In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to
the Trustee in return for the Certificates. As provided herein, the Trustee
will elect that the Trust Fund (other than the Supplemental Loan Account, the
Capitalized Interest Account, the Corridor Contracts and the Corridor Contract
Reserve Fund) be treated for federal income tax purposes as three real estate
mortgage investment conduits (each a "REMIC," or, in the alternative, the
"Lower Tier REMIC," the "Middle Tier REMIC," and the "Master REMIC,"
respectively). Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R Certificate, will
represent ownership of one or more regular interests in the Master REMIC for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class A-R Certificate will represent
ownership of the sole class of residual interest in the Lower Tier REMIC, the
Middle Tier REMIC and the Master REMIC. The Master REMIC will hold as assets
the several classes of uncertificated Middle Tier REMIC Interests (other than
the Class MTR-A-R Interest). The Middle Tier REMIC will hold as assets the
several classes of uncertificated Lower Tier REMIC Interests (other than the
Class LT-A-R Interest). The Lower Tier REMIC will hold as assets all property
of the Trust Fund (other than the Supplemental Loan Account, the Capitalized
Interest Account, the Corridor Contracts and the Corridor Contract Reserve
Fund). Each Lower Tier REMIC Interest (other than the Class LT-A-R Interest)
is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Lower Tier REMIC. Each
Middle Tier REMIC Interest (other than the Class MTR-A-R Interest) is hereby
designated as a regular interest in the Middle Tier REMIC. For federal income
tax purposes, the "latest possible maturity date" of all REMIC regular
interests created hereby will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
The following table sets forth characteristics of the Master REMIC
Certificates, together with the minimum denominations and integral multiples
in excess thereof in which such Classes shall be issuable (except that one

Losses on that Loan Group attributable to any related Subsequent
Recoveries), and distribute the principal on that Loan Group between
the PO Interests (if any) and the Tracking Interests corresponding to
that Loan Group in
7
the same manner that these amounts are allocated to or distributed

remaining Senior Certificates and the Assumed Balance of the Class

Subordinated Portion; and second to the Loan Group's corresponding
Class C Tracking Interest.

Pass-Through Rate, Principal Relocation Payments will be made
proportionately to the outstanding Class B Tracking Interests

the Calculation Rate in respect of the outstanding Class A and Class B
Tracking Interests to equal the Subordinate Pass-Through Rate. With respect to
each Loan Group, if (and to the extent that) the sum of (a) the principal
payments received during the Due Period (as adjusted for amounts allocated to
the related PO Class) and (b) the Realized Losses (as adjusted for amounts
allocated to the related PO Class), are insufficient to make the necessary
reductions of principal on the Class A and Class B Tracking Interests, then
interest will be added to the Loan Group's Class C Tracking Interest.
8
(c) The outstanding aggregate Class A and Class B Tracking
Interests for all Loan Groups will not be reduced below 1
percent of the excess of (i) the aggregate outstanding
principal balances of all Loan Groups (as adjusted for
amounts allocated to the related PO Class) as of the end of
any Due Period over (ii) the aggregate Class Certificate
Balance of the Senior Certificates for all Loan Groups as of
the related Distribution Date (after taking into account
distributions of principal on such Distribution Date).
If (and to the extent that) the limitation in paragraph (c) prevents the
distribution of principal to the Class A and Class B Tracking Interests of a
Loan Group, and if the Loan Group's Class C Tracking Interest has already been
reduced to zero, then the excess principal from that Loan Group (as adjusted
for amounts allocated to the related PO Interest) will be paid to the Class C
Tracking Interests of the other Loan Groups, the aggregate Class A and Class B
Tracking Interests of which are less than one percent of the Subordinated
Portion. If the Loan Group corresponding to the Class C Tracking Interest that
receives such payment has a weighted average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate below
the weighted average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of the Loan Group making the
payment, then the payment will be treated by the Lower Tier REMIC as a
Realized Loss. Conversely, if the Loan Group corresponding to the Class C
Tracking Interest that receives such payment has a weighted average Adjusted
Net Mortgage Rate above the weighted average Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate of the
Loan Group making the payment, then the payment will be treated by the Lower
Tier REMIC as a reimbursement for prior Realized Losses.
The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from
the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Master REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC
regular interest, without creating any shortfall-actual or potential (other
than for credit losses)--to any REMIC regular interest.

applicable Initial Mortgage Loans after the Initial Cut-off Date and all
interest and principal payments on the related Initial Mortgage Loans received

Mortgage Loans, Park Monaco Mortgage Loans and Park Sienna Mortgage Loans),
such delivery may take place within thirty (30) days following the Closing
Date or twenty (20) days following the applicable Supplemental Transfer Date,
as applicable). Such delivery of the Mortgage Files shall be made against
payment by the Depositor of the purchase price, previously agreed to by the
Sellers and Depositor, for the Mortgage Loans. With respect to any Initial
Mortgage Loan that does not have a first payment date on or before the Due
Date in the month of the first Distribution Date or any Supplemental Mortgage
Loan that does not have a first payment date on or before the Due Date in the
month after the related Supplemental Transfer Date, Countrywide shall deposit
into the Distribution Account on or before the Distribution Account Deposit
Date relating to the first applicable Distribution Date, an amount equal to
one month's interest at the related Adjusted Mortgage Rate on the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan.
Countrywide further agrees (x) to cause The Bank of New York to enter
into the Corridor Contract Administration Agreement as Corridor Contract
Administrator and (y) to assign all of its right, title and interest in and to
the interest rate corridor transaction evidenced by each Confirmation, and to
cause all of its obligations in respect of such transaction to be assumed by,

Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the Trust Fund together with the Depositor's right to
require each Seller to cure any breach of a representation or warranty made
herein by such Seller or to repurchase or substitute for any affected Mortgage
Loan in accordance herewith.
(c) In connection with the transfer and assignment set forth in clause
(b) above, the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the
Trustee (or, in the case of the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans that are Initial

the Trustee within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date and in the case
of the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans that are Supplemental Mortgage Loans,
will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee within twenty (20) days
following the applicable Supplemental Transfer Date) for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the following documents or instruments with respect to each
Mortgage Loan so assigned:
(i) (A) the original Mortgage Note endorsed by manual or
facsimile signature in blank in the following form: "Pay to the
order of ____________ without recourse," with all intervening
endorsements showing a complete chain of endorsement from the
originator to the Person endorsing the Mortgage Note (each such
endorsement being sufficient to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note); or
(B) with respect to any Lost Mortgage Note, a lost note
affidavit from Countrywide stating that the original Mortgage Note
was lost or destroyed, together with a copy of such Mortgage Note;
(ii) except as provided below and for each Mortgage Loan that
is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the original recorded Mortgage or a
copy of such Mortgage certified by Countrywide as being a true and
complete copy of the Mortgage (or, in the case of a Mortgage for
which the related Mortgaged Property is located in the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a true copy of the Mortgage certified
as such by the applicable notary) and in the case of each MERS
Mortgage Loan, the original Mortgage, noting the presence of the
MIN of the Mortgage Loans and either language indicating that the
Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan or
if the Mortgage Loan was not a MOM Loan at origination, the
original Mortgage and the assignment thereof to MERS, with
evidence of recording indicated thereon, or a copy of the Mortgage
certified by the public recording office in which such Mortgage
has been recorded;
(iii) in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is not a MERS
Mortgage Loan, a duly executed assignment of the Mortgage (which
may be included in a blanket assignment or assignments), together
with, except as provided below, all interim recorded assignments
of such mortgage (each such assignment, when duly and validly
completed, to be in recordable form and sufficient to effect the
assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof, under the
Mortgage to which the assignment relates); provided that, if the
related Mortgage has not been returned from the applicable public
recording office, such assignment of the Mortgage may exclude the
information to be provided by the recording office; provided,
further, that such assignment of Mortgage need not be delivered in
the case of a Mortgage for which the related Mortgaged Property is
located in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico;
(iv) the original or copies of each assumption, modification,
written assurance or substitution agreement, if any;
48
(v) except as provided below, the original or duplicate
original lender's title policy or a printout of the electronic
equivalent and all riders thereto; and
(vi) in the case of a Cooperative Loan, the originals of the
following documents or instruments:
(A) The Coop Shares, together with a stock power in blank;
(B) The executed Security Agreement;
(C) The executed Proprietary Lease;
(D) The executed Recognition Agreement;
(E) The executed UCC-1 financing statement with evidence of
recording thereon which have been filed in all places required to
perfect the Seller's interest in the Coop Shares and the
Proprietary Lease; and
(F) The executed UCC-3 financing statements or other
appropriate UCC financing statements required by state law,
evidencing a complete and unbroken line from the mortgagee to the
Trustee with evidence of recording thereon (or in a form suitable
for recordation).
In addition, in connection with the assignment of any MERS Mortgage
Loan, each Seller agrees that it will cause, at the Trustee's expense, the
MERS(R) System to indicate that the Mortgage Loans sold by such Seller to the
Depositor have been assigned by that Seller to the Trustee in accordance with
this Agreement (and any Supplemental Transfer Agreement, as applicable) for
the benefit of the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case
of Mortgage Loans which are repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in
such computer files the information required by the MERS(R) System to identify
the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans.
Each Seller further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Master
Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not, alter the
information referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan
sold by such Seller to the Depositor during the term of this Agreement unless
and until such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan that is not a
MERS Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded
Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or (c) the lender's title
policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the requirements of
clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution
and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned
from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause (ii) or
(iii) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to either the
Master Servicer or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case
of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, in
the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, such original Mortgage or such interim
assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon
upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy thereof,
certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but in no event
shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim
assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant
recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date, or,
in the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following
49
the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to
deliver by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason
of the fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate
recording office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because the
related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office,
the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee as promptly as
possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the
Closing Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the
Trustee (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an
assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents
required to be delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer to the
Trustee. In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in
connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the
public recording office requires the presentation of a "lost instruments
affidavit and indemnity" or any equivalent document, because only a copy of
the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or
reconveyance, the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver or cause to be
executed and delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the
case where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or
in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording
office, Countrywide shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of such Mortgage
certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of
the original recorded Mortgage.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment,
and in any event, within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Trustee shall (i) as
the assignee thereof, affix the following language to each assignment of
Mortgage: "CWALT Series 2005-9CB, The Bank of New York, as trustee", (ii)
cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate
public office for real property records and (iii) cause to be delivered for
recording in the appropriate public office for real property records the
assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with respect to any
assignments of Mortgage as to which the Trustee has not received the
information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the
Trustee's obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall
be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event
within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof and that the Trustee need not
cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan (a) the
Mortgaged Property and Mortgage File relating to which are located in
California or (b) in any other jurisdiction (including Puerto Rico) under the
laws of which in the opinion of counsel the recordation of such assignment is
not necessary to protect the Trustee's and the Certificateholders' interest in
the related Mortgage Loan.
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the
Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the
Trustee, will deposit in the Certificate Account the portion of such payment
that is required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 3.05 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within
thirty (30) days after the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Seller shall
either (i) deliver to the Depositor, or at the Depositor's direction, to the
Trustee or other designee of the Depositor the Mortgage File as required
pursuant to this Section 2.01 for each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii)
either (A) substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the Delay Delivery
Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, which
substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner and
50
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 (treating each Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section
2.03); provided, however, that if Countrywide fails to deliver a Mortgage File
for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the thirty (30) day period
provided in the prior sentence, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf
of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall use its best reasonable
efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided for in
Section 2.02 or in Section 2.03 shall not apply to the initial delivery of the
Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather Countrywide
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such failure to deliver. At the end
of such thirty (30) day period the Trustee shall send a Delay Delivery
Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such
thirty (30) day period in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within
twenty (20) days after a Supplemental Transfer Date with respect to all of the
Supplemental Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor on such Supplemental
Transfer Date, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada,
Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall either (i) deliver to the Depositor, or at
the Depositor's direction, to the Trustee or other designee of the Depositor
the Mortgage File as required pursuant to this Section 2.01 for each Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) (A) substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for
the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loan, which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner and
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 (treating each Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section
2.03); provided, however, that if Countrywide fails to deliver a Mortgage File
for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the twenty (20) day period
provided in the prior sentence, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf
of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall use its best reasonable
efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided for in
Section 2.02 or in Section 2.03 shall not apply to the initial delivery of the
Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather Countrywide
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such failure to deliver. At the end
of such twenty (20) day period the Trustee shall send a Delay Delivery
Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such
twenty (20) day period in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.
(d) Subject to the execution and delivery of the related Supplemental
Transfer Agreement as provided in Section 2.01(e) hereof and the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, each Seller sells, transfers, assigns, sets over
and otherwise conveys to the Depositor, without recourse, on each Supplemental
Transfer Date, with respect to each Supplemental Mortgage Loan sold by such
Seller to the Depositor, all the right, title and interest of that Seller in
and to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans sold by it identified in such
Supplemental Transfer Agreement, including all interest and principal received
and receivable by such Seller on or with respect to the related Supplemental
Mortgage Loans on and after the related Supplemental Cut-off Date (to the
extent not applied in computing the Cut-off Date Principal Balance thereof) or

agreed to take the actions specified herein. The Depositor, concurrently with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby sells, transfers, assigns
and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the use and benefit of the
Certificateholders, without recourse, all right title and interest in the
portion of the Trust Fund not otherwise conveyed to the Trust Fund pursuant to
Sections 2.01(a) or (b).
(e) Upon five (5) Business Days written notice to the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is not a Seller) and
the Rating Agencies, on any other Business Day during the Conveyance Period
designated by Countrywide, Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna, if
applicable, the Depositor and the Trustee shall complete, execute and deliver
a Supplemental Transfer Agreement so long as no Rating Agency has provided
notice that the execution and delivery of such Supplemental Transfer Agreement
will result in a reduction or withdrawal of the any ratings assigned to the
Certificates. After the execution and delivery of such Supplemental Transfer
Agreement, on the Supplemental Transfer Date, the Trustee shall set aside in
the Supplemental Loan Account an amount equal to the Aggregate Supplemental
Purchase Amount.

rights relating to them on a Supplemental Transfer Date is subject to the
satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(i) each Supplemental Mortgage Loan conveyed on such Supplemental
Transfer Date satisfies the representations and warranties applicable to it

representation and warranty with respect to a Supplemental Mortgage Loan, the
obligation under Section 2.03(c) of this Agreement of Countrywide, Park

with an Opinion of Counsel or Opinions of Counsel with respect to the tax
treatment of the Trust Fund, to be delivered as provided pursuant to Section

Mortgage Loans will comply with the Pool Characteristics (including the
permitted variances listed therein); provided, that for the purpose of making
these calculations, the characteristics for any Initial Mortgage Loan made

(ix) none of the Sellers or the Depositor shall be insolvent or shall be
rendered insolvent as a result of such transfer; and
(x) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's
Certificate confirming the satisfaction of each of these conditions precedent.

