10. NIMS
Insurer.
In
addition to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, any and all
rights of the Master Servicer and Trustee to receive notices from the Servicer
pursuant to this Agreement shall hereby be equally granted to the NIMS Insurer.
The Master Servicer or the Trustee shall notify the Servicer in writing of
the

appropriate contact employee of the NIMS Insurer. For any and all obligations
of
the Servicer to obtain consent from the Master Servicer and the Trustee pursuant

Insurer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Trust Fund
shall hold harmless and indemnify the Servicer for any failure of the NIMS

provision herein to the contrary, the parties to this Agreement agree that
it is
appropriate, in furtherance of the intent of such parties as set forth herein,
that the NIMS Insurer receive the benefit of the provisions of this Agreement
as
an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement to the extent of such
provisions. The Servicer shall have the same obligations to the NIMS Insurer
as
if it was a party to this Agreement, and the NIMS Insurer shall have the same
rights and remedies to enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if it was
a
party to this Agreement. The parties hereto agree to cooperate in good faith
to
amend this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof to include such other
provisions as may be reasonably requested by the NIMS Insurer. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, all rights of the NIMS Insurer set forth in this Agreement shall

remain outstanding or the NIMS Insurer is owed amounts in respect of its
guarantee of payment on such NIM Securities.
4
NIM
Security shall mean any net interest margin security issued by an owner trust
or
special purpose entity that is holding all rights, title and interest in and

NIMS
Transaction shall mean any transaction in which NIM Securities are secured,
in
part, by the payments on the Class X or Class P Certificates issued by the
Trust
Fund.
11. Distressed
Mortgage Loans.
The
NIMS Insurer may, at its option, purchase a Distressed Mortgage Loan;
provided,
however,
prior
to any such purchase, the Servicer shall be required to continue to make Monthly
Advances with respect to such Distressed Mortgage Loans, to the extent required
by the applicable servicing provisions in the SWSA. Any such purchase shall
be
accomplished by: (A) remittance to the Master Servicer of the Purchase Price
(as
defined in the Trust Agreement) for the Distressed Mortgage Loan for deposit
into the Collection Account established by the Master Servicer pursuant to
the
Trust Agreement, and (B) the NIMS Insurer’s (i) acknowledgment and agreement to
retain Servicer, as the servicer for any such purchased Distressed Mortgage
Loan, to service such Distressed Mortgage Loan pursuant to the provisions of
the
SWSA, and (ii) assumption, for the benefit of the Servicer, the rights and
obligations of the Trust Fund as owner of such purchased Distressed Mortgage
Loans pursuant to the SWSA. The Trustee and the Servicer shall immediately
effectuate the conveyance of the purchased Distressed Mortgage Loans to the
NIMS
Insurer exercising the purchase option, including prompt delivery of the
Servicing File and all related documentation to the applicable NIMS Insurer.
A
Distressed Mortgage Loan is as of any Determination Date a Mortgage Loan that
is
delinquent in payment for a period of ninety (90) days or more, without giving
effect to any grace period permitted by the related Mortgage Loan, or for which
the Servicer or Trustee has accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

Obligations”);
(ii) federal
funds, or demand and time deposits in, certificates of deposits of, or bankers’
acceptances issued by, any depository institution or trust company (including
U.S. subsidiaries of foreign depositories and the Trustee or any agent of the
Trustee, acting in its respective commercial capacity) incorporated or organized
under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof and subject
to supervision and examination by federal or state banking authorities, so
long
as at the time of investment or the contractual commitment providing for such
investment the commercial paper or other short-term debt obligations of such
depository institution or trust company (or, in the case of a depository
institution or trust company which is the principal subsidiary of a holding
company, the commercial paper or other short-term debt or deposit obligations
of
such holding company or deposit institution, as the case may be) have been
rated
by each Rating Agency in its highest short-term rating category or one of its

of
the two highest long-term credit rating categories of each Rating Agency;
provided, however, that securities issued by any particular corporation will
not
be Eligible Investments to the extent that investment therein will cause the
then outstanding principal amount of securities issued by such corporation
and
held as part of the Trust Fund to exceed 20% of the sum of the aggregate
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans; provided, further, that such securities
will not be Eligible Investments if they are published as being under review
with negative implications from any Rating Agency;
A-1
(v) commercial

