deleted Mortgage Loans), and the Trustee, upon
receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans (or
acknowledgement of such receipt by another Custodian) and certification by the
Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release or, if such Mortgage File is held
by another Custodian, such Custodian shall release to the Seller the related
Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute and deliver or, if such
Mortgage File is held by another Custodian, such Custodian shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, as the
Seller shall deliver to it or such Custodian, as applicable, and as shall be
necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller shall obtain at its
own expense and deliver to the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not
cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on REMIC 1, created hereunder, including
without limitation, any federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under
Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on contributions after the startup day under
Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC hereunder to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact
shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties.
In connection therewith, the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller shall
repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d),
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected
Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such
notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or
substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a)
and Section 2.03(d). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller 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.

so is standard and customary in servicing mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage
Loans (including any waiver of a Prepayment Charge in connection with a
refinancing of a Mortgage Loan that is related to a default or a reasonably
foreseeable default).
(ix) With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will furnish, or
cause to be furnished, information regarding the borrower credit file related to

(30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.), foreclosed, or charged-off.
(b) It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and
covenants set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage
Files to the Trustee or a Custodian, as the case may be, and shall inure to the

by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any
of the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants which materially and
adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan, Prepayment Charge or the
76
interests therein of the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer, the
party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice (but in no event
later than two Business Days following such discovery) to the other of such
parties. The obligation of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.03(c) to
cure breaches (or, in the case of (a)(vii) or (a)(viii) above, to pay a Master
Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount) shall constitute the sole remedy
against the Master Servicer available to the Certificateholders, the Depositor,
the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer respecting a breach of the
representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 2.04. The
preceding sentence shall not, however, limit any remedies available to the
Certificateholders, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer or the Trustee on behalf of
the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, (i) pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement signed by the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller,
respecting a breach of the representations, warranties and covenants of the
Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller contained in the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement or (ii) pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof.
Section 2.05 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor.
The Depositor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, and to the Master Servicer,
that as of the Closing Date or as of such date specifically provided herein:
(i) Each of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement constitutes
a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Depositor, enforceable against the
Depositor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited
by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
similar laws now or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights in general and except as such enforceability may be limited by general
principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity);
(ii) Immediately prior to the sale and assignment by the Depositor to the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust of each Mortgage Loan, the Depositor had good and
marketable title to each Mortgage Loan subject to no prior lien, claim,
participation interest, mortgage, security interest, pledge, charge or other

