This
TRUST AGREEMENT, dated as of January 1, 2007 (the “Agreement”), is by and among
STRUCTURED ASSET SECURITIES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as depositor
(the “Depositor”), XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), AURORA
LOAN SERVICES LLC, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and XXXXXXX FIXED
INCOME SERVICES INC., as credit risk manager (the “Credit Risk
Manager”).
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
The
Depositor has acquired the Mortgage Loans from the Seller, and at the Closing
Date is the owner of the Mortgage Loans and the other property being conveyed
by
it to the Trustee hereunder for inclusion in the Trust Fund. On the Closing
Date, the Depositor will acquire the Certificates from the Trust Fund, as
consideration for its transfer to the Trust Fund of the Mortgage Loans and
the
other property constituting the Trust Fund. The Depositor has duly authorized
the execution and delivery of this Agreement to provide for the conveyance
to
the Trustee of the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust
Fund. All covenants and agreements made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan
Sale
Agreement and by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee herein
with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and the other property constituting the Trust
Fund
are for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Certificates and,
to
the extent provided herein, any NIMS Insurer, the Cap Counterparty and the
Swap
Counterparty. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Credit
Risk Manager are entering into this Agreement, and the Trustee is accepting
the
Trust Fund created hereby, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.
As
provided herein, an election shall be made that the Trust Fund (exclusive of
(i)
the Swap Agreement, (ii) the Swap Account, (iii) the right to receive and the
obligation to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls, (iv)
the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, (v) the Supplemental Interest Trust, (vi) the
right
to receive FPD Premiums and PPTL Premiums, (vii) the obligation to pay Class
I
Shortfalls, (viii) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ix) the Interest Rate
Cap Account and (x) the Collateral Account (collectively, the “Excluded Trust
Assets”)) be treated for federal income tax purposes as comprising four real
estate mortgage investment conduits under Section 860D of the Code (each a
“REMIC” or, in the alternative “REMIC 1,” “REMIC 2,” “REMIC 3,” and “REMIC 4”
(REMIC 4 also being referred to as the “Upper Tier REMIC”)). Any inconsistencies
or ambiguities in this Agreement or in the administration of this Agreement
shall be resolved in a manner that preserves the validity of such REMIC
elections.
Each
Certificate, other than the Class R and Class LT-R Certificates, represents
ownership of a regular interest in the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions. In addition, each Certificate, other than the Class R, Class
LT-R, Class X and Class P Certificates, represents (i) the right to receive
payments with respect to any Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk
Shortfalls and (ii) the obligation to pay Class I Shortfalls. The Class LT-R
Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual interest in
REMIC
1. The Class R Certificate represents ownership of the sole Class of residual
interest in each of REMIC 2, REMIC 3, and the Upper Tier REMIC for purposes
of
the REMIC Provisions.
The
Upper
Tier REMIC shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Lower Tier Interests
in
REMIC 3, other than the Class LT3-R interest, and each such Lower Tier Interest
is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 3 for purposes of the REMIC
Provisions. REMIC 3 shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Lower Tier
Interests in REMIC 2, other than the Class LT2-R interest, and each such Lower
Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in REMIC 2. REMIC
2
shall hold as its assets the uncertificated Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1,
and
each such Lower Tier Interest is hereby designated as a regular interest in
REMIC 1. REMIC 1 shall hold as its assets the property of the Trust Fund other
than the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1, REMIC 2, and REMIC 3 and the Excluded
Trust Assets.
The
startup day for each REMIC created hereby for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
is the Closing Date. In addition, for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the
latest possible maturity date for each regular interest in each REMIC created
hereby is the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
REMIC
1:
REMIC
1
shall issue one uncertificated interest in respect of each Mortgage Loan held
by
the Trust Fund on the Closing Date, each of which is hereby designated as a
regular interest in REMIC 1 (the “REMIC 1 Regular Interests”). REMIC 1 shall
also issue the Class LT-R Certificate, which shall represent the sole class
of
residual interest in REMIC 1. Each REMIC 1 Regular Interest shall have an
initial principal balance equal to the Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loan to which it relates and shall bear interest at a per annum rate
equal to the Net Mortgage Rate of such Mortgage Loan. In the event a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for such Mortgage Loan (the “Original
Mortgage Loan”), no amount of interest payable on such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan shall be distributed on such REMIC 1 Regular Interest at a rate
in
excess of the Net Mortgage Rate of the Original Mortgage Loan.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall first pay or charge as an expense of REMIC
1 all expenses of the Trust Fund for such Distribution Date, other than any
expenses in respect of the Swap Agreement.
On
each
Distribution Date the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Interest Remittance
Amount (net of expenses described in the preceding paragraph) with respect
to
each of the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 based on the above-described
interest rates.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Principal
Remittance Amount among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1 in accordance with
the amount of the Principal Remittance Amount attributable to the Mortgage
Loan
corresponding to each such Lower Tier Interest in REMIC 1. All losses on the
Mortgage Loans shall be allocated among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 1
in
the same manner that principal distributions are allocated.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Prepayment Premiums
collected during the preceding Prepayment Period to the Lower Tier Interest
in
REMIC 1 corresponding to the Mortgage Loan with respect to which such amounts
were received.

The
following table sets forth the designations, principal balances and interest
rates for each interest in REMIC 2, each of which (other than the Class LT2-R

For
any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest
rate
for the Class LT2-A Interest shall be the Net WAC Rate.
|
|
(2)
|
For
any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest
rate
for each of these Lower Tier Interests shall be the lesser of (i)
the
REMIC Swap Rate for such Distribution Date, and (ii) the product
of (a)
the Net WAC Rate and (b) 2.

|
For
any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest
rate
for each of these Lower Tier Interests shall be the excess, if any,
of (i)
the product of (a) the Net WAC Rate and (b) 2, over (ii) the REMIC
Swap
Rate for such Distribution Date.

The
Class LT2-R interest shall not have a principal amount and shall
not bear
interest. The Class LT2-R interest is hereby designated as the sole
class
of residual interest in REMIC 2.

On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Interest
Remittance Amount for the two Mortgage Pools (net of the expenses paid by REMIC
1) with respect to each of the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 based on the
above-described interest rates.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the aggregate Principal
Remittance Amount with respect to the two Mortgage Pools with respect to the
Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2, first to the Class LT2-A Interest until its
principal balance is reduced to zero, and then sequentially, to the other Lower
Tier Interests in REMIC 2 in ascending order of their numerical class
designation, and, with respect to each pair of classes having the same numerical
designation, in equal amounts to each such class, until the principal balance
of
each such class is reduced to zero. All losses on the Mortgage Loans shall
be
allocated among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 2 in the same manner that
principal distributions are allocated.

On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Prepayment Premiums
collected during the preceding Prepayment Period to the Class LT2-F71 Lower
Tier
Interest.

For
any Distribution Date (and the related Accrual Period) the interest
rate
for each of these Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 3 is a per annum
rate
equal to the weighted average of the interest rates on the Lower
Tier

On
each
Distribution Date, interest shall be distributed on the Lower Tier Interests
in
REMIC 3 based on the above-described interest rates,
provided,
however,
that
interest that accrues on the Class LT3-Q Interest shall be deferred in an amount
equal to one-half of the increase, if any, in the Overcollateralization Amount
for such Distribution Date. Any interest so deferred shall itself bear interest
at the interest rate for the Class LT3-Q Interest. An amount equal to the
interest so deferred shall be distributed as additional principal on the other
Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 3 having a principal balance in the manner
described under priority (a) below.
On
each
Distribution Date principal shall be distributed, and Realized Losses shall
be
allocated, among the Lower Tier Interests in REMIC 3 in the following order
of
priority:
(a)
First, to the Class LT3-A1, Class LT3-A2, Class LT3-A3, Class LT3-A4, Class
LT3-A5, Class LT3-A6, Class LT3-M1, Class LT3-M2, Class LT3-M3, Class

Class LT3-B1, Class LT3-B2, and Class LT3-P Interests until the principal
balance of each such Lower Tier Interest equals one-half of the Class Principal
Amount of the Corresponding Class of Certificates immediately after such
Distribution Date; and
(b)
Second, to the Class LT3-Q Interest, any remaining amounts.
On
each
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be deemed to have distributed the
Prepayment Premiums passed through with respect to the Class LT2-F71 Lower
Tier
Interest in REMIC 2 on such Distribution Date to the Class LT3-Q
Interest.

for one-month United States dollar deposits, as such rates appear on the

Date.
(b) If
on

appear on the Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London time), or if the

rate first
from
Reuters’ “page LIBOR 01,” or if such page is not available, then from
Bloomberg’s page “BBAM.” If any such rate is not published for such LIBOR
Determination Date, LIBOR for such date will be the most recently published
Interest Settlement Rate. In the event that the BBA no longer sets an Interest
Settlement Rate, the Trustee will designate an alternative index that has
performed, or that the Trustee expects to perform, in a manner substantially
similar to the BBA’s Interest Settlement Rate. The Trustee will select a
particular index as the alternative index only if it receives an Opinion of
Counsel (a copy of which shall be furnished to the Trustee and any NIMS
Insurer), which opinion shall be an expense reimbursed from the Certificate
Account pursuant to Section 4.04, that the selection of such index will not
cause any of the REMICs to lose their classification as REMICs for federal
income tax purposes.

of the Certificate Interest Rate applicable to the LIBOR Certificates for the
relevant Accrual Period, in the absence of manifest error, will be final and

the Classes of LIBOR Certificates based on the product of (i) 97.00% and (ii)
the fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the aggregate
Class Principal Amount of all Certificates of that Class then outstanding and
the denominator of which is the aggregate Class Principal Amount of all
Certificates then outstanding. At all times during the term of this Agreement,
1% of all Voting Interests shall be allocated to each of the Class P, Class
R
and Class X Certificates while they remain outstanding. Voting Interests shall
be allocated among the other Classes of Certificates (and among the Certificates
within each such Class) in proportion to their Class Principal Amounts (or
Certificate Principal Amounts) or Percentage Interests. In the case of the
purchase by the Master Servicer of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular
Interests pursuant to a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event, the LTURI-holder shall
be allocated 100% of the Voting Interests and upon such purchase any provision
in this Agreement which requires a vote by, a direction or notice given by,
an
action taken by, a request in writing by or the consent of, any percentage
of
the Holders of the Certificates or any Class of Certificates may be exercised
by
the LTURI-holder.

the

Mortgages.
(c) i) Assignments
of Mortgage with respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative
Loan shall be recorded; provided,
however,
that
such Assignments need not be recorded if, on or prior to the Closing Date,
the
Depositor delivers, at its own expense, an Opinion of Counsel addressed to
the

notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, the Master Servicer
shall direct the applicable Servicer to submit each Assignment of Mortgage
for
recording upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure

applicable recording office), the Master Servicer, at the expense of the
Depositor and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall direct
to
be properly recorded by each Servicer in each public recording office where
the
related Mortgages are recorded each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in
subsection (b)(v) above with respect to each Non-MERS Mortgage Loan.
(ii) With
respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall direct the
applicable Servicer, at the expense of the Depositor, to take such actions
as
are necessary to cause the Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of
each
such Mortgage Loan on the records of MERS for purposes of the system of
recording transfers of beneficial ownership of mortgages maintained by MERS.
With respect to each Cooperative Loan, the Master Servicer, at the expense
of
the Depositor and with the cooperation of the applicable Servicer, shall direct
such Servicer to take such actions as are necessary under applicable law in
order to perfect the interest of the Trustee in the related Mortgaged
Property.

instances where a Title Insurance Policy is required to be delivered to the
Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee under clause
(b)(vii) above and is not so delivered, the Depositor will provide a copy of
such Title Insurance Policy to the Trustee, or to the applicable Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee, as promptly as practicable after the execution and
delivery hereof, but in any case within 180 days of the Closing
Date.
(e) For
Mortgage Loans (if any) that have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date
and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above
documents, herewith delivers to any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, or to the
applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate which
shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection
with such prepayment that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 4.01 have been so deposited. All original documents that
are
not delivered to the Trustee or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee shall be held by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer in
trust
for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.

2.02.

Acceptance
of Trust Fund by Trustee: Review of Documentation for Trust Fund.
|
(a) The
Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt by it or by
the
applicable Custodian on its behalf of the Mortgage Files pertaining to the
Mortgage Loans listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, subject to review thereof
by the Trustee, or by the applicable Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, under
this Section 2.02. The Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee, will execute and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and any NIMS Insurer on the Closing Date an Initial Certification in
the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-1 (or in the form annexed to the Custodial
Agreements as Exhibit B-1, as applicable).
(b) Within
45
days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodians on behalf of the
Trustee, will, for the benefit of Holders of the Certificates, review each
Mortgage File to ascertain that all required documents set forth in Section
2.01
have been received and appear on their face to contain the requisite signatures
by or on behalf of the respective parties thereto, and shall deliver to the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer an Interim
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B-2 (or in the form annexed
to the Custodial Agreement as Exhibit B-2, as applicable) to the effect that,
as
to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any
Mortgage Loan prepaid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified
in
such certification as not covered by such certification), (i) all of the
applicable documents specified in Section 2.01(b) are in its possession and
(ii)
such documents have been reviewed by it and appear to relate to such Mortgage
Loan. The Trustee, or the Custodians on behalf of the Trustee, shall determine
whether such documents are executed and endorsed, but shall be under no duty
or
obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that the same are valid, binding,
legally effective, properly endorsed, genuine, enforceable or appropriate for
the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or are in
recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on their
face. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodians shall have any responsibility
for
verifying the genuineness or the legal effectiveness of or authority for any
signatures of or on behalf of any party or endorser.
(c) If
in the
course of the review described in paragraph (b) above the Trustee or the
applicable Custodian discovers any document or documents constituting a part
of
a Mortgage File that is missing, does not appear regular on its face
(i.e.,
is
mutilated, damaged, defaced, torn or otherwise physically altered) or appears
to
be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(each, a “Material Defect”), the Trustee, or the applicable Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee, discovering such Material Defect shall promptly identify the
Mortgage Loan to which such Material Defect relates in the Interim Certification
delivered to the Depositor and the Master Servicer. Within 90 days of its
receipt of such notice, the Transferor, or, if the Transferor does not do so,
the Depositor shall be required to cure such Material Defect (and, in such
event, the Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate
confirming that such cure has been effected). If the Transferor or the
Depositor, as applicable, does not so cure such Material Defect, the Transferor,
or, if the Transferor does not do so, the Depositor, shall, if a loss has been
incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan that would, if such Mortgage Loan
were not purchased from the Trust Fund, constitute a Realized Loss, and such
loss is attributable to the failure of the Depositor to cure such Material
Defect, repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase
Price. A loss shall be deemed to be attributable to the failure of the Depositor
to cure a Material Defect if, as determined by the Depositor, upon mutual
agreement with the Trustee each acting in good faith, absent such Material
Defect, such loss would not have been incurred. Within the two-year period
following the Closing Date, the Depositor may, in lieu of repurchasing a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.02, substitute for such Mortgage Loan
a
Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan subject to the provisions of Section 2.05.
The failure of the Trustee or the applicable Custodian to give the notice
contemplated herein within 45 days after the Closing Date shall not affect
or
relieve the Depositor of its obligation to repurchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Section 2.02 or any other Section of this Agreement requiring the
repurchase of Mortgage Loans from the Trust Fund.
67
(d) Within
180 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee, or the Custodians, shall
deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer
a Final Certification substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-3 (or
in
the form annexed to the Custodial Agreements as Exhibit B-3, as applicable)
evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files in its possession or control,
with any exceptions noted thereto.
(e) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute an assumption by the Trust
Fund, the Trustee, any Custodian or the Certificateholders of any unsatisfied
duty, claim or other liability on any Mortgage Loan or to any
Mortgagor.
(f) Each
of
the parties hereto acknowledges that the Custodians shall perform the applicable
review of the Mortgage Loans and respective certifications thereof as provided
in this Section 2.02 and the Custodial Agreements. The Trustee, solely in its
capacity as Trustee hereunder, is hereby authorized and directed by the
Depositor to appoint the Custodians and to execute and deliver the Custodial
Agreements.
(g) Upon
execution of this Agreement, the Depositor hereby delivers to the Trustee and
the Trustee acknowledges a receipt of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, each
Servicing Agreement and the Bulk PMI Policies. The Depositor hereby directs
the
Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, to execute and deliver,
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Bulk PMI
Policies and each Servicing Agreement to which the Trustee is a
party.