Certificate.
(f) Within seven Business Days after each Supplemental Transfer Date,
upon (1) delivery to the Trustee by the Depositor or Countrywide of the

to each Seller the portion of the Aggregate Supplemental Transfer Amount used
to purchase Supplemental Mortgage Loans from such Seller for Loan Group 1 from
those funds that were set aside in the Supplemental Loan Account pursuant to
Section 2.01(e). The positive difference, if any, between the Aggregate
Supplemental Transfer Amount for Loan Group 1 and the Aggregate Supplemental
Purchase Amount for Loan Group 1 shall be reinvested by the Trustee in the

(g) Neither the Depositor nor the Trust will acquire or hold any
Mortgage Loan that would violate the representations made by Countrywide set
forth in clause (47) of Schedule III-A hereto.
SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the
Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-1 and declares
that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered
to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will hold such
other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee
acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the
State of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) an Initial Certification
in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-1. Based on its review and
examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial
Certification, the Trustee acknowledges that such documents appear regular on
their face and relate to such Initial Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall be
under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are
genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they
have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other
than what they purport to be on their face.
On or about the thirtieth (30th) day after the Closing Date, the Trustee
shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its
own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Delay
Delivery Certification with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans in the form
annexed hereto as Exhibit G-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall deliver
to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf and
on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) a Final Certification
with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as
Exhibit H-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of such review, the Trustee finds any document
constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final
Certification; provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any
determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all
right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable
form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. Countrywide (on
its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
shall promptly correct
54
or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of such
defect and, if Countrywide does not correct or cure such defect within such
period, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage
Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in
the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03, or (b)
purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from the date
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and
Park Sienna) was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase Price of
such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such
substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date,
except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents
by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the
Master Servicer or Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) and the Trustee over the location or
status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall
occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written
notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating
each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate
recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or
status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days
thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any
such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above
shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant
to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the
Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. No
substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage
Loan shall be deposited by Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of
Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) in the Certificate Account on or
prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in
the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit
and certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit N hereto, the
Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to Countrywide (on its own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) and shall
execute and deliver at Countrywide's (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) request such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by Countrywide, in each case without recourse, as shall be
necessary to vest in Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna), or a designee, the Trustee's interest
in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing
provisions Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) repurchases an Mortgage Loan that is a MERS Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and deliver
an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from
MERS to Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) or its designee and shall cause such Mortgage to be
removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules
and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and
Park Sienna) or its designee as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
(b) Upon delivery of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans pursuant to a
Supplemental Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of the
documents identified in any Supplemental Certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit F-2 and declare that it will hold
55
such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the
Mortgage Files, and that it will hold such other assets as are included in the
Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and
future Certificateholders. The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain
possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of California, unless otherwise
permitted by the Rating Agencies.
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Supplemental Transfer
Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide (on its own behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) an Initial
Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2. Based on its review
and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial
Certification, the Trustee shall acknowledge that such documents appear
regular on their face and relate to such Supplemental Mortgage Loan. The
Trustee shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine
said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that
the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose
or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that
they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
On or about the twentieth (20th) day after the Supplemental Transfer
Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and
Park Sienna) a Delay Delivery Certification with respect to the Supplemental
Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-2, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon.
Not later than 90 days after the final Supplemental Transfer Date, the
Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Countrywide
(on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna)
a Final Certification with respect to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit H-2, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
(c) If, in the course of such review of the Mortgage Files relating to
the Supplemental Mortgage Loans, the Trustee finds any document constituting a
part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01,
the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification;
provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any determination as to
whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and
to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is
sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof
under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. Countrywide (on its own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall
promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so
notified of such defect and, if Countrywide does not correct or cure such
defect within such period, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of
Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall either (a) substitute for the
related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from
the date Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park
Monaco and Park Sienna) was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase
Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such
substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date,
except that if the
56
substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this provision is
required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents by the appropriate
recording office, and there is a dispute between either the Master Servicer or
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and
Park Sienna) and the Trustee over the location or status of the recorded
document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within 720 days from
the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to each Rating
Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each Mortgage Loan (a)
which has not been returned by the appropriate recording office or (b) as to
which there is a dispute as to location or status of such Mortgage Loan. Such
notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until the related Mortgage
Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any such substitution pursuant to (a) above
or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery
to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if
any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall not be effected prior to
the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially
in the form of Exhibit N. No substitution is permitted to be made in any
calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price
for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by Countrywide (on its own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) in the
Certificate Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for
the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon
receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of
Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to
Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and
Park Sienna) and shall execute and deliver at Countrywide's (on its own behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) request such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by Countrywide, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in Countrywide (on its own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna), or a
designee, the Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing provisions Countrywide (on its own behalf
and on behalf of Park Granada) repurchases a Supplemental Mortgage Loan that
is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS to
execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to
transfer the Mortgage from MERS to Countrywide (on its own behalf and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) and shall cause such
Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance
with MERS' rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the
MERS(R) System Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park Granada,
Park Monaco and Park Sienna) or its designee as the beneficial holder of such
Mortgage Loan.
(d) The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage
File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the
execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or
instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the
Master Servicer from time to time.
(e) It is understood and agreed that the respective obligations of each
Seller to substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan sold to the
Depositor by it which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 above
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the
Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder against that Seller.
(f) [Reserved].
57
(g) [Reserved].
(h) Neither the Depositor nor the Trust will acquire or hold any
Mortgage Loan that would violate the representations made by Countrywide set
forth in clauses (49), (50), (51) and (52) of Schedule III-A hereto.
SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Sellers
and Master Servicer.
(a) Countrywide hereby makes the representations and warranties set

hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, (ii) Schedule III-A

58
(c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan made pursuant to
Section 2.03(a) or a breach of a representation or warranty with respect to a
Supplemental Mortgage Loan under Section 2.01(e)(i) that materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in that Mortgage
Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to
the other parties. Each Seller hereby covenants that within 90 days of the
earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a
breach of any representation or warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan sold
by it pursuant to Section 2.03(a) and with respect to a breach of a
representation and warranty with respect to a Supplemental Mortgage Loan sold
by it under Section 2.01(e)(i) which materially and adversely affects the
interests of the Certificateholders in that Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such
breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall,
(i) if such 90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the
Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the
manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii)
repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at
the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below; provided, however, that any
such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the
delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05
hereof, if any, and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be
effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for
Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N and the Mortgage File for any
such Substitute Mortgage Loan. The Seller repurchasing a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer
and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or
the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. With respect
to the representations and warranties described in this Section which are made
to the best of a Seller's knowledge, if it is discovered by either the
Depositor, a Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such representation
and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely
affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the
Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding that Seller's lack of knowledge
with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such
inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or
warranty. Any breach of a representation set forth in clauses (44), (45),
(46), (47), (48), (49), (50), (51), (52), (53), (54), (55) or (56) of Schedule
III-A with respect to a Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1, Loan Group 2 and Loan
Group 3 shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the
Certificateholders.
With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, sold to the
Depositor by a Seller, Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) shall deliver to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related
assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are
required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage
assigned as required by Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made
in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled
Payments due with respect to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
related Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of
substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly
payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter that
Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of
59
such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and the Master Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan
Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan
or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and
the related Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the
representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) with respect
to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the
Certificate Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in
connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph, the
Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related
Seller and shall execute and deliver at such Seller's direction such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by Countrywide (on its own
behalf and on behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna), in each
case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in that Seller, or
its designee, the Trustee's interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted
for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
For any month in which a Seller substitutes one or more Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer
will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of
all Substitute Mortgage Loans sold to the Depositor by that Seller as of the
date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
all Deleted Mortgage Loans repurchased by that Seller (after application of
the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of
substitution). The amount of such shortage (the "Substitution Adjustment
Amount") plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances
with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account by Countrywide (on its own behalf and on behalf of Park
Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) on or before the Distribution Account
Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar
month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased
or replaced hereunder.
In the event that a Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the
Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 3.05 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month during which that Seller
became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and
upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File
held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure,
repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and
is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons respecting
such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on
their behalf.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03
shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders.
60
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the
Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with respect
to each Initial Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such other date set
forth herein that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the
Initial Mortgage Loans to it by each Seller, the Depositor had good title to
the Initial Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets,
defenses or counterclaims.
The Depositor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Trustee all
of its rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans including, without
limitation, the representations and warranties of each Seller made pursuant to
Section 2.03(a) hereof, together with all rights of the Depositor to require a
Seller to cure any breach thereof or to repurchase or substitute for any
affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the
Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any of
the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04
(referred to herein as a "breach"), which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating
Agency.
SECTION 2.05. Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with
Substitutions.
(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 shall be made more than
90 days after the Closing Date unless Countrywide delivers to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of
either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect
that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on
"prohibited transactions" on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup
Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively,
or (ii) cause each REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
(b) Upon discovery by the Depositor, a Seller, the Master Servicer, or
the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering
such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of
discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection
therewith, the Trustee shall require Countrywide (on its own behalf and on
behalf of Park Granada, Park Monaco and Park Sienna) at its option, to either
(i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with respect to
substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the affected
Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of
such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a breach of
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03. The Trustee shall
reconvey to Countrywide the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in
the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage
Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained in
Section 2.03.
61
SECTION 2.06. Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust
Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed and
delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in
authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire
ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and
exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and
future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this
Agreement to the best of its ability, to the end that the interests of the
Holders of the Certificates may be adequately and effectively protected.
SECTION 2.07. REMIC Matters.
The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and "latest
possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests
created hereby. The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall
be the Closing Date. The "tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC
hereunder shall be the Trustee and the Trustee shall hold the Tax Matters
Person Certificate. Each REMIC's fiscal year shall be the calendar year.
SECTION 2.08. Covenants of the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the Trustee as
follows:
(a) the Master Servicer shall comply in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement with all reasonable rules and
requirements of the insurer under each Required Insurance Policy;
and
(b) no written information, certificate of an officer, statement
furnished in writing or written report delivered to the Depositor,
any affiliate of the Depositor or the Trustee and prepared by the
Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement will contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary to make such information, certificate, statement or
report not misleading.
62
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall
service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage
loan servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration, the
Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or
through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, subject to the terms
hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the
Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents,
(ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the
Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this
Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation
Proceeds (which for the purpose of this Section includes any Subsequent
Recoveries), and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the
ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that
the Master Servicer shall not 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 and
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 permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which
would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or
result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d)
of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master
Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the
Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders
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 held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer
shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents
requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or
appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Master Servicer is not permitted to
execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon
receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such
documents and deliver them to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer further
is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Subservicer, when the Master Servicer or the Subservicer, as the case may be,
believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan on
the MERS(R) System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan on the MERS(R) System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of
assignment and other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or
re-recording of a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the
Trustee and its successors and assigns.
63
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master
Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the
purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further
as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if
any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the
Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose
of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to
the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
SECTION 3.02. Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Subservicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Mortgage
Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however,
that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing
agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans in a manner
consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the
context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or
to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include
actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master
Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of
the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements
between the Master Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken
through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated
and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or
liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by
virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and
under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All actions of each
Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be
performed as an agent of the Master Servicer with the same force and effect as
if performed directly by the Master Servicer.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed
to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the
Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such
payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.03. Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the
Master Servicer.
The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of
the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or
cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer
hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the
related rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master
Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue
of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor
the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the
64
Trustee or the Depositor be obligated to supervise the performance of the
Master Servicer hereunder or otherwise.
SECTION 3.04. Trustee to Act as Master Servicer.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the Master Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default),
the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that
the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Master Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.09 hereof or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master
Servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from
doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or
substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to,
repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or
2.03 hereof, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of
the Master Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to
Section 7.02 hereof. If the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be
the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default), the Trustee
or its successor shall succeed to any rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer under each subservicing agreement; provided, however, that, if
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP shall no longer be the Master Servicer,
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP shall thereafter continue to be entitled
to receive the Excess Master Servicing Fee, and any successor servicer shall
be entitled to receive only the Basic Master Servicing Fee.
The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the
expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents
and records relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing
agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an
accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute
subservicing agreement to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.05. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Certificate Account;
Distribution Account; Supplemental Loan Account; Capitalized Interest Account;
Corridor Contract Reserve Fund.
(a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance with
the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage servicers to
collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage
Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance Policy.
Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i)
waive any late payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in
connection with the prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the due
dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not greater than 180
days; provided, however, that the Master Servicer cannot extend the maturity
of any such Mortgage Loan 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
such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make Advances on the related
Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 during the
scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage
Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
65
arrangements. The Master Servicer shall not be required to institute or join
in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a
Mortgage, Mortgage Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental
authority with respect to a taking or condemnation) if it reasonably believes
that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or other instrument pursuant to
which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate
Account into which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited
no later than two Business Days after receipt (or, if the current long-term
credit rating of Countrywide is reduced below "A-" by S&P or "A3" by Xxxxx'x,
the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis
within one Business Day of receipt), except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, the following payments and collections remitted by Subservicers or
received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the Cut-off Date
(other than in respect of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on
or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be deposited
hereunder:
(i) all payments on account of principal on the Mortgage Loans,
including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans,
net of the Basic Master Servicing Fee, Prepayment Interest Excess and
any lender-paid mortgage insurance premiums and, for so long as
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP is the Master Servicer, the related
Excess Master Servicing Fee;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and
Liquidation Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing
procedures;
(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or
the Depositor pursuant to Section 3.05(e) in connection with any losses
on Permitted Investments for which it is responsible;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.09(c) and in respect of net monthly rental income
from REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof;
(vi) all Substitution Adjustment Amounts;
(vii) all Advances made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
4.01; and
(viii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a
buydown agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the
monthly payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause
funds to be deposited into the Certificate Account in an amount required to
cause an amount of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan
equal to the amount of interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from
the preceding Due
66
Date at the Mortgage Rate net of the Basic Master Servicing Fee and, for so
long as Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP is the Master Servicer, the
related Excess Master Servicing Fee.
The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer shall
be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of prepayment penalties,
late payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by
the Master Servicer. In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any
amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the
institution maintaining the Certificate Account to withdraw such amount from
the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice
thereof to the Trustee or such other institution maintaining the Certificate
Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate
Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to
all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the
Certificate Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders (other
than any funds attributed to any Excess Master Servicing Fee) until withdrawn
in accordance with Section 3.08.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ix);
(ii) any amount deposited by the Master Servicer or the Depositor
pursuant to Section 3.05(e) in connection with any losses on Permitted
Investments for which it is responsible; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to
be deposited in the Distribution Account.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not
required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw
such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an
Officer's Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in
error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution
Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders
(other than any funds attributed to any Excess Master Servicing Fee) until
disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.08. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals
from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.
(e) Each institution at which the Certificate Account, the Supplemental
Loan Account, the Capitalized Interest Account or the Distribution Account is
maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing by the Master
Servicer in Permitted Investments, which shall mature not later than (i) in
the case of the Certificate Account, the Supplemental Loan Account or the
Capitalized Interest Account, the second Business Day next preceding the
related
67
Distribution Account Deposit Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is
an obligation of the institution that maintains such account, then such
Permitted Investment shall mature not later than the Business Day next
preceding such Distribution Account Deposit Date) and (ii) in the case of the
Distribution Account, the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date
(except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution
that maintains such fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall
mature not later than such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be
sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. Each institution at which the
Supplemental Loan Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein in
Permitted Investments that satisfy the requirements of category (vi) of the
definition thereof, which do not represent a direct issuance from the
respective obligor and which mature and shall be reinvested daily. All such
Permitted Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and gain net of any losses
realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Certificate
Account, or the Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Master
Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly as
provided herein. The amount of any realized losses in the Certificate Account
or the Distribution Account incurred in any such account in respect of any
such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master Servicer in the
Certificate Account or paid to the Trustee for deposit into the Distribution
Account, as applicable. The amount of any losses in the Supplemental Loan
Account or the Capitalized Interest Account incurred in respect of any such
investments shall promptly be deposited by the Depositor in the Supplemental
Loan Account or the Capitalized Interest Account, as applicable. All income or
gain (net of any losses) realized from any such investment of funds on deposit
in the Capitalized Interest Account shall be credited to the Capitalized
Interest Account. The Trustee in its fiduciary capacity shall not be liable
for the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any investment or lack of
investment of funds held in the Certificate Account, the Capitalized Interest
Account, the Supplemental Loan Account or the Distribution Account and made in
accordance with this Section 3.05.
(f) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, each Seller,
each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of
the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof. The Trustee shall give
notice to the Master Servicer, each Seller, each Rating Agency and the
Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Distribution Account,
the Capitalized Interest Account, the Supplemental Loan Account or the
Corridor Contract Reserve Fund prior to any change thereof.
(g) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the Group 1
Senior Certificateholders, the Supplemental Loan Account. On the Closing Date
Countrywide shall remit the Supplemental Amount to the Trustee for deposit in
the Supplemental Loan Account. On each Supplemental Transfer Date, upon
satisfaction of the conditions for such Supplemental Transfer Date set forth
in Section 2.01(e), with respect to the related Supplemental Transfer
Agreement, the Trustee shall pay to each Seller selling Supplemental Mortgage
Loans to the Depositor on such Supplemental Transfer Date the portion of the
Aggregate Supplemental Transfer Amount held in escrow pursuant to Section
2.01(e) as payment of the purchase price for the Supplemental Mortgage Loans
sold by such Seller. If at any time the Depositor becomes aware that the
Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance of Supplemental Mortgage Loans reflected
on any Supplemental Transfer Agreement exceeds the actual Cut-off Date Stated
Principal Balance of the relevant Supplemental Mortgage Loans, the Depositor
may so notify the Trustee
68
and the Trustee shall redeposit into the Supplemental Loan Account the excess
reported to it by the Depositor.
If any funds remain in the Supplemental Loan Account at the end of the
Conveyance Period, to the extent that they represent earnings on the amounts
originally deposited into the Supplemental Loan Account, the Trustee shall
distribute them to the order of the Depositor. The remaining funds shall be
transferred to the Distribution Account to be included as part of principal
distributions to the Class PO Certificates, to the extent of the Remaining PO
Supplemental Loan Amount and to Group 1 Senior Certificates, to the extent of
the Remaining Non-PO Supplemental Loan Amount, as applicable.
(h) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Capitalized Interest Account. On the Closing Date,
Countrywide shall remit the aggregate Capitalized Interest Requirement to the
Trustee for deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account. On each Distribution
Account Deposit Date related to a Conveyance Period Distribution Date, upon
satisfaction of the conditions for such Supplemental Transfer Date set forth
in Section 2.01(e), with respect to the related Supplemental Transfer
Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer from the Capitalized Interest Account to
the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Capitalized Interest
Requirement (which, to the extent required, may include investment earnings on
amounts on deposit therein) with respect to the amount remaining in the
Supplemental Loan Account for the related Distribution Date as identified by
Countrywide in the Supplemental Transfer Agreement.
If any funds remain in the Capitalized Interest Account at the end of
the Conveyance Period, the Trustee shall make the transfer described in the
preceding paragraph if necessary for the remaining Conveyance Period
Distribution Date and the Trustee shall distribute any remaining funds in the
Capitalized Interest Account to the order of the Depositor.
(i) On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish and maintain in its
name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-3
and Class 1-A-5 Certificates, the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund, and shall
deposit $1,000 therein upon receipt from or on behalf of the Depositor of such
amount. All funds on deposit in the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund shall be
held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled with, any other
moneys, including without limitation, other moneys held by the Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the Corridor
Contract Reserve Fund all amounts received in respect of the Corridor
Contracts for the related Interest Accrual Period. The Trustee shall make
withdrawals from the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund to make distributions
pursuant to Section 4.09 exclusively (other than as expressly provided for in
Section 3.08).
Funds in the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund may be invested in Permitted
Investments at the direction of Countrywide Securities Corporation, which
Permitted Investments shall mature not later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the first Distribution Date that follows the date of such investment
(except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution
that maintains the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund, then such Permitted
Investment shall mature not later than such Distribution Date) and shall not
be sold or disposed
69
of prior to maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall
be made in the name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the
Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-3 and Class 1-A-5 Certificates. Any net investment
earnings on such amounts shall be retained therein until withdrawn as provided
in Section 3.08. Any losses incurred in the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund in
respect of any such investments shall be charged against amounts on deposit in
the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund (or such investments) immediately as
realized. The Trustee shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred
in respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in the
Corridor Contract Reserve Fund and made in accordance with this Section 3.05.
The Corridor Contract Reserve Fund will not constitute an asset of any REMIC
created hereunder.
SECTION 3.06. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow
Accounts.
(a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not
violative of current law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one
or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein
all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for
the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable
items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the
Master Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in
violation of applicable law.
(b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may be
made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to
reimburse the Master Servicer out of related collections for any payments made
pursuant to Sections 3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and
insurance premiums) and 3.09 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to
refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest,
if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note, to
Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and terminate the
Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section
9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part of the Trust Fund.
(c) The Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in
Section 3.06(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when
the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but
the Master Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that
such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be
recoverable by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or otherwise.
SECTION 3.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
the Mortgage Loans.
The Master Servicer shall afford each Seller, the Depositor and the
Trustee reasonable access to all records and documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans and all accounts, insurance information and other matters
relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without charge, but
only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office
designated by the Master Servicer.
70
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer will
provide to each Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner which is a savings
and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and reasonable
access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
sufficient to permit such Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner to comply
with applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with
respect to investment in the Certificates; provided that the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder and/or
Certificate Owner for actual expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in
providing such reports and access.
If Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP is not acting as Master Servicer,
the successor Master Servicer shall provide Countrywide Home Loans Servicing
LP with such information as may be necessary to verify the amount of the
Excess Master Servicing Fee for each Distribution Date. If a question should
arise as to the proper amount of the Excess Master Servicing Fee, the
successor Master Servicer shall provide Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP
with access to such books and records and personnel of the successor Master
Servicer as may be necessary to establish the proper amount of the Excess
Master Servicing Fee.
SECTION 3.08. Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the
Distribution Account and the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund.
(a) The Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the
Certificate Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to the Master Servicer (to the extent not previously
retained by the Master Servicer) the servicing compensation to which it
is entitled pursuant to Section 3.14, and to pay to the Master Servicer,
as additional servicing compensation, earnings on or investment income
with respect to funds in or credited to the Certificate Account;
(ii) to reimburse each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee for
unreimbursed Advances made by it, such right of reimbursement pursuant
to this subclause (ii) being limited to amounts received on the Mortgage
Loan(s) in respect of which any such Advance was made;
(iii) to reimburse each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee for
any Nonrecoverable Advance previously made by it;
(iv) to reimburse the Master Servicer for Insured Expenses from
the related Insurance Proceeds;
(v) to reimburse the Master Servicer for (a) unreimbursed
Servicing Advances, the Master Servicer's right to reimbursement
pursuant to this clause (a) with respect to any Mortgage Loan being
limited to amounts received on such Mortgage Loan(s) which represent
late recoveries of the payments for which such advances were made
pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.06 and (b) for unpaid Basic Master
Servicing Fees as provided in Section 3.11 hereof;
71
(vi) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan
or property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant
to Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.11, all amounts received thereon after the
date of such purchase;
(vii) to reimburse the Sellers, the Master Servicer or the
Depositor for expenses incurred by any of them and reimbursable pursuant

(viii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Certificate Account

(ix) on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date, to

Distribution Date and remit such amount to the Trustee for deposit in
the Distribution Account; and
(x) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon
termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any
withdrawal from the Certificate Account pursuant to such subclauses (i), (ii),
(iv), (v) and (vi). Prior to making any withdrawal from the Certificate
Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount
of any previous Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans(s), and
their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.
(b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account for
distributions to Certificateholders, in the manner specified in this Agreement
(and to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that
it is authorized to withhold pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.11).
In addition, the Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals from the
Distribution Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee for the related Distribution
Date;
(ii) to pay to the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in
the Distribution Account;
(iii) to withdraw and return to the Master Servicer any amount
deposited in the Distribution Account and not required to be deposited

made and (y) amounts not otherwise reimbursed to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 3.08(a)(ii) hereof;
72
(v) to reimburse the Trustee for any Nonrecoverable Advance
previously made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(b) hereof, such
right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (v) being limited to
amounts not otherwise reimbursed to the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.08(a)(iii) hereof;
(vi) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon
termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof; and
(vii) if Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP is not the Master