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of
the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer (as determined by the Master
Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with
such terms, in the same manner in which it services and administers similar
mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and
usual standards of practice of mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering
similar mortgage loans in the local areas where the related Mortgaged Property
is located but without regard to:
(i) any relationship that the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate
of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the Master Servicer or
any Affiliate of the Master Servicer;
(iii) the Master Servicer's obligation to make Advances or Servicing Advances;
or
(iv) the Master Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to receive compensation
for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall seek to
maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and the
terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through
Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration in accordance with
policies and procedures generally accepted in the mortgage banking industry.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own
name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer and the Trustee,
and upon notice to the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged
Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu of
foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold or
cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Trustee, the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. The Master Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state
and federal law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be
provided to them thereby. The Master Servicer shall also comply in the
performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each
insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the
Trustee, shall execute, at the written direction of the Master Servicer, and
furnish to the Master Servicer and any Sub-Servicer such documents as are
81
necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to
carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee
hereby grants to the Master Servicer and each Sub-Servicer a power of attorney
to carry out such duties including a power of attorney to take title to
Mortgaged Properties after foreclosure on behalf of the Trustee, the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. The Trustee, at the direction of
the Master Servicer, shall execute a separate power of attorney in favor of (and
furnish such power of attorney to) the Master Servicer and/or each Sub-Servicer
for the purposes described herein to the extent necessary or desirable to enable
the Master Servicer to perform its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be
liable for the actions of the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such
powers of attorney.
Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the standards of the
preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced
funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from collections on the related
Mortgage Loans from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as
provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or by
Sub-Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on a
Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer
may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as
provided in Section 4.04) and the Master Servicer shall not (i) permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage
Rate, reduce or increase the principal balance (except for reductions resulting
from actual payments of principal) or change the final maturity date on such
Mortgage Loan (unless, as provided in Section 3.07, the Mortgagor is in default
with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is, in the judgment of the
Master Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) or (ii) permit any modification, waiver
or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan that would both (A) effect an
exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under Section 1001 of the Code (or
final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and
(B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or the
imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or contributions after the
startup day under the REMIC Provisions.
The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement;
provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Master Servicer
from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will furnish, or cause
to be furnished, information regarding the borrower credit file related to such
Mortgage Loan to credit reporting agencies in compliance with the provisions of
the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the applicable implementing regulations.
82
Section 3.02 Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master Servicer and
Sub-Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements provided (i)
that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any
Rating Agency of the ratings on any Class of Certificates (without giving effect
to the Policy), any of the Other NIM Notes or any of the Insured NIM Notes
(without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer), as
evidenced by a letter to that effect delivered by each Rating Agency to the
Depositor, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer and (ii) that, except in
the case of any Sub-Servicing Agreements the Master Servicer may enter into with
Washington Mutual, Inc. or any Affiliate thereof, the NIMS Insurer shall have
consented to such Sub-Servicing Agreements (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration
of the Mortgage Loans. That certain Subservicing Agreement by and between the
Master Servicer and Washington Mutual Bank, FA dated April 9, 2001 is hereby
acknowledged as being permitted under this Agreement and meeting the
requirements applicable to Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement.
The Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Master
Servicer, any Sub-Servicing Agreement that meets the requirements applicable to
Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement and that is otherwise
permitted under this Agreement.
Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or
states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated,
if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to
perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) an
institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing
Administration or an institution the deposit accounts in which are insured by
the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxx Xxx approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing
Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08. The Master Servicer will examine each
Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms
of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the
provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may
enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into
different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however, that any such
amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not violate the
provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or different form shall
be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected to be materially
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any
variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08
relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or
credits and charges to the Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of
remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are conclusively deemed
to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Master
Servicer shall deliver to the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the
Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or
modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer's execution and
delivery of such instruments.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer (except
as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit
of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, shall
enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing
83
Agreement and, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, of the Seller
under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement including, without limitation, any
obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, or to purchase or otherwise remedy as contemplated
herein a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective documentation or on
account of a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant, as described in
Section 2.03(a). Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit
of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an
extent and at such time as the 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, and
shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from
such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans or (ii) from a specific recovery of
costs, expenses or attorneys' fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed. Enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
against the Seller shall be effected by the Master Servicer to the extent it is
not the Seller, and otherwise by the Trustee, in accordance with the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph.
Section 3.03 Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Master Servicer, with the written consent of the NIMS Insurer, shall be
entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations
of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with
the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the event of
termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such Sub-Servicer
shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any act or deed
on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer
either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a
Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which qualifies under
Section 3.02.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may
be immediately terminated by the Trustee without fee, in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, and the Trustee shall so terminate such Sub-Servicing
Agreement at the direction of the NIMS Insurer in the event that the Master
Servicer (or the Trustee, if then acting as Master Servicer) shall, for any
reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including termination due to a Master
Servicer Event of Default).
Section 3.04 Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this
Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and
a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or
otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to
the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without
diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing
Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer
and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master
Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master
84
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub-Servicer for
indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification and no such indemnification shall be an expense of the Trust.
Section 3.05 No Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Trustee or Certificateholders.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer
alone, and the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the
Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims,
rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer
except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable
for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Master
Servicer's compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such
fees and such fees shall not be an expense of the Trust.
Section 3.06 Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trustee.
In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master
servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights
and obligations of the Master Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that
the Master Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to
terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided
in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the
successor servicer for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be
deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's
interest therein and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each
Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement
had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) the Master Servicer
shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer
and (ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any successor Master Servicer
shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Master
Servicer that arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer at its own expense and without reimbursement shall, upon
request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records
relating to each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being
serviced and an accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it,
and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer
of the Sub-Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.
Section 3.07 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called
for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the
extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and
provisions of any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection
procedures as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the
Mortgage Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, the
85
Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if
applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly
Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater than 180 days;
provided that any extension pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not affect the
amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation
hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such arrangement
pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Master Servicer shall make timely advances on
such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.04 and in
accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.04(d)
pursuant to which the Master Servicer shall not be required to make any such
advances that are Nonrecoverable Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Master
Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer,
consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify
or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would
change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend
the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, accept payment from the related
Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final
satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a "Short Pay-off") or consent
to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor; provided, that in the judgment of the Master
Servicer, any such modification, waiver or amendment could reasonably be
expected to result in collections and other recoveries in respect of such
Mortgage Loans in excess of Net Liquidation Proceeds that would be recovered
upon the foreclosure of, or other realization upon, such Mortgage Loan and
provided further, that the NIMS Insurer's prior written consent shall be
required for any modification, waiver or amendment if the aggregate number of
outstanding Mortgage Loans which have been modified, waived or amended exceeds
5% of the number of Closing Date Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
Section 3.08 Sub-Servicing Accounts.
In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer shall be required to establish and
maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing Account"). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall be entitled
"Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for registered
Holders of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2004-4, Asset-Backed Certificates,
Series 2004-4. The Sub-Servicer shall be required to deposit in the clearing
account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily
deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than
one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer's receipt thereof, all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to
the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter
deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than two
Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account. The
Sub-Servicer shall thereafter be required to deposit such proceeds in the
Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the Master Servicer for deposit in
the Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of
such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the
Master Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans
when the Sub-Servicer receives such payments.
Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing
Accounts.
The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and
maintained, one or more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"). Servicing Accounts
86
shall be Eligible Accounts. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the clearing
account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily
deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than
one Business Day after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, all collections
from the Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub-Servicers) for the payment of
taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums and comparable items for the
account of the Mortgagors ("Escrow Payments") collected on account of the
Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the
Servicing Accounts, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit of
such funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of effecting the payment of
any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of
amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of
taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable items; (ii)
reimburse the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the
related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out of related collections for any advances
made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and
Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any
sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as
described below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; (v) clear
and terminate the Servicing Account upon the termination of the Master
Servicer's obligations and responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans
under this Agreement in accordance with Article IX or (vi) recover amounts
deposited in error. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer or
Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing
Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned
on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from
its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. To the extent that a
Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer shall
determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at
a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the
foreclosure of a tax lien. The Master Servicer assumes full responsibility for
the payment of all such bills within such time and shall effect payments of all
such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's faithful performance in the payment
of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances from its
own funds to effect such payments; provided, however, that such advances shall
constitute Servicing Advances.
Section 3.10 Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall establish and
maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more segregated
accounts (such account or accounts, the "Collection Account"), held in trust for
the benefit of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.
On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be
deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in
which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in
connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in
no event more than one Business Day after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof,
and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than
two Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, as
and when received or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and
collections received or made by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in
respect of principal or interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before
the Cut-off Date or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it
on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent
thereto):
87
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on
the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee) on
each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than proceeds
collected in respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid by the
Master Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties pursuant to Section 9.01) and all Gross Subsequent Recoveries;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection
with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in
the Collection Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to the
second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance
with Section 2.03, Section 3.16 or Section 9.01 and all Master Servicer
Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts required to be deposited in the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 2.03;
(vii) all Substitution Adjustments;
(viii) all Prepayment Charges collected by the Master Servicer; and
(ix) without duplication, all payments of claims received by the Master Servicer
under the PMI Policy.
For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date with
respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date
of substitution.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, NSF fees,
reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges (other
than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the
Collection Account and shall, upon collection, belong to the Master Servicer as
additional compensation for its servicing activities. In the event the Master
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be
deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection
Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish and maintain one or
more segregated accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution Account"),
held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee in immediately available funds for deposit in the
Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Master
88
Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Funds (calculated
without regard to the references in the definition thereof to amounts that may
be withdrawn from the Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date
then on deposit in the Collection Account, the amount of all Prepayment Charges
on the Prepayment Charge Schedule collected by the Master Servicer in connection
with any of the Mortgage Loans and any Master Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment
Amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account and the amount of any funds
reimbursable to an Advancing Person pursuant to Section 3.27 and (ii) on each
Business Day as of the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the
Collection Account exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the
next succeeding sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection
Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the
definition of "Eligible Account." If the balance on deposit in the Collection
Account exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day
and the Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to
clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible Account," the Master Servicer shall,
on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the
Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Seller or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto. In
order to comply with its duties under the U.S. Patriot Act, the Trustee shall
obtain and verify certain information and documentation from the owners of the
account that it establishes pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, each account owner's name, address, and other identifying
information.
(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested
in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section
3.12. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies of the location
of the Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any
change thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Master Servicer, the
Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies of
the location of the Distribution Account when established and prior to any
change thereof.
(d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the
Master Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which may be the
Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account
as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that
the Trustee shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant to
this subsection (d). In the event the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be
deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trustee withdraw, and the
Trustee shall withdraw, such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to
the Master Servicer any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. In addition, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee
from time to time for deposit, and the Trustee shall so deposit, in the
Distribution Account:
(i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.04, unless delivered
directly to the Trustee by an Advancing Person;
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in
connection with any REO Property;
89
(iii) any amounts to be paid by the Master Servicer in connection with a
purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection
with any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; and
(v) any Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy court
having jurisdiction in such matters.
(e) Promptly upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the Master Servicer,
a trustee in bankruptcy, federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Trustee
shall deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal
thereof pursuant to Section 7.02(b) or as otherwise permitted hereunder.
Section 3.11 Withdrawals from the Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the
Collection Account, for any of the following purposes or as described in Section
4.04, without priority:
(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts
required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so
remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Master Servicer for Advances,
but only to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net
of the related Servicing Fees) of Monthly Payments on the related Mortgage Loans
in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04;
(iii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
(a) any unpaid Servicing Fees or (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with
respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Late Collections,
Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Gross Subsequent Recoveries or other
amounts as may be collected by the Master Servicer from a Mortgagor, or
otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan;
(iv) to pay to the Master Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the
Servicing Fee) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment
income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to pay to the Master Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced
pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 3.16(c) all amounts received thereon
subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;
90
(vi) to reimburse the Master Servicer for any Advance or Servicing Advance
previously made which the Master Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04;
(vii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by
or reimbursable to the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be,
pursuant to Section 6.03;
(viii) to reimburse the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for enforcement expenses reasonably
incurred in respect of the breach or defect giving rise to the purchase
obligation under Section 2.03 of this Agreement that were included in the
Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the
enforcement of the purchase obligation; provided, however, that the combined
reimbursement to the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Insurer pursuant to this
clause shall be limited to an annual amount of $25,000;
(ix) to pay, or to reimburse the Master Servicer for advances in respect of,
expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section
3.16(b); and
(x) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 9.01.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on an
individual Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal
from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant
to subclauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above. The Master Servicer
shall provide written notification to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and
the NIMS Insurer, on or prior to the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance
Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to
subclause (vii) above.
(b) The Trustee shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution
Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:
(i) to make distributions to Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer in
accordance with Section 4.01;
(ii) to pay to itself amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 8.05
or to pay any other Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses;
(iii) to pay to itself any interest income earned on funds deposited in the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.12(c);
(iv) to reimburse itself pursuant to Section 7.02 or pursuant to Section 7.01 to
the extent such amounts in Section 7.01 were not reimbursed by the Master
Servicer;
91
(v) to pay any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to Section 10.01(g);
(vi) to remit to the Master Servicer any amount deposited in the Distribution
Account by the Master Servicer but not required to be deposited therein in
accordance with Section 3.10(d);
(vii) to pay to an Advancing Person reimbursements for Advances and/or Servicing
Advances pursuant to Section 3.27;
(viii) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.01;
(ix) to pay the PMI Insurer the PMI Insurer Fee based on information received
from the Master Servicer; and
(x) to pay itself the Trustee Fees.
Section 3.12 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the
Collection Account and any REO Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an
"Investment Account"), and the Trustee, in its individual capacity, may direct
any depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of
this Section 3.12, the Distribution Account is also an "Investment Account"), to
invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments
bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand,
(i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such
funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement,
if a Person other than the Trustee is the obligor thereon and (ii) no later than
the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account
pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. All such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the
Trustee (in its capacity as such), or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee.
The Trustee shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to
investment direction of funds held in the Collection Account and any REO Account
and any income and gain realized thereon) over each such investment, and any
certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be
delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent, together with any document of
transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee or its
nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any
time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trustee shall:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that
payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise
mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then
payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
92
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon actual notice by
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such Permitted Investment would not
constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in
the Investment Account.
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf of the Master
Servicer shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to
its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23, as applicable.
The Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account or any REO Account,
as applicable, from its own funds, the amount of any loss of principal incurred
in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts
immediately upon realization of such loss.
(c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Trustee shall be for the
benefit of the Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any time. The
Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account, from its own funds, the
amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such
loss.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default
occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a
default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment,
the Trustee may, and subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(v), upon the
request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting
Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates shall, take such action as may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
Section 3.13 Reserved.
Section 3.14 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and
Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire
insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount
which is at least equal to the least of (i) the then current principal balance
of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any
damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a
replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an amount not less
than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance
clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Master Servicer
shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each
REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the
maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property
and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the
time it became an REO Property, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and
related Servicing Advances. The Master Servicer will comply in the performance
of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer
under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Master
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts
to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the
Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account,
93
subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note)
shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO
Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other additional insurance is
to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO Property is at any time
in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been
made available, the Master Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood
insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage
Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related
Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the
area in which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such
program).
In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy
with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:X or better in Best's Key
Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring
against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be
deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences
of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that such policy may
contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the
event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this
Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been
covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause. In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of
itself, the Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, claims
under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms
of such policy.
(b) The Master Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a
policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of the Master Servicer's obligations under this Agreement, which
policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loans, unless the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates has obtained
a waiver of such Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements from either Xxxxxx Mae
or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Master Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the
form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac,
unless the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates has obtained a waiver of
such Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements from either Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac. The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and
the NIMS Insurer (upon such party's reasonable request) with copies of any such
insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to
have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Master Servicer has
94
such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such
insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to
the Master Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond
shall by its terms not be cancelable without thirty days' prior written notice
to the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer to
maintain a comparable policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a
fidelity bond meeting such requirements.
Section 3.15 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
The Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or
prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by
absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor
remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage),
exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the
"due-on-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the
Master Servicer shall not be required to take such action if in its sole
business judgment the Master Servicer believes that the collections and other
recoveries in respect of such Mortgage Loans could reasonably be expected to be
maximized if the Mortgage Loan were not accelerated, and the Master Servicer
shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the
Master Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce
such "due-on-sale" clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the
proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Master Servicer will enter into an
assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such
property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such
person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by
applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Master Servicer
may also enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such person,
pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such
person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage
Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Master Servicer and has a credit risk
rating at least equal to that of the original Mortgagor. In connection with any
assumption, modification or substitution, the Master Servicer shall apply such
underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies
to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Master Servicer shall not take
or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the
extent practicable under the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation,
in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable hazard insurance
policy, or a new policy meeting the requirements of this Section is obtained.
Any fee collected by the Master Servicer in respect of any assumption,
modification or substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the
Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection with any
such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including but not
limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment) may
be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms
thereof. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the NIMS Insurer that
any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been completed
by forwarding to the Trustee (with a copy to the NIMS Insurer) the executed
original of such substitution, modification or assumption agreement, which
document shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all
purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all
other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
95
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or
any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of
a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any
assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing,
for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term
"assumption" is deemed to also include a sale of the Mortgaged Property subject
to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement.
Section 3.16 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the
servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01, to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to
Section 3.07. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that such
costs and expenses will constitute and be recoverable as Servicing Advances by
the Master Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The
foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer
shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such
property unless it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion that such
restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage
Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other
provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the
Master Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the
presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property,
the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title
to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise
or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect
to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee,
the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer would be
considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an
"owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Master Servicer has
also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report
prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits
using customary industry standards, that:
(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws
or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to
take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into
compliance therewith; and
(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to
the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous
materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which
investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could
be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any
such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it
would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions
with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.
96
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans, if such
environmental audit reveals, or if the Master Servicer has knowledge or notice,
that the Mortgaged Property securing the Mortgage Loan contains such wastes or
substances or is within one mile of the site of such wastes or substances, the
Master Servicer shall not foreclose or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure
without the prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the NIMS Insurer.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16
shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer's right
to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer to receive any amount in the
Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other
Mortgage Loans. It is understood by the parties hereto that any such advance
will constitute a Servicing Advance.
If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to
bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental
laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or
remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or
petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Master
Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest
of the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or
remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master
Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the
rights of Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer to receive any amount
in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or
other Mortgage Loans. It is understood by the parties hereto that any such
advance will constitute a Servicing Advance.
(c) The Master Servicer may at its option purchase from REMIC 1 any Mortgage
Loan or related REO Property that is 90 days or more delinquent or that has been
otherwise in default for 90 days or more, which the Master Servicer determines
in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure proceedings (evidence
of such determination to be delivered in writing to the Trustee prior to
purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the
Master Servicer shall purchase any such Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties
on the basis of delinquency or default, purchasing first the Mortgage Loans or
related REO Properties that became delinquent or otherwise in default on an
earlier date; and provided, further, that such option shall expire as of the
last day of the calendar quarter during which such Mortgage Loan or related REO
Property became 90 days delinquent or otherwise in default for 90 days or more.
In the event the Master Servicer does not exercise its option to purchase from
REMIC 1 any such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property prior to the expiration
of such option, the NIMS Insurer shall be entitled to purchase such Mortgage
Loan or related REO Property at any time thereafter. The Purchase Price for any
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property purchased hereunder shall be deposited in
the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification
from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released
to the Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, as applicable, the related Mortgage
File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Master Servicer or the NIMS
97
Insurer, as applicable, shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the
Master Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, as applicable, title to any Mortgage Loan
or related REO Property released pursuant hereto.
(d) Proceeds received (other than any Prepayment Charges received) in connection
with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a
partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or Gross
Subsequent Recoveries, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances,
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii); second, to accrued and unpaid
interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination,
or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to
be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and
third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the
recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and
unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be
allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees;
and second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of
the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii).
Section 3.17 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master
Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will promptly notify the
Trustee and the applicable Custodian holding the related Mortgage File by a
certification in the form of Exhibit E-2 (which certification shall include a
statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will be so deposited)
of a Servicing Representative and shall request delivery to it of the related
Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee or
such Custodian, as applicable, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File
to the Master Servicer. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument
of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection
Account or the Distribution Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any
Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance
policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee or the applicable Custodian
shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee or the
applicable Custodian of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E-l,
release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the Trustee or the
applicable Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, at the direction of the
Master Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution
of any such proceedings and the Master Servicer shall retain such Mortgage File
98
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer.
Such Request for Release shall obligate the Master Servicer to return each and
every document previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee or the
applicable Custodian when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer
exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection
Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney,
or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes
of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure
of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Master
Servicer has delivered to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian a certificate
of a Servicing Representative certifying as to the name and address of the
Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the
purpose or purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a
Servicing Representative stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that
all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation that
are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited,
or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for
Release shall be released by the Trustee or the applicable Custodian to the
Master Servicer or its designee.
(c) At the direction of the Master Servicer and upon written certification of a
Servicing Representative, each of the Trustee or the applicable Custodian shall
execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or
trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought
to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to
obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights
provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in
equity, or shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer a power of attorney
sufficient to authorize the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer to execute such
documents on its behalf, provided that each of the Trustee or the applicable
Custodian shall be obligated to execute the documents identified above if
necessary to enable the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer to perform their
respective duties hereunder or under the Sub-Servicing Agreement. Each such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee or the applicable Custodian and a statement as to the
reason such documents or pleadings are required.
(d) If any Mortgage Loan is repurchased, substituted or purchased in accordance
with Section 2.03, 3.16(c) or 9.01, the Trustee shall execute and deliver the
Mortgage Loan Assignment Agreement in the form of Exhibit E-3 with respect to
such Mortgage Loan, transferring such Mortgage Loan to the Person entitled
thereto pursuant to such Section 2.03, 3.16(c) or 9.01, as applicable.
Section 3.18 Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage
Loan payable solely from payments of interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan,
subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to
recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Late Collections, Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds or Gross Subsequent Recoveries to the extent permitted by
Section 3.11(a)(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of
an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. The right to receive
the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in
connection with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities
99
and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Master
Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a Sub-Servicer
pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or modification
fees, late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees and other similar fees
and charges (other than Prepayment Charges) shall be retained by the Master
Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) only to the extent such fees or charges are
received by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account, and
pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional
servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein,
subject to Section 3.12. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
(including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to the extent
such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer, it
being understood however, that payment of such premiums by the Master Servicer
shall constitute Servicing Advances and servicing compensation of each
Sub-Servicer, and to the extent provided herein and in Section 8.05, the fees
and expenses of the Trustee) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor
except as specifically provided herein.
Section 3.19 Reports to the Trustee; Collection Account Statements.
Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer
shall forward to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and the
Depositor a statement prepared by the Master Servicer setting forth the status
of the Collection Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date
and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of
deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category of
deposit specified in Section 3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified
in Section 3.11. Such statement may be in the form of the then current Xxxxxx
Xxx Monthly Accounting Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program
with appropriate additions and changes, and shall also include information as to
the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances of all of the Mortgage Loans
as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution
Date. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon request at the expense of the requesting
party, provided such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee.
Section 3.20 Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate
Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency on or before March 10 of each
calendar year prior to and including the calendar year in which a Form 15 is
filed with respect to the Trust Fund and April 30 of each calendar year
thereafter, an Officers' Certificate stating, as to each signatory thereof, that
(i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding year
and of performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers'
supervision and (ii) to the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such
review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this
Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the
fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such
officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of any such statement shall be
provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to
the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and
at the expense of the requesting party, provided that such statement is
delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
100
Section 3.21 Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
Not later than March 10 of each calendar year prior to and including the
calendar year in which a Form 15 is filed with respect to the Trust Fund and
April 30 of each calendar year thereafter, the Master Servicer, at its expense,
shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public
accountants to furnish to the Master Servicer a report stating that (i) it has
obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the
management of the Master Servicer which includes an assertion that the Master
Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing
standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect
to the servicing of residential mortgage loans during the most recently
completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such
firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all
material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may
be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters
relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers,
upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants
rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same
standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those
Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Master Servicer
shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, the
NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided
by the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's
expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee. In the event such firm of independent certified public accountants
requires the Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the
Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to so agree; it being
understood and agreed that the Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in
conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Master Servicer, and the Trustee
has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no
obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness
of such procedures.
Section 3.22 Access to Certain Documentation.
The Master Servicer shall provide to the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC
and any other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that
may exercise authority over any Certificateholder access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, as may be required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access
shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during
normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In
addition, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by
the Master Servicer under this Agreement will be provided to any
Certificateholder, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee and to
any Person identified to the Master Servicer as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at the offices
of the Master Servicer designated by it at the expense of the Person requesting
such access.
101
Section 3.23 Title, Management and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the
name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. The Master Servicer, on behalf
of REMIC 1 (and on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer), shall sell any REO Property as
soon as practicable and, in any event, shall either sell any REO Property before
the close of the third taxable year after the year REMIC 1 acquires ownership of
such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from
the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the day on which the
three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year
grace period, unless the Master Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee,
the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and
the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by REMIC 1 of such REO Property
subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in the
imposition on any Trust REMIC of taxes on "prohibited transactions" thereof, as
defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify
as a REMIC under Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
If an extension of the three-year period is granted, the Master Servicer shall
sell the related REO Property no later than 60 days prior to the expiration of
such extension period. The Master Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and
operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer
solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does
not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any
Trust REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of
Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any "net income from foreclosure property"
which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain, or cause
to be established and maintained, with respect to REO Properties an account held
in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer (the "REO Account"), which shall be an Eligible Account. The
Master Servicer may allow the Collection Account to serve as the REO Account,
subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Master Servicer may
retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO
Account.
(c) The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the
specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all
things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in
which the Master Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the
Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period
as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders.
In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be
deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in
which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in
connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in
no event more than one Business Day after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof
and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than two
102
Business Days after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, all
revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw
therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance
of such REO Property including, without limitation:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that
may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall advance
from its own funds as Servicing Advances such amount as is necessary for such
purposes if, but only if, the Master Servicer would make such advances if the
Master Servicer owned the REO Property and if such Servicing Advance would not
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee
shall:
(i) authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with
respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any
income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other
than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize any construction on any REO Property, other than construction
permitted under Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more
than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless, in any such case, the Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel
(the cost of which shall constitute a Servicing Advance), a copy of which shall
be provided to the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, to the
effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at
any time that it is held by REMIC 1, in which case the Master Servicer may take
such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
The Master Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the
operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent
herewith;
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that
the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed
103
above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the
Master Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days
following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such
contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be
deemed to relieve the Master Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to
the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer with
respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(iv) the Master Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same
extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection
with the operation and management of such REO Property.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any
Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for
all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether
the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay
such fees; provided, however, that to the extent that any payments made by such
Independent Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Master
Servicer, such amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the
Master Servicer.
(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Master
Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO
Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect
of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer
for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO
Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Master Servicer Remittance Date,
the Master Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and
deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii),
for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01, the income from the related REO Property received during the prior
calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this
Section 3.23(d).
(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), each REO
Disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon
such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer shall deem necessary or
advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing activities for
similar properties.
(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to
be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any
payment or reimbursement to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided
above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account in accordance with Section
3.10(d)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date in the month following the
receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance
104
with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only (unless changes in
the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration).
(g) The Master Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the
receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of
foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of
indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by
Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be
in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by
such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
Section 3.24 Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit into the
Distribution Account on or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date from its own funds an amount ("Compensating Interest") equal to
the lesser of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the
related Distribution Date resulting solely from Principal Prepayments during the
related Prepayment Period and (ii) the amount of its aggregate Servicing Fee for
the most recently ended calendar month.
Section 3.25 Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of Mortgage Rates and
Monthly Payments.
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to
any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to adjustments to Mortgage
Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were made by the
Master Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Master Servicer, upon discovery or receipt
of notice thereof, immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and
any successor master servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities
shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 3.25 shall not limit the ability of the Master
Servicer to seek recovery of any such amounts from the related Mortgagor under
the terms of the related Mortgage Note, as permitted by law and shall not be an
expense of the Trust.
Section 3.26 Reserve Fund.
No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, shall establish and maintain with itself a separate,
segregated trust account titled, "Reserve Fund, Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of Long Beach Mortgage Loan
Trust 2004-4, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2004-4." The Trustee shall
account for the right to receive payments from the Reserve Fund as property that
the Trustee holds separate and apart from the REMIC Regular Interests.
(a) The following amounts shall be deposited into the Reserve Fund:
(i) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit all amounts received
with respect to the Cap Agreements;
105
(ii) On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deposit, or cause to be deposited,
into the Reserve Fund $1,000;
(iii) On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amount payable to any of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates or
the Class B Certificates, the Trustee has been directed by the Holders of the
Class C Certificates to, and therefore shall, deposit into the Reserve Fund the
amounts described in Section 4.01(d)(i)(cc); and
(iv) On each Distribution Date as to which there are no Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amounts, the Trustee shall deposit into the Reserve Fund on behalf of the
Holders of the Class C Certificates, from amounts otherwise distributable to
such Class C Certificates, an amount such that when added to other amounts
already on deposit in the Reserve Fund, the aggregate amount on deposit therein
is equal to $1,000.
(b) The Reserve Fund shall be segregated into two separate portions, for which
the Trustee shall keep separate accounts. "Portion 1" of the Reserve Fund shall
consist of amounts deposited pursuant to Section 3.26(a)(i), above, plus any
amounts earned on any such funds while on deposit in the Reserve Fund. "Portion
2" of the Reserve Fund shall consist of amounts deposited pursuant to Sections
3.26(a)(ii), (a)(iii), and (a)(iv), above, plus any amounts earned on any such
funds while on deposit in the Reserve Fund. Amounts distributed from the Reserve
Fund under Sections 4.01(d)(ii) and 3.26(c) shall be deemed to be distributed
first from Portion 1 of the Reserve Fund to the extent thereof and then from
Portion 2.
(c) Each Portion of the Reserve Fund shall be treated as an "outside reserve
fund" under applicable Treasury regulations and shall not be part of any REMIC
created hereunder. For federal and state income tax purposes, the Trustee shall
be deemed to be the owner of Portion 1 of the Reserve Fund and no amount shall
be transferred by any REMIC to Portion 1 of the Reserve Fund. For federal and
state income tax purposes, the Holders of the Class C Certificates shall be
deemed to be the owners of Portion 2 of the Reserve Fund and all amounts
deposited into Portion 2 of the Reserve Fund (other than the initial deposit
therein of $1,000) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 2 to REMIC
CX in respect of the Class C Interest, and then distributed by REMIC CX to the
Holders of the Class C Certificates. For federal and state income tax purposes,
payments in respect of the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and
the Class B 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 860G(a)(1).
(d) By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Holder of a Class C Certificate
shall be deemed to have directed the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall pursuant
to such direction, deposit into the Reserve Fund the amounts described in
Section 3.26(a)(iii) and (a)(iv) above on each Distribution Date. By accepting a
Class C Certificate, each Holder of a Class C Certificate further agrees that
such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance.
(e) At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the
Class C Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any depository institution
maintaining Portion 2 of the Reserve Fund to invest the funds in such account in
106
one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and
maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trustee
or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, and (ii) no later than the
date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant
to this Agreement, if the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such
investment. If no investment direction of the Holders of a majority in
Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates with respect to Portion 2 of the
Reserve Fund is received by the Trustee, the Trustee shall invest the funds in
Portion 2 of the Reserve Fund in Permitted Investments managed by the Trustee or
an Affiliate of the kind described in clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted
Investments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any funds in Portion 2 of the
Reserve Fund shall be invested in Deutsche Bank Cash Management Fund 541 for so
long as such investment complies with clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted
Investments. All income and gain earned upon such investment shall be deposited
into Portion 2 of the Reserve Fund. The Trustee shall hold the funds in Portion
1 of the Reserve Fund uninvested in an Eligible Account.
(f) For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the
Certificateholders to receive payment on account of the Class A Certificates,
the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates from the Reserve Fund in
respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.
Section 3.27 Advance Facility.
(a) The Trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund, at the direction of the Master
Servicer and with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, is hereby authorized to enter
into a facility with any Person which provides that such Person (an "Advancing
Person") may make all or a portion of the Advances and/or Servicing Advances to
the Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or
otherwise affect the Master Servicer's obligation to fund such Advances and/or
Servicing Advances. To the extent that an Advancing Person makes all or a
portion of any Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the Trustee with
notice acknowledged by the Master Servicer that such Advancing Person is
entitled to reimbursement, such Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive
reimbursement pursuant to this Agreement for such amount to the extent provided
in Section 3.27(b). Such notice from the Advancing Person shall specify the
amount of the reimbursement and shall specify which Section of this Agreement
permits the applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed. The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely without independent investigation on the
Advancing Person's statement with respect to the amount of any reimbursement
pursuant to this Section 3.27 and with respect to the Advancing Person's
statement with respect to the Section of this Agreement that permits the
applicable Advance or Servicing Advance to be reimbursed. An Advancing Person
whose obligations are limited to the making of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances shall not be required to meet the qualifications of a Master Servicer
or a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Article VI hereof and will not be deemed to be a
Sub-Servicer under this Agreement. If the terms of a facility proposed to be
entered into with an Advancing Person by the Trust Fund would not materially and
adversely affect the interests of any Certificateholder, then the NIMS Insurer
shall not withhold its consent to the Trust Fund's entering into such facility.
107
(b) If an advancing facility is entered into, then the Master Servicer shall not
be permitted to reimburse itself under any Section specified or for any amount
specified by the Advancing Person in the notice described under Section 3.27(a)
above and acknowledged by the Master Servicer prior to the remittance to the
Trust Fund, but instead the Master Servicer shall include such amounts in the
applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section 3.10(a). The
Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person reimbursements for
Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution Account to the same extent
the Master Servicer would have been permitted to reimburse itself for such
Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with the specified Sections had
the Master Servicer itself made such Advance or Servicing Advance. The Trustee
is hereby authorized to pay directly to the Advancing Person such portion of the
Servicing Fee as the parties to any advancing facility may agree.
(c) All Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a "first in-first out"
(FIFO) basis.
Section 3.28 PMI Policy; Claims Under the PMI Policy
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Article III, the
Master Servicer shall not agree to any modification or assumption of a PMI
Mortgage Loan or take any other action with respect to a PMI Mortgage Loan that
could result in denial of coverage under the PMI Policy. The Master Servicer
shall notify the PMI Insurer that the Trustee, as trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer, is the insured, as that term is
defined in the PMI Policy, of each PMI Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall,
on behalf of the Trustee, prepare and file on a timely basis with the PMI
Insurer, with a copy to the Trustee, all claims which may be made under the PMI
Policy with respect to the PMI Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall take
all actions required under the PMI Policy as a condition to the payment of any
such claim. Any amount received from the PMI Insurer with respect to any such
PMI Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Master Servicer, no later than two
Business Days following receipt thereof, into the Collection Account. On each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall pay to the PMI Insurer the PMI Insurer Fee
for such Distribution Date from the amounts on deposit in the Distribution
Account prior to making any distributions to the Certificateholders.

