and is continuing.
(e) The rights of the NIMS Insurer or the Certificates Controlling
Person referenced in Sections 3.02(a), 3.03, 6.04, 7.01, 7.02(a), 7.04, 8.07 and
8.10 of this Agreement shall be applied as follows:
(i) If any Insured NIM Notes are outstanding, the NIMS Insurer
shall have the right to act, after consultation with the Certificates
Controlling Person; and
(ii) If no Insured NIM Notes have been issued or are outstanding,
the Certificates Controlling Person shall have the sole right to act provided
that for so long as the Certificate Insurer is the Certificates Controlling

The NIMS Insurer and the Certificates Controlling Person shall promptly

pursuant to Section 8.07 or 8.10 of this Agreement, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld by the Guarantor or (ii) consult with the Guarantor, if
such action is taken pursuant to Section 3.02(a), 3.03, 6.04, 7.01, 7.02(a) or

circumstances could or would have a material adverse effect on the Trust or the
Certificateholders (or any similar or analogous determination), such
determination shall be made without giving effect to the insurance provided by
the Certificate Insurance Policy.

ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof,
does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee
without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer all the right, title and interest of the Depositor, including any
security interest therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in and to the
Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the rights of the
Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (other than the Depositor's
rights under Section 17 thereof) and all other assets included or to be included
in REMIC 1. Such assignment includes all scheduled payments on the Mortgage
Loans due after the Cut-off Date and all unscheduled collections in respect of
the Mortgage Loans received after July 1, 2002 (other than the portion of such
collections due on or prior to the Cut-off Date). The Depositor herewith
delivers to the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee an executed copy of
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and the PMI Policy. The Depositor shall
cause the Certificate Insurer to deliver the Certificate Insurance Policy to the
Trust Administrator for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
If the assignment and transfer of the Mortgage Loans and the other
property specified in Section 2.01 from the Depositor to the Trustee pursuant to
this Agreement is held or deemed not to be a sale or is held or deemed to be a
pledge of security for a loan, the Depositor intends that the rights and
obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement and that, in such event, (i) the Depositor shall be deemed to have
granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee as of the Closing Date a perfected,
first priority security interest in the entire right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the Mortgage Loans and all other property conveyed to the
Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 2.01 and all proceeds thereof and (ii) this
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does
hereby deliver to, and deposit with, (i) the Trust Administrator as custodian
for the Trustee (in which capacity it will, unless otherwise specified, be
acting under this Article II) the following documents or instruments with
respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Washington Mutual Loan) and (ii) the
Washington Mutual Custodian as custodian for the Trustee, the following
documents or instruments with respect to each Washington Mutual Mortgage Loan,
in each case, so transferred and assigned (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, a
"Mortgage File"):
(a) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed in blank or in the following
form: "Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trust
Administrator for the benefit of Wachovia Bank, National Association, 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;
78
(b) 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;
(c) an original Assignment in blank;
(d) 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;
(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 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 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, the Trust
Administrator, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor 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 Trust Administrator for the benefit of
Wachovia Bank, National Association, 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 II-A Certificates, the Class II-S1 Certificates (without
regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy) and the NIM Notes and the
Certificate Insurer does not require recordation in order for the Certificate
Insurer to issue the Certificate Insurance Policy; provided further, 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, the Trustee, or the Trust Administrator, 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. The Master Servicer shall
pay the cost of such recording. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master
Servicer fails to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense shall
79
be paid by the Trust Administrator and shall be reimbursable to the Trust
Administrator as an Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense.
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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator or the
applicable Custodian within one year after the Closing Date, the Master
Servicer, in its capacity as the Seller, shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator 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 Trust Administrator or the applicable Custodian by the date specified in its
previous Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trust Administrator or the
applicable Custodian, as the case may be, the Master Servicer, in its capacity
as the Seller, shall deliver to the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator 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
80
Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to the
Master Servicer.
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 Trust
Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, on behalf of the Trustee 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 (vii)
(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.
Except with respect to the Washington Mutual Mortgage Loans, the Trust
Administrator or 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 Guarantor, 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator'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 Trust Administrator 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 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 Trust
Administrator shall deliver (or, with respect to the Mortgage Loans held by
another Custodian, such Custodian shall deliver) to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the
Guarantor 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.
81
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or
preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the Trust
Administrator 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 Trust Administrator shall so notify or such other Custodian shall notify the
Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator (if it is not
sending such notice), the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer
and the Master Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Custodian or the Trust
Administrator 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 or the Certificate Insurer (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), the Trust Administrator
shall promptly notify the Depositor, the Seller, the NIMS Insurer, the
Guarantor, the Certificate 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, 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 or the Trust Administrator) shall enforce the obligations
of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement 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
Trust Administrator, 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 Trust Administrator, or Custodian, as
applicable, on behalf of the Trustee, 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 none of the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator or 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
82
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, the Trust Administrator on behalf of
the Trustee, the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer, and the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the Guarantor.
(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 (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),
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.
(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 Trust Administrator (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
83
Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof and specifying the
Substitution Shortfall Amounts (as described below), if any, in connection with
such substitution. The Trust Administrator 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 Trustee, the
NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the Guarantor, 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 Trust Administrator
shall deliver or with respect to the Mortgage Loans held by another Custodian,
such other Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee,
the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor 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 Trust Administrator or the applicable
Custodian shall give written notice to the Guarantor, the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate 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 to reflect the removal of such Deleted
Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such
amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer, the
Certificate Insurer, the Trust Administrator 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 Shortfall Amounts"), 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 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 Shortfall Amounts, if any, and the Trust Administrator, 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 Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, or
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.
84
In addition, the Master Servicer in its capacity as Seller shall obtain
at its own expense and deliver to the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the
Guarantor, the Trust Administrator 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 date" 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,
the Trust Administrator or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give
written notice thereof to the other parties. 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). The Trustee and the Trust Administrator
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.
Section 2.04 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Master
Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents, warrants and covenants to

pursuant to Section 203 and Section 211 of the National Housing Act;
(v) No litigation is pending against the Master Servicer that
would materially and adversely affect the execution, delivery or enforceability
of this Agreement or the ability of the Master Servicer to service the Mortgage
Loans or to perform any of its other obligations hereunder in accordance with
the terms hereof;
(vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by the Master Servicer of, or compliance by the Master Servicer
with, this Agreement or the consummation by the Master Servicer of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents,
approvals, authorizations or orders, if any, that have been obtained prior to
the Closing Date;
(vii) The information set forth in the Prepayment Charge Schedule
is complete, true and correct in all material respects at the date or dates
respecting which such information is furnished and each Prepayment Charge is

extent that: (1) 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); provided that the representation, warranty and covenant contained
in this clause (vii) is made by the Master Servicer only in its capacity as
Seller; and
86
(viii) The Master Servicer will not waive any Prepayment Charge
or part of a Prepayment Charge unless such waiver is related to a default or a
reasonably foreseeable default and would maximize recovery of total proceeds
taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge and related Mortgage

Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator 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 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

Payment Amount) shall constitute the sole remedy against the Master Servicer

Insurer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the

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 the Trust Administrator and in the best interests of
and for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer (as
91
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;
(ii) 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 and the Trust Administrator 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, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, and upon notice to
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, 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,
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,
each of the Trust Administrator and 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 necessary or appropriate to enable the Master
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative
duties hereunder, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator each 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 and the Trust Administrator, at the direction
of the Master Servicer, shall execute a separate power of attorney in favor of
92
(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. Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall 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 to a Mortgagor 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 date" 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.
For each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will accurately and fully
report its borrower credit files to each of the Credit Repositories in a timely
manner.
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 or
any of the NIM Notes, as evidenced by a letter to that effect delivered by each
Rating Agency to the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the NIMS Insurer and
the Guarantor 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 or the Certificates Controlling Person (as provided in
93
Section 1.04) 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 and the Trust Administrator are 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 or the Certificate Insurer,
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 Guarantor, the
NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator, the Certificateholders and the
Certificate Insurer, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under
the related Sub-Servicing 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
94
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 Trust
Administrator or 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 or
the Certificates Controlling Person (as provided in Section 1.04), 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 or the Trust
Administrator without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall so terminate such Sub-Servicing
Agreement at the direction of the NIMS Insurer or the Certificates Controlling
Person (as provided in Section 1.04) in the event that the Master Servicer (or
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, 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, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer 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 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 Guarantor, the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor and the Certificateholders shall
95
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
Trust Administrator.
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 Trust Administrator 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 or the Trust Administrator elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such
assumption, the Trust Administrator, its designee or the successor servicer for
the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator, 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 Trust Administrator, 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 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
96
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 no later than two years with
respect to a Group I 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 Controlling 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. If the
Class C Certificates are no longer outstanding, the Master Servicer shall not
take any action pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to a Group I
Mortgage Loan without obtaining the prior written consent of the Guarantor to
such modification. The Master Servicer shall submit to the Guarantor with its
request for consent, such information related to the proposed modification as
can be expected to be needed by the Guarantor to evaluate the Master Servicer's
request, including the terms of the proposed modification and the reasons for
the Master Servicer's decision that such Group I Mortgage Loan should be
modified. The Guarantor shall be deemed to have consented to the Master
Servicer's request in the event that the Guarantor does not either provide the
Master Servicer with its written consent to such requested modification or
written notice of its objection to such modification within five Business Days
of its receipt of the Master Servicer's request. Requests for modification shall
be sent to the Guarantor at: Xxxxxx Xxx, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X.,
Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X. 00000, Attn: Vice President-Loss Mitigation. With respect to
each Group I Mortgage Loan which is modified with the consent of the Guarantor,
the Master Servicer shall give written notice to the NIMS Insurer and the
Certificate Insurer to the addresses set forth in Section 11.05 and to the
Guarantor to the following address: Xxxxxx Xxx, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X.,
Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X. 00000, Attn: Bond Administration. Such notice shall be
delivered within thirty Business Days following such modification and shall
include information with respect to the modification, including, without
limitation, the interest rate, the principal balance and the maturity date of
such Group I Mortgage Loan before and after such modification.
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 Trust Administrator for the
benefit of Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Trustee, in trust for
registered Holders of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2002-3, Asset-Backed
Certificates, Series 2002-3. 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
97
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 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 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
98
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):
(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

