CREDIT & CAPITAL, INC., a Delaware corporation, as seller (in such capacity,
the “Sponsor”), XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking
association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and as securities
administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), GMAC MORTGAGE, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company corporation, as a servicer (a “Servicer” or “GMACM”)
and HSBC BANK, USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, not

PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT
The

in return for the Certificates.
REMIC

As
provided herein, the Securities Administrator will make an election to treat
the
segregated pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other
related assets as set forth in the definition of REMIC I subject to this
Agreement (exclusive of the Net WAC Reserve Fund, Supplemental Interest Trust,
the Swap Agreement and the Cap Contract) as a REMIC for federal income tax
purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC
I”. The Class R-1 Interest will represent the sole Class of “residual
interests” in REMIC I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
The
following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the Uncertificated
REMIC
I Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance, and for
purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the

to review such Mortgage Loan Documents and deliver to the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Servicers and the Sponsor certifications (in the forms attached
to the Custodial Agreement) with respect to such review with exceptions noted
thereon. In addition, under the Custodial Agreement the Depositor
will be required to cure certain defects with respect to the Mortgage Loan

to
the Custodian as more particularly set forth therein.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that
the functions of the Trustee with respect to the custody, acceptance, inspection
and release of the Mortgage Files and preparation and delivery of the
certifications shall be performed by the Custodian pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Custodial Agreement.
The
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the related Servicer copies
of all trailing documents required to be included in the related Mortgage File
at the same time the originals or certified copies thereof are delivered to
the
Custodian, such documents including the mortgagee policy of title insurance
and
any Mortgage Loan Documents upon return from the recording office. No
Servicer shall be responsible for any custodial fees or other costs incurred
in
obtaining such documents and the Depositor shall cause each Servicer to be
reimbursed for any such costs such Servicer may incur in connection with
performing its obligations under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement,
as
applicable.
The
Mortgage Loans permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be included in the
Trust Fund are limited to (i) Mortgage Loans (which the Depositor acquired
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which contains, among other
representations and warranties, a representation and warranty of the Sponsor
that no Mortgage Loan is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey
Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, as defined in the New Mexico
Home Loan Protection Act effective January 1, 2004) as defined in the
Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act, effective November 7, 2004
(Mass. Xxx. Laws Ch. 183C) or as defined in the Indiana Home Loan Practices
Act,
effective January 1, 2005 (Ind. Code Xxx. Sections 24-9-1 through 24-9-9) and
(ii) Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans (which, by definition as set forth
herein and referred to in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, are required
to
conform to, among other representations and warranties, the representation
and
warranty of the Sponsor that no Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is a
“High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective
November 27, 2003, as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act
effective January 1, 2004, as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan

that any mortgage loan be included in the Trust Fund that is a “High-Cost Home
Loan” as defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27,
2003, as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act effective January
1,
2004, as defined in the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act,

Section
2.02 Acceptance
of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) Based
on
the initial trust receipt received by it from the Custodian pursuant to the
Custodial Agreement, the Trustee acknowledges receipt, subject to the provisions
of Section 2.01 hereof and Section 2 of the Custodial Agreement, of
the Mortgage Loan Documents and all other assets included in the definition
of
“REMIC I” under clauses (i), (ii) (iii), (v) and (vi) (to the extent of amounts
deposited into the Distribution Account) and declares that it holds (or the
Custodian on its behalf holds) and will hold such documents and the other
documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage Loan Document, and that it
holds (or the Custodian on its behalf holds) or will hold all such assets and
such other assets included in the definition of “REMIC I” in trust for the
exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders.
(b) In
conducting the review of the Mortgage Files in accordance with the Custodial
Agreement, the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf will ascertain whether all
required documents have been executed and received and whether those documents
relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B to this Agreement, as
supplemented. If the Custodian finds any document constituting part of the
Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to
the
Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B, the Sponsor shall correct or cure any
such defect or, if prior to the end of the second anniversary of the Closing
Date, the Sponsor may substitute for the related Mortgage Loan a Replacement
Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 or shall deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such defect does not materially
or adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage
Loan within sixty (60) days from the date of notice from the Custodian of the
defect and if the Sponsor fails to correct or cure the defect or deliver such
opinion within such period, the Sponsor will, subject to Section 2.03,
within ninety (90) days from the notification of the
Custodian purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price;
provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the
Sponsor to deliver the Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Custodian, or
intervening assignments thereof with evidence of recording thereon because
such
documents have been submitted for recording and have not been returned by the
applicable jurisdiction, the Sponsor shall not be required to purchase such
Mortgage Loan if the Sponsor delivers such documents promptly upon receipt,
but
in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date.
(c) No
later
than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf will
review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Mortgage Files and will
execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Sponsor and
the
Trustee, a final trust receipt substantially in the form annexed to the
Custodial Agreement. In conducting such review, the Custodian on the Trustee’s
behalf and in accordance with the terms of the Custodial Agreement will
ascertain whether each document required to be recorded has been returned from
the recording office with evidence of recording thereon and the Custodian on
the
Trustee’s behalf has received either an original or a copy thereof, as required
in the Custodial Agreement. If the Custodian finds that any document with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has not been received, or is unrelated to the
Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or appears to be defective on its face,
the Custodian shall note such defect in the exception report attached the final
trust receipt issued pursuant to the Custodial Agreement and the Sponsor shall
correct or cure any such defect or, if prior to the end of the second
anniversary of the Closing Date, the Sponsor may substitute for the related
Mortgage Loan a Replacement Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 2.03 or shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such defect does not materially or adversely affect the interests
of
the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan within sixty (60) days from the
date of notice from the Trustee of the defect and if the Sponsor is unable
within such period to correct or cure such defect, or to substitute the related
Mortgage Loan with a Replacement Mortgage Loan or to deliver such opinion,
the
Sponsor shall, subject to Section 2.03, within ninety (90) days from the
notification of the Trustee, purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price;
provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the
Sponsor to deliver the Mortgage, assignment thereof to the Trustee or
intervening assignments thereof with evidence of recording thereon, because
such
documents have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Sponsor
shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan, if the Sponsor delivers
such documents promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after
the Closing Date.
(d) In
the
event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Sponsor in accordance with
subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above or Section 2.03, the Sponsor shall remit
the applicable Purchase Price to the Servicer for deposit in the related
Custodial Account and shall provide written notice to the Securities
Administrator detailing the components of the Purchase Price, signed by an
authorized officer. Upon deposit of the Purchase Price in the related Custodial
Account and upon receipt of a request for release (in the form attached to
the
related Custodial Agreement) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Custodian,
on behalf of the Trustee, will release to the Sponsor the related Mortgage
File
and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or
assignment, without recourse, furnished to it by the Sponsor, as are necessary
to vest in the Sponsor title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such
purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the deposit
into
the related Custodial Account was made. The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Rating Agencies of such repurchase. The obligation of the Sponsor to cure,
repurchase or substitute for any Mortgage Loan as to which a defect in a
constituent document exists shall be the sole remedies respecting such defect
available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on their
behalf. The Sponsor shall promptly reimburse the Trustee for any
expenses incurred by the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such
breach.
(e) The
Sponsor shall deliver to the Custodian the Mortgage Note and other documents
constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan,
which the Custodian will review as provided in the Custodial Agreement,
provided, that the Closing Date referred to therein shall instead be the date
of
delivery of the Mortgage File with respect to each Replacement Mortgage
Loan.

Section 8 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that materially and

the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice thereof
to
the other parties. The Sponsor hereby covenants with respect to the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03(c)(viii), (ix) and
(x) and Section 8 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, that within
ninety (90) days of the discovery of a breach of any representation or warranty
set forth therein that materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in all
material respects and, if such breach is not so cured, (i) 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 Replacement 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 that any such
substitution pursuant to (i) above or repurchase pursuant to (ii) above shall
not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel
if
required by Section 2.05 and any such substitution pursuant to (i) above
shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Custodian of
a
request for release in accordance with the Custodial Agreement. The Sponsor
shall promptly reimburse the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by
the
Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. To enable the
related Servicer to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Sponsor shall, unless
it cures such breach in a timely fashion pursuant to this Section 2.03,
promptly notify the Trustee whether it intends either to repurchase, or to
substitute for, the Mortgage Loan affected by such breach. With respect to
the
representations and warranties in Section 8 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement that are made to the best of the Sponsor’s knowledge, if it is
discovered by any of the Depositor, the Sponsor 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,
notwithstanding the Sponsor’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of
such representation or warranty, the Sponsor shall nevertheless be required
to
cure, substitute for or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan in accordance
with
the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any breach of a
representation or warranty contained in clauses (xxxvii), (xxxviii), (xxxix),
(xl) and/or (xlv) of Section 8 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall
be
automatically deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the
Certificateholders.
(d) With
respect to any Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Sponsor shall deliver
to
the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders such documents and
agreements as are required by Section 2 of the Custodial Agreement. No
substitution will be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date
for
such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans
in
the Due Period related to the Distribution Date on which such proceeds are
to be
distributed shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the
Sponsor. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders
will
include the Scheduled Payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for the related
Due Period and thereafter the Sponsor shall be entitled to retain all amounts
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The related Servicer shall
amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders
to
reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan
Schedule to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator.
Upon such substitution, the Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject
to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Sponsor shall be deemed
to have made with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of
the
date of substitution, the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 8 of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to such
Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit into the related
Custodial Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection
with such substitution as described in the following paragraph and receipt
by
the Custodian of a request for release for such Mortgage Loan in accordance
with
the Custodial Agreement, the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee shall release
to
the Sponsor the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan and held
for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee shall execute and
deliver at the Sponsor’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment as
have been prepared by the Sponsor, in each case without recourse, as shall
be
necessary to vest in the Sponsor, or its respective designee, title to the
Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this
Section 2.03. Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian shall have
any further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File.
For
any
month in which the Sponsor substitutes one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans
for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, the Securities Administrator will determine the
amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all the Replacement
Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the Stated Principal
Balance (after application of the principal portion of the Scheduled Payment
due
in the month of substitution) of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. An amount equal
to
the aggregate of such deficiencies, described in the preceding sentence for
any
Distribution Date (such amount, the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) shall be
remitted to the related Servicer for deposit in the related Custodial Account
by
the Sponsor delivering such Replacement Mortgage Loan on or before the
Determination Date for the Distribution Date relating to the Prepayment Period
during which the related Mortgage Loan was required to be purchased or replaced
hereunder.
In
the
event that the Sponsor shall be required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan, the
Purchase Price therefor shall be remitted to the related Servicer for deposit
in
the related Custodial Account, on or before the Determination Date immediately
following the date on which the Sponsor was required to repurchase such Mortgage
Loan. The Purchase Price shall be remitted by the related Servicer to
the Securities Administrator on the Remittance Date occurring in the month
immediately following the month in which the Purchase Price was deposited in
the
related Custodial Account. In addition, upon such deposit of the Purchase Price,
the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate by the Servicer (which shall be
delivered no more than two (2) Business Days following such deposit) to the
Trustee certifying that the Purchase Price has been deposited in the related
Custodial Account, the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel if required by
Section 2.05 and the receipt of a Request for Release, the Trustee shall
release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders
to the Sponsor, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at such Person’s
direction the related instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the
Sponsor, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer title
from the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and transfer the
Trustee’s interest to the Sponsor to any Mortgage Loan purchased pursuant to
this Section 2.03. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation under this Agreement of the Sponsor to cure, repurchase or replace
any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred or is continuing shall
constitute the sole remedies against the Sponsor respecting such breach
available to each Certificateholder, the Depositor or the Trustee.

(i) The
Depositor is duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full power and
authority (corporate and other) necessary to own or hold its properties and
to
conduct its business as now conducted by it and to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement.
(ii) The
Depositor has the full corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform, and to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by,
this
Agreement and has duly authorized, by all necessary corporate action on its
part, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; and this
Agreement, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by
the
other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
the
Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in accordance with its terms,
subject, as to enforceability, to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium
receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and
(ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of
equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion
of
the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought and further
subject to public policy with respect to indemnity and contribution under
applicable securities law.
(iii) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Depositor, the consummation
of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the fulfillment of or
compliance with the terms hereof are in the ordinary course of business of
the
Depositor and will not (A) result in a material breach of any term or provision
of the charter or by-laws of the Depositor or (B) materially conflict with,
result in a material breach, violation or acceleration of, or result in a
material default under, the terms of any other material agreement or instrument
to which the Depositor is a party or by which it may be bound or (C) constitute
a material violation of any statute, order or regulation applicable to the
Depositor of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental
body having jurisdiction over the Depositor; and the Depositor is not in breach
or violation of any material indenture or other material agreement or
instrument, or in violation of any statute, order or regulation of any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction
over it which breach or violation may materially impair the Depositor’s ability
to perform or meet any of its obligations under this Agreement.
(iv) No
litigation is pending, or, to the best of the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened,
against the Depositor that would materially and adversely affect the execution,
delivery or enforceability of this Agreement or the ability of the Depositor
to
perform its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms
hereof.
(v) No
consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency
or
body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor
of, or compliance by the Depositor with, this Agreement or the consummation
of
the transactions contemplated hereby, or if any such consent, approval,
authorization or order is required, the Depositor has obtained the
same.
The
Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee as of the Closing Date,
following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Sponsor, the Depositor
had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Notes were subject
to no offsets, claims, defenses or counterclaims.
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 or
the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Upon discovery by
the
Depositor, GMACM, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of such
representations and warranties, 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 and
Repurchases.
(a) Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan
that
is not in default or as to which default is not imminent, no repurchase or
substitution pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.03 shall be made unless the Sponsor
delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, to
the
effect that such repurchase or substitution would not (i) result in the
imposition of the tax on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC created
hereunder or contributions after the Closing Date, as defined in sections
860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively or (ii) cause any REMIC to
fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Any
Mortgage Loan as to which repurchase or substitution was delayed pursuant to
this paragraph shall be repurchased or the substitution therefor shall occur
(subject to compliance with Sections 2.02 or 2.03) upon the earlier of (a)
the
occurrence of a default or imminent default with respect to such Mortgage Loan
and (b) receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such
repurchase or substitution, as applicable, will not result in the events
described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
(b) Upon
discovery by the Depositor or the Sponsor 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 and the Trustee. In connection therewith, the Sponsor, at its
option, shall either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c)
with respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Replacement Mortgage Loan for
the
affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within
ninety (90) days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage
Loan for a breach of representation or warranty contained in Section 2.03.
The Trustee shall reconvey to the Sponsor 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.

ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS; ACCOUNTS
Section
3.01 GMACM
to act as Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans.
The
obligations of GMACM hereunder to service and administer the Mortgage Loans
shall be limited to the GMACM Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the duties
and
obligations of GMACM, references herein to the related Mortgage Loans shall
be
limited to the GMACM Mortgage Loans (and the related proceeds thereof and
related REO Properties) and references to the related Servicer or such Servicer
in connection with the performance of the servicing obligations specified in
this Agreement and all obligations arising hereunder by the related Servicer
in
connection with the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans shall be deemed
to
be references to GMACM or any successor thereto responsible for the servicing
and administration of the GMACM Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement. Any reference in this Section 3,01 to the “Servicer”
or the “related Servicer” shall be deemed to refer to GMACM unless indicated
otherwise, and any reference to the “Mortgage Loans” or “related Mortgage Loans”
shall be deemed to refer to the GMACM Mortgage Loans unless indicated
otherwise. The Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loans will be serviced and
administered by Xxxxx Fargo pursuant to the terms and provisions of the
Servicing Agreement and Xxxxx Fargo shall have no obligation to adhere to the
provisions of this Agreement in connection with the servicing and administration
of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loans. In addition, GMACM will have no
responsibility to service or administer the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loans or have
any other obligation or liability with respect to the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage
Loans
or the Servicing Agreement.
GMACM
shall service and administer the related Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust
Fund and in the best interest of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders
(as determined by GMACM in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with the
terms
of this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and to the extent consistent
with such terms and in accordance with and exercising the same care in
performing those practices that GMACM customarily employs and exercises in
servicing and administering mortgage loans for its own account and of the same
type as such Mortgage Loans in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged
Properties are located (including, compliance with all applicable federal,
state
and local laws).
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, GMACM shall seek the timely and complete
recovery of principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes related to the Mortgage
Loans and shall waive a Prepayment Charge only under the following
circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar
mortgage loans and (ii) either (A) such waiver is related to a default or
reasonably foreseeable default and would, in the reasonable judgment of GMACM,
maximize recovery of total proceeds taking into account the value of such
Prepayment Charge and the related Mortgage Loan and, if such waiver is made
in
connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan, such refinancing
is
related to a default or a reasonably foreseeable default or (B) such waiver
is
made in connection with a refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan unrelated
to
a default or a reasonably foreseeable default where (x) the related Mortgagor
has stated to the related Servicer an intention to refinance the related
Mortgage Loan and (y) the related Servicer has concluded in its reasonable
judgment that the waiver of such Prepayment Charge would induce such Mortgagor
to refinance with GMACM, (iii) GMACM reasonably believes such Prepayment Charge
is unenforceable in accordance with applicable law or the collection of such
related Prepayment Charge would otherwise violate applicable law or (iv) the
collection of such Prepayment Charge would be considered “predatory” pursuant to
written guidance published or issued by any applicable federal, state or local
regulatory authority acting in its official capacity and having jurisdiction
over such matters. If a Prepayment Charge is waived as permitted by
meeting both of the standards described in clauses (i) and (ii)(B) above, then
GMACM is required to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge (the
“Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amount”), for the benefit of the Holders of
the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the related Custodial
Account within ninety (90) days of notice or discovery of such waiver meeting
the standard set forth in both clauses (i) and (ii)(B) above; provided, however,
that GMACM shall not waive more than five percent (5%) of the Prepayment Charges
(by number of Prepayment Charges) set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in
accordance with clauses (i) and (ii)(B) above. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement, any payments made by GMACM in respect of
any
waived Prepayment Charges pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii)(B) above and the
preceding sentence shall be deemed to be paid outside of the Trust
Fund.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if GMACM waives a
Prepayment Charge in breach of the foregoing paragraph, GMACM will pay the
amount of such waived Prepayment Charge, from its own funds without any right
of
reimbursement, for the benefit of the Holders of the Class P Certificates by
depositing such amount into the related Custodial Account within ninety (90)
days of the earlier of discovery by GMACM or receipt of notice by GMACM of
such
breach. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, any payments made by GMACM in respect of any waived Prepayment
Charges pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to be paid outside of the
Trust Fund.
Subject
only to the above-described applicable servicing standards (the “Accepted
Servicing Practices”) and the terms of this Agreement and of the respective
Mortgage Loans, GMACM shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or
through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.03, to do or cause to be done
any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with
such servicing and administration, including but not limited to, the power
and
authority, 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 related Mortgaged
Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only
in the manner provided herein), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and
other Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) subject to Section 3.09, to effectuate
foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property
securing any Mortgage Loan serviced by GMACM.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, GMACM, in its own name or in the
name
of the Trust, the Depositor or the Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered
by the Trust, the Depositor and the Trustee, when GMACM believes it appropriate
in its reasonable judgment, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee,
the Depositor and 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 related
Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the related Mortgaged Properties held for
the benefit of the Certificateholders. GMACM shall prepare and deliver to the
Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents requiring execution and delivery
by
any or all of them as are necessary or appropriate to enable GMACM to service
and administer the related Mortgage Loans. Upon receipt of such documents,
the
Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such documents and deliver them
to
GMACM. In addition, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of GMACM,
and furnish to it any special or limited powers of attorney agreeable to the
Trustee and its counsel applicable to all locations in which the Mortgaged
Properties are located and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable
GMACM to carry out its servicing and administrative duties, provided such
limited powers of attorney or other documents shall be prepared by GMACM and
submitted to the Trustee for review prior to
execution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the
Trustee shall in no way be liable or responsible for the willful malfeasance
of
GMACM, or for the wrongful or negligent actions taken by GMACM, while GMACM
is
acting pursuant to the powers granted to it in this paragraph.
In
accordance with the standards of the first paragraph of this Section 3.01,
GMACM 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
relating to the related Mortgage Loans in order to preserve the lien on the
related Mortgaged Property, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first
instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to
Section 3.27, and further as provided in Section 3.32. All costs
incurred by GMACM, if any, in effecting the payments of such taxes and
assessments on the related Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums
shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the
Certificateholders, be added to the Stated Principal Balance under the related
Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so
permit.
Section
3.02 Due-on-Sale
Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
(a) Except
as
otherwise provided in this Section 3.02, when any Mortgaged Property has
been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the related 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, no Servicer shall be required
to exercise such rights with respect to a Mortgage Loan serviced by such
Servicer 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
related 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, such Servicer
is authorized, subject to Section 3.02(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 related
Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the related
Servicer enters into such an agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance
Policies. The related Servicer, subject to Section 3.02(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, no Servicer shall be deemed to be in default
under this Section 3.02(a) by reason of any transfer or assumption that
such Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law from
preventing.
(b) Subject
to the related Servicer’s duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent
set forth in Section 3.02(a), 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 related Mortgage Loan, the related 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
(including, but not limited to, (a) the Mortgage Rate, (b) the amount of the
Scheduled Payment and (c) any other term affecting the amount or timing of
payment on the related Mortgage Loan) may be changed. In addition, the
substitute Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the
related Servicer in accordance with the servicing standard set forth in
Section 3.01. The related Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such
substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the
Custodian 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 a Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement will be retained by such Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.
Section
3.03 Subservicers.
The
related Servicer shall perform all of its servicing responsibilities hereunder
or may cause a Subservicer to perform any such servicing responsibilities on
its
behalf, but the use by such Servicer of a Subservicer shall not release such
Servicer from any of its obligations hereunder with respect to the related
Mortgage Loans. Any 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
and
the related Servicer shall cause any Subservicer to comply with the provisions
of this Agreement (including, without limitation, to provide the information
required to be delivered under Sections 3.13, 3.14 and 3.18 hereof), to the
same
extent as if such Subservicer were the related Servicer. Each
Subservicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states
where the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and
to
the extent required by applicable law to enable the Subservicer to perform
its
obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing Agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx
Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. The related Servicer
shall promptly, upon request, provide to the Master Servicer and the Depositor
a
written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer
and the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subservicer utilized by
such
Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of each such Subservicer, (ii) which
(if
any) of such Subservicer is “participating in the servicing function” within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing
Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each
Subservicer identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this subsection; provided,
however, that no Servicer shall be required to provide the information in clause
(i) or (ii) of this subsection until such time that the applicable assessment
of
compliance is due in accordance with Section 3.14 of this
Agreement. The related Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining
from each Subservicer engaged by it and delivering to the Master Servicer any
annual statement of compliance, assessment of compliance, attestation report
and
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx related certification as and when required to be
delivered. The related Servicer shall pay all fees of each of its
Subservicers from its own funds.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, the related Servicer
shall be entitled to outsource one or more separate servicing functions to
any
person that does not meet the eligibility requirements for a Subservicer (each
such person, a “Subcontractor”), so long as such outsourcing does not constitute
the delegation of such Servicer’s obligation to perform all or substantially all
of the servicing of the related Mortgage Loans to such
Subcontractor. The related Servicer shall promptly, upon request,
provide to the Master Servicer and the Depositor a written description (in
form
and substance satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the Depositor) of the
role
and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer, specifying (i)
the
identity of each such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subservicer
and
Subcontractors are “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning
of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing
Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each
Subcontractor identified pursuant to clause (ii) of this
subsection. In such event, the use by a Servicer of any such
Subcontractor shall not release such Servicer from any of its obligations
hereunder and such Servicer shall remain responsible hereunder for all acts
and
omissions of such Subcontractor as fully as if such acts and omissions were
those of the related Servicer, and the related Servicer shall pay all fees
and
expenses of the Subcontractor from the related Servicer’s own
funds.
As
a
condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, the related Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used
by
it for the benefit of the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Depositor to
comply with the provisions of Sections 3.13, 3.14 and 3.18 of this Agreement
to
the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicer. The related
Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each Subcontractor and
delivering to the Master Servicer and any Depositor any compliance statement,
assessment of compliance, attestation report and Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx related
certification required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under
Section 3.13, 3.14 and 3.18, in each case as and when required to be
delivered.
At
the
cost and expense of the related Servicer, without any right of reimbursement
from the related Custodial Account, such Servicer shall be entitled to terminate
the rights and responsibilities of a Subservicer or Subcontractor and arrange
for any servicing responsibilities to be performed by a successor Subservicer
or
Subcontractor; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to prevent or prohibit the related Servicer, at its option, from electing to
service the related Mortgage Loans itself. In the event that the related
Servicer’s responsibilities and duties under this Agreement are terminated
pursuant to Section 8.01, such Servicer shall at its own cost and expense
terminate the rights and responsibilities of each Subservicer and Subcontractor
with respect to the related Mortgage Loans effective as of the date of such
Servicer’s termination. The related Servicer shall pay all fees, expenses or
penalties necessary in order to terminate the rights and responsibilities of
each Subservicer and Subcontractor from such Servicer’s own funds without
reimbursement from the Trust Fund.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Servicer shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with
respect to the related Mortgage Loans and shall be obligated to the same extent
and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and
administering the related Mortgage Loans. The related Servicer shall be entitled
to enter into an agreement with a Subservicer or Subcontractor, as applicable,
for indemnification of such Servicer by the Subservicer or Subcontractor, as
applicable, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or
modify such indemnification.
Any
Subservicing Agreement and any other transactions or services relating to the
Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer or Subcontractor shall be deemed to
be
between such Subservicer or Subcontractor and the related Servicer alone, and
neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any obligations, duties
or liabilities with respect to such Subservicer or Subcontractor including
any
obligation, duty or liability of Master Servicer or the Trustee to pay such
Subservicer’s or Subcontractor’s fees and expenses or any differential in the
amount of the servicing fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to induce
any successor servicer to act as successor servicer under this Agreement and
the
transactions provided for in this Agreement. For purposes of remittances to
the
Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, the related Servicer shall
be deemed to have received a payment on a Mortgage Loan when a Subservicer
or
Subcontractor engaged by such Servicer has received such payment.
Section
3.04 Documents,
Records and Funds in Possession of a Servicer To Be Held for
Trustee.
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, the related Servicer shall transmit
to
the Trustee as required by this Agreement all documents and instruments in
respect of a Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer coming into the possession
of such Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to the Securities
Administrator for any funds received by such Servicer or that otherwise are
collected by such Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in
respect of any such Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds
collected or held by, or under the control of, a Servicer in respect of any
Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer, whether from the collection of
principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but
not
limited to, any funds on deposit in the related Custodial Account, shall be
held
by such 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 related Servicer also agrees that it shall not create,
incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the
related Custodial Account, the Distribution Account or in 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 set off against any Mortgage File
or
any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however,
that such Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any
such
funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the related Servicer
under this Agreement.
Section
3.05 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance.
(a) The
related Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan serviced
by
such Servicer hazard insurance with extended coverage on the Mortgaged Property
in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the Stated Principal
Balance of such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate
for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property
on a
replacement cost basis, in each case in an amount not less than such amount
as
is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause contained in
the
related hazard insurance policy. The related Servicer shall also cause to be
maintained hazard insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in
an
amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value
of the improvements which are a part of such REO Property and (ii) the Stated
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO
Property. The related Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement
with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any such hazard
policies. Any amounts collected by the related Servicer under any such policies
(other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the property
subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor
in
accordance with the procedures that such Servicer would follow in servicing
loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and conditions of the
related Mortgage and Mortgage Note and in accordance with the servicing standard
set forth in Section 3.01) shall be deposited in the related Custodial
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.27. Any cost incurred
by the related Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the
purpose of calculating distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to
the
Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that
the
terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no
earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor
other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any
time
be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If a Mortgaged
Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards and flood insurance has been made available, the related Servicer shall
cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood
insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Stated Principal
Balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such
insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national flood
insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged Property
is
located is participating in such program).
In
the
event that the related Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy
with
an insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, or having a General Policy
Rating of B:VI or better in Best’s Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that
is comparable to such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the
Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicer, it shall conclusively be deemed to
have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this
Section 3.05, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the related Servicer shall, in the event that
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO
Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this
Section 3.05, and there shall have been one or more losses which would have
been covered by such policy, deposit to the related Custodial Account maintained
by such Servicer from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under
the
blanket policy because of such deductible clause. In connection with its
activities as administrator and servicer of the related Mortgage Loans, the
related Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee
and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion
in accordance with the terms of such policy.
(b) The
related Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy
or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of such Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, which policy or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans, unless
such Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The related Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer, upon
request, with copies of such insurance policies and fidelity bond (or waiver
thereof). The related Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form
and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless
such Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The related Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this
provision if one of its Affiliates has such errors and omissions and fidelity
bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond,
the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to such Servicer. Any such errors and
omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Master Servicer. The related
Servicer shall also cause its Subservicers to maintain a policy of insurance
covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such
requirements.
Section
3.06 Presentment
of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.
The
related Servicer shall prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders all claims under the applicable Insurance Policies and take
such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement
of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such
Insurance Policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the related Servicer in respect
of
such Insurance Policies shall, within two Business Days of its receipt, be
deposited in the related Custodial Account, except that any amounts realized
that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged
Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on the related
Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable Insurance Policy need not
be
so deposited (or remitted).
Section
3.07 Maintenance
of Insurance Policies.
The
related Servicer shall not take any action that would result in noncoverage
under any applicable Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions
of
such Servicer would have been covered thereunder. The related
Servicer shall use its best efforts to keep in force and effect (to the extent
that the related Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such
insurance), any applicable Insurance Policy. The related Servicer shall not
cancel or refuse to renew any Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date
of
the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force
hereunder.
Section
3.08 Reserved.
Section
3.09 Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Determination of Excess Liquidation Proceeds
and
Realized Losses; Repurchases of Certain Mortgage Loans.
(a) The
related Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage
Loans serviced by such Servicer 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 related
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 the requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance
Policy; provided that the related 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 related 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 related Custodial Account). If
a
Mortgage Loan becomes 180 days delinquent and the related Servicer, in its
reasonable good faith judgment, determines that the recovery of principal with
respect to such Mortgage Loan will not materially be in excess of the cost
of
foreclosure or other liquidation of the Mortgage Loan, then the related Servicer
will be deemed to have made a Final Recovery Determination with respect to
such
Mortgage Loan and the related Servicer may charge off such Mortgage Loan at
any
time thereafter. If the related Servicer reasonably believes that Liquidation
Proceeds with respect to any such Mortgage Loan would not be increased as a
result of such foreclosure or other action, such Mortgage Loan will be
charged-off and will become a Liquidated Loan. The related Servicer will give
notice of any such charge-off to the Securities Administrator. The related
Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by
it in
any such proceedings; provided that such costs and expenses shall be Servicing
Advances and that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the
proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated
in
Section 3.27. If the related Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged
Property that such Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is located within a one-mile radius of any site
with
environmental or hazardous waste risks known to such Servicer, such Servicer
shall, 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 the
Trustee’s 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 related Servicer shall ensure that the
title
to such REO Property references this Agreement and the Trustee’s capacity
hereunder. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the related
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by such 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 such Servicer deems
to be in the best interest of such Servicer and the Certificateholders, for
the
period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The related Servicer shall
prepare for and deliver to the Securities Administrator 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 management and
maintenance of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the
Securities Administrator 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 related Custodial Account no later than the close of
business on each Determination Date. The related Servicer shall perform the
tax
reporting and withholding related to foreclosures, abandonments and cancellation
of indebtedness income as specified by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the
Code by preparing and filing such tax and information returns, as may be
required.
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 related Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to three
years after its acquisition by the Trust Fund or, at the expense of the Trust
Fund, request from the Internal Revenue Service more than 60 days prior to
the
day on which such three-year period would otherwise expire, an extension of
the
three-year grace period. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall
be
supplied with an Opinion of Counsel (such opinion not to be an expense of the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator or the Trust Fund) to the effect that
the
holding by the Trust Fund of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to such
three-year period will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited
transactions” of REMIC I as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause REMIC I
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding,
in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property
(subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel).
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 REMIC I 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 related
Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect
to the imposition of any such taxes.
The
decision of the related Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted Mortgage Loan
shall
be subject to a determination by such 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 Mortgaged Properties acquired
through foreclosure or other judicial proceeding, net of reimbursement to the
related Servicer for expenses incurred (including any property or other taxes)
in connection with such management and net of unreimbursed Servicing Fees,
unreimbursed Master Servicing Fees, Advances, Servicing Advances and any
management fee paid or to be paid with respect to the management of such
Mortgaged Property, shall be applied to the payment of principal of, and
interest on, the 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 the Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and interest
on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the related Custodial
Account. To the extent the income received during a Prepayment Period is in
excess of the amount attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest
at the related Mortgage Rate on the Mortgage Loan, such excess shall be
considered to be a partial Principal Prepayment for all purposes
hereof.
The
Liquidation Proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, net of any payment
to the related Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the related
Custodial Account on the next succeeding Determination Date following receipt
thereof for distribution on the related Distribution Date, except that any
Excess Liquidation Proceeds shall be retained by the related Servicer as
additional servicing compensation.
The
proceeds of any Liquidated Loan, as well as any recovery resulting from a
partial collection of Liquidation Proceeds or any income from an REO Property,
shall be applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the
related Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Servicing
Fees, pursuant to Section 3.27 or this Section 3.09; second, to
reimburse the related Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances, pursuant to
Section 3.27 or this Section 3.09; third, to accrued and unpaid
interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount) on the
Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at the Net Mortgage Rate to the first
day
of the month in which such amounts are required to be distributed; and fourth,
as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan.
(b) On
each
Determination Date, the related Servicer shall determine the respective
aggregate amounts of Excess Liquidation Proceeds and Realized Losses, if any,
with respect to any Mortgage Loan for the related Prepayment Period and report
the same to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.28.
(c) The
related Servicer hereby covenants to the parties hereto that it has no intent
to
foreclose on any Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer based on the
delinquency characteristics as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that
the
foregoing does not prevent the related Servicer from initiating foreclosure
proceedings on any date hereafter if the facts and circumstances of such
Mortgage Loans including delinquency characteristics in the related Servicer’s
discretion so warrant such action.
Section
3.10 Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the related Servicer shall be
entitled to retain or withdraw from the related Custodial Account out of each
payment of interest on each Mortgage Loan serviced by such Servicer included
in
the Trust Fund an amount equal to the related Servicing Fee. In
addition, the related Servicer shall be entitled to recover any unpaid Servicing
Fees payable to it out of Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or
condemnation proceeds with respect to the related Mortgage Loans to the extent
permitted by Section 3.27.
Additional
servicing compensation with respect to Mortgage Loans in the form of any Excess
Liquidation Proceeds, assumption fees, late payment charges, insufficient funds
charges and ancillary income to the extent such fees or charges are received
by
the related Servicer, all income and gain net of any losses realized from
Permitted Investments with respect to funds in or credited to the related
Custodial Account shall be retained by such Servicer to the extent not required
to be deposited in such Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.27. The
related Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in
connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of any
premiums for hazard insurance, as required by Section 3.05 and maintenance
of the other forms of insurance coverage required by Section 3.07 and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
herein.
Section
3.11 REO
Property.
(a) In
the
event the Trust Fund acquires ownership of any REO Property in respect of any
related Mortgage Loan, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the
Trustee, or to its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
related Servicer shall sell any REO Property as expeditiously as possible and
in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Pursuant to its efforts to
sell such REO Property, the related Servicer shall protect and conserve such
REO
Property in the manner and to the extent required herein, in accordance with
the
REMIC Provisions.
(b) The
related Servicer shall deposit all funds collected and received in connection
with the operation of any REO Property into the related Custodial
Account.
(c) The
related Servicer, upon the final disposition of any REO Property, shall be
entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Advances, unreimbursed
Servicing Advances or Servicing Fees from Liquidation Proceeds received in
connection with the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that
any
such unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Fees as well as any unpaid Servicing
Fees may be reimbursed or paid, as the case may be, prior to final disposition,
out of any net rental income or other net amounts derived from such REO
Property.
Section
3.12 Liquidation
Reports.
Upon
the
foreclosure of any Mortgaged Property or the acquisition thereof by the Trust
Fund pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the related Servicer shall
submit a liquidation report to the Trustee containing such information as shall
be mutually acceptable to the Servicer and the Trustee with respect to such
Mortgaged Property.
Section
3.13 Annual
Statement as to Compliance.
(a) The
related Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator shall
deliver or otherwise make available (and shall cause each Servicing Function
Participant engaged by it to deliver) to the Depositor and the Securities
Administrator on or before March 15 of each year, commencing in March 2008,
an
Officer’s Certificate stating, as to the signer thereof, that (A) a review of
such party’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion thereof
and of such Servicing Function Participant’s performance under this Agreement,
or such other applicable agreement in the case of a Servicing Function
Participant, has been made under such officer’s supervision and (B) to the best
of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, such party has fulfilled all
its obligations under this Agreement, or such other applicable agreement in
the
case of a Servicing Function Participant (other than the related Servicer,
the
Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator), in all material respects
throughout such year or portion thereof, or, if there has been a failure to
fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such
failure known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.
(b) (i) For
so long as the Trust Fund is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements,
failure of the related Servicer to comply timely with this Section 3.13
shall be deemed a Servicer Default as to such Servicer, without any cure period,
and the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee may, in
addition to whatever rights the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
may have under this Agreement and at law or in equity or to damages, including
injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights and
obligations of such Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the related
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating such Servicer
for
the same. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall so
terminate the defaulting Servicer by delivery of notice thereof via first class
mail, facsimile or electronic mail. This paragraph shall supersede
any other provision in this Agreement or any other agreement to the
contrary.
(ii) After
the
Trust Fund ceases to be subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, failure
of the related Servicer to comply timely with this Section 3.13 shall be
deemed a Servicer Default as provided for in
Section 8.01(a)(viii). The Master Servicer shall notify the
Trustee and the Trustee may, terminate the defaulting Servicer by delivery
of
notice thereof via first class mail, facsimile or electronic mail.
(c) The
Master Servicer shall include all annual statements of compliance received
by it
from the related Servicer and any Servicing Function Participant with its own
annual statement of compliance to be submitted to the Securities Administrator
pursuant to this Section 3.13.
(d) Copies
of
any Master Servicer annual statements of compliance required to be delivered
hereunder shall be provided to any Certificateholder upon request at the Master
Servicer’s expense.
(e) In
the
event the related Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator
or
any other Servicing Function Participant is terminated or resigns pursuant
to
the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable agreement in the case of such
other Servicing Function Participant, as the case may be, such party shall
provide or cause such other Servicing Function Participant to provide an
Officer’s Certificate pursuant to this Section 3.13 with respect to the
period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any other applicable
agreement, as the case may be.
Section
3.14 Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation Reports.
(a) By
March
15 of each year, commencing in March 2008, the related Servicer, the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator, each at its own expense and pursuant
to Item 1122(a) of Regulation AB, shall furnish or otherwise make available,
and
shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to furnish, which
in each case shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, to the Securities
Administrator and the Depositor, a report on an assessment of compliance with
the Relevant Servicing Criteria that contains (A) a statement by such party
of
its responsibility for assessing compliance with the Relevant Servicing
Criteria, (B) a statement that such party used the Relevant Servicing Criteria
to assess compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria, (C) such party’s
assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria for the period
consisting of the prior calendar year, including, if there has been any material

of
each such failure and the nature and status thereof, and (D) a statement that
a
registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on such
party’s assessment of compliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria for the
period consisting of the prior calendar year.
(b) No
later
than the end of each calendar year, the related Servicer and the Master Servicer
shall forward to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, the name of
each Servicing Function Participant engaged by it and what Relevant Servicing
Criteria will be addressed in the report on assessment of compliance prepared
by
such Servicing Function Participant; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
need not provide such information to the Securities Administrator so long as
the
Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity. When
the
related Servicer and the Master Servicer (or any Servicing Function Participant
engaged by them) submit their assessments to the Securities Administrator,
such
parties will also at such time include the assessment (and attestation pursuant
to paragraph (c) below) of each Servicing Function Participant engaged by
it.
Promptly
after receipt of each such report on assessment of compliance, (i) the Depositor
shall review each such report and, if applicable, consult with the related
Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and any Servicing
Function Participant engaged by such parties as to the nature of any material
instance of noncompliance with the Relevant Servicing Criteria by each such
party, and (ii) the Securities Administrator shall confirm that the assessments,
taken as a whole, address all of the Servicing Criteria and taken individually
address the Relevant Servicing Criteria for each party as set forth on Exhibit
L
and on any similar exhibit set forth in the Servicing Agreement in respect
of
Xxxxx Fargo, and notify the Depositor of any exceptions.
In
the
event a Servicing Function Participant is terminated, assigns its rights and
obligations under, or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any
other applicable agreement, as the case may be, such party shall provide, or
cause a Servicing Function Participant engaged by it to provide, a report on
assessment of compliance pursuant to this Section 3.14 with respect to the
period of time it was subject to this Agreement or any other applicable
agreement, as the case may be.
The
Master Servicer shall include such annual report on assessment of compliance
with its own assessment of compliance to be submitted to the Securities
Administrator pursuant to this Section.
(c) By
March
15 of each year, commencing in March 2008, the related Servicer, the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator, each at its own expense, shall cause,
and shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such party to
cause, which in each case shall not be an expense of the trust, a registered
public accounting firm (which may also render other services to such Servicing
Function Participants) and that is a member of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants to furnish a report to the Master Servicer and
Securities Administrator to the effect that (i) it has obtained a representation
regarding certain matters from the management of such party, which includes
an
assertion that such party has complied with the Relevant Servicing Criteria,
and
(ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with
standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the PCAOB, it is
expressing an opinion as to whether such party’s compliance with the Relevant
Servicing Criteria was fairly stated in all material respects, or it cannot
express an overall opinion regarding such party’s assessment of compliance with
the Relevant Servicing Criteria. In the event that an overall opinion
cannot be expressed, such registered public accounting firm shall state in
such
report why it was unable to express such an opinion. Such report must
be available for general use and not contain restricted use
language.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of Section 3.14, (i) in the event that during any

and in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without

behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a request for release substantially in
the
form attached to the Custodial Agreement signed by an Authorized Servicer
Representative or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in
lieu
of a signature on its face, originate from an Authorized Servicer Representative
(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts

in
the related Custodial Account pursuant to Article V have been or will be so
deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,

Authorized Servicer Representative), release the related Mortgage File held
in
its possession or control to the related Servicer. Such request for release

on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by such Person no longer exists
unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of
a
certificate of an Authorized Servicer Representative similar to that hereinabove

Section
3.24 Optional
Purchase of Certain Mortgage Loans.
With
respect to any Mortgage Loan which is delinquent in payment by ninety-one (91)
days or more or is an REO Property, the Sponsor shall have the right to purchase
such Mortgage Loan or REO Property from the Trust Fund at a price equal to
the
Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be remitted to the related
Servicer for deposit in the related Custodial Account and remitted by the
Servicer to the Securities Administrator on the Remittance Date in the month
immediately following the month in which the Purchase Price was deposited in

for
such Mortgage Loan is subsequent to the Cut-off Date and the first Monthly
Payment is not made within thirty (30) days of such Due Date. Such purchase
shall be made at a price equal to the Purchase Price.
If
at any

a
Mortgage Loan and the related Servicer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the
Trustee (which shall be delivered no later than two (2) Business Days following

Mortgage Loan at the request of the Sponsor without recourse to the Sponsor
which shall succeed to all the Trustee’s, right, title and interest in and to
such Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents relative
thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for
security. The Sponsor will thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such
security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders with respect thereto. The Sponsor shall be
responsible for any transfer costs incurred with respect to a Mortgage Loan
purchased pursuant to this Section 3.24.
If
the
Sponsor is required to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this
Section 3.24, the related Servicer shall continue to service such Mortgage
Loan unless the Sponsor shall repurchase the servicing rights thereon on terms
mutually agreed to by the Sponsor and the related
Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
have no obligation to master service any Mortgage Loan that has been so
repurchased.
Section

may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge and (ii) extend the

Loan during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule
of
such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements,
and shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor in accordance with
Section 5.01. The related 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. In addition,
if
(x) a Mortgage Loan is in default or default is imminent or (y) the related
Servicer delivers to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator a REMIC
Opinion, the related Servicer may, (A) amend the related Mortgage Note to reduce

to the Mortgage Loans, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration
or
repair of the related Mortgaged Properties or released to the Mortgagor in
accordance with the related Servicer’s normal servicing procedures;
(iv) any

Section 3.26(c) in connection with any losses on Permitted

amounts required to be deposited by the related Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.05;

Purchase Price and the Purchase Price with respect to any Mortgage Loans
purchased by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 3.24; and
(ix) any
other
amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit by the related Servicer into the related
Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of
late
payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be deposited by
the
related Servicer. In the event that the related Servicer shall
deposit any amount not required to be deposited and not otherwise subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.27, it may at any time withdraw or direct
the institution maintaining the related Custodial Account, to withdraw such
amount from the related Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by
delivering written notice thereof to the institution maintaining the related
Custodial Account, that describes the amounts deposited in error in such
Custodial Account. The related Servicer shall maintain adequate records with
respect to all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited
in
a Custodial Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until
withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.27.
(c) The
institution that maintains any Custodial Account, or other authorized entity
shall invest the funds in such Custodial Account, in the manner directed by
the
related Servicer, in Permitted Investments which shall mature not later than
the
next succeeding Remittance Date and shall not be sold or disposed of prior
to
its maturity. 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 shall be for the benefit of the
related Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted to it monthly
as provided herein. The amount of any losses incurred in a Custodial Account
in
respect of any such investments shall be deposited by the related Servicer
into
such Custodial Account immediately as realized, out of its own
funds.
(d) The
related Servicer shall give at least thirty (30) days’ advance notice to the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Sponsor, each
Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of location of the
related Custodial Account prior to any change thereof.

related Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the related
Custodial Account for the following purposes:

related Mortgage Loans with respect to which such Advances were made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01; and (B) any unreimbursed
Advances with respect to the final liquidation of a related Mortgage Loan that
are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that late recoveries of
payments of principal and/or interest, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance
Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to
reimburse the related Servicer or an Advance Financing Person for such
unreimbursed Advances or (C) subject to Section 3.27(b), any unreimbursed
Advances to the extent of Amounts Held For Future Distribution funds held in
the
related Custodial Account relating to the Mortgage Loans that were not included
in the Available Distribution Amount for the preceding Distribution
Date;
(iii) to
reimburse itself or an Advance Financing Person for any Nonrecoverable
Advances;
(iv) to
reimburse itself from Insurance Proceeds for Insured Expenses covered by the
related Insurance Policy;
(v) to

to any Mortgage Loan shall be limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage

and/or interest, Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, condemnation proceeds
and purchase and repurchase proceeds) that represent late recoveries of the
payments for which such Servicing Advances were made;

Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.24, all amounts received thereon and not taken into

related Due Period (net of charges against or withdrawals from such Custodial
Account pursuant to this Section 3.27(a)), plus (b) all Advances, if any,
which the related Servicer is obligated to make pursuant to Section 5.01,
minus (c) any amounts attributable to Principal Prepayments, Liquidation

Remittance Date, together with any Compensating Interest required to be
deposited in such Custodial Account in connection with such Principal Prepayment
in accordance with Section 5.02, and minus (d) any amounts attributable to
Scheduled Payments collected but due on a Due Date or Due Dates subsequent
to
the first day of the month in which such Remittance Date occurs, which amounts
shall be remitted on the Remittance Date next succeeding the Due Date related
to
such Scheduled Payment.
With
respect to any remittance received by the Securities Administrator after the
Business Day on which such payment was due, the Securities Administrator shall
send written notice thereof to the related Servicer. The related
Servicer shall pay to the Securities Administrator interest on any such late
payment by such Servicer at an annual rate equal to Prime Rate (as defined
in
The Wall Street Journal) plus one percentage point, but in no event greater
than
the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall
be paid by the related Servicer to the Securities Administrator on the date
such
late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day
following the Business Day on which such payment was due and ending with the
Business Day on which such payment is made, both inclusive. The
payment by the related Servicer of any such interest, or the failure of the
Securities Administrator to notify the related Servicer of such interest, shall
not be deemed an extension of time for payment or a waiver of any Servicer
Default by the related Servicer.
The
related Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage
Loan
by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
related Custodial Account pursuant to subclauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi)

pursuant to subclause (iii), the related Servicer shall deliver to the Master
Servicer an Officer’s Certificate of an Authorized Servicer Representative
indicating the amount of any previous Advance or Servicing Advance determined
by
such Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related
Mortgage Loan(s), and their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable

ARTICLE
IV
ADMINISTRATION
AND MASTER SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Section
4.01 The
Master Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the
Servicers to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and shall have full power
and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable
in connection with such master servicing and administration. In
performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner
consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the
Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with the Servicers as necessary from
time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall
receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided
to
the Master Servicer by the Servicers and shall cause each Servicer to perform
and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or
observed by such Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement,
as
applicable. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately
monitor the servicing activities of the Servicers with respect to each Mortgage
Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided
in
the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments
to the Servicers and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and
corrected information, provide such information relating to the Mortgage Loans
to the Securities Administrator as shall be necessary to enable it to prepare
the statements specified in Section 5.06 and any other information and
statements required to be provided by the Securities Administrator
hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its
Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the
Distribution Accounts.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not have
any duty or obligation to enforce any Credit Risk Management Agreement that
the
Servicer is a party to (the “Servicer Credit Risk Management Agreement”) or to
supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of the Credit Risk Manager under
the Servicer Credit Risk Management Agreement with respect to any action taken
or not taken by the Servicer pursuant to a recommendation of the Credit Risk
Manager.
The
Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any limited
powers of attorney and other documents in form acceptable to the Trustee
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer and the Master Servicer to
service or master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and REO
Property. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any action of
the Master Servicer or a Servicer pursuant to any such limited power of attorney
and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer for
any
cost, liability or expense arising from the misuse thereof by the Master
Servicer or the related Servicer.
Section
4.02 Monitoring of
Servicers.
The
Master Servicer shall be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the
Servicers with their respective duties under this Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement. In the review of each Servicer’s activities, the Master
Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of such Servicer with regard to
such Servicer’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement, as applicable. In the event that the Master Servicer, in
its judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance
with
this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, or that a notice
should be sent pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would
constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the
Sponsor and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer (or, in the case of
Xxxxx Fargo, the Trustee) shall issue such notice or take such other action
as
it deems appropriate.
The
Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders
shall
enforce the obligations of the Servicers under this Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement, and the Master Servicer (or, if Xxxxx Fargo is the defaulting
Servicer, the Trustee) shall, in the event that a Servicer fails to perform
its
obligations in accordance with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable, subject to this Section, Article VIII and the Servicing
Agreement, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer hereunder
or
under the Servicing Agreement, as applicable in accordance with the provisions
of Article VIII or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master
Servicer (or, if Xxxxx Fargo is the defaulting Servicer, the Trustee) shall
act
as servicer of the Mortgage Loans or enter in to a new servicing agreement
with
a successor servicer selected by the Master Servicer (or, if Xxxxx Fargo is
the
defaulting Servicer, the Trustee); provided, however, it is understood and
acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition
(not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully
transferred to the Master Servicer, the Trustee or such successor
servicer. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal
prosecution of claims and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall
be in
such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in its good faith business judgment,
would require were it the owner of the Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided
that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal
action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received
indemnity reasonably acceptable to it for its costs and expenses in pursuing
such action.
To
the
extent that the costs and expenses related to the termination of a Servicer,
appointment of a Successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing
by the Master Servicer or the Trustee if Xxxxx Fargo is the defaulting Servicer
(including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due
diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential
termination of defaulting Servicer as a result of an event of default by such
Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer
of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required
by the Successor Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the
servicing data or otherwise to enable the Successor Servicer to service the
related Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement, as applicable) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated
Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable shall be entitled
to
reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Distribution
Accounts.
The
Master Servicer shall require the Servicer to comply with the remittance
requirements and other obligations set forth in this Agreement and the Servicing
Agreement.
If
the
Master Servicer or the Trustee acts as a Successor Servicer, it shall not assume
liability for the representations and warranties of the terminated Servicer,
if
any, that it replaces.
Section
4.03 Fidelity
Bond.
The
Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity
bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy that shall be in such form
and
amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or
trustees, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees
and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors
and omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations
hereunder. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond may
not be cancelable without thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the
Trustee.
Section
4.04 Power
to Act; Procedures.
The
Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full
power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of
Section 9.13 hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or
desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the
Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee the
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, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion
of
the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Loan, in each case, in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the
Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under
Section 4.02, shall not permit the Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally
take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action
reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set
forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the
case may be, would cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result
in
the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the
tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code
and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the
Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not
at
the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action
will not cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of a tax upon any REMIC. The Trustee shall furnish the
Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer or an Authorized
Servicer Representative, with any powers of attorney (in form acceptable to
Trustee) empowering the Master Servicer, or the related Servicer to execute
and
deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged
Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to
the
Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with this Agreement,
and
the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master
Servicer or the related Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer
to
master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties
hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices
(and the Trustee shall have no liability for the misuse of any such powers
of
attorney by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer and shall be indemnified
by the Master Servicer or the related Servicer, as applicable, for any costs,
liabilities or expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such
misuse). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that
it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit
such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be
adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such
action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee
in
the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.10
hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those
instances where it is taking action authorized pursuant to this Agreement to
be
taken by it in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the
Trustee.
Section
4.05 Due-on-Sale
Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
To
the
extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master
Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with
this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. If applicable law
prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise
not enforced in accordance with this Agreement, and, as a consequence, a
Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability
in accordance with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable.
Section
4.06 Documents,
Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer To Be Held for
Trustee.
The
Master Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee or Custodian such documents and
instruments coming into the possession of the Master Servicer from time to
time
as are required by the terms hereof to be delivered to the Trustee or the
Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer in respect of
any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected by the Master Servicer as
Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect
of
any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders subject to the Master Servicer’s right to retain or withdraw
from the Distribution Account the Master Servicing Fee and other amounts
provided in this Agreement. The Master Servicer, to the extent
required by Article III or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall cause
each Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding
the
related Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, its agents and accountants at any time
upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to the
Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance
companies, the OTS, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of such
Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal or state banking or
insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable regulations of
the
OTS or other regulatory authority, such access to be afforded without charge
but
only upon reasonable request in writing and during normal business hours at
the
offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In fulfilling such a
request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the
sufficiency of such information.
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 or Insurance
Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive
property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the
Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds
any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or the
related Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable.
Section
4.07 Standard
Hazard Insurance and Flood Insurance Policies.
For
each
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce any obligation of the related
Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable to
maintain or cause to be maintained standard fire and casualty insurance and,
where applicable, flood insurance, all in accordance with the provisions of
this
Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. It is understood
and agreed that such insurance shall be with insurers meeting the eligibility
requirements set forth in this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable and that no earthquake or other additional insurance is to be
required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained on property acquired in respect
of
a defaulted Mortgage Loan, other than pursuant to such applicable laws and
regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such
additional insurance.
Pursuant
to Section 3.31, any amounts collected by the Master Servicer, under any
insurance policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or
repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or released to the
Mortgagor in accordance with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable) shall be deposited into the Distribution Account, subject to
withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.32.
Section
4.08 Presentment
of Claims and Collection of Proceeds.
The
Master Servicer shall enforce each Servicer’s obligations to prepare and present
on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under any
insurance policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement,
compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to
realize recovery under such policies. Any proceeds disbursed to the
Master Servicer (or disbursed to the related Servicer and remitted to the Master
Servicer) in respect of such policies, bonds or contracts shall be promptly
deposited in the Distribution Account upon receipt, except that any amounts
realized that are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related
Mortgaged Property as a condition precedent to the presentation of claims on
the
related Mortgage Loan to the insurer under any applicable insurance policy
need
not be so deposited (or remitted).
Section
4.09 Maintenance
of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies.
The
Master Servicer shall not take, or (to the extent within its control) permit
a
Servicer (to the extent such action is prohibited under this Agreement or the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable) to take, any action that would result in
noncoverage under any primary mortgage insurance policy or any loss which,
but
for the actions of such Master Servicer or the related Servicer, would have
been
covered thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable
efforts to cause the related Servicer to keep in force and effect (to the extent
that a Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary
mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and (to the extent within
its control) shall not permit the related Servicer to, cancel or refuse to
renew
any primary mortgage insurance policy that is in effect at the date of the
initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force
hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable.
The
Master Servicer agrees to cause the related Servicer to present, on behalf
of
the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any primary
mortgage insurance policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action
as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any primary mortgage insurance
policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to
Section 3.31 of this Agreement or pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable, any amounts collected by the related Master Servicer or the Servicer
under any primary mortgage insurance policies shall be deposited by the Servicer
or by the Master Servicer in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.32.
Section
4.10 Trustee
to Retain Possession of Certain Insurance Policies and
Documents.
The
Trustee or the Custodian, shall retain possession and custody of the originals
(to the extent available) of any primary mortgage insurance policies, or
certificate of insurance if applicable, and any certificates of renewal as
to
the foregoing as may be issued from time to time as contemplated by this
Agreement. Until all amounts distributable in respect of the
Certificates have been distributed in full and the Master Servicer and the
related Servicer otherwise have fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement

all
in accordance with this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable.
Section

with the provisions of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable. Further, the Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to
sell any REO Property prior to three years after the end of the calendar year
of
its acquisition by REMIC I, unless (i) the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator shall have been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such
three-year period 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, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to
hold
such Mortgaged Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion
of
Counsel) or (ii) the related Servicer shall have applied for, prior to the
expiration of such three-year period, an extension of such three-year period
in
the manner contemplated by Section 856(e)(3) of the Code, in which case the
three-year period shall be extended by the applicable extension
period. The Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to protect and
conserve, such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required by this
Agreement, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions and in a manner that does
not
result in a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” or cause such REO
Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.
The
Master Servicer shall cause each Servicer to deposit all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property in the related
Custodial Account.
The

REO
Property, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any related unreimbursed

with
the final disposition of such REO Property; provided, that any such unreimbursed
Advances as well as any unpaid Master Servicing Fees may be reimbursed or paid,

or
other net amounts derived from such REO Property.

ADVANCES
AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Section
5.01 Advances;
Advance Facility.
(a) GMACM
shall make an Advance with respect to any GMACM Mortgage Loan and deposit such
Advance in the Distribution Account no later than noon Eastern time on the
Remittance Date in immediately available funds. A Servicer shall be obligated
to
make any such Advance only to the extent that such advance would not be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. If a Servicer shall have determined that it has made
a
Nonrecoverable Advance or that a proposed Advance or a lesser portion of such
Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, such Servicer shall deliver
(i) to the Securities Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders
funds constituting the remaining portion of such Advance, if applicable, and
(ii) to the Depositor, each Rating Agency and the Master Servicer an Officer’s
Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination.
In
lieu
of making all or a portion of an Advance from its own funds, GMACM may (i)
cause
to be made an appropriate entry in its records relating to the related Custodial
Account that any Amounts Held for Future Distribution has been used by GMACM
in
discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance and (ii) transfer such
funds from its Custodial Account to the Distribution Account. Any
funds so applied and transferred shall be replaced by GMACM Servicer by deposit
in the Distribution Account, no later than the close of business on any future
Remittance Date on which the funds on deposit in its Custodial Account shall
be
less than the amount required to be remitted to the Securities Administrator
on
such Remittance Date; provided, however that if the rating of GMACM (including
any Successor Servicer) is less than “BBB”, the GMACM shall be required to
replace such funds by deposit to the Distribution Account, no later than the
close of business on the Remittance Date immediately following the Due Period
or
Prepayment Period for which such amounts relate.
GMACM
shall be entitled to be reimbursed from its Custodial Account for all Advances
of its own funds made pursuant to this Section as provided in
Section 3.27 or pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The
obligation to make Advances with respect to any GMACM Mortgage Loan shall
continue until GMACM Mortgage Loan is paid in full or the related
Mortgaged Property or related REO Property has been liquidated or until the
purchase or repurchase thereof (or substitution therefor) from the Trust Fund
pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as otherwise
provided in this Section 5.01.
Subject
to and in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof, in the event
that GMACM fails to make such Advance under this Agreement, then the Master
Servicer, as successor to GMACM or, if Xxxxx Fargo fails to make such and
Advance as required pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, the
Trustee, as successor to Xxxxx Fargo shall be obligated to make such Advance
only to the extent such Advance, if made, would not constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.01 and 8.02.
(b) (i) GMACM
is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such
arrangement, an “Advance Facility”), the documentation for which complies with
Section 5.01(b)(v) below, under which (1) GMACM assigns or pledges its
rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or all Advances and/or
Servicing Advances to (i) a Person, which may be a special-purpose
bankruptcy-remote entity (an “SPV”), (ii) a Person, which may simultaneously
assign or pledge such rights to an SPV or (iii) a lender (a “Lender”), which, in
the case of any Person or SPV of the type described in either of the preceding
clauses (i) or (ii), may directly or through other assignees and/or pledgees,
assign or pledge such rights to a Person, which may include a trustee acting
on
behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such Person or any such Lender,
an
“Advance Financing Person”), and/or (2) an Advance Financing Person agrees to
fund all the Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to be made by GMACM
pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Certificateholders or any other party
shall be required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility nor
shall the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the
Certificateholders be a third party beneficiary of any obligation of an Advance
Financing Person to such Servicer. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance
Facility under which an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Advances and/or
Servicing Advances, (A) GMACM (i) shall remain obligated pursuant to this
Agreement to make Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to and as required
by this Agreement and (ii) shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue
of such Advance Facility and (B) neither the Advance Financing Person nor any
GMACM Assignee (as hereinafter defined) shall have any right to proceed against
or otherwise contact any Mortgagor for the purpose of collecting any payment
that may be due with respect to any related GMACM Mortgage Loan or enforcing
any
covenant of such Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
documents.
(ii) If
GMACM
enters into an Advance Facility, such Servicer and the related Advance Financing
Person shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator
at
the address set forth in Section 11.05 hereof no later than the Remittance
Date immediately following the effective date of such Advance Facility a written
notice (an “Advance Facility Notice”), stating (a) the identity of the Advance
Financing Person and (b) the identity of the Person (“GMACM’s Assignee”) that
will, subject to Section 5.01(b)(iii) hereof, have the right to make
withdrawals from the related Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.27
hereof to reimburse previously unreimbursed Advances and/or Servicing Advances
(“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”). Advance Reimbursement Amounts (i)
shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing Advances
for which GMACM would be permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with
Section 3.27 hereof, assuming GMACM had made the related Advance(s) and/or
Servicing Advance(s) and (ii) shall not consist of amounts payable to a
successor Servicer in accordance with Section 3.27 hereof to the extent
permitted under Section 5.01(b)(v) below.
(iii) Notwithstanding
the existence of an Advance Facility, GMACM, on behalf of the Advance Financing
Person and the GMACM’s Assignee, shall be entitled to receive reimbursements of
Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance with Section 3.27 hereof,
which entitlement may be terminated by the Advance Financing Person pursuant
to
a written notice to the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator in
the
manner set forth in Section 11.05 hereof. Upon receipt of such
written notice, GMACM shall no longer be entitled to receive reimbursement
for
any Advance Reimbursement Amounts and GMACM’s Assignee shall immediately have
the right to receive from the related Custodial Account all Advance
Reimbursement Amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the
avoidance of doubt, (i) GMACM and/or GMACM ’s Assignee shall only be entitled to
reimbursement of Advance Reimbursement Amounts hereunder from withdrawals from
the related Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.27 of this Agreement
and shall not otherwise be entitled to make withdrawals or receive amounts
that
shall be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.31
hereof, and (ii) none of the Trustee or the Certificateholders shall have any
right to, or otherwise be entitled to, receive any Advance Reimbursement Amounts
to which GMACM or the GMACM’s Assignee, as applicable, shall be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.27 hereof. An Advance Facility may be
terminated by the joint written direction of GMACM and the related Advance
Financing Person. Written notice of such termination shall be
delivered to the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 11.05
hereof. None of the Depositor, Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator or the Trustee shall, as a result of the existence of any Advance
Facility, have any additional duty or liability with respect to the calculation
or payment of any Advance Reimbursement Amount, nor, as a result of the
existence of any Advance Facility, shall the Depositor, Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator or the Trustee have any additional responsibility
to
track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment
of
Advance Reimbursement Amounts to GMACM’s Assignee. GMACM shall
indemnify the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, Depositor, the
Trustee, any successor Servicer and the Trust Fund for any claim, loss,
liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advancing Financing
Person, except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted
from or arose out of gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on
the
part of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, Depositor, the
Trustee or any successor Servicer, as the case may be. GMACM shall
maintain and provide to any successor Servicer and, upon request, the Trustee
a
detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced by, pledged
or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Financing Person. The successor
Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by GMACM,
and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any errors in such
information.
(iv) An
Advance Financing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of rights to
receive Advance Reimbursement Amounts and/or whose obligations are limited
to
the funding of Advances and/or Servicing Advances pursuant to an Advance
Facility shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification as a
Servicer.
(v) As
between GMACM and its Advance Financing Person, on the one hand, and a successor
Servicer and its Advance Financing Person, if any, on the other hand, Advance
Reimbursement Amounts on a loan-by-loan basis with respect to each GMACM
Mortgage Loan as to which an Advance and/or Servicing Advance shall have been
made and be outstanding shall be allocated on a “first-in, first out” basis. In
the event the Servicer’s Assignee shall have received some or all of an Advance
Reimbursement Amount related to Advances and/or Servicing Advances that were
made by a Person other than the related Servicer or its related Advance
Financing Person in error, then the GMACM’s Assignee shall be required to remit
any portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount to each Person entitled to
such
portion of such Advance Reimbursement Amount. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, GMACM shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by
the
Advance Financing Person for all Advances and/or Servicing Advances funded
by
GMACM to the extent the related Advance Reimbursement Amounts have not been
assigned or pledged to such Advance Financing Person or GMACM’s
Assignee.
(vi) For
purposes of any Officer’s Certificate of GMACM delivered pursuant to
Section 5.01(a), any Nonrecoverable Advance referred to therein may have
been made by GMACM. In making its determination that any Advance or Servicing
Advance theretofore made has become a Nonrecoverable Advance, GMACM shall apply
the same criteria in making such determination regardless of whether such
Advance or Servicing Advance shall have been made by GMACM.
(vii) Any
amendment to this Section 5.01(b) or to any other provision of this
Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an Advance
Facility as described generally in this Section 5.01(b), including
amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered
into by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the
Depositor and GMACM without the consent of any Certificateholder, provided
such
amendment complies with Section 11.01 hereof. All reasonable
costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of each party hereto of any such
amendment shall be borne solely by GMACM. The parties hereto hereby
acknowledge and agree that: (a) the Advances and/or Servicing
Advances financed by and/or pledged to an Advance Financing Person under any
Advance Facility are obligations owed to GMACM payable only from the cash flows
and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances and/or
Servicing Advances only to the extent provided herein, and none of the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Fund are,
as a
result of the existence of any Advance Facility, obligated or liable to repay
any Advances and/or Servicing Advances financed by the Advance Financing Person;
(b) GMACM will be responsible for remitting to the Advance Financing Person
the
applicable amounts collected by it as reimbursement for Advances and/or
Servicing Advances funded by the Advance Financing Person, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement; and (c) none of the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator or the Trustee shall have any responsibility to track
or monitor the administration of the financing arrangement between GMACM and
any
Advance Financing Person.
Section
5.02 Compensating
Interest Payments.
In
the
event that there is a Prepayment Interest Shortfall arising from a voluntary
Principal Prepayment in full by the Mortgagor with respect to any GMACM Mortgage
Loan during the portion of the Prepayment Period occurring in the month prior
to
the month in which the Distribution Date occurs, GMACM shall deposit into the
related Custodial Account no later than the close of business on the Remittance
Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the
Prepayment Interest Shortfall; and in case of such deposit, GMACM shall not
be
entitled to any recovery or reimbursement from the Depositor, the Trustee,
the
Sponsor, the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer or the
Certificateholders.