incorporation or bylaws of the Depositor;
68
(iii) the

consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require the consent
or approval of, the giving of notice to, the registration with, or the taking
of
any other action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental
authority or agency, except such as has been obtained, given, effected or taken
prior to the date hereof;
(iv) this
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Depositor and, assuming

the
Depositor was the sole owner of record and holder of each Mortgage Loan, and
the
Depositor had good and marketable title thereto, and had full right to transfer

condition or event with respect to a Mortgage Loan constitutes a breach of
both
(i) a representation or warranty of the applicable Transferor under the
applicable Transfer Agreement and (ii) a representation or warranty of the
Seller under the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, the only right or remedy of
the
Trustee, any Certificateholder or any NIMS Insurer hereunder shall be their

a
breach of a representation or warranty made by the applicable Transferor in
the
applicable Transfer Agreement, without regard to whether such Transferor
fulfills its contractual obligations in respect of such representation or
warranty. The Trustee further acknowledges that the Depositor shall have no
obligation or liability with respect to any breach of any representation or
warranty with respect to the Mortgage Loans (except as set forth in Section
2.03(a)(vi)) under any circumstances.

the
Depositor pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement and assigned to the
Trustee by the Depositor hereunder, shall each survive delivery of the Mortgage

representations and warranties that adversely and materially affects the value
of the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give
prompt written notice to the other parties; provided, to the extent that
knowledge of such breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan is known by any

of
the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement the Seller will, in exchange for such
substitute mortgage loan, (i) pay to the Trust Fund the applicable Purchase
Price for the affected Mortgage Loan or (ii) within two years of the

(excluding any FPD Premium) or PPTL Purchase Price (excluding any PPTL Premium),
as applicable, shall be deposited in the Certificate Account. The Trustee (i)
upon receipt of the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage
Loan, (ii) upon receipt of a written certification from the Master Servicer
that
it has received the full amount of the Purchase Price for a Deleted Mortgage
Loan and has deposited such amount in the Collection Account or (iii) upon
receipt of notification from the applicable Custodian that it had received
the
Mortgage File for a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan substituted for a
Deleted Mortgage Loan (and any applicable Substitution Amount), shall release
or
cause to be released and reassign to the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable,
the related Mortgage File for the Deleted Mortgage Loan and shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in such
party or its designee or assignee title to any Deleted Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens and other
encumbrances created by this Agreement, which instruments shall be prepared
by
the related Servicer and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with
respect to the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Seller
indemnifies and holds the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the
Depositor, and NIMS Insurer and each Certificateholder harmless against any
and
all taxes, claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal
fees
and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that the
Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, any NIMS Insurer
and any Certificateholder may sustain in connection with any actions of such
Seller relating to a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan other than in compliance
with
the terms of this Section 2.05 and the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, to the
extent that any such action causes an Adverse REMIC Event.
71
(b) With
respect to each Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan to be delivered to the
Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) pursuant to the terms of this Article
II
in exchange for a Deleted Mortgage Loan: (i) the Depositor, the Transferor
or
the Seller, as applicable, must deliver to the Trustee (or the applicable
Custodian) the Mortgage File for the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan
containing the documents set forth in Section 2.01(b) along with a written
certification certifying as to the delivery of such Mortgage File and containing
granting language substantially comparable to that set forth in the first
paragraph of Section 2.01(a); and (ii) the Depositor will be deemed to have
made, with respect to such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan, each of the
representations and warranties made by it with respect to the related Deleted
Mortgage Loan. As soon as practicable after the delivery of any Qualifying
Substitute Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Master Servicer, at the expense of
the
Depositor and at the direction and with the cooperation of the applicable
Servicer, shall (i) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan
that is a Non-MERS Mortgage Loan, cause the Assignment of Mortgage to be
recorded by the applicable Servicer if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c),
or
(ii) with respect to a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan that is a MERS
Mortgage Loan, cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to cause the
Trustee to be clearly identified as the owner of each such Mortgage Loan on
the
records of MERS if required pursuant to Section 2.01(c).
(c) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the right to substitute Mortgage Loans
pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the additional limitations
that
no substitution of a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage
Loan shall be made unless the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer has received an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking
to make the substitution) that, under current law, such substitution will not
cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

Section
2.06.
|
Grant
Clause.
|
(a) It
is
intended that the conveyance of the Depositor’s right, title and interest in and
to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement shall
constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property and not a grant
of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such conveyance is deemed
to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the rights and obligations
of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
(2)
the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of
the
Certificates a first priority security interest to secure repayment of an
obligation in an amount equal to the aggregate Class Principal Amount of the
Certificates (or the aggregate principal balance of the Lower Tier REMIC 1
Uncertificated Regular Interests, if applicable) in all of the Depositor’s
right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, the Trust Fund, the Supplemental Interest Trust and all proceeds
of
any and all property constituting the Trust Fund and the Supplemental Interest
Trust to secure payment of the Certificates or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated
Regular Interests, as applicable (such security interest being, to the extent
of
the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, pari
passu
with the
security interest as provided in clause (4) below); (3) this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law; and (4) the Swap
Counterparty shall be deemed, during the term of such agreement and while such
agreement is the property of the Trustee, to have a security interest in all
of
the assets that constitute the Supplemental Interest Trust, but only to the
extent of such Swap Counterparty’s right to payment under the Swap Agreement
(such security interest being pari
passu
with the
security interest as provided in clause (2) above). If such conveyance is deemed
to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by this Agreement terminates
prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person holding any Certificate
or
Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, as applicable, the security
interest created hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee
shall be deemed to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person,
and
all proceeds shall be distributed as herein provided.
72
(b) The
Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were
deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and the other
property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and shall
be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor shall,
at its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and
shall forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for
filing, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the
Depositor, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original
filings necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee’s security
interest in or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x)
continuation statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned
by
(1) any change of name of the Seller, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any
change of location of the jurisdiction of organization of the Seller or the
Depositor, (3) any transfer of any interest of the Seller or the Depositor
in
any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other applicable
laws. Neither the Seller nor the Depositor shall organize under the law of
any
jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized as of the
Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or organizing
under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior written notice
of
such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee, including the Trustee.
Before effecting such change, the Seller or the Depositor proposing to change
its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and file in the appropriate
filing office any financing statements or other statements necessary to continue
the perfection of the interests of its immediate and intermediate transferees,
including the Trustee, in the Mortgage Loans. In connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Seller and the
Depositor authorizes its immediate or intermediate transferee to file in any
filing office any initial financing statements, any amendments to financing
statements, any continuation statements, or any other statements or filings
described in this paragraph (b).

|
(a) The
Certificates shall be issuable in registered form only and shall be securities
governed by Article 8 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code. The Book-Entry
Certificates will be evidenced by one or more certificates, beneficial ownership
of which will be held in the dollar denominations in Certificate Principal
Amount, or in the Percentage Interests, specified herein. Each Class of
Book-Entry Certificates will be issued in the minimum denominations in
Certificate Principal Amount specified in the Preliminary Statement hereto
and
in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class P and Class X
Certificates shall each be maintained in definitive, fully registered form

the
Percentage Interest of such Class. The Certificates may be issued in the form of
typewritten certificates.
73
(b) The
Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of
the
Trustee by an authorized officer. Each Certificate shall, on original issue,
be
authenticated by the Trustee upon the order of the Depositor upon receipt by
the
Trustee (or the applicable Custodian) of the Mortgage Files described in Section
2.01. 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 for herein, executed by
an
authorized officer of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, if any, by manual
signature, and such certification upon any Certificate 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. At any time and from time to time after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the Depositor may deliver Certificates executed
by the Depositor to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for authentication
and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver
such
Certificates as in this Agreement provided and not otherwise.
(c) The
Class

under Rule 144A under the Securities Act shall be issued initially in the form
of one or more permanent global Certificates in definitive, fully registered
form without interest coupons with the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit
A
added to the forms of such Certificates (each, a “Restricted Global Security”),
which shall be deposited on behalf of the subscribers for such Certificates
represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for The Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC, duly executed
and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate
principal amounts of the Restricted Global Securities may from time to time
be
increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee or
DTC
or its nominee, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided.
(d) The
Class
B Certificates sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall
be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Certificates
in
definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons with the applicable
legends set forth in Exhibit A hereto added to the forms of such Certificates
(each, a “Regulation S Global Security”), which shall be deposited on behalf of
the subscribers for such Certificates represented thereby with the Trustee,
as
custodian for DTC and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC, duly executed
and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate
principal amounts of the Regulation S Global Securities may from time to time
be
increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee or
DTC
or its nominee, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided.
(e) The
Class
B Certificates sold to an “accredited investor” under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3)
or (7) under the Securities Act shall be issued initially in the form of one
or
more Definitive Certificates.

Section
3.02.
|
Registration.
|
The
Trustee is hereby appointed, and hereby accepts its appointment as, Certificate
Registrar in respect of the Certificates (and, after a Section 7.01(c) Purchase
Event, the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests) and shall
maintain books for the registration and for the transfer of Certificates (and,
after a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event, the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated
Regular Interests) (the “Certificate Register”). The Trustee may appoint a bank
or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar. A registration book shall
be
maintained for the Certificates (and Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular
Interests, as the case may be) collectively. The Certificate Registrar may
resign or be discharged or removed and a new successor may be appointed in
accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Sections 6.06
and
6.07 hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal of the Trustee
and the appointment of a successor Trustee. The Certificate Registrar may
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Holders, any NIMS Insurer
and
the Master Servicer, any bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under
such
conditions as the Certificate Registrar may prescribe; provided,
however,
that the
Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.
Upon
the
occurrence of a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event, the Master Servicer shall
provide the Trustee with written notice of the identity of any transferee of
the
Master Servicer’s interest in the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular
Interests, which notice shall contain a certification that such transferee
is a
permitted LTURI-holder hereunder. The Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular
Interests may only be transferred in whole and not in part to no more than
one
LTURI-holder at a time who is either (1) an affiliate of the Master Servicer
or
(2) a trustee of a privately placed securitization. The Trustee and the
Depositor shall treat the Person in whose name the Lower Tier REMIC 1
Uncertificated Regular Interests are registered on the books of the Certificate
Registrar as the LTURI-holder for all purposes hereunder.
|
Section
3.03.
|
Transfer
and Exchange of Certificates.
|
(a) A
Certificate (other than a Book-Entry Certificate which shall be subject to
Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only upon
presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate
Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by such
Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be satisfactory
to
the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate in accordance
with the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or
any
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one
or
more new Certificates of the same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the
same aggregate Certificate Principal Amount or Percentage Interest as the
Certificate being transferred. No service charge shall be made to a
Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of Certificates, but the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax
or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
of transfer of Certificates.
(b) A
Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of new
Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in
the
aggregate the same Certificate Principal Amount or Percentage Interest as the
Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged
at
the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly
authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the
same
obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the
Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder
for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may
be
imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, and
the
Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, date and deliver the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.
75
(c) By
acceptance of a Restricted Certificate or a Regulation S Global Security,
whether upon original issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such
a
Certificate acknowledges the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate
set forth thereon and agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only
as
provided herein. In addition, each Holder of a Regulation S Global Security
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar and any of their respective successors that: (i) such
Person is not a U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S and was, at
the
time the buy order was originated, outside the United States and (ii) such
Person understands that such Certificates have not been registered under the
Securities Act, and that (x) until the expiration of the 40-day distribution
compliance period (within the meaning of Regulation S), no offer, sale, pledge
or other transfer of such Certificates or any interest therein shall be made
in
the United States or to or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (each
as
defined in Regulation S), (y) if in the future it decides to offer, resell,
pledge or otherwise transfer such Certificates, such Certificates may be
offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) to a person which
the
seller reasonably believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, that is purchasing such
Certificates for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional
buyer to which notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance
on
Rule 144A or (B) in an offshore transaction (as defined in Regulation S) in
compliance with the provisions of Regulation S, in each case in compliance
with
the requirements of this Agreement; and it will notify such transferee of the
transfer restrictions specified in this Section.
The
following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and registration
of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes delivery
in
the form of a Definitive Certificate:
(i) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor or the Placement Agent, an
affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the Depositor
or
the Placement Agent or (y) being made to a “qualified institutional buyer” (a
“QIB”) as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act by a transferor that has
provided the Trustee with a certificate in the form of Exhibit F hereto;
and
(ii) The
Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a Restricted Certificate
if
the requested transfer is being made to an “accredited investor” under Rule
501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act, or to any Person all of
the
equity owners in which are such accredited investors, by a transferor who
furnishes to the Trustee a letter of the transferee substantially in the form
of
Exhibit G hereto.
76
(d) (i)
No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a Definitive
Certificate shall be made to any Person unless the Trustee has received (A)
a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (or Exhibit D-1,
in
the case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) an Opinion
of
Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that the purchase and holding
of such a Certificate will not constitute or result in prohibited transactions
under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Servicer, any NIMS Insurer or the Depositor
to
any obligation in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement; provided,
however,
that the
Trustee will not require such certificate or opinion in the event that, as
a
result of a change of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Trustee,
has
rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate by a Plan or a Person that is purchasing or holding
such a Certificate with the assets of a Plan will not constitute or result
in a
prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.
Each
Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in Exhibit H. The
preparation and delivery of the certificate and opinions referred to above
shall
not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any
NIMS
Insurer or the Depositor.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required for the initial
issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. The Trustee shall have no
obligation to monitor transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are
ERISA-Restricted Certificates and shall have no liability for transfers of
such
Certificates in violation of the transfer restrictions. The Trustee shall be
under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
3.03(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof
or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions
of
this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in
accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Trustee shall be entitled,
but
not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on behalf of any such Plan any
payments made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and after either such
time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered
by the Trustee to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not
such
a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.
(ii) No
transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate shall be made prior to the
termination of the Swap Agreement and the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, unless
the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the transferee
of
such Certificate, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit H, to the
effect that either (i) such transferee is neither a Plan nor a Person acting
on
behalf of any such Plan or using the assets of any such Plan to effect such
transfer or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the ERISA-Restricted Trust
Certificate are eligible for exemptive relief under the statutory exemption
for
nonfiduciary service providers under Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section
4975(d)(20) of the Code, Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14,
PTXX 00-0, XXXX 00-00, XXXX 05-60 or PTCE 96-23 or some other applicable
exemption. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, prior to the
termination of the Swap Agreement and the Interest Rate Cap Agreement any
purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate on behalf of a
Plan
without the delivery to the Trustee of a representation letter as described
above shall be void and of no effect. If the ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate
is a Book-Entry Certificate, prior to the termination of the Swap Agreement
and
the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the transferee will be deemed to have made
a
representation as provided in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, as
applicable.
77
If
any
ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or any interest therein, is acquired or
held
in violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph, 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 an
ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate, or interest therein, was effected in
violation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall indemnify to the
extent permitted by law and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee, any NIMS
Insurer and the Master Servicer from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such
acquisition or holding.
To
the
extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA),
the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration
of
transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Trust Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by this Section 3.03(d)(ii) or for making any payments due on such Certificate
to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered
by
the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(e) As
a
condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any Certificate, the
Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer identification number
of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith; provided,
however,
that the
Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to require such payment or to
determine whether or not any such tax or charge may be applicable. No service
charge shall be made to the Certificateholder for any registration, transfer
or
exchange of a Certificate.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual Certificate may be owned,
pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or to (i) a Disqualified
Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or partnership or other person
unless such person is (A) not a Non-U.S. Person or (B) is a Non-U.S. Person
that
holds a Residual Certificate in connection with the conduct of a trade or
business within the United States and has furnished the transferor and the
Trustee with an effective Internal Revenue Service W-8ECI or successor form
at
the time and in the manner required by the Code (any such person who is not
covered by clause (A) or (B) above is referred to herein as a “Non-permitted
Foreign Holder”).
Prior
to
and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver
to
the Trustee or Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 representing and warranting, among other things,
that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee
acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-Permitted Foreign
Holder (any such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”), and the proposed
transferor shall deliver to the Trustee an affidavit in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D-2. In addition, the Trustee may (but shall have
no
obligation to) require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the
delivery by the proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee satisfactory
in
form and substance to the Depositor, that such proposed transferee or, if the
proposed transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner,
is
not a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a Non-Permitted
Foreign Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register
of
any transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a
Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-Permitted Foreign
Holder, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect
whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or
Non-Permitted Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder
for
any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of
distributions on such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall not be under
any
liability to any person for any registration or transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the maturity of any payments due on such
Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as the
transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge at the time
of
such transfer or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee
is
a Disqualified Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted
Foreign Holder. The Trustee shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover
from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization,
agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became
a Holder or any subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent
or
nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such
Residual Certificate at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses,
including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith).
Any payment (not including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the
Trustee shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such
Residual Certificate.
78
If
any
purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual Certificate
in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon receipt of
written notice to the Trustee or Certificate Registrar that the registration
of
transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted by this Section
3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights
as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such registration of transfer
of
such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person
for any registration of transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact
not
permitted by this Section 3.03(f), for making any payment due on such
Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other action
with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in the preceding
paragraph of this Section 3.03(f).
(g) Each
Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate, ERISA-Restricted
Certificate or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein, by such Holder’s or
Owner’s acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented
to the provisions of this section.
(h) Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Security representing
any Class B Certificate remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of
DTC,
transfers of a Global Security representing any such Certificates, in whole
or
in part, shall only be made in accordance with Section 3.01 and this Section
3.03(h).
79
(A) Subject
to clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 3.03(h), transfers of a Global Security
representing any Class B Certificate shall be limited to transfers of such
Global Security, in whole or in part, to nominees of DTC or to a successor
of
DTC or such successor’s nominee.
(B) Restricted
Global Security to Regulation S Global Security.
If a
holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security deposited with
or on behalf of DTC wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such
Restricted Global Security for an interest in a Regulation S Global Security,
or
to transfer its interest in such Restricted Global Security to a Person who
wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Regulation
S
Global Security, such holder, provided such holder is not a U.S. person, may,
subject to the rules and procedures of DTC, exchange or cause the exchange
of
such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global
Security. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, of (I)
instructions from DTC directing the Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, to be
credited a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Security in an amount
equal to the beneficial interest in such Restricted Global Security to be
exchanged but not less than the minimum denomination applicable to such holder’s
Certificates held through a Regulation S Global Security, (II) a written order
given in accordance with DTC’s procedures containing information regarding the
participant account of DTC and, in the case of a transfer pursuant to and in
accordance with Regulation S, the Euroclear or Clearstream account to be
credited with such increase and (III) a certificate in the form of Exhibit