3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments with

(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
99
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 Trust Administrator, as agent for
the Trustee, shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or
accounts, the "Distribution Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the
Trustee, the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer. On behalf of the
Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator in
immediately available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before
3:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, that portion
of the Group I Available Funds and the Group II 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 Trust Administrator, the Seller or any
Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons
entitled thereto.
(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account 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 Trust
Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the Certificate Insurer and the
Depositor of the location of the Collection Account maintained by it when
established and prior to any change thereof. The Trust Administrator shall give
notice to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the
Certificate Insurer and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution
Account when established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered
by the Master Servicer to the Trust Administrator 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 and the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator
for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited
therein, it may at any time request that the Trust Administrator withdraw, and
the Trust Administrator 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
100
to the Trust Administrator from time to time for deposit, and the Trust
Administrator shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(i) any Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.04, unless

Person;
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section

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
Trust Administrator shall deposit such funds in the Distribution Account,
subject to withdrawal thereof pursuant to Section 7.02(b) or as otherwise

any Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid Servicing Fees or (b) any unreimbursed Servicing

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 Trust Administrator, the

Administrator shall:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given
thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on
the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise
mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of
(1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the
amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly

the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
Section 3.13 Agreement to Appoint a Special Servicer.
(a) The Guarantor (with the consent of the Certificate Insurer, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) may require the Master Servicer to
enter into a special subservicing agreement with a servicer with expertise in
servicing delinquent mortgage loans as designated by the Guarantor (the "Special
Servicer") on or after the earliest Distribution Date with respect to which the
aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class C Certificates has been
reduced to zero. Such special subservicing agreement shall relate to the
servicing of only Group I Mortgage Loans that (x) have been delinquent in
payment with respect to three or more Monthly Payments (provided, however, that
the third such Monthly Payment shall not be deemed to be delinquent for purposes
of this clause (x) until the close of business on the last day of the month in
which such Monthly Payment first became due) and (y) have been transferred to
the Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 3.13 and the related
special subservicing agreement (a "Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan").
(b) The special subservicing agreement shall be consistent with the
provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to this Section 3.13,
Section 3.02 (a), Section 3.02 (b), and Section 3.08, except as provided
otherwise in this Section 3.13. In addition, the special subservicing agreement
shall be on terms which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Guarantor and the
Master Servicer and shall provide, at a minimum that:
(1) the Special Servicer shall at all times meet the
eligibility criteria described in Section 3.02(a);

Servicing Fee with respect to all Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans;

Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee for any liabilities to them
arising from failures of the Special Servicer to perform its obligations
according to the terms of the subservicing agreement;

to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate
Insurer and the Guarantor of the transfer of servicing to the Special Servicer,
including the loan number together with the borrower's name and the unpaid
principal balance of the transferred Mortgage Loan at the time of transfer;
(10) each of the respective obligations, duties, and
liabilities of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (or either of them)
with respect to the servicing of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans that have
arisen prior to the date on which the servicing of such Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan was transferred to the Special Servicer (the "Effective Date"), or
that arise on and after the Effective Date, under this Agreement and the
subservicing agreement and that remain unperformed or unsatisfied shall survive
any transfer of servicing;
(11) once a Group I Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall remain a Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan, and shall continue to be serviced by the Special Servicer, until
the earlier of the liquidation or other disposition of such Mortgage Loan or the
termination of the subservicing agreement, regardless of delinquency status or
otherwise;
105
(12) the Guarantor may remove the Special Servicer if the
Special Servicer at any time fails to meet any of the above criteria or
otherwise, in the judgment of the Guarantor, fails to perform according to the
terms of the subservicing agreement and the provisions of this Section 3.13;
provided that prior to any such removal the Guarantor shall designate a
successor Special Servicer meeting the requirements of this Section 3.13, and no
removal of a Special Servicer shall be effective until a successor Special
Servicer has entered into a special subservicing agreement meeting the
requirements of this Section 3.13 and agreed to assume the duties of the Special
Servicer or the Master Servicer has undertaken such duties; and
(13) in connection with any transfer of a Group I Mortgage
Loan to the Special Servicer as a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall execute any appropriate assignments or other documents reasonable