(vi) a
Qualified GIC;
(vii) certificates
or receipts representing direct ownership interests in future interest or
principal payments on obligations of the United States of America or its
agencies or instrumentalities (which obligations are backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States of America) held by a custodian in safekeeping
on behalf of the holders of such receipts; and
(viii) any
other
demand, money market, common trust fund or time deposit or obligation, or
interest-bearing or other security or investment, (A) rated in the highest
rating category by each Rating Agency or (B) that would not adversely affect
the

and
has a
short term rating of at least “A-1” or its equivalent by each Rating
Agency.
Such
investments in this subsection (viii) may include money market mutual funds
or
common trust funds, including any fund for which the Trustee, the Master
Servicer or an affiliate thereof serves as an investment advisor, administrator,
shareholder servicing agent, and/or custodian or subcustodian, notwithstanding
that (x) the Trustee, the Master Servicer or an affiliate thereof charges and
collects fees and expenses from such funds for services rendered, (y) the
Trustee, the Master Servicer or an affiliate thereof charges and collects fees
and expenses for services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, and (z) services
performed for such funds and pursuant to this Agreement may converge at any
time; provided, however, that no such instrument shall be an Eligible Investment
if such instrument evidences either (i) a right to receive only interest
payments with respect to the obligations underlying such instrument, or
(ii) both principal and interest payments derived from obligations
underlying such instrument and the principal and interest payments with respect
to such instrument provide a yield to maturity of greater than 120% of the
yield
to maturity at par of such underlying obligations.

that the Servicer may exercise all of the rights under such contract or surety
bond without the necessity of taking any action by any other

(c) provide
that if at any time the then current credit standing of the obligor under such

such contract of funds would result in a downgrading of any rating of the

entitled to the return of all funds previously invested thereunder, together
with accrued interest thereon at the interest rate provided under such contract
to the date of delivery of such funds to the Trustee;

understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3.01 (a) through (h) and (k) are hereby restated as of the Closing
Date
and shall survive the engagement of the Company to perform the servicing
responsibilities hereunder and the delivery of the Servicing Files to the
Company and shall inure to the benefit of the Trust Fund (or the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust Fund) and the Master Servicer. Upon discovery by either
the
Company, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing
representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects the
ability of the Company to perform its duties and obligations under this
Agreement or otherwise materially and adversely affects the value of the
Mortgage Loans, the Mortgaged Property or the priority of the security interest
on such Mortgaged Property or the interest of the Trust Fund, the party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
other.
Within
60
days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Company of any
breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.01 which
materially and adversely affects the ability of the Company to perform its
duties and obligations under this Agreement or otherwise materially and
adversely affects the value of the Loans, the Mortgaged Property or the priority
of the security interest on such Mortgaged Property, the Company shall use
its
best efforts promptly to cure such breach in all material respects and, if
such
breach cannot be cured, the Company shall, at the Master Servicer’s option,
assign the Company’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (or respecting
the affected Mortgage Loans) to a successor servicer selected by the Master
Servicer with the prior consent and approval of the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust Fund. Such assignment shall be made in accordance with Section
12.01.
In
addition, the Company shall indemnify (from its own funds) the Trust Fund (or
the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund) and Master Servicer and hold each
of
them harmless against any costs resulting from any claim, demand, defense or
assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the
Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. It is
understood and agreed that the remedies set forth in this Section 3.01
constitute the sole remedies of the Master Servicer, the Trust Fund (or the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund) respecting a breach of the foregoing
representations and warranties.
Any
cause
of action against the Company relating to or arising out of the breach of any
representations and warranties made in Section 3.01 shall accrue upon (i)
discovery of such breach by the Company or notice thereof by the Trustee or
Master Servicer to the Company, (ii) failure by the Company to cure such breach
within the applicable cure period, and (iii) demand upon the Company by the
Trustee or the Master Servicer for compliance with this Agreement.
A-4
15. |
Section
4.01 (Company to Act as Servicer) is hereby amended as
follows:
|
(i) by
deleting the first sentence of the second paragraph of such section and
replacing it with the following:
Consistent
with the terms of this Agreement, the Company may waive, modify or vary any
term
of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of any such term or in
any
manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the Company’s reasonable and
prudent determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
is
not materially adverse to the Trust Fund, provided, however, that unless the
Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default is,
in
the judgment of the Company, imminent, the Company shall not permit any
modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage
Interest Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest, reduce or increase
the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal)
or
change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company shall continue, and is hereby
authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of itself and the
Trust Fund, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or