Trustee, as Certificate Registrar, shall reduce the principal amount of the
Restricted Global Security and increase the principal amount of the Regulation

in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent

the
Paying Agent is not the Trustee, the Trustee shall cause to be remitted to
the
Paying Agent on or before the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date,
by
wire transfer in immediately available funds, the funds to be distributed on
such Distribution Date. Any Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company

(b) Any
Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall comply with its reporting
obligations under Regulation AB with respect to the Trust Fund in form and
substance similar to those of the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.20 and Section
9.25, and the related assessment of compliance and attestation shall cover,
at a
minimum, the elements of the servicing criteria applicable to the Paying Agent
indicated in Exhibit S attached hereto. For so long as the Depositor is subject
to Exchange Act reporting requirements with respect to the Trust, the Paying
Agent shall give prior written notice to the Sponsor, the Master Servicer,
the
Trustee and the Depositor of the appointment of any Subcontractor by it and
a
written description (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Sponsor and the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor
utilized by the Paying Agent, as applicable, specifying (A) the identity of
each
such Subcontractor and (B) which elements of the servicing criteria set forth

compliance provided by each such Subcontractor. In addition, for so long as
the
Depositor is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements with respect to
the
Trust, the Paying Agent shall notify the Sponsor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and the Depositor within five (5) calendar days of knowledge thereof
(i)
of any legal proceedings pending against the Paying Agent of the type described
in Item 1117 (§ 229.1117) of Regulation AB, (ii) any merger, consolidation or
sale of substantially all of the assets of the Paying Agent and (iii) if the
Paying Agent shall become (but only to the extent not previously disclosed)
at
any time an affiliate of any of the parties listed on Exhibit V hereto or any
of
their affiliates. On or before March 1st
of each
year, the Depositor shall furnish any change in the information in Exhibit
V to
the Paying Agent and the Trustee.
(c) Any
Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) agrees to indemnify the Depositor,
the
Trustee and the Master Servicer, and each of their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents and the Trust Fund and hold each of them harmless
from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal
fees
and expenses and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and
expenses that any of them may sustain arising out of or based upon the failure
by such Paying Agent to deliver any information, report or certification when
and as required under Section 6.20 and Section 9.25(a). This indemnification
shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the termination of such
Paying Agent hereunder.

Book-Entry
Certificates.
|
(a) Each
Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in
the
form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry
Certificates. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on
the
Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency, and
no
Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such
Certificate Owner’s interest in the Book-Entry Certificates, except as provided
in Section 3.09(c). Unless Definitive Certificates have been issued to
Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to Section
3.09(c):
83
(i) the
provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and effect;
(ii) the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent, the Registrar, any NIMS
Insurer and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes
(including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the
authorized representatives of the Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency
shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distributions to the
accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in accordance with the Clearing
Agency’s normal procedures;
(iii) to
the
extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09 conflict with any other
provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall control;
and
(iv) the
rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency
and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall be limited to those established
by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency
and/or the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency
will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and
receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the
Book-Entry Certificates to such Clearing Agency Participants.
(b) Whenever
notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this
Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued
to
Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the Trustee shall give all
such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the
Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency.
(c) If
(i)
(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is
no
longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect
to the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Certificate Owners representing beneficial interests aggregating not less than
50% of the Class Principal Amount of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates
identified as such to the Trustee by an Officer’s Certificate from the Clearing
Agency advise the Trustee and the Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency
Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through
the
Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners
of
a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the Trustee shall notify any NIMS Insurer
and shall notify or cause the Certificate Registrar to notify the Clearing
Agency to effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing
Agency, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for
registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither
the
Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in 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 Clearing Agency
shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent
applicable, with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall
recognize the holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, upon the instruction
of
the Depositor, shall have the right to issue Definitive Certificates on the
Closing Date in connection with credit enhancement programs.

(d) The
Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection
Account, no later than the second Business Day following the Closing Date,
any
amounts received with respect to the Mortgage Loans representing Scheduled
Payments (or in the case of Simple Interest Mortgage Loans, representing
scheduled interest payments, but actual principal payments) on the Mortgage
Loans due after the Cut-off Date and unscheduled payments received on or after
the Cut-off Date and on or before the Closing Date. Thereafter, the Master
Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account on
the
earlier of the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date and two Business

following receipt thereof, the following amounts received or payments made
by it
(other than in respect of principal of and interest on the Mortgage Loans due

Subsequent Recovery and any Scheduled Payment attributable to principal received
after its related Due Date, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, including Prepayment

(iii) any
unscheduled payment or other recovery with respect to a Mortgage Loan not
otherwise specified in this paragraph (d), including all Net Liquidation
Proceeds with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO Property, and all amounts
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property, net of (x) any
unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to such Mortgage Loans (but only to the
extent of the amount permitted to be withdrawn or withheld from the Collection
Account in accordance with Sections 5.04 and 9.21) and (y) any amounts
reimbursable to a Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan under the
applicable Servicing Agreement and retained by such Servicer;
(iv) all
Insurance Proceeds;

the
Seller, the Master Servicer or any other Person and any Substitution Amount
related to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and
any
purchase price paid by any NIMS Insurer for the purchase of any Distressed
Mortgage Loan under Section 7.04.
The
Master Servicer shall also deposit from its own funds into the Collection
Account (to the extent not already received from the related Servicer), without
right of reimbursement, except from Net Simple Interest Excess, an amount equal
to any Net Simple Interest Shortfall (to the extent not offset by Net Simple
Interest Excess) for the related Collection Period.
86
(e) Funds
in
the Collection Account may be invested in Eligible Investments selected by
and
at the written direction of the Master Servicer, which shall mature not later
than one Business Day prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date (except
that
if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of the Trustee, then such Eligible
Investment shall mature not later than such applicable Master Servicer
Remittance Date) and any such Eligible Investment shall not be sold or disposed
of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the
name of the Master Servicer in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and Holders
of the Structured Asset Securities Corporation Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-BC1
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-BC1. All income and gain
realized from any Eligible Investment shall be for the benefit of the Master
Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time,
subject to Section 5.05 hereof, and shall not be part of the Trust Fund. The
amount of any losses incurred in respect of any such investments shall be
deposited in such Collection Account by the Master Servicer out of its own
funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor, immediately as realized.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account are exclusive,
it
being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments of interest on funds in the Collection Account and payments
in the nature of late payment charges, assumption fees and other incidental
fees
and charges relating to the Mortgage Loans (other than Prepayment Premiums)
need
not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and may be
retained by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer as additional
servicing compensation. If the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection
Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time
withdraw such amount from such Collection Account.

Application
of Funds in the Collection Account.

Master Servicer may, from time to time, make, or cause to be made, withdrawals
from the Collection Account for the following purposes:
(i) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer for Advances or Servicing Advances made by
it
or by such Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04 or the applicable Servicing
Agreement; such right to reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (i) is limited
to amounts received on or in respect of a particular Mortgage Loan (including,
for this purpose, Liquidation Proceeds and amounts representing Insurance
Proceeds with respect to the property subject to the related Mortgage) which
represent late recoveries (net of the applicable Servicing Fee) of payments
of
principal or interest respecting which any such Advance was made, it being
understood, in the case of any such reimbursement, that the Master Servicer’s or
Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders;
(ii) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer, following a final liquidation of a Mortgage
Loan (except as otherwise provided in the related Servicing Agreement) for
any
previously unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances made by it or by such
Servicer (A) that it determines in good faith will not be recoverable from
amounts representing late recoveries of payments of principal or interest
respecting the particular Mortgage Loan as to which such Advance or Servicing
Advance was made or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds with respect
to such Mortgage Loan and/or (B) to the extent that such unreimbursed Advances
or Servicing Advances exceed the related Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance
Proceeds, it being understood, in the case of each such reimbursement, that
such
Master Servicer's or Servicer's right thereto shall be prior to the rights
of
the Certificateholders;
87
(iii) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer from Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation
Expenses and for amounts expended by it pursuant to Section 9.22(c) or the
applicable Servicing Agreement in good faith in connection with the restoration
of damaged property and, to the extent that Liquidation Proceeds after such
reimbursement exceed the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage
Rate less the applicable Servicing Fee Rate for such Mortgage Loan to the Due
Date next succeeding the date of its receipt of such Liquidation Proceeds,
to
pay to itself out of such excess the amount of any unpaid assumption fees,
late
payment charges or other Mortgagor charges on the related Mortgage Loan and
to
retain any excess remaining thereafter as additional servicing compensation,
it
being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment, that such
Master Servicer’s or Servicer’s right thereto shall be prior to the rights of
the Certificateholders;
(iv) to
the
extent of any previous Advances made by the Master Servicer with respect to
Simple Interest Mortgage Loans, to pay itself an amount equal to Net Simple
Interest Excess for the related Collection Period to the extent not offset
by
Net Simple Interest Shortfalls;
(v) to
reimburse itself or any Servicer for expenses incurred by and recoverable by
or
reimbursable to it or any Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, including,
without limitation, Sections 9.04, 9.05(b), 9.07(a), 9.30 or 11.15;
(vi) to
pay to
the Seller any Seller Remittance Amount;
(vii) to
pay to
the Depositor or the Seller, as applicable, with respect to each Mortgage Loan

to
this Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not distributed on the date

any Advances and Servicing Advances to the extent specified in the definition
of

any,
(in the case of a First Payment Default Loan or Delinquency Default Mortgage
Loan), or any amounts paid by LBH for shortfalls in the Purchase Price
for repurchases of First Payment Default Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
1.04(f) of the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement relating to the Seller paying the
difference if the FPD Purchase Price is less than the Purchase
Price;
(viii) if
applicable, to pay the PMI Insurance Premium with respect to each Bulk PMI
Policy;
(ix) subject
to Section 5.05, to pay to itself income earned on the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account;
(x) to
make
payments to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account in the amounts
and in the manner provided herein;
88
(xi) to
make
payment to itself, the Trustee and others pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement;
(xii) to
withdraw funds deposited in error in the Collection Account;
(xiii) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 7.02;
(xiv) to
reimburse the Trustee, and a successor master servicer (solely in its capacity
as successor master servicer), for any fee or advance occasioned by a
termination of the Master Servicer, and the assumption of such duties by the
Trustee or a successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.14, in each case to the extent not reimbursed by the terminated Master
Servicer, it being understood, in the case of any such reimbursement or payment,
that the right of the Master Servicer or the Trustee or other successor master
servicer thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Certificateholders;
and
(xv) to
reimburse any Servicer for such amounts as are due thereto under the applicable
Servicing Agreement and have not been retained by or paid to such Servicer,
to
the extent provided in such Servicing Agreement.
In
the
event that the Master Servicer fails on any Master Servicer Remittance Date
to
remit to the Trustee any amounts required to be so remitted to the Trustee
pursuant to sub-clause (x) by such date, the Master Servicer shall pay the
Trustee, interest calculated at the “prime rate” (as published in the “Money
Rates” section of The
Wall Street Journal)
on such
amounts not timely remitted for the period from and including that Master
Servicer Remittance Date through the date such funds are remitted to and
received by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall only be required to pay
the
Trustee interest for the actual number of days such amounts are not timely
remitted (e.g.,
one
day’s interest, if such amounts are remitted one day after the Master Servicer
Remittance Date).
In
connection with withdrawals made pursuant to subclauses (i), (iii), (iv), (vi)
and (vii) above, the Master Servicer’s, any Servicer’s or such other Person’s
entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related
Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall therefore keep and maintain a separate
accounting for each Mortgage Loan it master services for the purpose of
justifying any withdrawal made from the Collection Account it maintains pursuant
to such subclause (i), (iii), (iv), (vi) and (vii).

that is a savings and loan, bank or insurance company, which request, if

the
Master Servicer shall provide, or cause to be provided, (or, to the extent
that
such information or documentation is not required to be provided by a Servicer
under the applicable Servicing Agreement, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain
such information and documentation from such Servicer, and provide) to any
NIMS
Insurer and such Certificateholder such reports and access to information and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans as any NIMS Insurer or such
Certificateholder may reasonably deem necessary to comply with applicable
regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or its successor or other
regulatory authorities with respect to an investment in the Certificates;
provided,
however,
that the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by such Certificateholder
or
the NIMS Insurer for the actual expenses incurred in providing such reports
and
access.
(c) Upon
request of a Certificateholder and prior to a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event,
the Trustee shall have prepared and the Trustee shall make available to any
NIMS
Insurer and each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a
Certificateholder of record, and make available to Certificate Owners

basis as may be required to enable any NIMS Insurer and such Holders to prepare
their federal income tax returns; provided,
however,
that
this Section 4.03(c) shall not be applicable where relevant reports or summaries
are required elsewhere in this Agreement. Such information shall also include
the amount of original issue discount accrued on each Class of Certificates
and

Certificates, Series 2007-BC1” until disbursed pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. The Certificate Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall be
for
the benefit of the Certificateholders, subject to the rights of the Trustee
set
forth herein. If the existing Certificate Account ceases to be an Eligible
Account, the Trustee shall establish a new Certificate Account that is an

from and shall not be commingled with any other monies including, without

(b) The
Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Certificate Account,
on
the day on which, or if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following the day on which, any monies are remitted by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee, all such amounts. The Trustee shall make withdrawals
from the Certificate Account only for the following purposes:
(i) to
make
payment to itself pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or to reimburse
itself for any fees or expenses reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 6.12;
provided,
however,
that
any amounts in excess of the annual cap described in clause (b) of the
definition of “Interest Remittance Amount” and clause (b) of the definition of
“Principal Remittance Amount” in any Anniversary Year, other than costs and
expenses incurred by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14, in connection with
any transfer of servicing, shall not be withdrawn from the Certificate Account
and paid to the Trustee and the Trustee’s reimbursement for such excess amounts
shall be made pursuant to Section 5.02(b)(v);
(ii) to
withdraw amounts deposited in the Certificate Account in error;
(iii) to
make
payments of any investment income or earnings on the Certificate Account to
(A)
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company and Xxxxx Fargo, in their respective
capacities as Custodians, in payment of their respective Custodial Compensation,
if due and (B) then any remaining amounts of investment income or earnings
to
itself;
(iv) to
make
distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to Article V; and
(v) to
clear
and terminate the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 7.02.
(c) Funds
in
the Certificate Account may be invested by the Trustee in Eligible Investments
(which may be obligations of the Trustee or its affiliates). If invested, all
such investments must be payable on demand or mature no later than one Business
Day prior to the next Distribution Date, and shall not be sold or disposed
of
prior to their maturity. All such Eligible Investments will be made in the
name
of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All income and gain
realized from any such investment for each Distribution Date shall be
compensation (1) to Xxxxx Fargo and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company in
their respective capacities as Custodians, in payment of their respective
Custodial Compensation, if due, and (2) to the Trustee, any income and gain
remaining. Subject to the preceding sentence, all income and gain realized
from
any such investment for each Distribution Date shall be subject to withdrawal
by
the Trustee from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect
of
any such investments shall be paid by the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate
Account out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor,
immediately as realized.

payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
(c) All
distributions or allocations made with respect to Certificateholders within
each
Class on each Distribution Date shall be allocated among the outstanding
Certificates in such Class equally in proportion to their respective initial
Class Principal Amounts (or Percentage Interests).