holders of the Senior Certificates and Subordinate Certificates. The
Net WAC Reserve Fund must be an Eligible Account. The Net WAC Reserve
Fund shall be entitled “Net WAC Reserve Fund, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National
Association for the benefit of holders of Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation,
Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-2, Class A-1A, Class X-0X, Xxxxx X-0,
Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-1, Class M-2,
Class M-3, Class M-4, Class M-5 and Class M-6”. Any payments received
by the Securities Administrator under the Cap Contract and deposited into the
Supplement Interest Trust should be withdrawn by the Securities Administrator
and deposited into the Net WAC Reserve Fund for the benefit of the Class A-4
Certificates; provided that the amount of any Excess Cap Payments shall be
held
for the benefit of the Class X Certificates and payable as part of the Class
X
Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date. On the Closing Date,
the Depositor will deposit, or cause to be deposited, into the Net WAC Reserve
Fund $1,000. On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount payable to any Class Certificates, the Securities Administrator
shall deposit the amounts pursuant to paragraph 3 of clause Third of
Section 5.05(a) into the Net WAC Reserve Fund and the Securities
Administrator has been directed by the Class X Certificateholder to distribute
such amounts to the Holders of the Senior Certificates and Subordinate
Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in clause Third of
Section 5.05(a).
(b) The
Net
WAC Reserve Fund is an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury
regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and shall be an asset of the Trust Fund but
not
an asset of any REMIC. The Securities Administrator on behalf of the
Trust Fund shall be the nominal owner of the Net WAC Reserve
Fund. The Class X Certificateholders shall be the beneficial owners
of the Net WAC Reserve Fund, subject to the power of the Securities
Administrator to transfer amounts under Section 5.04(a). Amounts
in the Net WAC Reserve Fund shall be held either uninvested in a trust or
deposit account of the Securities Administrator with no liability for interest
or other compensation thereof or, at the written direction of the Majority
Class
X Certificateholder, be invested in Permitted Investments that mature no later
than the Business Day prior to the next succeeding Distribution
Date. All net income and gain from such investments shall be
distributed to the Majority Class X Certificateholder, not as a distribution
in
respect of any interest in any REMIC (pursuant to
Section 5.11(d)). All amounts earned on amounts on deposit in
the Net WAC Reserve Fund shall be taxable to the Majority Class X
Certificateholder. Any losses on such investments shall be deposited
in the Net WAC Reserve Fund by the Majority Class X Certificateholder out of
its
own funds immediately as realized. In the event that the Majority Class X
Certificateholder shall fail to provide investment instructions to the
Securities Administrator, the amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Reserve Fund
shall be held uninvested.
(c) For
federal tax return and information reporting, the value of the right of the
Holder of the Class A-4 Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC
Reserve Fund is equal to $5,000, and the amount allocated to the right of the
holders of the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-4 Certificates)
and
Mezzanine Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Reserve Fund in
respect of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount shall be zero.
Section
5.14 [Reserved].
Section
5.15 Supplemental
Interest Trust.
(a) On
the
Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain in
the
name of the Trustee a separate account for the benefit of the holders of the
Offered Certificates (the “Supplemental Interest Trust”). The
Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit
therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled
with,
any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Trustee
or
of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the
Supplemental Interest Trust amounts distributable to the Swap Provider by the
Supplemental Interest Trust pursuant to Section 5.06 of this
Agreement. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator
shall distribute any such amounts to the Swap Provider pursuant to the Swap
Agreement, first to pay any Net Swap Payment owed to the Swap Provider for
such
Distribution Date, and second to pay any Swap Termination Payment owed to the
Swap Provider.
(c) On
each
Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the
Supplemental Interest Trust amounts received by it from the Swap
Provider. On each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator
shall distribute from the Supplemental Interest Trust an amount equal to the
amount of any Net Swap Payment received from the Swap Provider under the Swap
Agreement, and make the distributions required under Section 5.06 of this
Agreement.
(d) On
each
Distribution date, the Securities Administrator shall deposit into the
Supplemental Interest Trust all amounts received by it under the Cap Contract.
On each Distribution Date, such amounts will be withdrawn by the Securities
Administrator from the Supplemental Interest Trust and deposited in the Net
WAC
Reserve Fund and distributed to the Class A-4 Certificateholders or Class X
Certificateholders as described in Section 5.13.
(e) The
Supplemental Interest Trust constitutes an “outside reserve fund” within the
meaning of Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) and is not an asset of any
REMIC. The Holders of the Class X Certificates shall be the
beneficial owner of the Supplemental Interest Trust, subject to the power of
the
Securities Administrator to transfer amounts under this
Agreement. The Securities Administrator shall keep records that
accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust
and
shall keep track of payments made pursuant to the Swap Agreement and the Cap
Contract separately. The Securities Administrator shall, at the
written direction of the Majority Class X Certificateholder invest amounts
on
deposit in the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of the Swap Agreement
and
the Cap Contract in Permitted Investments. In the absence of written direction
to the Securities Administrator from the Majority Class X Certificateholder,
all
funds in respect of the Swap Agreement and the Cap Contract in the Supplemental
Interest Trust shall remain uninvested. On each Distribution Date, the
Securities Administrator shall distribute, not in respect of any REMIC, any
interest earned on the Supplemental Interest Trust to the Holders of the Class
X
Certificates.
(f) For
federal income tax purposes, amounts paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust
on
each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.06 shall first be deemed paid
to
the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of the Class IO Interest to the
extent of the amount distributable on such Class IO Interest on such
Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the
Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of the Class IO Distribution
Amount. For federal income tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest
Trust will be treated as a disregarded entity.
The
Securities Administrator shall treat the Holders of the Certificates (other
than
the Class P, Class X, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) as having entered
into
a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class X
Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all
Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class P, Class X, Class R and Class
R-X Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution
Date, to the Holder of the Class X Certificates an aggregate amount equal to
the
excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the
REMIC
III Regular Interest, ownership of which is represented by such Class of
Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on
such
Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class IO Distribution Amount”). A
Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest collections shall be
allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the amount of
interest otherwise payable to such Certificates, and a Class IO Distribution
Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most
subordinate Class of such Certificates with an outstanding principal balance
to
the extent of such balance. Any payments to such Certificates from
amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract shall
not
be payments with respect to a Regular Interest in a REMIC within the meaning
of
Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the
Certificates (other than the Class X, Class P, Class R and Class R-X
Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax
purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect
of the REMIC III Regular Interest ownership of which is represented by such
Certificates, and as having been paid by such Holders to the Supplemental
Interest Trust pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus,
each Offered Certificate shall be treated as representing not only ownership
of
a Regular Interest in REMIC III, but also ownership of an interest in, and
obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract.
(g) The
Sponsor shall provide to the Securities Administrator the value of the right
of
the holders of the Offered Certificates to receive payments from the
Supplemental Interest Trust for federal tax return and information reporting
not
later than December 31, 2007.
(h) In
the
event that the Swap Agreement is terminated prior to the Distribution Date
in
June 2012, the Sponsor shall use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor
swap
provider using any Swap Termination Payments paid by the Swap Provider. If
the
Sponsor is unable to locate a qualified successor swap provider, any such Swap
Termination Payments will be remitted to the Securities Administrator for
payment to the holders of the Offered Certificates of amounts described in
Section 5.06(d).
(i) In
the
event that the Swap Provider fails to perform any of its obligations under
the
Swap Agreement (including, without limitation, its obligation to make any
payment or transfer collateral), or breaches any of its representations and
warranties thereunder, or in the event that any Event of Default, Termination
Event, or Additional Termination Event (each as defined in the Swap Agreement)
occurs with respect to the Swap Agreement, the Securities Administration on
behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, promptly following
actual notice of such failure, breach or event, notify the Depositor and send
any notices and make any demands, on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust,
required to enforce the rights of the Supplemental Interest Trust under the
Swap
Agreement.
In
the
event that the Swap Provider’s obligations are guaranteed by a third party under
a guaranty relating to the Swap Agreement (such guaranty the “Guaranty” and such
third party the “Guarantor”), then to the extent that the Swap Provider fails to
make any payment by the close of business on the day it is required to make
payment under the terms of the Swap Agreement, the Securities Administration
on
behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall, promptly following
actual notice of the Swap Provider’s failure to pay, demand that the Guarantor
make any and all payments then required to be made by the Guarantor pursuant
to
such Guaranty; provided, that the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall
in
no event be liable for any failure or delay in the performance by the Swap
Provider or any Guarantor of its obligations hereunder or pursuant to the Swap
Agreement and the Guaranty, nor for any special, indirect or consequential
loss
or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits)
in
connection therewith.
Section
5.16 Tax
Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination Payments.
For
federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Senior Certificate or Mezzanine
Certificate is deemed to own an undivided beneficial ownership interest in
a
REMIC regular interest and the right to receive payments from either the Net
WAC
Reserve Fund or the Supplemental Interest Trust in respect of any Net WAC Rate
Carry-Forward Amounts or the obligation to make payments to the Supplemental
Interest Trust. For federal income tax purposes, the Securities Administrator
will account for payments to each Senior Certificate and Mezzanine Certificate
as follows: each Senior Certificate and Mezzanine Certificate will be treated
as
receiving their entire payment from REMIC III (regardless of any Swap
Termination Payment or obligation under the Swap Agreement) and subsequently
paying their portion of any Swap Termination Payment in respect of each such
Class’ obligation under the Swap Agreement. In the event that any such Class is
resecuritized in a REMIC, the obligation under the Swap Agreement to pay any
such Swap Termination Payment (or any shortfall in Net Swap Payment), will
be
made by one or more of the REMIC Regular Interests issued by the
resecuritization REMIC subsequent to such REMIC Regular Interest receiving
its
full payment from any such Senior Certificates and Mezzanine
Certificates.
The
REMIC
Regular Interest corresponding to a Senior Certificate and Mezzanine Certificate
will be entitled to receive interest and principal payments at the times and
in
the amounts equal to those made on the certificate to which it corresponds,
except that (i) the maximum interest rate of that REMIC regular interest will
equal the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate computed for this purpose by limiting the
Notional Amount of the Swap Agreement to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance
of the Mortgage Loans and (ii) any Swap Termination Payment will be treated
as
being payable solely from amounts otherwise payable to the Class X Certificates.
As a result of the foregoing, the amount of distributions and taxable income
on
the REMIC Regular Interest corresponding to a Senior Certificate and Mezzanine
Certificate may exceed the actual amount of distributions on the Senior
Certificate and Mezzanine Certificate.
Section
5.17 Reports
Filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.
(a) (i) For
so long as the Trust Fund is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements,
within fifteen (15) days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted
extensions under the Exchange Act), the Securities Administrator shall prepare
and file on behalf of the Trust Fund any Form 10-D required by the Exchange
Act,
in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. The Securities
Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related Monthly
Statement attached thereto. The Securities Administrator shall also
include with each Form 10-D any disclosure required by the Exchange Act in
addition to the Monthly Statement that is required to be included on Form 10-D
(“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) subject to the receipt of such information
by the Securities Administrator from the entity indicated on Exhibit N as the
party responsible for providing that information. The Securities
Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to
determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth
in
the next paragraph.
(ii) As
set
forth on Exhibit N hereto, within 5 calendar days after the related Distribution
Date, (i) the parties to this transaction shall be required to provide to the
Securities Administrator and to the Depositor, to the extent known by a
responsible officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such other form
as
otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form
and substance of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable, together
with an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form of Exhibit H hereto
(an
“Additional Disclosure Notification”) and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to
form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Depositor will be
responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the
Securities Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.
(iii) After
preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall, upon request,
forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor (provided that
such Form 10-D includes any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure). Within
two Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than the 12th
calendar day after the Distribution Date, the Depositor shall notify the
Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically)
of
any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence of
receipt of any written changes or approval, or if the Depositor does not request
a copy of a Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume
that such Form 10-D is in final form and the Securities Administrator may
proceed with the execution and filing of the Form 10-D. A duly authorized
representative of the Master Servicer shall sign each Form 10-D. If a
Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs
to be
amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth
in
Section 5.17(c)(ii). Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day)
after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will make
available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D filed
by the Securities Administrator. Each party to this Agreement
acknowledges that the performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator of its duties under this Section 5.17(a) related to the timely
preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties
strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties
as set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the
Securities Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage,
claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute
and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the
Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a
timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare,
arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(b) (i) For
so long as the Trust Fund is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements,
within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event set forth on
Exhibit N hereto or such other event requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each
such
event, a “Reportable Event”), or if requested by the Depositor, and
subject to receipt of such information by the Securities Administrator from
the
entity indicated on Exhibit N as the responsible party for providing that
information, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf
of
the Trust Fund any Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act, provided
that the Depositor shall file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the
issuance of the Certificates. Any disclosure or information related
to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form
8-K
other than the initial Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) shall
be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit N to the Depositor and
the Securities Administrator and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant
to the following paragraph and the Securities Administrator will have no duty
or
liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K
Disclosure Information or any Form 8-K, except as set forth in the next
paragraph.
(ii) As
set
forth on Exhibit N hereto, for so long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange
Act reporting requirements, no later than the close of business (New York City
time) on the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event (i)
the
parties to this transaction shall be required to provide to the Securities
Administrator and to the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible officer
thereof, in XXXXX-compatible form, or in such other form as otherwise agreed
upon by the Securities Administrator and such party, the form and substance
of
any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable, together with an Additional
Disclosure Notification and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and
substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K
Disclosure Information. The Depositor will be responsible for any
reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities
Administrator in connection with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information
on Form 8-K pursuant to this paragraph.
(iii) After
preparing the Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall, upon request,
forward electronically a copy of the Form 8-K to the
Depositor. Promptly, but no later than the close of business on the
third Business Day after the Reportable Event, the Depositor shall notify the
Securities Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically)
of
any changes to or approval of such Form 8-K. In the absence of
receipt of any written changes or approval, or if the Depositor does not request
a copy of a Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume
that such Form 8-K is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed
with the execution and filing of the Form 8-K. A duly authorized
representative of the Master Servicer shall sign each Form 8-K. If a
Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to
be
amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth
in
Section 5.17(c)(ii). Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day)
after filing with the Commission, the Securities Administrator will, make
available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 8-K that
is
filed by the Securities Administrator. The parties to this Agreement
acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator of its duties under this Section 5.17(b) related to the timely
preparation, execution and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon such parties
strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties
under this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities
Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute
and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Securities
Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.
(c) (i) On
or prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator
is able to do so under applicable law, the Securities Administrator shall
prepare and file a Form 15 Suspension Notification relating to the automatic
suspension of reporting in respect of the Trust Fund under the Exchange
Act.
(ii) In
the
event that the Securities Administrator is unable to timely file with the
Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required
to
be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either
not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth
in
this Agreement or for any other reason, the Securities Administrator will
promptly notify electronically the Depositor. In the case of Form
10-D and 10-K, the parties to this Agreement will cooperate to prepare and
file
a Form 12b-25 and a 10-D/A and 10-K/A as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25
of
the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities
Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information
and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure
information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously
filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended in connection with any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (other than for the purpose of restating any
monthly report), Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure
Information, the Securities Administrator will electronically notify the
Depositor and such other parties to the transaction as are affected by such
amendment, and such parties will cooperate to prepare any necessary 8-K/A,
10-D/A or 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form
8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by a duly authorized representative, or senior
officer in charge of master servicing, as applicable, of the Master
Servicer. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
performance by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its
duties under this Section 5.17(c) related to the timely preparation, execution
and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or
10-K
is contingent upon each such party performing its duties under this
Section. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities Administrator
shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of
or
with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file
any
such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where
such failure results from the Securities Administrator’s inability or failure to
obtain or receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party
hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form
12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not resulting from its
own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(d) (i) For
so long as the trust is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, within
90 days after the end of each calendar year or such earlier date as may be
required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K Filing Deadline”), commencing in
March 2008, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of
the
Trust Fund a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required by the Exchange
Act. Each such Form 10-K shall include the following items, in each
case to the extent they have been delivered to the Securities Administrator
within the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement, (i) an annual
compliance statement for each Servicing Function Participant (other than the
Custodian), as described under Section 3.13, (ii)(A) the annual reports on
assessment of compliance with servicing criteria for each Servicing Function
Participant, as described under Section 3.14 and the Custodial Agreement,
and (B) if any Servicing Function Participant’s report on assessment of
compliance with servicing criteria described under Section 3.14 identifies
any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance
of
noncompliance, or if any Servicing Function Participant’s report on assessment
of compliance with servicing criteria described under Section 3.14 is not
included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not
included and an explanation why such report is not included, (iii)(A) the
registered public accounting firm attestation report for each Servicing Function
Participant, as described under Section 3.14 and the Custodial Agreement,
and (B) if any registered public accounting firm attestation report described
under Section 3.14 identifies any material instance of noncompliance,
disclosure identifying such instance of noncompliance, or if any such registered
public accounting firm attestation report is not included as an exhibit to
such
Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an
explanation why such report is not included, and (iv) a Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Certification as described in Section 3.18. The Securities Administrator
shall also include with each Form 10-K any disclosure or information in addition
to (i) through (iv) above that is required to be included on Form 10-K as set
forth on Exhibit N under Form 10-K (“Additional Form 10-K Disclosure”)
subject to receipt of such information by the Securities Administrator from
the
entity indicated on Exhibit N as the responsible party for providing that
information. The Securities Administrator will have no duty or
liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional
Form
10-K Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph.
(ii) As
set
forth on Exhibit N hereto, no later than March 1 (with a ten-calendar day cure
period) of each year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting
requirements, commencing in 2008, (i) the parties to this transaction shall
be
required to provide to the Securities Administrator and to the Depositor, to
the
extent known by a responsible officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible form, or
in
such other form as otherwise agreed upon by the Securities Administrator and
such party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure,
if
applicable, together with an Additional Disclosure Notification and (ii) the
Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case
may
be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form
10-K. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees and
expenses assessed or incurred by the Securities Administrator in connection
with
including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K pursuant to this
paragraph.
(iii) After
preparing the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall, upon request,
forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-K to the
Depositor. Within three Business Days after receipt of such copy, but
no later than March 25th, the Depositor shall notify the Securities
Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes
to or approval of such Form 10-K. In the absence of receipt of any
written changes or approval, or if the Depositor does not request a copy of
a
Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such
Form 10-K is in final form and the Securities Administrator may proceed with
the
execution and filing of the Form 10-K. A senior officer of the Master
Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall sign the Form
10-K. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed
Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the
procedures set forth in Section 5.17(c)(ii). Promptly (but no later
than one (1) Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities
Administrator will make available on its internet website a final executed
copy
of each Form 10-K to be filed by the Securities Administrator. The
parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator of its duties under this Section
5.17(d) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-K
is
contingent upon such parties (and any Servicing Function Participant) strictly
observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under
this
Section 5.17(d), Section 3.13, Section 3.14 and
Section 3.18. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Securities
Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely
file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Securities
Administrator’s inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct.
(e) Each
of
Form 10-D and Form 10-K requires the registrant to indicate (by checking "yes"
or "no") that it "(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or
for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports),
and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days."
The
Depositor hereby represents to the Securities Administrator as of the date
hereof that the Depositor has (1) filed all such required reports that (a)
the
Depositor has undertaken to file on its own behalf or (b) relate to other
securitization transactions of the Depositor for which Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A.,
in its capacity as Securities Administrator or similar capacity, does not have
the exclusive obligation to prepare and file during the preceding 12 months;
provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be obligated to make such
representation with respect to any filings made by Xxxxx Fargo on behalf of
the
Depositor, and (2) that it has been subject to such filing requirement for
the
past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Securities Administrator in
writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after the related Distribution
Date with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-D and no later than
March
15th with respect to the filing of a report on Form 10-K, if the answer to
the

report.
(f) The
Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Custodian, the Sponsor and
Securities Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Trustee and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising
out
of or based upon a breach of such party’s obligations under this
Section Section 5.17 or such party’s negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in connection therewith.
Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 11.01, this Section 5.17 may be amended without
the consent of the Certificateholders.
Section
5.18 Final
Maturity Reserve Trust.
(a) On
the
Closing Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish a separate common
law
trust under the laws of the State Delaware for the benefit of the Holders of
the
Offered Certificates (the “Final Maturity Reserve Trust”) into which the
Depositor shall deposit $1,000. The Final Maturity Reserve Trust
shall be maintained by the Securities Administrator. On the Closing
Date, the Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain in its name,
a
separate non-interest bearing account (the “Final Maturity Reserve Account”),
into which the Depositor shall initially deposit $1,000. The Final
Maturity Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on deposit
therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be commingled
with,
any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys of the Securities
Administrator held pursuant to this Agreement. The Final Maturity
Reserve Account shall be entitled “Final Maturity Reserve Account, Xxxxx Fargo
Bank N.A. for the benefit of the holders of Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation,
Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2007-2, Class A-1A, Class X-0X, Xxxxx X-0,
Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-0, Xxxxx X-0, Class M-1, Class M-2,
Class M-3, Class M-4 and Class M-5 Certificates”. The funds in the Final
Maturity Reserve Account shall remain uninvested.
(b) Amounts
on deposit in the Final Maturity Reserve Account will be distributed as
described in Section 5.07.
(c) Amounts
on deposit in the Final Maturity Reserve Account will constitute an asset of
the
Final Maturity Reserve Trust but will not be an asset of any REMIC. The Class
X
Certificates shall evidence ownership of the Final Maturity Reserve Trust for
federal income tax purposes.
(d) For
federal income tax purposes, any Certificateholder that receives a principal
payment from the Final Maturity Reserve Trust shall be treated as selling a
portion of its Certificate to the Holder of the Class X Certificates and as
having received the amount of the principal payment from the Holder of the
Class
X Certificates as the proceeds of the sale. The portion of the
Certificate that is treated as having been sold shall equal the amount of the
corresponding reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of such
Certificate. Principal payments received from the Final Maturity
Reserve Trust shall not be treated as distributions from any REMIC created
hereby. All principal distributions from the Final Maturity Reserve
Trust shall be accounted for hereunder in accordance with this
Section 5.17(e).

Swap Collateral Account (whether cash collateral or securities) shall be for
the
account of and taxable to the Swap Provider.
Upon
the
occurrence of an Event of Default or Specified Condition (each as defined in
the

Upon
original issue, the Certificates shall be executed and authenticated by the
Securities Administrator and delivered by the Trustee to and upon the written
order of the Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Trust Fund by the Securities Administrator
by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the
Securities Administrator shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices
at
the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided
herein executed by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, and such
certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication.
The
Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Securities
Administrator on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates
to
facilitate transfers.
(b) The
Class
X Certificates and Class P Certificates offered and sold to Qualified
Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule
144A”) will be issued in the form of Definitive Certificates.
Section
6.02 Certificate
Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) The
Securities Administrator shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance
with the provisions of Section 6.09, a Certificate Register for the
Certificates in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c)
below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Securities
Administrator 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 Securities Administrator shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and of like
aggregate Percentage Interest.
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 Securities Administrator. Whenever
any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall
execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates that 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 Securities
Administrator 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
canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Securities Administrator in
accordance with the Securities Administrator’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 the Securities 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 Securities
Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in substantially
the
forms set forth in Exhibit E (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (x) deliver a
letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit F (the “Investment Letter”)
or Exhibit G (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (y) there shall be delivered to the
Securities Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the
transferor, that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the
Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Depositor, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust
Fund. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and
any
prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding
the
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
Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Sponsor
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 Securities
Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation from the
transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Securities Administrator to the effect that such transferee
is not an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA and/or a
plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a Person acting on behalf of
any such plan or using the assets of any such plan, or (ii) in the case of
any
such ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of
an
employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a plan subject to Section 4975
of the Code (or comparable provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a
trustee of any such plan or any other person acting on behalf of any such plan,
an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities Administrator for the
benefit of the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Servicer and
on
which they may rely to the effect that the purchase and holding of such ERISA
Restricted Certificate is permissible under applicable law, will not result
in
any prohibited transactions under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and
will not subject the Securities Administrator, the Depositor or any Servicer
to
any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Securities
Administrator, the Depositor or any Servicer. In addition, with
respect to transfers of an ERISA Restricted Certificate (that is not a Residual
Certificate) other than as described in the preceding sentence, if the
representation letter or Opinion of Counsel referred to in the preceding
sentence is not furnished, the representation in clause (i) shall be deemed
to
have been made to the Trustee by the transferee’s (including an initial
acquirer’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 subject
to
Section 406 of ERISA and/or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code
other than in compliance with the foregoing shall be void and of no effect;
provided that the restriction set forth in this sentence shall not be applicable
if there has been delivered to the Securities Administrator an Opinion of
Counsel meeting the requirements of clause (ii) of the first sentence of this
paragraph. The Securities Administrator shall not be under any
liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA Restricted
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02(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. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled, but not
obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that
was in fact an employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a
plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a Person acting on behalf of
any such plan at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as
it
became such a plan or Person acting on behalf of such a plan, all payments
made
on such ERISA Restricted Certificate at and after either such time. Any such
payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and
delivered by the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Holder of such
Certificate that is not such a plan or Person acting on behalf of a
plan.
Each
beneficial owner of a Mezzanine Certificate (other than an ERISA Restricted
Certificate) acquired after termination of the Final Maturity Reserve Trust
and
the Supplemental Interest Trust, shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue
of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that
either (i) it is not a Plan or investing with “Plan Assets”, (ii) it has
acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on the Exemption, and
that
it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the
Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of
purchase, not lower than “BBB-“ (or its equivalent) by S&P or Xxxxx’x, Xxxxx
Ratings, Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited (known as DBRS Limited) or
Dominion Bond Rating Service, Inc. (known as DBRS Inc.) and the certificate
is
so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used
to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company
general account,” as such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60 and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE
95-60 have been satisfied.
For
so
long as the Final Maturity Reserve Trust or the Supplemental Interest Trust
is
in existence is in existence each beneficial owner of such Class A Certificate
or Mezzanine Certificate (other than an ERISA Restricted Certificate) or any
interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its
acquisition or holding of such Certificate, or interest therein, that either
(i)
it is not a Plan or (ii) (A) it is an accredited investor within the meaning
of
the Exemption and (B) the acquisition and holding of such Certificate and the
separate right to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust and
Final Maturity Reserve Trust are eligible for the exemptive relief available
under one of PTCE 95-60, 91-38, 96-23, 90-1 or 84-14.
(c) (i) 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:
(A) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Securities
Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In
connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Securities Administrator shall require delivery to it, and
shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt
of, an affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement,” in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit D) from the proposed Transferee, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, representing and
warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee,
that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate
that
is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for
any
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a
Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this
Section 6.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding
the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee
under clause (B) above, if an authorized officer of the Securities Administrator
who is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.
(D) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate and (Y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless
it
provides a Transferor Affidavit (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E)
to
the Securities Administrator stating that, among other things, it has no actual
knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(E) Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
by
purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the
Securities Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest
holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation
Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of, a “pass-through interest
holder.”
(ii) The
Securities Administrator will register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all
of
such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Securities
Administrator as a condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer
of a
Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Securities Administrator shall
have received a representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate
to
the effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.
(iii)
(A) If
any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the provisions of this Section 6.02(d), then the last
preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by
law, to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of
such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities Administrator shall
be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 6.02(d)
or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or
for
taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of
this
Agreement.
(B) If
any
purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section 6.02(d) and to the extent
that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Residual
Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal
or
unenforceable, then the Securities Administrator shall have the right, without
notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell
such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Securities
Administrator on such terms as the Securities Administrator may choose. Such
purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual
Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Securities Administrator.
Such purchaser may be the Securities Administrator itself or any Affiliate
of
the Securities Administrator. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions
(which may include commissions payable to the Securities Administrator or its
Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Securities
Administrator to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any
sale
under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the
Securities Administrator, and the Securities Administrator shall not be liable
to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result
of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The
Securities Administrator shall make available to the Internal Revenue Service
and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information necessary
to
compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization,
including the information described in Treasury regulations sections
1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of
such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment
company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust,
estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its record holders
at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization. Reasonable
compensation for providing such information may be charged or collected by
the
Securities Administrator.
(v) The
provisions of this Section 6.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v)
may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been
delivered to the Securities Administrator at the expense of the party seeking
to
modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the following:
(A) written
notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency
to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates;
and
(B) an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or
elimination of such provisions will not cause any REMIC to cease to qualify
as a
REMIC and will not cause any REMIC, as the case may be, to be subject to an
entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee or a Person other than the prospective
transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
(d) Subject
to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained
for such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11, the Securities Administrator
shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
Transferee or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of
a
like aggregate Percentage Interest.
(e) At
the
option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like
aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be
exchanged at any office or agency of the Securities Administrator maintained
for
such purpose pursuant to Section 9.11. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator shall execute,
authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Securities Administrator)

Book-Entry Certificates have been issued with respect to any Certificates,
(a)
the Depositor or the Depository advises the Securities Administrator that the
Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to such
Certificates and the Securities Administrator or the Depositor is unable to
locate a qualified successor, (b) the Depositor, at its sole option, advises
the
Securities Administrator that it elects to terminate the book-entry system
with
respect to such Certificates through the Depository or (c) after the occurrence
and continuation of either of the events described in clauses (a) or (b) above,
Certificate Owners of such Book-Entry Certificates having not less than fifty
one percent (51%) of the Voting Rights evidenced by any Class of Book-Entry
Certificates advise the Securities Administrator and the Depository in writing
through the Depository Participants that the continuation of a book-entry system
with respect to Certificates of such Class through the Depository (or its
successor) is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners of
such
Class, then the Securities Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners
of
such Certificates, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to applicable Certificate
Owners requesting the same. The Depositor shall provide the
Securities Administrator with an adequate inventory of certificates to

with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Securities Administrator
shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as

Section

(a) The

in connection with, arising out of, or relating to, any claim or legal action
(including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to this
Agreement or the Certificates (i) related to the Depositor’s failure to perform
its duties in compliance with this Agreement (except as any such loss, liability
or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii)
incurred by reason of the Depositor’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. This indemnity shall survive
the
resignation of any party hereto and the termination of this
Agreement.
(b) GMACM
agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Persons for, and to hold them harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees and

(including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) relating to GMACM’s
gross negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or
failure to service the related Mortgage Loans in material compliance with the

the Trustee if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement
or the Mortgage Loans, assume (with the consent of the Trustee and with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) the defense of any such claim and pay
all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly
appeal or pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered

GMACM.
(c) Each
of
the parties hereto shall cause any Servicing Function Participant engaged by

to indemnify and hold harmless GMACM, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Sponsor and their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates, as applicable, from

willful misconduct of such party in connection with its performance
hereunder. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless GMACM, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Sponsor, then each such party
(with the exception of the Trustee) agrees that it shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator,
the
Depositor and the Sponsor as a result of any claims, losses, damages or
liabilities incurred by Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the
Trustee, the Depositor and the Sponsor in such proportion as is appropriate

Section

Servicer and Others.
Subject
to the obligation of the Depositor and GMACM to indemnify the Indemnified
Persons pursuant to Section 7.03:
(a) Neither
the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer nor any of
the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator and the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Indemnified Persons, the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for taking any
action or for refraining from taking any action in good faith pursuant to this

Servicer or any such Person against any breach of warranties, representations
or
covenants made herein or against any specific liability imposed on any such
Person pursuant hereto or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed
by reason of such Person’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in
the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations
and
duties hereunder.