Master Servicing Fee for the related Distribution Date.
(c) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Corridor Contract Reserve
Fund for distribution to the Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-3 and 1-A-5 Certificates
in the manner specified in Section 4.09 (and to withhold from the amounts so
withdrawn the amount of any taxes that it is authorized to retain pursuant to
the last paragraph of Section 8.11). In addition, the Trustee may from time to
time make withdrawals from the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund for the
following purposes:
(i) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Corridor Contract
Reserve Fund and not required to be deposited therein; and
(ii) to clear and terminate the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund
upon the earlier of (x) the reduction of the Class Certificate Balances
of the Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-3 and Class 1-A-5 Certificates to zero and
(y) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
SECTION 3.09. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of Primary
Insurance Policies.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each Mortgage
Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at least
equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements
securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (y) the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (z) an amount such that the
proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or
the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. Each such policy of standard hazard
insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that contains, a
standard mortgagee clause. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under
any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts released to the Mortgagor
in accordance with the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer
in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating
monthly distributions to the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee
for their benefit, be added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs
shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer out of late payments by the
related Mortgagor or out of Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries to
the extent permitted by Section 3.08 hereof. It is understood and agreed that
no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of
73
any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired in respect of a Mortgage
other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any
time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the
Mortgaged Property is located at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan
in a federally designated special flood hazard area and such area is
participating in the national flood insurance program, the Master Servicer
shall cause flood insurance to be maintained with respect to such Mortgage
Loan. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the least of (i) the
outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the
replacement value of the improvements which are part of such Mortgaged
Property, and (iii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the
related Mortgaged Property under the national flood insurance program.
(b) The Master Servicer shall not take any action which would result in
non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss which,
but for the actions of the Master Servicer, would have been covered
thereunder. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such
Primary Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance
of the Certificates and is required to be kept in force hereunder unless the
replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy
is maintained with a Qualified Insurer.
Except with respect to any Lender PMI Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall not be required to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy (i)
with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or
equal to 80% as of any date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new
appraised value or (ii) if maintaining such Primary Insurance Policy is
prohibited by applicable law. With respect to the Lender PMI Mortgage Loans,
the Master Servicer shall maintain the Primary Insurance Policy for the life
of such Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise provided for in the related Mortgage
Note or prohibited by law.
The Master Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the premiums
on each Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise recoverable
shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related liquidation
proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries.
(c) In connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the Trustee
and Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary Insurance
Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies respecting
defaulted Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under
any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the Certificate Account.
SECTION 3.10. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property
subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer
shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any
due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent
permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the
extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage
under any Required Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master
Servicer is not
74
required to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person
to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been conveyed or is proposed to be
conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the Mortgage Note and
Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such Mortgage
Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or
Mortgage as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the Master
Servicer is prohibited by law from enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or
if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy would be adversely affected,
or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the Master Servicer is
authorized, subject to Section 3.10(b), to take or enter into an assumption
and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has
been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable
under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law, the
Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided that the Mortgage Loan shall
continue to be covered (if so covered before the Master Servicer enters such
agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Master Servicer,
subject to Section 3.10(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the
insurers under any Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of
liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor
is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and
becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section by
reason of any transfer or assumption which the Master Servicer reasonably
believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the Master Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale
clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.10(a) hereof, in any case in which
a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such
Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the
Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required
releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to
the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute
the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to
be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note
or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out
the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any
applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged
Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material
term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition, the substitute
Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Master Servicer
in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with
each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered
to the Trustee for execution by it, the Master Servicer shall deliver an
Officer's Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the
requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith. The
Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the
original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of
the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all
purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all
other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected
by the Master Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional
servicing compensation.
75
SECTION 3.11. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase of
Certain Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon
or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of
the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments.
In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer
shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or
advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities and meet the requirements of the insurer under any Required
Insurance Policy; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be
required to expend its own funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards
the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such
restoration and/or foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of
the Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that
such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds
(respecting which it shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the
Certificate Account). The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other
costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however,
that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the liquidation
proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries with respect to the related Mortgaged
Property, as provided in the definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Master
Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer is
contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is
located within a 1 mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure Plan for
the Hazardous Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with
environmental or hazardous waste risks known to the Master Servicer, the
Master Servicer will, prior to acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such
risks and only take action in accordance with its established environmental
review procedures.
With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee's name shall
be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the Trustee hereunder
and not in its individual capacity. The Master Servicer shall ensure that the
title to such REO Property references the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and
the Trustee's capacity thereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO
Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected
by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such REO Property in the same
manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such REO
Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of
the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof,
as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The
Master Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee a statement with
respect to each REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental
income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the maintenance
of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Trustee to
comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net
monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in
the Certificate Account no later than the close of business on each
Determination Date. The Master Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and
withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to
foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of
the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and
any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the
cancellation of indebtedness by certain
76
financial entities, by preparing such tax and information returns as may be
required, in the form required, and delivering the same to the Trustee for
filing.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property as
soon as practicable in a manner that maximizes the Liquidation Proceeds
thereof, but in no event later than three years after its acquisition by the
Trust Fund. In that event, the Trustee shall have been supplied with an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such
Mortgaged Property subsequent to a three-year period, if applicable, will not
result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC
hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding, the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property
(subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) after the
expiration of such three-year period. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be
rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the
production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or
pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal,
state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property
under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer has
agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the
imposition of any such taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose
obligor is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of
a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause compliance with the provisions
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto)
necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to
the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds
of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on such
Mortgage Loan.
The decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage
Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that the
proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of bringing
such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO
Properties, net of reimbursement to the Master Servicer for expenses incurred
(including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and
net of unreimbursed Basic Master Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing
Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the
related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such
Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for
all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and
interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the
Certificate Account. To the extent the net income received during any calendar
month is in excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and
accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on the related Mortgage Loan for
such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a partial
prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.
77
The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any
income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of
priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Basic Master Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the
Master Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the
Certificate Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that
were previously withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
3.08(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid
interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any such
Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at
the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the month in which
such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of
principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation
of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by the Master Servicer as
additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.14.
The Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to
purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which is
151 days or more delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer may only exercise this right on or before
the next to the last day of the calendar month in which such Mortgage Loan
became 151 days delinquent (such month, the "Eligible Repurchase Month");
provided further, that any such Mortgage Loan which becomes current but
thereafter becomes delinquent may be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant
to this Section in any ensuing Eligible Repurchase Month. The Purchase Price
for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account and the Trustee, upon receipt of a certificate from the
Master Servicer in the form of Exhibit N hereto, shall release or cause to be
released to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared
by the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, as
shall be necessary to vest in the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage
Loan released pursuant hereto and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall
succeed to all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage
Loan and all security and documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be
an assignment outright and not for security. The purchaser of such Mortgage
Loan shall thereupon own such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents,
free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with
respect thereto.
(b) The Master Servicer may agree to a modification of any Mortgage Loan
(the "Modified Mortgage Loan") if (i) the modification is in lieu of a
refinancing and (ii) the Mortgage Rate on the Modified Mortgage Loan is
approximately a prevailing market rate for newly-originated mortgage loans
having similar terms and (iii) the Master Servicer purchases the Modified
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund as described below. Effective immediately
after the modification, and, in any event, on the same Business Day on which
the modification occurs, all interest of the Trustee in the Modified Mortgage
Loan shall automatically be deemed transferred and assigned to the Master
Servicer and all benefits and burdens of ownership thereof, including the
right to accrued interest thereon from the date of modification and the risk
of default thereon, shall pass to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer
shall promptly deliver to the Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer
to the effect that all requirements of this paragraph have been satisfied with
respect to the Modified Mortgage Loan. For federal income tax purposes, the
Trustee shall account for such purchase as a prepayment in full of the
Modified Mortgage Loan.
78
The Master Servicer shall deposit the Purchase Price for any Modified
Mortgage Loan in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05 within one
Business Day after the purchase of the Modified Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt by
the Trustee of written notification of any such deposit signed by a Servicing
Officer, the Trustee shall release to the Master Servicer the related Mortgage
File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment,
in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Master
Servicer any Modified Mortgage Loan previously transferred and assigned
pursuant hereto. The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to indemnify the
Trust Fund against any liability for any "prohibited transaction" taxes and
any related interest, additions, and penalties imposed on the Trust Fund
established hereunder as a result of any modification of a Mortgage Loan
effected pursuant to this subsection (b), any holding of a Modified Mortgage
Loan by the Trust Fund or any purchase of a Modified Mortgage Loan by the
Master Servicer (but such obligation shall not prevent the Master Servicer or
any other appropriate Person from in good faith contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Master Servicer from
withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of
such proceedings). The Master Servicer shall have no right of reimbursement
for any amount paid pursuant to the foregoing indemnification, except to the
extent that the amount of any tax, interest, and penalties, together with
interest thereon, is refunded to the Trust Fund or the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.12. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately
notify the Trustee by delivering, or causing to be delivered a "Request for
Release" substantially in the form of Exhibit N. Upon receipt of such request,
the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master
Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the Master Servicer's direction execute and
deliver to the Master Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of
reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument
releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the Master
Servicer, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of
cancellation thereon. The Master Servicer is authorized to cause the removal
from the registration on the MERS System of such Mortgage and to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them,
any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full
release. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction
or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor. From
time to time and as shall be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of
any Mortgage Loan, including for such purpose, collection under any policy of
flood insurance, any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the
purposes of effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the
lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or
the Mortgage or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the
Trustee shall, upon delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit M signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to
the Master Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the
Master Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be
returned to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no
longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof
are deposited in the Certificate Account, in which case the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit N,
signed by a Servicing Officer.
79
If the Master Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure
proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or
any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce
any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or
otherwise available at law or in equity.
SECTION 3.13. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master
Servicer to be Held for the Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all
documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the
possession of the Master Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to
the Trustee for any funds received by the Master Servicer or which otherwise
are collected by the Master Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection
of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds and any
Subsequent Recoveries, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in
the Certificate Account, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on
behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property
of the Trustee, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The
Master Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any
Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Certificate Account,
Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or
may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy,
writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or
otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds
collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any
such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.14. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall
be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Certificate Account an amount equal
to the sum of the Basic Master Servicing Fee and the Excess Master Servicing
Fee; provided, that the aggregate Basic Master Servicing Fee with respect to
any Distribution Date shall be reduced (i) by an amount equal to the aggregate
of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on all of the Mortgage Loans, if any,
with respect to such Distribution Date, but not to exceed the Compensating
Interest for such Distribution Date, and (ii) with respect to the first
Distribution Date, an amount equal to any amount to be deposited into the
Distribution Account by the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and not so
deposited; provided further, that if a successor to Countrywide Home Loans
Servicing LP shall be appointed as Master Servicer for any reason, the Excess
Master Servicing Fee for each Distribution Date following such appointment
shall be paid, pursuant to this Section 3.14, to Countrywide Home Loans
Servicing LP pursuant to Section 3.08(b)(vii) hereof, and not to such
successor to the Master Servicer.
80
Additional servicing compensation in the form of Excess Proceeds,
Prepayment Interest Excess, prepayment penalties, assumption fees, late
payment charges and all income and gain net of any losses realized from
Permitted Investments shall be retained by the Master Servicer to the extent
not required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
3.05 hereof. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its master servicing activities hereunder
(including payment of any premiums for hazard insurance and any Primary
Insurance Policy and maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage
required by this Agreement) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided in this Agreement.
SECTION 3.15. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Master Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to
comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders and/or Certificate
Owners and the examiners and supervisory agents of the OTS, the FDIC and such
other authorities, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
required by applicable regulations of the OTS and the FDIC. Such access shall
be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request
and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master
Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit the obligation of the Master
Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of the Master Servicer to provide
access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this Section.
As part of its servicing activities, the Master Servicer shall furnish
in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information (i.e., favorable or
unfavorable) on its borrower credit files related to the Mortgage Loans to the
nationally recognized credit bureaus on a monthly basis.
SECTION 3.16. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee on or
before 80 days after the end of the Master Servicer's fiscal year, commencing
with its 2005 fiscal year, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to the signer
thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the
preceding calendar year and of the performance of the Master Servicer under
this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision and (ii) to the
best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer
has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year,
or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation,
specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status
thereof. The Trustee shall forward a copy of each such statement to each
Rating Agency.
SECTION 3.17. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements.
On or before 80 days after the end of the Master Servicer's fiscal year,
commencing with its 2005 fiscal year, the Master Servicer at its expense shall
cause a nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent public
accountants (who may also render other services to the
81
Master Servicer, a Seller or any affiliate thereof) which is a member of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to
the Trustee and the Depositor to the effect that such firm has examined
certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans
under this Agreement or of mortgage loans under pooling and servicing
agreements substantially similar to this Agreement (such statement to have
attached thereto a schedule setting forth the pooling and servicing agreements
covered thereby) and that, on the basis of such examination, conducted
substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and
FHLMC, such servicing has been conducted in compliance with such pooling and
servicing agreements except for such significant exceptions or errors in
records that, in the opinion of such firm, the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for
FNMA and FHLMC requires it to report. In rendering such statement, such firm
may rely, as to matters relating to direct servicing of mortgage loans by
Subservicers, upon comparable statements for examinations conducted
substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and
FHLMC (rendered within one year of such statement) of independent public
accountants with respect to the related Subservicer. Copies of such statement
shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner
upon request at the Master Servicer's expense, provided that such statement is
delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.18. Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.
The Master Servicer shall for so long as it acts as master servicer
under this Agreement, obtain and maintain in force (a) a policy or policies of
insurance covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations
as Master Servicer hereunder and (b) a fidelity bond in respect of its
officers, employees and agents. Each such policy or policies and bond shall,
together, comply with the requirements from time to time of FNMA or FHLMC for
persons performing servicing for mortgage loans purchased by FNMA or FHLMC. In
the event that any such policy or bond ceases to be in effect, the Master
Servicer shall obtain a comparable replacement policy or bond from an insurer
or issuer, meeting the requirements set forth above as of the date of such
replacement.
SECTION 3.19. Corridor Contracts.
Countrywide shall cause The Bank of New York to enter into the Corridor
Contract Administration Agreement and shall assign all of its right, title and
interest in and to the interest rate corridor transactions evidenced by the
Corridor Contracts to, and shall cause all of its obligations in respect of
such transactions to be assumed by, the Corridor Contract Administrator, on
the terms and conditions set forth in the Corridor Contract Assignment
Agreement. The Trustee's rights to receive certain proceeds of the Corridor
Contracts as provided in the Corridor Contract Administration Agreement will
be assets of the Trust Fund but will not be assets of any REMIC. The Trustee,
shall deposit any amounts received from time to time with respect to any
Corridor Contract into the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund. The Master Servicer
shall deposit any amounts received on behalf of the Trustee from time to time
with respect to any Corridor Contract into the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund.
82
No later than two Business Days following each Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall provide the Corridor Contract Administrator with information
regarding the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the Class(es) of
Certificates related to each Corridor Contract after all distributions on such
Distribution Date.
The Trustee shall direct the Corridor Contract Administrator to
terminate a Corridor Contract upon the occurrence of certain events of default
or termination events to the extent specified thereunder. Upon any such
termination, the applicable Corridor Contract Counterparty will be obligated
to pay the Corridor Contract Administrator an amount in respect of such
termination, and the portion of such amount that is distributable to the Trust
Fund pursuant to the Corridor Contract Administration Agreement and received
by the Trustee or the Master Servicer for the benefit of the Trust Fund, as
the case may be, in respect of such termination shall be deposited and held in
the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund and applied on future Distribution Dates to
pay any related Yield Supplement Amount on the Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-3, Class
2 A-1, Class 2 A-3, Class 2 A-6, Class 2 A-8 and Class 2 A-14 Certificates, as
applicable. Any amounts remaining in the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund, after
the earlier of (i) the date on which the Class Certificate Balances of the
Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-3, Class 2 A-1, Class 2 A-3, Class 2 A-6, Class 2 A-8
and Class 2 A-14 Certificates have been reduced to zero and (ii) the
applicable Corridor Contract Scheduled Termination Date, will be distributed
to Countrywide Securities Corporation.
83
ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS AND
ADVANCES BY THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 4.01. Advances.
(a) The Master Servicer shall determine on or before each Master
Servicer Advance Date whether it is required to make an Advance pursuant to
the definition thereof. If the Master Servicer determines it is required to
make an Advance, it shall, on or before the Master Servicer Advance Date,
either (i) deposit into the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance
or (ii) make an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Certificate
Account that any Amount Held for Future Distribution has been used by the
Master Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance. Any
funds so applied shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the
Certificate Account no later than the close of business on the next Master
Servicer Advance Date. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
from the Certificate Account for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant
to this Section as provided in Section 3.08. The obligation to make Advances
with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue if such Mortgage Loan has
been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and the related Mortgaged Property has
not been liquidated.
(b) If the Master Servicer determines that it will be unable to comply
with its obligation to make the Advances as and when described in the second
sentence of Section 4.01(a), it shall use its best efforts to give written
notice thereof to the Trustee (each such notice a "Trustee Advance Notice";
and such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than 3:00 P.M., New York
time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Master Servicer
Advance Date, specifying the amount that it will be unable to deposit (each
such amount an "Advance Deficiency") and certifying that such Advance
Deficiency constitutes an Advance hereunder and is not a Nonrecoverable
Advance. If the Trustee receives a Trustee Advance Notice on or before 3:30
P.M., New York time on a Master Servicer Advance Date, the Trustee shall, not
later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the related Distribution Date, deposit
in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Advance Deficiency
identified in such Trustee Advance Notice unless it is prohibited from so
doing by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not
be required to make such deposit if the Trustee shall have received written
notification from the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer has deposited
or caused to be deposited in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such
Advance Deficiency. All Advances made by the Trustee pursuant to this Section
4.01(b) shall accrue interest on behalf of the Trustee at the Trustee Advance
Rate from and including the date such Advances are made to but excluding the
date of repayment, with such interest being an obligation of the Master
Servicer and not the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer shall reimburse the
Trustee for the amount of any Advance made by the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 4.01(b) together with accrued interest, not later than the fifth day
following the related Master Servicer Advance Date. In the event that the
Master Servicer does not reimburse the Trustee in accordance with the
requirements of the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall immediately (a)
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 3.04, assume all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer hereunder.
84
(c) The Master Servicer shall, not later than the close of business on
the second Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date, deliver
to the Trustee a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee) that indicates (i) the Mortgage Loans with respect to which the
Master Servicer has determined that the related Scheduled Payments should be
advanced and (ii) the amount of the related Scheduled Payments. The Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on the related Master Servicer Advance
Date an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount of
any proposed Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable
Advance.