Section 3.30 Cap Agreements.
(a) The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute and deliver on behalf of
the Trust the Cap Agreements and authorizes the Trustee to perform its
obligations thereunder on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the terms of
each of the Cap Agreements.
(b) If the rating of the Cap Provider's obligations is withdrawn or reduced (in
the manner set forth in Section 17 of each of the Cap Agreements) below one of
the Approved Rating Thresholds (as defined in Section 17 of each of the Cap
Agreements), the Trustee shall, promptly after a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has received actual knowledge or written notice of the reduction or
withdrawal of the rating (it being understood that the Trustee has no duty to
monitor the ratings of the Cap Provider), request the Cap Provider to take
actions required to be taken by the Cap Provider by Section 17 of each of the
Cap Agreements.
108
(c) In the event that any of the Cap Agreements is canceled or otherwise
terminated for any reason (other than the exhaustion of the interest rate
protection provided thereby or replacement of such Cap Agreement by the Cap
Provider in accordance with Section 3.30(b)), the Depositor shall, to the extent
a replacement contract is available, direct the Trustee to obtain from a
counterparty designated by the Depositor a replacement contract comparable to
such Cap Agreement (which both such counterparty and such replacement contract
shall be acceptable to the Trustee and the Holders of the Certificates entitled
to at least 50% of the Voting Rights) providing interest rate protection which
is equal to the then-existing protection provided by such Cap Agreement,
provided, however, that if the cost of any such replacement contract providing
the same interest rate protection would be greater than the amount of any early
termination payment received by the Trustee under the related Cap Agreement, the
amount of interest rate protection provided by such replacement contract may be
reduced to a level such that the cost of such replacement contract shall not
exceed the amount of such early termination payment.

On the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class

Balance of the Group II Senior Certificates has been reduced to zero, after
making all other distributions on such Distribution Date (including to the Class

the Reserve Fund), the Trustee shall distribute to itself all remaining amounts
on deposit in Portion 1 of the Reserve Fund which were deposited in the Reserve
Fund on account of the Group II Senior Cap Agreement. On the Distribution Date
on which the Certificate Principal Balance of the Mezzanine Certificates and the
Class B Certificates has been reduced to zero, after making all other

the Master Servicer during the related Prepayment Period shall be withdrawn from
the Distribution Account and distributed by the Trustee to the Class P Interest,
and shall not be available for distribution to any other Class of Certificates.
The payment of the foregoing amounts in respect of such Regular Interests shall
not reduce the Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof.
(e) Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.01(b), by acceptance of the
Class R Certificates the Holders of the Class R Certificates agree, and it is
the understanding of the parties hereto, for so long as any of the NIM Notes are
outstanding, to pledge their rights to receive any amounts otherwise
distributable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (and such rights are
hereby assigned and transferred) to the Holders of the Class C Certificates to
be paid to the Holders of the Class C Certificates. By acceptance of the Class R
Certificates, the Holders of the Class R Certificates direct the Trustee to pay
any amounts due to the Holders of the Class R Certificates on the first
Distribution Date to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.
(f) All 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. Payments 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 this Section 4.01 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 Trustee 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 Original Class Certificate Principal Balance or Original Class
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 shall be made in like
manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or such other location specified in the
notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution. Payments to the
Certificate Insurer on any Distribution Date shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account designated by the Certificate Insurer
under the Premium Letter (as defined in the Insurance Agreement).
118
Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the
Depository, which shall credit 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. All such credits and disbursements
with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository and
the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of the
Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the
Seller shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by
applicable law.
(g) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions in respect of
the Certificates, and all interests of the Certificateholders in such
distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement. None of the Holders of
any Class of Certificates, the Trustee 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.
(h) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trustee expects
that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates shall be
made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no later than three (3)
days before the related Distribution Date, mail to the NIMS Insurer, the
Certificate Insurer and each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a
notice to the effect that:
(i) the Trustee 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 Trustee
therein specified, and
(ii) 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 Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder
or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to
this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee
shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates but
shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering
Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and
of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining
in such trust fund. If within one year after the final notice any such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, any amounts which
were paid by the Certificate Insurer under the Policy shall be reimbursed to the
Certificate Insurer and the Trustee shall pay to Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc.
119
and WaMu Capital Corp., equally, all such other remaining 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 Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder's
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with this Section 4.01(h).
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) in no event shall the

Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee by telecopy or electronic

the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, as the case may be, may agree from time to
time) a Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. Not
later than each Master Servicer Remittance Date (or, in the case of certain
information, as agreed between the Trustee and the Master Servicer, not later
125
than four Business Days after the end of each Due Period), the Master Servicer
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee in addition to the
information provided on the Remittance Report, such other information reasonably
available to it with respect to the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee may reasonably
require to perform the calculations necessary to make the distributions
contemplated by Section 4.01 and to prepare the statements to Certificateholders
contemplated by Section 4.03. The Trustee shall not be responsible to recompute,
recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the Master Servicer.
(b) The amount of Advances to be made by the Master Servicer for any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.04(d), the sum of (i) the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of
the related Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the

respect of the related Mortgage Loans, over the net income from such REO
Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.23 for
distribution on such Distribution Date.
On or before 3:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the
Master Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of
Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the
Collection Account, to the extent of funds held therein for future distribution
(in which case, it will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of
Collection Account that amounts held for future distribution have been, as
permitted by this Section 4.04, used by the Master 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 with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future
distribution and so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Master
Servicer's records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the
Collection Account on or before any future Master Servicer Remittance Date to
the extent that the Available Funds for the related Distribution Date
(determined without regard to Advances to be made on the Master 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. The Trustee will provide notice to the Certificate
Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer by telecopy by the close of
business on any Master Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount
remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee on such date is less than the
Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer for the related Distribution
Date.
(c) The obligation of the Master Servicer to make such Advances is mandatory,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to Section
4.04(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the
payment of the Mortgage Loan in full or the recovery of all Liquidation Proceeds
thereon.
126
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or Servicing
Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Master Servicer if such
Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance. The determination by the Master Servicer that it has made a
Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance or Servicing Advance, if
made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an
Officers' Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the Certificate
Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Trustee.

Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with
the designation "SUB" equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated

Section 4.06 Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) Prior to each Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall determine as to
each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if

the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates on such Distribution

4.01. All references above to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Mezzanine
Certificates and the Class B Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates immediately
prior to the relevant Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any
Realized Losses or increase thereof by any Subsequent Recoveries, in each case
to be allocated to such Mezzanine Certificates and Class B Certificates on such
Distribution Date.
Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Mezzanine Certificate or a Class B
Certificate on any Distribution Date shall be made by reducing the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. No allocations of any
Realized Losses shall be made to the Class A Certificates or the Class P
Certificates. Any Realized Losses that reduce the distributions in respect of
and/or the Uncertificated Principal Balance of the Class C Interest, shall be
allocated by the Trustee to reduce the distributions in respect of and/or the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class C Certificates.
(c) (i) 50% of all Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated by
the Trustee on each Distribution Date to the following REMIC 1 Regular Interests

Trustee on each Distribution Date to REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-1GRP, REMIC 1
Regular Interest LT1-1SUB, REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-2GRP, REMIC 1 Regular
Interest LT1-2SUB, and REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-XX, as follows:
131
after all distributions have been made on such Distribution Date, Realized
Losses shall be applied in such a manner as to keep the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation "GRP" equal
to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the
related Loan Group (determined as of the current Distribution Date), and the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with
the designation "SUB" equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group as of the
current Distribution Date over (y) the Certificate Principal Balance of the
Senior Certificates related to such Loan Group immediately prior to such
Distribution Date (except that if such excess is larger than it was for the
preceding Distribution Date, the least amount of Realized Loss shall be
allocated such that the REMIC 1 Subordinated Ratio is maintained); and then to
REMIC 1 Regular Interest LT1-XX.
(d) If on any Distribution Date Allocated Realized Loss Amounts are to be
reinstated due to Subsequent Recoveries, the Allocated Realized Loss Amounts
shall be reinstated by the Trustee on such Distribution Date to increase the
Certificate Principal Balances of the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B
Certificates in the following order of priority, in each case until the related
Allocated Realized Loss Amount has been reduced to zero: first, to the Class M-1
Certificates, second to the Class M-2 Certificates, third to the Class M-3

B Certificates. All Subsequent Recoveries to be allocated to the Certificate
Principal Balances of the Mezzanine Certificates or the Class B Certificates on
any Distribution Date shall be so allocated after the actual distributions to be
made on such date as provided in Section 4.01. All references above to the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B
Certificates shall be to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Mezzanine
Certificates and the Class B Certificates immediately prior to the relevant
Distribution Date, before reduction thereof by any Realized Losses or increase
thereof by any Subsequent Recoveries, in each case to be allocated to the
Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Any Allocated Realized Loss Amounts to be reinstated to a Certificate on any
Distribution Date due to Subsequent Recoveries shall be made by increasing the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so reinstated. No
allocations of any Subsequent Recoveries shall be made to the Class A
Certificates or the Class P Certificates.
(e) If on any Distribution Date Subsequent Recoveries occurred in the related
Prepayment Period, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries shall be allocated
among the REMIC 1 Regular Interests as follows:
(i) 50% of the Subsequent Recoveries from both Loan Groups shall be allocated
among the REMIC 1 Regular Interests in the same proportions and amounts, but in
the reverse order, as Realized Losses were allocated under Section 4.06(c)(i).
132
(ii) 50% of the Subsequent Recoveries from both Loan Groups shall be allocated
in the same proportions, but in reverse order, as the Realized Losses were
allocated under Section 4.06(c)(ii).
Section 4.07 Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall comply
with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to
Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Trustee
reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the
Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount
payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders.
Section 4.08 Commission Reporting.
(a) Within 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, in
accordance with industry standards and applicable regulations, file with the
Commission via the Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval system, a
Form 8-K with a copy of the statement to Certificateholders for such
Distribution Date as an Exhibit thereto. Prior to January 30, in the year
following the year of execution of this Agreement, the Trustee shall file in
accordance with industry standards a Form 15 Suspension Notification with
respect to the Trust Fund, if applicable, unless notified by the Depositor by
January 10 or the preceding Business Day of such year not to file such a Form 15
with respect to the Trust Fund. Prior to March 30, in the year following the
year of execution of this Agreement, the Depositor shall execute and the Trustee
shall file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards and
applicable regulations, with respect to the Trust Fund together with the
accompanying certification described below. The Trustee shall provide the Form
10-K to the Depositor by March 20 (or the preceding Business Day if such day is
not a Business Day) of the year that such Form 10-K is required to be filed. The
Depositor shall execute such Form 10-K and return the original to the Trustee by
March 25 (or the preceding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day). The
Trustee shall prepare, execute, file and deliver on behalf of the Depositor Form
8-Ks required to be filed under the Exchange Act so long as no certification in
respect of such Form 8-K is required by the Commission. The Depositor shall
prepare and the appropriate person shall execute, in accordance with the
Exchange Act or any other applicable law, any certification required under the
Exchange Act or any other applicable law to accompany the Form 10-K or any other
periodic report. The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of
attorney to execute and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor,
provided, however, that the Trustee shall not execute the Form 10-K on behalf of
the Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i)
receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power
of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund. The Depositor agrees to
promptly furnish to the Trustee, from time to time upon request, such further
information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to
prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. The Trustee shall
have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this
Section.

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
1.
The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits
A-1 through A-23. 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 Trustee and
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, to or upon the order of the
Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized signatory.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were
at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such 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 Trustee 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 Book Entry 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 the
Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another
Depository that agrees to hold the Book-Entry Certificates for the respective
Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners
shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to the Book-Entry
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 Trustee 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
134
to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and if the Trustee is not the
Book-Entry Custodian, the Trustee and 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 Trustee
resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, successor Trustee 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 Master Servicer, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer 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 the exercise by Certificateholders of 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. The
Depositor is hereby authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust the
Letter of Representations to be submitted on behalf of the Trust to the
Depository and to perform the obligations of the Issuer (as defined in the
Letter of Representations) thereunder. The Trustee is hereby authorized to
execute and deliver as agent of the Trust the Letter of Representations to be
submitted on behalf of the Trust to the Depository and to perform the
obligations of the Agent (as defined in the Letter of Representations)
thereunder. 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 Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in
connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders
and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee 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, (ii) the
Depositor notifies the Trustee and the Depository of its intent to terminate the
book-entry system through the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such
intent from the Depository, the Depository Participants with a position in the
Book Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination, or (iii) after the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners
representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests of
the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee 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 Trustee shall
notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any
such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate
Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry
Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of
transfer, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. 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
135
Servicer or the Trustee 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 Trustee, to the extent applicable
with respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize
the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
Section 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be
appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.12 a
Certificate Register 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, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class B Certificate,
Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate shall be made
unless such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and any applicable state
securities laws or is made in accordance with the 1933 Act and laws. In the
event of any such transfer of any Class B Certificate to be made without
registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial
sale of the Class B Certificates to the initial purchasers or the initial
issuance thereof), then the Trustee shall refuse to register such transfer
unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) a certificate
from the Class B Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit J-1A hereto and a certificate from
such Class B Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit J-1B hereto (which in the case of the Book-Entry
Certificates, the Class B Certificateholder and the Class B Certificateholder's
prospective transferee will be deemed to have represented such certification).
In the event of any such transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P
Certificate or Residual Certificate (other than in connection with (i) the
initial transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificates by the Depositor to the Seller, (ii) the transfer of any Class C
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Seller to an
Affiliate of the Seller or to a trust, the depositor of which is an Affiliate of
the Seller, (iii) the transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate
or Residual Certificates by an Affiliate of the Seller to one or more entities
sponsored by such Affiliate or to a trust, the depositor of which is one or more
entities sponsored by such Affiliate or (iv) a subsequent transfer of any Class
C Certificates, Class P Certificates or Residual Certificates to the Seller or
its designee by such entity or trust described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above to
which the Certificates were previously transferred in reliance on clauses (ii)
or (iii) above) (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as
evidenced by the investment letter delivered to the Trustee, in substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) under the 1933 Act, the Trustee and the
Depositor shall require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house
counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an
exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the
1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor or (ii) the Trustee
136
shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) and the transferee to
execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit J-2) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the
facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense
of the Trustee or the Depositor. The Holder of a Class B Certificate, Class C
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor
and the Trust Fund 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) Each Transferee of a Class A Certificate or Mezzanine Certificate will be
deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such
Certificate (or interest therein) that either (a) such Transferee is not a Plan
or purchasing such Certificate with Plan Assets as defined below, (b) it has
acquired and is holding such Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction
Exemption ("PTE") 90-59 at 55 F.R. 36924 (1990), as such PTE is further amended
by PTE 97-34 at 62 F.R. 39021 (July 21, 1997) and DOL Authorization Number
2003-14E (the "Exemption"), and that it understands that there are certain
conditions to the availability of the Exemption including that each of the Cap
Agreements is an "eligible yield supplement agreement" within the meaning of PTE
2000-58 and that such Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not
lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by a Rating Agency, or (c) the following
conditions are satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the
source of funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or interest therein)
is an "insurance company general account" (as defined in U.S. Department of
Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and (iii) the
conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
Each transferee of a Class B Certificate shall be deemed to have represented by
its purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) that the
conditions in clause (a) or clause (c)(i), (ii) and (iii) have been satisfied.
No transfer of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual
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") unless the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Master Servicer are provided with an Opinion of Counsel
which establishes to the satisfaction of the Depositor, the Trustee 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 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 Trustee or
the Trust Fund. Neither an Opinion of Counsel nor any certification will be
required in connection with the (i) initial transfer of any Class C Certificate,
Class P Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Depositor to the Seller,
(ii) the transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificates by the Seller to an Affiliate of the Seller or to a trust, the
137
depositor of which is an Affiliate of the Seller, (iii) the transfer of any
Class C Certificates, Class P Certificates or Residual Certificates by an
Affiliate of the Seller to one or more entities sponsored by such Affiliate or