(d) The
Depositor the Securities Administrator or the Master Servicer shall not be
under
any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not

Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer may in its
discretion, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto
and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except
any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason
of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses,

Administrator and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor out of the Distribution Account as provided by Section 3.32.

to take such actions as are necessary to ensure the servicing and administration
of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement.
(e) In
taking
or recommending any course of action pursuant to this Agreement, unless
specifically required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall
not
be required to investigate or make recommendations concerning potential
liabilities which the Trust Fund might incur as a result of such course of
action by reason of the condition of the Mortgaged Properties.
(f) The
Trustee shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of any Servicer, the
Depositor or the Custodian.
Section
7.05 Servicers
Not to Resign.
(a) GMACM
shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except
upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible
under
applicable law or the performance of such duties are no longer possible in
order
to comply with applicable law and such incapacity or impossibility cannot be
cured by GMACM. Any determination permitting the resignation of GMACM
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
Master Servicer which Opinion of Counsel shall be in form and substance
acceptable to the Master Servicer. No appointment of a successor to
GMACM shall be effective hereunder unless (a) the Rating Agencies have confirmed
in writing that such appointment will not result in a downgrade, qualification
or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned to the Certificates, (b)
such
successor shall have represented that it is meets the eligibility criteria
set
forth in Section 8.02 and (c) such successor has agreed in writing to
assume the obligations of GMACM hereunder. GMACM shall provide a copy
of the written confirmation of the Rating Agencies and the agreement executed
by
such successor to the Master Servicer. No such resignation shall
become effective until a successor servicer or the Master Servicer shall have
assumed GMACM’s responsibilities and obligations hereunder. GMACM shall notify
the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies of its resignation.
(b) Except
as
expressly provided herein, GMACM shall not assign or transfer any of its rights,
benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or
subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of
the
duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by GMACM hereunder. The
foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit GMACM from designating
a
Subservicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable to GMACM hereunder;
provided, however, that as provided in Section 3.03, no Subservicer or
Subcontractor shall be a third-party beneficiary hereunder and the parties
hereto shall not be required to recognize any Subservicer or Subcontractor
as an
indemnitee under this Agreement.
Section
7.06 Termination
of GMACM Without Cause; Appointment of Special Servicer.
(a) For
so
long as the Sponsor retains ownership of the servicing rights with respect
to
any of the GMACM Mortgage Loans, the Sponsor may, at its option, terminate
the
servicing responsibilities of GMACM hereunder with respect to such Mortgage
Loans without cause. No such termination shall become effective unless and
until
a successor to such Servicer shall have been appointed to service and administer
the related Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. No appointment shall be effective unless (i) such
successor servicer meets the eligibility criteria contained in
Section 8.02, (ii) the Master Servicer shall have consented to such
appointment, (iii) the Rating Agencies have been notified in writing of such
appointment and such successor servicer meets the Minimum Servicing
Requirements, (iv) such successor has agreed to assume the obligations of GMACM
hereunder to the extent of the related Mortgage Loans, (v) all amounts
reimbursable to GMACM pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall have been
paid to GMACM by the successor appointed pursuant to the terms of this
Section 7.06 or by the Sponsor including without limitation, all
unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances made by GMACM and all out-of-pocket
expenses of GMACM incurred in connection with the transfer of servicing to
such
successor. The Sponsor shall provide a copy of the written
confirmation of the Rating Agencies and the agreement executed by such successor
to the Trustee and the Master Servicer.
The
rights of the Sponsor to terminate GMACM pursuant to this Section 7.06(a)
will cease to exist if the Sponsor sells or otherwise divests itself of its
ownership of the servicing rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans; provided,
however, that this Section 7.06(a) will be operative at any time the
Sponsor retains or comes into possession of such servicing rights.
(b) In
addition, the Sponsor may, at its option, appoint a special servicer with
respect to certain of the Mortgage Loans. The Sponsor and GMACM shall negotiate
in good faith with any proposed special servicer with respect to the duties
and
obligations of such special servicer with respect to any such Mortgage Loan.
Any
Subservicing Agreement shall contain terms and provisions not inconsistent
with
this Agreement and shall obligate the special servicer to service such Mortgage
Loans in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The fee payable to the
special servicer for the performance of such duties and obligations will paid
from the Servicing Fee collected by GMACM with respect to each such Mortgage
Loan and will be remitted to such special servicer by GMACM.
Section
7.07 Limitation
on Resignation of the Master Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed

permissible under applicable law. Any such determination pursuant to the
preceding sentence permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall
be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of
the
Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies. No
resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee
or a
successor Master Servicer meeting the criteria specified in Section 7.08
shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities
(other than those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such
successor) and obligations under this Agreement.
Section
7.08 Assignment
of Master Servicing.
The
Master Servicer may sell and assign its rights and delegate its duties and
obligations in its entirety as Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided,
however, that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such assignment and
delegation and assuming the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder (a)
shall have a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 (unless otherwise approved
by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii) below); (b) shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing signed by the Trustee);
and (c) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption
by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each
covenant and condition to be performed or observed by it as master servicer
under this Agreement, any custodial agreement from and after the effective
date
of such agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written notice
of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and each Rating
Agency’s rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such
assignment, sale and delegation will not be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn
as a result of such assignment, sale and delegation, as evidenced by a letter
to
such effect delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee;
and (iii) the Master Servicer assigning the master servicing shall
deliver to the Trustee an officer’s certificate and an Opinion of Independent
counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to such action under this
Agreement have been completed and such action is permitted by and complies
with
the terms of this Agreement. No such assignment or delegation shall affect
any
liability of the Master Servicer arising out of acts or omissions prior to
the
effective date thereof.
Section
7.09 Rights
of the Depositor in Respect of GMACM and the Master Servicer.
Each
of
the Master Servicer and GMACM shall afford (and any Subservicing Agreement
shall
provide that each Subservicer or Subcontractor shall afford) the Depositor
and
the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to
all
records maintained by the Master Servicer or GMACM (and any such Subservicer
or
Subcontractor) in respect of GMACM’s rights and obligations hereunder and access
to officers of the Master Servicer or GMACM (and those of any such Subservicer
or Subcontractor) responsible for such obligations, and the Master Servicer
shall have access to all such records maintained by GMACM and any Subservicers.
Upon request, each of the Master Servicer and GMACM shall furnish to the
Depositor and the Trustee its (and any such Subservicer’s or Subcontractor’s)
most recent financial statements and such other information relating to the
Master Servicer’s or GMACM’s capacity to perform its obligations under this
Agreement as it possesses (and that any such Subservicer or Subcontractor
possesses). To the extent the Depositor and the Trustee are informed that such
information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor and the
Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding
two sentences without the Master Servicer’s or GMACM’s written consent, except
as required pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate
to do so (i) to its legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other
governmental agencies and the Certificateholders, (ii) pursuant to any law,
rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court
or
governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor and the Trustee
or
the Trust Fund, and in any case, the Depositor or the Trustee, (iii) disclosure
of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information
obtained by the Trustee from sources other than the Depositor, GMACM or the
Master Servicer, (iv) disclosure as required pursuant to this Agreement or
(v)
disclosure of any and all information (A) in any preliminary or final offering
circular, registration statement or contract or other document pertaining to
the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement approved in advance by the Depositor,
GMACM or the Master Servicer or (B) to any affiliate, independent or internal
auditor, agent, employee or attorney of the Trustee having a need to know the
same, provided that the Trustee advises such recipient of the confidential
nature of the information being disclosed, shall use its best efforts to assure
the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information. Nothing
in
this Section 7.09 shall limit the obligation of GMACM to comply with any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors
and the failure of GMACM to provide access as provided in this Section 7.09
as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this
Section. Nothing in this Section 7.09 shall require GMACM to
collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does
not
generate in its usual course of business. GMACM shall not be required
to make copies of or ship documents to any party unless provisions have been
made for the reimbursement of the costs thereof. The Depositor may, but is
not
obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer and GMACM under
this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee
to
perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer or GMACM under this
Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer or GMACM under this
Agreement; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor GMACM shall be relieved
of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance
by
the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility
or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or GMACM
and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or
GMACM under this Agreement or otherwise.

to such Servicer, shall with respect to a payment default by such Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(xi) of this Agreement, and upon the occurrence
and continuance of any other Servicer Default by such Servicer, may, and at

Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the defaulting
Servicer under this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable whether
with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and
be
vested in the Master Servicer or, if Xxxxx Fargo is the defaulting Servicer,
the
Trustee. Upon written request from the Master Servicer or the

its Custodian’s) possession all Mortgage Files relating to the related Mortgage
Loans, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate
to

as
applicable in effecting the termination of such Servicer’s responsibilities and
rights hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, including,
without limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it
of
all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the defaulting Servicer
to the related Custodial Account or Escrow Account or thereafter received with
respect to the related Mortgage Loans or any related REO Property (provided,
however, that the defaulting Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive
all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement or the Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, on or prior to the date of such termination, whether
in respect of Advances, Servicing Advances, accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees
or
otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
Section 7.04 of this Agreement or the benefits under the Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect
to
events occurring prior to such termination). Neither Master Servicer
nor the Trustee shall have knowledge of a Servicer Default unless a Responsible
Officer of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has actual
knowledge or unless written notice of any Servicer Default is received by the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, at its address for notice and
such notice references the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this
Agreement.
(b) In
case
one or more of the following events of default by the Master Servicer
(each, a “Master Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing, that is to
say:
(i) any
failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly 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, or the breach by the Master
Servicer of any representation and warranty contained in Section 2.03,
which continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the date
on
which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall
have been given to the Master Servicer by the Depositor or the Trustee or to
the
Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Voting Rights of the
Certificates affected thereby; or
(ii) a
decree
or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
in
the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or
state
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling
of
assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer
and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed
for a period of sixty (60) days; or
(iii) the
Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver
or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to it or of or relating to
all
or substantially all of its property; or
(iv) 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 any applicable
insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of
its
creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(v) so
long
as the Trust Fund is subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements, failure
by
the Master Servicer to duly perform, within the required time period, its
obligations under Sections 3.13, 3.14, 3.18 or Section 5.17.
If
a
Master Servicer Default shall occur, then, and in each and every such case,
so
long as such Master Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor
or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights of the Certificates affected thereby,
the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the
Depositor if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor)
with a copy to each Rating Agency, terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement
with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, to the extent permitted by law,
and
in and to the related Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after
the
receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the related Mortgage
Loans or otherwise including, without limitation, the compensation payable
to
the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the related Mortgage
Loans, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this
Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver, on behalf
of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other
instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the related Mortgage
Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees promptly
(and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice)
to
provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable
it
to assume the Master Servicer’s functions under this Agreement with respect to
the related Mortgage Loans, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting
the
termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this
Agreement with respect to the related Mortgage Loans (provided, however, that
the Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued
or owing to it under this Agreement with respect to the related Mortgage Loans
on or prior to the date of such termination and shall continue to be entitled
to
the benefits of Section 7.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with
respect to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this
Section 8.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master
Servicer Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and
working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or
unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer
Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the Certificates,
the Trust Fund or this Agreement. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating
Agencies of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Default of which it has
knowledge as provided above.
Notwithstanding
the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to continue to so act,
or
shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to
appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any established housing and home finance
institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or mortgage servicing
institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 and meeting such
other standards for a successor master servicer as are set forth in this
Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage
Loans in the assumption of all of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities
of
a master servicer, like the Master Servicer.
To
the
extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to the termination
of
the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans, appointment of a
successor Master Servicer or the transfer and assumption of the master servicing
with respect to the Mortgage Loans by the Trustee (including, without
limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and
expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the
Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans as a result of a Master
Servicer Default and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete
transfer of the master servicing with respect to the Mortgage Loans, including
all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or
manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor Master
Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or
otherwise to enable the successor Master Servicer to master service the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with this Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed
by
the terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement
of such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account. 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. Furthermore, neither the Trustee nor any other successor master
servicer shall be liable for any acts or omissions of the terminated Master
Servicer.
Section
8.02 Master
Servicer or Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On
and
after the time a Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 8.01 of this Agreement or pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the
Master Servicer or, if Xxxxx Fargo is the defaulting Servicer, the Trustee,
shall become the successor to such Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage
Loans and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and after a
transition period (not to exceed 90 days), shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
terminated Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof or the Servicing
Agreement, as applicable, and applicable law including the obligation to make
Advances with respect to the related Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article V hereof
or the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, except as otherwise provided herein
or therein; provided, however, that the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s
obligation to make Advances with respect to the related Mortgage Loan in its
capacity as Successor Servicer shall not be subject to such 90-day transition
period and the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, will make any
Advance required to be made by the terminated Servicer on the Distribution
Date
on which the terminated Servicer was required to make such Advance. Effective
on
the date of such notice of termination, as compensation therefor, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to all fees, costs
and
expenses relating to the related Mortgage Loans that the terminated Servicer
would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder or under the
Servicing Agreement, as applicable, provided, however, that neither the Master
Servicer nor the Trustee shall be (i) liable for any acts or omissions of the
terminated Servicer, (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from
doing so under applicable law or determines that such Advance, if made, would
constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, (iii) responsible for expenses of the
terminated Servicer pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement or pursuant
to the Servicing Agreement or (iv) obligated to deposit losses on any Permitted
Investment directed by the terminated Servicer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, may, if it shall
be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from
making Advances pursuant to Article VI of this Agreement or if it is otherwise
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 terminated Servicer hereunder in
the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities
of
the terminated Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans hereunder
or
under the Servicing Agreement. Any Successor Servicer shall (i) be an
institution that is a Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in
good standing, that has a net worth of at least $15,000,000 and (ii) be willing
to act as successor servicer of the related Mortgage Loans under this Agreement
or under the Servicing Agreement, and shall have executed and delivered to
the
Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment,
that contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the terminated Servicer with
respect to the related Mortgage Loans (other than any liabilities of the
terminated Servicer hereof incurred prior to termination of such Servicer under
Section 8.01 of this Agreement or under the Servicing Agreement, as
applicable), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this
Agreement or under the Servicing Agreement, provided that each Rating Agency
shall have acknowledged in writing 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. If the Master Servicer
or the Trustee assumes the duties and responsibilities of the terminated
Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans in accordance with this
Section 8.02, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not
resign as servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and has
accepted such appointment. Pending appointment of a successor to the terminated
Servicer hereunder or under this Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or
the
Trustee, as applicable, unless such party is prohibited by law from so acting,
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of
payments on the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such successor
shall agree; provided that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the terminated Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans
hereunder or under this Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or the Trustee,
as applicable and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither
the
Master Servicer nor any other Successor 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 terminated Servicer to deliver or provide, or
any
delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records
to
it.
The
costs
and expenses of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, in connection
with the termination of the terminated Servicer, appointment of a Successor
Servicer and, if applicable, any transfer of servicing, including, without
limitation, all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of
all
servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing
data as may be required by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
to
correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to
enable the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Successor Servicer to service
the
related Mortgage Loans properly and effectively, to the extent not paid by
the
terminated Servicer as may be required herein shall be payable to the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, from the Distribution Account pursuant
to Section 3.32. Any successor to the terminated Servicer as successor
servicer under this Agreement shall give notice to the applicable Mortgagors
of
such change of servicer and shall, during the term of its service as successor
servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the terminated Servicer
is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement or
pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any Servicing
Fee
or for any differential in the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder or
under any Servicing Agreement, as applicable, and the amount necessary to induce
any successor master servicer or successor servicer to act as successor master
servicer or successor servicer under this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement,
as applicable, and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein.
Section
8.03 Notification
to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon
any
termination of or appointment of a successor to a Servicer or the Master
Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the
Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within
sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any Servicer Default or Master Servicer
Default, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice
of
each such Servicer Default or Master Servicer Default hereunder known to the
Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived.
Section
8.04 Waiver
of Servicer Defaults and Master Servicer Defaults.
The
Trustee shall waive by written notice from Certificateholders evidencing 66-2/3%
of the Voting Rights of the Certificates affected thereby (unless such default
materially and adversely affects all Certificateholders, in which case the
written direction shall be from all of the Certificateholders) any default
by a
Servicer or the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder
or under the Servicing Agreement and its consequences. Upon any such
waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer
Default or Master Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent
thereon except to the extent expressly so waived in writing.
ARTICLE
IX
CONCERNING
THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR
Section
9.01 Duties
of Trustee and Securities Administrator.
(a) The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Default with respect to Xxxxx
Fargo or a Master Servicer Default, and after the curing or waiver of all
Servicer Defaults with respect to Xxxxx Fargo and all Master Servicer Defaults,
which may have occurred, and the Securities Administrator each undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement as duties of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator,
respectively. If a Servicer Default with respect to Xxxxx Fargo or a Master
Servicer Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived, the Trustee
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement,
and
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s
own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee enumerated in this
Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.
(b) Each
of
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions,
certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other
instruments furnished to it, which are specifically required to be
furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to
determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. If any
such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement
in
a material manner, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case
may
be, shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument
corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, the
Securities Administrator will provide notice to the Trustee
thereof.
(c) The
Trustee shall promptly remit to the related Servicer any complaint, claim,
demand, notice or other document (collectively, the “Notices”) delivered to the
Trustee as a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder and
relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans; provided than any such notice
(i) is delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, (ii) contains
information sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination that the
real property to which such document relates is a Mortgaged Property. The
Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any Notice it may receive
or which may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it unless
such
Notice is delivered to it or served upon it at its Corporate Trust Office and
such Notice contains the information required pursuant to clause (ii) of the
preceding sentence.
(d) No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however,
that:
(i) Prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Default with respect to Xxxxx Fargo or a Master
Servicer Default and after the curing or waiver of all such Servicer Defaults
with respect to Xxxxx Fargo and all Master Servicer Defaults which may have
occurred with respect to the Trustee and at all times with respect to the
Securities Administrator, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the
Securities Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of
this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall
be
liable except for the performance of its duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or
the
Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, respectively, may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected
in acting or refraining from acting, as to the truth of the statements and
the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions
furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, that
conform to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable in its individual
capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer
or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee or an officer or officers of the Securities
Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or
Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;
(iii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to
any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed
by it to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by
this
Agreement or in accordance with the directions of the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates,
if such action or non-action relates to the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator or exercising any trust or other power conferred upon the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator under this Agreement;
(iv) The
Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or
knowledge of any default, Servicer Default with respect to Xxxxx Fargo or Master
Servicer Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge thereof. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively
assume there is no such default, Servicer Default with respect to Xxxxx Fargo
or
Master Servicer Default;
(v) The
Trustee shall not in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in any
Account held by or in the name of Trustee unless it is determined by a court
of
competent jurisdiction that the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct
was the primary cause of such insufficiency (except to the extent that the
Trustee is obligor and has defaulted thereon);
(vi) Anything
in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator be liable for special, indirect, punitive or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited
to lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Securities Administrator has been
advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form
of
action and whether or not any such damages were foreseeable or contemplated;
and
(vii) None
of
the Sponsor, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be responsible for the acts
or
omissions of the other, it being understood that this Agreement shall not be
construed to render them partners, joint venturers or agents of one
another.
Neither
the Trustee (regardless of the capacity in which it is acting) nor the
Securities Administrator shall be required to expend or risk its own funds
or
otherwise incur liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any
of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if
there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to
it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event
require the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform, or be
responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the
terminated Servicer hereunder.
(e) All
funds
received by the Securities Administrator and required to be deposited in the
Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly so deposited
by
the Securities Administrator.
Section
9.02 Certain
Matters Affecting the Trustee and Securities Administrator.

as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(i) The
Trustee and the Securities Administrator may conclusively rely and shall be
fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance on any

paper
or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by
the proper party or parties;

(iii) Neither
the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any obligation
to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement, other
than
its obligation to give notices pursuant to this Agreement, or to institute,

order or direction of any of the Certificateholders pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as the case may be, reasonable security
or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which may be incurred therein or thereby. Nothing contained herein shall,
however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of a
Servicer Default with respect to Xxxxx Fargo or a Master Servicer Default of
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge (which has
not
been cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by
this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise,
as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his own affairs;

the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable in its individual
capacity for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and

the occurrence of a Servicer Default with respect to Xxxxx Fargo or a Master
Servicer Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Servicer

the
Securities Administrator, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates evidencing not less
than twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate Voting Rights of the
Certificates and provided that the payment within a reasonable time to the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement,
the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, may require reasonable
indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to taking any such
action. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the
Certificateholders requesting the investigation;
(vi) The
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or through Affiliates, nominees, custodians, agents

hereunder by the Trustee with due care;

the Trustee deem the nature of any action required on its part to be unclear,
the Trustee may require prior to such action that it be provided by the

perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be accountable for other than
its
gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such
act;

Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety with respect to the
execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted
hereunder;

for purposes of this Agreement;
(x) The
Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any complaint, claim,
demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may be alleged to
have
been delivered or served upon it by the parties as a consequence of the

shall promptly remit to the Servicer upon receipt any such complaint, claim,
demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered to the Trustee at is
Corporate Trust Office, (ii) of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge
and (iii) which contains information sufficient to permit the Trustee to make
a
determination that the real property to which such document relates is a
Mortgaged Property; and

and the representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section 9.12)

resignation, the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator, as the case
may
be, may, at the expense of the Trust Fund, petition any court of competent

Administrator, as applicable.
If

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 to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
A
copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders, the
Trustee (in the case of the removal of the Securities Administrator), the
Securities Administrator (in the case of the removal of the Trustee) and the
Master Servicer by the Depositor.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and
appointment of a successor trustee or successor Securities Administrator
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not become

Securities Administrator, as applicable, as provided in

Any
successor trustee or successor Securities Administrator appointed as provided

Section 9.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor
and to its predecessor trustee or predecessor Securities Administrator
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation
or
removal of the predecessor trustee or predecessor Securities Administrator
shall
become effective and such successor trustee or successor Securities
Administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee or Securities
Administrator herein. The predecessor trustee or predecessor Securities
Administrator shall deliver to the successor trustee or successor Securities
Administrator all Mortgage Loan Documents and related documents and statements
to the extent held by it hereunder, as well as all monies, held by it hereunder,
and the Depositor and the predecessor trustee or predecessor Securities

things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor trustee or successor Securities Administrator all
such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No

as provided in this Section 9.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor trustee or successor Securities Administrator shall be eligible under
the provisions of Section 9.07 hereof and its appointment shall not
adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or successor Securities
Administrator as provided in this Section 9.08, the successor trustee or
successor Securities Administrator shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates.

notwithstanding.
Section
9.10 Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of, REMIC I or any property
securing the same may at the time be located, the Trustee 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 REMIC
I, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, and for the benefit
of the Holders of the Certificates, such title to REMIC I, or any part thereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.10, such powers,
duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary
or
desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet
the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 9.06
hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of
co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 9.08
hereof.
In
the
case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this
Section 9.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except
to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act
or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or
as
successor to a defaulting 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 or
REMIC I or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised
and
performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the
Trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee
or
co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article
IX.
Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trust
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee, or separately,
as
may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or

(i) It
is a
national banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the United States of America.
(ii) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by it, and the performance and
compliance with the terms of this Agreement by it, will not violate its articles
of association or bylaws or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice
or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in
the
breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party
or
which is applicable to it or any of its assets.
(iii) It
has
the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery
and
performance of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this
Agreement.

Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other
parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of it,
enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (A)
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium
and
other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (B)
general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(v) It
is not
in violation of, and its execution and delivery of this Agreement and its
performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute
a violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or any
order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local governmental or
regulatory authority, which violation, in its good faith and reasonable
judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely either the ability of
it
to perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial
condition.
No
litigation is pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened against
it,
which would prohibit it from entering into this Agreement or, in its good faith
reasonable judgment, is likely to materially and adversely affect either the
ability of it to perform its obligations under this Agreement or its financial
condition.
Section

as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or
times in the manner required by the Code for the Trust Fund; (c) the Securities

to be
prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue

Provisions, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue
discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) the Securities Administrator
shall
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

a
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) the Securities Administrator shall, to the extent under
its
control, conduct the affairs of the Trust Fund at all times that any
Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of each REMIC formed
hereunder as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (g) the Securities
Administrator shall 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 formed hereunder; (h) the Securities Administrator shall pay, from the
sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 9.12, the amount of
any federal, state and local taxes, including prohibited transaction taxes
as
described below, imposed on any REMIC formed hereunder prior to the termination
of the Trust Fund when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such
obligation shall not prevent the Securities Administrator or any other
appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings
and
shall not prevent the Securities Administrator from withholding payment of
such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (i) the
Trustee shall sign or cause to be signed federal, state or local income tax
or
information returns or any other document prepared by the Securities
Administrator pursuant to this Section 9.13 requiring a signature thereon

or
information; (k) the Securities Administrator shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the REMICs on a calendar
year and on an accrual basis; (l) the Securities Administrator shall not enter

the
REMICs will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit the
REMICs to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as
defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as
defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code; and (m) as and when necessary
and appropriate, the Securities Administrator shall represent the Trust Fund
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 REMIC formed hereunder, enter into settlement agreements
with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating
to any tax item of the Trust Fund, and otherwise act on behalf of each REMIC
formed hereunder in relation to any tax matter involving any such

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 Securities Administrator promptly
upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that
the
Securities Administrator may, from time to time, request in order to enable
the
Securities Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein. The

liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Securities Administrator arising
from any errors or miscalculations of the Securities Administrator that result
from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided,
accurate information or data to the Securities Administrator on a timely
basis.
In
the
event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC as
defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from

be paid by (i) the Securities Administrator, if any such other tax arises out
of

In

Swap
Provider confirming (in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Swap
Agreement) (a) its receipt of the Termination Price (other than the Swap

exceed the Estimated Swap Termination Payment, and (ii) to the Master Servicer
an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Estimated Swap Termination Payment
over the Swap Termination Payment. The Swap Termination Payment shall
not be part of any REMIC and shall not be paid into any account which is part
of
any REMIC.
Section
10.02 Final
Distribution on the Certificates.
If
on any
Determination Date, (i) the Securities Administrator determines based on the
reports delivered by the Master Servicer under this Agreement that there are
no
Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other
than the funds in the Distribution Account, the Securities Administrator shall
notify the Trustee and send a final distribution notice promptly to each
Certificateholder or (ii) the Securities Administrator determines that a Class
of Certificates shall be retired after a final distribution on such Class,
the
Securities Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the Certificateholders
within five (5) Business Days after such Determination Date that the final
distribution in retirement of such Class of Certificates is scheduled to be
made
on the immediately following Distribution Date. Any final distribution made
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence will be made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Securities
Administrator set forth herein. If the Master Servicer elects to exercise the
Cleanup Call pursuant to Section 10.01, at least twenty (20) days prior to
the date notice is to be mailed to the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer
shall notify the Securities Administrator and the Trustee of the date the Master
Servicer intends to exercise the Cleanup Call. The Master Servicer shall remit
the Termination Price to the Securities Administrator on behalf of the related
REMIC on the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date for such Optional
Termination by the Master Servicer.
Notice
of
the exercise of the Cleanup Call specifying the Distribution Date on which
the
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Securities
Administrator by letter to the Certificateholders mailed no later than the
fifteenth (15th) day of the month of such final distribution. Any such notice
shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on such
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates
at 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 such Certificates at the office therein specified.
The Securities Administrator will give such notice to each Rating Agency at
the
time such notice is given to the Certificateholders.
In
the
event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the
Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution
Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the
Certificates. Upon certification to the Trustee by the Securities Administrator
of the making of such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release or
cause
to be released to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for the remaining
Mortgage Loans and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements
and
other instruments delivered to it and necessary to effectuate such
transfer.
Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities Administrator
shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of each such Class the
amounts allocable to such Certificates held in the Distribution Account in
the
order and priority set forth in Section 5.05 hereof on the final
Distribution Date and in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests.
In
the
event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates
for
cancellation within six (6) months after the date specified in the above
mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator shall give a second
written notice to the remaining affected Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within six (6) months after the second notice all the applicable
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities
Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take
appropriate steps, to contact the remaining affected Certificateholders
concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid
out of the funds and other assets that remain a part of the Trust
Fund. If within two (2) years after the second notice all affected
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Residual
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
of
the Trust Fund that remain subject hereto and the Securities Administrator
shall
release such funds upon written direction.
Section

Termination Requirements.
In
the
event of (i) the exercise by the Master Servicer of the Cleanup Call pursuant
to
the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) the final payment on or other liquidation
of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property in REMIC I pursuant to
Section 10.01, the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee
has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master
Servicer or the Depositor, to the effect that the failure of the
Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.03 will not
(i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of a REMIC,
or (ii) cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the
Certificates are outstanding:
(1)
|
The
Master Servicer (in the case of the exercise of the Cleanup Call)
or the
Depositor (in all other cases) shall establish a ninety-day liquidation
period and notify the Securities Administrator thereof, and the Securities
Administrator shall in turn specify the first day of such period
in a
statement attached to the tax return for each of REMIC I, REMIC II,
REMIC
III, REMIC IV, REMIC V or REMIC VI, as applicable, pursuant to Treasury
regulation Section 1.860F-1. The Master Servicer or the Depositor,
as
applicable, shall satisfy all the requirements of a qualified liquidation
under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the
Master
Servicer or the Depositor, as
applicable;
|
(2)
|
During
such ninety-day liquidation period, and at or prior to the time of
making
the final payment on the Certificates, the Master Servicer (in the
case of
the exercise of the Cleanup Call) or the Depositor (in all other
cases)
shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I for cash;
and
|
(3)
|
At
the time of the making of the final payment on the Certificates,
the
Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or
credited, to the Holders of the Residual Certificates all cash on
hand in
the Trust Fund (other than cash retained to meet claims), and the
Trust
Fund shall terminate at that time.
|
By
their
acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby authorize the Master
Servicer (in the case of the exercise of the Cleanup Call) or the Depositor
(in
all other cases) to specify the ninety-day liquidation period for REMIC I,
REMIC
II, REMIC III, REMIC IV, REMIC V and REMIC VI, as applicable, which
authorization shall be binding upon all successor
Certificateholders.
The
Securities Administrator as agent for each REMIC hereby agrees to adopt and
sign
such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the Master
Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, and the receipt of the Opinion of
Counsel referred to in Section 10.03(1) and to take such other action in
connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer
or
the Depositor, as applicable.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS
Section
11.01 Amendment.
This
Agreement may be amended from time to time by parties hereto without the consent
of any of the Certificateholders to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement
any provisions herein, to change the manner in which the Distribution Account
maintained by the Securities Administrator or the Custodial Accounts maintained
by the Servicers are maintained or to make such other provisions with respect
to
matters or questions arising under this Agreement as shall not be inconsistent
with any other provisions herein if such action shall not, as evidenced by
an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of
any Certificateholder (or the Swap Provider unless the Swap Provider shall
have
consented to the amendment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld);
provided that any such amendment shall be deemed not to adversely affect in
any
material respect the interests of the Certificateholders and no such Opinion
of
Counsel shall be required if the Person requesting such amendment obtains a
letter from each Rating Agency stating that such amendment would not result
in
the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates; provided further that any such amendment shall be deemed not
to
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders
and no such Opinion of Counsel nor any letter from the Rating Agencies stating
that such amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the
respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates shall be required if such
amendment is to effect a transfer of servicing to a successor Servicer pursuant
to and in accordance with Section 7.06(a).
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, without the consent of the Certificateholders or the Swap
Provider, the parties hereto may at any time and from time to time amend this
Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent
as
shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of each REMIC
as
a REMIC under the Code or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of
any
tax on any REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against any REMIC
at
any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates, 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 appropriate to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize
the risk of the imposition of such a tax.
This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto, and
the
Holders of each Class of Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50%
of
the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes 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 (or, if such amendment modifies the rights of the Swap Provider
hereunder, with the consent of the Swap Provider, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld); provided that no such amendment shall (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) cause any REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC or (iii) reduce
the aforesaid percentages of Certificates of each Class the Holders of which
are
required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders
of
all Certificates of such Class 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 be an expense of the party requesting such
amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee, to the effect
that such amendment will not (other than an amendment pursuant to clause (ii)
of, and in accordance with, the preceding paragraph) cause the imposition of
any
tax on any REMIC or the Certificateholders or cause any REMIC to cease to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. Further,
nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment
without receiving an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Trustee that (i)
such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and (ii)
that all requirements for amending this Agreement (including any consent of
the
applicable Certificateholders) have been complied with.
Promptly
after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent
of
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the
substance 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.
Notwithstanding
any of the other provisions of this Section 11.01, none of the parties to
this Agreement shall enter into any amendment to this Agreement that could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the interests of
the
Swap Provider hereunder (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any amendment
to
this Agreement that is entered into solely for the purpose of appointing a
successor servicer, master servicer, securities administrator, trustee or other
service provider) without the prior written consent of the Swap Provider, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to enter into any amendment that affects
its rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section
11.02 Recordation
of Agreement; Counterparts.
To
the
extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation
in
all appropriate public offices for real property records in all of the counties
or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged
Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office
or
elsewhere. The Sponsor or the Depositor shall effect such recordation at the
Trust’s expense upon the request in writing of a Certificateholder, but only if
such direction is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense
of the Certificateholder requesting recordation) to the effect that such
recordation would materially and beneficially affect the interests of the
Certificateholders or is required by law.
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.
Section
11.03 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

HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH

Section
11.04 Intention
of Parties.
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Notes,
Mortgages, assignments of Mortgages, title insurance policies and any
modifications, extensions and/or assumption agreements and private mortgage
insurance policies relating to the Mortgage Loans by the Sponsor to the
Depositor, and by the Depositor to the Trust Fund be, and be construed as,
an
absolute sale thereof to the Depositor or the Trust Fund, as applicable. It
is,
further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a
pledge thereof by the Sponsor to the Depositor, or by the Depositor to the
Trust
Fund. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties,
such assets are held to be the property of the Sponsor or the Depositor, as
applicable, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to
create a security interest in such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial
Code of the State of New York and (ii) each conveyance provided for in this
Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Sponsor or
the
Depositor, as applicable, 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.
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 assets
of 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.

or
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto

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 enforcement of the provisions of this Section 11.08,
each and every Certificateholder or the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief
as can be given either at law or in equity.
Section
11.09 Certificates
Nonassessable and Fully Paid.
It
is the
intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be personally
liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the Trust Fund
represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason
whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the
Trustee pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed fully
paid.
Section
11.10 Intention
of the Parties and Interpretation.
Each
of
the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 3.13, 3.14,
3.18 and Section 5.17 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the
Sponsor and the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB promulgated
by
the SEC under the Exchange Act (17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100 - 229.1123), as such may
be amended from time to time and subject to clarification and interpretive
advice as may be issued by the staff of the SEC from time to
time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees that (a) the obligations
of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish
that purpose, (b) the parties’ obligations hereunder will be supplemented and
modified as necessary to be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive
advice or guidance, convention or consensus among active participants in the
asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise in respect
of
the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties shall comply with requests
made by the Sponsor or the Depositor for delivery of additional or different
information as the Sponsor or the Depositor may determine in good faith is
necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB and (d) no amendment
of
this Agreement shall be required to effect any such changes in the parties’
obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of the
provisions of Regulation AB.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Servicer shall be under no obligation to provide any
information in addition to that required by Sections 3.13, 3.14, 3.18 and
Section 5.17 of this Agreement as of the Closing Date that the Depositor deems
required under Regulation AB if (i) the Servicer does not believe that such
additional information is required under Regulation AB and (ii) the Servicer
is
not providing such additional information for its own securitizations, unless
the Depositor pays all reasonable costs incurred by the Servicer in connection
with the preparation and delivery of such additional information and the
Servicer is given reasonable time to establish the necessary systems and
procedures to produce such additional information.
Section
11.11 Early
Termination of the Cap Contract.
Upon
a
Cap Contract early termination other than in connection with the Optional
Termination, the Depositor will use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor
cap provider to enter into a new cap contract on terms substantially similar
to
the Cap Contract, with a successor cap provider meeting all applicable
eligibility requirements. The Securities Administrator will apply any
Cap Contract termination payment received from the original Cap Provider in
connection with such Cap Contract early termination to the upfront payment
required to appoint the successor cap provider.
If
the
Depositor is unable to appoint a successor cap provider within 30 days of the
Cap Contract early termination, then the Securities Administrator shall deposit
any Cap Contract termination payment received from the original Cap Provider
into a separate, non-interest bearing reserve account and will, on each
subsequent Distribution Date, withdraw from the amount then remaining on deposit
in such reserve account an amount equal to the payment, if any, that would
have
been paid to the Securities Administrator by the original Cap Provider
calculated in accordance with the terms of the original Cap Contract, and
distribute such amount in accordance with the last paragraph of
Section 5.05(a).
Section
11.12 Early
Termination of a Swap Agreement.
Upon
a
Swap Agreement early termination other than in connection with the Optional
Termination, the Depositor will use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor
swap provider, meeting all applicable eligibility requirements, which shall
enter into a new interest rate swap agreement on terms substantially similar
to
the Swap Agreement with the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee. If the
Securities Administrator receives a Swap Termination Payment from the Swap
Provider in connection with such Swap Early Termination, the Securities
Administrator will apply such Swap Termination Payment to any upfront payment
required to appoint the successor swap provider. If the Securities
Administrator is required to pay a Swap Termination Payment to the Swap Provider
in connection with such Swap Early Termination, the Securities Administrator
will apply any upfront payment received from the successor swap provider to
pay
such Swap Termination Payment.
If
the
Depositor is unable to appoint a successor swap provider within 30 days of
the
Swap Early Termination, then the Securities Administrator will deposit any
Swap
Termination Payment received from the original Swap Provider into a separate,
non-interest bearing reserve account and will, on each subsequent Distribution
Date, withdraw from the amount then remaining on deposit in such reserve account
an amount equal to the related Net Swap Payment, if any, that would have been
paid to the Securities Administrator by the original Swap Provider calculated
in
accordance with the terms of the original Swap Agreement, and distribute such
amount in accordance with Section 5.06.
Section
11.13 Third
Party Beneficiaries
The
Swap
Provider shall be an express third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the
extent of its express rights to receive any payments under this Agreement or
any
other express rights of the Swap
Provider explicitly stated in this Agreement, and shall have
the right to enforce such rights under this Agreement as if it were a party
hereto.

MORTGAGE
PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
SERIES
2007-2
evidencing
a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class
A-[1A][1B][2][3][4][5][6][7] Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family fixed-rate
mortgage loans sold by NOMURA ASSET ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION.
This
Certificate is payable solely from
the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or
interest in Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation (“NAAC”) or the
Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate
nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental
entity or by NAAC or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other
person.
None of NAAC, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any of their
affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other
obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This
certifies that Cede & Co. is
the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the
beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this
Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional
first lien, fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences,
units in planned unit developments, individual condominium units, cooperatives,
condotels and townhouses (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by NAAC. The
Mortgage Loans were sold by Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc. (the “Sponsor”) to
NAAC. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among NAAC, as
depositor (the “Depositor”), the Sponsor, GMAC Mortgage, LLC, as a servicer,
HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, N.A., as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and securities
administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to
them in
the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder
of
this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which
such
Holder is bound.
Interest
on this Certificate will accrue during [FOR CLASS A[-1A][2][3][4][7]][the
period
commencing on the immediately preceding Distribution Date (as hereinafter
defined)(or with respect to the first Accrual Period, the Closing Date) to
and
including the 24th day of the calendar month in which such Distribution date
occurs][FOR CLASS A[-1B][[5][6]][the calendar month immediately preceding
the
calendar month in which such Distribution Date occurs] on the Certificate
Principal Balance hereof at a per annum Pass-Through Rate equal to the lesser
of
[FOR CLASS A-[1A][2]][ (i) the sum of One-Month
LIBOR for such distribution date plus a certificate margin equal to
[_____]%][FOR CLASS A-1B][____%][FOR CLASS A-[3][4][7]][(i) the sum of One-Month
LIBOR for such Distribution Date plus (A) on or prior to the first possible
Optional Termination Date, a certificate margin equal to[_____]% or
(B) after the first possible Optional Termination Date, a certificate margin
equal to [_____]%] [FOR CLASS A- [5][6]][(i) (A) on or prior to the first
possible Optional Termination Date, [_____]% or (B) after the first possible
Optional Termination Date, [_____]% and (ii) the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate
for
such Distribution Date] and (ii) the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such
Distribution Date.
The
Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or,
if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day
(each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date
specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
on
the applicable Record Date, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount (of interest and
principal, if any) required to be distributed to the Holders of Certificates
of
the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is
the
Distribution Date in June 2037 which is not likely to be the date on which
the
Certificate Principal Balance of this Class of Certificates will be reduced
to
zero.
Distributions
on this Certificate will
be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of
the
Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities
Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after
due
notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution
and
only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or
agency
appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated
in
such notice. The initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate
is
set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced
to the
extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon.
This
Certificate is one of a duly
authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof
(the
“Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the
Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its
acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust
Fund 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.
[Class
A-[1A][1B][2][3][4][5]
Certificates][Prior to the termination of the Final Maturity Reserve Trust
or
Supplemental Interest Trust, any transferee of this Certificate shall be
deemed
to have made the representations set forth in Section 6.02(b) of the
Agreement.][Class A-[6][7] Certificates][No transfer of this Certificate
may be
made except in accordance with Section 6.02(b) of 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 hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Securities Administrator. This Certificate is limited in right
of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage
Loans
and other assets included in the Trust Fund, Supplemental Interest
Trust and Final Maturity Reserve Trust, all as more specifically set
forth in the Agreement.
The
Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of
the
rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders
under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent
of
the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing
over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. 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 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 with the Securities Administrator upon surrender
of
this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies
maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed
by,
or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the
Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest
will be issued to the designated transferee.
The
Certificates are issuable only as
registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or
more
new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made to the
Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities
Administrator 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 Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of any
of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any such agent shall be affected
by
notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the
Agreement (other than the obligations to make payments to the holders of
the
Certificates) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the
maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition of all property
acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Loan and
(B) the
remittance of all funds due under the Agreement with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the Master Servicer of all the
Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund relating to the Mortgage
Loans
in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may
be
made by the Master Servicer only on or after the Distribution Date on which
the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the
percentage of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
is
less than or equal to 10% of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans. The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of
the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
not
be entitled to exercise the Cleanup Call to the extent that the Depositor
creates a net interest margin transaction which includes the Class X
Certificates or Class P Certificates and the notes issued pursuant to such
net
interest margin transaction are outstanding on the date on which the Master
Servicer intends to exercise the Cleanup Call. In no event, however, will
the
Trust Fund created by the Agreement continue beyond the earlier of (i) the
expiration of 21 years after the death of certain persons identified in the
Agreement and (ii) the Assumed Final Distribution Date.
Unless
this Certificate has been
countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator
by
manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities
Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

MORTGAGE
PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
SERIES

evidencing
a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the
Class M-[1][2][3][4][5] Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family fixed-rate
mortgage loans sold by NOMURA ASSET ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION.
This
Certificate is payable solely from
the assets of the Trust Fund, and does not represent an obligation of or
interest in Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation (“NAAC”) or the
Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other person. Neither this Certificate
nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or insured by any governmental
entity or by NAAC or the Trustee or any of their affiliates or any other
person.
None of NAAC, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any of their
affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other
obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This
certifies that Cede & Co. is
the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the
beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this
Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional
first lien, fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences,
units in planned unit developments, individual condominium units, cooperatives,
condotels and townhouses (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by NAAC. The
Mortgage Loans were sold by Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc. (the “Sponsor”) to
NAAC. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among NAAC, as
depositor (the “Depositor”), the Sponsor, GMAC Mortgage, LLC, as a servicer,
HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, N.A. as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and securities
administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to
them in
the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder
of
this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which
such
Holder is bound.
Interest
on this Certificate will
accrue during the calendar month prior to the calendar month in which a
Distribution Date (as hereinafter defined) occurs on the Certificate Principal
Balance hereof at a per annum Pass-Through Rate equal to the lesser of (i)
the
sum of One-Month LIBOR for such Distribution Date plus (A) with respect to
each
Distribution Date which occurs on or prior to the Optional Termination Date,
a
Certificate margin equal to [____]% per annum and (B) with respect to each
Distribution Date which occurs thereafter, a Certificate margin equal to
[____]%
per annum and (ii) the Net WAC Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution
Date. The Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of
each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately
following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First
Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate
is registered at the close of business on the last Business Day of the calendar
month immediately preceding the month in which the Distribution Date occurs,
an
amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount (of interest and principal, if any) required to
be
distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this
Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date
in
June 2037 which is not likely to be the date on which the Certificate Principal
Balance of this Class of Certificates will be reduced to zero.
Distributions
on this Certificate will
be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of
the
Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities
Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after
due
notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution
and
only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or
agency
appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated
in
such notice. The initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate
is
set forth above. The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced
to the
extent of distributions allocable to principal hereon and any Realized Losses
allocable hereto.
This
Certificate is one of a duly
authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof
(the
“Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the
Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its
acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust
Fund 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 hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Securities
Administrator. This Certificate is limited in right of payment to
certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans and other
assets included in the Trust Fund, Supplemental Interest Trust and Final
Maturity Reserve Trust, all as more specifically set forth in the
Agreement.
The
Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of
the
rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders
under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent
of
the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing
over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. 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 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 with the Securities Administrator upon surrender
of
this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies
maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed
by,
or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the
Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest
will be issued to the designated transferee.
No
transfer of this Certificate may be
made except in accordance with Section 6.02(b) of the Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable only as
registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or
more
new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made to the
Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities
Administrator 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 Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of any
of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the
Agreement (other than the obligations to make payments to the holders of
the
Certificates) shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the later of (A) the
maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect thereto) of the last
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition of all property
acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan
and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement with respect
to the
Mortgage Loans, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the Master Servicer of
all
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with
the
terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may be made by the Master
Servicer only if on such Distribution Date the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. The exercise
of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be entitled
to
exercise the Cleanup Call to the extent that the Depositor creates a net
interest margin transaction which includes the Class X Certificates or Class
P
Certificates and the notes issued pursuant to such net interest margin
transaction are outstanding on the date on which the Master Servicer intends
to
exercise the Cleanup Call. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created
by
the Agreement continue beyond the earlier to occur of (i) expiration of 21
years
after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the
Assumed Final Distribution Date.
Unless
this Certificate has been
countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator
by
manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities
Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class
P
Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool
of
conventional one- to four-family fixed-rate mortgage loans sold by NOMURA
ASSET
ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION.
This
Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does
not
represent an obligation of or interest in Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation
(“NAAC”) or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any
other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans
are
guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by NAAC or the Trustee
or
any of their affiliates or any other person. None of NAAC, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator or any of their affiliates will have any obligation
with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable
from
payments on the Certificates.
This
certifies that
[ ]
is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the
beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this
Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”), generally consisting of conventional
first lien, fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four- family
residences, units in planned unit developments, individual condominium units,
cooperatives, condotels and townhouses (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold
by NAAC. The Mortgage Loans were sold by Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc. (the
“Sponsor”) to NAAC. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the
“Agreement”), among NAAC, as depositor (the “Depositor”), the Sponsor, GMAC
Mortgage, LLC, as a servicer, HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee
(the “Trustee”), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as master servicer (the “Master
Servicer”) and securities administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), a
summary of certain of the pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter.
To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have
the
meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under
and
is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof
assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Distributions
on this Certificate will be made by the Securities Administrator by check
mailed
to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall
appear on the Certificate Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying
the Securities Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate
will
be made after due notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency
of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the
office or agency appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose
and
designated in such notice.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant
to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not
require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer
of
this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, the
Securities Administrator shall require receipt of (i) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written
certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect the
transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the
forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit E and either F or G, as applicable,
and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that
such
transfer may be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor,
the
Securities Administrator or the Trustee in their respective capacities as
such),
together with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective
transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is based. Neither the Depositor,
the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee is obligated to register or
qualify
the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act
or any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration
or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
the
Depositor and the Sponsor 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 this Certificate shall be made to any person unless the transferee
provides a certification pursuant to Section 6.02(b) of the
Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as set
forth on the face hereof (the “Certificates”). The Certificates, in the
aggregate, evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust
Fund
formed pursuant to the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the Trust Fund for payment hereunder and that the Securities
Administrator 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 hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Securities Administrator. This Certificate is limited in right
of payment to Prepayment Charges collected in respect of the Mortgage Loans
and
amounts on deposit in the Class P Certificate Account as more specifically
set
forth in the Agreement.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor
and
the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement from time to time
by
the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of the Class or Classes
of
Certificates affected thereby evidencing over 50% of the Voting Rights of
such
Class or Classes. 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
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 with the Securities
Administrator upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer
at
the offices or agencies maintained by the Securities Administrator for such
purposes, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the
Holder
hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Certificates in authorized denominations representing a like
aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated
transferee.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in the
Classes and denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Certificate
is exchangeable for one or more new Certificates evidencing the same Class
and
in the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made to the Certificateholders for any such registration
of transfer, but the Securities Administrator 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 Trustee, the Securities
Administrator and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose
name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
none of
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator
or any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement (other than the obligations to make
payments to the holders of the Certificates) shall terminate upon the earlier
of
(i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition
of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure
of any
Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement
with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the Master
Servicer of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may
be made
by the Master Servicer only if on such Distribution Date the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 10% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.
The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be entitled
to
exercise the Cleanup Call to the extent that the Depositor creates a net
interest margin transaction which includes the Class X Certificates or Class
P
Certificates and the notes issued pursuant to such net interest margin
transaction are outstanding on the date on which the Master Servicer intends
to
exercise the Cleanup Call. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created
by
the Agreement continue beyond the earlier to occur of (i) expiration of 21
years
after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the
Assumed Final Distribution Date.
Unless
this Certificate has been countersigned by an authorized signatory of the
Securities Administrator by manual signature, this Certificate shall not
be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities Administrator has caused this Certificate