Advances
by Master Servicer, Servicers and Trustee.
|
(a) Subject
to Section 9.07, Advances shall be made in respect of each Master Servicer
Remittance Date as provided herein. If, on any Determination Date, any Servicer
determines that any Scheduled Payments (or in the case of Simple Interest
Mortgage Loans, the amount of any scheduled interest payments) due during the
related Collection Period (other than Balloon Payments) have not been received,
such Servicer shall advance such amount to the extent provided in the applicable
Servicing Agreement. If any Servicer fails to remit Advances required to be
made
under the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall itself
make,
or shall cause the successor servicer to make, such Advance on the Master
Servicer Remittance Date immediately following such Determination Date. If
the
Master Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the Master
Servicer Remittance Date immediately following such Determination Date either
(i) remit to the Trustee from its own funds (or funds advanced by the applicable
Servicer) for deposit in the Certificate Account immediately available funds
in
an amount equal to such Advance, (ii) cause to be made an appropriate entry
in
the records of the Collection Account that funds in such account being held
for
future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 5.04,
used by the Master Servicer to make such Advance, and remit such immediately
available funds to the Trustee for deposit in the Certificate Account or (iii)
make Advances in the form of any combination of clauses (i) and (ii) aggregating
the amount of such Advance. Any funds being held in the Collection Account
for
future distribution to Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by
the
Master Servicer from its own funds by remittance to the Trustee for deposit
in
the Certificate Account on or before any future Master Servicer Remittance
Date
to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on such Master Servicer
Remittance Date shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required
to be
made on the related Distribution Date. The Master Servicer and each Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account for all Advances
made by it as provided in Section 4.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, in the event the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment
that an Advance is non-recoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under no
obligation to make such Advance.
109
(b) In
the
event that the Master Servicer or any Servicer fails for any reason to make
an
Advance required to be made pursuant to this Section 5.04 on or before the
Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Trustee, as successor master servicer
pursuant to Section 6.14, shall, on or before the related Distribution Date,
deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to the excess of (a) Advances
required to be made by the Master Servicer or the Servicers that would have
been
deposited in such Certificate Account over (b) the amount of any Advance made
by
the Master Servicer or any Servicer with respect to such Distribution Date;
provided,
however,
that the
Trustee shall be required to make such Advance only if it is not prohibited
by
law from doing so and it has determined that such Advance would be recoverable
from amounts to be received with respect to such Mortgage Loan, including late
payments, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or otherwise. The Trustee
shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Collection Account and/or the
Certificate Account for Advances made by it pursuant to this Section 5.04 as
if
it were the Master Servicer.

X Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund for
federal income tax purposes and LBH on behalf of the Holder thereof shall direct
the Trustee, in writing, as to investment of amounts on deposit therein. LBH
shall be liable for any losses incurred on such investments. In the absence
of
written instructions from LBH as to investment of funds on deposit in the Basis
Risk Reserve Fund, such funds shall be invested in the Xxxxx Fargo Advantage
Prime Money Market Fund. The Basis Risk Reserve Fund will be terminated after
the earlier of (A) a Section 7.01(c) Purchase Event or (B) a Trust Fund

(l) It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state

as
an entity separate from the holder of the Class X Certificates unless and until
the date when either (a) there is more than one Class X Certificateholder or
(b)
any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class X Certificates is
recharacterized as an equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust for
federal income tax purposes. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any entity
level tax reporting for the Supplemental Interest Trust.
(m) To
the
extent that the Supplemental Interest Trust is determined to be a separate
legal
entity from the Trustee, any obligation of the Trustee under the Swap Agreement
or the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be deemed to be an obligation of the
Supplemental Interest Trust.
113
(n) In
the
event that either the Swap Counterparty or the Cap Counterparty fails to perform
any of its obligations under the Swap Agreement or the Interest Rate Cap
Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligations to make any payment
or
transfer collateral), or breaches any of its representations and warranties
under the Swap Agreement or the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable,
or
in the event that an Event of Default, Termination Event, or Additional
Termination Event occurs (as such terms are defined in the Swap Agreement or
the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable), the Trustee, on behalf of the
Supplemental Interest Trust, shall (upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
receiving written notice or having actual knowledge of the occurrence thereof),
no later than the next Business Day following such failure, breach or
occurrence, notify the Swap Counterparty or the Cap Counterparty and give any
notice of such failure and make any demand for payment pursuant to the Swap
Agreement or the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable. In the event that
the Swap Counterparty’s obligations under the Swap Agreement or the Cap
Counterparty’s obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement are at any time
guaranteed by a third party, then to the extent that the Swap Counterparty
or
Cap Counterparty fails to make any payment or delivery required under terms
of
the Swap Agreement or the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, the
Trustee, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust, shall (upon a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee receiving written notice or having actual knowledge
of
the occurrence thereof), no later than the next Business Day following such
failure, demand that such guarantor make any and all payments then required
to
be made by the applicable guarantor.

Trust upon receipt of written confirmation from each Rating Agency (if required
pursuant to the terms of the Swap Agreement) that such replacement Swap
Agreement(s) will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of
any
outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency.
Amounts
on deposit in the Swap Replacement Receipts Account shall be held for the
benefit of the related Swap Counterparty and paid to such Swap Counterparty
if
the Supplemental Interest Trust is required to make a payment to such Swap
Counterparty following an event of default or termination event with respect
to
the Supplemental Interest Trust under the related Swap Agreement. Any amounts
not so applied shall, following the termination or expiration of such Swap
Agreement, be paid to the Class X Certificates.
(b) In
the
event of an “Early
Termination Event”
as
defined under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (i) any Cap Termination Payment

Eligible Account established by the Trustee (the “Cap

Replacement Receipts”)
will be
deposited in a segregated non-interest bearing account which shall be an
Eligible Account established by the Trustee (the “Cap
Replacement Receipts Account”).
The
Trustee shall invest, or cause to be invested, funds held in the Cap Termination
Receipts Account in time deposits of the Trustee as permitted by clause (ii)
of
the definition of Eligible Investments or as otherwise directed in writing

majority of the Certificateholders. All such investments must be payable on
demand or mature on a Interest Rate Cap Payment Date, a Distribution Date or
such other date as directed by the Certificateholders. All such Eligible
Investments shall be made in the name of the Supplemental Interest Trust or
its
nominee. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be

be borne by such account.
115

otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies as evidenced in a written
confirmation, the Depositor shall arrange for replacement Interest Rate Cap
Agreement(s) and the Trustee shall promptly, with the assistance and cooperation
of the Depositor, use amounts on deposit in the Cap Termination Receipts
Account, if necessary, to enter into replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s)
which shall be executed and delivered by the Trustee on behalf of the
Supplemental Interest Trust upon receipt of written confirmation from each
Rating Agency that such replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) will not
result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Class

CONCERNING
THE TRUSTEE; EVENTS OF DEFAULT
|
Section
6.01.
|
Duties
of Trustee.
|
(a) The
Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge, undertakes
to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. Any permissive right of the Trustee provided for in this Agreement
shall not be construed as a duty of the Trustee. If an Event of Default has
occurred and has not otherwise been cured or waived, the Trustee (upon receipt
of actual knowledge thereof by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee) shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own
affairs, unless the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer, in which case it
shall
use the same degree of care and skill as the Master Servicer
hereunder.
(b) The
Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which
are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are on their face in
the
form required by this Agreement; provided,
however,
that the
Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such
resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other
instrument furnished by the Master Servicer, any Servicer, the Swap
Counterparty, the Cap Counterparty or the Credit Risk Manager to the Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be required to recalculate or verify
any numerical information furnished to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.
Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, if any such resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument
is
found not to conform on its face to the form required by this Agreement in
a
material manner the Trustee shall notify the Person providing such resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports or other documents of the
non-conformity, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s
satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders
and any NIMS Insurer and will, at the expense of the Trust Fund, which expense
shall be reasonable given the scope and nature of the required action, take
such
further action as directed by the Certificateholders and any NIMS
Insurer.
116
(c) The
Trustee shall not have any liability arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement, except for its negligence or willful misconduct. No provision of
this
Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its
own
negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct; provided,
however,
that:
(i) The
Trustee shall not be 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
Holders as provided in Section 6.18 hereof;
(ii) For
all
purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice
of
any Event of Default (other than resulting from a failure by the Master Servicer
to furnish information to the Trustee when required to do so) unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless
written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by
the
Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice references the Holders
of
the Certificates and this Agreement;
(iii) No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its
own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if
it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to
it; and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event
require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement;
(iv) The
Trustee shall not be responsible for any act or omission of the Master Servicer,
any Servicer, the Credit Risk Manager, the Depositor, the Seller, any Custodian,
the Cap Counterparty or the Swap Counterparty.
(d) The
Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any complaint, claim,
demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may be alleged to
have
been delivered to or served upon it by the parties as a consequence of the
assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder; provided,
however,
that the
Trustee shall promptly remit to the Master Servicer upon receipt any such
complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered to
the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and makes reference to this series of
Certificate or this Agreement, (ii) of which a Responsible Officer has actual
knowledge, and (iii) which contains information sufficient to permit the Trustee
to make a determination that the real property to which such document relates
is
a Mortgaged Property.
(e) The
Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of any NIMS Insurer or the Certificateholders of any Class holding
Certificates which evidence, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating
not less than 25% as to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement.
117
(f) The
Trustee shall not be required to perform services under this Agreement, or
to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability for the
performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights
or powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the timely payment
of
its fees and expenses or the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of
the
provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee
to
perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of the Master Servicer or any Servicer under this Agreement or
any
Servicing Agreement except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be
the
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges
of,
the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(g) The
Trustee shall not be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the
Collection Account or any other account established under this Agreement
resulting from any investment loss on any Eligible Investment included therein
(except to the extent that the Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted
thereon).
(h) The
Trustee shall not have any duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or
depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any
financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest,
or
to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or
to
any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any
insurance or claim under any Insurance Policy, and (C) to see to the payment
or
discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien
or
encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against,
any
part of the Trust Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust other than from funds
available in the Collection Account or the Certificate Account, as applicable.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall not have any duty to
confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Master
Servicer, any Servicer, the Swap Counterparty, the Cap Counterparty or the
Credit Risk Manager delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement believed
by the Trustee to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties.
(i) The
Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for an error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or other officers of the Trustee
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts.
(j) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Trustee or any Paying
Agent shall be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages
of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even
if
the Paying Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action,
provided,
however,
that
this Subsection 6.01(j) shall not apply in connection with any failure by the
Trustee to comply with the provisions of Subsections 6.01(l) hereof and
Subsections 9.25(a) and (b) hereof.
(k) The
Trustee shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of the other, it
being understood that this Agreement shall not be construed to render them
agents of one another, or of the Master Servicer or any Servicer.
(l) For
so
long as the Depositor is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements for
the
Structured Asset Securities Corporation Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-BC1
transaction, the Trustee shall give prior written notice to the Sponsor, the
Master Servicer and the Depositor of the appointment of any Subcontractor by
it
and a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Sponsor
and
the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by the
Trustee, specifying (A) the identity of each such Subcontractor and (B) which
elements of the servicing criteria set forth under Item 1122(d) of Regulation

therefor by the Depositor or any NIMS Insurer, (ii) the Trustee shall become

of the Trustee of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, (iii) the Trustee shall
fail to observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or

Servicer and any NIMS Insurer.
121
(c) The
Holders of more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest)
of each Class of Certificates (or any NIMS Insurer in the event of failure
of
the Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder) may at any time upon 30 days’
written notice to the Trustee and to the Depositor remove the Trustee by such
written instrument, signed by such Holders or their attorney-in-fact duly
authorized (or by any NIMS Insurer), one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Depositor, one copy to the Trustee, one copy each to the Master
Servicer and any NIMS Insurer; the Depositor shall thereupon appoint a successor

(a) Any
successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.06 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer,
the Swap Counterparty and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee, shall become effective and such successor trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as trustee herein. A predecessor trustee (or
its
custodian) shall deliver to the Trustee or any successor trustee (or assign
to
the Trustee its interest under any Custodial Agreement, to the extent permitted
thereunder), all Mortgage Files and documents and statements related to each
Mortgage File held by it hereunder, and shall duly assign, transfer, deliver

thereof maintained by the predecessor trustee in the administration hereof
as
may be requested by the successor trustee and shall thereupon be discharged
from
all duties and responsibilities under this Agreement. In addition, the Master
Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such other
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more
fully
and certainly vest and confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers,
duties and obligations.

|
Any
Person into which the Trustee may be merged or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Persons succeeding
to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor to the
Trustee 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
that,
such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 6.05. Unless
and
until a Form 15 suspension notice shall have been filed, as a condition to
a
succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which
the
Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a
successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall notify the Sponsor, the Master
Servicer and the Depositor, at least 15 calendar days prior to the effective
date of such succession or appointment, of such succession or appointment and
shall furnish to the Sponsor, the Master Servicer and the Depositor in writing
and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Sponsor, the Master
Servicer and the Depositor, all information reasonably necessary for the Trustee

Section
6.09.
|
Appointment
of Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee or Custodian.
|
(a) Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, at any time, the Trustee, the Depositor or the
Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class Principal Amount (or
Percentage Interest) of every Class of Certificates shall
have the power from time to time to appoint one or more Persons, approved by
the
Trustee and any NIMS Insurer, to act either as co-trustees jointly with the
Trustee, or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding
title to, foreclosing or otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage
Loan outside the state where the Trustee has its principal place of business
where such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the
Trustee has been advised by the Master Servicer that such separate trustee
or
co-trustee is necessary or advisable) under the laws of any state in which
a
property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or for the purpose of otherwise
conforming to any legal requirement, restriction or condition in any state
in
which a property securing a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state in which
any portion of the Trust Fund is located. The separate Trustees, co-trustees,
or
custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of
all
the Certificateholders and shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall
be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided,
however,
that no
such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an
agent
of the Trustee. The obligation of the Trustee to make Advances pursuant to
Sections 5.04 and 6.14 hereof shall not be affected or assigned by the
appointment of a co-trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such co-custodian
or co-trustee is determined to be a Servicing Function Participant, no such
co-custodian or co-trustee shall be vested with any powers, rights and remedies
under this Agreement unless such party has agreed to comply with all Regulation
AB requirements set forth under this Agreement or the Custodial Agreements,
as
applicable.
123
(b) Every
separate trustee, co-trustee, and custodian shall, to the extent permitted
by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all
powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Trustee in respect
of
the receipt, custody and payment of monies shall be exercised solely by the
Trustee;
(ii) all
other
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, co-trustee, or custodian jointly, except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts
are
to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such
act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations,
including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in
any
such jurisdiction, shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee,
co-trustee, or custodian;
(iii) no
trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any
act
or omission of any other trustee or custodian hereunder; and
(iv) the
Trustee or the Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Aggregate
Voting Interests of the Certificates may at any time accept the resignation
of
or remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it
or
them, if such resignation or removal does not violate the other terms of this
Agreement.
(c) 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,
co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of
this
Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the
trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy given to the Master
Servicer and any NIMS Insurer.
(d) Any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian 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, co-trustee
or
custodian 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.
124
(e) No
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be required to meet
the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.05 hereunder
and
no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment shall be required under
Section 6.07 hereof.
(f) The
Trustee agrees to instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent necessary
to
fulfill the Trustee’s obligations hereunder.
(g) The
Trustee shall pay the reasonable compensation of the co-trustees requested
by
the Trustee to be so appointed (which compensation shall not reduce any
compensation payable to the Trustee ) and, if paid by the Trustee, shall be
a
reimbursable expense pursuant to Section 6.12.
(h) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for so long as reports are required to be filed with the
Commission under the Exchange Act with respect to the Trust, the Trustee shall
not utilize any Subcontractor for the performance of its duties hereunder if
such Subcontractor would be “participating in the servicing function” within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB without (a) giving notice to the Seller,
the Master Servicer, the Sponsor and the Depositor and (b) requiring any such
Subcontractor to provide to the Trustee an assessment report as provided in
Section 9.25(a) and an attestation report as provided in Section 9.25(b), which
reports the Trustee shall include in its assessment and attestation reports,
and, to the extent such Subcontractor is acting in a trustee capacity, the
information (as though such Subcontractor was the Trustee) pursuant to Section
6.20(e)(iv) for delivery by the Trustee thereunder. The Trustee shall indemnify
the Sponsor, the Depositor and the Master Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of each of the Sponsor, the Depositor and the Master Servicer
and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain
arising out of or based upon the failure by the Trustee (i) to give notice
of
the engagement of any Subcontractor or (ii) to require any Subcontractor to
provide the Trustee or fail to provide the Master Servicer and the Depositor
the
information, when and as required, pursuant to this Section 6.09(h). This
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section
6.10.
|
Authenticating
Agents.
|
(a) The
Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized
to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates. Wherever
reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by
the
Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee
by
an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America
or
of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000,
authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision
or
examination by federal or state authorities and acceptable to any NIMS
Insurer.
125
(b) Any
Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party,
or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating
Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the execution
or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.
(c) Any
Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30 days’ advance
written notice of resignation to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the
Depositor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such
Authenticating Agent, any NIMS Insurer and the Depositor. Upon receiving a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the
Depositor and any NIMS Insurer and shall mail notice of such appointment to
all
Holders of Certificates. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance
of
its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect
as if
originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.10.
No
Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action
taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Any Authenticating Agent shall
be
entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and, if paid by the
Trustee, it shall be a reimbursable expense pursuant to Section
6.12.