entities sponsored by such Affiliate shall have deemed to have represented that
the applicable transferee is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and
the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which,
upon the request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the
Depositor of the status of each transferee, the Seller or such an Affiliate.
Each transferee of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual
Certificate shall sign a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit I to
demonstrate its compliance with this Section 5.02(c) (other than in connection

to an Affiliate of the Seller or to a trust, the depositor of which is an
Affiliate of the Seller, (iii) the transfer of any Class C Certificates, Class P
Certificates or Residual Certificates by an Affiliate of the Seller to one or
more entities sponsored by such Affiliate or to a trust the depositor of which
is one or more entities sponsored by such Affiliate or (iv) a subsequent
transfer of any Class C Certificates, Class P Certificates or Residual
Certificates to the Seller or its designee by such entity or trust described in
clauses (ii) or (iii) above to which the Certificates were previously
transferred in reliance on clauses (ii) or (iii) above).
If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of
the provisions of the preceding 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
paragraph shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims,
costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of that acquisition or
holding.
(d) 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 appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to
negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute
all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection
with any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the
Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(ii) No Person shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
unless such Ownership Interest is a pro rata undivided interest.
(iii) In connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall as a condition to registration of the
transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it, of
each of the following:
A. an affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferee to
the effect that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that it is not
acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject
of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is
138
not a Permitted Transferee; and
B. a covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed
transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions
applicable to the Residual Certificates.
(iv) Any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely
null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any
purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section,
become a Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such
Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery that
the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact
permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trustee shall not be under any liability to any Person for any
registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by this Section or for making any distributions due on such Residual Certificate
to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Trustee received the
documents specified in clause (iii). The Trustee shall be entitled to recover
from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted
Transferee at the time such distributions were made all distributions made on
such Residual Certificate. Any such distributions so recovered by the Trustee
shall be distributed and delivered by the Trustee to the prior Holder of such
Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.
(v) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this
Section, then the Trustee shall have the right but not the obligation, without
notice to the Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person having an
Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale of
such Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions (which
may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection
with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee
to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted
Transferee, except that in the event that the Trustee determines that the Holder
of such Residual Certificate may be liable for any amount due under this Section
or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee may withhold a
corresponding amount from such remittance as security for such claim. The terms
and conditions of any sale under this clause (v) shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the Trustee and it shall not be liable to any Person having an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
(vi) If any Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this
139
Section, then the Trustee will provide to the Internal Revenue Service, and to
the persons designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code, information needed to
compute the tax imposed under Section 860E(e)(1) of the Code on such transfer.
The foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers
occurring on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the
Trustee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, (i) written
notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the restrictions on
Transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating Agency to
downgrade its rating of any of the Other NIM Notes, the Insured NIM Notes
(without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer) or
the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such removal
will not cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the Trustee designated
from time to time for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee shall
execute and 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 Trustee maintained for such purpose
pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for
exchange the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates
which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so
required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(g) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates of any Class, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
canceled by the Trustee and disposed of pursuant to its standard procedures.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Certificate Insurer (in the case of a Class I-A1 Certificate) and the NIMS
Insurer (in the case of a Class C Certificate or Class P Certificate) such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them, and the
Trust Fund, harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
140
execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under
this Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in
connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section,
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust,
as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, the
NIMS Insurer and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee,
the Certificate Insurer or the NIMS Insurer may treat the Person, including a
Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer nor any agent
of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
ARTICLE VI
THE MASTER SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR
Section 6.01 Liability of the Master Servicer and the Depositor.
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 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 corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and 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,
141
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 Other NIM Notes, the
Class A Certificates (without giving effect to the Policy), the Mezzanine
Certificates and the Class B Certificates and the shadow rating of the Insured
NIM Notes (without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS
Insurer) 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 to the Trustee).
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
Others.
None of the Depositor, 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 or the Depositor, as
applicable, 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 Master Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor 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 Depositor,
the Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor or the Master Servicer 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. Neither the Depositor nor 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 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 (which consent shall
not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action by either to
enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder), 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 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 and the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and
to the extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being
prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive any amount in the
Collection Account.
142
The Master Servicer (except the Trustee to the extent it has succeeded the
Master Servicer as required hereunder) indemnifies and holds the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Trust Fund harmless against any and all claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the Trustee, the
Depositor or the Trust Fund may sustain in any way related to the failure of the
Master Servicer to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
immediately notify the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and
the Depositor if a claim is made that may result in such claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees or related costs, judgments, or any
other costs, fees and expenses, and the Master Servicer shall assume (with the
consent of the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and/or the Trust Fund in respect of
such claim. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the outstanding Certificates.
Section 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby
imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no
longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer or the NIMS Insurer and written confirmation
from each Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor
and the Trustee) that such resignation will not cause such Rating Agency to
reduce the then current rating of any of the Other NIM Notes, the Class A
Certificates (without giving effect to the Policy), the Mezzanine Certificates
or the Class B Certificates or the shadow rating of the Insured NIM Notes
(without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer). Any
such determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence permitting
the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer and
delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer. No resignation of the
Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer
reasonably acceptable to the NIMS Insurer or Certificate Insurer shall have
assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than
those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and
obligations under this Agreement.
Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign or
transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other
Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any other
Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by
the Master Servicer hereunder. The foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not
prohibit the Master Servicer from designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any
indemnification amount payable to the Master Servicer hereunder; provided,
however, that as provided in Section 3.06 hereof, no Sub-Servicer shall be a
third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required
to recognize any Sub-Servicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement. If,
pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are
transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing
Fee and other compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall
thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer.
143
Section 6.05 Rights of the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer
and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide
that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the
NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business
hours, access to all records maintained by the Master Servicer (and any such
Sub-Servicer) in respect of the Master Servicer's rights and obligations
hereunder and access to officers of the Master Servicer (and those of any such
Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations. Upon request, the Master
Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee its (and any such Sub-Servicer's) most recent financial
statements and such other information relating to the Master Servicer's capacity
to perform its obligations under this Agreement that it possesses. To the extent
such information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor, the
Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee shall not disseminate any
information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences without the Master
Servicer's (or any such Sub-Servicer's) written consent, except as required
pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is necessary to do so (i) in
working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental
agencies, rating agencies or reinsurers 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, the Certificate
Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund, and in either case,
the Depositor or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall use, and the Certificate
Insurer and the NIMS Insurer shall be deemed to have agreed with the parties
hereto to 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.
ARTICLE VII

"Master Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee for distribution
to the Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer any payment (other than an
Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Master Servicer Remittance
Date pursuant to Section 4.04) required to be made under the terms of the
Certificates and this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of one

Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or
144
(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform
in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the

period of 45 days (30 days in the case of any failure to maintain a
Sub-Servicing Agreement with an eligible Sub-Servicer to the extent required in
accordance with Section 3.02(c)) after the earlier of (i) the date on which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee, or to the
Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii)
actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Representative of the Master
Servicer; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having

federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the
winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the
Master Servicer and if such proceeding is being contested by the Master Servicer
in good faith, such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or
unstayed for a period of 60 days or results in the entry of an order for relief
or any such adjudication or appointment; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent 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 it or of or
relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts

applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors; or
(vi) any failure by the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer Termination Test;
or
(vii) any failure of the Master Servicer to make, or cause an Advancing Person
to make, any Advance on any Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be made
from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.04 which continues unremedied until
3:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day immediately following the Master
Servicer Remittance Date; or
(viii) the Master Servicer ceases to be an approved seller or servicer of Xxxxxx
Xxx.
145
If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (vi) of
this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor or
the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the NIMS Insurer or the Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by
notice in writing to the NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer (and to the
Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor),
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its
capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by
law, and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Master
Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (vii) or (viii) hereof shall
occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (delivered
immediately by facsimile and effective on the date of acknowledgement of receipt
in the case of a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clause (vii)),
the NIMS Insurer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement
and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the
receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans
or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under
this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of
and at the expense of the Master Servicer, 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, at its sole cost
and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days
subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records
requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's functions under
this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination
of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day to the
Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be
or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account
held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, or any REO Account or Servicing
Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or thereafter be received
with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that
the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued
or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination,
whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled
to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with
respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this
Section 7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master
Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of Trustee assigned to
and working in the Trustee's Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof
or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer
Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the
Certificates, any of the Trust REMICs or this Agreement.
The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Master Servicer (or by the
Trust Fund if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its obligations
hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing from the
predecessor master servicer, including without limitation, any costs or expenses
associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion,
correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the
Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or
otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans properly and
effectively.
146
Section 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination,
the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its
capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth
or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties
and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter, which shall be assumed
by the Trustee (except for any representations or warranties of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts in respect of
losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions hereof including,
without limitation, the Master Servicer's obligations to make Advances pursuant
to Section 4.04; provided, however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or
regulation from obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent Mortgage
Loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to make Advances pursuant to
Section 4.04; and provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's failure to provide information
required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, it is understood
and acknowledged by the parties that there will be a period of transition (not
to exceed 90 days) before the servicing transfer is fully effected. As
compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and
all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Master Servicer would have
been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder (other than amounts which
were due or would become due to the Master Servicer prior to its termination or
resignation). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall
the Trustee be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in the
amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce
any successor Master Servicer to act as successor Master Servicer under this
Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein. After the
Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, notwithstanding the above and
subject to the next paragraph, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so
act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from
making advances regarding delinquent Mortgage Loans, or if the NIMS Insurer or
the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so
request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing
institution acceptable to each Rating Agency, having a net worth of not less
than $15,000,000 and reasonably acceptable to the NIMS Insurer, as the successor
to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all or any part
of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement.
No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement shall
be effective until the assumption by the successor of all of the Master
Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. In connection
with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage
Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer as such
hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action,
147
consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such
succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.
Upon removal or resignation of the Master Servicer, the Trustee, with the
cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall solicit bids for a successor Master
Servicer as described below and (y) pending the appointment of a successor
Master Servicer as a result of soliciting such bids, shall serve as Master
Servicer of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such predecessor Master Servicer. The
Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing and home
finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting the
qualifications set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 7.02 (including
the Trustee or any affiliate thereof). Such public announcement shall specify
that the successor Master Servicer shall be entitled to the servicing
compensation agreed upon between the Trustee, the successor Master Servicer and
the Depositor; provided, however, that no such fee shall exceed the Servicing
Fee. Within thirty days after any such public announcement, the Trustee with the
cooperation of the Depositor, shall negotiate in good faith and effect the sale,
transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder
to the qualified party submitting the highest satisfactory bid as to the price
they will pay to obtain such servicing. The Trustee, upon receipt of the
purchase price shall pay such purchase price to the Master Servicer being so
removed, after deducting from any sum received by the Trustee from the successor
to the Master Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all
costs and expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and
assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities reasonably incurred
hereunder. After such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the
Trustee to the Master Servicer at the time of such sale.
(b) If the Master Servicer fails to remit to the Trustee for distribution to the
Certificateholders or the Certificate Insurer any payment required to be made
under the terms of this Agreement (for purposes of this Section 7.02(b), a
"Remittance") because the Master Servicer is the subject of a proceeding under
the Bankruptcy Code and the making of such Remittance is prohibited by Section
362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Trustee shall upon written notice of such
prohibition, regardless of whether it has received a notice of termination under
Section 7.01, shall be treated as though it had succeeded to the Master Servicer
and shall advance the amount of such Remittance by depositing such amount in the
Distribution Account on the related Distribution Date. The Trustee shall be
obligated to make such advance only if (i) such advance, in the good faith
judgment of the Trustee can reasonably be expected to be ultimately recoverable
from Stayed Funds and (ii) the Trustee is not prohibited by law from making such
advance or obligating itself to do so. Upon remittance of the Stayed Funds to
the Trustee or the deposit thereof in the Distribution Account by the Master
Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy or a federal bankruptcy court, the Trustee may
recover the amount so advanced, without interest, by withdrawing such amount
from the Distribution Account; however, nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to affect the Trustee's rights to recover from the Master Servicer's own
funds interest on the amount of any such advance. If the Trustee at any time
makes an advance under this subsection which it later determines in its good
faith judgment will not be ultimately recoverable from the Stayed Funds with
respect to which such advance was made, the Trustee shall be entitled to
reimburse itself for such advance, without interest, by withdrawing from the
Distribution Account, out of amounts on deposit therein, an amount equal to the
portion of such advance attributable to the Stayed Funds.
148
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 shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and to the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer.
(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 Default 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 all Holders of Certificates, the Certificate Insurer and to
the NIMS Insurer notice of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master
Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
Section 7.04 Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights evidenced by all
Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Master Servicer Event of
Default hereunder may, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, waive such default
or Master Servicer Event of Default; provided, however, that a default or Master
Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vii) of Section 7.01 may be
waived only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates and the NIMS
Insurer (as evidenced by the written consent of the NIMS Insurer). Upon any such
waiver of a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master
Servicer Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been
remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
ARTICLE VIII
THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and
after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have
occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Master Servicer Event of
Default, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in
this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found
not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the
Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument
corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee's satisfaction,
the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer.
149
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its
own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, and after the
curing of all such Master Servicer Events of Default which may have occurred,
the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for
the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in
this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of
the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee that conform to the
requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment made in
good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the direction of the NIMS Insurer or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may request and rely conclusively upon and shall be fully
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 evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof shall be
subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be
full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
Opinion of Counsel;
150
(iii) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or
powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of
any of the NIMS Insurer or the Certificateholders (including the Certificate
Insurer exercising the rights of the Holders of the Class I-A1 Certificates),
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless the NIMS Insurer or such
Certificateholders (including the Certificate Insurer exercising the rights of
the Holders of the Class I-A1 Certificates) shall have offered to the Trustee
security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein
shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a
Master Servicer Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's
own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the
discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder and
after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default which may have
occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper
or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the NIMS Insurer or the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights (including
the Certificate Insurer exercising the rights of the Holders of the Class I-A1
Certificates); provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time
to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it
in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer or such Certificateholders
(including the Certificate Insurer exercising the rights of the Holders of the
Class I-A1 Certificates), the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against
such expense, or liability from the NIMS Insurer or such Certificateholders
(including the Certificate Insurer exercising the rights of the Holders of the
Class I-A1 Certificates) as a condition to taking any such action;
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform
any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents custodians,
nominees or attorneys and shall not be responsible for any willful misconduct or
negligence of such agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys (as long as such
agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys are appointed with due and proper
care);
(vii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss resulting from the
investment of funds held in the Collection Account at the direction of the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12; and
151
(viii) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, none of the provisions of
this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise to incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
(not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee's performance in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to
it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.
(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 and the Certificate Insurer (if applicable), subject to the
provisions of this Agreement.
Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature
of the Trustee, the execution and authentication of the Trustee on the
Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in Article II and the
representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section 8.13) shall be taken as
the statements of the Depositor, and the Trustee shall not assume any
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or
warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as
specifically set forth in Section 8.13) or of the Certificates (other than
execution and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any
Mortgage Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the
proceeds of the 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 Collection Account by the Master Servicer,
other than any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with
Section 3.10.
Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee 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 and may transact banking and/or trust business with the Seller, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or their Affiliates.
Section 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
(a) On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall pay to the Trustee as specified in
a separate agreement between the Depositor and the Trustee. The Trustee shall
withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date and pay to
itself the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date and one day's interest
earnings (net of losses) on amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account. The
152
right to receive the Trustee Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part
except in connection with the transfer of all of the Trustee's responsibilities
and obligations under this Agreement.
The Trustee, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall
be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability
or expense (not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made
by the Trustee, including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of
its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course of the Trustee's performance in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its
obligations (including, without limitation, its obligation to enter into the Cap
Agreements) and duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or
expense (i) in any way relating to the failure of the Master Servicer to perform
its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement, (ii) that constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee pursuant to
Section 10.01(c) or (iii) 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, including as a result of a breach of the Trustee's obligations under
Article X hereof. Any amounts payable to the Trustee or any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Trustee in respect of the indemnification provided by
this paragraph (a), or pursuant to any other right of reimbursement from the
Trust Fund that the Trustee or any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Trustee may have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the
Trustee from the Distribution Account at any time. Such indemnity shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the Trustee.
As a limitation on the foregoing with respect to certain expenses of the
Trustee, the Trustee shall receive from the Trust Fund amounts with respect to
indemnification for counsel fees and expenses (collectively, "Legal Fees") in
connection with any third-party litigation or other claims alleging violations
of laws or regulations relating to consumer lending and/or servicing of the
Trust Fund (collectively, "Third Party Claims") in an amount not greater than
$25,000 per month, and $600,000 in the aggregate (with amounts in excess of
$25,000 for any month carried-forward to subsequent months, until the $600,000
aggregate maximum is reached). The Trustee shall have no obligation to incur
additional expenses for which reimbursement is limited pursuant to this
paragraph in excess of the aggregate limit set forth above unless it has
received reasonable security or indemnity for such additional expenses. The
Certificateholders shall hold the Trustee harmless for any consequences to such
Certificateholders resulting from any failure of the Trustee to incur any such
additional expenses in excess of the aforementioned aggregate limit.
(b) Without limiting the Master Servicer's indemnification obligations under
Section 6.03, the Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold
it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a breach of
the Master Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement. Such
indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee. Any payment under this Section 8.05(b)
made by the Master Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Master Servicer's
own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.
153
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or an association
(other than the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of
the foregoing) organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the
United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such
corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of conditions so
published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07 Resignation or Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS
Insurer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon
receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall with the Certificate
Insurer's consent promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and to
the successor Trustee acceptable to the NIMS Insurer and to the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer
and the Master Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor Trustee shall have
been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving
of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer or the NIMS Insurer, or if at
any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, then the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer, may remove the Trustee and
the Depositor may appoint a successor Trustee, acceptable to the NIMS Insurer or
the Certificate Insurer and to the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
51% of the Voting Rights, by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument
shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and to the successor Trustee. A
copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the
Certificate Insurer and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, with
the consent of the NIMS Insurer, may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint
a successor Trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed
by the NIMS Insurer or such Holders, as applicable, 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 so removed and one complete set to
the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the
Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificateholders and the Master
Servicer by the Depositor.
154
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
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.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee.
Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, and to its predecessor Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein. The
predecessor Trustee shall deliver to the successor Trustee all Mortgage Files
and related documents and statements, as well as all moneys, held by it
hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by a Custodian, which
Custodian shall become the agent of any successor Trustee hereunder), and the
Depositor and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and
certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights,
powers, duties and obligations.
No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless
at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such successor Trustee
shall not result in a downgrading of the ratings of any of the Other NIM Notes
or of any Class of Certificates or of the shadow ratings of the Insured NIM
Notes (without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the NIMS Insurer)
by any Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this
Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee
hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days
after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or association resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a
party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
155
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 1,
or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee, acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee,
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 1, and to
vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC 1, or any
part thereof and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such
powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the
Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not
have joined in such appointment or the NIMS Insurer shall not have approved such
appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in
case a Master Servicer Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee
or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be
required under Section 8.08 hereof. If such appointment is at the request of the
Master Servicer then any expense of the Trustee shall be deemed a Servicing
Advance for all purpose of this Agreement, otherwise it will be an expense of
the Trustee and will be payable out of the Trustee's funds.
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 the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations (including the holding of title to REMIC 1, 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.
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.
156
Section 8.11 Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may, with the consent of the Depositor and the Master Servicer,
appoint one or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files as
agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. The Trustee shall
initially serve as the Custodian and this Agreement shall serve as the Custodial
Agreement. The appointment of any Custodian may at any time be terminated and a
substitute Custodian appointed therefor upon the reasonable request of the
Master Servicer to the Trustee and the consent of the NIMS Insurer, the consent
to which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee shall pay any and all
fees and expenses of any Custodian (other than the Washington Mutual Custodian)
in accordance with each Custodial Agreement. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the
Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to
enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the Custodian for the benefit
of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer having an interest in any
Mortgage File held by such Custodian. Each 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. Each Custodial Agreement may be amended only as provided in
Section 11.01. In no event shall the appointment of any Custodian pursuant to a
Custodial Agreement diminish the obligations of the Trustee hereunder. The
Trustee shall at all times remain responsible under the terms of this Agreement
notwithstanding the fact that certain duties have been assigned to the Custodian
(other than the Washington Mutual Custodian), but only to the extent the Trustee
is responsible for its own acts hereunder. Any documents delivered by the
Depositor or the Master Servicer to a Custodian other than the Trustee, if any,
shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Trustee for all purposes
hereunder; and any documents held by such a Custodian, if any, shall be deemed
to be held by the Trustee for all purposes hereunder. In order to comply with
its duties under the U.S. Patriot Act, the Custodian shall obtain and verify
certain information and documentation from the other parties to this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, such parties' name, address, and other
identifying information.
Section 8.12 Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will appoint an office or agency in the City of New York 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
Trustee in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served. As of
the Closing Date, the Trustee designates its offices located at the office of
Trustee's agent, located at DTC Transfer Agent Services, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Entrance, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 for such purpose.
Section 8.13 Representations and Warranties of the Trustee.
The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Master Servicer, the Depositor
and the Certificate Insurer, as of the Closing Date, that:
(i) it is a national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the United States.
(ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance and
compliance with the terms of this Agreement, will not violate its charter 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.
157
(iii) 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.
(iv) this Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the
Master Servicer and the Depositor, constitutes its valid, legal and binding
obligation, 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.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
Section 9.01 Termination Upon Purchase 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 and the Trustee
(other than the obligations of the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 8.05 and of the Master Servicer to provide for and the Trustee to make
payments in respect of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests, REMIC 2 Regular Interests
and the Classes of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon
the payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or
on behalf of the Trustee 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 1 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 1; provided, however, that in no event shall the
trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death
of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date
hereof. The purchase by the Terminator of all Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC 1 shall be at a price (the "Termination Price")
equal to (a) if the Terminator is the Master Servicer, 100% of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of all the Mortgage Loans included in REMIC 1 and
accrued interest on the Stated Principal Balance of each such Mortgage Loan at
the applicable Net Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time from the Due Date
as to which interest was last paid by the related Mortgagor or by an advance by
the Master Servicer to but not including the first day of the month in which
such purchase is to be effected, plus the appraised value of each REO Property,
if any, included in REMIC 1, such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser
selected by the Terminator in its reasonable discretion and (b) if the
158
Terminator is the NIMS Insurer, the greater of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price
of all the Mortgage Loans included in REMIC 1, plus the appraised value of each
REO Property, if any, included in REMIC 1, such appraisal to be conducted by an
appraiser selected by the Terminator in its reasonable discretion, and (B) the
aggregate fair market value of all of the assets of REMIC 1 (as determined by
the Terminator, 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 the third paragraph of this Section 9.01), and
any additional amounts necessary to pay all interest accrued on, as well as
amounts necessary to pay in full the principal balance of, the NIM Notes and any
amounts necessary to reimburse the NIMS Insurer for all amounts paid under the
NIMs insurance policy and any other amounts reimbursable or otherwise payable to
the NIMS Insurer, in each case, with interest thereon at the applicable rate set
forth in the Indenture and to the extent not previously reimbursed or paid. If a
termination pursuant to this Section 9.01(a) or Section 9.01(b) will result in a
claim under the Policy or if any amount owed to the Certificate Insurer under
the Insurance Agreement will not be fully reimbursed after such termination, the
consent of the Certificate Insurer shall be required prior to the Terminator
exercising such option.
(b) The Master Servicer shall have the right and, if the Master Servicer does
not 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 1 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 1 pursuant to clause (i)
of the preceding paragraph 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 Cut-off Date Principal Balance
of the Closing Date Mortgage Loans; provided, further, that the consent of the
Holders of the Class R Certificates shall be required (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld) for the Terminator to make such election if at the
time of such election the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund is equal to or less than
10% but greater than 5% of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Closing
Date Mortgage Loans. Additionally, if the Terminator is the Master Servicer, the
Terminator may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property
in REMIC 1 pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding paragraph only if the
Termination Price (A) is equal to or less than the aggregate fair market value
of all of the assets of REMIC 1 (as determined by the Terminator, 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
Section 9.01(c)) and (B) will result in distributions on the Certificates
sufficient (together with all amounts received under the Indenture other than on
account of the Certificates) to pay all interest accrued on, as well as amounts
necessary to pay in full the principal balance of, the NIM Notes and any amounts
necessary to reimburse the NIMS Insurer for all amounts paid under the NIMs
insurance policy and any other amounts reimbursable or otherwise payable to the
NIMS Insurer, in each case, with interest thereon at the applicable rate set
forth in the Indenture and to the extent not previously reimbursed or paid
(unless the NIMS Insurer consents to a lesser Termination Price). By acceptance
of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree for
so long as any NIM Notes 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 C Certificates.
159
(c) Notice of the liquidation of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be given
promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders and the Certificate
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 15th day and not later than the 25th 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 final payment in respect of
the REMIC 1 Regular Interests and the related Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the related Certificates at the office of the
Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii)
that no interest shall accrue in respect of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests or the
related 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 Trustee
designated in such notice for purposes of such surrender. The Trustee shall
remit to the Master Servicer from such funds deposited in the Distribution
Account (i) any amounts which the Master Servicer would be permitted to withdraw
and retain from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11 and (ii) any
other amounts otherwise payable by the Trustee to the Master Servicer from
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, in each case prior to making any final distributions pursuant to
Section 9.01(d) below. Upon certification to the Trustee by a Servicing
Representative of the making of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly
release or cause to be released 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 Trustee 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 by the Trustee and credited
to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any
Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the
time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the
remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall, directly or through an
agent, mail a final notice to remaining related 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 funds. If within one year after
the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall pay any amounts paid by the Certificate Insurer
to the Certificate Insurer and to Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. and WaMu
Capital Corp., equally, all such other remaining 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 Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this
Section 9.01.
160
Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in respect of the
Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.

that time.

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) unless such expenses, professional fees or any
administrative or judicial proceedings are incurred by reason of the Trustee's

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

(d) The Trustee shall prepare, sign and file in a timely manner, all of the Tax
Returns in respect of each REMIC created hereunder, copies of which Tax Returns
shall be promptly furnished to the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate Insurer. The
expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Trustee
162
without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Master Servicer shall provide
on a timely basis to the Trustee or its designee such information with respect
to the assets of the Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required
by the Trustee to enable it to perform its respective obligations under this
Article.
(e) The Trustee 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 such other compliance guidance,
the Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Residual Certificate (or
other person designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code) and to the Internal
Revenue Service such information as is necessary for the computation 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

representative of each Trust REMIC. The Master Servicer shall provide on a
timely basis to the Trustee such information with respect to the assets of the
Trust Fund, including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans, as is in its
possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to perform its
obligations under this subsection. In addition, the Depositor shall provide or
cause to be provided to the Trustee, within ten (10) days after the Closing
Date, all information or data that the Trustee 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. The Depositor shall also
provide such information or data to the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate
Insurer.
(f) The Trustee shall take such action and shall cause each Trust REMIC created
hereunder to take such action as shall be necessary to create or maintain the
status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the Master Servicer
shall assist the Trustee, to the extent reasonably requested by the Trustee to
do specific actions in order to assist in the maintenance of such status). The
Trustee shall not take any action, 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 set forth in Section 860F(a) 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 Certificate Insurer and
the NIMS Insurer have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee,
the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer (at the expense of the party
seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to
the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to any Trust
REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of such a tax, nor shall
the Master Servicer take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized
hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that it has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could
occur with respect to such action; provided that the Master Servicer may
conclusively rely on such Opinion of Counsel and shall incur no liability for
its action or failure to act in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel. The
Trustee shall deliver to the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer a copy of
any such advice or opinion. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect
to any Trust REMIC or the assets thereof, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any
163
action, which is not contemplated under the terms of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in writing, with respect
to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect
to a Trust REMIC, and the Master Servicer shall not take any such action or
cause any Trust REMIC to take any such action as to which the Trustee has
advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur; provided that the
Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such writing and shall incur no
liability for its action or failure to act in accordance with such writing. The
Trustee 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. At
all times as may be required by the Code, the Trustee will ensure that
substantially all of the assets of REMIC 1 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.
(g) If any tax is imposed on prohibited transactions of any Trust REMIC created
hereunder pursuant to Section 860F(a) of the Code, on the net income from
foreclosure property of any such REMIC pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code,
or on any contributions to any such REMIC after the Startup Day therefor
pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or if 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 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, (ii) 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 (iii) otherwise against
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal
therefrom. (h) On or before April 15 of each calendar year commencing after the
date of this Agreement, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer, the
Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and each Rating Agency a Certificate from
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating the Trustee's compliance with this
Article X.
(i) The Trustee 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, the Trustee shall not 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 any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject any Trust REMIC to
any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal,
state and local law or ordinances.
(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement
by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services
or permit any Trust 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.
164
Section 10.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer 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 1, (iii) the termination of REMIC 1 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 Collection Account or 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, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer have received an Opinion
of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer 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) 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 Trustee, Master Servicer and Depositor Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the
Certificate Insurer and the Master Servicer for any taxes and costs including,
without limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or incurred by the
Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Master Servicer as a result of a breach of the
Trustee's covenants set forth in this Article X or any state, local or franchise
taxes imposed upon the Trust as a result of the location of the Trustee.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Depositor, the
Certificate Insurer and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys' fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust
Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee as a result of a breach of the Master
Servicer's covenants set forth in Article III or this Article X or any state,
local or franchise taxes imposed upon the Trust as a result of the location of
the Master Servicer or any subservicer.
(c) The Depositor agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer, the
Certificate Insurer and the Trustee for any taxes and costs including, without

Depositor's covenants set forth in this Article X.

ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01 Amendment.
This Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, if applicable, the
Custodian, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, and without the consent of any
of the 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 in any Custodial Agreement, (iii) to
modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be
necessary or desirable to maintain the qualification of the Trust Fund as a
REMIC at all times that any Certificate is outstanding or to avoid or minimize
the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund pursuant to the Code
that would be a claim against the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee, the
NIMS Insurer, the Depositor and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that (A) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain
such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any
such tax and (B) such action will not adversely affect the status of the Trust
Fund as a REMIC or adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any
Certificateholder or (iv) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
or questions arising under this Agreement or in any Custodial Agreement which
shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or such
Custodial Agreement, provided that, in each case, such action shall not, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the parties hereto and the NIMS
Insurer, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder and, provided, further, that (A) such action will not affect
in any material respect the permitted activities of the Trust and (B) such
action will not increase in any material respect the degree of discretion which
the Master Servicer is allowed to exercise in servicing the Mortgage Loans. 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 or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time
by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, if applicable, the
Custodian, with the consent of the NIMS Insurer, and with the consent of 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 any Custodial 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 in a manner, other than as described in
(i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing
at least 66% of the Voting Rights allocated to such Class, or (iii) modify the
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.
166
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment to this Agreement shall require the
prior written consent of the Certificate Insurer if such amendment adversely
affects in any respect the rights or interests of the Certificate Insurer or of
the Class I-A1 Certificates (without giving effect to the Policy). The Master
Servicer shall send a copy of any proposed amendment to this Agreement to the
Certificate Insurer prior to execution of the amendment. The Certificate Insurer
shall notify the Trustee in writing, within a reasonable time following its
receipt of a copy of the proposed amendment, whether the Certificate Insurer has
determined that its consent to such amendment is required. No amendment shall be
deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Certificate Insurer if the Certificate Insurer shall have consented thereto. The
Person seeking an amendment without the Certificate Insurer's consent shall
prior to execution of the amendment deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate
Insurer and the NIMS Insurer an Opinion of Counsel (which counsel shall be
Independent) to the effect that such amendment does not adversely affect in any
respect the rights or interests of the Certificate Insurer or of the Class I-A1
Certificates (without giving effect to the Policy). Such Opinion of Counsel
shall be full and complete authorization and protection of the Trustee in
respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by the Trustee under this
Section 11.01 and under Section 12.02 in accordance with such Opinion of
Counsel.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer shall be entitled to receive an Opinion
of Counsel 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 Trustee shall furnish a
copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the Certificate Insurer and
the NIMS Insurer.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this Section
11.01 shall be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in no
event shall such Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant
to this Section that affects its rights, duties and immunities under this
Agreement or otherwise.
Section 11.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to
recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all
the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the
properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate
public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Master Servicer at the expense of the Trust, but only upon direction of
Certificateholders accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
167
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 together constitute but one and the
same instrument.
Section 11.03 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i) operate to
terminate this Agreement or the Trust, (ii) entitle such Certificateholder's
legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, or (iii)
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall have any
right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of
the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein
set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to
constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an
association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third
person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant
to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this
Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon
or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall
have given to the Trustee and the Certificate Insurer a written notice of
default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless
also the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights
shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit
or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 15 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is
understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any
provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the
Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, which priority or
preference is not otherwise provided for herein, or to enforce any right under
this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable
and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement
of the provisions of this Section 11.03 each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

Section 11.10 Grant of Security Interest.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the
Mortgage Loans and the other property specified in Section 2.01 by the Depositor
to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale and not a pledge 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 or
other property conveyed to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 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 and all other
property conveyed to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 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 and all other property conveyed to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 2.01 in accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the
conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments,
securities or other property, including without limitation all amounts, other
than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection
Account, the Policy Payments Account and the Distribution Account, whether in
the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations
secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor's
obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the
Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans
and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property, and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest in
the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the
preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance
171
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.