(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,
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
106
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 Trust Administrator,
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 if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage
Loans, unless the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates has obtained a waiver
of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae. The Master Servicer shall also maintain a
fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx
Xxx, unless the Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates has obtained a waiver
of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae. The Master Servicer shall provide the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and
the Guarantor (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
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 and the Trust Administrator. 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
107
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, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and
the Guarantor that any such substitution, modification or assumption agreement
has been completed by forwarding to the Trust Administrator (with a copy to the
Trustee, the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate 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. If the Class C Certificates are no
longer outstanding, the Master Servicer shall not take or enter into any
substitution, assumption or modification agreement with respect to a Group I
Mortgage Loan without obtaining the prior written consent of the Guarantor to
such substitution, assumption or modification agreement. The Master Servicer
shall submit to the Guarantor with its request for consent, such information
related to the proposed substitution, assumption or modification agreement as
can be expected to be needed by the Guarantor to evaluate the Master Servicer's
request, including the terms of the proposed substitution, assumption or
modification and the reasons for the Master Servicer's decision that such
substitution, assumption or modification agreement should be taken or entered
into with respect to such Group I Mortgage Loan. The Guarantor shall be deemed
to have consented to the Master Servicer's request in the event that the
Guarantor does not either provide the Master Servicer with its written consent
to such requested substitution, assumption or modification agreement or written
notice of its objection to such substitution, assumption or modification
agreement within five Business Days of its receipt of the Master Servicer's
request. Such requests shall be sent to the Guarantor at: Xxxxxx Xxx, 0000
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X. 00000, Attn: Vice President-Loss
Mitigation. With respect to each substitution, assumption or modification
agreement which is entered into with the consent of the Guarantor, the Master
Servicer shall give written notice to the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate
Insurer to the addresses set forth in Section 11.05, to the Guarantor to the
108
following address: Xxxxxx Xxx, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X.
00000, Attn: Bond Administration. Such notice shall be delivered within thirty
Business Days following the date of such substitution, assumption or
modification agreement.
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 Administrator, 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
109
(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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such environmental audit reveals, or
if the Master Servicer has knowledge or notice, that the Mortgaged Property
securing such 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 Guarantor (with respect to the Group I Mortgage Loans) and the
Certificate 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, the Certificate Insurer or the Guarantor 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, the Certificate
Insurer or the Guarantor 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, as
applicable, 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 Trust Administrator and the Trustee prior to purchase), at a
price equal to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
110
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. In the event neither the Master Servicer nor
the NIMS Insurer exercises its option to purchase from REMIC 1 any such Mortgage
Loan or related REO Property prior to the expiration of such option, the
Certificate Insurer shall be entitled to purchase such Mortgage Loan or related
REO Property at any time thereafter. In the event none of the Master Servicer,
the NIMS Insurer or the Controlling Insurer exercises its option to purchase
from REMIC 1 any such Group I Mortgage Loan or related REO Property prior to the
expiration of such option, the Guarantor shall be entitled to purchase such
Group I 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 Trust Administrator, upon
receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall
release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, the Controlling Insurer
or the Guarantor, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and the Trustee, or
the Trust Administrator on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
Master Servicer, the Controlling Insurer or the Guarantor, as applicable, shall
furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer, the
Controlling Insurer or the Guarantor, 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 or Liquidation
Proceeds, 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 and Trust Administrator 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, Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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.
111
(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 Trust Administrator or
the applicable Custodian shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery
to the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 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 Trust
Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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, the applicable
Custodian or the Trust Administrator 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 and the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator or the applicable Custodian and a statement
as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required.
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
112
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds 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 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 the Trust Administrator) and shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.
Section 3.19 Reports to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator;
Collection Account Statements.
Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall forward to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the Depositor (and, upon request, the
Guarantor) 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 Trust Administrator to
any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator.
Section 3.20 Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator, the
Trustee, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Guarantor, the Certificate Insurer
and each Rating Agency on or before April 15 of each calendar year commencing in
2003, 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
113
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
Trust Administrator to any Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the
Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator.
Section 3.21 Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
Not later than April 15 of each calendar year commencing in 2003, 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 Trust Administrator, the
Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor and each
Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trust
Administrator to any Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's
expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the
Trust Administrator. In the event such firm of independent certified public
accountants requires the Trust Administrator to agree to the procedures
performed by such firm, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trust Administrator
in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Trust
Administrator will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon
the direction of the Master Servicer, and the Trust Administrator 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.
(a) 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 or
the Certificate Insurer 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 Guarantor (with
respect to Group I Mortgage Loans only), the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate
114
Insurer, the Trust Administrator, 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.
(b) For a period of two years from the Closing Date, the Guarantor may
contact the Seller to confirm that the Seller continues to actively engage in a
program to originate mortgage loans to low-income families and to obtain other
non-proprietary information about the Seller's activities that may assist the
Guarantor in completing its own regulatory requirements during normal business
hours and subject to reimbursement for expenses. The Seller shall use reasonable
efforts to provide such information to the Guarantor.
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 Trust
Administrator, Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor
and the Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trust Administrator,
the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor 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.
115
(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 and the Certificate Insurer. 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 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, none of the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or 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 NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Trust
Administrator 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
116
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 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).
117
(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 with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only.
(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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Insurer, the
Guarantor and any successor master servicer in respect of any such liability;
provided, that in the case of the Guarantor such indemnity shall only apply with
respect to Group I Mortgage Loans. 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 Funds.
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator, on behalf
of the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Certificate Insurer,
118
shall establish and maintain with itself two separate, segregated trust accounts
titled, "Group I Reserve Fund, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trust
Administrator for the benefit of Wachovia Bank, National Association, as
Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust
2002-3, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2002-3" and "Group II Reserve Fund,
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trust Administrator for the benefit of
Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders
of Long Beach Mortgage Loan Trust 2002-3, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series
2002-3," respectively.
(b) The Trust Administrator shall deposit into the Reserve Funds the
following amounts:
(i) On each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall
deposit all amounts received with respect to the Group I Cap Agreement in the
Group I Reserve Fund and all amounts received with respect to the Group II Cap
Agreement in the Group II Reserve Fund;
(ii) On the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deposit, or cause
to be deposited, into each of the Reserve Funds $1,000;
(iii) On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class I-A Certificates, the Trust
Administrator has been directed by the Class I-C Certificateholders to, and
therefore shall, deposit into the Group I Reserve Fund the amounts described in
Section 4.01(d)(i)(i). On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Class II-A Certificates, the Trust
Administrator has been directed by the Class II-C Certificateholders to, and
therefore shall, deposit into the Group II Reserve Fund the amounts described in
Section 4.01(d)(ii)(g); and
(iv) On each Distribution Date as to which there are no Net WAC
Rate Carryover Amounts, the Trust Administrator shall deposit into each Reserve
Fund on behalf of the related Class C Certificateholders, from amounts otherwise
distributable to such Class C Certificateholders, an amount such that when added
to other amounts already on deposit in such Reserve Fund, the aggregate amount
on deposit therein is equal to $1,000.
(c) Each Reserve Fund shall be segregated into two separate portions,
for which the Trust Administrator shall keep separate accounts. "Portion 1" of
each Reserve Fund will consist of amounts deposited pursuant to Section
3.26(b)(i), above, plus any amounts earned on any such funds while on deposit in
the Reserve Fund. "Portion 2" of each Reserve Fund will consist of amounts
deposited pursuant to Sections 3.26(b)(ii), (b)(iii), and (b)(iv), above, plus
any amounts earned on any such funds while on deposit in the Reserve Fund.
Amounts distributed from the Reserve Funds under Sections 4.01(d) and 3.26(c)
shall be deemed to be distributed first from Portion 1 of such Reserve Fund to
the extent thereof and then from Portion 2.
(d) Each Portion of each Reserve Fund shall be treated as an "outside
reserve fund" under applicable Treasury regulations and will not be part of any
REMIC created hereunder. For federal and state income tax purposes, the Trust
Administrator shall be deemed to be the owner of Portion 1 of each Reserve Fund
and no amount will be transferred by any REMIC to Portion 1 of either Reserve
Fund. For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class I-C
Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of Portion 2 of the Group I
119
Reserve Fund and all amounts deposited into such Portion 2 of the Group I
Reserve Fund (other than the initial deposit therein of $1,000) shall be treated
as amounts distributed by REMIC 4 to REMIC CX in respect of the REMIC 4 Regular
Interest LT4-IC, and then distributed by REMIC CX to the Holders of the Class
I-C Certificates. For federal and state income tax purposes, the Class II-C
Certificateholders shall be deemed to be the owners of Portion 2 of the Group II
Reserve Fund and all amounts deposited into such Portion 2 of the Group 2
Reserve Fund (other than the initial deposit therein of $1,000) shall be treated
as amounts distributed by REMIC 4 to REMIC CX in respect of REMIC 4 Regular
Interest LT4-IIC and then distributed by REMIC CX to the Holders of the Class
II-C Certificates. For federal and state income tax purposes, payments in
respect of the Class A 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).
(e) By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder
shall be deemed to have directed the Trust Administrator to, and the Trust
Administrator shall pursuant to such direction, deposit into the Reserve Funds
the amounts described in Section 3.26(b)(iii) and (b)(iv) above on each
Distribution Date. By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C
Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by
such acceptance.
(f) At the direction of the Holders of a majority in Percentage
Interest in the Class C Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall direct any
depository institution maintaining Portion 2 of the Group I Reserve Fund or
Portion 2 of the Group II Reserve Fund, as applicable, to invest the funds in
such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a
discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business
Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be
withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than
the Trust Administrator or an Affiliate manages or advises such investment, and
(ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trust Administrator or an
Affiliate manages or advises such investment. If no investment direction of the
Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates with
respect to Portion 2 of the Reserve Fund is received by the Trust Administrator,
the Trust Administrator shall invest the funds in such Portion in Permitted
Investments managed by the Trust Administrator 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 each Reserve Funds
shall be invested in Bankers Trust's Institutional Cash Management Fund 1679 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 related Reserve Fund.
The Trust Administrator shall hold the funds in Portion 1 of each
Reserve Fund uninvested in an Eligible Account.
(g) For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the
Certificateholders to receive payment on account of the Class A Certificates
from the related Reserve Fund in respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount
shall be assigned a value of zero.
120
Section 3.27 Advance Facility.
(a) The Trust Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee and the Trust
Fund, at the direction of the Master Servicer and with the consent of the
Controlling Insurer, after consultation with the Guarantor (or, if there is no
Controlling Insurer, with the consent of the Guarantor), 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 Trust
Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Controlling Insurer or the Guarantor, if applicable,
shall not withhold its consent, after consultation with the Guarantor, if
applicable, to the Trust Fund's entering into such facility.
(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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 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
121
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 and the Trust Administrator, 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.
Section 3.29 Group I Mortgage Loans Subject to Relief Act.
If any of the Group I Mortgage Loans becomes subject to the Relief Act,
the Master Servicer shall, with respect to such Group I Mortgage Loan, complete
Xxxxxx Xxx Special Information Worksheet (for Military Indulgence) substantially
in the form set forth on Exhibit G-1 hereto and shall require the related
Mortgagor to complete Xxxxxx Mae Form 180 Request For Military Indulgence
substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit G-2 hereto. The Master Servicer
shall retain the executed originals of such forms in its servicing files related
to such Group I Mortgage Loan and, upon the Guarantor's request, shall promptly
deliver such forms to the Guarantor at the address specified by the Guarantor,
or if no such address is specified, to Xxxxxx Xxx, Management Portfolio
Processing Unit, 00000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Mail Stop:
5H-1W-06. Each Remittance Report delivered by the Master Servicer to the
Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.04 in connection with a Distribution Date shall
include a schedule of the Group I Mortgage Loans subject to the Relief Act on
such Distribution Date and shall set forth the amount of Relief Act Interest
Shortfalls for such Distribution Date in connection with each such Group I
Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.30 Cap Agreements.
(a) The Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute and deliver on
behalf of the Trust each of the Cap Contracts and authorizes the Trustee to
perform its obligations thereunder on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the
respective terms of each Cap Agreement. The Trustee hereby directs the Trust
Administrator to execute and deliver on behalf of the Trust each of the Cap
Contracts and authorizes the Trust Administrator to perform its obligations
thereunder on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the respective terms of
each Cap Agreement.
(b) If the Cap Provider no longer has a short-term certificates of
deposit rating of at least "A-1" from S&P or "P-1" from Xxxxx'x (or their
equivalent) (the "Approved Rating Thresholds"), the Trust Administrator shall,
promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator has received
actual knowledge or written notice of the reduction or withdrawal of the rating
(it being understood that the Trust Administrator has no duty to monitor the
ratings of the Cap Provider), request the Cap Provider to (i) obtain replacement
Cap Agreements with a counterparty that is a bank or other financial institution
with the Approved Rating Thresholds or (ii) post collateral with the Trustee in
an amount sufficient to restore the immediately prior ratings of the
Certificates.
(c) In the event that either of the Cap Agreements is canceled or
otherwise terminated for any reason (other than the exhaustion of the interest
122
rate protection provided thereby or replacement of the applicable 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 Trust Administrator
to obtain from a counterparty designated by the Depositor a replacement contract
comparable to the related Cap Agreement (which both such counterparty and such
replacement contract shall be acceptable to the Trust Administrator, 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 the related 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 Trust Administrator under such 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.
Section 3.31 Payments on the Certificate Insurance Policy.
(a) On behalf of the Trust Fund the Trust Administrator shall establish
and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts
(such account or accounts, the "Policy Payments Account"), held in trust for the
benefit of the Trustee, the Certificateholders, the Guarantor and the
Certificate Insurer. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator shall
deposit or cause to be deposited any Insured Payments paid under the Certificate
Insurance Policy and received by the Trust Administrator in the Policy Payments
Account and distribute such amounts only for the purpose of payment to the
Holders of the related Insured Certificates of the related Insured Payments and
such amounts may not be used to satisfy any costs, expenses or liabilities of
the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Guarantor, the
NIMS Insurer or the Trust. Insured Payments deposited in the Policy Payments
Account shall not be invested in Permitted Investments or otherwise, and shall
be disbursed by the Trust Administrator to the Holders of the related Insured
Certificates in accordance with Section 4.01(c).
As soon as possible, and in no event later than 9:00 a.m. (Santa Ana,
California time) on the fourth Business Day (as defined in the Insurance
Agreement) immediately preceding the related Distribution Date, the Trust
Administrator shall determine whether a Certificate Insurer Deficiency Amount is
required to be paid under the Certificate Insurance Policy with respect to such
Distribution Date and, if so, shall immediately notify the Master Servicer by
telephone, which notice shall be confirmed in writing by facsimile transmission,
of the Trust Administrator's intention so to file the applicable Notice of
Claim. If by the close of business in Santa Ana, California on such date a
Certificate Insurer Deficiency Amount is still required to be paid under the
Certificate Insurance Policy with respect to such Distribution Date, the Trust
Administrator shall furnish the Certificate Insurer (or an agent of the
Certificate Insurer designated to the Trust Administrator in writing) with a
completed Notice of Claim in respect of such Certificate Insurer Deficiency
Amount by 12:00 noon New York City time on the next succeeding Business Day (as
defined in the Insurance Agreement) and shall provide a copy thereof to the
Master Servicer at or prior to the time such Notice of Claim is received by the
Certificate Insurer. The Notice of Claim shall constitute a claim therefor
pursuant to the Certificate Insurance Policy. In the event any funds are
received by the Trust Administrator from the Master Servicer prior to the close
of business in Santa Ana, California on the Business Day (as defined in the
Insurance Agreement) following the transmission of a Notice of Claim to the
Certificate Insurer (or an agent of the Certificate Insurer designated to the
Trust Administrator in writing), and such funds reduce the amount of the
Certificate Insurer Deficiency Amount to which such Notice of Claim relates, the
123
Certificate Insurer Deficiency Amount to which such Notice of Claim relates
shall be reduced by a corresponding amount, and the Notice of Claim shall be
deemed to have been rescinded to the extent of the reduction of the Certificate
Insurer Deficiency Amount. Notification of any such reduction in the Insured
Payment shall be given to the Certificate Insurer (or an agent of the
Certificate Insurer designated to the Trust Administrator in writing) by the
Trust Administrator by no later than 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the related
Distribution Date.
(b) If the Trust Administrator receives a certified copy of an order of
the appropriate court (an "Order") that any prior distribution made on the
Insured Certificates constitutes a Preference Amount, the Trust Administrator
shall so notify the Certificate Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the
Certificate Insurance Policy to obtain payment by the Certificate Insurer of
such Preference Amount and shall, at the time it provides notice to the
Certificate Insurer, notify each Holder of the affected Insured Certificates by
mail that (i) subject to the terms of the Certificate Insurance Policy, the
Certificate Insurer will disburse the Preference Amount directly to the
receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in
the Order on the fourth Business Day following such Certificateholder's making
timely delivery to the Trust Administrator of (a) a certificate of such
Certificateholder that such Order has been entered and is not subject to any
stay, (b) an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Insurer that
such Order is final and is not subject to appeal and (c) an assignment duly
executed and delivered by such Certificateholder, in such form as is reasonably
required by the Certificate Insurer and provided to such Certificateholder by
the Certificate Insurer, irrevocably assigning to the Certificate Insurer all
rights and claims of such Certificateholder relating to or arising under the
affected Insured Certificates against the debtor that made a payment of such
Preference Amount, or otherwise with respect to such payment, provided that if
such documents are received after 10:00 a.m., New York time, on such Business
Day, they will be deemed to be received on the following Business Day, and (ii)
if any such Preference Amount payment is recovered from such Certificateholder
pursuant to such Order, such Certificateholder will be entitled to payment
pursuant to the Certificate Insurance Policy. A copy of the Certificate
Insurance Policy shall be made available to each affected Certificateholder
through the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator shall furnish to
the Certificate Insurer or its fiscal agent, if any, its records evidencing the
payments that have been made by the Trust Administrator and subsequently
recovered from Certificateholders and the dates on which such payments were
made.
(c) The Trust Administrator shall receive, as attorney-in-fact for each
Holder of the Insured Certificates, any Insured Payment allocable to such
Insured Certificates, from the Certificate Insurer and disburse the same in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01(c). Any portion of the
distributions made by the Trust Administrator in respect of any Insured Payment,
from proceeds of the Certificate Insurance Policy shall not be considered
payment by the Trust, nor shall such payments discharge the obligation of the
Trust with respect to such Insured Certificates, and the Certificate Insurer
shall become the owner of such unpaid amounts in respect of such Insured
Certificates. The Trust Administrator hereby agrees on behalf of the Trustee and
each Holder of an Insured Certificate for the benefit of the Certificate Insurer
that it recognizes that: to the extent the Certificate Insurer pays any Insured
Payments in respect of the Insured Certificates, either directly or indirectly
124
(as by paying through the Trust Administrator or the Trustee), to the Holders of
the Insured Certificates, the Certificate Insurer will be subrogated to the
rights of such Holders of Insured Certificates with respect to such Insured
Payments paid in respect of such Insured Certificates, shall be deemed to the
extent of the Insured Payments so paid in respect of such Insured Certificates,
to be a Certificate Owner of such Insured Certificates and shall be entitled to
receive all future distributions on such Insured Certificates until all such
Insured Payments (together with interest thereon at the related Late Payment
Rate from the date paid until the date of reimbursement thereof) have been fully
reimbursed, in each case subject to the following paragraph. Except as otherwise
described herein, the Certificate Insurer shall not acquire any Voting Rights
hereunder as a result of such subrogation.
(d) Each of the Trust Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled
to enforce on behalf of the Holders of the Insured Certificates the obligations