Section
6.11.
|

of Trustee.
|
The
Trustee and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled
to
indemnification from the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or expense incurred
in connection with any legal proceeding or incurred without negligence or
willful misconduct on its part arising out of, or in connection with, the
acceptance or administration of the trusts created hereunder or in connection
with the performance of its duties hereunder or under the Swap Agreement, the
Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Sale Agreement, the Transfer

Agreement or any Custodial Agreement, including any applicable fees and expenses
payable pursuant to Section 6.12 and the costs and expenses of defending
themselves against any claim in connection with the exercise or performance
of
any of their powers or duties hereunder, provided that:
(i) with
respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer and the Holders written notice thereof
promptly after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have knowledge thereof
provided
that the
failure to provide such prompt written notice shall not affect the Trustee’s
right to indemnification hereunder;
(ii) while
maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee shall cooperate and
consult fully with the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer
in
preparing such defense; and
126
(iii) notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 6.11, the Trust Fund shall not be
liable for settlement of any such claim by the Trustee entered into without
the
prior consent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and any NIMS Insurer, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The
Trustee shall be further indemnified by the Seller for and held harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of, or in connection with,
the provisions set forth in the fifth paragraph of Section 2.01(a) hereof,
including, without limitation, all costs, liabilities and expenses (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) of investigating and defending itself
against any claim, action or proceeding, pending or threatened, relating to
the

but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense under any environmental
law.

The
Trustee shall be entitled to any investment income and earnings on the
Certificate Account (other than any amounts required to be deducted in respect

the
applicable Custodial Agreement which shall be paid by the Trustee as invoiced

in accordance with this Agreement (including fees and expenses of its counsel
and all persons not regularly in its employment and any amounts described in
Section 10.01 to which the Trustee is entitled as provided therein), except
for
expenses, disbursements and advances that either (i) do not constitute
“unanticipated expenses” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) or (ii) arise from its negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. If the Custodial Compensation is not fully paid from (i) the
Trustee’s own funds or (ii) investment income and earnings on amounts on deposit
in the Certificate Account then prior to any distribution to Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof, the Trust Fund shall immediately reimburse
the
Trustee, or the applicable Custodian, as applicable, upon demand for any such
shortfall from amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account. To the extent
required under Section 20 of the related Custodial Agreement, the Trustee is
hereby authorized to pay any indemnification amounts from amounts on deposit
in
the Certificate Account prior to any distributions to Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof. LaSalle Bank, N.A., in its capacity as
Custodian, shall receive compensation and reimbursement or payment of its

If
an

any
such Event of Default shall not have been remedied within any period of time
prescribed by this Section, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master

than 50% of the Class Principal Amount of each Class of Certificates, terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and
to
the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If an Event of Default described
in
clause (xii) of this Section shall occur, then, in each and every case, subject
to applicable law, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied
within the time period prescribed by clause (xii) of this Section 6.14, the
Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, shall promptly terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and

Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master
Servicer, and only in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and
be
vested in the Trustee; provided,
however,
the
parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence there may be
a
transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of
the
Master Servicing obligations to the Trustee; provided,
further,
the
obligation to make Advances by the Trustee shall be effective upon the Trustee
providing notice of the termination to the Master Servicer pursuant to this
Section 6.14. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the defaulting Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish
all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of
such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or
assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents or otherwise. The
defaulting Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting
the
termination of the defaulting Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights
hereunder as Master Servicer including, without limitation, notifying Servicers
of the assignment of the master servicing function and providing the Trustee
or
its designee all documents and records in electronic or other form reasonably
requested by it to enable the Trustee or its designee to assume the defaulting
Master Servicer’s functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee for
administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be or should have
been deposited by the defaulting Master Servicer in the Collection Account
maintained by such defaulting Master Servicer and any other account or fund
maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter received with respect
to the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer being terminated (or the Trust Fund,

transfer, including but not limited to those of the Trustee reasonably allocable
to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and expenses, accounting and
financial consulting fees and expenses, and costs of amending the Agreement,
if
necessary.
The
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed from 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 master servicing from
the predecessor Master Servicer, including, without limitation, any costs or
expenses associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing data
and
the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be
required by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the master
servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee to master service the Mortgage
Loans properly and effectively. If the terminated Master Servicer does not
pay
such reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice
therefore, such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust and the Trustee
shall be entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in
the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.04(b); provided that the terminated
Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust for any such expense incurred by
the
Trust; and provided, further, that the Trustee shall decide whether and to
what
extent it is in the best interest of the Certificateholders to pursue any remedy
against any party obligated to make such reimbursement.
130
Notwithstanding
the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, each terminated Master
Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement to the extent provided
in Section 4.02 to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior
to
such Master Servicer’s termination.
If
any
Event of Default shall occur, the Trustee, upon a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee becoming aware of the occurrence thereof, shall promptly notify any
NIMS
Insurer, the Swap Counterparty, the Cap Counterparty and each Rating Agency
of
the nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Trustee shall immediately
give written notice to the Master Servicer upon the Master Servicer’s failure to
remit funds to the Trustee on the Master Servicer Remittance Date.
(b) On
and
after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination from the
Trustee pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee receives the resignation
of
the Master Servicer evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section
9.28,
the Trustee, unless another master servicer shall have been appointed, shall
be
the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity as such
under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein
and
shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the
Master Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances;
provided,
however,
that
any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master
Servicer’s or the Trustee’s failure to provide information required by this
Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. In
addition, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any act or omission
of
the Master Servicer prior to the issuance of any notice of termination. The
Trustee shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties
of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 9.14. In the Trustee’s capacity as
such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability herein
granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall
be
entitled to receive all compensation payable to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, including the Master Servicing Fee.
(c) Notwithstanding
the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act,
or
shall, if it is unable to so act, request the Trustee to appoint, petition
a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any
established housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer,
servicing or mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less
than
$15,000,000 and meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer
as
are set forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in
the
assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master
Servicer hereunder. Such successor master servicer shall have no responsibility
for any act or omission of the Master Servicer prior to such successor’s
assumption of the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and such
successor master servicer shall also have no liability relating to the
representations and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section
9.14.
Any entity designated by the Trustee as a successor master servicer may be
an
Affiliate of the Trustee; provided,
however,
that,
unless such Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards
set
forth herein for a successor master servicer, the Trustee, in its individual
capacity shall agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable
to the Trust Fund for such Affiliate’s actions and omissions in performing its
duties hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out
of
payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however,
that no
such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession
and
may make other arrangements with respect to the servicing to be conducted
hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The Master Servicer shall
cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master servicer in effecting the
termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder
including, without limitation, notifying Mortgagors of the assignment of the
master servicing functions and providing the Trustee and successor master
servicer, as applicable, all documents and records in electronic or other form
reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s
functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor master
servicer, as applicable, all amounts which shall at the time be or should have
been deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account and any other
account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or the Lower Tier
REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests or thereafter be received with respect
to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master
servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure
to
make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof
caused by (i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in
delivering, cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master
Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the
Master Servicer to deliver the Mortgage Loan data to the Trustee as required
by
this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over the Master Servicer.

the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in
Section 6.14, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by

and
other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy
provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and

result in a failure of the Trustee to make any required payment of principal
of
or interest on the Certificates may only be waived with the consent of 100%
of
the affected Certificateholders and with the consent of any NIMS Insurer. Upon
any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any
Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for
every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived.

Counterparty and the Cap Counterparty. The Trustee shall also, within 45 days
after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to a Responsible Officer

and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,

exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement;
provided,
however,

limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any administrative action or
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the terminating of the
Master Servicer or any successor master servicer from its rights and duties
as
master servicer hereunder) at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders or any NIMS Insurer, unless such Certificateholders or any
NIMS Insurer shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby; and, provided further, that, subject to the provisions of Section
8.01,
the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if
the
Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to any NIMS
Insurer, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully
be taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action or
proceeding so directed would involve it in personal liability for which it
is
not indemnified to its satisfaction or be unjustly prejudicial to the
non-assenting Certificateholders.

of
the Trustee as are required by the Code and the REMIC Provisions to be furnished

based upon errors in the information provided by such Master
Servicer.

15

Exchange Act), the Trustee shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust Fund
any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required
by
the Exchange Act. The Trustee shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the
related Distribution Date Statement and a copy of each report made available
by
the Credit Risk Manager pursuant to Section 9.34 (provided each such report
is

requirements) attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the Distribution
Date Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D (“Additional Form
10-D Disclosure”) shall be determined and prepared by and at the direction of
the Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph and the Trustee will have
no
duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in the next
paragraph.
134
(ii) As
set
forth on Exhibit P-1 hereto, within five calendar days after the related
Distribution Date, (A) certain parties to the Structured Asset Securities
Corporation Mortgage Loan Trust 2007-BC1 transaction, as identified in Exhibit
P-1, shall provide to the Depositor and the Trustee, to the extent known by
a
responsible officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible form (which may be Word or
Excel documents easily convertible to XXXXX format), or in such other form
as
otherwise agreed upon by the Trustee and such party, the form and substance
of
any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable, and include with such
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure an Additional Disclosure Notification in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit P-4 and (B) the Depositor will approve, as
to
form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Sponsor will be responsible
for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trustee in
connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D
pursuant to this paragraph.
(iii) After
preparing the Form 10-D, the Trustee shall forward electronically a copy of
the
Form 10-D to the Exchange Act Signing Party for review and approval. If the
Master Servicer is the Exchange Act Signing Party and the Form 10-D includes
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, then the Form 10-D shall also be electronically
distributed to the Depositor for review and approval. No later than two Business
Days prior to the 15th
calendar
day after the related Distribution Date, a duly authorized representative of
the
Exchange Act Signing Party shall sign the Form 10-D and return an electronic
or
fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an original executed hard copy to follow
by overnight mail) to the Trustee. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or

procedures set forth in subsection (g)(ii) of this Section 6.20. Promptly (but
no later than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Trustee

Section 6.20(d) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-D is
contingent upon such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in
the
performance of their duties under this Section 6.20(d). The Trustee shall have
no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect
to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where
such
failure results from the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on
a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare,
arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
135

filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the

such
filing requirements for the past 90 days.” Unless the Depositor has given the
Trustee prior notice as provided below, at the date of filing of each report
on
Form 10-D, the Depositor shall be deemed to represent to the Trustee that,
as of
such date, the Depositor has filed all such required reports during the
preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such filing requirement
for
the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Trustee in writing, no later
than the fifth calendar day after the related Distribution Date with respect
to
the filing of a report on Form 10-D if the answer to the questions should be

of
the Trust Fund a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required by the Exchange

as
Exhibit P-4 and (B) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or

under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any
Form 10-K Disclosure Information. The Sponsor will be responsible for any
reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trustee in connection
with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to
this
paragraph.

parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Trustee of
its
duties under this Section 6.20(e) related to the timely preparation and filing
of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties (and any Additional Servicer or
Servicing Function Participant) strictly observing all applicable deadlines
in
the performance of their duties under this Section 6.20(e), Section 9.25(a),
Section 9.25(b) and Section 9.26. The Trustee shall have no liability for any
loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure
to
properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results
from the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.
137

Trustee, the Paying Agent or any Servicing Function Participant engaged by
such
parties is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such

to
the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 6.20(e)(iv) with respect to
the
period of time it was subject to this Agreement.

8-K
needs to be amended, the Trustee will follow the procedures set forth in
subsection (g) of this Section 6.20. Promptly (but no later than one Business
Day) after filing with the Commission, the Trustee will make available on its
internet website a final executed copy of each Form 8-K prepared and filed
by it
pursuant to this Section 6.20(f). The parties to this Agreement acknowledge
that
the performance by the Trustee of its duties under this Section 6.20(f) related
to the timely preparation and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon such parties
strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties
under this Section 6.20(f). The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss,
expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to
properly prepare and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results
from the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.
139

of Reporting Obligations; Amendments; Late Filings.
(i) On
or
before January 30 of the first year in which the Trustee is able to do so under
applicable law, unless otherwise directed by the Depositor, the Trustee shall
prepare and file a Form 15 relating to the automatic suspension of reporting
in
respect of the Trust Fund under the Exchange Act. The Paying Agent is entitled
to assume that a Form 15 will be filed for such year unless the Trustee notifies
the Paying Agent that a Form 15 will not be filed.
(ii) In
the
event that the Trustee becomes aware that it will be unable to timely file
with
the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K
required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information
was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines
set forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Trustee will promptly
notify the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the parties to this
Agreement and each Servicer will cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25
and
a 10-D/A and 10-K/A as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange
Act.
In the case of Form 8-K, the Trustee will, upon receipt of all required Form
8-K
Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor,
include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that
any
previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended with respect to
an
additional disclosure item, the Trustee will notify the Depositor and any
applicable party affected thereby and such parties will cooperate to prepare
any
necessary 8-K/A, 10-D/A or 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment
to
Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by a senior officer or a duly authorized
representative, as applicable, of the Exchange Act Signing Party. The parties
to
this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Trustee of its duties
under this Section 6.20(g) related to the timely preparation and filing of
Form
15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is contingent
upon
each such party performing its duties under this Section. The Trustee shall
have
no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect
to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form
12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results
from the Trustee’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K,
10-D
or 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.