Insurer.
The Trustee shall hold the Trust Fund and the Mortgage Files for the benefit of
the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer and all references in this

Certificates to the benefit of Holders of the Certificates shall be deemed to
include the Certificate Insurer. The Trustee shall cooperate in all reasonable
respects with any reasonable request by the Certificate Insurer for action to
preserve or enforce the Certificate Insurer's rights or interests under this

Certificateholders and for the benefit of the Certificate Insurer, and all
references in this Agreement (including, without limitation, in Section 3.01) to
the benefit of or actions on behalf of the Certificateholders shall be deemed to

Section 12.04 Claims Upon the Policy; The Policy Payments Account.
(a) If, at or before 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the second Business Day prior
to a Distribution Date, the Trustee determines that a Guaranteed Distributions
Shortfall for such Distribution Date is greater than zero, then the Trustee
shall give notice to the Certificate Insurer by telephone or telecopy of the
amount of such Guaranteed Distributions Shortfall. Such notice of such
Guaranteed Distributions Shortfall shall be confirmed in writing in the form set
forth as Exhibit A to the Endorsement to the Policy, to the Certificate Insurer
and the Fiscal Agent (as defined in the Policy), if any, at or before 2:00 p.m.
New York time on the second Business Day prior to such Distribution Date.
Following Receipt (as defined in the Policy) by the Certificate Insurer of such
notice in such form, the Certificate Insurer or the Fiscal Agent will pay any
amount payable under the Policy on the later to occur of (i) 12:00 noon New York
time on the second Business Day following such receipt and (ii) 12:00 noon New

(b) The Trustee shall establish a segregated non-interest bearing trust account
for the benefit of Holders of the Class I-A1 Certificates and the Certificate
Insurer referred to herein as the "Policy Payments Account" over which the
Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. The Trustee
shall deposit any amount paid under the Policy in the Policy Payments Account
and distribute such amount only for purposes of payment to Holders of the Class
I-A1 Certificates of the Guaranteed Distributions Shortfall or any amount in
respect of a Preference Claim (as described in Section 12.04(d)) for which a
claim under the Policy was made, and such amount may not be applied to satisfy
any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Trust Fund. Amounts paid under the Policy shall be transferred to the
Distribution Account in accordance with the next succeeding paragraph and
disbursed by the Trustee to Holders of the Class I-A1 Certificates in accordance
with Section 4.01(k) (or, in the case of an amount in respect of a Preference
Claim, to the related Holders of the Class I-A1 Certificates as contemplated in
Section 12.04(d)). It shall not be necessary for such payments to be made by
checks or wire transfers separate from the checks or wire transfers used to pay
the other distributions to be made to such Holders pursuant to Section 4.01.
However, the amount of any payment of principal of or interest on the Class I-A1
Certificates to be paid from funds transferred from the Policy Payments Account
shall be noted as provided in paragraph (c) below in the Certificate Register
and in the statement to be furnished to Holders of the Class I-A1 Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.03. Funds held in the Policy Payments Account shall not be
invested.
On any Distribution Date with respect to which a claim has been made under the
Policy, the amount of any funds received by the Trustee as a result of any claim
under the Policy, to the extent required to pay the Guaranteed Distributions
Shortfall on such Distribution Date, shall be withdrawn from the Policy Payments
173
Account and deposited in the Distribution Account and applied by the Trustee,
directly to the payment in full of the Guaranteed Distributions Shortfall due on
the Class I-A1 Certificates. Funds received by the Trustee as a result of any
claim under the Policy shall be deposited by the Trustee in the Policy Payments
Account and used solely for payment to the Holders of the Class I-A1
Certificates and may not be applied to satisfy any costs, expenses or
liabilities of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. Any funds
remaining in the Policy Payments Account on the first Business Day following a
Distribution Date shall be remitted by the Trustee to the Certificate Insurer,
pursuant to the instructions of the Certificate Insurer, by the end of such
Business Day.
(c) The Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of the amount of
interest and principal paid in respect of any Class I-A1 Certificate from moneys
received under the Policy. The Certificate Insurer shall have the right to
inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon two
Business Days' prior notice to the Trustee.
(d) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer and Fiscal Agent
(as defined in the Policy) of any proceeding or the institution of any action,
of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, seeking the
avoidance as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or similar law (a "Preference Claim") of any Guaranteed
Distribution (as defined in the Policy) made with respect to the Class I-A1
Certificates. Each Holder of any Class I-A1 Certificates, by its purchase of
such Certificates, the Master Servicer and the Trustee hereby agree that the
Certificate Insurer (so long as no Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and
is continuing) may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding
relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference
Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any
order relating to such Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety,
supersedeas or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition and without
limitation of the foregoing, the Certificate Insurer shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Master Servicer, the Trustee and each Holder of the Class I-A1
Certificates in the conduct of any such Preference Claim, including, without
limitation, all rights of any party to an adversary proceeding action with
respect to any court order issued in connection with any such Preference Claim.
Section 12.05 Effect of Payments by the Certificate Insurer; Subrogation.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with respect to
principal of or interest on any of the Class I-A1 Certificates which is made
with moneys received pursuant to the terms of the Policy shall not be considered
payment of such Certificates from the Trust Fund and shall not result in the
payment of or the provision for the payment of the principal of or interest on
such Certificates within the meaning of Section 4.01. The Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee acknowledge, and each Holder of a Class I-A1
Certificate by its acceptance of a such Certificate agrees, that without the
need for any further action on the part of the Certificate Insurer, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (i) to the extent the Certificate
Insurer makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or
interest on any Class I-A1 Certificates to the Holders of such Certificates, the
Certificate Insurer will be fully subrogated to the rights of such Holders to
receive such principal and interest from the Trust Fund and (ii) the Certificate
Insurer shall be paid such principal and interest but only from the sources and
in the manner provided herein for the payment of such principal and interest.
174
The Trustee, subject to Sections 8.05 and 12.09, and the Master Servicer shall
cooperate in all respects with any reasonable request by the Certificate Insurer
for action to preserve or enforce the Certificate Insurer's rights or interests
under this Agreement without limiting the rights or affecting the interests of
the Holders as otherwise set forth herein.
Section 12.06 Notices to the Certificate Insurer.
All notices, statements, reports, certificates or opinions required by this
Agreement to be sent to any other party hereto or to any of the
Certificateholders shall also be sent to the Certificate Insurer.
Section 12.07 Third Party Beneficiary.
The Certificate Insurer shall 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.
Section 12.08 Trustee to Hold the Policy.
The Depositor shall cause the Certificate Insurer to deliver the Policy to the
Trustee. The Trustee shall hold the Policy in trust as agent for the Holders of
the Class I-A1 Certificates for the purpose of making claims thereon and
distributing the proceeds thereof. Upon the later of (i) the date upon which the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class I-A1 Certificates has been reduced to
zero and all Guaranteed Distributions (as defined in the Policy) have been made
and (ii) the date the Term of This Policy (as defined in the Policy) ends, the
Trustee shall surrender the Policy to the Certificate Insurer for cancellation.
Each Holder of the Class I-A1 Certificates, by accepting its Certificates,
appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for the purpose of making claims on the
Policy.
Section 12.09 Termination of Certain of the Certificate Insurer's Rights.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary anywhere in this Agreement, all rights
of the Certificate Insurer, except in the case of any right to indemnification
hereunder, shall permanently cease to be operable upon the latest to occur of
(A) the date upon which the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class I-A1
Certificates has been reduced to zero and all Guaranteed Distributions (as
defined in the Policy) have been made, (B) the date the Term of This Policy (as
defined in the Policy) ends and (C) the payment in full to the Certificate
Insurer of all amounts paid under the Policy plus interest at the Late Payment
Rate thereon from the date such payment was made and any other amounts owing to
the Certificate Insurer under the Insurance Agreement; provided that the
Certificate Insurer shall not have any rights hereunder so long as any
Certificate Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, further,
however, that any rights of the Certificate Insurer relating to payment
(including reimbursements and payment of the Certificate Insurer Premium),
receipt of notices or reports, consent rights relating to amendments to this
Agreement that adversely affect in any respect the rights or interests of the
Certificate Insurer or the Class I-A1 Certificates (without giving effect to the
Policy) and consent rights in the last sentence of Section 9.01(a) shall
continue during any Certificate Insurer Default.

The purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the terms and conditions of

individually, but solely as Trustee (the "Trustee") under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as of September 1, 2004 among Long Beach Securities
Corp., as Depositor, Long Beach Mortgage Company, as Master Servicer, and the
Trustee on behalf of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2004-4 and WestLB AG, New
York Branch (each a "party" and, together, "the parties") on the Trade Date
specified below (the "Transaction"). This letter agreement constitutes a
"Confirmation" as referred to in the ISDA Form defined below.
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (as
published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA"))
(the "Definitions") are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any
inconsistency between those definitions and provisions and this Confirmation,
this Confirmation will govern.
1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between you
and us as to the terms and conditions of the Transaction to which this
Confirmation relates and will constitute a Confirmation subject to the terms and
conditions of the 1992 Master Agreement (Multicurrency - Cross Border) in the
form published by ISDA, as if the parties had executed an agreement in such
form, except as expressly modified herein (the "ISDA Form") but without any
Schedule except for the election of (i) the laws of the State of New York
(without reference to choice of law doctrine) as the governing law, (ii) USD as
the Termination Currency and (iii) the items specified in sections 3 through 20
below.
Each party will make each payment specified in this Confirmation as being
payable by it, not later than the due date for value on that date in the place
of the account specified below, in freely transferable funds and in the manner
customary for payments in the required currency. If on any date amounts would
otherwise be payable in the same currency by each party to the other, then, on
such date, each party's obligation to make payment of any such amount will be
automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would
otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would
otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon
the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to
the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller
aggregate amount.
This Confirmation will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York without reference to choice of law doctrine. Each
B-1-1
party irrevocably agrees that the courts of the State of New York located in the
Borough of Manhattan and the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit,
action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in
connection with this Confirmation and for such purposes hereby irrevocably
submits to the jurisdiction of such courts. Each party waives any objection
which it may have now or in the future to the laying of venue of any suit,
action or proceeding in the above courts and agrees not to claim that either
court is an inconvenient forum. Additionally to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each party waives its respective right to jury trial with
respect to any suit, action or proceeding arising under, or in connection with,
this Confirmation.
In this Confirmation "Party A" means WestLB AG, New York Branch and "Party B"

issued by the Note Insurer and/or the Backup Note Insurer which was in effect

The purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the terms and

Company, not individually, but solely as Trustee (the "Trustee") under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of September 1, 2004 among Long Beach
Securities Corp., as Depositor, Long Beach Mortgage Company, as Master Servicer,
and the Trustee on behalf of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2004-4 and WestLB
AG, New York Branch (each a "party" and, together, "the parties") on the Trade
Date specified below (the "Transaction"). This letter agreement constitutes a
"Confirmation" as referred to in the ISDA Form defined below.
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (as
published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA"))
(the "Definitions") are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any
inconsistency between those definitions and provisions and this Confirmation,
this Confirmation will govern.
1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between you
and us as to the terms and conditions of the Transaction to which this
Confirmation relates and will constitute a Confirmation subject to the terms and
conditions of the 1992 Master Agreement (Multicurrency - Cross Border) in the
form published by ISDA, as if the parties had executed an agreement in such
form, except as expressly modified herein (the "ISDA Form") but without any
Schedule except for the election of (i) the laws of the State of New York
(without reference to choice of law doctrine) as the governing law, (ii) USD as
the Termination Currency and (iii) the items specified in sections 3 through 20
below.
Each party will make each payment specified in this Confirmation as being
payable by it, not later than the due date for value on that date in the place
of the account specified below, in freely transferable funds and in the manner
customary for payments in the required currency. If on any date amounts would
otherwise be payable in the same currency by each party to the other, then, on
such date, each party's obligation to make payment of any such amount will be
automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would
otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would
otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon
the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to
the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller
aggregate amount.
This Confirmation will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York without reference to choice of law doctrine. Each
party irrevocably agrees that the courts of the State of New York located in the
Borough of Manhattan and the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit,
B-2-1
action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in
connection with this Confirmation and for such purposes hereby irrevocably
submits to the jurisdiction of such courts. Each party waives any objection
which it may have now or in the future to the laying of venue of any suit,
action or proceeding in the above courts and agrees not to claim that either
court is an inconvenient forum. Additionally to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each party waives its respective right to jury trial with
respect to any suit, action or proceeding arising under, or in connection with,
this Confirmation.
In this Confirmation "Party A" means WestLB AG, New York Branch and "Party B"
means Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, not individually, but solely as
Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of September 1, 2004,

Thresholds"), within 30 days after such rating withdrawal or downgrade (unless,
within 30 days after such withdrawal or downgrade, each such Swap Rating Agency
has reconfirmed the rating of the Certificates that were rated when issued
and/or the NIMS (if any), without regard to the Insurance Policies, if any,
issued by the Note Insurer and/or the Backup Note Insurer which was in effect
immediately prior to such withdrawal or downgrade), Party A shall: (i) seek
another entity to replace Party A as party to this Agreement that meets or
exceeds the Approved Rating Thresholds on terms substantially similar to this
Agreement, (ii) obtain a guaranty of, or a contingent agreement of another
person with the Approved Rating Thresholds, to honor Party A's obligations under

the Note Insurer and/or the Backup Note Insurer; or (iv) establish any other
arrangement satisfactory to the applicable Swap Rating Agency which will be

and the Trustee on behalf of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2004-4 and WestLB

Date specified below (the "Transaction"). This letter agreement constitutes a
"Confirmation" as referred to in the ISDA Form defined below.
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (as
published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA"))
(the "Definitions") are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any
inconsistency between those definitions and provisions and this Confirmation,
this Confirmation will govern.
1. This Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between you
and us as to the terms and conditions of the Transaction to which this
Confirmation relates and will constitute a Confirmation subject to the terms and
conditions of the 1992 Master Agreement (Multicurrency - Cross Border) in the
form published by ISDA, as if the parties had executed an agreement in such
form, except as expressly modified herein (the "ISDA Form") but without any
Schedule except for the election of (i) the laws of the State of New York
(without reference to choice of law doctrine) as the governing law, (ii) USD as
the Termination Currency and (iii) the items specified in sections 3 through 20

Each party will make each payment specified in this Confirmation as being
payable by it, not later than the due date for value on that date in the place
of the account specified below, in freely transferable funds and in the manner
customary for payments in the required currency. If on any date amounts would
otherwise be payable in the same currency by each party to the other, then, on
such date, each party's obligation to make payment of any such amount will be
automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would
otherwise have been payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would
otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon
the party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to
the other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller
aggregate amount.
This Confirmation will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York without reference to choice of law doctrine. Each
B-3-1
party irrevocably agrees that the courts of the State of New York located in the
Borough of Manhattan and the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit,
action or proceeding, and to settle any disputes, which may arise out of or in
connection with this Confirmation and for such purposes hereby irrevocably
submits to the jurisdiction of such courts. Each party waives any objection
which it may have now or in the future to the laying of venue of any suit,
action or proceeding in the above courts and agrees not to claim that either
court is an inconvenient forum. Additionally to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each party waives its respective right to jury trial with
respect to any suit, action or proceeding arising under, or in connection with,
this Confirmation.
In this Confirmation "Party A" means WestLB AG, New York Branch and "Party B"

has reconfirmed the rating of the Certificates that were rated when issued
and/or the NIMS (if any), without regard to the Insurance Policies, if any,
issued by the Note Insurer and/or the Backup Note Insurer which was in effect