(z) to the Class PO-3 Component, any related Class PO Deferred
Amount, up to an amount not to exceed the amount calculated
pursuant to clause (A) of the definition of the Subordinated
Principal Distribution Amount actually received or advanced for
such Distribution Date (with such amount to be allocated first
from amounts calculated pursuant to (A)(i) and (ii) then (iii) of
the definition of Subordinated Principal Distribution Amount).
(4) On each Distribution Date, after making the distributions
described in Section 4.02(a)(1), 4.02(a)(2) and Section 4.02(a)(3)
above, the remaining Available Funds from each Loan Group will be
distributed to the Senior Certificates to the extent provided in Section
4.05 hereof.
(5) On each Distribution Date, Available Funds from all of the
Loan Groups remaining after making the distributions described in
Section 4.02(a)(1), Section 4.02(a)(2), Section 4.02(a)(3) and Section
4.02(a)(4) above, will be distributed to the Subordinated Certificates
and the Class A-R Certificates in the following order and priority and,
in each case, to the extent of such funds remaining:
87
(A) to the Class M Certificates, an amount allocable
to interest equal to the Class Optimal Interest Distribution
Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date;
(B) to the Class M Certificates, an amount allocable
to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such
Distribution Date until the Class Certificate Balance
thereof is reduced to zero;
(C) to the Class B-1 Certificates, an amount allocable
to interest equal to the Class Optimal Interest Distribution
Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date;
(D) to the Class B-1 Certificates, an amount allocable
to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such
Distribution Date until the Class Certificate Balance
thereof is reduced to zero;
(E) to the Class B-2 Certificates, an amount allocable
to interest equal to the Class Optimal Interest Distribution
Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date;
(F) to the Class B-2 Certificates, an amount allocable
to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such
Distribution Date until the Class Certificate Balance
thereof is reduced to zero;
(G) to the Class B-3 Certificates, an amount allocable
to interest equal to the amount of the Class Optimal
Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such
Distribution Date;
(H) to the Class B-3 Certificates, an amount allocable
to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such
Distribution Date until the Class Certificate Balance
thereof is reduced to zero;
(I) to the Class B-4 Certificates, an amount allocable
to interest equal to the amount of the Class Optimal
Interest Distribution Amount for such Class for such
Distribution Date;
(J) to the Class B-4 Certificates, an amount allocable
to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such
Distribution Date until the Class Certificate Balance
thereof is reduced to zero;
(K) to the Class B-5 Certificates, an amount allocable
to interest equal to the Class Optimal Interest Distribution
Amount for such Class for such Distribution Date;
(L) to the Class B-5 Certificates, an amount allocable
to principal equal to its Pro Rata Share for such
Distribution Date until the Class Certificate Balance
thereof is reduced to zero; and
88
(M) to the Class A-R Certificates, any remaining funds
in the Trust Fund.
On any Distribution Date, amounts distributed in respect of Class PO
Deferred Amounts will not reduce the Component Balance of the related Class PO
Component.
On any Distribution Date, to the extent the Amount Available for Senior
Principal for a Loan Group is insufficient to make the full distribution
required to be made pursuant to clause (a)(1)(iv)(x), (a)(2)(iv)(x) or
(a)(3)(iv)(x), as applicable, (A) the amount distributable on the related
Class PO Component in respect of principal pursuant to such subclause shall be
equal to the product of (1) the related Amount Available for Senior Principal
and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the related PO Formula Principal
Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of such PO Formula Principal
Amount and the related Senior Principal Distribution Amount and (B) the amount
distributable on the Senior Certificates of the related Senior Certificate
Group, other than the related Class PO Component, in respect of principal
shall be equal to the product of (1) the Amount Available for Senior Principal
for such Loan Group and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Senior
Principal Distribution Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of such
Senior Principal Distribution Amount and the related PO Formula Principal
Amount.
(b) On each Distribution Date prior to and including the applicable
Accrual Termination Date with respect to each Class or Component of Accrual
Certificates, the Accrual Amount for such Class or Component for such
Distribution Date shall not (except as provided in the second to last sentence
in this paragraph) be distributed as interest with respect to such Class or
Component of Accrual Certificates but shall instead be added to the related
Class Certificate Balance of such Class on the related Distribution Date. With
respect to any Distribution Date prior to and including the applicable Accrual
Termination Date on which principal payments on any Class or Component of
Accrual Certificates are distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(1)(iii),
Section 4.02(a)(2)(iii) or Section 4.02(a)(3)(iii), as applicable, the related
Accrual Amount shall be deemed to have been added on such Distribution Date to
the related Class Certificate Balance of such Class or Component of Accrual
Certificates (and included in the amount distributable on the related Class or
Classes or Component of Accretion Directed Certificates pursuant to Section
4.02(a)(1)(iii), Section 4.02(a)(2)(iii) or Section 4.02(a)(3)(iii), as
applicable, for such Distribution Date) and the related distribution thereon
shall be deemed to have been applied concurrently towards the reduction of all
or a portion of the amount so added and, to the extent of any excess, towards
the reduction of the Class Certificate Balance or Component Balance of such
Class or Component of Accrual Certificates immediately prior to such
Distribution Date. Notwithstanding any such distribution, the Accrual
Certificates shall continue to be a Class of Accrual Certificates on each
subsequent Distribution Date until the applicable Accrual Termination Date.
(c) On each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, notwithstanding the allocations and priorities set forth in
Section 4.02(a)(1)(iv)(y), the portion of Available Funds available to be
distributed as principal of the Group 1 Senior Certificates (other than the
related Class PO Component) shall be distributed concurrently, as principal,
on such Classes, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class Certificate
Balances, until the Class Certificate Balances thereof are reduced to zero.
89
(d) On each Distribution Date, the amount referred to in clause (i) of
the definition of Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for each Class of
Certificates for such Distribution Date shall be reduced for each Class of
Senior Certificates of a Senior Certificate Group and each Class of
Subordinated Certificates by (i) the related Class' pro rata share of Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Loan Group based (x) with respect to a
Class of Senior Certificates on the related Class Optimal Interest
Distribution Amount and (y) with respect to a Class of Subordinated
Certificates on and prior to the second Senior Termination Date on the Assumed
Interest Amount or after such second Senior Termination Date, the related
Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, without
taking into account such Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and (ii) the
related Class' Allocable Share of (A) the interest portion of a Debt Service
Reduction and (B) each Relief Act Reduction for the Mortgage Loans in the
related Loan Group (or after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any
Mortgage Loan) incurred during the calendar month preceding the month of such
Distribution Date.
(e) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
4.02(a)(4), if, on any Distribution Date, with respect to any Class of
Subordinated Certificates (other than the Class of Subordinated Certificates
then outstanding with the highest priority of distribution), the sum of the
related Class Subordination Percentages of such Class and of all Classes of
Subordinated Certificates which have a higher numerical Class designation than
such Class (the "Applicable Credit Support Percentage") is less than the
Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution
of Principal Prepayments will be made to any such Classes (the "Restricted
Classes") and the amount of such Principal Prepayments otherwise distributable
to the Restricted Classes shall be distributed to any Classes of Subordinated
Certificates having lower numerical Class designations than such Class, pro
rata, based on their respective Class Certificate Balances immediately prior
to such Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the sequential order
provided in Section 4.02(a)(4).
(f) If Subsequent Recoveries have been received with respect to a
Liquidated Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be
applied sequentially, in the order of payment priority, to increase the Class
Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates to which Realized Losses
have been allocated, but in each case by not more than the amount of Realized
Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section
4.04. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in
respect of the Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount on the amount of
such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date
on which such increase occurs. Any such increases shall be applied pro rata to
the Certificate Balance of each Certificate of such Class.
SECTION 4.03. [Reserved]
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
(a) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Trustee shall determine
the total amount of Realized Losses with respect to the related Distribution
Date. For purposes of allocating losses to the Subordinated Certificates, the
Class M Certificates will be deemed to have a lower numerical Class
designation, and to be of a higher relative payment priority, than each other
Class of Subordinated Certificates.
90
Realized Losses with respect to any Distribution Date shall be allocated
as follows:
(i) the applicable PO Percentage of any Realized Loss on a
Mortgage Loan in a Loan Group shall be allocated to the related Class PO
Component, until the Component Balance thereof is reduced to zero; and
(ii) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Realized Loss shall
be allocated first to the Subordinated Certificates in reverse order of
their respective numerical Class designations (beginning with the Class
of Subordinated Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical
Class designation) until the respective Class Certificate Balance of
each such Class is reduced to zero, and second to the related Senior
Certificates (other than any Notional Amount Certificates, if
applicable, and the related Class PO Component), pro rata on the basis
of their respective Class Certificate Balances or, in the case of any
Class of Accrual Certificates or Accrual Component, on the basis of the
lesser of their respective Class Certificate Balance or Component
Balance, as applicable, and their respective initial Class Certificate
Balances or Component Balance, as applicable, in each case immediately
prior to the related Distribution Date, until the respective Class
Certificate Balance or Component Balance of each such Class or Component
is reduced to zero; provided, however, that the Non-PO Percentage of any
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 otherwise
allocable on any Distribution Date to the Class 1-A-5 Certificates will
instead be allocated to the Class 1-A-6 Certificates, until its Class
Certificate Balance is reduced to zero and the Non-PO Percentage of any
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 otherwise
allocable on any Distribution Date to the Class 2-A-1 Certificates will
instead be allocated to the Class 2-A-2 Certificates, until its Class
Certificate Balance is reduced to zero.
(b) The Class Certificate Balance of the Class of Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation
shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the sum of (i) the amount of any
payments on the Class PO Certificates in respect of Class PO Deferred Amounts
and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Class Certificate
Balances of all outstanding Classes of Certificates (after giving effect to
the distribution of principal and the allocation of Realized Losses and Class
PO Deferred Amounts on such Distribution Date) exceeds the sum of the Pool
Stated Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date and any amounts
in the Supplemental Loan Account as of that Distribution Date.
(c) Any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Certificates or any
reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant
to Section 4.04(a) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class in proportion to their respective Certificate Balances.
(d) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or to any
Component or any reduction in the Certificate Balance of a Certificate,
pursuant to Section 4.04(a) above shall be accomplished by reducing the
Certificate Balance or Component Balance thereof, as applicable, immediately
following the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with the definition of "Certificate Balance" or "Component
Balance," as the case may be. Except as provided in Section 4.04(a)(i) above,
all Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Component Certificates will be
allocated pro rata to the related Components.
91
SECTION 4.05. Cross-Collateralization
(a) On each Distribution Date after the first Senior Termination Date
but prior to the earlier of the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date and the
second Senior Termination Date, the Trustee shall distribute the Non-PO
Formula Principal Amount for the Loan Group relating to the Senior Certificate
Group that will have been paid in full, to the remaining Senior Certificate
Groups, other than the related Class PO Component, if any, pro rata, based on
their respective Class Certificate Balances.
(b) If on any Distribution Date the aggregate Class Certificate Balance
of a Senior Certificate Group, other than the related Class PO Component,
after giving effect to distributions to be made on that Distribution Date, is
greater than the Non-PO Pool Balance for the related Loan Group (the
"Undercollateralized Group"), then the Trustee shall reduce the Available
Funds of the other Loan Groups that are not undercollateralized (the
"Overcollateralized Groups"), and distribute such funds as follows:
(1) to add to the Available Funds of the Undercollateralized Group an
amount equal to the Available Funds of the Overcollateralized Group(s)
remaining after making distributions to the Senior Certificate Group of
the Overcollateralized Group(s) on such Distribution Date pursuant to
Section 4.02; and
(2) to the Senior Certificate Group, other than the related Class PO
Component, if any, of the Undercollateralized Group, to the extent of
the principal portion of Available Funds of the Overcollateralized
Group(s) remaining after making distributions to the Senior Certificate
Group of the Overcollateralized Group(s) on such Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 4.02, until the aggregate Class Certificate Balance
of the Senior Certificate Group, other than the related Class PO
Component, of such Undercollateralized Group(s) equals the Non-PO Pool
Balance in the related Loan Group(s).
If more than one Overcollateralized Group exists on any Distribution
Date, reductions in the Available Funds of such groups to make the payments
required to be made pursuant to this Section 4.05(b) on such Distribution Date
shall be made pro rata, based on the amount of remaining Available Funds for
each such Overcollateralized Loan Group. If more than one Undercollateralized
Group exists on any Distribution Date, the payments required to be made
pursuant to this Section 4.05 on such Distribution Date shall be made pro
rata, based on the amount of payments required to be made to the
Undercollateralized Groups.
SECTION 4.06. Monthly Statements to Certificateholders.
(a) Not later than each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall prepare and
cause to be forwarded by first class mail to each Certificateholder, the
Master Servicer, the Depositor and each Rating Agency a statement setting
forth with respect to the related distribution:
(i) the amount thereof allocable to principal, separately
identifying the aggregate amount of any Principal Prepayments,
Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries included therein;
92
(ii) the amount thereof allocable to interest, any Class Unpaid
Interest Amounts included in such distribution and any remaining Class
Unpaid Interest Amounts after giving effect to such distribution;

Certificates is less than the full amount that would be distributable to
such Holders if there were sufficient funds available therefor, the
amount of the shortfall and the allocation thereof as between principal
and interest;
(iv) the Class Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each
Class of Certificates after giving effect to the distribution of
principal on such Distribution Date
(v) the Pool Stated Principal Balance and each Loan Group
Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date;

respect to such Distribution Date;
(ix) the amount of Advances included in the distribution on such
Distribution Date and the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding as of
the close of business on such Distribution Date;
(x) the number and aggregate principal amounts of Mortgage Loans
in each Loan Group (A) delinquent (exclusive of Mortgage Loans in
foreclosure) (1) 1 to 30 days (2) 31 to 60 days (3) 61 to 90 days and
(4) 91 or more days and (B) in foreclosure and delinquent (1) 1 to 30
days (2) 31 to 60 days (3) 61 to 90 days and (4) 91 or more days, as of
the close of business on the last day of the calendar month preceding
such Distribution Date;
(xi) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became an REO Property
during the preceding calendar month, the loan number and Stated
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on
the Determination Date preceding such Distribution Date and the date of
acquisition thereof;
(xii) the total number and principal balance of any REO Properties