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 Trust Administrator, 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 Trust
Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of
Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator
shall, no later than three (3) days before the related Distribution Date, mail
to the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor and
each Holder on such date of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect
that:
(i) the Trust Administrator expects that the final distribution
with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution
Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office
of the Trust Administrator therein specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after
the end of the related Accrual Period; provided, that such notice shall be sent
to the Guarantor only with respect to Guaranteed Certificates.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of
such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or
Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held
in trust by the Trust Administrator and credited to the account of the
appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which
notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such
notice, the Trust Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining
133
non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall, directly or
through an agent, mail a final notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates but shall continue
to hold any remaining funds for the benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders.
The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund.
If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust Administrator shall pay to
Greenwich Capital Markets and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., pro rata, all such
amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such
amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any
Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trust Administrator as a
result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for
final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h).

The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall promptly notify the NIMS
Insurer of any proceeding or the institution of any action, of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable,
has actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law (a "Preference

proceeding action with respect to any court order issued in connection with any

unless the Trust Administrator, as indenture trustee with respect to the Insured
NIM Notes or the holder of any Insured NIM Notes has been required to relinquish
a distribution made on the Class S2 Certificates, the Class C Certificates, the
Class P Certificates or the Insured NIM Notes, as applicable, and the NIMS

In the case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses (i) through
(iii) above, the amounts shall be expressed in a separate section of the report
as a dollar amount for each Class for each $1,000 original dollar amount as of
the Closing Date.
(b) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Trust Administrator shall, upon written request, furnish to each
Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder of a
Regular Certificate, if requested in writing by such Person, such information as
is reasonably necessary to provide to such Person a statement containing the
information set forth in subclauses (i) through (iii) above, aggregated for such
calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a
Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trust Administrator shall be deemed to

Factor) to the Guarantor shall constitute an event of default and permit the
Guarantor to remove the Trust Administrator for cause; provided that the Master
Servicer had delivered the Remittance Report for the related Distribution Date
to the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 4.04.
Section 4.04 Remittance Reports; Advances.
(a) Within one Business Day after each Determination Date, but in no
event later than such date which would allow the Trust Administrator to submit a
claim to the NIMS Insurer, under the Indenture, or to the Certificate Insurer
under the Certificate Insurance Policy, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor, the Trust Administrator
and the Trustee by telecopy or electronic mail (or by such other means as the
Master Servicer, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor, the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee, as the case may be, may agree from time to
time) a Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. All
such reports shall be delivered to the Guarantor at
xxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx. Not later than each Master Servicer
Remittance Date (or, in the case of certain information, as agreed between the
Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer, not later than four Business Days
after the end of each Due Period), the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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
Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of
business on the related Determination Date, plus (ii) with respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did not
occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if
139
any, of the Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the
related Servicing Fee) that would have been due on the related Due Date in
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
Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator will provide notice to
the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor, the Trustee 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 Trust Administrator 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
(d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the
Mortgage Loan is paid in full or until the recovery of all Liquidation Proceeds
thereon.
(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 NIMS Insurer, the
Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and
the Trustee.