EXHIBIT C
MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated September 2,
2004, between Long Beach Securities Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
"Purchaser") and Long Beach Mortgage Company, a Delaware corporation (the
"Seller").
Preliminary Statement
The Seller intends to sell certain mortgage loans to the Purchaser on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends
to deposit the mortgage loans into a mortgage pool constituting the trust fund.
The trust fund will issue fixed rate and adjustable rate asset backed
certificates designated as Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2004-4 Asset-Backed
Certificates, Series 2004-4 (the "Certificates"). The Certificates will consist
of twenty-three classes of certificates. The Certificates will be issued
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2004
(the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), among the Purchaser, as depositor,
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the "Trustee") and the Seller,
as master servicer (in such capacity, the "Master Servicer"). Capitalized terms
used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase.
The Seller agrees to sell, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, on or before
September 8, 2004 (the "Closing Date"), those certain fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans").
SECTION 2. Mortgage Loan Schedule.
The Purchaser and the Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage loans owned
by the Seller are to be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement on
the Closing Date and the Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared on or
prior to the Closing Date a final schedule (the "Closing Schedule") that shall
describe such Mortgage Loans and set forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be
purchased under this Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall conform to the
requirements set forth in this Agreement and to the definition of "Mortgage Loan
Schedule" under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall
be the Mortgage Loan Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 3. Consideration.
In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased hereunder, the Purchaser
shall on the Closing Date, as described in Section 8 hereof, (i) pay to or upon
the order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount (the "Purchase
Price") equal to the proceeds of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine
Certificates, net of the aggregate amount of the underwriting commissions and
discounts applicable to such certificates, and the purchase price of the Class B
1
Certificates; (ii) deliver to the Seller or, upon Seller's direction, to another
party, upon the order of the Seller, the Class C Certificates, the Class P
Certificates, the Class R Certificates, the Class R-CX Certificates and the
Class R-PX Certificates (the "Long Beach Certificates"); and (iii) pay to the
Seller in immediately available funds a securitization fee of $1,047,062.67 (the
"Securitization Fee").
The Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser shall be
entitled to (i) all scheduled payments of principal due after September 1, 2004
(the "Cut-off Date"), (ii) all unscheduled collections in respect of the
Mortgage Loans received after August 1, 2004 (other than the portion of such
collections due on or prior to the Cut-off Date), (iii) all other payments of
principal due and collected after the Cut-off Date, and (iv) all payments of
interest on the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date. All scheduled
payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date and
collected after the Cut-off Date shall belong to the Seller.
Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Purchaser will transfer,
assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, all the right, title and interest of the
Purchaser in and to the Mortgage Loans, together with its rights under this
Agreement (other than Section 17 hereof).
SECTION 4. Transfer of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) Possession of Mortgage Files. The Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign,
set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse, but subject to the terms
of this Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the
Mortgage Loans. The contents of each Mortgage File related to a Mortgage Loan
not delivered to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the
Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date are and shall be held in trust by the
Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee
of the Purchaser and promptly transferred to the Trustee. Upon the sale of the
Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each related Mortgage Note, the related
Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File shall be vested in
the Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to the
related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the possession of the Seller
on or after the Closing Date shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and shall
be delivered promptly to the Purchaser or as otherwise directed by the
Purchaser.
(b) Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents. The Seller will, on or prior to the
Closing Date deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, the Trustee or
their designee each of the following documents for each Mortgage Loan:
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the following form: "Pay
to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, under the
applicable agreement, without recourse," with all prior and intervening
endorsements, showing a complete chain of endorsement from the originator to the
Person so endorsing to the Trustee or (in the case of not more than 1.00% of the
Mortgage Loans, by aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date) a copy of
such original Mortgage Note with an accompanying Lost Note Affidavit executed by
the Seller;
2
(ii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon, and a copy,
certified by the appropriate recording office, of the recorded power of
attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney, with
evidence of recording thereon;
(iii) an original Assignment in blank;
(iv) the original recorded Assignment or Assignments showing a complete chain of
assignment from the originator to the Person assigning the Mortgage to the
Trustee or in blank;
(v) the original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance
or substitution agreement, if any; and
(vi) the original lender's title insurance policy, (or a copy of the above, in
the case of any Washington Mutual Mortgage Loans) together with all endorsements
or riders issued with or subsequent to the issuance of such policy, insuring the
priority of the Mortgage as a first lien or second lien on the Mortgaged
Property represented therein as a fee interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in
the event such title policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform
binder or preliminary report of the title issued by the title insurance or
escrow company.
The Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days,
subject to extension upon a mutual agreement between the Seller and the
Purchaser) following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by
the Seller of the recording information for a Mortgage submit or cause to be
submitted for recording, at no expense to the Purchaser, in the appropriate
public office for real property records, each Assignment referred to in (iii)
and (iv) above and shall execute each original Assignment referred to in clause
(iii) above in the following form: "Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as
Trustee under the applicable agreement, without recourse." In the event that any
such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the
Seller shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or
cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause
each such Assignment to be duly recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Assignments referred to in (iii) and (iv) above shall not be required to be
completed and submitted for recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan if each
Rating Agency does not require recordation for such Rating Agency to assign the
initial ratings to the Class A Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates, the
Class B Certificates and the Other NIM Notes and initial shadow rating to the
Insured NIM Notes, without giving effect to any insurance policy issued by the
NIMS Insurer; provided, however, each Assignment referred to in (iii) and (iv)
above shall be submitted for recording by the Seller, in the manner described
above, at no expense to the Purchaser, Trust Fund or the Trustee, upon the
earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Master
Servicer Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or
foreclosure relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer
3
as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (v) if
the Seller is not the Master Servicer and with respect to any one Assignment,
the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the
Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
If any document referred to in Section 4(b)(ii), Section 4(b)(iii), Section
4(b)(iv), or Section 4(b)(v) above (collectively, the "Recording Documents") has
as of the Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been
returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or
such public recording office has retained the original of such document, the
obligations of the Seller to deliver such Recording Documents shall be deemed to
be satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee
of a copy of each such Recording Document certified by the Seller in the case of
(x) above or the applicable public recording office in the case of (y) above to
be a true and complete copy of the original that was submitted for recording and
(2) if such copy is certified by the Seller, delivery to the Purchaser, the
Trustee or their designee upon receipt thereof, and in any event no later than
one year after the Closing Date (except as provided below), of either the
original or a copy of such Recording Document certified by the applicable public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original. In instances
where, due to a delay on the part of the applicable recording office where any
such Recording Documents have been delivered for recordation, the Recording
Documents cannot be delivered to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee
within one year after the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the
Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee within such time period an Officer's
Certificate stating the date by which the Seller expects to receive such
Recording Documents from the applicable recording office. If the Recording
Documents have still not been received by the Seller and delivered to the
Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee by such date, the Seller shall deliver
to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee by such date an additional
Officer's Certificate stating a revised date by which Seller expects to receive
the applicable Recording Documents. This procedure shall be repeated until the
Recording Documents have been received by the Seller and delivered to the
Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee. If the original or copy of the
lender's title insurance policy was not delivered pursuant to Section 4(b)(vi)
above, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, the
Trustee or their designee promptly after receipt thereof, and in any event
within 120 days after the Closing Date such title insurance policy. The Seller
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their
designee promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents constituting
a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including,
but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption or
modification of any Mortgage Loan.
Each original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is not delivered to the
Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee, if held by the Seller, shall be so
held for the benefit of the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designees. In the
event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this
Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered
promptly to the Purchaser, the Trustee or their designee. Any such original
document that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part
of a Mortgage File shall be held by the Seller in its capacity as Master
Servicer.
(c) Acceptance of Mortgage Loans. The documents delivered pursuant to Section
4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or
4
designee of the Purchaser at any time before, on and after the Closing Date (and
with respect to each document permitted to be delivered after the Closing Date
within seven days of its delivery) to ascertain that all required documents have
been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(d) Transfer of Interest in Agreements. The Purchaser has the right to assign
its interest under this Agreement (other than Section 17 hereof), in whole or in
part, to the Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Seller, and the Trustee
shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser. Any
expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser, the Trustee, the
Certificate Insurer, or the NIMS Insurer, if any, in connection with enforcing
any obligations of the Seller under this Agreement will be promptly reimbursed
by the Seller.
(e) Examination of Mortgage Files. Prior to the Closing Date the Seller shall
either (i) deliver in escrow to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or
designee of the Purchaser, for examination, the Mortgage File pertaining to each
Mortgage Loan, or (ii) make such Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or to
any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser for examination. Such
examination may be made by the Purchaser or the Trustee, and their respective
designees, upon reasonable notice to the Seller during normal business hours at
any time before or after the Closing Date. If any such person makes such
examination prior to the Closing Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans with
respect to which the Seller's representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement are not correct, such Mortgage Loans shall be deleted from the
Mortgage Loan Schedule. The Purchaser may, at its option and without notice to
the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without conducting any
partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or any person has
conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the
related Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser or any
assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or other
relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

7
SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the
Individual Mortgage Loans.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser, that as of the
Closing Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan:
(i) The information set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to each
Mortgage Loan is true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-off
Date, unless another date is set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(ii) [reserved];
(iii) Each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first or second lien on the
Mortgaged Property, including all improvements thereon, subject only to (a) the
lien of non-delinquent current real property taxes and assessments, (b)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage, such
exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions
generally or specifically reflected in the appraisal made in connection with the
origination of the related Mortgage Loan and which do not materially interfere
with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, (c)
other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not
materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
by such Mortgage and (d) in the case of a second lien, only to a first lien on
such Mortgaged Property;
(iv) Immediately prior to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser,
the Seller had good title to, and was the sole legal and beneficial owner of,
each Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security
interest and has full right and authority, subject to no interest or
participation of, or agreement with, any other party to sell and assign the
same. The form of endorsement of each Mortgage Note satisfied the requirement,
if any, of endorsement in order to transfer all right, title and interest of the
party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage
Note; and each Assignment to be delivered hereunder is in recordable form and is
sufficient to effect the assignment of and to transfer to the assignee
thereunder the benefits of the assignor, as mortgagee or assignee thereof, under
each Mortgage to which that Assignment relates;
(v) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there is no delinquent tax or
assessment lien against any Mortgaged Property;
(vi) There is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any Mortgage Note
(including any obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the unpaid principal of or
interest on such Mortgage Note) or the Mortgage, nor will the operation of any
of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or
8
in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto;
(vii) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there are no mechanics' liens or
claims for work, labor or material affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or
may be a lien prior to, or equal with, the lien of the related Mortgage, except
those which are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in
(xi) below;
(viii) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, each Mortgaged Property is free of
material damage and is at least in average repair;
(ix) Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material respects with
applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation,
predatory and abusive lending, usury, equal credit opportunity, real estate
settlement procedures, truth-in-lending and disclosure laws, and consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation the receipt
of interest does not involve the violation of any such laws;
(x) Neither the Seller nor any prior holder of any Mortgage has modified the
Mortgage in any material respect, satisfied, canceled or subordinated such
Mortgage in whole or in part; released the related Mortgaged Property in whole
or in part from the lien of such Mortgage; or executed any instrument of
release, cancellation, modification or satisfaction with respect thereto (except
that a Mortgage Loan may have been modified by a written instrument signed by
the Seller or a prior holder of the Mortgage Loan which has been recorded, if
necessary, to protect the interests of the Seller and the Purchaser and which
has been delivered to the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of
the Purchaser as part of the Mortgage File, and the terms of which are reflected
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule);
(xi) A lender's policy of title insurance together with a condominium
endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if applicable, and, with respect
to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement
in an amount at least equal to the balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the
Cut-off Date or a commitment (binder) to issue the same was effective on the
date of the origination of each Mortgage Loan, each such policy is valid and
remains in full force and effect, the transfer of the related Mortgage Loan to
the Purchaser and the Trustee does not affect the validity or enforceability of
such policy and each such policy was issued by a title insurer qualified to do
business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located and
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and in a form acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae
or Xxxxxxx Mac on the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan, which policy
insures the Seller and successor owners of indebtedness secured by the insured
Mortgage, as to the first or second, as the case may be, priority lien of the
Mortgage; to the best of the Seller's knowledge, no claims have been made under
such mortgage title insurance policy and no prior holder of the related
9
Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which
would impair the coverage of such mortgage title insurance policy;
(xii) Each Mortgage Loan was originated by, or generated on behalf of, the
Seller, or originated by a savings and loan association, savings bank,
commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar institution which is
supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee
approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Sections
203 and 211 of the National Housing Act;
(xiii) With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, on each Adjustment
Date, the Mortgage Rate will be adjusted to equal the Index plus the Gross
Margin, rounded to the nearest 0.125%, subject to the Periodic Rate Cap, the
Maximum Mortgage Rate and the Minimum Mortgage Rate. The related Mortgage Note
is payable on the first day of each month in self-amortizing monthly
installments of principal and interest (unless such Mortgage Loan is a mortgage
loan that requires the payment of interest only with respect to some or all of
the related monthly payments as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), with
interest payable in arrears, and requires a Monthly Payment which is sufficient
to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan over

subsequent modifications, if any;
(xiv) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all of the improvements which were
included for the purpose of determining the Value of the Mortgaged Property lie
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such property,
and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property;
(xv) All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued
with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with
respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to
certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate
authorities and to the best of the Seller's knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is
lawfully occupied under applicable law;
(xvi) All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage, whether as
mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which
they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all
applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged
Property is located;
(xvii) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and each is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Mortgagor enforceable against the
Mortgagor by the mortgagee or its representative in accordance with its terms,
except only as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
10
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and by law. To the best of the Seller's knowledge,
all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had full legal capacity to
execute all Mortgage Loan documents and to convey the estate purported to be
conveyed by the Mortgage and each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and
validly executed by such parties;
(xviii) The proceeds of each Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, there is
no requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all requirements as to

render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security,
including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by
trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no
homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere
with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right
to foreclose the Mortgage;
(xx) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a trustee, duly
qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated
and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses
are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of
trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the
Mortgagor;
(xxi) There exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits and payments,
if such are required, for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof
have not been made, and no escrow deposits or payments of other charges or
payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the related
Mortgage Note;
(xxii) The origination, underwriting and collection practices used by the Seller
with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all material respects legal,

Mortgage Loan is currently being serviced by Washington Mutual Bank, FA;
(xxiii) There is no pledged account or other security other than real estate
securing the Mortgagor's obligations;
(xxiv) No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other contingent
interest feature;
(xxv) [reserved];
11
(xxvi) The improvements upon each Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and
existing hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier that
provides for fire extended coverage and coverage of such other hazards as are
customarily covered by hazard insurance policies with extended coverage in the
area where the Mortgaged Property is located representing coverage not less than
the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or
the minimum amount required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement
cost basis. All individual insurance policies and flood policies referred to in
this clause (xxvi) and in clause (xxvii) below contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming the Seller or the original mortgagee, and its successors in
interest, as mortgagee, and the Seller has received no notice that any premiums
due and payable thereon have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance, including flood insurance, at the
Mortgagor's cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at
the Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor;
(xxvii) If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as subject to special flood
hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with
respect to such Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an
amount representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the original
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount
required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis or (C) the
maximum amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973;
(xxviii) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and neither the Seller
nor any other entity involved in originating or servicing the Mortgage Loan has
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;
(xxix) Each Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to four-family residential
dwelling, including condominium units and dwelling units in planned unit
developments, which, to the best of the Seller's knowledge, does not include
cooperatives and does not constitute property other than real property under
state law;
(xxx) There is no obligation on the part of the Seller or any other party under
the terms of the Mortgage or related Mortgage Note to make payments in addition
to those made by the Mortgagor;
(xxxi) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been consolidated
with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured
principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single
repayment term reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The consolidated
principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan;
12
(xxxii) Each Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Seller's
underwriting guidelines as described in the Prospectus Supplement as applicable
to its credit grade in all material respects;
(xxxiii) Each appraisal of a Mortgage Loan that was used to determine the
appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property was conducted generally in
accordance with the Seller's underwriting guidelines, and included an assessment
by the appraiser of the fair market value of the related Mortgaged Property at
the time of the appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the
applicable Mortgaged Property;
(xxxiv) None of the Mortgage Loans is a graduated payment Mortgage Loan, nor is
any Mortgage Loan subject to a temporary buydown or similar arrangement;
(xxxv) As of the Cut-off Date, there were no Mortgage Loans with respect to
which the monthly payment due thereon in July, 2004 had not been made, none of
the Mortgage Loans has been contractually delinquent for more than 30 days more
than once during the preceding twelve months and, no Mortgage Loan has ever
experienced a delinquency of 60 or more days since the origination thereof;

by federal or state law, enforceable for the acceleration of the payment of the
unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged
Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the
mortgagee thereunder;
(xxxvii) To the best of the Seller's knowledge no misrepresentation, negligence,
fraud or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on
the part of any person, including, without limitation, the Mortgagor, any
appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the
origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance in
relation to such Mortgage Loan;
(xxxviii) Each Mortgage Loan constitutes a "qualified mortgage" within the

true and correct in all material respects at the date or dates respecting which
such information is furnished and each Prepayment Charge is permissible and
enforceable in accordance with its terms under applicable law upon the

enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors' rights generally; or
(2) the collectability thereof may be limited due to acceleration in connection
with a foreclosure or other involuntary prepayment)). No Mortgage Loan
originated before October 1, 2002 has a Prepayment Charge for a term in excess

on or after October 1, 2002 has a prepayment charge for a term in excess of

Mortgages by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement are not subject to the bulk
transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction, except any as may have been complied with;
(xliv) There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage, and
either (1) any taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer
and municipal charges or ground rents which previously became due and owing have
been paid, or (2) an escrow of funds has been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been
assessed but is not yet due and payable. Except for payments in the nature of
escrow payments, including without limitation, taxes and insurance payments, the
Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any
advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly,

accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the
Mortgage proceeds, whichever is greater, to the day which precedes by one month

Colorado or Ohio;
14
(xlvii) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loans were used to finance single-premium
credit insurance policies. No borrower was required to purchase any credit life,

extension of credit. No borrower obtained a prepaid single-premium credit life,
disability, accident or health insurance policy in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan;
(xlviii) The Seller did not select the Mortgage Loans with the intent to
adversely affect the interests of the Purchaser;
(xlix) The Seller has not received any notice that any Mortgagor has filed for

that was originated on or after October 1, 2002 and before March 7, 2003, is
secured by a Mortgaged Property located in the State of Georgia;