party
that signs any Exchange Act report that the Trustee is required to file shall

report along with the name and contact information for the person signing such

(a) The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee and the Master
Servicer created hereby (other than the obligation of the Trustee to make
payments to Certificateholders and the Swap Counterparty as set forth in Section
7.02, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make a final remittance to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 and the obligations of the Master Servicer
to
the Trustee pursuant to Sections 9.10, 9.14 and 9.31) shall terminate on the
earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage
Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property, (ii) the
sale of the property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 7.01(b)
and (iii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date (each, a “Trust Fund Termination
Event”); provided,
however,
that in
no event shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration
of
21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s,
living on the date hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Trust Fund Termination
Event, each REMIC shall be terminated in a manner that shall qualify as a
“qualified liquidation” under the REMIC Provisions.
142
(b) On
any
Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional Termination Date,
the Master Servicer or LTURI-holder, as applicable, with the prior written
consent of any NIMS Insurer and the Seller, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, has the option to cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan
of
complete liquidation pursuant to Section 7.03(a)(i) hereof to sell all of its
property (each such option, a “Call Option”); provided,
however,
that
any purchase of the Trust Fund’s property on or before the Distribution Date
that is one year after the Initial Optional Termination Date shall be made
by
the Bid Holder pursuant to Section 7.01(d) below. Upon exercise of such option,
the property of the Trust Fund shall be sold to the Master Servicer at a price
(the “Termination Price”) equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal
balance of each Mortgage Loan on the day of such purchase plus interest accrued
thereon at the applicable Mortgage Rate with respect to any Mortgage Loan to
the
Due Date in the Collection Period immediately preceding the related Distribution
Date to the date of such repurchase, (ii) the fair market value of any REO
Property and any other property held by any REMIC, such fair market value to
be
determined by an independent appraiser or appraisers mutually agreed upon by
the
Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee (reduced, in the case of
REO
Property, by (1) reasonably anticipated disposition costs and (2) any amount
by
which the fair market value as so reduced exceeds the outstanding principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus interest accrued thereon at the
applicable Net Mortgage Rate to the date of such purchase), (iii) any
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and (iv) any Net Swap Payments then remaining
unpaid and any Swap Termination Payment payable to the Swap Counterparty as
a
result of a termination pursuant to this Section 7.01; provided,
however, if
there
are any NIM Securities outstanding, the Master Servicer may only exercise its
option after receiving the prior written consent of the holders of such NIM
Securities and, if such consent is given, the Termination Price shall also
include an amount equal to the sum of (1) any accrued interest on the NIM
Securities, (2) the unpaid principal balance of any such NIM Securities and
(3)
any other reimbursable expenses owed by the issuer of the NIM Securities (the
“NIM Redemption Amount”). The Master Servicer, each Servicer, the Trustee and
the Custodians shall be reimbursed from the Termination Price for any Mortgage
Loan or related REO Property for any Advances made or other amounts advanced
with respect to the Mortgage Loans that are reimbursable to any such entity
under this Agreement, the applicable Servicing Agreement or the Custodial
Agreement, together with any accrued and unpaid compensation and any other
amounts due to the Master Servicer or the Trustee hereunder or the Servicers
or
the Custodians. If the NIMS Insurer directs the Master Servicer to exercise
its
right to cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation as
described above, then (i) the Master Servicer shall cause the Trust Fund to
adopt a plan of complete liquidation as described above, (ii) the NIMS Insurer
shall remit the Termination Price in immediately available funds to the Master
Servicer at least three Business Days prior to the applicable Distribution
Date
and, upon receipt of such funds from the NIMS Insurer, the Master Servicer
shall
promptly deposit such funds in the Collection Account and (iii) upon termination
of the Trust Fund, the Trustee will transfer the property of the Trust Fund
to
the NIMS Insurer. The NIMS Insurer shall be obligated to reimburse the Master
Servicer and the Trustee for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in
connection with its termination of the Trust Fund at the direction of the NIMS
Insurer and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Master Servicer and the
Trustee for any losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from any claims
arising out of or relating to the Master Servicer’s termination of the Trust
Fund at the direction of the NIMS Insurer, except to the extent such losses,
liabilities or expenses arise out of or result from the Master Servicer’s
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(c) On
any
Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional Termination Date
and provided there are no NIM Securities outstanding, the Master Servicer,
with
the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, has the option to purchase all of the Lower Tier REMIC 1
Uncertificated Regular Interests. Upon exercise of such option, the Lower Tier
REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests shall be sold to the Master Servicer
at
a price (the “Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests Purchase
Price”) equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each
Mortgage Loan on the day of such purchase plus interest accrued thereon at
the
applicable Mortgage Rate with respect to any Mortgage Loan to the Due Date
in
the Collection Period immediately preceding the related Distribution Date to
the
date of such repurchase and (ii) the fair market value of any REO Property
and
any other property held by any REMIC, such fair market value to be determined
by
an independent appraiser or appraisers mutually agreed upon by the Master
Servicer, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee (reduced, in the case of REO
Property, by (1) reasonably anticipated disposition costs and (2) any amount
by
which the fair market value as so reduced exceeds the outstanding principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus interest accrued thereon at the
applicable Net Mortgage Rate to the date of such purchase). If the Master
Servicer elects to exercise such option, each REMIC created pursuant to this
Agreement (other than REMIC 1) shall be terminated in such a manner so that
the
termination of each such REMIC shall qualify as a “qualified liquidation” under
the REMIC Provisions and the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests
and the Class LT-R Certificates will evidence the entire beneficial interest
in
the property of the Trust Fund. Following a purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC
1
Uncertificated Regular Interests pursuant to this subsection, the Trust Fund
(and REMIC 1) will remain outstanding and final payment on the Certificates
(other than the Class LT-R Certificates) will be made in accordance with
Sections 7.03(a)(iii) and 5.02. The Trust Fund will terminate upon the
occurrence of a Trust Fund Termination Event, in accordance with Section
7.01(a).

(d) (i)
Prior
to exercising the Call Option pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or the Regular
Interests Purchase Option pursuant to Section 7.01(c), the Master Servicer
shall
on the first Business Day of the month of the occurrence of the Initial Optional
Termination Date, and for so long as the Master Servicer shall not have
exercised the Call Option or the Regular Interests Purchase Option, on the
first
Business Day of each succeeding month (each, a “Bid Month”), the Master Servicer
shall give written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Y (the “Call
Option Notice”) to each Call Option Holder.
(ii) Not
later
than three (3) Business Days prior to the related Bid Due Date, the Master
Servicer shall give written notice to each Call Option Holder of the Termination
Price for the related Distribution Date.
(iii) Not
later
than the 15th day (or if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately
succeeding Business Day) of each Bid Month (the “Bid Due Date”), if any Call
Option Holder desires that the Master Servicer exercise the option to purchase
the Mortgage Loans and certain other property of the Trust Fund, such Call
Option Holder shall give written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
Z
(the “Purchaser Call Option Notice”) to the Master Servicer, requesting that the
Master Servicer exercise such option on behalf of such Call Option Holder.
The
Purchaser Call Option Notice shall include the amount to be paid by a Call
Option Holder with respect to the proceeds or assets to be received by the
Master Servicer for the Mortgage Loans and certain other property of the Trust
Fund (the “Bid Price”); provided,
that
the Bid Price must be equal to or greater than the Termination
Price.
(iv) One
(1)
Business Day after the related Bid Due Date, the Master Servicer shall notify
the Call Option Holder, if any, that has submitted the highest Bid Price (the
“Bid Holder”) that such Bid Holder has the right to direct the Master Servicer
to exercise the option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and certain other property
of the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer shall thereafter notify any Call Option
Holder that did not submit the highest Bid Price (or did not submit a Purchaser
Call Option Notice) of the amount of the highest Bid Price. If two or more
Call
Option Holder shall have bid the same Bid Price, the Bid Holder shall be the
Call Option Holder with the greater Percentage Interest in the NIM Residual
Securities or Class X Certificates, as applicable. If the Master Servicer does
not receive any Purchaser Call Option Notices by such Bid Due Date, or if no
Purchaser Call Option Notice specifies a Bid Price equal to or greater than
the
Termination Price, then the Master Servicer shall not exercise the option to
purchase the Mortgage Loans and certain other property of the Trust Fund on
such
Distribution Date (other than in accordance with clause (vii)
below).
144
(v) Not
later
than three (3) Business Days immediately preceding the Distribution Date in
the
related Bid Month, the Bid Holder shall remit the Bid Price as specified in
the
Purchaser Call Option Notice to the Master Servicer, in immediately available
funds. Upon receipt of such funds from the Bid Holder, the Master Servicer
shall
promptly deposit the Termination Price in the Collection Account for subsequent
deposit in the Certificate Account in accordance with this Trust Agreement.
Any
amounts received by the Master Servicer from the Bid Holder in excess of the
Termination Price shall be remitted to the Trustee for distribution to the
Call
Option Holders. In no event shall any such excess be treated as being paid
by
any REMIC created hereby.
(vi) If
the
Bid Holder directs the Master Servicer to exercise the option to purchase the
Mortgage Loans and certain other property of the Trust Fund, then the Master
Servicer shall (i) cause the Trust Fund to adopt a plan of complete liquidation
pursuant to Section 7.03(a)(i) hereof to sell all of its property and (ii)
instruct the Trustee upon termination of the Trust Fund to transfer the property
of the Trust Fund to the Bid Holder. The Bid Holder shall be obligated to
reimburse the Master Servicer for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in connection with its exercise of the option to purchase the Mortgage Loans
and
certain other property of the Trust Fund and to indemnify and hold harmless
the
Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from any
claims directly resulting from or relating to the Master Servicer’s exercise of
such option, except to the extent such losses, liabilities or expenses arise
out
of or result from the Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct. The terms of such expense reimbursement and the extent of such
indemnity may be amended accordant to an agreement between the Master Servicer
and the Bid Holder.
(vii) Commencing
on the Distribution Date of the one year anniversary of the Initial Optional
Termination Date, and on each Distribution Date thereafter, the Master Servicer
shall have the right to exercise the Call Option or the Regular Interests
Purchase Option. If the Master Servicer desires to exercise the Call Option
or
the Regular Interests Purchase Option, the Master Servicer shall notify the
Call
Option Holders pursuant to a Call Option Notice that it desires to exercise
such
Call Option or such Regular Interest Purchase Option, as applicable, on the
immediately succeeding Distribution Date. If one or more Call Option Holders
submit a Purchaser Call Option Notice on or before the immediately succeeding
Bid Due Date, then, the Master Servicer shall follow the procedures set forth
in
clauses (iv) through (vi) above. However, if no Call Option Holder submits
a
Purchaser Call Option Notice on or before the immediately succeeding Bid Due
Date, then, on the immediately succeeding Distribution Date, the Master Servicer
may exercise the its right to purchase the Mortgage Loans and other property
of
the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or the Lower Tier REMIC 1
Uncertificated Regular Interests pursuant to Section 7.01(c).

Section
7.02.

Procedure
Upon Termination of Trust Fund or Purchase of Lower Tier REMIC 1
Uncertificated Regular Interests.
|
(a) Notice
of
any Trust Fund Termination Event and notice of the purchase of the Lower Tier
REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, specifying the Distribution Date
upon
which the final distribution to the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R
Certificates, in the case of a purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated
Regular Interests) shall be made, shall be given by the Trustee by first class
mail to Certificateholders mailed promptly (and in no event later than five
Business Days) (x) after the Trustee has received notice from the Master
Servicer or the LTURI-holder, as applicable, of its election to cause (1) the
sale of all of the property of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or
(2)
the purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests pursuant
to Section 7.01(c), or (y) upon the final payment or other liquidation of the
last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in the Trust Fund. In the case of a Trust
Fund Termination Event, the Trustee shall also give notice to the Master
Servicer, the Swap Counterparty, the Cap Counterparty and the Certificate
Registrar at the time notice is given to Holders.
In
the
case of a Trust Fund Termination Event, such notice shall specify (A) the
Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates or Lower
Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests of all amounts required to be
distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office,
and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date
is
not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender
of
the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.
Upon
any such Trust Fund Termination Event, the duties of the Certificate Registrar
with respect to the Certificates or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular
Interests shall terminate and the Trustee shall terminate or request the Master
Servicer to terminate, the Collection Account it maintains, the Certificate
Account and any other account or fund maintained with respect to the
Certificates or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, subject
to
the Trustee’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to
Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.
In
the
case of a purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests,
such notice shall specify (A) the Distribution Date upon which final
distribution on the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificates) of
all
amounts required to be distributed to Certificateholders pursuant to Section
5.02 (other than any distributions to the Class LT-R Certificates in respect
of
REMIC 1) will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates (other
than the Class LT-R Certificates) at the Corporate Trust Office, and (B) that
the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the
Certificates (other than the Class LT-R Certificates) at the office or agency
of
the Trustee therein specified. Upon any such purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC
1
Uncertificated Regular Interests, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with
respect to the Certificates other than the Class LT-R Certificate shall
terminate but the Trustee shall not terminate or request the Master Servicer
to
terminate, the Collection Account it maintains, the Certificate Account and
any
other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject
to
the Trustee’s obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable to
Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment. For all
Distribution Dates following the Distribution Date on which the Master Servicer
purchases the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests, all amounts
that would be distributed on the Certificates (other than the Class LT-R
Certificate and exclusive of amounts payable from any fund held outside of
REMIC
1) absent such purchase shall be payable to the LTURI-holder.
146
(b) In
the
event that all of the Holders do not surrender their Certificates for
cancellation within three months after the time specified in the above-mentioned
written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Trustee may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders
concerning surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid
out of the amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after
the
second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Trustee shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment,
hold
all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders.
No
interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Trustee and not distributed
to a
Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in accordance
with
this Section.
(c) Any
reasonable expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with any Trust Fund
Termination Event or any purchase of the Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated
Regular Interests shall be reimbursed from proceeds received from such
termination or purchase.

Termination Payment owed to the Swap Counterparty on the related Swap Payment
Date (in each case to the extent not paid on previous Swap Payment Dates) in
accordance with Section 5.01 and Section 5.02. In the case of a Trust Fund
Termination Event, and, after payment of, or provision for any outstanding
expenses, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed
or
credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on hand after
such final payment (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust
Fund
(and each REMIC) shall terminate at that time; and
(iv) In
no
event may the final payment on the Certificates or the final distribution or
credit to the Holders of the Residual Certificates in respect of the residual
interest in any liquidated REMIC be made after the 89th day from the date on
which the plan of complete liquidation for such REMIC is adopted.
(b) By
its
acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof hereby agrees to
accept the plan of complete liquidation prepared by the Depositor and adopted
by
the Trustee under this Section and to take such other action in connection
therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or any
Servicer.
(c) In
connection with the termination of the Trust Fund, or a Section 7.01(c) Purchase
Event, the Trustee may request an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee
(at the expense of the Depositor) to the effect that all the requirements of
a

representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or take any action or proceeding
in any court for a partition or winding up of this Trust Fund, nor otherwise
affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any
of
them. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Certificateholder,
solely by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall have any right
to
vote or in any manner otherwise control the Master Servicer or the operation
and
management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor
shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates,
be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association, nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
(b) No
Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as Certificateholder, shall
have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement
to
institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under
or
with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given
to the Trustee a written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance
thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Class Principal Amount (or Percentage
Interest) of Certificates of each Class affected thereby shall, with the prior
written consent of any NIMS Insurer, have made written request upon the Trustee
to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as
it
may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein
or
thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty 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 and no direction inconsistent with such written
request has been given the Trustee during such sixty-day period by such
Certificateholders or any NIMS Insurer; it being understood and intended, and
being expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders
of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by
availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the
rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates or the rights of any
NIMS Insurer, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to
any
other such Holder or any NIMS Insurer, or to enforce any right under this
Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the benefit of all
Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of
this
Section, each and every Certificateholder, the NIMS Insurer and the Trustee
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

Access
to List of Holders.
|
(a) If
the
Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar will
furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer, within
fifteen days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by the
Trustee or any NIMS Insurer in writing, a list, in such form as the Trustee
may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders of
each
Class as of the most recent Record Date.
149
(b) If
any
NIMS Insurer or three or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter
referred to as “Applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and such
application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders
with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates
and
is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose
to
transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt
of
such application, afford such Applicants reasonable access during the normal
business hours of the Trustee to the most recent list of Certificateholders
held
by the Trustee or shall, as an alternative, send, at the Applicants’ expense,
the written communication proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders
at their addresses as they appear in the Certificate Register.
(c) Every
Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, by receiving
and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
any
NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that neither the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer, the Certificate Registrar
nor
the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such
information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder,
regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section
8.03.
|
Acts
of Holders of Certificates.
|
(a) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or Certificate
Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and evidenced
by
one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders
in
person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument
or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where expressly required herein,
to the Master Servicer. Such instrument or instruments (as the action embodies
therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as an “Act” of
the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agents shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and
the
Master Servicer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. Each of the
Trustee and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the others of receipt
of
any such instrument by it, and shall promptly forward a copy of such instrument
to the others.
(b) The
fact
and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may
be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate
of
any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments
or
deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing
acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever such execution is by an
officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on behalf of such
corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute
sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any
such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual executing the
same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems
sufficient.
150
(c) The
ownership of Certificates or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interests
(whether or not such Certificates or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular
Interests shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or
other writing thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved
by
the Certificate Register, and none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
NIMS
Insurer, or the Depositor shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
(d) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action by the Holder of any Certificate or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated
Regular Interest shall bind every future Holder of the same Certificate or
Lower
Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interest and the Holder of every Certificate
or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular Interest issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof,
in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or
the
Master Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action
is
made upon such Certificate or Lower Tier REMIC 1 Uncertificated Regular
Interest.