Mortgage Loans were sold by Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc. (the “Sponsor”) to
NAAC. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among NAAC, as
depositor (the “Depositor”), the Sponsor, GMAC Mortgage, LLC, as a servicer,
HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, N.A., as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and securities
administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to
them in
the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder
of
this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which
such
Holder is bound.
Interest
on this Certificate will
accrue during the month prior to the month in which a Distribution Date (as
hereinafter defined) occurs on the Certificate Notional Balance hereof at
a per
annum rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate as set forth in the Agreement.
The
Securities Administrator will distribute on the 25th day of each month, or,
if
such 25th day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day
(each, a “Distribution Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date
specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered
at
the close of business on the last day Business Day immediately preceding
such
Distribution Date, an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to
the
Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this Certificate. The Assumed
Final
Distribution Date is the Distribution Date in June 2037.
Distributions
on this Certificate will
be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of
the
Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities
Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after
due
notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution
and
only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or
agency
appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated
in
such notice.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall
be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an
effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities
laws,
or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or
qualification. In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to
be
made without registration or qualification, the Securities Administrator
shall
require receipt of (i) if such transfer is purportedly being made in reliance
upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written certifications from the Holder of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder’s prospective
transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit
E
and either F or G, as applicable, and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion
of
Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such
registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the
Trustee in their respective capacities as such), together with copies of
the
written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring to effect
the
transfer and/or such Holder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based. Neither the Depositor, the Securities Administrator nor
the
Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified
on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take
any
action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer
of such
Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Sponsor 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 this Certificate shall
be made to any person unless the transferee provides a certification pursuant
to
Section 6.02(b) of the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly
authorized issue of Certificates designated as set forth on the face hereof
(the
“Certificates”). The Certificates, in the aggregate, evidence the entire
beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund formed pursuant to the
Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its
acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust
Fund for payment hereunder and that neither the Trustee nor Securities
Administrator is 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 hereby, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Securities
Administrator. This Certificate is limited in right of payment to
certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans and other
assets included in the Trust Fund, Supplemental Interest Trust and
Final Maturity Reserve Trust, all as more specifically set forth in the
Agreement.
The
Agreement permits, with certain
exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of
the
rights and obligations of the Depositor and the rights of the Certificateholders
under the Agreement from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent
of
the Holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates affected thereby evidencing
over 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class or Classes. 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 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 with the Securities Administrator upon surrender
of
this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies
maintained by the Securities Administrator for such purposes, duly endorsed
by,
or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the
Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates
in authorized denominations representing a like aggregate Percentage Interest
will be issued to the designated transferee.
The
Certificates are issuable only as
registered Certificates without coupons in the Classes and denominations
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Certificate is exchangeable for one or
more
new Certificates evidencing the same Class and in the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made to the
Certificateholders for any such registration of transfer, but the Securities
Administrator 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 Trustee, the Securities Administrator and any agent of any
of them
may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner
hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any such agent shall be affected
by
notice to the contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement (other than the obligations to make
payments to the holders of the Certificates) shall terminate upon the earlier
of
(i) the later of (A) the maturity or other liquidation (or Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and disposition
of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure
of any
Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement
with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the Master
Servicer of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Such optional repurchase may
be made
by the Master Servicer only if on such Distribution Date the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 10% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.
The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be entitled
to
exercise the Cleanup Call to the extent that the Depositor creates a net
interest margin transaction which includes the Class X Certificates or Class
P
Certificates and the notes issued pursuant to such net interest margin
transaction are outstanding on the date on which the Master Servicer intends
to
exercise the Cleanup Call. In no event, however, will the Trust Fund created
by
the Agreement continue beyond the earlier to occur of (i) expiration of 21
years
after the death of certain persons identified in the Agreement and (ii) the
Assumed Final Distribution Date.
Unless
this Certificate has been
countersigned by an authorized signatory of the Securities Administrator
by
manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under
the Agreement, or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Securities
Administrator has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

evidencing
a fractional undivided interest in the distributions allocable to the Class
R[-X] Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a
pool
of conventional one- to four-family fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage
loans sold by NOMURA ASSET ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION.
This
Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does
not
represent an obligation of or interest in Nomura Asset Acceptance Corporation
(“NAAC”) or the Trustee referred to below or any of their affiliates or any
other person. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans
are
guaranteed or insured by any governmental entity or by NAAC or the Trustee
or
any of their affiliates or any other person. None of NAAC, the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator or any of their affiliates will have any obligation
with respect to any certificate or other obligation secured by or payable
from
payments on the Certificates.
This
certifies that
[ ]
is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest evidenced hereby in the
beneficial ownership interest of Certificates of the same Class as this
Certificate in a trust (the “Trust Fund”) generally consisting of conventional
first lien, fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences,
units in planned unit developments, individual condominium units, cooperatives,
condotels and townhouses (collectively, the “Mortgage Loans”) sold by NAAC. The
Mortgage Loans were sold by Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc. (the “Sponsor”) to
NAAC. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
dated as of the Cut-off Date specified above (the “Agreement”), among NAAC, as
depositor (the “Depositor”), the Sponsor, GMAC Mortgage, LLC, as a servicer,
HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, N.A., as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”) and securities
administrator (the “Securities Administrator”), a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined
herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to
them in
the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder
of
this Certificate by virtue of its acceptance hereof assents and by which
such
Holder is bound.
Each
Holder of this Certificate will be
deemed to have agreed to be bound by the restrictions set forth in the Agreement
to the effect that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in this Certificate must be a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee,
(ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will be
conditioned upon the delivery to the Securities Administrator of, among other
things, an affidavit to the effect that it is a United States Person and
Permitted Transferee, (iii) any attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership
Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be
absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee,
and (iv) if any person other than a United States Person and a Permitted
Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation
of
such restrictions, then the Depositor will have the right, in its sole
discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to sell
this
Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Depositor, which purchaser may
be the
Depositor, or any affiliate of the Depositor, on such terms and conditions
as
the Depositor may choose.
The
Securities Administrator will
distribute on the 25th day of each month, or, if such 25th day is not a Business
Day, the immediately following Business Day (each, a “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the
last
day (or if such last day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately
preceding such last day) of the calendar month immediately preceding the
month
in which the Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to the product of
the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amounts required
to be
distributed to the Holders of Certificates of the same Class as this
Certificate. The Assumed Final Distribution Date is the Distribution Date
in
June 2037.
Distributions
on this Certificate will
be made by the Securities Administrator by check mailed to the address of
the
Person entitled thereto as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register or, if such Person so requests by notifying the Securities
Administrator in writing as specified in the Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after
due
notice by the Securities Administrator of the pendency of such distribution
and
only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or
agency
appointed by the Securities Administrator for that purpose and designated
in
such notice.
No

be made to any person unless the transferee provides a certification pursuant

Mortgage Loan and (B) the remittance of all funds due under the Agreement
with
respect to the Mortgage Loans, or (ii) the optional repurchase by the Master
Servicer of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund in

be made
by the Master Servicer only if on such Distribution Date the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 10% of the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date.
The exercise of such right will effect the early retirement of the Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be entitled
to
exercise the Cleanup Call to the extent that the Depositor creates a net
interest margin transaction which includes the Class X Certificates or Class
P
Certificates and the notes issued pursuant to such net interest margin
transaction are outstanding on the date on which the Master Servicer intends
to

by
the Agreement continue beyond the earlier to occur of (i) expiration of 21

Assumed Final Distribution Date.
Unless

SECTION
4. Transfer
of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) Possession
of Mortgage Files. The Seller does hereby sell to the Purchaser, without
recourse but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of its right,
title and
interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, including the related Prepayment
Charges, the Cap Agreement and the Swap Agreement (exclusive of any upfront

on the
Closing Date). The contents of each Mortgage File not delivered to the
Purchaser
or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser on or prior
to the
Closing Date are and shall be held in trust by the Seller for the benefit
of the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser. Upon
the
sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each Mortgage Note, the related
Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage File is vested
in the
Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents with respect to
the
related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the possession of the
Seller
on or after the Closing Date shall immediately vest in the Purchaser and
shall
be delivered immediately to the Purchaser or as otherwise directed by the
Purchaser.
(b) Delivery
of Mortgage Loan Documents. Pursuant to various conveyance documents to be
executed on the Closing Date and pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Purchaser will assign on the Closing Date all of its right,
title
and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee for the benefit
of the
Certificateholders as their interests may appear. In connection with the
transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Loans, the Seller has delivered
or will
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee by the Closing Date or
such
later date as is agreed to by the Purchaser and the Seller (each of the
Closing
Date and such later date is referred to as a “Mortgage File Delivery
Date”), the documents set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto, provided,
however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Seller
may deliver the
following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (x) in lieu
of the
original Mortgage, assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments
thereof
which have been delivered, are being delivered or will upon receipt of
recording
information relating to the Mortgage required to be included thereon, be
delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned
in time
to permit their delivery as specified above, the Seller may deliver a true
copy
thereof with a certification by the Seller on the face of such copy,
substantially as follows: “Certified to be a true and correct copy of the
original, which has been transmitted for recording”; (y) in lieu of the
Mortgage, assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof,
if the
applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents or if the
originals are lost (in each case, as evidenced by a certification from
the
Seller to such effect), the Seller may deliver photocopies of such documents
containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental
authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; and (z)
in
lieu of the Mortgage Notes relating to the Mortgage Loans, each identified
in
the list delivered by the Purchaser to the Trustee on the Closing Date
and
attached hereto as Exhibit 2, the Seller may deliver lost note affidavits
and indemnities of the Seller; and provided further, however, that in the
case
of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date
and
prior to the Closing Date, the Seller, in lieu of delivering the above
documents, may deliver to the Trustee a certification by the Seller to
such
effect. The Seller shall deliver such original documents (including any
original
documents as to which certified copies had previously been delivered) or
such
certified copies to the Trustee promptly after they are received. The Seller
shall cause the Mortgage and intervening assignments, if any, and the assignment
of the Mortgage to be recorded not later than 180 days after the Closing
Date,
or, in lieu of such assignments, shall provide an Opinion of Counsel pursuant
to
Section 6 hereof to the effect that the recordation of such assignment
is not
necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan. Upon
the request of the Purchaser, the Seller will assist the Purchaser in effecting
the assignment referred to above.
(c) In
connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS®
System, the Seller further agrees that it will cause, at the Seller’s own
expense, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the MERS® System to
indicate that such Mortgage Loans have been assigned by the Seller to the
Purchaser and by the Purchaser to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement
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 (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific
Trustee and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series
of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The
Seller
further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Servicers to,
alter the
codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage Loan during
the
term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement unless and until such Mortgage
Loan
is repurchased in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
(d) Acceptance
of Mortgage Loans. The documents delivered pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof
shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee
of
the Purchaser at any time before or after the Closing Date (and with respect
to
each document permitted to be delivered after the Closing Date, within
seven (7)
days of its delivery) to ascertain that all required documents have been
executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(e) Transfer
of Interest in Agreements. The Purchaser has the right to assign its
interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to the Trustee, as
may be
required to effect the purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
without
the consent of the Seller, and the assignee shall succeed to the rights
and
obligations hereunder of the Purchaser. Any expense reasonably incurred
by or on
behalf of the Purchaser or the Trustee in connection with enforcing any
obligations of the Seller under this Agreement will be promptly reimbursed
by
the Seller.
SECTION
5. Examination
of Mortgage Files.
(a) On
or
before the Mortgage File Delivery Date, the Seller will have made the Mortgage
Files available to the Purchaser or its agent for examination which may
be at
the offices of the Trustee or the Seller and/or the Seller’s custodian. The fact
that the Purchaser or its agent has conducted or has failed to conduct
any
partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect
the
Purchaser’s rights to demand cure, repurchase, substitution or other relief as
provided in this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller
shall
make the Mortgage Files available to the Purchaser or its agent from time
to
time so as to permit the Purchaser to confirm the Seller’s compliance with the
delivery and recordation requirements of this Agreement and the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement. In addition, upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller
agrees to provide to the Purchaser, the Underwriters and to any investors
or
prospective investors in the Certificates information regarding the Mortgage
Loans (which may be at the offices of the Seller and/or the Seller’s custodian)
and to make available personnel knowledgeable about the Mortgage Loans
for
discussions with the Purchaser, the Underwriters and such investors or
prospective investors, upon reasonable request during regular business
hours,
sufficient to permit the Purchaser, the Underwriters and such investors
or
potential investors to conduct such due diligence as any such party reasonably
believes is appropriate.
(b) Pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, on the Closing Date the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, will
review
items of the Mortgage Files as set forth on Exhibit 1 and will deliver to
the Seller a certification in the form attached as Exhibit 1 to the Custodial
Agreement.
(c) Pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee or the Custodian, on
behalf
of the Trustee, will review the Mortgage Files within 180 days of the Closing
Date and will deliver to the Seller a final certification substantially
in the
form of Exhibit 2 to the Custodial Agreement. If the Custodian is unable
to
deliver a final certification with respect to the items listed in Exhibit
2 due to any document that is missing, has not been executed or is
unrelated, determined on the basis of the Mortgagor name, original principal
balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Final
Mortgage
Loan Schedule (a “Material Defect”), pursuant to Section 6 of the
Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will notify the Trustee of such Material
Defect and the Trustee shall notify the Seller of such Material Defect.
The
Seller shall correct or cure any such Material Defect within ninety (90)
days
from the date of notice from the Trustee of the Material Defect and if
the
Seller does not correct or cure such Material Defect within such period
and such
defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders
in the related Mortgage Loan, the Seller will, in accordance with the terms
of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, within ninety (90) days of the date
of
notice, provide the Trustee with a Replacement Mortgage Loan (if within
two (2)
years of the Closing Date) or purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the
applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that if such defect
relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original security
instrument or intervening assignments thereof or a certified copy because
the
originals of such documents or such certified copy have not been returned
by the
applicable jurisdiction, then the Seller shall not be required to repurchase
such Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified
copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the
Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the
event
that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted
for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction
because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that
the
Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office
or, if
such receipt is not available, a certificate of the Seller or a Servicing
Officer confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording,
and
delivery to the Trustee shall be effected by the Seller within thirty (30)
days
of its receipt of the original recorded document.
(d) At
the
time of any substitution, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered
the
Replacement Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File and any other documents
and
payments required to be delivered in connection with a substitution pursuant
to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. At the time of any purchase or
substitution, the Trustee shall (i) assign to the Seller and cause the
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to release the documents (including,
but
not limited to, the Mortgage, Mortgage Note and other contents of the Mortgage
File) in the possession of the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, relating
to
the Deleted Mortgage Loan and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments
of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary
to
vest in the Seller title to such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
SECTION
6. Recordation of Assignments of
Mortgage.
(a) The
Seller will, promptly after the Closing Date, cause each Mortgage and each
assignment of Mortgage from the Seller to the Trustee, and all unrecorded
intervening assignments, if any, delivered on or prior to the Closing Date,
to
be recorded in all recording offices in the jurisdictions where the related
Mortgaged Properties are located; provided, however, the Seller
need not cause to be recorded any assignment for which (a) the related
Mortgaged
Property is located in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced
by
an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller to the Trustee and the Rating
Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the
Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan or (b) MERS is identified on the
Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of the Mortgage as mortgagee
of
record solely as nominee for Seller and its successors and assigns;
provided, however, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of
Counsel, each assignment of Mortgage shall be submitted for recording by
the
Seller in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund or
Trustee, upon the earliest to occur of (i) reasonable direction by the
Holders
of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the Trust, (ii) the occurrence of an Event
of
Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure
relating to the Seller, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as
described
in Section 8.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (v) with respect
to
any assignment of Mortgage, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency
or
foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.
(b) While
each such Mortgage or assignment is being recorded, if necessary, the Seller
shall leave or cause to be left with the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee,
a
certified copy of such Mortgage or assignment. In the event that, within
180
days of the Closing Date, the Trustee has not been provided with an Opinion
of
Counsel as described above or received evidence of recording with respect
to
each Mortgage Loan delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof
or as
set forth above and the related Mortgage Loan is not a MOM Loan, the failure
to
provide evidence of recording or such Opinion of Counsel shall be considered
a
Material Defect, and the provisions of Section 5(c) and (d) shall apply.
All
customary recording fees and reasonable expenses relating to the recordation
of
the assignments of mortgage to the Trustee or the Opinion of Counsel, as
the
case may be, shall be borne by the Seller.

(iii) The

does not
conflict and will not conflict with, does not breach and will not result
in a

not
misleading.
(vi) The
Seller is not in violation of, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement

or
governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Seller or its assets,
which
violation might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect
the
condition (financial or otherwise) or the operation of the Seller or its

Agreement.
(viii) Immediately
prior to the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser as herein contemplated,

Loans
(except that an entity that previously financed the Seller’s ownership of the
Mortgage Loans may be entitled to a fee to release its security interest
in the
Mortgage Loans, which fee shall have been paid and which security interest
shall
have been released on or prior to the Closing Date).
(xii) There
is no litigation currently pending or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge
without independent investigation, threatened against the Seller that would

SECTION
8. Representations
and Warranties of the Seller Relating to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Seller hereby represents and
warrants to the Purchaser that as to each Mortgage Loan as of the Closing
Date:
(i) Information
provided to the Rating Agencies, including the loan level detail set forth
on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule, is true and correct according to the Rating
Agency
requirements;
(ii) No
fraud has taken place on the part of the Mortgagor or any other party involved
in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan;
(iii) The
delinquency status of each Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date, to the
extent
known by the Seller, is set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, dated June
28,
2007, prepared in connection with the offering of the Certificates. As
of the
Cut-off Date, no Monthly Payment required to be made under any Mortgage
Loan was
more than 30 days delinquent;
(iv) Neither
the Seller nor the related originator of the Mortgage Loan has advanced
any
Monthly Payment required under the terms of the Mortgage Note;
(v) There
are no delinquent taxes, assessment liens or insurance premiums affecting
the
related Mortgaged Property;
(vi) The
terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been materially impaired,
waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments,
recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to maintain
the
lien priority of the Mortgage. The substance of any such waiver, alteration
or
modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required
by
the related policy. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part,
except
in connection with an assumption agreement (approved by the title insurer
to the
extent required by the policy);
(vii) The
Mortgaged Property is insured against loss by fire and hazards of extended
coverage (excluding earthquake insurance) in an amount which is at least
equal
to the lesser of (i) the amount necessary to compensate for any damage
or loss
to the improvements which are a part of such property on a replacement
cost
basis or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan. If
the
Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a flood hazard map or flood
insurance rate map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as
having
special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available),
a
flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines
of the
Federal Insurance Administration is in effect. All such insurance policies
contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator of the Mortgage
Loan,
its successors and assigns as mortgagee and the Seller has not engaged
in any
act or omission which would impair the coverage of any such insurance policies.
Except as may be limited by applicable law, the Mortgage obligates the
Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense,
and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage
to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
(viii) Any
and all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures,
consumer
credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing, predatory, fair
lending or disclosure laws applicable to the origination and servicing
of the
Mortgage Loans, including prepayment charges, if any, have been complied
with in
all material respects, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws;
(ix) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded,
in whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed
that
would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission
or
release;
(x)
The Mortgage was recorded or was submitted for recording in accordance
with all
applicable laws and is a valid, existing and enforceable perfected first
lien on
the Mortgaged Property including all improvements on the Mortgaged Property,
subject only to (a) the lien of the current real property taxes and (b)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way and
easements;
(xi) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, insured under the related
title
policy, and enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent
that
the enforceability thereof may be limited by a bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization;
(xii) The
Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage
Note
and the Mortgage and has the full right to convey, transfer and sell the
Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
lien,
pledge, charge, claim or security interest and immediately upon the sale,
assignment and endorsement of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the
Purchaser, the Purchaser shall have good and indefeasible title to and
be the
sole legal owner of the Mortgage Loans subject only to any encumbrance,
equity,
lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest arising out of the Purchaser’s
actions;
(xiii) Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by a valid and binding American Land Title Association
lender's title insurance policy issued by a title insurer qualified to
do
business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, which
title insurance policy is generally acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx
Mac. No
claims have been filed under such lender's title insurance policy, and
the
Seller has not done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the
coverage
of the lender's title insurance policy;
(xiv) There
is no material default, breach, violation event or event of acceleration
existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with
the
passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure
period,
would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration,
and the Seller has not, nor has its predecessors, waived any material default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration;
(xv) There
are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for
work,
labor or material provided to the related Mortgaged Property prior to the
origination of the Mortgage Loan which are or may be liens prior to, or
equal or
coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage, except as may be disclosed
in
the related title policy;
(xvi) Except
with respect to approximately 8.87% of the Mortgage Loans by aggregate
principal
balance as of the Cut-off Date, which are balloon loans and approximately
44.94%
by aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date, which are interest
only
loans, each Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in
equal
monthly installments of principal and interest (subject to adjustment in
the
case of the adjustable rate Mortgage Loans), with interest calculated on
a
30/360 basis and payable in arrears, sufficient to amortize the Mortgage
Loan
fully by the stated maturity date over an original term from commencement
of
amortization to not more than forty (40) years. No Mortgage Loan
permits negative amortization;
(xvii) The
servicing practices used in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage
Loans
have been in all respects reasonable and customary in the mortgage servicing
industry of like mortgage loan servicers, servicing mortgage loans similar
to
the Mortgage Loans in the same jurisdiction as the Mortgaged
Property;
(xviii) To
the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there is no proceeding pending for the total
or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property;
(xix) The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as
a deed
of trust, by trustee's sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial
foreclosure;
(xx) The
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except
the lien
of the related Mortgage referred to in subsection (x) above;
(xxi) In
the event the Mortgage constitutes 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 the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses
are or
will become payable by the Seller to the trustee under the deed of trust,
except
in connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(xxii) The
Mortgage Loan is not subject to any valid right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury,
nor
will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage,
or
the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or
the
Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any such right
of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation
the
defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or
defense has been asserted with respect thereto;
(xxiii) The
Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and in good repair, excepting
therefrom any Mortgage Loan subject to an escrow withhold as shown on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(xxiv) All
of the improvements which were included in determining the appraised value
of
the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the Mortgaged Property's boundary

SECTION
9. Repurchase
Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation
and
Warranty.
(a) The
representations and warranties contained in Section 8 shall not be impaired
by
any review and examination of loan files or other documents evidencing
or
relating to the Mortgage Loans or any failure on the part of the Seller
or the
Purchaser to review or examine such documents and shall inure to the benefit
of
any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee
for
the benefit of the Certificateholders. With respect to the representations
and
warranties contained herein as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if
it is
discovered that the substance of any such representation and warranty was
inaccurate as of the date such representation and warranty was made or
deemed to
be made, and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value
of the
related Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the
Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee, then notwithstanding the lack of
knowledge by the Seller with respect to the substance of such representation
and
warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was
made,
the Seller shall take such action described in the following paragraph
in
respect of such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, any breach of a representation or warranty contained
in clauses (viii), (xxxviii), (xliii), and/or (xliv), of Section 8 above,
shall
be automatically deemed to affect materially and adversely the interests
of the
Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or designee.
Upon
discovery by the Seller, the
Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser of any
materially defective document in, or that any material document was not
transferred by the Seller (as listed on an exception report attached to
the
initial certification prepared by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee),
or
of a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section
8
that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage Loan or
the
interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee, transferee or
designee, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
to
the Seller. Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of
any such
missing documentation that was not transferred by the Seller as described
above,
or of materially defective documentation, or within 90 days of any such
breach
of a representation and warranty, the Seller promptly shall deliver such
missing
document or cure such defect or breach in all material respects or, in
the event
the Seller cannot deliver such missing document or cannot cure such defect
or
breach, the Seller shall, within 90 days of its discovery or receipt of
notice
of any such missing or materially defective documentation or within 90
days of
any such breach of a representation and warranty, either (i) repurchase
the
affected Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price (as such term is defined in
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or (ii) pursuant to the provisions of
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan
from
the Trust Fund and substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage
Loans. The Seller shall amend the Closing Schedule to reflect the
withdrawal of such Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller shall deliver to the
Purchaser such amended Closing Schedule and shall deliver such other documents
as are required by this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
within
five (5) days of any such amendment. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section
9(a) shall be accomplished by transfer to an account designated by the
Purchaser
of the amount of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.03 of
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase required by this Section
shall
be made in a manner consistent with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
(b) If
the
representation made by the Seller in Section 8(xlv) is breached, the Seller
shall not have the right or obligation to cure, substitute or repurchase
the
affected Mortgage Loan but shall remit to the Servicer servicing such Mortgage
Loan for deposit in the Collection Account, prior to the next succeeding
Servicer Remittance Date, the amount of the Prepayment Charge indicated
on the
applicable part of the Mortgage Loan Schedule to be due from the Mortgagor
in
the circumstances less any amount collected and remitted to such Servicer
for
deposit into the Collection Account.
(c) It
is
understood and agreed that the obligations of the Seller set forth in this
Section 9 to cure or repurchase a defective Mortgage Loan (and to make
payments
pursuant to Section 9(b)) constitute the sole remedies of the Purchaser
against
the Seller respecting a missing document or a breach of the representations
and
warranties contained in Section 8.

they are

(b) The
Purchaser shall have received, or the attorneys of the Purchaser shall

terms thereof;
(c) The
Seller shall have delivered or caused to be delivered and released to the

the
Mortgage Loans) required to be so delivered by the Purchaser pursuant to
Section
2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and
(d) All
other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement shall have been complied with.