360.100);

Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003 (N.J.S.A. 46; 10B-22 et
seq.);

(lviii) Each Group I Mortgage Loan was originated in compliance with the
following anti-predatory lending guidelines:
15
a. Each Group I Mortgage Loan satisfies the eligibility for purchase
requirements and was originated in compliance with Lender Letter # LL03-00 dated
April 11, 2000 for Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx (the "Lender Letter");
b. No borrower was encouraged or required by the Seller to select a Group I
Mortgage Loan product offered by the Group I Mortgage Loan's originator which is
a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the
time of the Group I Mortgage Loan's origination, such borrower did not qualify
taking into account credit history and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost
credit product then offered by the Group I Mortgage Loan's originator or any
affiliate of the Group I Mortgage Loan's originator;
c. The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Group I
Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical principles which relate the
borrower's income, assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such
underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the borrower's equity in
the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit
extension. Such underwriting methodology provided reasonable assurance that at
the time of origination (application/approval) the borrower had a reasonable
ability to make timely payments on the Group I Mortgage Loan;
d. With respect to any Group I Mortgage Loan that contains a provision
permitting imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to maturity, (i) the
Seller's pricing methods include mortgage loans with and without prepayment

prepayment premium, (ii) prior to the Group I Mortgage Loan's origination, the
borrower had the opportunity to choose between an array of mortgage loan
products which included mortgage loan products with prepayment premiums and
mortgage loan products that did not require payment of such a premium, (iii) the

result of the borrower's default in making the loan payments;
e. All points and fees related to each Group I Mortgage Loan were disclosed in
writing to the borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law.
Except in the case of a Group I Mortgage Loan in an original principal amount of
less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable origination, no
borrower was charged "points and fees" (whether or not financed) in an amount
greater than 5% of the principal amount of such loan, such 5% limitation
calculated in accordance with the Lender Letter;
f. All fees and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed,
assessed, collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and
servicing of each Group I Mortgage Loan have been disclosed in writing to the
borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation;
16
(lix) No Group I Mortgage Loan had a principal balance at origination in excess
of Xxxxxx Mae's conforming loan balance limitations for single family loans set
forth in the Xxxxxx Xxx Charter Act and the Xxxxxx Mae Selling Guide in effect
at the time of such Group I Mortgage Loan's origination;
(lx) With respect to each Group I Mortgage Loan, information regarding the
borrower credit file related to such Mortgage Loan has been furnished to credit
reporting agencies in compliance with the provisions of the Fair Credit
Reporting Act and the applicable implementing regulations; and

Date which is now Version 5.6 Revised, Exhibit E, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit A) and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002

SECTION 7. Repurchase Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of
Representation and Warranty.
(a) The representations and warranties contained in Section 5(ix) and Section 6
shall not be impaired by any review and examination of loan files or other
documents evidencing or relating to the Mortgage Loans or any failure on the
part of the Seller or the Purchaser to review or examine such documents and
shall inure to the benefit of any assignee, transferee or designee of the
Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of holders of asset-backed
certificates evidencing an interest in all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans.
With respect to the representations and warranties contained herein which are
made to the knowledge or the best of knowledge of the Seller, or as to which the
Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered that the substance of any such
representation and warranty was inaccurate as of the date such representation
and warranty was made or deemed to be made, and such inaccuracy materially and
adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein
of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's assignee, transferee or designee, then
notwithstanding the lack of knowledge by the Seller with respect to the
substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate at the time the
representation and warranty was made, the Seller shall take such action
described in the following paragraph in respect of such Mortgage Loan.
Upon discovery by the Seller, the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or
designee of the Purchaser of any materially defective document in, or that any
material document was not transferred by the Seller (as listed on the Trustee's
initial certification), as part of any Mortgage File or of a breach of any of
the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 or Section 6 that
materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or the interest
of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's assignee, transferee or designee (it being
understood that with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in
the last sentence of (xxxix), (xlvi), the first sentence of (xlvii) and (lxi) of
Section 6 herein, a breach of any such representation or warranty shall in and
of itself be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interest therein of
17
the Purchaser and the Purchaser's assignee, transferee or designee) in any
Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice
to the others. Within ninety (90) days of the earlier of the discovery or the
Seller's receipt of notice of any such missing documentation which was not
transferred to the Purchaser as described above or materially defective
documentation or any such breach of a representation and warranty, the Seller
promptly shall deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in
all material respects, or in the event the Seller cannot deliver such missing
document or such defect or breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, within 90
days of its discovery or receipt of notice, either (i) repurchase the affected
Mortgage Loan at a price equal to the Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund
and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans; provided,
however, that in the case of a breach of the representation and warranty
concerning the Mortgage Loan Schedule contained in Section 6(i), if such breach
relates to any field on the Mortgage Loan Schedule which identifies any
Prepayment Charge and such Prepayment Charge has been triggered pursuant to the
terms of the related Mortgage Note, then in lieu of purchasing such Mortgage
Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement), the Seller shall pay the amount of the incorrectly
identified Prepayment Charge (net of any amount previously collected by or paid
to the Trust Fund in respect of such Prepayment Charge), and the Seller shall
have no obligation to repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan. In the
event of a substitution permitted hereunder, the Seller shall amend the Closing
Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of each removed Mortgage Loan from the terms
of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the addition of
the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan(s). The Seller shall deliver to the
Purchaser such amended Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents
as are required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within
five (5) days of any such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section
7(a) shall be accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of
the Purchase Price (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) in
accordance with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any
repurchase or substitution required by this Section shall be made in a manner
consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any
remedy by the Seller for a breach of a representation or warranty that
materially and adversely affects the value of any Prepayment Charge shall be
made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03(c) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
(b) It is understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in
this Section 7 to cure, repurchase or substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan
constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser against the Seller respecting a
missing or defective document or a breach of the representations and warranties
contained in Section 5 or Section 6.
SECTION 8. Closing; Payment for the Mortgage Loans.
The closing of the purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall be held at the
Seattle office of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx White & XxXxxxxxx LLP at 9:30 am New York time

Agreement shall be subject to each of the following conditions:

SECTION 12. Mandatory Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically
understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the
Closing Date and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to
compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser in
the event of the Seller's failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the

The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security
interest in the Seller's interest in each Mortgage Loan, and each document and

cause to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage Loan rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently
therewith be automatically released from the security interest created hereby.

or its designee and delivery of payment to the Seller, that any security
interest held by the Seller in such Mortgage Loans shall be released.
All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from,
and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or
afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised
concurrently, independently or successively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
on the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall
have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid
the Purchase Price, or shall not have delivered or caused to be delivered the
Long Beach Certificates to the Seller or, upon the direction of the Seller, to
Long Beach Asset Holding Corp., or any such condition shall not have been waived
or satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the
Purchase Price or not to deliver or cause to be delivered the Long Beach
Certificates to Long Beach Asset Holding Corp, the Purchaser shall immediately
effect the re-delivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has
occurred and any security interest created by this Section 12 shall be deemed to
have been released.

prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any

provisions hereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto
waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any
provision hereof.
SECTION 15. Agreement of Parties.
The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments
(including UCC financing statements and continuation statements) and take such
actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably request in
order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement and
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 16. Survival.
The Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made by it
herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto
shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser and its successors and
assigns, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the
Purchaser or on its behalf, and that the representations, warranties and
agreements made by the Seller herein or in any such certificate or other
instrument shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and
shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or
qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes and notwithstanding subsequent
termination of this Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Trust
Fund.
SECTION 17. Indemnification, Representative.
(a) The Seller indemnifies and holds harmless the Purchaser, the Purchaser's
officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act") or Section 20 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the
"Exchange Act"), as follows:
22
(i) against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities, joint
or several, to which the Purchaser or such controlling person may become subject
under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof, including, but not limited to, any
loss, claim, expense, damage or liability related to purchases and sales of the
Class A Certificates or the Mezzanine Certificates arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in the Prospectus Supplement, in the case of purchases and sales of
the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, or the Private
Placement Memorandum relating to the Class B Certificates dated September 3,
2004 (the "Private Placement Memorandum"), in the case of purchases and sales of
the Class B Certificates, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out
of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
made therein not misleading; and will reimburse, as incurred, the Purchaser and
each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by the Purchaser or such controlling person in connection with investigating,
defending against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that the Seller will be liable in any such case only to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or omission,
made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Purchaser by the Seller specifically for use in the preparation
thereof (the "Seller's Information");
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever,
to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or
omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement
is effected with the written consent of the Seller; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever (including the fees and
disbursements of counsel chosen by the Purchaser, subject to Section 17(c)
below), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any
litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body,
commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue
statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the
extent that any such expense is not paid under clause (i) or clause (ii) above.
This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Seller
may otherwise have.
(b) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each of its
directors, each of its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Seller
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act, against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to
which the Seller or any such director, officer or controlling person may become
subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
23
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in the Prospectus Supplement, in the case of purchases and sales of
the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates, or the Private
Placement Memorandum, in the case of purchases and sales of the Class B
Certificates, other than in the Seller's Information, or arise out of, or are
based upon, the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made
therein not misleading, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by the Seller or any such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which the Purchaser may otherwise have.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 17 of
notice of the commencement of any action described therein, such indemnified
party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under this Section 17, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve
the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified
party under this Section 17 unless the indemnifying party is materially
prejudiced by such omission to notify and in any event the failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
the indemnified party otherwise than under this Agreement. In case any such
action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish to do so,
jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the
defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall
not, except with the consent of the indemnified party (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), be counsel to the indemnifying
party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
under this Section 17, such indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and
preparation for a defense.
Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any
such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless: (i)
the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the indemnifying
party in writing (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by such
counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party and in
the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for such indemnified
party to employ separate counsel; (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists
(based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not
have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified
party) or (iv) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such
action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in
which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing
that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying
party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of
such action on behalf of such indemnified party, it being understood, however,
the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or
separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in
addition to local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which
firm shall be designated in writing (i) by the Seller if the indemnified parties
under this Section 17 consist of the Seller or any of its officers, directors or
24
controlling persons, or (ii) the Purchaser, if the indemnified party under this
Section 17 consist of the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser's directors,
officers or controlling persons.
Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in
Section 17(a) and Section 17(b), shall use its reasonable efforts to cooperate
with the indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such action
effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with its written consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and
against any loss or liability (to the extent set forth in Section 17(a) or
Section 17(b) as applicable) by reason of such settlement or judgment. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of
which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could
have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i)
includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability
on any claims that are the subject of such action and (ii) does not include a
statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or
on behalf of an indemnified party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if at any time an indemnified party
shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party
for fees and expenses of counsel, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be
liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent
if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such
indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party
shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request
prior to the date of such settlement.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in Section 17(a) or 17(b) is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or
(b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Purchaser on the
one hand and the Seller on the other from the offering of the Class A
Certificates, the Mezzanine Certificates and the Class B Certificates or (ii) if
the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Purchaser on
the one hand and the Seller on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. If the indemnification provided
for in Section 17(b) is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the
indemnified party under Section 17(b), then each indemnifying party shall
25
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in Section 17(b) in
such proportion as appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Purchaser on
one hand and the Seller on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received
by the Purchaser on the one hand and the Seller on the other shall be deemed to
be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before
deducting expenses) received by the Purchaser bear to the total underwriting
discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters (as defined in the
Prospectus Supplement) and the Initial Purchaser (as defined in the Private
Placement Memorandum). The relative fault shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Purchaser or by the Seller and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to above in the
first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this
subsection (d). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
SECTION 18. Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE
PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW
PRINCIPLES. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF
THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 19. Miscellaneous.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when
so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor
any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but
only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of
the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in this
Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning hereof.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the
Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof
be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the
Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the
event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the
express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the
Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a
26
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security
interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans, and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in
accordance with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary
or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether
in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
possession by the Purchaser or its agent of the Mortgage Notes, the related
Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the
secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to
Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; 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 Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting
such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of
the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be an
assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 20. Third Party Beneficiary.
Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer, if any, shall
be a third-party beneficiary hereof (except with respect to Section 17) and
shall be entitled to enforce the provisions hereof as if a party hereto, except
the provisions of Section 17 hereof. The Underwriters (as defined in the
Prospectus Supplement), shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof solely with
respect to Section 17 and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of Section
17 as if it were a party hereto.
27
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser and the Seller have caused their names to be
signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date
first above written.

APPENDIX E TO GLOSSARY FOR FILE FORMAT FOR LEVELS(R) VERSION 5.6: Standard &
Poor's Predatory Lending Categorization
Standard & Poor's has categorized loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws
in the jurisdictions listed below into three categories based upon a combination
of factors that include (a) the risk exposure associated with the assignee
liability and (b) the tests and thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that
certain loans classified by the relevant statute as Covered are included in
Standard & Poor's High Cost Loan category because they included thresholds and
tests that are typical of what is generally considered High Cost by the
industry.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This certificate is being delivered in connection with the sale by
[___________________] (the "Transferor") to [_______________] (the "Transferee")

Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated
as of September 1, 2004 (the "Agreement") among Long Beach Securities Corp., as
depositor (the "Depositor"), Long Beach Mortgage Company, as master servicer
(the "Master Servicer") and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee
(the "Trustee"). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Agreement. The Transferor
hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Trustee, and for the
benefit of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust Fund and the Transferee, that:
1. The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Transferred Certificates with
the full right to transfer such Class B Certificates free from any and all
claims and encumbrances whatsoever.
2. Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered,
transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of any Transferred Certificate,
any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security to any

the disposition of any Transferred Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the
Securities Act or any state securities laws, or would require registration or
qualification of any Transferred Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act or
any state securities laws.
J-1A-1
3. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this
matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a "qualified institutional
buyer" as that term is defined in Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") under the Securities
Act (a "Qualified Institutional Buyer") purchasing for its own account or for
the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer. In determining whether the
Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, the Transferor and any person
acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter have relied upon the following
method(s) of establishing the Transferee's ownership and discretionary
investments of securities (check one or more):
___ (a) The Transferee's most recent publicly available financial
statements, which statements present the information as of a date within 16

purchaser; or
___ (b) The most recent publicly available information appearing in
documents filed by the Transferee with the Securities and Exchange Commission or
another United States federal, state, or local governmental agency or
self-regulatory organization, or with a foreign governmental agency or
self-regulatory organization, which information is as of a date within 16 months
preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificate in the case of a U.S.
purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign
purchaser; or
___ (c) The most recent publicly available information appearing in a
recognized securities manual, which information is as of a date within 16 months
preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificate in the case of a U.S.
purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign
purchaser; or
___ (d) A certification by the chief financial officer, a person fulfilling
an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the Transferee, specifying
the amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by the
Transferee as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee's most
recent fiscal year, or, in the case of a Transferee that is a member of a
"family of investment companies", as that term is defined in Rule 144A, a
certification by an executive officer of the investment adviser specifying the
amount of securities owned by the "family of investment companies" as of a
specific date on or since the close of the Transferee's most recent fiscal year.
4. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor
understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and
invested on a discretionary basis by an entity for purposes of establishing
whether such entity is a Qualified Institutional Buyer:
J-1A-2
(a) the following instruments and interests shall be excluded: securities
of issuers that are affiliated with the Transferee; if the Transferee is a
dealer securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by the
Transferee as a participant in a public offering; securities of issuers that are
part of the Transferee's "family of investment companies", if the Transferee is
a registered investment company; bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit;
loan participations; repurchase agreements; securities owned but subject to a
repurchase agreement; and currency, interest rate and commodity swaps;
(b) the aggregate value of the securities shall be the cost of such
securities, except where the entity reports its securities holdings in its
financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current
information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in
which case the securities may be valued at market;
(c) securities owned by subsidiaries of the entity that are consolidated
with the entity in its financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles may be included if the investments of
such subsidiaries are managed under the direction of the entity, except that,
unless the entity is a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, securities owned by such
subsidiaries may not be included if the entity itself is a majority-owned
subsidiary that would be included in the consolidated financial statements of
another enterprise.
5. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken reasonable
steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is relying on
the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by
Rule 144A.
6. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or caused
to be furnished, to the Transferee all information requested by the Transferee
regarding (a) the Transferred Certificates and payments thereon, (b) the nature
and performance of the Mortgage Loans, (c) the Agreement, and (d) any credit
enhancement mechanism associated with the Transferred Certificates.

COUNTY OF __________ )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of ________________________, the proposed
Transferee of an Ownership Interest in the Class [___] Certificate (the
"Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as
of September 1, 2004 (the "Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced
Certificates, among Long Beach Securities Corp., as depositor (the "Depositor"),
Long Beach Mortgage Company, as master servicer (the "Master Servicer") and
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized
terms used, but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make
this affidavit on behalf of the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof and will be, as of the date of
the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Certificate either (i) for its own account or (ii) as nominee,
trustee or agent for another Person and has attached hereto an affidavit from
such Person in substantially the same form as this affidavit. The Transferee has
no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised and understands that (i) a tax will be
imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted
Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman) of
a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the Person
otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the
subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such subsequent
Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer, such Person
does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false.
4. The Transferee has been advised and understands that a tax will be
imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time during
the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee
understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to
which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that
such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does
not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a
"pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real estate
investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and
certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)

5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the
Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