amended
by:
|
(i)
replacing the reference to “one year” in the seventh line of the third paragraph
thereof with “three years”;
(ii)
adding two new paragraphs after the fourth paragraph thereof to read as
follows:
In
the
event that the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property in connection with a default
or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Company shall dispose of such REO
Property not later than the end of the third taxable year after the year of
its
acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Company has applied for and received
a
grant of extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under
the REMIC Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable
state law, the applicable Trust REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period
without adversely affecting the REMIC status of such REMIC or causing the
imposition of a federal or state tax upon such REMIC. If the Company has
received such an extension, then the Company shall continue to attempt to sell
the REO Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three
years as such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Company has not
received such an extension and the Company is unable to sell the REO Property
within the period ending 3 months before the end of such third taxable year
after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Company has received such
an
extension, and the Company is unable to sell the REO Property within the period
ending three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Company shall,
before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as applicable,
(i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO Property’s fair
market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which
may
be the Company) in an auction reasonably designed to produce a fair price prior
to the expiration of the three-year period or the Extended Period, as the case
may be. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund shall sign any document or
take
any other action reasonably requested by the Company which would enable the
Company, on behalf of the Trust Fund, to request such grant of
extension.
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust
Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used
or
held by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner, pursuant to any terms
or for a period that would: (i) cause such REO Property to fail to qualify
as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
(ii) result in the imposition of any tax upon any REMIC included in the Trust
Fund.
(iii)
replacing the word “advances” in the sixth line of the fifth paragraph thereof
with “Monthly Advances”; and
(iv)
by
adding the following to the end of such Section:
Prior
to
acceptance by the Company of an offer to sell any REO Property, the Company
shall notify the Master Servicer of such offer in writing which notification
shall set forth all material terms of said offer (each a “Notice of Sale”). The
Master Servicer shall be deemed to have approved the sale of any REO Property
unless the Master Servicer notifies the Company in writing, within five (5)
days
after its receipt of the related Notice of Sale, that it disapproves of the
related sale, in which case the Company shall not proceed with such
sale.

all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and
necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, fees
and
expenses that any of such parties may sustain in any way related to the failure
of the Company to perform its duties and service the Mortgage Loans in strict

by
a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans, assume

the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not
be
unreasonably withheld) the defense of any such claim and pay all expenses in
connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and
satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or any of such
parties in respect of such claim. The Company shall follow any written
instructions received from the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund in connection
with such claim. The Trustee from the assets of the Trust Fund promptly shall
reimburse the Company for all amounts advanced by it pursuant to the preceding
sentence except when the claim is in any way related to the Company’s
indemnification pursuant to Section 6.02, or the failure of the Company to
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in strict compliance with the terms
of
this Agreement.

Company shall be under any liability to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, 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
Company or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed
for its disregard for, or failure to perform its obligations and duties under
this Agreement, or by reason of any breach of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. The Company and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company shall be entitled to indemnification by the Trust Fund and will be
held
harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with
any
legal action relating to this Agreement, the Trust Agreement, or the
Certificates other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
its

that is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance

or
liability; provided, however, that the Company may in its sole discretion
undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect
to
this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests
of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and

unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances; provided, however, in

event of a termination for cause under Sections 10.01 hereof, such unreimbursed
amounts shall not be reimbursed to the Company until such amounts are received

29. |
Section
11.02 (Termination Without Cause) is hereby amended by replacing
all