If the Certificate Insurer's failure to make a payment required under
the Certificate Insurance Policy continues for a period of 60 days or if the
financial strength of the Certificate Insurer is downgraded to or below the
levels specified in the Insurance Agreement, the Depositor may, but shall not be

treated as a significant modification within the meaning of Treas. Reg. ss.
1.1001-3 and that the substitution does not cause any REMIC created by this

transactions tax of Code Section 860F(a), (iii) the provider of the new credit
enhancement be reasonably acceptable to the Guarantor as evidenced by its
written consent and (iv) the cost of such new credit enhancement for the Class

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-13. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in
registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as
described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all
rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed by the Trust
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee and authenticated and delivered by the
Trust Administrator, to or upon the order of the Depositor. The Certificates
shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the
Trust Administrator by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual
or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers
of the Trust Administrator shall bind the Trustee and the Trust Administrator,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
148
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 or the Trust Administrator
by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date
of their authentication.
(b) The 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 or the Trust
Administrator 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 Trust Administrator is
hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act
as such in accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has
with the Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may,
and if it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall,
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee and if the Trust Administrator is not the Book-Entry
Custodian, the Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Trustee, successor Trust Administrator or, if it so elects, the Depository shall
immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The
Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any
Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.
The Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, 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. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as
Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter
shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners. The Trust Administrator may establish a reasonable record
149
date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by
Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trust
Administrator in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system
through the Depository 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 Trust
Administrator through the Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a
book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of
the Certificate Owners, the Trust Administrator shall notify all Certificate
Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the
same. Upon surrender to the Trust Administrator of the Book-Entry Certificates
by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the
Trust Administrator shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Such Definitive
Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000, except that
any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry Certificate in an
amount less than $100,000 immediately prior to the issuance of a Definitive
Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to the amount
represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.
Section 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trust Administrator shall cause to be kept at one of the
offices or agencies to be appointed by the Trust Administrator in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trust
Administrator 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 S2
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 (other than in connection with the
initial transfer of any Class S2 Certificate, Class C Certificate, Class P
Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Depositor to the Seller or the
transfer of any Class S2 Certificate, 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 or the transfer of
150
any Class S2 Certificate, 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) (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon
Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment letter delivered to the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit J)
under the 1933 Act, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator 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, the Trust
Administrator 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, the Trust Administrator or the Depositor
or (ii) the Trust Administrator shall require the transferor to execute a
transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L)
and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee
certifying to the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee the facts
surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Depositor. The Holder of a Class C
Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, 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) No transfer of a Class S2 Certificate, 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, the Trust Administrator and the Master
Servicer are provided with an Opinion of Counsel which establishes to the
satisfaction of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Master Servicer that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under
applicable law, will not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction
under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator 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, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund. Neither an
Opinion of Counsel nor any certification will be required in connection with the
initial transfer of any Class S2 Certificate, Class C Certificate, Class P
Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Depositor to the Seller or the
transfer of any Class S2 Certificate, 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 or the transfer of
any Class S2 Certificate, 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 (in which case, the Depositor, the Seller, any such
Affiliate and such 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 and the Trust Administrator shall be
entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, 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 S2 Certificate, 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 with the initial transfer of any Class C Certificate, Class P
Certificate or Residual Certificates by the Depositor to the Seller or the
151
transfer of any Class S2 Certificate, 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 or 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).
If any Class S2 Certificate, Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate
or Residual 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, the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 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.
152
(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. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall 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 or the Trust Administrator received the
documents specified in clause (iii). The Trustee and the Trust Administrator
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 or the Trust Administrator shall be distributed and
delivered by the Trust Administrator 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 and the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator to the previous Holder
of such Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee, except that in the
event that the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Section, then the Trust Administrator will provide to the Internal Revenue
Service, and to the persons designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code,
153
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 Trust Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trust Administrator, (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 NIM Notes 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 Trust
Administrator designated from time to time for such purpose pursuant to Section
8.12, the Trust Administrator, on behalf of 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 Trust Administrator maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange the Trust Administrator, on behalf of 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be canceled by the Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator or the Trust Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered
to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor (in the case of an
Insured Certificate), the Certificate Insurer and (in the case of a Class S2
Certificate, Class C Certificate or Class P Certificate) the NIMS Insurer 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 Trust Administrator
that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trust
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall 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 Trust
154
Administrator may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator) 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 Trust
Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor and any
agent of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the NIMS Insurer or the Guarantor 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 Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, the
Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor nor any agent of any of them shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
ARTICLE VI
THE MASTER SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR

Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of

each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to
protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or
any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this
Agreement.
The Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with
or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any
Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be the
successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be,
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of

Guarantor, 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, the Depositor, or the Guarantor, as
applicable, pursuant hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be

performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Guarantor, the Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Guarantor 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 Guarantor, the Master Servicer, the
Certificate Insurer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor, the Guarantor 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. None of the Depositor, the Guarantor or the
Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under
this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor, the Guarantor 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, the Guarantor 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, the Guarantor 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.
156
The Master Servicer (except the Trust Administrator or the Trustee to
the extent it has succeeded the Master Servicer as required hereunder)
indemnifies and holds the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Guarantor 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 Trust Administrator,
the Trustee, the Depositor, the Guarantor, the Certificate Insurer 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 Trust
Administrator, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the
Guarantor 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 Trust Administrator) 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 Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Guarantor 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 Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer or the Certificates Controlling
Person (as provided in Section 1.04) and written confirmation from each Rating
Agency (which confirmation shall be furnished to the Depositor and the Trust
Administrator) that such resignation will not cause such Rating Agency to reduce
the then current rating of any of the NIM Notes or the Class II-A Certificates
(without regard to the Certificate Insurance Policy). 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 Trust Administrator. No resignation of the Master Servicer shall become
effective until the Trust Administrator or a successor servicer reasonably
acceptable to the NIMS Insurer or the Certificates Controlling Person (as
provided in Section 1.04) 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.
157
Section 6.05 Rights of the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate
Insurer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator
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 NIMS Insurer,
the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor, the Trust Administrator 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; provided, that access to records for the Guarantor shall be limited
to those related to Group I Mortgage Loans. Upon request, the Master Servicer
shall furnish to the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the
Guarantor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee its (and any such
Sub-Servicer's) most recent financial statements and such other information
relating to the Master Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's capacity to perform its
obligations under this Agreement that it possesses; provided, that any such
information furnished to the Guarantor shall be limited to that which is related
to Group I Mortgage Loans. To the extent such information is not otherwise
available to the public, the Depositor, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate
Insurer, the Guarantor, the Trust Administrator 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 NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor, the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the
Depositor, the Guarantor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as the case
may be, shall use, and each of 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.

158
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 Business Day after the date upon
which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall
have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator (in which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the
Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee by the
NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor or the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or
(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 Master Servicer contained in this Agreement which continues
unremedied for a 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, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the
Trust Administrator and the Trustee by the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate
Insurer, the Guarantor 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 jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any
present or future 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

any 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
159
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.
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,
the Certificates Controlling Person (as provided in Section 1.04) or the Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by
notice in writing to the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor
and the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator if
given by the Trustee or to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator shall, by notice in writing to the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor
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 Trust Administrator pursuant to and under this
Section and, without limitation, the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator
and 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be deemed to
have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Default unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, assigned to
and working in the Trust Administrator's or the Trustee's Corporate Trust
Office, as the case may be, has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
160
notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer Event of Default is
received by the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, and such
notice references the Certificates, any of the Trust REMICs or this Agreement.
The Trustee and the Trust Administrator, as applicable, 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 Trust Administrator or the Trustee
to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to
enable the Trust Administrator or the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans
properly and effectively.
Section 7.02 Trust Administrator to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination, the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator (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 Trust Administrator is prohibited by law or regulation from
obligating itself to make advances regarding delinquent Mortgage Loans, then the
Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator 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, the Certificates Controlling
Person or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights so request in writing to the Trust Administrator, 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 or
the Certificates Controlling Person, as provided in Section 1.04, as the
successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of all
161
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 Trust
Administrator 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, the
Trust Administrator and such successor shall take such action, 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
Trust Administrator shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.
Upon removal or resignation of the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, with the cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall (unless
otherwise directed by Certificates Controlling Person or the Controlling
Insurer) 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator, 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 Trust Administrator, 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 Trust
Administrator 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
Trust Administrator, 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator
to the Master Servicer at the time of such sale.
(b) If the Master Servicer fails to remit to the Trust Administrator
for distribution to the Certificateholders, the Certificate Insurer or the
Guarantor 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 Trust
Administrator 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 Trust Administrator shall be obligated to
make such advance only if (i) such advance, in the good faith judgment of the
162
Trust Administrator can reasonably be expected to be ultimately recoverable from
Stayed Funds and (ii) the Trust Administrator is not prohibited by law from
making such advance or obligating itself to do so. Upon remittance of the Stayed
Funds to the Trust Administrator or the deposit thereof in the Distribution
Account by the Master Servicer, a trustee in bankruptcy or a federal bankruptcy
court, the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator's
rights to recover from the Master Servicer's own funds interest on the amount of
any such advance. If the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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.
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 Trust Administrator shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register, to the NIMS Insurer, to the Certificate Insurer and to the
Guarantor.
(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 or the Trust Administrator becomes aware of the
occurrence of such an event, the Trust Administrator shall transmit by mail to
all Holders of Certificates, to the NIMS Insurer, to the Certificate Insurer and
to the Guarantor 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 or the Certificates
Controlling Person, as provided in Section 1.04, 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 or the
Certificates Controlling Person, as provided in Section 1.04 (as evidenced by
the written consent of the NIMS Insurer or the Certificates Controlling Person,
as the case may be). 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 AND THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR
Section 8.01 Duties of Trustee and Trust Administrator.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, 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, each of the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a
duty.
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of all
resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or
other instruments furnished to the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator shall take such
action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the
instrument is not corrected to the Trust Administrator's satisfaction, the Trust
Administrator will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator from liability for its own negligent action,
its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(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 and the Trust
Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be liable
except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and, in the
absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, 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) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the NIMS Insurer,
164
the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor 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 the Trust
Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or
the Trust Administrator, under this Agreement.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator 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 or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, may
prescribe;
(ii) Each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator may consult
with counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
under any 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,
the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor or the Certificateholders, pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement, unless the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate
Insurer, the Guarantor or such Certificateholders shall have offered to the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, 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 or the Trust Administrator 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) Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith
and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(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, neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be
bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
165
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the
Guarantor or the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting
Rights; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the