Master
Servicer Fidelity Bond and Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance
Policy.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a Master Servicer
Fidelity Bond and a Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy,
affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other
Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and
omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The
Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and the Master Servicer
Fidelity Bond shall be in such form and amount that would be consistent with
coverage customarily maintained by master servicers of mortgage loans similar
to
the Mortgage Loans and the Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee and any
NIMS Insurer upon request, with a copy of such policy and fidelity bond. The
Master Servicer shall (i) require each Servicer to maintain an Errors and
Omissions Insurance Policy and a Servicer Fidelity Bond in accordance with
the
provisions of the applicable Servicing Agreement, (ii) cause each Servicer
to
provide to the Master Servicer certificates evidencing that such policy and
bond
is in effect and to furnish to the Master Servicer any notice of cancellation,
non-renewal or modification of the policy or bond received by it, as and to
the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, and (iii) furnish copies
of such policies and of the certificates and notices referred to in clause

to the Trustee upon request.
151
(b) The
Master Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer any

Master Servicer Errors and Omissions Insurance Policy and shall furnish to
the
Trustee and any NIMS Insurer, on request, certificates evidencing that such
bond
and insurance policy are in full force and effect. The Master Servicer shall
promptly report to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer all cases of embezzlement
or
fraud, if such events involve funds relating to the Mortgage Loans. The total
losses, regardless of whether claims are filed with the applicable insurer
or
surety, shall be disclosed in such reports together with the amount of such
losses covered by insurance. If a bond or insurance claim report is filed with
any of such bonding companies or insurers, the Master Servicer shall promptly
furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer. Any amounts
relating to the Mortgage Loans collected by the Master Servicer under any such
bond or policy shall be promptly remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trustee
for deposit into the Certificate Account. Any amounts relating to the Mortgage
Loans collected by the applicable Servicer under any such bond or policy shall
be remitted to the Master Servicer to the extent provided in the applicable
Servicing Agreement.

Power
to Act; Procedures.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full
power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of
Article X hereof, and each Servicer shall have full power and authority (to
the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) to do any and all things
that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the servicing and
administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power
and
authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents,
(ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the
Mortgage Notes and
152
related
Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds,
and
(iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the
Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance
with
the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Servicing Agreement, as
applicable; provided that the Master Servicer shall not take, or knowingly
permit any Servicer to take, any action that is inconsistent with or prejudices
the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan
or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall represent
and
protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it protects its
own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any claim, proceeding
or
litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan and shall not make or knowingly permit
any
Servicer to make any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any
Mortgage Loan that would cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the
name
of a Servicer, and each Servicer, to the extent such authority is delegated
to
such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is hereby authorized
and
empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer or such Servicer, as the
case
may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment and in accordance with
Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing Agreement, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of itself and the Certificateholders, the Trustee or
any
of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial
or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect
to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Trustee
shall furnish to the Master Servicer, upon request, with any powers of attorney
empowering the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release
or
discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property,
and
to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage
Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable Servicing
Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, necessary or appropriate
to
enable the Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans and carry out
its duties hereunder and to allow each Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans,
in each case in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices (and the Trustee
shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master
Servicer or any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been
advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to
be
taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the
Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of
such state if such action is taken in its name, then upon request of the Trustee
the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a
co-trustee pursuant to Section 6.09 hereof. In no event shall the Master
Servicer, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit
or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master
Servicer in its applicable, representative capacity, so long as the
jurisdictional and procedural rules will allow for this insertion to occur,
(ii)
initiate any action, suit or proceeding not directly relating to the servicing
of a Mortgage Loan (including but not limited to actions, suits or proceedings
against Certificateholders, or against the Depositor or the Transferor for
breaches of representations and warranties) solely under the Trustee’s name,
(iii) engage counsel to represent the Trustee in any action, suit or proceeding
not directly relating to the servicing of a Mortgage Loan (including but not
limited to actions, suits or proceedings against Certificateholders, or against
the Depositor or the Transferor for breaches of representations and warranties),
or (iv) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits,
registrations or other documents or take any action with the intent to cause,
and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any
state. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for any and all costs,
liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the
negligent or willful misuse of such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer.
In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an
independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is
taking action in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund, be deemed
to be the agent of the Trustee.
153
(b) In
master
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall employ
procedures and exercise the same care that it customarily employs and exercises
in master servicing and administering loans for its own account, giving due
consideration to Accepted Servicing Practices where such practices do not
conflict with this Agreement. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer
may, and may permit any Servicer to, in its discretion (i) waive any late
payment charge (but not any Prepayment Premium, except as set forth below)
and
(ii) extend the due dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period
not
greater than 120 days; provided,
however,
that the
maturity of any Mortgage Loan shall not be extended past the date on which
the
final payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off
Date. In the event of any extension described in clause (ii) above, the Master
Servicer shall make or cause such Servicer (if required by the applicable
Servicing Agreement) to make Advances on the related Mortgage Loan in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.04 on the basis of the amortization schedule
of
such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such extension.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall not make or knowingly permit any modification, waiver or amendment of
any
material term of any Mortgage Loan, unless: (1) such Mortgage Loan is in default
or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master
Servicer or the related Servicer, reasonably foreseeable, (2) in the case of
a
waiver of a Prepayment Premium, (a) such Mortgage Loan is in default or default
by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer
or the related Servicer, reasonably foreseeable and such waiver would maximize
recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment
Premium and the related Mortgage Loan or (b) if the prepayment is not the result
of a refinance by the Servicer or any of its affiliates and (i) such Mortgage
Loan is in default or default by the related Mortgagor is, in the reasonable
judgment of the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, reasonably foreseeable
and such waiver would maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account
the value of such Prepayment Premium and the related Mortgage Loan or (ii)
the
collection of the Prepayment Premium would be in violation of applicable law
or
(iii) the collection of such Prepayment Premium would be considered “predatory”
pursuant to written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal,
state or local regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having
jurisdiction over such matters and (3) the Master Servicer shall have provided
or caused to be provided to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to
the
Trustee (which opinion shall, if provided by the Master Servicer, be an expense
reimbursed from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.02(v)) to the
effect that such modification, waiver or amendment would not result in an
Adverse REMIC Event; provided, in no event shall an Opinion of Counsel be
required for the waiver of a Prepayment Premium under clause (2)
above.
154
(c) As
an
alternative permitting a modification or effectuating a foreclosure or other
conversion of the ownership of a Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer may,
at
its option, purchase any Mortgage Loan that has become one hundred and twenty
(120) days or more delinquent in payment; provided,
however,
that
(i) the Master Servicer promptly notifies the related Servicer of its intention
to purchase any such delinquent Mortgage Loan prior to its purchase and (ii)
that the Master Servicer shall exercise any such option to purchase a Mortgage
Loan within sixty (60) days after any such Mortgage Loan has become one hundred
and twenty (120) days delinquent. The price at which the Master Servicer shall
purchase any such delinquent Mortgage Loan shall equal the Purchase Price and
such amount shall be deposited into the Collection Account on the date of
purchase pursuant to Section 4.01(d)(viii). Upon receipt by the Trustee of
a
written certification from the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer has
exercised such option and deposited the full amount of the Purchase Price of
the
related Mortgage Loan in the Collection Account and delivery of a Request for
Release of Documents (on the form attached hereto as Exhibit C or in the form
attached to the related Custodial Agreement), the applicable Custodian shall
release the related Mortgage File to or upon the order of the Master Servicer,
and at the written request of the Master Servicer the Trustee shall execute
and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest title to
such Mortgage Loan in the Master Servicer or its designee, which instruments
shall be prepared by the Master Servicer.
|
Section
9.05.
|
Enforcement
of Servicer’s and Master Servicer’s Obligations.
|
(a) Each
Servicing Agreement requires the applicable Servicer, respectively, to service
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions thereof. References in
this
Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions
taken or to be taken by a Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer. Any fees
and other amounts payable to a Servicer shall be deducted from amounts remitted
to the Master Servicer by such Servicer (to the extent permitted by the
applicable Servicing Agreement) and shall not be an obligation of the Trust
Fund, the Trustee or the Master Servicer.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall not be required to (i) take any action with respect to
the
servicing of any Mortgage Loan that the related Servicer is not required to
take
under the related Servicing Agreement and (ii) cause a Servicer to take any
action or refrain from taking any action if the related Servicing Agreement
does
not require such Servicer to take such action or refrain from taking such
action; in both cases notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement that
requires the Master Servicer to take such action or cause such Servicer to
take
such action.
(c) The
Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the
Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the
related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails
to
perform its obligations in accordance therewith, terminate the rights and
obligations of such Servicer thereunder and either act as servicer of the
related Mortgage Loans or cause the other parties hereto to enter into a
Servicing Agreement (and such parties hereby agree to execute and deliver any
such successor Servicing Agreement), with a successor Servicer. Such
enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,
termination of 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 initially (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement
only to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in
respect of the related Mortgage Loans, (ii) from a specific recovery of costs,
expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such enforcement is
directed, and then, (iii) to the extent that such amounts are insufficient
to
reimburse the Master Servicer for the costs of such enforcement, from the
Collection Account.
155
(d) The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any certifications
or
other information provided by the Servicers under the terms of the applicable
Servicing Agreement, in its preparation of any certifications, filings or
reports, in accordance with the terms hereof or as may be required by applicable
law or regulation.
|
Section
9.06.
|
Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items.
|
(a) To
the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer
shall
cause each Servicer to establish and maintain one or more custodial accounts
at
a depository institution (which may be a depository institution with which
the
Master Servicer or any Servicer establishes accounts in the ordinary course
of
its servicing activities), the accounts of which are insured to the maximum
extent permitted by the FDIC (each, an “Escrow Account”) and to deposit therein
any collections of amounts received with respect to amounts due for taxes,
assessments, water rates, standard hazard insurance policy premiums, Payaheads,
if applicable, or any comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors.
Withdrawals from any Escrow Account may be made (to the extent amounts have
been
escrowed for such purpose) only in accordance with the applicable Servicing
Agreement. Each Servicer shall be entitled to all investment income not required
to be paid to Mortgagors on any Escrow Account maintained by such Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall make (or cause to be made) to the extent provided in
the
applicable Servicing Agreement advances to the extent necessary in order to
effect timely payment of taxes, water rates, assessments, standard hazard
insurance policy premiums or comparable items in connection with the related
Mortgage Loan (to the extent that the Mortgagor is required, but fails, to
pay
such items), provided that it or the applicable Servicer has determined that
the
funds so advanced are recoverable from escrow payments, reimbursement pursuant
to Section 4.02 or otherwise.
(b) Costs
incurred by the Master Servicer or by any Servicer in effecting the timely
payment of taxes and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage
Loans
may be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Note where the
terms
of the Mortgage Note so permit; provided,
however,
that the
addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of
calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders. Such costs,
to
the extent that they are unanticipated, extraordinary costs, and not ordinary
or
routine costs shall be recoverable as a Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 4.02.
|
Section
9.07.
|
Termination
of Servicing Agreements; Successor Servicers.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate the rights and obligations of
any
Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement in accordance with the terms
and conditions of such Servicing Agreement and without any limitation by virtue
of this Agreement; provided,
however,
that in
the event of termination of any Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer,
the
Master Servicer shall provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by a
successor Servicer to be appointed as provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement.
156
The
parties acknowledge that notwithstanding the preceding sentence, there may
be a
transition period, not to exceed 90 days, in order to effect the transfer of
servicing to a successor Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to
be
reimbursed from each Servicer (or by the Trust Fund, if the Servicer is unable
to fulfill its obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer
of servicing from the predecessor 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 Master Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in
the
servicing data or otherwise to enable the Master Servicer to service the
Mortgage Loans properly and effectively.
(b) If
the
Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will not assume liability
for
the representations and warranties of a Servicer, if any, that it replaces.
The
Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to have the successor Servicer
assume liability for the representations and warranties made by the terminated
Servicer in the related Servicing Agreement, and in the event of any such
assumption by the successor Servicer, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, as
applicable, may, in the exercise of its business judgment, release the
terminated Servicer from liability for such representations and
warranties.
(c) If
the
Master Servicer acts as a successor Servicer, it will have the same obligations
to make Advances as the Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement and
to
reimburse the successor Servicer for unreimbursed Advances if required by the
Servicing Agreement but will have no obligation to make an Advance if it
determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable.
To
the extent that the Master Servicer is unable to find a successor Servicer
that
is willing to service the Mortgage Loans for the Servicing Fee because of the
obligation of the Servicer to make Advances regardless of whether such Advance
is recoverable, the applicable Servicing Agreement may be amended to provide
that the successor Servicer shall have no obligation to make an Advance if
it
determines in its reasonable judgment that such Advance is non-recoverable
and
provides an Officer’s Certificate to such effect to the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and the NIMS Insurer.
|
Section
9.08.
|
Master
Servicer Liable for Enforcement.
|
Notwithstanding
any Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and liable
to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the Certificateholders in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent of its obligations hereunder,
without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Servicing
Agreements. The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
ensure that the Mortgage Loans are serviced in accordance with the provisions
of
this Agreement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the
provisions of each Servicing Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and any NIMS Insurer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any
agreement with any Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer and
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Master Servicer
shall
have no liability for the acts or omissions of any Servicer in the performance
by such Servicer of its obligations under the related Servicing
Agreement.
157
|
Section
9.09.
|
No
Contractual Relationship Between Any Servicer and Trustee or Depositor.
|
Any
Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving any Servicer in its capacity
as such and not as an originator shall be deemed to be between such Servicer,
the Seller and the Master Servicer, and the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer and the
Depositor shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no obligations,
duties or liabilities with respect to such Servicer except as set forth in
Section 9.10 hereof, but shall have rights thereunder as third party
beneficiaries. It is furthermore understood and agreed by the parties hereto
that the obligations of any Servicer are set forth in their entirety in such
Servicer’s related Servicing Agreement and such Servicer has no obligations
under and is not otherwise bound by the terms of this Agreement.
|
Section
9.10.
|
Assumption
of Servicing Agreement by Trustee.
|
(a) In
the
event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer
(including by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement), after a
period not to exceed ninety days after the issuance of any notice pursuant
to
Section 6.14 or Section 9.28, as applicable, the Trustee shall thereupon assume
all of the rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under
each Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Mortgage Loans. The
Trustee, its designee or any successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee
shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest herein and
therein to the same extent as if such Servicing Agreement had been assigned
to
the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be
relieved of any liability or obligations of the Master Servicer under such
Servicing Agreement accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and
shall be liable to the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer, and hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer from and against
all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) incurred by the Trustee or any NIMS Insurer as a result of such liability
or obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee’s (or
other successor master servicer’s ) assumption (but not its performance, except
to the extent that costs or liability of the Trustee (or other successor master
servicer’s ) are created or increased as a result of negligent or wrongful acts
or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as Master Servicer)
of the Master Servicer’s obligations, duties or responsibilities
thereunder.
(b) The
Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of the Trustee
but
at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all
documents and records relating to each Servicing Agreement and the related

|
To
the
extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage
Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause
the related Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable
Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a
due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with
the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan
is
assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance
with the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Release
of Mortgage Files.
|
(a) Upon
(i)
becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) the receipt
by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been or will
be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will,
or will cause the related Servicer to, promptly notify the Trustee (or the
applicable Custodian) by a certification (which certification shall include
a
statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such
payment that are required to be deposited in the Collection Account maintained
by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 have been or will be so
deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request (on the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C or on the form attached to the Custodial Agreement) the Trustee
or
the applicable Custodian, to deliver to the applicable Servicer the related
Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee
or
the applicable Custodian (with the consent, and at the direction of the
Trustee), shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the applicable
Servicer and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with regard to
such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, the Master Servicer is
authorized, and each Servicer, to the extent such authority is provided for
under the applicable Servicing Agreement, is authorized, to give, as agent
for
the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage
Loan,
an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse)
regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument
of
satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person
or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being
understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such
instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be
chargeable to the Collection Account.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan
and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices and the applicable Servicing
Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be prepared and
furnished to the Trustee by the Master Servicer, or by a Servicer (in form
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution
of
any such proceedings. The Trustee or the applicable Custodian, shall, upon
request of the Master Servicer, or of a Servicer, and delivery to the Trustee
or
the applicable Custodian, of a request for release of documents and a receipt
signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit C, release
the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the Master
Servicer (or the applicable Servicer). Such receipt shall obligate the Master
Servicer or Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee or the
applicable Custodian, as applicable, when the need therefor by the Master
Servicer or Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be
liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer
similar to that hereinabove specified, the receipt shall be released by the
Trustee or the applicable Custodian, as applicable, to the Master Servicer
(or
the applicable Servicer).