30. |
Section
12.01 (Successor to Company) is hereby amended in its entirety to
read as
follows:
|
Simultaneously
with the termination of the Company’s responsibilities and duties under this
Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.04, 10.01, 11.01(ii) or 11.02, the Master
Servicer shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement (i)
succeed to and assume all of the Company’s responsibilities, rights, duties and
obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) appoint a successor meeting the
eligibility requirements of this Agreement, and which shall succeed to all
rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the
Company under this Agreement with the termination of the Company’s
responsibilities, duties and liabilities under this Agreement. Any successor
to
the Company that is not at that time a servicer of other mortgage loans for
the
Trust Fund shall be subject to the approval of the Master Servicer, the
Purchaser, the Trustee and each Rating Agency (as such term is defined in the
Trust Agreement). Unless the successor servicer is at that time a servicer
of
other mortgage loans for the Trust Fund, each Rating Agency must deliver to
the
Trustee a letter to the effect that such transfer of servicing will not result
in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current rating of any
of
the Certificates. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Master
Servicer or the Trust Fund, as applicable, may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it
and
such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall
be in excess of that permitted the Company under this Agreement. In the event
that the Company’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement
should be terminated pursuant to the aforementioned sections, the Company shall
discharge such duties and responsibilities during the period from the date
it
acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with
the
same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under
this Agreement, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or
prejudice the rights or financial condition of its successor. The resignation
or
removal of the Company pursuant to the aforementioned sections shall not become
effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 12.01
and shall in no event relieve the Company of the representations and warranties
made pursuant to Sections 3.01 and the remedies available to the Trust Fund
under Section 3.03 shall be applicable to the Company notwithstanding any such
resignation or termination of the Company, or the termination of this
Agreement.
A-9
Within
a
reasonable period of time, but in no event longer than 30 days of the
appointment of a successor entity, the Company shall prepare, execute and
deliver to the successor entity any and all documents and other instruments,
place in such successor’s possession all Servicing Files, and do or cause to be
done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes
of
such notice of termination. The Company shall cooperate with the Trustee and
the
Master Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trust Fund and such successor
in effecting the termination of the Company’s responsibilities and rights
hereunder and the transfer of servicing responsibilities to the successor
servicer, including without limitation, the transfer to such successor for
administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited
by
the Company to the Account or any Escrow Account or thereafter received with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Any
successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to
the Company and the Master Servicer, and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust
Fund, an instrument accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall
make
an assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each
covenant and condition to be performed and observed by the Company under this
Agreement, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the
Company, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement.
Any termination or resignation of the Company or termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Sections 9.04, 10.01, 11.01 or 11.02 shall not affect any claims
that (i) the Trust Fund (or the Master Servicer or the Trustee on behalf of
the
Trust Fund) may have against the Company arising out of the Company’s actions or
failure to act, or (ii) the Company may have against the Trust Fund (or the
Master Servicer or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund), prior to any such
termination or resignation.
The
Company shall deliver, within three (3) Business Days of the appointment of
a
successor Servicer, the funds in the Custodial Account and Escrow Account and
all Collateral Files, Credit Files and related documents and statements held
by
it hereunder to the successor Servicer and the Company shall account for all
funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things
as
may reasonably be required to more fully and definitively vest in the successor
all such rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities
of the Company.
Upon
a
successor’s acceptance of appointment as such, the Company shall notify the
Trust Fund (or the Trustee or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust Fund)
of such appointment in accordance with the notice procedures set forth
herein.
Except
as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
in connection with any transfer of servicing hereunder (as a result of a
termination of the Company for cause pursuant to Section 10.01), including,
without limitation, the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer or any other
Person in appointing a successor servicer, or of the Master Servicer in assuming
the responsibilities of the Company hereunder, or of transferring the Servicing
Files and the other necessary data to the successor servicer shall be paid
by
the terminated Servicer from its own funds without reimbursement. The Trust
Fund
shall be liable for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any
transfer of servicing hereunder, other than costs and expenses incurred in
connection with a transfer of servicing for cause as stated above.

the
Master Servicer and the Trustee hereunder (other than the right to

of