Corridor Contract;
(xvii) the amount paid to the Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-3 and Class
1-A-5 Certificates from the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund; and
(xviii) the amount on deposit in the Corridor Contract Reserve
Fund for the following Distribution Date.
The Trustee may make the above information available to Certificateholders via
the Trustee's website at xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.
(b) The Trustee's responsibility for disbursing the above information to
the Certificateholders is limited to the availability, timeliness and accuracy
of the information provided by the Master Servicer.
(c) On or before the fifth Business Day following the end of each
Prepayment Period (but in no event later than the third Business Day prior to
the related Distribution Date), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee (which delivery may be by electronic data transmission) a report in
substantially the form set forth as Schedule VI hereto.
(d) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar
year, the Trustee shall cause to be furnished to each Person who at any time
during the calendar year was a Certificateholder, a statement containing the
information set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(vii) of this Section
4.06 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during
which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially
comparable information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any
requirements of the Code as from time to time in effect.
SECTION 4.07. Determination of Pass-Through Rates for COFI Certificates.
The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of COFI Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period after the initial Interest Accrual Period shall be
determined by the Trustee as provided below on the basis of the Index and the
applicable formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the COFI
Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary
Statement.
94
Except as provided below, with respect to each Interest Accrual Period
following the initial Interest Accrual Period, the Trustee shall not later
than two Business Days prior to such Interest Accrual Period but following the
publication of the applicable Index determine the Pass-Through Rate at which
interest shall accrue in respect of the COFI Certificates during the related
Interest Accrual Period.
Except as provided below, the Index to be used in determining the
respective Pass-Through Rates for the COFI Certificates for a particular
Interest Accrual Period shall be COFI for the second calendar month preceding
the Outside Reference Date for such Interest Accrual Period. If at the Outside
Reference Date for any Interest Accrual Period, COFI for the second calendar
month preceding such Outside Reference Date has not been published, the
Trustee shall use COFI for the third calendar month preceding such Outside
Reference Date. If COFI for neither the second nor third calendar months
preceding any Outside Reference Date has been published on or before the
related Outside Reference Date, the Index for such Interest Accrual Period and
for all subsequent Interest Accrual Periods shall be the National Cost of
Funds Index for the third calendar month preceding such Interest Accrual
Period (or the fourth preceding calendar month if such National Cost of Funds
Index for the third preceding calendar month has not been published by such
Outside Reference Date). In the event that the National Cost of Funds Index
for neither the third nor fourth calendar months preceding an Interest Accrual
Period has been published on or before the related Outside Reference Date,
then for such Interest Accrual Period and for each succeeding Interest Accrual
Period, the Index shall be LIBOR, determined in the manner set forth below.
With respect to any Interest Accrual Period for which the applicable
Index is LIBOR, LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period will be established by
the Trustee on the related Interest Determination Date as provided in Section
4.08.
In determining LIBOR and any Pass-Through Rate for the COFI Certificates
or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be
protected in relying upon the offered quotations (whether written, oral or on
the Reuters Screen) from the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to
LIBOR or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in effect from time to
time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility to any Person
for (i) the Trustee's selection of New York City banks for purposes of
determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its inability, following a
good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from the Reference
Banks or the New York City banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as
provided for in this Section 4.07.
The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the COFI
Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final,
conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
SECTION 4.08. Determination of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR
Certificates.
(a) On each Interest Determination Date for a Class of LIBOR
Certificates, so long as any such LIBOR Certificates are outstanding, the
Trustee will determine LIBOR on the basis of the British Bankers' Association
("BBA") "Interest Settlement Rate" for one-month deposits in U.S. dollars as
found on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. London time on each LIBOR
Determination Date. "Telerate Page 3750" means the display page currently so
designated on
95
the Moneyline Telerate Service (formerly the Dow Xxxxx Markets) (or such other
page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying
comparable rates or prices).
(b) If on any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR cannot be determined as
provided in paragraph (A) of this Section 4.08, the Trustee shall either (i)
request each Reference Bank to inform the Trustee of the quotation offered by
its principal London office for making one-month United States dollar deposits
in leading banks in the London interbank market, as of 11:00 a.m. (London
time) on such Interest Determination Date or (ii) in lieu of making any such
request, rely on such Reference Bank quotations that appear at such time on
the Reuters Screen LIBO Page (as defined in the International Swap Dealers
Association Inc. Code of Standard Wording, Assumptions and Provisions for
Swaps, 1986 Edition), to the extent available. LIBOR for a Class of LIBOR
Certificates for the next Interest Accrual Period will be established by the
Trustee on each interest Determination Date as follows:
(i) If on any Interest Determination Date two or more Reference
Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next applicable
Interest Accrual Period shall be the arithmetic mean of such offered
quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean upwards if necessary to the
nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
(ii) If on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of the
Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next
Interest Accrual Period shall be whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as
determined on the previous Interest Determination Date or (ii) the
Reserve Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest Rate" shall be the rate per
annum which the Trustee determines to be either (i) the arithmetic mean
(rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%) of
the one-month United States dollar lending rates that New York City
banks selected by the Trustee are quoting, on the relevant Interest
Determination Date, to the principal London offices of at least two of
the Reference Banks to which such quotations are, in the opinion of the
Trustee, being so made, or (ii) in the event that the Trustee can
determine no such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month United States
dollar lending rate which New York City banks selected by the Trustee
are quoting on such Interest Determination Date to leading European
banks.
(iii) If on any Interest Determination Date the Trustee is
required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the
manner provided in paragraph (b) above, LIBOR for the related Classes of
Certificates shall be LIBOR as determined on the preceding applicable
Interest Determination Date. If on the initial LIBOR Determination date,
the Trustee is required but unable to determine LIBOR in the manner
provided above, LIBOR for the next Interest Accrual Period shall be
2.85%.
Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee will
at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of
determining LIBOR with respect to each Interest Determination Date. The Master
Servicer initially shall designate the Reference Banks. Each "Reference Bank"
shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the
international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be
under common control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place of
business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable
to act as such or if the Master Servicer should
96
terminate its appointment as Reference Bank, the Trustee shall promptly
appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank. The Trustee shall
have no liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any
Reference Bank for purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to
retain at least four Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond
its reasonable control.
(c) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each Interest
Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding on the
basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes
corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the
Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
In determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR Certificates,
any Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may
conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the offered
quotations (whether written, oral or on the Dow Xxxxx Markets) from the BBA
designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to LIBOR,
the Interest Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in
effect from time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee's selection of New York City
banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its
inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations
from, the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks
or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this Section
4.08.
The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final,
conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
SECTION 4.09. Distributions from the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund.
(a) On each Distribution Date on or prior to the earlier of (i) each
Corridor Contract Scheduled Termination Date and (ii) the date on which the
Class Certificate Balances of the Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-3 and Class 1-A-5
Certificates, as applicable, are reduced to zero, amounts on deposit in the
Corridor Contract Reserve Fund from the Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-5 Corridor
Contracts will be withdrawn therefrom and distributed to the Class 1-A-1 and
Class 1-A-5 Certificates and amounts on deposit in the Corridor Contract
Reserve Fund from the Class 1-A-3 Corridor Contract will be withdrawn
therefrom and distributed to the Class 1-A-3 Certificates to the extent needed
to pay any related Yield Supplement Amount of the Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-3 and
Class 1-A-5 Certificates, as applicable, for such Distribution Date.
(b) Any amounts remaining in the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund, after
the earlier of (i) the date on which the aggregate Class Certificate Balance
of the Class 1-A-1, Class 1-A-3 and Class 1-A-5 Certificates has been reduced
to zero and (ii) the latest Corridor Contract Scheduled Termination Date, will
be distributed to Countrywide Securities Corporation.

ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as
exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the
minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one
Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in
excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per
Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
Subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions
to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by
wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at
a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if (i) such
Holder has so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the
related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a Notional Amount
Certificate, (B) 100% of the Class Certificate Balance of any Class of
Certificates or (C) Certificates of any Class with aggregate principal
Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by first
class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing
in the Certificate Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall
bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid
for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, and
such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and
the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature.
On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be
issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on
a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate
transfers.
SECTION 5.02. Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.06 hereof, a Certificate Register for the
Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c)
below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
98
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance
with the Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In
the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the
Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the
Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each
certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in
substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit J (the "Transferor Certificate")
and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit K (the
"Investment Letter") or Exhibit L (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall
be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of
Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the
Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private
Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder,
information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such
other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to
eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate
without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the
registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Master
Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A
information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the
Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably
request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a
Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor, the Sellers and the Master
Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the
Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the transferee of
such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate, such
requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a representation
letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit K or Exhibit
L, or in the event such
99
Certificate is a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by
the Trustee's receipt of a representation letter from the transferee
substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that (x) such
transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section
406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or
a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement or using the assets
of any such plan or arrangement to effect such transfer or (y) in the case of
a Certificate that is an ERISA-Restricted Certificate and that has been the
subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation that the
transferee is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificate with
funds contained in an "insurance company general account" (as such term is
defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE
95-60")) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificate satisfy the
requirements for exemptive relief under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or
(ii) in the case of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for
registration in the name of an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to
ERISA, or a plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or
comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee or any other
person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, or using such plan's
or arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the Trustee, the
Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee and the Master
Servicer to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA-Restricted
Certificate will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Trustee or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to those
expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes of
the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that
is not a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter or
Opinion of Counsel referred to in the preceding sentence is not so furnished,
one of the representations in clause (i), as appropriate, shall be deemed to
have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's (including an initial
acquiror's) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificate. Notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan or
other plan of arrangement subject to ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code
without the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to
the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect.
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 Certificate that is in fact
not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) 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.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee.
100
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the
Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the
Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been
furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial
owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
I.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or
agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C)
not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to
cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to
any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in
the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a
Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this
Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
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 Section 5.02(b)
and this Section 5.02(c) 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 after receipt of the related Transfer
Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the
Investment Letter, if required. The Trustee shall be entitled but not
obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was
in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at
such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all
payments made on such Residual 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 Permitted Transferee of
such Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available,
upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information
necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code
as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer or any Seller, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that the Certificates are
101
outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a
Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment
of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the
Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of,
or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred,
directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b)
to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which
is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a
Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions
referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at
the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all
times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at
all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain
book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to
ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the
Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall
deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating
firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry
Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this
Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives
shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully
protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect
to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants
with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of
such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge
its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor or (y) after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate
Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the
Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the
best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such
event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates
(the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same.
Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for
registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the
Master Servicer, the
102
Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. The Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee
with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and
transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references in this Agreement to obligations imposed upon or
to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and
performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the
Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become
liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Master Servicer or
the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered
as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as
provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither
the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Master Servicer or the
Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
If three or more Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners (a)
request such information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such
Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners desire to communicate with other
Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners with respect to their rights
under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the
communication which such Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners propose
to transmit, or if the Depositor or Master Servicer shall request such
information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten
Business Days after the receipt of such request, (x) provide the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or such Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners at
such recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of
such Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any, and (y) assist the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or such Certificateholders and/or
103
Certificate Owners at such recipients' expense with obtaining from the
Depository a list of the related Depository Participants acting on behalf of
Certificate Owners of Book Entry Certificates. The Depositor and every
Certificateholder and Certificate Owner, by receiving and holding a
Certificate or beneficial interest therein, agree that the Trustee shall not
be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to
the list of the Certificateholders and/or Depository Participants hereunder,
regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
SECTION 5.06. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an
office or offices or agency or agencies in New York City where Certificates
may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Trustee
initially designates its Corporate Trust Office for such purposes. The Trustee
will give prompt written notice to the Certificateholders of any change in
such location of any such office or agency.

SECTION 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer shall each be liable in accordance
herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and respectively
imposed upon and undertaken by them herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a corporation under the laws of the United States or under the
laws of one of the states thereof and will obtain and preserve its
qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in
which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer will keep in effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a limited partnership under the laws of
the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and will
obtain and preserve its qualification or registration to do business as a
foreign partnership in each jurisdiction in which such qualification or
registration is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform
its duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged
or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any person
succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be
the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be,
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of
FNMA or FHLMC.
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Sellers, the
Master Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any Seller or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
or any Seller shall be under any liability to the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any
Seller or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties
made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Seller or
any such Person from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons
of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of
duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Seller and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or each Seller may
rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed
and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
105
hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Seller and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any Seller
shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss,
liability or expense incurred in connection with any audit, controversy or
judicial proceeding relating to a governmental taxing authority or any legal
action relating to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss,
liability or expense related to any specific Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans
(except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable
pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
or any Seller shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action that is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and
which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided,
however, that any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any Seller may in
its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or
desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and 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
Trust Fund, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer and each Seller shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties
hereby imposed on it except (a) upon appointment of a successor servicer and
receipt by the Trustee of a letter from each Rating Agency that such a
resignation and appointment will not result in a downgrade or withdrawal of
the rating of any of the Certificates or (b) upon determination that its
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such
determination under clause (b) permitting the resignation of the Master
Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered
to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee
or a successor master servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder.
106
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
SECTION 7.01. Events of Default.
"Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the following
events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the
Certificate Account or remit to the Trustee any payment required to be
made under the terms of this Agreement, which failure shall continue
unremedied for five days after the date upon which written notice of
such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee
or the Depositor or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the
Holders of Certificates having not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by the Certificates; or
(ii) any failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in
any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the
part of the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement, which failure
materially affects the rights of Certificateholders, that failure
continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which
written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master
Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Master Servicer and
the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25%
of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; provided, however,
that the sixty-day cure period shall not apply to the initial delivery
of the Mortgage File for Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans nor the failure
to substitute or repurchase in lieu thereof; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered
against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained
in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days;
or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Master Servicer or all or substantially all of the
property of the Master Servicer; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to
pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take
advantage of, or commence a voluntary case under, any applicable
insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit
of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(vi) the Master Servicer shall fail to reimburse in full the
Trustee within five days of the Master Servicer Advance Date for any
Advance made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(b) together with
accrued and unpaid interest.
107
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) to (vi) of this Section
shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, or at the direction of
the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting
Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall by notice in writing
to the Master Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of
the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in
and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a
Certificateholder hereunder. On and after the receipt by the Master Servicer
of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer
hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass
to and be vested in the Trustee. The Trustee shall thereupon make any Advance
which the Master Servicer failed to make subject to Section 4.01 hereof
whether or not the obligations of the Master Servicer have been terminated
pursuant to this Section. The Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or
otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the
purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no such
termination shall affect any obligation of the Master Servicer to pay amounts
owed pursuant to Article VIII. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which shall at the time be
credited to the Certificate Account, or thereafter be received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late
collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to
the notice terminating such Master Servicer's rights and obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to
which such Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections
3.08(a)(i) through (viii),and any other amounts payable to such Master
Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of
its activities hereunder.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and
to the extent provided in Section 3.04, be the successor to the Master
Servicer in its capacity as master servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the
obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans that the Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the
Certificate Account or Distribution Account if the Master Servicer had
continued to act hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor
any other successor to Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP as Master Servicer
shall be entitled to receive the Excess Master Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the Master Servicer
in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from
making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise
108
unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment
of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the
Certificates, by each Rating Agency as the successor to the Master Servicer
hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties
or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Master
Servicer shall be an institution which is a FNMA and FHLMC approved
seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least
$15,000,000, and which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and executes
and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such
delegation and assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of the
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the
Master Servicer (other than liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section
6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section
7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement;
and provided further that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of
the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation
will not be qualified or reduced as a result of such assignment and
delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so
acting, shall, subject to Section 3.04 hereof, act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out
of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Basic Master
Servicing Fee permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession. 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 or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any
duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of
the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or
providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.
Any successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall give
notice to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term
of its service as master servicer maintain in force the policy or policies
that the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.09.
In connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer

in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection
with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, or
(ii) the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master
Servicer either (x) in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of

as may be necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or
servicing of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R) System to the successor Master
Servicer or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System the
successor Master Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage Loan. The
predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such
assignment in the appropriate recording office. The successor Master Servicer

109
of the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy certified by the

ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, 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.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are
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.
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) unless an Event of Default known to the Trustee shall have
occurred and be continuing, the duties and obligations of the Trustee
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement,
the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement,
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement
against the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in
good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper
authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee, unless it shall be finally proven that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) 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 Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee
under this Agreement, and
(iv) without in any way limiting the provisions of this Section
8.01 or Section 8.02 hereof, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely
conclusively on the information delivered to it by the Master Servicer
in a Trustee Advance Notice in determining whether or not it
111
is required to make an Advance under Section 4.01(b), shall have no
responsibility to ascertain or confirm any information contained in any
Trustee Advance Notice, and shall have no obligation to make any Advance
under Section 4.01(b) in the absence of a Trustee Advance Notice or
actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that (A) such
Advance was not made by the Master Servicer and (B) such Advance is not
a Nonrecoverable Advance.
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected
in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers'
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and
the Trustee shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the
genuineness of any signature of any such party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered
or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
it by this Agreement;
(iv) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by
Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting
Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates;
(v) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder
or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents,
accountants or attorneys;
(vi) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers
hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not assured to it;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any
investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of
the investment security);
112
(viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an
Event of Default until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof; and
(ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless
such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as
the statements of the Depositor or a Seller, as the case may be, and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the
Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document or of MERS or the
MERS System other than with respect to the Trustee's execution and
counter-signature of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Depositor or the Master Servicer of any
funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage
Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the
Depositor or the Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner
or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would have if it were
not the Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
The Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be
entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date
an amount equal to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date. The Trustee and
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified
by the Master Servicer and held harmless against any loss, liability or
expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) (i) incurred in connection with
any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates
or (c) in connection with the performance of any of the Trustee's duties
hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the
Trustee's duties hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee
taken at the direction of the Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any
error in any tax or information return prepared by the Master Servicer. Such
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation
or removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Master Servicer covenants and agrees, except as otherwise agreed upon in
writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to: (A)
the
113
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel not
associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates, (B) the
reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant,
engineer or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the
extent that the Trustee must engage such persons to perform acts or services
hereunder and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing
any Definitive Certificates. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee
shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing
expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as
Trustee, Registrar, Tax Matters Person or Paying Agent hereunder or for any
other expenses.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association
organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of
America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having
a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision
or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating which
would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce or withdraw their
respective then current ratings of the Certificates (or having provided such
security from time to time as is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as
evidenced in writing by each Rating Agency. If such corporation or association
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07 hereof. The entity
serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the
Depositor and its affiliates or the Master Servicer and its affiliates;
provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Master
Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Master
Servicer.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date
specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to
take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section
8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor
trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written
request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a
tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by
114
any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition
of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then
the Depositor or the Master Servicer may remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy of which shall be
delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Master Servicer, one
complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor
so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each
Rating Agency by the successor trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided
in Section 8.08 hereof.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 hereof shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
trustee and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as
if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such
other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly
vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers,
duties, and obligations. In addition, if any Corridor Contract is still
outstanding, the Person appointed as successor trustee shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the predecessor trustee, Countrywide and the Master
Servicer an instrument accepting the appointment as successor Corridor
Contract Administrator under the Corridor Contract Administration Agreement.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and its
appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the
Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to
mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed
at the expense of the Depositor.
115
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof without the execution or
filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for
the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time
be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the
power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly
with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part
of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any
part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after
the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power
to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
8.06 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee
or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under
this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall
be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood
that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act
separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as
successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of
title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate
trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
116
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such
appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such
separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(iv) The Master Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for
the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and
indemnification to any such separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees,
when and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement
and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee,
upon its acceptance of the 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 thereof given to the Master Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its
estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
SECTION 8.11. Tax Matters.
It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election
is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute,
and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to
qualify such assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined
in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such
intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and
the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such REMIC
and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be
prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment
Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the
Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and
filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax
authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with
respect to any such REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in
the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws,
regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to
Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and
in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the
Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue
Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name,
title, address, and telephone
117
number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax
information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may
be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in
the manner required by the Code; (c) make or cause to be made elections that
such assets be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first
taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) prepare and
forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and
to the Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all
information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the
calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption;
(e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the
transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a
Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through entity in which a Non-Permitted
Transferee is the record holder of an interest (the reasonable cost of
computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable
for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are under its control conduct
matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are
outstanding so as to maintain the status as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take
any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any REMIC;
(h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section
8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction
taxes as described below, imposed on any such REMIC prior to its termination
when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not
prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such
tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Trustee from
withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of
such proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or
information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other person as may
be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws,
regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to any such REMIC,
including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities
thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined
at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to
prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k)
as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any such REMIC in any
administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by
any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to
any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any
governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any
tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of any such REMIC in
relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.
In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth
herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the
Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to
the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows
of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall
provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such
additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time,
reasonably request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set
forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any
errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any
118
failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate
information or data to the Trustee on a timely basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any
REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net
income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c)
of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder after the Startup Day
pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed,
including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC
hereunder pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and
Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be
paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the
Master Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or a Seller of any of
their obligations under this Agreement, (iii) any Seller, if any such tax
arises out of or results from that Seller's obligation to repurchase a
Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or
in the event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or any Seller fails to
honor its obligations under the preceding clauses (i),(ii) or (iii), any such
tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the
Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.08(b).
The Trustee shall treat the Corridor Contract Reserve Fund as an outside
reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h) that is
owned by the Underwriter, and that is not an asset of any REMIC created
hereunder. The Trustee shall treat the rights of the Holders of the Class
1-A-1, Class 1-A-3 and Class 1-A-5 Certificates to receive payments from the
Corridor Contract Reserve Fund as rights in an interest rate corridor contract
written by the related Corridor Contract Counterparty. Thus, Class 1-A-1,
Class 1-A-3 and Class 1-A-5 Certificates shall be treated as representing
ownership of not only a Master REMIC regular interest, but also ownership of
an interest in an interest rate corridor contract. For purposes of determining
the issue price of the Master REMIC regular interests, the Trustee shall
assume that the Corridor Contracts entered into by the related Corridor
Contract Counterparty in respect of the Class 1-A-1 and Class 1-A-5
Certificates have a value of $1,837,000.00 and $602,000.00 respectively and
that the Corridor Contract entered into in respect of the Class 1-A-3
Certificates has a value $403,000.00.

notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Master Servicer
shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Master Servicer
intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of
the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment
of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 10th day
and no later than the 15th day of the month next preceding the month of such
final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date
upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates at
120
the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c)
the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender
must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein
specified. The Master Servicer will give such notice to each Rating Agency at
the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.
In the event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all
funds in the Certificate Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in
the Distribution Account on or before the Business Day prior to the applicable
Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of
the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and
the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee
shall promptly release to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for the
Mortgage Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall
cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in each case
on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 4.02, in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class
of Regular Certificates, the Certificate Balance thereof plus (a) accrued
interest thereon (or on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of
an interest bearing Certificate and (b) any Class PO Deferred Amounts in the
case of Class PO Certificates, and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the
amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other
than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause
(i) above. Notwithstanding the reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of
any Class of Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding hereunder
(solely for the purpose of receiving distributions and not for any other
purpose) until the termination of the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, each Seller, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article IX.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date 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 six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take
appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the
second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and
other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto.
121
SECTION 9.03. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option as
provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance
with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been
supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer, to
the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section
9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" on any REMIC as defined in section 860F of the Code, or (ii)
cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding:
(1) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set
forth in the notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 9.02, the
Master Servicer shall prepare and the Trustee, at the expense of the
"tax matters person," shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation within
the meaning of section 860F(a)(4) of the Code which, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee
or the Tax Matters Person), meets the requirements of a qualified
liquidation; and
(2) Within 90 days after the time of adoption of such a plan
of complete liquidation, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the
Trust Fund to the Master Servicer for cash in accordance with Section
9.01.
(b) The Trustee, as agent for any REMIC created hereunder, hereby agrees
to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request
of the Master Servicer, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel referred to
in Section 9.03(a)(1) and to take such other action in connection therewith as
may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer.
(c) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
authorize the Master Servicer to prepare and the Trustee to adopt and sign a
plan of complete liquidation.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any
defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to conform this Agreement
to the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement provided to investors in
connection with the initial offering of the Certificates, (iv) to add to the
duties of the Depositor, any Seller or the Master Servicer, (v) to modify,
alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in
this Agreement to comply with any rules or regulations promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, (vi) to add any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or (vii) to
modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions
contained in this Agreement; provided that any action pursuant to clauses (v),
(vi) or (vii) above shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund),
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder; provided, however, that the amendment shall not be deemed
to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Certificateholders if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter
from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of
itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such
amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues
affecting any such rating. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment that
significantly changes the permitted activities of the trust created by this
Agreement may be made without the consent of a Majority in Interest of each
Class of Certificates affected by such amendment. Each party to this Agreement
hereby agrees that it will cooperate with each other party in amending this
Agreement pursuant to clause (v) above. The Trustee, the Depositor and the
Master Servicer also may at any time and from time to time amend this
Agreement without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate
or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or
helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of any REMIC as a REMIC under the
Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any
REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the
final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other
requirements of the Code, provided that the Trustee has been provided an
Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting
such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as
applicable, (i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk
of the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of
the Code.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a
Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall
123
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments
required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the
Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than
as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of
such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating
66-2/3%, or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders
of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of
the Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have
first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of
the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not
cause the imposition of any tax on any REMIC or the Certificateholders or
cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement
requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each
Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be
an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that
(i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and
that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and
(ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth
in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant
to this Section 10.01.
SECTION 10.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
This Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public
offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable
jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages
are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or
elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Master Servicer at its
expense, but only upon direction by the Trustee accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially
affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one
and the same instrument.
124
SECTION 10.03. Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE
SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO
BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
SECTION 10.04. Intention of Parties.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of
the (i) of the Mortgage Loans by the Sellers to the Depositor and (ii) Trust
Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be construed as, an absolute
sale thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the intention of the parties
that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the
property of any Seller or the Depositor, as the case may be, or if for any
other reason this Agreement or any Supplemental Transfer Agreement is held or
deemed to create a security interest in either such assets, then (i) this
Agreement or any Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be deemed to be a
security agreement (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the
State of New York) with respect to all such assets and security interests and
(ii) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement or any Supplemental
Transfer Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement (i) by each Seller to the Depositor or (ii) by the
Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a
security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired.
Each Seller and the Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may
be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a
security interest in the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to
be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and
will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor
shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements
in connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 10.05. Notices.
(a) The Trustee shall use its best efforts to promptly provide notice to
each Rating Agency with respect to each of the following of which it has
actual knowledge:
1. Any material change or amendment to this Agreement;
2. The occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been cured;
3. The resignation or termination of the Master Servicer or the Trustee
and the appointment of any successor;
4. The repurchase or substitution of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
2.03;
125
5. The final payment to Certificateholders; and
6. Any rating action involving the long-term credit rating of
Countrywide, which notice shall be made by first-class mail within two
Business Days after the Trustee gains actual knowledge thereof.
In addition, the Trustee shall promptly furnish to each Rating Agency
copies of the following:
1. Each report to Certificateholders described in Section 4.06;
2. Each annual statement as to compliance described in Section 3.16;
3. Each annual independent public accountants' servicing report
described in Section 3.17; and
4. Any notice of a purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02,
2.03 or 3.11.