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 or the Trust Administrator, may be
enforced by it without the possession of any of the Certificates, or the

arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its
obligations 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
the duties and service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement, (ii) that constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee or the

under Article X hereof. Any amounts payable to the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, in respect of the
167
indemnification provided by this paragraph (a), or pursuant to any other right
of reimbursement from the Trust Fund that the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, may have hereunder in its
capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trust Administrator from the
Distribution Account at any time. Such indemnity shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the resignation of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator.
As a limitation on the foregoing with respect to certain expenses of
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, each of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator 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

$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). Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator
shall have any 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 each of the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator harmless for any consequences to such Certificateholders
resulting from any failure of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator 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 and the
Trust Administrator from, and hold each of them 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 or the Trust Administrator. Any payment under this Section 8.05(b) made
by the Master Servicer to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be from
the Master Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund
therefor.

resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer or
the Certificates Controlling Person, as provided in Section 1.04 (or in the case
of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee), or if at any time the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged
bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of either of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
take charge or control of either of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of
its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, then the Depositor or the NIMS Insurer or the Certificates
Controlling Person, as provided in Section 1.04 (or in the case of the Trust

Certificates Controlling Person, as provided in Section 1.04, 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 or
the Trust Administrator, as applicable, so removed and to the successor Trustee
or the Trust Administrator, as applicable. A copy of such instrument shall be

Person, as provided in Section 1.04, may at any time remove the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator and appoint a successor Trustee or the Trust Administrator
by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by the NIMS Insurer,
the Certificates Controlling Person 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 or the Trust
Administrator, as the case may be, so removed and one complete set to the
successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the NIMS
Insurer, the Guarantor, the Certificate Insurer, the Certificateholders and the
169
Master Servicer by the Depositor. In addition, if the Trustee has knowledge that
the Trust Administrator has breached any of its duties under this Agreement, the
Trustee may remove the Trust Administrator in the same manner as provided in the
prior sentence. For purposes of this Section, the Trustee shall not be deemed to
have knowledge of a breach by the Trust Administrator of any of its duties
hereunder, unless a Responsible Officer of the 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 breach is received by the
Trustee, and such notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this
Agreement.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
and appointment of a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator pursuant to any of
the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee or the Trust Administrator as provided in
Section 8.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Trust
Administrator advises the Trustee that it is unable to continue to perform its
obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the appointment of
a successor, the Trustee shall be obligated to perform such obligations until a
new Trust Administrator is appointed and shall be entitled to receive any fees
that would have otherwise been payable to the Trust Administrator hereunder.
Such performance shall be without prejudice to any claim by a party hereto or
beneficiary hereof resulting from the Trust Administrator's breach of its
obligations hereunder.

Any successor Trustee or Trust Administrator appointed as provided in
Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, and to its
predecessor Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the predecessor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall become effective and
such successor Trustee or Trust Administrator, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally
named as Trustee or Trust Administrator herein. The predecessor Trustee or Trust
Administrator shall deliver to the successor Trustee or Trust Administrator 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 or Trust Administrator 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 or Trust Administrator all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor
Trustee or Trust Administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.06 and the appointment of such successor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall
not result in a downgrading of any of the NIM Notes or any Class of Certificates
by either Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator as provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of
the succession of such Trustee or Trust Administrator hereunder to all Holders
of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the

business of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, shall be the successor of
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, respectively, hereunder, provided such
corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section

part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of REMIC 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 and the NIMS Insurer or the Certificates Controlling Person (as provided
in Section 1.04), 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 or the Certificates
Controlling Person shall (as provided in Section 1.04) 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
171
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.
Section 8.11 Appointment of Custodians.
The Trust Administrator may, with the consent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, and the Certificate Controlling Person, appoint one or more
Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for the Trust
Administrator, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. Except with respect to
the Washington Mutual Mortgage Loans, the Trust Administrator shall initially
serve as the Custodian and this Agreement shall serve as the Custodial
Agreement. Washington Mutual Bank fsb is hereby appointed to serve as the
Custodian with respect to the Washington Mutual Mortgage Loans pursuant to the
related Custodial Agreement, and the Master Servicer and the Depositor hereby
consents to such appointment. 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 Trust Administrator and the consent of the
Controlling Insurer, after consultation with the Guarantor, the consent to which
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trust Administrator shall pay any and
all fees and expenses of any Custodian in accordance with each Custodial
Agreement. Subject to Article VIII hereof, the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator
hereunder. The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall at all times remain
responsible under the terms of this Agreement only to the extent each of the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator is responsible for its own acts hereunder;
neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be responsible for the
acts or omissions of a Custodian. Any documents delivered by the Depositor or
the Master Servicer to a Custodian other than the Trust Administrator, if any,
shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Trust Administrator for all
purposes hereunder; and any documents held by such a Custodian, if any, shall be
deemed to be held by the Trust Administrator for all purposes hereunder.

Guarantor's consent, if the distribution of the Termination Price according to
such priorities would result in the Certificate Insurer being required to make
an Insured Payment or the Guarantor being required to make a Guarantor Payment,
respectively, on the applicable Distribution Date. By acceptance of the Residual
Certificates, the Holders of the Residual Certificates agree, 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.
(c) Notice of the liquidation of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests shall be
given promptly by the Trust Administrator by letter to Certificateholders 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 Trust Administrator 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
175
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office of the Trust Administrator designated in such notice
for purposes of such surrender. The Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator by a Servicing
Representative of the making of such final deposit, the Trust Administrator
shall promptly release or cause to be released to the Terminator the Mortgage
Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans, and the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall execute all assignments,
endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.
(d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on
the final Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall distribute to each
Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the amount
otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. On the final
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator will withdraw from the Distribution
Account and remit to the Certificate Insurer and the Guarantor the respective
amounts otherwise payable to the Certificate Insurer and the Guarantor on such
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. 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 Trust Administrator
and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders.
If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section
9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after
the time specified in such notice, the Trust Administrator shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trust
Administrator shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to
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 Trust Administrator shall
pay to Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. all
such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such
amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any
Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trust Administrator as a
result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for
final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder in
respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.
Section 9.02 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Terminator purchases all the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property or the final payment on or other liquidation of the last
Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC 1 pursuant to Section 9.01, the

Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be
distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on

Fund shall terminate at that time.
(b) At the expense of the Terminator, the Trust Administrator shall
prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in connection with
the adoption of a plan of liquidation of each Trust REMIC pursuant to the

a timely manner, and the Trustee shall 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

Trust Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor. The Master
Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trust Administrator or its
designee such information with respect to the assets of the Trust Fund as is in
178
its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
to enable it to perform its respective obligations under this Article.
(e) The Trust Administrator shall perform on behalf of each Trust REMIC
all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of
such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance
issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing authority.
Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or such
other compliance guidance, the Trust Administrator 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

Administrator 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 Trust Administrator to enable it to perform its
obligations under this subsection. In addition, the Depositor shall provide or
cause to be provided to the Trust Administrator, within ten (10) days after the

Insurer.
(f) The Trustee and the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator, to the
extent reasonably requested by the Trust Administrator to do specific actions in
order to assist in the maintenance of such status). Neither the Trustee nor the
Trust Administrator shall 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 Trust Administrator,
the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the Guarantor have received an
Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the NIMS
Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the Guarantor (at the expense of the party
seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with
respect to any Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of
such a tax, nor shall the Master Servicer take or fail to take any action
(whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of
179
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 and the Trust
Administrator shall deliver to the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and the
Guarantor 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 action, which is not contemplated under the terms of
this Agreement, the Master Servicer will consult with the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator 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 or the Trust Administrator 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 and the Trust Administrator 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 or the Trust Administrator. At all times as may be
required by the Code, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such
tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trust Administrator of any of
its obligations under this Article X, (ii) to the Trustee pursuant to Section
10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee
of any of its obligations under this Article X, (iii) to the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or
this Article X, or (iv) 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 Trust Administrator shall deliver to the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor
and each Rating Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trust
Administrator stating the Trust Administrator's compliance with this Article X.
(i) The Trust Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year
and on an accrual basis.
(j) Following the Startup Day, neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall accept any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other
than in connection with any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in
accordance with Section 2.03 unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in the Trust Fund will not cause
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.
180
(k) None of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer
shall enter into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or
other compensation for services 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.
Section 10.02 Prohibited Transactions and Activities.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or
the Trustee shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans
(except in connection with (i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but
not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed
in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of REMIC 1, (iii) the termination of
REMIC 1 pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a substitution pursuant

accordance with Section 2.03), unless it, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate
Insurer and the Guarantor have received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the
Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer and
the Guarantor (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale,
disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in no event at the
expense of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator) that such sale, disposition,
substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the
status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject
to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions.
Section 10.03 Trustee, Trust Administrator, Master Servicer and Depositor
Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Trust

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

that would be a claim against the Trust Fund, provided that the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator, the NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Insurer, the Guarantor,
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, the
Certificate Insurer and the NIMS Insurer, adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder or the Certificate Insurer 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

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, the Trust
Administrator, the Guarantor and, if applicable, the Custodian, with the consent

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

modify the consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii)
without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates then outstanding.

pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as
a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trust
Administrator shall 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

execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may prescribe.
The cost of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this

Except as expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and

written request upon the Trust Administrator to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trust Administrator hereunder and shall have
offered to the Trust Administrator such reasonable indemnity as it may require
against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby,
and the Trust Administrator 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
Trust Administrator, 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