Closing Date, against delivery and release by the Seller to the Trustee
of all
documents required pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
consideration for the Mortgage Loans as specified in Section 3 of this
Agreement.
SECTION
11. Closing Documents.
Without limiting the generality of Section 10 hereof, the closing shall
be
subject to delivery of each of the following documents:
(a) An
Officers’ Certificate of the Seller, dated the Closing Date, upon which the
Purchaser and the Underwriters may rely with respect to certain facts regarding
the sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser;
(b) An
Opinion of Counsel of the Seller, dated the Closing Date and addressed
to the
Purchaser and the Underwriters;

or

further information, certificates, opinions and documents as the Purchaser
or
the Underwriters may reasonably request.
SECTION
12. Costs. The
Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Purchaser or any other Person
to the
extent that the Purchaser or such other Person shall pay) all costs and
expenses
incurred in connection with the transfer and delivery of the Mortgage Loans,
including without limitation, fees for title policy endorsements and
continuations, the fees and expenses of the Seller’s accountants and attorneys,
the costs and expenses incurred in connection with producing a Servicer’s loan
loss, foreclosure and delinquency experience, and the costs and expenses
incurred in connection with obtaining the documents referred to in Sections
11(b) and 11(c), the costs and expenses of printing (or otherwise reproducing)

SECTION
13. Mandatory Delivery; Grant

Mortgage Loans described on the Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with
the
terms and conditions of this Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically
understood and agreed that each Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable
on the
date hereof and that an award of money damages would be insufficient to
compensate the Purchaser for the losses and damages incurred by the Purchaser
in
the event of the Seller’s failure to deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the
Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a
continuing security interest in the Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and

the
performance by the Seller of its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees
that it holds such Mortgage Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject

the extent permitted by this Agreement and (ii) obligation to deliver or
cause
to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
3
hereof. Any Mortgage Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently
therewith be released from the security interest created hereby. All rights
and
remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from, and cumulative
with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or afforded by
law or
equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised concurrently,
independently or successively.

the foregoing, if on
the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth in Section 10 hereof
shall
have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to
be paid
the Purchase Price, or any such condition shall not have been waived or
satisfied and the Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the
Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall immediately effect the redelivery of
the
Mortgage Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has occurred, and the security
interest created by this Section 13 shall be deemed to have been
released.
SECTION
14. Notices. All
demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be
deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by
registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by fax and, receipt of
which is
confirmed by telephone, if to the Purchaser, addressed to the Purchaser
at Two

other
address as the Seller may designate in writing to the Purchaser.
SECTION
15. Severability of
Provisions. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this
Agreement that is prohibited or that is held to be void or unenforceable
shall
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision,
representation or warranty of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable
or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof,
and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage
Loan
shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto
waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable
any
provision hereof.
SECTION
16. Agreement of
Parties. The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and
deliver such instruments and take such actions as either of the others
may, from
time to time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and
to carry
out the terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
SECTION
17. Survival. The
Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made
by it
herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto
shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf,
and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller
herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall survive the
delivery
of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force
and
effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the
Mortgage
Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the
Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.
SECTION
18. GOVERNING
LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (EXCLUDING THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS
OF
SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL
GOVERN.
SECTION
19. Miscellaneous.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which
when
so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together
shall
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements
and
understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement
nor
any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally,
but
only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement
of
the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in
this
Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning hereof.
It
is the express intent of the parties
hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser
as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the
Mortgage
Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage
Loans
by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of
the
Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned
intent of
the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller,
then (a)
it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed
a pledge
of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or
other
obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed
to be a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security
interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account
whether
in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related
Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments,
money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be “possession by the
secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to
Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (4) notifications
to
persons holding such property and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from persons holding such property shall be deemed notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries,
bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting
such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest
of
the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be
an
assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and the
Purchaser
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions
as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed
to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and
will be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling
and
Servicing Agreement.

___________________________
being duly sworn, deposes, represents and warrants as follows:
|
1.
|
I
am a _____________________ of _______________________________ (the
“Investor”) a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of
_________________________, the record owner of Nomura Asset Acceptance
Corporation, Alternative Loan Trust, Series 2007-2 Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Class R[-X] Certificates (the “Class R[-X] Certificates”),
on behalf of whom I make this affidavit and agreement. Capitalized
terms
used but not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned
thereto
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the Class
R[-X]
Certificates were issued.
|
|
2.
|
The
Investor (i) is and will be a “Permitted Transferee” as of
____________________. ____ and (ii) is acquiring the Class R[-X]
Certificates for its own account or for the account of another
Investor
from which it has received an affidavit in substantially the same
form as
this affidavit. A “Permitted Transferee” is any person other than a
“disqualified organization” or a possession of the United
States. For this purpose, a “disqualified organization” means
the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof,
any agency
or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality
all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for
the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board
of
directors is not selected by any such governmental entity) or any
foreign
government, international organization or any agency or instrumentality
of
such foreign government or organization, any real electric or telephone
cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers’
cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal income tax
unless such
organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable
income.
|
|
3.
|
The
Investor is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers
of the
Class R[-X] Certificates to disqualified organizations under the
Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all transfers of the Class
R[-X]
Certificates after July 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on
the
transferor or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person
includes
a broker, nominee or middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee,
on the
agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall
be
relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to
such
person an affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted Transferee
and, at
the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge
that the
affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the Class R[-X] Certificates
may
be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of
proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under 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 is to impede the assessment
or
collection of tax.
|
|
4.
|
The
Investor is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding
the Class R[-X] Certificates if, at any time during the taxable
year of
the pass-through entity, a non-Permitted Transferee is the record
holder
of an interest in such entity. (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.)
|
|
5.
|
The
Investor is aware that the Securities Administrator will not register
the
transfer of any Class R[-X] Certificate unless the transferee,
or the
transferee’s agent, delivers to the Securities Administrator, among other
things, an affidavit in substantially the same form as this affidavit.
The
Investor expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such
transfer if
it knows or believes that any of the representations contained
in such
affidavit and agreement are false.
|
|
6.
|
The
Investor consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements
that
shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a
reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R[-X] Certificates
will
only be owned, directly or indirectly, by an Investor that is a
Permitted
Transferee.
|
|
7.
|
The
Investor’s taxpayer identification number is
________________.
|
|
8.
|
The
Investor has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of
the Class
R[-X] Certificates and the provisions of Section 6.02(c) of the
Pooling
and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R[-X] Certificates
were
issued (in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section
6.02(d)
which authorize the Securities Administrator to deliver payments
to a
person other than the Investor and negotiate a mandatory sale by
the
Securities Administrator in the event that the Investor holds such
Certificate in violation of Section 6.02(c)); and that the Investor
expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions
and
provisions.
|
|
9.
|
The
Investor is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class R[-X]
Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of
any
tax.
|
|
10.
|
The
Investor anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Class
R[-X]
Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the
holder
of such Class R[-X] Certificates, and hereby represents to and
for the
benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R[-X] Certificates
that the Investor intends to pay taxes associated with holding
such Class
R[-X] Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that
it may
incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by
the Class
R[-X] Certificates.
|
|
11.
|
The
Investor has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent
or subject
to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the Class R[-X]
Certificates.
|
|
12.
|
The
Investor has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be
unable to
pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Certificates
remain outstanding.
|
|
13.
|
The
Investor is not acquiring the Class R[-X] Certificates with the
intent to
transfer the Class R[-X] Certificates to any person or entity that
will
not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder
of such
Class R[-X] Certificates, or that may become insolvent or subject
to a
bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as the Class R[-X] Certificates
remain
outstanding.
|
|
14.
|
The
Investor will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of
the Class
R[-X] Certificates, obtain from its transferee the representations
required by Section 6.02(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
under
which the Class Class R[-X] Certificate were issued and will not
consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should
lead
it to believe, that any such representations are
false.
|
|
15.
|
The
Investor will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of
the Class
R[-X] Certificates, deliver to the Securities Administrator an
affidavit,
which represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Class
R[-X]
Certificates to impede the assessment or collection of any tax
and that it
has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient
assets to pay any taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the
Class
R[-X] Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
proceeding for so long as the Class R[-X] Certificates remains
outstanding; and (iii) is not a “Permitted
Transferee”.
|
|
16.
|
The
Investor is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation,
partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of,
the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate
or
trust whose income from sources without the United States may be
included
in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless
of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within
the
United States.
|
|
17.
|
The
Investor of the Class R[-X] Certificate, hereby agrees that in
the event
that the Trust Fund created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
is
terminated pursuant to Section 10.01 thereof, the undersigned shall
assign
and transfer to the Holders of the Class X and the Class P Certificates
any amounts in excess of par received in connection with such termination.
Accordingly, in the event of such termination, the Securities
Administrator is hereby authorized to withhold any such amounts
in excess
of par and to pay such amounts directly to the Holders of the Class
X and
the Class P Certificates. This agreement shall bind and be enforceable
against any successor, transferee or assigned of the undersigned
in the
Class R[-X] Certificate. In connection with any transfer of the
Class
R[-X] Certificate, the Investor shall obtain an agreement substantially
similar to this clause from any subsequent
owner.

1. I

of _________________________ (the “Investor”), a corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of _____________, on behalf of whom I make this
affidavit.
2. The
Investor is not transferring the Class R[-X] Certificates (the “Residual
Certificates”) to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
3. The
Investor has no actual knowledge that the Person that is the proposed transferee
(the “Purchaser”) of the Residual Certificates: (i) has insufficient
assets to pay any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as holder of the
Residual Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
proceeding for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding and
(iii)
is not a Permitted Transferee.
4. The
Investor understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Securities
Administrator a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to
the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D. The Investor does not know
or
believe that any representation contained therein is false.
5. At
the time of transfer, the Investor has conducted a reasonable investigation
of
the financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Investor
has determined that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they
became
due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser
will
not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Investor
understands that the transfer of a Residual Certificate may not be respected
for
United States income tax purposes (and the Investor may continue to be liable
for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Investor
has
conducted such an investigation.

Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-2 (the “Certificates”), including
the Class [X][P][R][-X] Certificates (the “Private
Certificates”)

Dear
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In
connection with our purchase of Private Certificates, we confirm
that:
(i)
|
we
understand that the Private Certificates are not being registered
under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or any applicable state
securities or “Blue Sky” laws, and are being sold to us in a transaction
that is exempt from the registration requirements of such
laws;
|
|
(ii)
|
any
information we desired concerning the Certificates, including the
Private
Certificates, the trust in which the Certificates represent the
entire
beneficial ownership interest (the “Trust”) or any other matter we deemed
relevant to our decision to purchase Private Certificates has been
made
available to us;
|
|
(iii)
|
we
are able to bear the economic risk of investment in Private Certificates;
we are an institutional “accredited investor” as defined in Section 501(a)
of Regulation D promulgated under the Act and a sophisticated
institutional investor and we agree to obtain a representation
from any
transferee that such transferee is an institutional “accredited investor”
so long as we are required to obtain a representation letter regarding
compliance with the Act;
|
|
(iv)
|
we
are acquiring Private Certificates for our own account, not as
nominee for
any other person, and not with a present view to any distribution
or other
disposition of the Private Certificates;
|
|
(v)
|
we
agree the Private Certificates must be held indefinitely by us
(and may
not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or in any way disposed of) unless
subsequently registered under the Act and any applicable state
securities
or “Blue Sky” laws or an exemption from the registration requirements of
the Act and any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws is
available;
|
|
(vi)
|
we
agree that in the event that at some future time we wish to dispose
of or
exchange any of the Private Certificates (such disposition or exchange
not
being currently foreseen or contemplated), we will not transfer
or
exchange any of the Private Certificates unless:
|
|
(A)
(1) the sale is to an Eligible Purchaser (as defined below), (2)
if
required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below)
a
letter to substantially the same effect as either this letter or,
if the
Eligible Purchaser is a Qualified Institutional Buyer as defined
under
Rule 144A of the Act, the Rule 144A and Related Matters Certificate
in the
form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined
below)
(or such other documentation as may be acceptable to the Securities
Administrator) is executed promptly by the purchaser and delivered
to the
addressees hereof and (3) all offers or solicitations in connection
with
the sale, whether directly or through any agent acting on our behalf,
are
limited only to Eligible Purchasers and are not made by means of
any form
of general solicitation or general advertising whatsoever;
and
|
||
(B)
if the Private Certificate is not registered under the Act (as
to which we
acknowledge you have no obligation), the Private Certificate is
sold in a
transaction that does not require registration under the Act and
any
applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and, if the Securities
Administrator or HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee
(the
“Trustee”) so requests, a satisfactory Opinion of Counsel is furnished to
such effect, which Opinion of Counsel shall be an expense of the
transferor or the transferee;
|
||
(vii)
|
we
agree to be bound by all of the terms (including those relating
to
restrictions on transfer) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
pursuant
to which the Trust was formed; we have reviewed carefully and understand
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;
|
|
(viii)
|
we
either: (i) are not acquiring the Private Certificate directly
or
indirectly by, or on behalf of, an employee benefit plan or other
retirement arrangement which is subject to Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and/or Section
4975 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (ii) are providing
the
opinion of counsel specified in Section 6.02(b) of the
Agreement.
|
|
(ix)
|
we
understand that each of the Class [X][P]R[-X] Certificates bears,
and will
continue to bear, legends substantially to the following effect:
“THIS
CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING THIS CERTIFICATE,
AGREES
THAT THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE REOFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE

Standard
&
Poor’s
has categorized
loans governed by anti-predatory lending laws in the Jurisdictions listed
below
into three categories based upon a combination of factors that include (a)
the
risk exposure associated with the assignee liability and (b) the tests and
thresholds set forth in those laws. Note that certain loans classified by
the
relevant statute as Covered are included in Standard & Poor’s High Cost Loan
Category because they included thresholds and tests that are typical of what
is
generally considered High Cost by the industry.

report on assessment of the Servicer’s compliance with the servicing criteria
set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB (the “Servicing Criteria”), provided

the Servicer has fulfilled its obligations under the Agreement in all material
respects; and

|
“Settlement
Amount” means, with respect to any Early Termination Date, an
amount (as determined by Party B) equal to:

is
accepted by Party B so as to become legally binding, the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the amount (whether positive or negative)
of such
Market Quotation;
|
|
(b)
|
if,
on such Early Termination Date, no Market Quotation for the relevant
Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions has
been
accepted by Party B so as to become legally binding and one or
more Market
Quotations from Approved Replacements have been communicated
to Party B
and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance
by Party B,
the Termination Currency Equivalent of the amount (whether positive
or
negative) of the lowest of such Market Quotations (for the avoidance
of
doubt, (I) a Market Quotation expressed as a negative number
is lower than
a Market Quotation expressed as a positive number and (II) the
lower of
two Market Quotations expressed as negative numbers is the one
with the
largest absolute value); or
|
|
(c)
|
if,
on such Early Termination Date, no Market Quotation for the relevant
Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions is
accepted by
Party B so as to become legally binding and no Market Quotation
from an
Approved Replacement has been communicated to Party B and remains
capable
of becoming legally binding upon acceptance by Party B, Party
B’s Loss
(whether positive or negative and without reference to any Unpaid
Amounts)
for the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions.”

|
(C)
|

Party B requests Party A in writing to obtain Market Quotations,
Party A
shall use its reasonable efforts to do so before the Early Termination
Date.
|
|
(D)
|
If
the Settlement Amount is a negative number, Section 6(e)(i)(3)
shall be

following:
|
“(3)
Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and Market
Quotation apply, (I) Party B shall pay to Party A an amount equal to the
absolute value of the Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated
Transactions, (II) Party B shall pay to Party A the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Party A and (III) Party A shall
pay to
Party B the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing
to Party
B; provided, however, that (x) the amounts payable under the immediately
preceding clauses (II) and (III) shall be subject to netting in accordance
with
Section 2(c) of this Agreement and (y) notwithstanding any other provision
of
this Agreement, any amount payable by Party A under the immediately preceding
clause (III) shall not be netted against any amount payable by Party B
under the
immediately preceding clause (I).”
(E)
|
At
any time on or before the Early Termination Date at which two
or more
Market Quotations from Approved Replacements have been communicated
to
Party B and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance
by
Party B, Party B shall be entitled to accept only the lowest
of such
Market Quotations (for the avoidance of doubt, (I) a Market Quotation
expressed as a negative number is lower than a Market Quotation
expressed
as a positive number and (II) the lower of two Market Quotations
expressed
as negative numbers is the one with the largest absolute
value).
|
(F)
|
In
determining whether or not a Firm Offer satisfies clause (B)(y)
of the
definition of Replacement Transaction and whether or not a transfer
satisfies clause (e)(B)(y) of the definition of Permitted Transfer,

manner.

Transfers.
|
(i) Section
7 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to S&P except

|
Party

or the
item 1115 Agreement, (2) pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation
with,
or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all
its assets
to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right
or remedy
under this Agreement), or (3) at any time at which no Relevant
Entity has
credit ratings at least equal to the Approved Ratings
Threshold;
|
|
(b)
|
Party
B may transfer its rights and obligations hereunder in connection
with a
transfer pursuant to Section 8.09 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement,
and
|
|
(c)
|
a
party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest
in any
amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section
6(e).
|
Any
purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be
void.
|
(ii)
|
If
an Eligible Replacement has made a Firm Offer (which remains
an offer that
will become legally binding upon acceptance by Party B) to be
the
transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, Party B shall, at
Party A’s
written request and at Party A’s expense, take any reasonable steps
required to be taken by Party B to effect such
transfer.
|
(g)
|
Non-Recourse. Party
A acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any provision
in this
Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of Party B hereunder
are
limited recourse obligations of Party B, payable solely from
the
Supplemental Interest Trust and the proceeds thereof, and that
Party A
will not have any recourse to any of the directors, officers,
agents,
employees, shareholders or affiliates of the Party B with respect
to any
claims, losses, damages, liabilities, indemnities or other obligations
in
connection with any transactions contemplated hereby. In the
event that
the Supplemental Interest Trust and the proceeds thereof, should
be
insufficient to satisfy all claims outstanding and following
the
realization of the account held by the Supplemental Interest
Trust and the
proceeds thereof, any claims against or obligations of Party
B under the
ISDA Master Agreement or any other confirmation thereunder still
outstanding shall be extinguished and thereafter not
revive. This provision will survive the termination of this
Agreement.

|
Rating
Agency Notifications. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no Early Termination Date shall

effectively designated hereunder by Party B and no transfer of
any rights
or obligations under this Agreement shall be made by either party

designation or transfer.
|

|
No
Set-off. Except as expressly provided for in Section
2(c), Section 6 or Part 1(f)(i)(D) hereof, and notwithstanding
any other
provision of this Agreement or any other existing or future agreement,
each party irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have
to set off,
net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend or condition payment
or
performance of any obligation between it and the other party
hereunder
against any obligation between it and the other party under any
other
agreements. Section 6(e) shall be amended by deleting the
following sentence: “The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early
Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will
be subject
to any Set-off.”.
|
(k)
|

of the
powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the terms
of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (b) HSBC has been directed pursuant
to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to enter into this Agreement
and to
perform its obligations hereunder; (c) each of the representations,

intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements
of
HSBC but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only
the

be
construed as creating any liability on the part of HSBC, individually

contained herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly
waived by
the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or
under the
parties hereto; and (e) under no circumstances shall HSBC be

(o)
|
Severability. If
any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement,

application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be held
to be
invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part) in any respect,
the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof
shall
continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been
executed
with the invalid or unenforceable portion eliminated, so long
as this
Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material
change,
the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter
of this
Agreement and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement
will not
substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations
of the
parties; provided, however, that this severability provision
shall not be
applicable if any provision of Section 2, 5, 6, or 13 (or any
definition
or provision in Section 14 to the extent it relates to, or is
used in or
in connection with any such Section) shall be so held to be invalid
or
unenforceable.
|
The
parties shall endeavor to engage in good faith negotiations to replace
any
invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition with a
valid or
enforceable term, provision, covenant or condition, the economic effect
of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable term,
provision, covenant or condition.

or more Market

to Party B
and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance
by Party B,
the Termination Currency Equivalent of the amount (whether

doubt, (I) a Market Quotation expressed as a negative number
is lower than
a Market Quotation expressed as a positive number and (II)
the lower of
two Market Quotations expressed as negative numbers is the
one with the
largest absolute value); or

if,

the

Transactions, (II) Party B shall pay to Party A the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Party A and (III) Party A shall

Section 2(c) of this Agreement and (y) notwithstanding any other provision
of
this Agreement, any amount payable by Party A under the immediately preceding
clause (III) shall not be netted against any amount payable by Party
B under the
immediately preceding clause (I).”
(E)
|
At
any time on or before the Early Termination Date at which two
or more
Market Quotations from Approved Replacements have been communicated
to
Party B and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon
acceptance by
Party B, Party B shall be entitled to accept only the lowest
of such
Market Quotations (for the avoidance of doubt, (I) a Market
Quotation
expressed as a negative number is lower than a Market Quotation
expressed
as a positive number and (II) the lower of two Market Quotations
expressed
as negative numbers is the one with the largest absolute
value).

Agreement
that is entered into solely for the purpose of appointing a
successor
servicer, master servicer, securities administrator, trustee

as Unpaid
Amounts in determining the amount payable in respect of such
Early

in Section
6(d)(i), (I) if, no later than 4:00 pm New York City time on

contrary in
this Agreement, any amount due from Party B to Party A in respect
of this
Additional Termination Event will be payable on the final Distribution
Date specified in the Optional Termination Notice and any
amount due from Party A to Party B in respect of this Additional
Termination Event will be payable one Business Day prior to

“Neither
this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement
may be
transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party
unless (a)
the prior written consent of the other party is obtained and (b) the
Rating
Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to S&P, except

or the
item 1115 Agreement, (2) pursuant to a consolidation or amalgamation

or remedy
under this Agreement), or (3) at any time at which no Relevant
Entity has
credit ratings at least equal to the Approved Ratings
Threshold;
|
|
(b)
|
Party
B may transfer its rights and obligations hereunder in connection
with a
transfer pursuant to Section 8.09 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement,
and
|
|

of the
directors, officers, agents, employees, shareholders or affiliates
of the
Party B with respect to any claims, losses, damages, liabilities,

Trust and
the proceeds thereof, should be insufficient to satisfy all
claims
outstanding and following the realization of the account held
by the
Supplemental Interest Trust and the proceeds thereof, any claims
against
or obligations of Party B under the ISDA Master Agreement or
any other
confirmation thereunder still outstanding shall be extinguished

agreement,
each party irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have
to set off,
net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend or condition payment

against any obligation between it and the other party under
any other
agreements. Section 6(e) shall be amended by deleting the
following sentence: “The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early
Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will
be subject
to any Set-off.”.

is satisfied
with respect to S&P.
|
(l)
|
Notice
of Certain Events or Circumstances. Each Party agrees,
upon learning of the occurrence or existence of any event or
condition
that constitutes (or that with the giving of notice or passage
of time or
both would constitute) an Event of Default or Termination Event
with
respect to such party, promptly to give the other Party and
to each Rating
Agency notice of such event or condition; provided that failure
to provide
notice of such event or condition pursuant to this Part 5(l)
shall not
constitute an Event of Default or a Termination
Event.
|
(m)
|
Proceedings. No
Relevant Entity shall institute against, or cause any other
person to
institute against, or join any other person in instituting
against Party
B, the Supplemental Interest Trust, or the trust formed pursuant

been executed
with the invalid or unenforceable portion eliminated, so long
as this
Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material
change,
the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter
of this
Agreement and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement
will not
substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations
of the
parties; provided, however, that this severability provision
shall not be
applicable if any provision of Section 2, 5, 6, or 13 (or any
definition
or provision in Section 14 to the extent it relates to, or
is used in or
in connection with any such Section) shall be so held to be
invalid or
unenforceable.
|
The
parties shall endeavor to engage in good faith negotiations to replace
any
invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition with
a valid or
enforceable term, provision, covenant or condition, the economic effect
of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable term,
provision, covenant or condition.