SECTION 10.06. Severability of Provisions.
If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of
this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the
remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and
shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions
of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.
SECTION 10.07. Assignment.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as
provided in Section 6.02, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Master
Servicer without the prior written consent of the Trustee and Depositor.
SECTION 10.08. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders.
The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the trust created hereby, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or
winding up of the trust created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights,
obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided
herein) or in any manner otherwise control 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 party by reason of any action taken by the parties to
this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions 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
herein provided, and unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less
than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have
made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs,
expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee,
for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or
proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted
by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee,
that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner
whatever by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of
this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of
any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or
preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this
Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the common benefit of
all Certificateholders. For the protection and
127
enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.08, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.
SECTION 10.09. Inspection and Audit Rights.
The Master Servicer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will
permit and will cause each Subservicer to permit any representative of the
Depositor or the Trustee during the Master Servicer's normal business hours,
to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of the
Master Servicer relating to the Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts
therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public
accountants selected by the Depositor or the Trustee and to discuss its
affairs, finances and accounts relating to the Mortgage Loans with its
officers, employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision
the Master Servicer hereby authorizes said accountants to discuss with such
representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable
times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any out-of-pocket expense
incident to the exercise by the Depositor or the Trustee of any right under
this Section 10.09 shall be borne by the party requesting such inspection; all

Subservicer.

4. Each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged
Property subject only to (a) the lien of non delinquent current real property
taxes and assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of
way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording
of such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to
mortgage lending institutions generally or specifically reflected in the
appraisal made in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage
Loan, and (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject
which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended
to be provided by such Mortgage.
5. There is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any Mortgaged
Property.
S-III-A-1
6. There is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any Mortgage
Note or Mortgage, including the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay the unpaid
principal of or interest on such Mortgage Note.
7. There are no mechanics' liens or claims for work, labor or material
affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien prior to, or equal
with, the lien of such Mortgage, except those which are insured against by the
title insurance policy referred to in item (12) below.
8. As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans and
as of the related Supplemental Transfer Date with respect to the Supplemental
Mortgage Loans, to the best of Countrywide's knowledge, each Mortgaged
Property is free of material damage and in good repair.
9. Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material respects
with applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation,
usury, equal credit opportunity, predatory and abusive lending laws, real
estate settlement procedures, truth-in-lending and disclosure laws, and
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the
violation of any such laws.
10. As of the Closing Date in the case of the Initial Mortgage Loans and
as of the related Supplemental Transfer Date with respect to the Supplemental
Mortgage Loans, neither Countrywide nor any prior holder of any Mortgage has
modified the Mortgage in any material respect (except that a Mortgage Loan may
have been modified by a written instrument which has been recorded or
submitted for recordation, if necessary, to protect the interests of the
Certificateholders and the original or a copy of which has been delivered to
the Trustee); satisfied, cancelled or subordinated such Mortgage in whole or
in part; released the related Mortgaged Property in whole or in part from the
lien of such Mortgage; or executed any instrument of release, cancellation,
modification or satisfaction with respect thereto.
11. A lender's policy of title insurance together with a condominium
endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if applicable, in an amount at
least equal to the Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance of each such Mortgage
Loan or a commitment (binder) to issue the same was effective on the date of
the origination of each Mortgage Loan, each such policy is valid and remains
in full force and effect, and each such policy was issued by a title insurer
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is
located and acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and is in a form acceptable to FNMA or
FHLMC, which policy insures Countrywide and successor owners of indebtedness
secured by the insured Mortgage, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage
subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (4) above; to the best of
Countrywide's knowledge, no claims have been made under such mortgage title
insurance policy and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including
Countrywide, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage of such mortgage title insurance policy.
12. Each Mortgage Loan was originated (within the meaning of Section
3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by an entity that
satisfied
S-III-A-2
at the time of origination the requirements of Section 3(a)(41) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
13. To the best of Countrywide's knowledge, all of the improvements
which were included for the purpose of determining the Appraised Value of the
Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction
lines of such property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach
upon the Mortgaged Property.
14. To the best of Countrywide's knowledge, no improvement located on or
being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning
law or regulation. To the best of Countrywide's knowledge, all inspections,
licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all
occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and
occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy
and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities, unless the lack thereof would not have a material
adverse effect on the value of such Mortgaged Property, and the Mortgaged
Property is lawfully occupied under applicable law.
15. Each Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and each is
the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in
accordance with its terms and under applicable law. To the best of
Countrywide's knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had
legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage and each Mortgage
Note and Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.
16. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loans have been fully disbursed, there
is no requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all requirements
as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to
disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs,
fees and expenses incurred in making, or closing or recording the Mortgage
Loans were paid.
17. The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions
which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security,
including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by
trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
18. With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and
no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Certificateholders to
the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's
sale after default by the Mortgagor.
19. Each Mortgage Note and each Mortgage is in substantially one of the
forms acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, with such riders as have been acceptable to
FNMA or FHLMC, as the case may be.
20. There exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits and
payments, if such are required, for which customary arrangements for repayment
thereof have not been made, and no escrow deposits or payments of other
charges or payments due Countrywide have been capitalized under the Mortgage
or the related Mortgage Note.
S-III-A-3
21. The origination, underwriting and collection practices used by
Countrywide with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects
legal, prudent and customary in the mortgage lending and servicing business.
22. There is no pledged account or other security other than real estate
securing the Mortgagor's obligations.
23. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other
contingent interest feature.
24. Each Mortgage Loan contains a customary "due on sale" clause.
25. As of the Closing Date, 18 of the Initial Mortgage Loans in Loan
Group 1, 11 of the Initial Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 and 31 of the
Initial Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 3, provide for a prepayment penalty.
26. Each Mortgage Loan which had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in
excess of 80% is the subject of a Primary Insurance Policy that insures that
portion of the principal balance equal to a specified percentage times the sum
of the remaining principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, the accrued
interest thereon and the related foreclosure expenses. The specified
percentage for mortgage loans with terms to maturity of between 25 and 30
years is 12% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 80.01% and 85.00%, 25% for
Loan-to-Value Ratios between 85.01% and 90.00%, 30% for Loan-to-Value Ratios
between 90.01% and 95.00% and 35% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 95.01% and
100%. The specified coverage percentage for mortgage loans with terms to
maturity of up to 20 years ranges from 6% to 12% for Loan-to-Value Ratios
between 80.01% to 85.00%; from 12% to 20% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between
85.01% to 90.00% and 20% to 25% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 90.01% to
95.00%. Each such Primary Insurance Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer.
All provisions of any such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being
complied with, any such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums
due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary
Insurance Policy obligates either the Mortgagor or the mortgagee thereunder to
maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection
therewith, subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 3.09(b) of this
Agreement. The Mortgage Rate for each Mortgage Loan is net of any such
insurance premium.
27. As of the Closing Date or the related Supplemental Transfer Date,
the improvements upon each Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and
existing hazard insurance policy with a generally acceptable carrier that
provides for fire and extended coverage and coverage for such other hazards as
are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount
which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of
the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that
the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor
and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the Mortgaged Property is
a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket
policy for the condominium unit. All such individual insurance policies and
all flood policies referred to in item (28) below contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming Countrywide or the original mortgagee, and its successors in
interest, as mortgagee, and Countrywide has
S-III-A-4
received no notice that any premiums due and payable thereon have not been
paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such
insurance including flood insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and
upon the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage
to obtain and maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense and
to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
28. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the requirements of the
current guidelines of the Flood Insurance Administration is in effect with
respect to such Mortgaged Property with a generally acceptable carrier in an
amount representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the original
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount
required to compensate for damage or loss on a replacement cost basis, or (C)
the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended.
29. To the best of Countrywide's knowledge, there is no proceeding
occurring, pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property.
30. There is no material monetary default existing under any Mortgage or
the related Mortgage Note and, to the best of Countrywide's knowledge, there
is no material event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the
expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage
Note; and Countrywide has not waived any default, breach, violation or event
of acceleration.
31. Each Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to four-family
residential dwelling including condominium units and dwelling units in PUDs,
which, to the best of Countrywide's knowledge, does not include cooperatives
or mobile homes and does not constitute other than real property under state
law.
32. Each Mortgage Loan is being master serviced by the Master Servicer.
33. Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage,
and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest
rate and single repayment term reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The
consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of
the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note does not permit or obligate the Master
Servicer to make future advances to the Mortgagor at the option of the
Mortgagor.
34. All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water,
sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which
previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been
established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains
unpaid and which has been assessed, but is not yet due and payable. Except for
(A) payments in the nature of escrow payments, and (B) interest accruing from
the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage
proceeds, whichever is later, to the day which precedes by one month the Due
Date of the first installment of principal and interest, including without
limitation, taxes and insurance payments, the Master
S-III-A-5
Servicer has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received
any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or
indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage.
35. Each Mortgage Loan was underwritten in all material respects in
accordance with Countrywide's underwriting guidelines as set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement.
36. Other than with respect to any Streamlined Documentation Mortgage
Loan as to which the loan-to-value ratio of the related Original Mortgage Loan
was less than 90% at the time of the origination of such Original Mortgage
Loan, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application, an appraisal of
the related Mortgaged Property was obtained from a qualified appraiser, duly
appointed by the originator, who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the
Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, and whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage
Loan; such appraisal is in a form acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC.
37. None of the Initial Mortgage Loans are graduated payment mortgage
loans or a growing equity mortgage loans, and none of the Initial Mortgage
Loans are subject to a buydown or similar arrangement.
38. Any leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a term of not less
than five years in excess of the term of the related Mortgage Loan.
39. The Mortgage Loans were selected from among the outstanding
fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans in the portfolios of the Sellers
at the Closing Date as to which the representations and warranties made as to
the Mortgage Loans set forth in this Schedule III-A can be made. Such
selection was not made in a manner intended to adversely affect the interests
of Certificateholders.
40. Except for 826 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1, 41 Mortgage Loans in
Loan Group 2 and 58 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 3, each Initial Mortgage Loan
has a payment date on or before the Due Date in the month of the first
Distribution Date.
41. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which an affidavit has been
delivered to the Trustee certifying that the original Mortgage Note is a Lost
Mortgage Note, if such Mortgage Loan is subsequently in default, the
enforcement of such Mortgage Loan or of the related Mortgage by or on behalf
of the Trustee will not be materially adversely affected by the absence of the
original Mortgage Note. A "Lost Mortgage Note" is a Mortgage Note the original
of which was permanently lost or destroyed and has not been replaced.
42. The Mortgage Loans, individually and in the aggregate, conform in
all material respects to the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus
Supplement.
43. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan underlying the Certificates were
used to finance single-premium credit insurance policies.
S-III-A-6
44. The master servicer has furnished, in accordance with the Fair
Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete
information on its borrower credit files related to the mortgage loans to

1, Loan Group 2 or Loan Group 3 is within the dollar amount limits of Xxxxxxx
Mac and Xxxxxx Mae for conforming one- to four-family mortgage loans.
46. No Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1, Loan Group 2 or Loan Group 3

Fair Lending Act, as amended. No Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1, Loan Group 2

by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on

in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at
the Corporate Trust Office or such other location specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
No transfer of a Class P Certificate shall be made unless such transfer
is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and any
applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration
requirements under the Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to
be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to
assure compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring

Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Act) to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act

Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase and
holding of such Certificate will not result in a prohibited transaction under

undertaken in the Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary herein, any purported transfer of a Class P
Certificate to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or a
plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code without the opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no
effect.
This Class P Certificate may not be pledged or used as collateral for
any other obligation if it would cause any portion of the Trust Fund to be
treated as a taxable mortgage pool under Section 7701(i) of the Code.
Each Holder of this Class P Certificate will be deemed to have agreed
to be bound by the transfer restrictions set forth in the Agreement and all
other terms and provisions of the Agreement.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as CWALT, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the "Certificates"),
and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by
the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account
for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the
Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any
liability under the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations
of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable
Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to
Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to
each Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month next preceding
the month of such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days
prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the
conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if
not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such
Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or
such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such
final distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
E-1
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates affected by such
amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the
Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of
the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by
the Trustee in New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized
in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither
the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice
to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance is
less than or equal to 10% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, the
Master Servicer will have the option, subject to the limitations set forth in
the Agreement, to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans at a
purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no
such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created
by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity or other
liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund or the disposition of all property in respect
thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to
be distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust
created by the Agreement continue beyond the

STATE OF )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of , the proposed Transferee
of an Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate (the "Certificate") issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the "Agreement"), relating
to the above-referenced Series, by and among CWALT, Inc., as depositor (the
"Depositor"), Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., as a Seller, Park Granada LLC, as
a Seller, Park Monaco, Inc., as a Seller, Park Sienna LLC, as a Seller,
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, as master servicer and The Bank of New
York, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit
1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The
Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of
the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of
the date of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring
its Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account or as the
nominee, trustee or agent of another Person, in which case the Transferee has
attached hereto an affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form
as this affidavit. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is
false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i)
a tax will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if
such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability
for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit
that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a
tax will be imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at
any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is
not a Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity.
The Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period
with respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity
an affidavit
I-1
that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity
does not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a "pass-through entity" includes a regulated investment company, a
real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or
estate, and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury
Regulations, persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee
for another Person.)
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section
5.02(c) of the Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein
by reference) and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an
Ownership Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the
restrictions on subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the
Transfer and mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by
and to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands
and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall
render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from
any Person to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest
in the Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom
the Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will
not Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit J to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to
the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to
which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect
to the Certificate.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is .
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a
"noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury
regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a
noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with
respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose
of the transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
11. The Transferee anticipates that it will, so long as it
holders the Class A-R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes
owed by the holder of such Class A-R Certificates, and hereby represents to
and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class A-R
Certificates that the Transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding
such Class A-R Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it
may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class
A-R Certificates. The Transferee has provided
I-2
financial statements or other financial information requested by the
Transferor in connection with the transfer of the Class A-R Certificates to
permit the Transferor to assess the financial capability of the Transferee to
pay such taxes. The Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject
to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, and the
Transferee is not acting on behalf of such a plan.
12. Either (i) the Transferee is not an employee benefit plan
subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject to Section
4975 of the Code, or a person acting on behalf of or investing the assets of
any such benefit plan or arrangement to effect such acquisition, or, (ii) the
source of funds for the purchase of such Class A-R Certificate is an
"insurance company general account" within the meaning of Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (PTCE 95-60"), 60 Fed. Reg. 35925 (July 12,
1995), and the terms and conditions of Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 are
applicable to the acquisition and holding of such Class A-R Certificate.

--------------------------------
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership

following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Class A-R Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Class A-R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and
shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in
its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate may
be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the
Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Class A-R Certificate

not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) 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 after receipt of
the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the
Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be
entitled but not obligated to recover from any
I-7
Holder of a Class A-R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted
Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time
as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on
such Class A-R 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 Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