Section 11.09 Third-Party Beneficiaries.
Subject to Section 1.04, each of the NIMS Insurer and the Certificate

be entitled to enforce such rights, in each case, as if it were a party hereto.
Section 11.10 Grant of Security Interest.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of
the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a
sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the
parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a)
it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge
of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be
a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by
the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor's
right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable
to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and
all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account and Policy Payments Account,
whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the
Depositor's obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to
provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the
Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such
property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding
such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a
security interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in
clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee
the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of
the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend
the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional
sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee.
Section 11.11 Non-Petition.
Each of the parties hereto hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to
the date which is one year and one day after the date on which the last
Certificate ceases to be outstanding, it will not institute against, cooperate
with, encourage or join with any other Person in instituting against the
Depositor or Long Beach Asset Holdings Corp. in any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings under
any Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law; provided, however, that nothing
in this section shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification,
reimbursement or other payment under this Agreement.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and

duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on

made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in

set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Trust Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trust

Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denomi-nations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations

cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trust Administrator, the Guarantor, the NIMS Insurer, if any, the Certificate

Servicer or the NIMS Insurer, if any, or the Certificate Insurer may purchase,

The Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30)
Business Days, subject to extension upon a mutual agreement between the Seller

the applicable recording office where any such Recording Documents have been
delivered for recordation, the Recording Documents cannot be delivered to the
Purchaser, Trust Administrator or their designee within one year after the
Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser, Trust Administrator 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, Trust Administrator or
their designee by such date, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser, Trust
Administrator 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, Trust
Administrator 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, Trust
Administrator or their designee promptly after receipt thereof, and in any event

C-4
Each original document relating to a Mortgage Loan which is not
delivered to the Purchaser, Trust Administrator or their designee, if held by
the Seller, shall be so held for the benefit of the Purchaser or its assignee,
transferee or designee. In the event that any such original document is required

Trustee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the Purchaser.
Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser, the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee, or the Certificate Insurer, if any, in connection
with enforcing any obligations of the Seller under this Agreement will be

(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, the Trust
Administrator 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 or 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.

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 complete, 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 lien 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

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
C-8

tax or assessment lien against any Mortgaged Property;

not limited to claims, offsets, rights of set-off or defenses of the type
asserted in Xxxxxxxx v. Long Beach Mortgage Company (176 F.Supp.2d 714), 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 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

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);

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
C-9
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 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 and in a form acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae 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 Mortgage, including the Seller, has
done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such
mortgage title insurance policy;

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, 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 its remaining term
and to pay interest at the applicable Mortgage Rate. No Mortgage Loan is subject
to negative amortization. All rate adjustments have been performed in accordance
with the terms of the related Mortgage Note or 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

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

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
C-10
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, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by law. To the best of the

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

provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the
security, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of
trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is
no homestead or other exemption available to 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

other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the

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

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

from the Mortgagor;

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

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;

four-family residential dwelling, including condominium units and dwelling units
in planned unit developments, which, to the best of the Seller's knowledge, does

misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with respect to a

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, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage
Note, except for interest 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 the Due Date of the first installment of principal and
interest;
(xlv) There is no proceeding pending, or to best of the Seller's
knowledge threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged
Property or the taking by eminent domain of any Mortgaged Property;
(xlvi) None of the Mortgage Loans is subject to the Home
Ownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any comparable state law and any
breach of this representation will be deemed to materially and adversely affect
the value of the related loan;
C-14
(xlvii) No proceeds from any Mortgage Loans were used to finance
single-premium credit insurance policies;
(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 field for any bankruptcy or similar legal protection;
(l) Each Mortgage Loan was originated in compliance with the
following anti-predatory lending guidelines:
C-15
(i) Each 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");
(ii) No borrower was encouraged or required by the Seller to
select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan's originator which
is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the
time of the 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 Mortgage Loan's originator or any affiliate of the
Mortgage Loan's originator;
(iii) The methodology used in underwriting the extension of
credit for each 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 Mortgage Loan;
(iv) With respect to any 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
premiums; borrowers selecting Mortgage Loans which include such prepayment
premiums receive a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a rate or fee
reduction, in exchange for selecting a Mortgage Loan with a prepayment premium,
(ii) prior to the 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 prepayment premium is disclosed to
the borrower in the loan documents pursuant to applicable state and federal law,
and (iv) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the Master
Servicer shall not impose such prepayment premium in any instance when the
mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the borrower's default in making
the loan payments;
(v) No borrower was required to purchase any credit life,
disability, accident or health insurance product as a condition of obtaining the
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;
C-16
(vi) No Mortgage Loan is subject to the Home Ownership and Equity
Protection Act of 1994 (15 USC ss. 1602(aa)), Regulation Z (12 CFR 226.32) or
any similar state law or regulation including those relating to "high cost
mortgages" and "high LTV mortgages";
(vii) All points and fees related to each Mortgage Loan were
disclosed in writing to the borrower in accordance with applicable state and
federal law. Except in the case of a 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; and
(viii) 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 Mortgage Loan have been disclosed in
writing to the borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
regulation.
(li) No Group I Mortgage Loan had a principal balance at
origination in excess of the Guarantor'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.
(lii) Each Group I Mortgage Loan is secured by a first lien on
the related Mortgaged Property.
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.
C-17
Upon discovery by the Seller, the Guarantor 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 Trust Administrator'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, the Guarantor or
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 its discovery or its 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.
C-18
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 on the Closing Date (or such other location or time as is mutually
agreeable to the parties).
The Purchaser's obligation to close the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement shall be subject to each of the following conditions:
(a) All of the representations and warranties of the Seller under this
Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date as
of which they are made and no event shall have occurred which, with notice or
the passage of time, would constitute a default under this Agreement;
(b) The Purchaser shall have received, or the attorneys of the
Purchaser shall have received in escrow (to be released from escrow at the time
of closing), all Closing Documents as specified in Section 9 of this Agreement,
in such forms as are agreed upon and acceptable to the Purchaser, duly executed
by all signatories other than the Purchaser as required pursuant to the
respective terms thereof;
(c) The Seller shall have delivered or caused to be delivered and
released to the Purchaser or to its designee, all documents (including without
limitation, the Mortgage Loans) required to be so delivered by the Purchaser
pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and
(d) All other terms and conditions of this Agreement to be complied
with by Seller, shall have been complied with.
Subject to the foregoing conditions, the Purchaser shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Seller on the Closing Date, against delivery and
release by the Seller to the Trustee of all documents required pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the consideration for the Mortgage Loans as
specified in Section 3 of this Agreement, by delivery to the Seller of the
Purchase Price in immediately available funds and delivery of the Long Beach
Certificates to Long Beach Asset Holdings Corp.

be subject to delivery of each of the following documents:
(a) An Officers' Certificate of the Seller, dated the Closing Date,
upon which the Purchaser, Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. and Deutsche Bank
Securities Inc. (together, Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. and Deutsche Bank

and the Guarantor may rely and attached thereto copies of the certificate of
incorporation, bylaws and certificate of good standing of the Seller under the
laws of the State of Delaware;
C-19
(b) An Officers' Certificate of the Seller, dated the Closing Date,
upon which the Purchaser, the Co-Representatives, the Certificate Insurer, if
any, and the Guarantor may rely, with respect to certain facts regarding the

(c) An Opinion of Counsel of the Seller (which may be in-house counsel
of the Seller), dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Purchaser, the
Co-Representatives, the Certificate Insurer, if any, and the Guarantor;
(d) Such opinions of counsel as the Rating Agencies, the
Co-Representatives, the Trustee, the Certificate Insurer, if any, or the
Guarantor may reasonably request in connection with the sale of the Mortgage
Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser or the Seller's execution and delivery of,
or performance under, this Agreement;
(e) A letter from Deloitte & Touche L.L.P., certified public
accountants, dated the date hereof and to the effect that they have performed
certain specified procedures as a result of which they determined that certain
information of an accounting, financial or statistical nature set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement under the captions "Summary of Terms--Mortgage Loans,"
"Risk Factors," "The Mortgage Pool," and "Long Beach Mortgage Company," agrees
with the records of the Seller;
(f) The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser for inclusion in the
Prospectus Supplement under the caption "Long Beach Mortgage Company" or for
inclusion in other offering materials, such publicly available information
regarding the Seller, its financial condition and its mortgage loan delinquency,
foreclosure and loss experience, underwriting standards, lending activities and
loan sales, production, and servicing and collection practices, and any similar
nonpublic, unaudited financial information and a computer tape with respect to
the pool information, as the Co-Representatives may reasonably request;
(g) Letters from at least two nationally recognized statistical rating
agencies rating the Offered Certificates (as defined in the Prospectus
Supplement); and
(h) Such further information, certificates, opinions and documents as
the Purchaser, the Guarantor or the Co-Representatives may reasonably request.
SECTION 10. Costs.
The Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Purchaser or any other
Person to the extent that the Purchaser or such other Person shall pay) all
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transfer and delivery of the
Mortgage Loans, including without limitation, recording fees, fees for title
policy endorsements and continuations and the fees for recording Assignments,
the fees and expenses of the Seller's in-house accountants and in-house
attorneys, the costs and expenses incurred in connection with determining the
Seller's loan loss, foreclosure and delinquency experience, the costs and
expenses incurred in connection with obtaining the documents referred to in
Sections 9(d) and 9(e), the cost of an opinion of counsel regarding the true
C-20
sale and non-consolidation of the Mortgage Loans, the costs and expenses of
printing (or otherwise reproducing) and delivering this Agreement, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates, the prospectus, the Prospectus
Supplement, the Information Supplement, any blue sky filings and private
placement memorandum relating to the Certificates and other related documents,
costs and expenses of the Trustee, the fees and expenses of the Purchaser's
counsel in connection with the preparation of all documents relating to the
securitization of the Mortgage Loans, the filing fee charged by the Securities
and Exchange Commission for registration of the Certificates, the cost of any
opinions of outside special counsel that may be required for the Seller and the
fees charged by any Rating Agency to rate the Certificates. All other costs and
expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be
borne by the party incurring such expense.
SECTION 11. Servicing.
The Seller has represented to the Purchaser that the Mortgage Loans are
being serviced in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, and it is understood and agreed by and between the Seller and the
Purchaser that any interim servicing arrangements with the Seller will be
superseded by the servicing arrangements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
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 Closing Date.
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 instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the
performance by the Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees
that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to (i)
the Purchaser's right, prior to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to
the extent permitted by this Agreement and (ii) the Purchaser's obligation to
deliver or 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. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance of the Mortgage Loans by
the Purchaser 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 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
C-21
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.
SECTION 13. Notices.
All demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed
by registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by telex or telegraph and
confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if to the Purchaser, addressed to the
Purchaser at 0000 Xxxxx Xxx., XXX0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: LBSC
Legal Counsel, or such other address as may hereafter be furnished to the Seller
in writing by the Purchaser; if to the Seller, addressed to the Seller at 0000
Xxxxx Xxx., XXX0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: LBMC Legal Counsel, or to
such other address as the Seller may designate in writing to the Purchaser.
SECTION 14. Severability of Provisions.
Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which
is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
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:
C-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 II-A Certificates and the Class II-S1 Certificates arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement, 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 Prospectus
Supplement 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
C-23
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, 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, other than in the Seller's
Prospectus Supplement 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
C-24
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
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
C-25
the Underwritten Certificates (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) 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 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). 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. [RESERVED]
SECTION 19. 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 20. 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
C-26
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
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, 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 21. Third Party Beneficiary.
Each of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificate
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
Co-Representatives, on behalf of 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.