to
the Trustee such documents and instruments coming into the possession of the

the
Master Servicer or a Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds
in
respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders subject to the Master Servicer’s right to retain or
withdraw from the Collection Account the Master Servicing Fee and other amounts
provided in this Agreement and to the right of each Servicer to retain its
Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in the related Servicing Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall, and shall (to the extent provided in the applicable
Servicing Agreement) cause each Servicer to, provide access to information
and
documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, any NIMS Insurer,
their respective agents and accountants at any time upon reasonable request
and
during normal business hours, and to Certificateholders that are savings and
loan associations, banks or insurance companies, the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such Office
and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of the Office
of
Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded
without charge but only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal
business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In
fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for
determining the sufficiency of such information.
(b) All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Master Servicer, or any Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether
from
the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds
or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer, or by any Servicer,
for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and
remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided,
however,
that the
Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and
deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to
the
Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable
Servicing Agreement and shall be authorized to remit such funds to the Trustee
in accordance with this Agreement.
(c) The
Master Servicer hereby acknowledges that concurrently with the execution of
this
Agreement, the Trustee shall own or, to the extent that a court of competent
jurisdiction shall deem the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller
to
the Depositor not to constitute a sale, the Trustee shall have a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans and in all Mortgage Files representing such
Mortgage Loans and in all funds and investment property now or hereafter held
by, or under the control of, a Servicer or the Master Servicer that are
collected by any Servicer or the Master Servicer in connection with the Mortgage
Loans, whether as scheduled installments of principal and interest or as full
or
partial prepayments of principal or interest or as Liquidation Proceeds or
Insurance Proceeds or otherwise, and in all proceeds of the foregoing and
proceeds of proceeds (but excluding any fee or other amounts to which a Servicer
is entitled under the applicable Servicing Agreement, or the Master Servicer
or
the Depositor is entitled to hereunder); and the Master Servicer agrees that
so
long as the Mortgage Loans are assigned to and held by the Trustee or the
applicable Custodian, all documents or instruments constituting part of the
Mortgage Files, and such funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which come into
the possession or custody of, or which are subject to the control of, the Master
Servicer or any Servicer shall be held by the Master Servicer or such Servicer
for and on behalf of the Trustee as the Trustee’s agent and bailee for purposes
of perfecting the Trustee’s security interest therein as provided by the
applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable laws.
160
(d) The
Master Servicer agrees that it shall not, and shall not authorize any Servicer
to, create, incur or subject any Mortgage Loans, or any funds that are deposited
in any Custodial Account, Escrow Account or the Collection Account, or any
funds
that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee, to any claim,
lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other
encumbrance, nor assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of
setoff against any Mortgage Loan or any funds collected on, or in connection
with, a Mortgage Loan.

Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer, the Seller
and the Depositor shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action that is not incidental to its duties to master service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement and that in its opinion may
involve it in any expenses or liability; provided,
however,
that the
Master Servicer may in its sole discretion undertake any such action that it
may
deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and
duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the

1066
or other appropriate federal tax or information return for the taxable year
ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the Certificates are
issued. The regular interests and residual interest in each REMIC shall be
as
designated in the Preliminary Statement. For purposes of such designations,
the
interest rate of any regular interest that is computed by taking into account
the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans shall
be
reduced by the amount of any expense paid by the Trust to the extent that (i)
such expense was not taken into account in computing the Net Mortgage Rate
of
any Mortgage Loan, (ii) such expense does not constitute an “unanticipated
expense” of a REMIC within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) and (iii) the amount of such expense was not taken into
account in computing the interest rate of a more junior Class of regular
interests.
175
(b) The
Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the
meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. The latest possible maturity date
for
purposes of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-1(a)(4) will be the Latest Possible
Maturity Date.
(c) The
Trustee shall represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial
proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing
authority with respect thereto. The Trustee shall pay any and all tax related
expenses (not including taxes) of each REMIC, including but not limited to
any
professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or
judicial proceedings with respect to such REMIC that involve the Internal
Revenue Service or state tax authorities, but only to the extent that (i) such
expenses are ordinary or routine expenses, including expenses of a routine
audit
but not expenses of litigation (except as described in (ii)); or (ii) such
expenses or liabilities (including taxes and penalties) are attributable to
the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee in fulfilling its duties
hereunder (including its duties as tax return preparer). The Trustee shall
be
entitled to reimbursement of expenses to the extent provided in clause (i)
above
from the Certificate Account, provided,

the
Trustee shall not be entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in
connection with the preparation of tax returns and other reports as required
by
Section 6.20 and this Section.
(d) The
Trustee shall prepare, sign and file, all of each REMIC’s federal and

if required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other such guidance, the
Trustee shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental authority such
information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the
transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person or organization
pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.860E-2(a)(5) and any person designated in
Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code and (ii) to the Trustee such information as
is
necessary for the Trustee to provide to the Certificateholders such information
or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions.
The
Trustee shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation from the Trust
for
the performance of its duties under this subsection (e); provided,
however,
that
such compensation shall not exceed $5,000 per year.
(f) The
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Holders of Certificates shall take any
action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to create or maintain
the
status of any REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and shall assist
each
other as necessary to create or maintain such status. Neither the Trustee,
the
Master Servicer nor the Holder of any Residual Certificate shall knowingly
take
any action, cause any REMIC 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 result in an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Trustee,
any NIMS Insurer and the Master Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party seeking to take such
action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse
REMIC Event. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC
or the assets therein, or causing any REMIC to take any action, which is not
expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual
Certificate will consult with the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any NIMS Insurer
or their respective designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action
could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and
no
such Person shall take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such
action as to which the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any NIMS Insurer has
advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
176
(g) Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed
on
the related REMIC by federal or state governmental authorities. To the extent
that such taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder, the Trustee shall
pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current or future amounts otherwise
distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate in any such REMIC or,
if
no such amounts are available, out of other amounts held in the Certificate
Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to holders of regular
interests in any such REMIC, as the case may be.
(h) The
Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records
with
respect to each REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(i) No
additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC, except as
expressly provided in this Agreement.
(j) Neither
the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which
any REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

or
before October 15 of each calendar year beginning in 2008, the Trustee shall
deliver to the any NIMS Insurer an Officer’s Certificate stating, without regard
to any actions taken by any party other than the Trustee, the Trustee’s
compliance with provisions of this Section 10.01.

Trustee shall treat each of the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Supplemental
Interest Trust as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) that is owned by the Holders of the Class X
Certificates and that is not an asset of any REMIC and all amounts deposited
into the Basis Risk Reserve Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust shall be
treated as amounts distributed to the Class X Certificateholders.
(m) For
federal income tax purposes, upon any sale of the property held by the Trust
Fund pursuant to Section 7.01(b), any NIM Redemption Amount paid by the Master
Servicer shall not be treated as a portion of the purchase price paid for such
property but shall instead be treated as an amount paid by the Master Servicer
to the Holder of the Class X Certificates in exchange for an interest in the
Class X Certificates immediately before the purchase of the property held by
the
Trust Fund.
177
(n) The
Trustee shall treat the beneficial owners of Certificates (other than the Class
P, Class X, Class LT-R and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a
notional principal contract with respect to the beneficial owners of the Class
X
Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all beneficial
owners of LIBOR Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each
Distribution Date, to the beneficial owners of the Class X Certificates an
aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on
such
Distribution Date on the interest in the Upper Tier REMIC corresponding to
such
Class of Certificates over
(ii)
the
amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such
excess, a “Class I Shortfall”). A Class I Shortfall payable from interest
collections shall be allocated to each Class of Certificates to the extent
that
interest accrued on such Class for the related Accrual Period at the Certificate
Interest Rate for a Class, computed by substituting “REMIC 3 Net Funds Cap” for
the applicable “Net Funds Cap” in the definition thereof, exceeds the amount of
interest accrued for the related Accrual Period based on the applicable Net
Funds Cap, and a Class I Shortfall payable from principal collections shall
be
allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding
principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such
notional principal contract, the beneficial owner of the Class X Certificates
shall be treated as having agreed to pay Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis
Risk Shortfalls to the Owners of the LIBOR Certificates in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates in light of the
foregoing shall not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC
within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the
Certificates of a Class I Shortfall shall be treated for tax purposes as having
been received by the beneficial owners of such Certificates in respect of their
Interests in the Upper Tier REMIC and as having been paid by such beneficial
owners to the Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal
contract. Thus,
each Certificate (other than a Class P, Class R and Class LT-R Certificates)
shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in
the
Upper Tier REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in (and obligations with
respect to) a notional principal contract. For tax purposes, the notional
principal contract shall be deemed to have a value in favor of the Certificates
entitled to receive Basis Risk Shortfalls and Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls
of
$60,557.60 as of the Closing Date.
(o) Notwithstanding
the priority and sources of payments set forth in Article V hereof or otherwise,
the Trustee shall account for all distributions on the Certificates as set
forth
in this Section 10.01. In no event shall any payments of Basis Risk Shortfalls
or Unpaid Basis Risk Shortfalls provided for in this Section 10.01 be treated
as
payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of
Code Section 860G(a)(1).

Prohibited
Transactions and Activities.
|
Neither
the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall sell, dispose of,
or
substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans, except in a disposition pursuant
to
(i) the foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust Fund,
(iii) the termination of each REMIC pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement,
(iv) a substitution pursuant to Article II of this Agreement or (v) a repurchase
of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II of this Agreement, nor acquire any
assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Certificate
Account for gain, nor accept any contributions to any REMIC after the Closing
Date, unless the Trustee and any NIMS Insurer has received an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party causing such sale,
disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution,
or acceptance will not (a) result in an Adverse REMIC Event, (b) affect the
distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates or (c) result in
the
encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).

Section
10.03.
|
Indemnification
with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status.
|
Upon
the
occurrence of an Adverse REMIC Event due to the negligent performance by the
Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee shall
indemnify any NIMS Insurer, the Holder of the related Residual Certificate
or
the Trust Fund, as applicable, against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence; provided,
however,
that the
Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action
or
inaction of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Class X Certificateholders
or the Holder of such Residual Certificate, as applicable, or for any such
Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual
Certificate on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed
to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual
Certificate now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee have any liability (1) for
any
action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with
the
express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this
Agreement or any Servicing Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising
out
of a negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set
forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to
Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates); provided,
however,
that
this sentence shall not apply in connection with any failure by the Trustee
to
comply with the provisions of Subsections 6.01(l) hereof and Subsections 9.25(a)
or (b) hereof. In addition, the Trustee shall not have any liability for the
actions or failure to act of any other party hereto.
|
Section
10.04.
|
REO
Property.
|
(a) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, acting on behalf
of
the Trustee hereunder, shall not, except to the extent provided in the
applicable Servicing Agreement, knowingly permit any Servicer to, rent, lease,
or otherwise earn income on behalf of any REMIC with respect to any REO Property
which might cause an Adverse REMIC Event unless the Master Servicer has advised,
or has caused the applicable Servicer to advise, the Trustee and any NIMS
Insurer in writing to the effect that, under the REMIC Provisions, such action
would not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided
in
its Servicing Agreement) to make reasonable efforts to sell any REO Property
for
its fair market value. In any event, however, the Master Servicer shall, or
shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided in its Servicing
Agreement) to, dispose of any REO Property within three years of its acquisition
by the Trust Fund unless the Master Servicer has received a grant of extension
from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC
Provisions, the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without causing
an Adverse REMIC Event. If the Master Servicer has received such an extension,
then the Trustee, or the Master Servicer, acting on its behalf hereunder, shall,
or shall cause the applicable Servicer to, continue to attempt to sell the
REO
Property for its fair market value for such period longer than three years
as
such extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Trustee has not received
such an extension and the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer, acting
on
behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell the REO Property within
33
months after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or if the Master Servicer has
received such an extension, and the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer
is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending three months before
the close of the Extended Period, the Master Servicer shall cause the applicable
Servicer, before the end of the three year period or the Extended Period, as
applicable, to (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the REO
Property’s fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest
bidder (which may be the applicable Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed
to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or
the
Extended Period, as the case may be.

amendment may (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 or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentages of Class Principal Amount (or Percentage
Interest) of Certificates of each Class, the Holders of which are required
to
consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of 100% of
the
Class Principal Amount (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates
affected thereby. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “Holder” or

the Swap Counterparty, any NIMS Insurer and to the Rating Agencies.
(e) It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Holders under this Section 11.03 to approve

consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Holders
shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may
prescribe.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall not

Transfer
of Servicing.
|
The
Seller agrees that it shall provide written notice to the Master Servicer,
the
Swap Counterparty, any NIMS Insurer and the Trustee thirty days prior to any
proposed transfer or assignment by such Seller of its rights under any Servicing
Agreement or of the servicing thereunder or delegation of its rights or duties
thereunder or any portion thereof to any other Person other than the initial
Servicer under such Servicing Agreement; provided that the Seller shall not
be
required to provide prior notice of (i) any transfer of servicing by Option
One to Xxxxx Fargo that occurs within three months of the Closing Date or to
an
entity that is a Servicer on the Closing Date or (ii) any assignment of any
Servicing rights from the Seller to an affiliate of the Seller. In addition,
the
ability of the Seller to transfer or assign its rights and delegate its duties
under a Servicing Agreement or to transfer the servicing thereunder to a
successor servicer shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Satisfaction
of the conditions to such transfer as set forth in the applicable Servicing
Agreement including, without limitation, receipt of written consent of any
NIMS
Insurer and the Master Servicer to such transfer;
(ii) Such
successor servicer must be qualified to service loans for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx
Mac, and must be a member in good standing of MERS;
(iii) Such
successor servicer must satisfy the seller/servicer eligibility standards in
the
applicable Servicing Agreement, exclusive of any experience in mortgage loan
origination;
(iv) Such
successor servicer must execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Master
Servicer an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer, that contains an assumption by such successor
servicer of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant
and
condition to be performed and observed by the applicable Servicer under the
applicable Servicing Agreement or, in the case of a transfer of servicing to
a
party that is already a Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, an agreement to
add
the related Mortgage Loans to the Servicing Agreement already in effect with
such Servicer;
186
(v) If
the
successor servicer is not a Servicer of Mortgage Loans at the time of the
transfer, there must be delivered to the Trustee and the Master Servicer a
letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such transfer of servicing
will not result in a qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of the then-current
rating of any of the Certificates; and
(vi) The
Seller shall, at its cost and expense, take such steps, or cause the terminated
Servicer to take such steps, as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate
and evidence the transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans to such
successor servicer, including, but not limited to, the following: (A) to the
extent required by the terms of the Mortgage Loans and by applicable federal
and
state laws and regulations, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to timely
mail to each obligor under a Mortgage Loan any required notices or disclosures
describing the transfer of servicing of the Mortgage Loans to the successor
servicer; (B) prior to the effective date of such transfer of servicing, the
Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to transmit to any related insurer
notification of such transfer of servicing; (C) on or prior to the effective
date of such transfer of servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer
to
deliver to the successor servicer all Mortgage Loan Documents and any related
records or materials; (D) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer
of
servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to transfer to the
successor servicer, all funds held by the prior Servicer in respect of the
Mortgage Loans; (E) on or prior to the effective date of such transfer of
servicing, the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the effective
date of the transfer of servicing to the successor servicer, continue to forward
to such successor servicer, within one Business Day of receipt, the amount
of
any payments or other recoveries received by the prior Servicer, and to notify
the successor servicer of the source and proper application of each such payment
or recovery; and (F) the Seller shall cause the prior Servicer to, after the
effective date of transfer of servicing to the successor servicer, continue
to
cooperate with the successor servicer to facilitate such transfer in such manner
and to such extent as the successor servicer may reasonably request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prior Servicer shall be obligated to perform
the items listed above to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing
Agreement.