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.

The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of ________________________, the

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
K-1
certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)

Agreement and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit L to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect
to the Certificate.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is _____________.
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be "noneconomic
residual interests" within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, if a significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the assessment
or collection of tax. The Transferee understands that, as the holder of a
noneconomic residual interest, the Transferee may incur tax liabilities in
excess of any cash flows generated by the Certificate. The Transferee intends to
pay taxes associated with holding the Certificate as they become due.
11. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to
ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor is it acting on
behalf of such a plan.

Policy (which includes the Endorsement attached hereto), hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably guarantees to the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of the
Insured Obligations, the full and complete payment by the Obligor of that
portion of the Scheduled Payments which shall become Due for Payment but shall
be unpaid by reason of Nonpayment (the "Insured Amount").
XLCA will pay the Insured Amount to the Trust Administrator upon the

In the event that any Scheduled Payment which has become Due for
Payment and which is made to an Owner by or on behalf of the Trustee is
recovered or is recoverable from the Owner pursuant to a final judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction in an Insolvency Proceeding that such payment
constitutes an Avoided Payment to such Owner within the meaning of any
applicable bankruptcy law, XLCA shall pay the amount of such recovery if
sufficient funds are not otherwise available.
This Policy sets forth in full the undertaking of XLCA and shall not be
cancelled, revoked, further endorsed or modified by XLCA for any reason,
including failure to receive payment of any premium due hereunder or under the
Insurance Agreement. The premium on this Policy is not refundable for any
reason. This Policy does not insure against loss of any prepayment or other
acceleration payment which at any time may become due in respect of any Insured
Obligation, other than at the sole option of XLCA, nor against any risk other
than Nonpayment, including any shortfalls, if any, attributable to the liability
of the Obligor for withholding taxes if any, including interest and penalties in
respect of such liability.
THIS POLICY IS NOT COVERED BY THE PROPERTY/CASUALTY INSURANCE SECURITY

any Insured Obligation as indicated in the registration books maintained by or
on behalf of the Obligor for such purpose or, if the Insured Obligation is in
bearer form, the holder of the Insured Obligation.

As used herein the term "Scheduled Payment" means for any
Distribution Date with respect to the Insured Obligations during the Term of
this Policy, (i) the Monthly Interest Distributable Amount due and payable in
respect of each class of Insured Obligations on such Distribution Date and (ii)

original terms of the Insured Obligations when issued and without regard to any
subsequent amendment or modification of the Insured Obligations or the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement that has not been consented to in writing by XLCA.
Payments which become due on an accelerated basis as a result of an optional
termination or any other cause do not constitute "Scheduled Payments," unless
XLCA elects, in its sole discretion, to pay such amounts in whole or in part (in
which event Scheduled Payments shall include such accelerated payments as, when
and to the extent so elected by XLCA). In the event that XLCA does not so elect,
XLCA shall continue to be required under the Policy to make Scheduled Payments
on the Insured Obligations in accordance with the original scheduled terms. In
addition, "Scheduled Payments" shall not include, nor shall coverage be provided
under the Policy in respect of, (i) any amounts due in respect of the Insured

As used herein the term "Scheduled Payment Deficiency" means

As used herein the term "Term of this Policy" means the period
from and including the Effective Date to and including the first date on which
(i) all Scheduled Payments have been paid that are required to be paid under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (ii) any period during which any Scheduled
Payment could have been avoided in whole or in part as a preference payment
under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law has
expired, and (iii) if any proceedings requisite to avoidance as a preference
payment have been commenced prior to the occurrence of (i) and (ii) above, a
final and nonappealable order in resolution of each such proceeding has been
entered.
To make a claim under the Policy, the Trust Administrator or
the Trustee shall deliver to XLCA Payment Notice in the form of Exhibit A hereto
(a "Payment Notice"), appropriately completed and executed by the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee. A Payment Notice under this Policy may be
presented to XLCA by (i) delivery of the original Payment Notice to XLCA at its
address set forth below, or (ii) facsimile transmission of the original Payment
Notice to XLCA at its facsimile number set forth below. If presentation is made
by facsimile transmission, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee shall (x)
simultaneously confirm transmission by telephone to XLCA at its telephone number
set forth below, and (y) as soon as reasonably practicable, deliver the original
Payment Notice to XLCA at its address set forth below. Any Payment Notice
received by XLCA after 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, or on
any day that is not a Business Day, will be deemed to be received by XLCA at
9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day.
Following receipt by XLCA of a Payment Notice from the Trust
Administrator, XLCA will unconditionally and irrevocably pay any amount payable
M-6
hereunder in respect of a Scheduled Payment Deficiency (other than a Scheduled
Payment Deficiency resulting from an Avoided Payment) out of the funds of XLCA
on the later to occur of (a) 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the first
Business Day following such receipt and (b) 12:00 noon, New York City time, on
the Distribution Date to which such Scheduled Payment Deficiency relates.
Payments due hereunder in respect of a Scheduled Payment Deficiency will be
disbursed by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Policy Payments
Account established pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or, if no
such Policy Payments Account has been established, to the Trust Administrator.
Subject to the foregoing, if the payment of any Scheduled
Payment is voided (a "Preference Event") as a result of an Insolvency Proceeding
and as a result of such Preference Event, the Owner is required to return such
voided payment, or any portion of such voided payment, made in respect of the
Insured Obligation (an "Avoided Payment"), XLCA will irrevocable, absolutely and
unconditionally pay an amount equal to the full and complete amount of such
Avoided Payment following receipt by XLCA from the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee on behalf of such Owner of (x) a certified copy of a final order of a
court exercising jurisdiction in such Insolvency Proceeding to the effect that
the Owner, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Owner is
required to return any such payment or portion thereof because such payment was
voided under applicable law (the "Final Order"), and an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to XLCA that such order is final and not subject to appeal, (y) an
assignment, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, properly
completed and executed by such Owner irrevocably assigning to XLCA all rights
and claims of such Owner relating to or arising under such Avoided Payment and
(z) a Payment Notice in the form of Exhibit A hereto appropriately completed and
executed by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator.
XLCA shall make payments due in respect of Avoided Payments
prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the fourth Business Day following
XLCA's receipt of the documents required under clauses (x) through (z) of the
preceding paragraph. Any such documents received by XLCA after 10:00 a.m. New
York City time on any Business Day or on any day that is not a Business Day
shall be deemed to have been received by XLCA at 9:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the next succeeding Business Day. Such payments shall be disbursed to the
receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in
the Final Order and not to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or any Owner
directly (unless an Owner has provided evidence satisfactory to XLCA that it has
previously paid such amount to the receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession
or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order, in which case such payment
shall be disbursed to the Trust Administrator.)
No defenses, set-offs or counterclaims of any kind available
to XLCA so as to deny payment of any amount due in respect of this Policy in
accordance with the express provisions of the Policy will be valid and XLCA
hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law for the benefit of each
Owner and agrees not to assert any and all such defenses (including, without
limitation, defenses based on fraud and defenses based on suretyship), set-offs
and counterclaims, including, without limitation, any such rights acquired by
subrogation, assignment or otherwise. Upon any payment hereunder, in furtherance
and not in limitation of XLCA's equitable right of subrogation and XLCA's rights
under the Insurance Agreement, XLCA will be subrogated to the rights of the
Owner in respect of which such payment was made to receive any and all amounts
due in respect of the obligations in respect of which XLCA has made a payment
hereunder. Any rights of subrogation acquired by XLCA as a result of any payment
made under this Policy shall, in all respects, be subordinate and junior in
right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of any amounts due
the Owner on account of payments due under the Insured Obligation.
