This

FARGO BANK, N.A., as master servicer and trust administrator (the “Master
Servicer” and “Trust Administrator”) and DEUTSCHE BANK NATIONAL TRUST COMPANY,
as trustee (the “Trustee”).
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENT:
The
Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates (collectively, the
“Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the
aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust
Fund created hereunder. The Certificates will consist of twenty-one classes
of
certificates, designated as (i) the Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) the Class
A-2
Certificates, (iii) the Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) the Class A-4 Certificates,
(v) the Class M-1 Certificates, (vi) the Class M-2 Certificates, (vii) the
Class
M-3 Certificates, (viii) the Class M-4 Certificates, (ix) the Class M-5
Certificates, (x) the Class M-6 Certificates, (xi) the Class M-7 Certificates,
(xii) the Class M-8 Certificates, (xiii) the Class M-9 Certificates, (xiv)
the
Class M-10 Certificates, (xv) the Class C Certificates, (xvi) the Class P
Certificates, (xvii) the Class R Certificates and (xviii) the Class R-X
Certificates.
REMIC
1
As
provided herein, the Trustee shall elect to treat the segregated pool of assets
consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related assets subject to
this Agreement (exclusive of the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, the
Basis Risk Cap Agreement, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Cap Account,
the
Cap Allocation Agreement, any Servicer Prepayment Charge Payment Amounts, the
Swap Account, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement) as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes, and such segregated
pool
of assets shall be designated as “REMIC 1.” The Class R-1 Interest shall
represent the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC 1 for purposes of the
REMIC Provisions (as defined herein). The following table irrevocably sets
forth
the designation, the Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rate, the initial
Uncertificated Principal Balance and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for
each of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests (as defined herein). None of the REMIC
1
Regular Interests shall be certificated.

Interest shall equal the amount set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto
as
its initial Uncertificated Principal Balance. On each Distribution Date,
the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC Regular Interest shall be
reduced
by all distributions of principal made on such REMIC Regular Interest on
such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.08 and, if and to the extent necessary
and appropriate, shall be further reduced on such Distribution Date by Realized
Losses as provided in Section 4.08, and the Uncertificated Principal Balance
of
REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTZZ shall be increased by interest deferrals as
provided in Section 4.08. With respect to the Class C Interest as of any

Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC 2 Regular Interests over (B)
the
then aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificates,
the
Mezzanine Certificates and the Class P Certificates then outstanding. The
Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC Regular Interest that has
an
Uncertificated Principal Balance shall never be less than zero.
“Uncertificated
REMIC Pass-Through Rate”: The Uncertificated REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rate or the
Uncertificated REMIC 2 Pass-Through Rate, as applicable.
“Uncertificated
REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rate”: With respect to REMIC 1 Regular Interest I and REMIC
1 Regular Interest P, a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of the

The
Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the Trustee without
recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title and
interest of the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the
benefit of the Depositor, in and to (i) each Mortgage Loan identified on
the
Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the related Cut-off Date Principal Balance,
all interest accruing thereon on and after the Cut-off Date and all collections

In

the following documents or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan
so
transferred and assigned (with respect to each Mortgage Loan, a “Mortgage
File”):
(i) the
original Mortgage Note including any riders thereto, endorsed either (A)
in
blank, in which case the Trustee shall cause the endorsement to be completed
or
(B) in the following form: “Pay to the order of Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as Trustee, without recourse” or with respect to any lost Mortgage
Note, an original Lost Note Affidavit stating that the original mortgage
note
was lost, misplaced or destroyed, together with a copy of the related mortgage
note; provided, however, that such substitutions of Lost Note Affidavits

original Mortgage Notes may occur only with respect to Mortgage Loans, the
aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of which is less than or equal to
1.00%
of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date;
(ii) the
original Mortgage (noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage Loan and
language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage
Loan is

power

with
evidence of recording thereon or, if such Mortgage or power of attorney has
been
submitted for recording but has not been returned from the applicable public
recording office, has been lost or is not otherwise available, a copy of
such
Mortgage or power of attorney, as the case may be, certified to be a true
and
complete copy of the original submitted for recording;
(iii) unless
the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System, an original Assignment, in
form and substance acceptable for recording. The Mortgage shall be assigned
either (A) in blank or (B) to “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee,
without recourse”;
(iv) an
original of any intervening assignment of Mortgage showing a complete chain
of
assignments (or to MERS if the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System
and noting the presence of MIN);
(v) the
original or a certified copy of lender’s title insurance policy;
(vi) the
original PMI Policy; and
(vii) the
original or copies of each assumption, modification, written assurance or

If
any of
the documents referred to in Section 2.01(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has as
of the
Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been returned
from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost or such
public
recording office has retained the original of such document, the obligations
of
the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon
(1)
delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) no later
than the Closing Date, of a copy of each such document certified by the
Originator in the case of (x) above or the applicable public recording office
in
the case of (y) above to be a true and complete copy of the original that
was
submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is certified by the Originator,
delivery to the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly
upon receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified
by the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy
of the
original. If the original lender’s title insurance policy, or a certified copy
thereof, was not delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(v) above, the Depositor
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee), the original or a copy of a written commitment or
interim binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance
or
escrow company, with the original or a certified copy thereof to be delivered
to
the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), promptly upon receipt
thereof. The Servicer or the Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to
the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt
thereof any other documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received
with
respect to any Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original
documents evidencing an assumption or modification of any Mortgage
Loan.
Upon
discovery or receipt of notice of any materially defective document in, or
that
a document is missing from, a Mortgage File, the Trustee (or the Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee) shall enforce the obligations of the Originator under
the
Master Agreement to cure such defect or deliver such missing document to
the
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within 90 days. If the
Originator does not cure such defect or deliver such missing document within
such time period, the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
enforce the obligations of the Originator to either repurchase or substitute
for
such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 2.03; provided, however, that
the
Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action pursuant to
this
paragraph unless directed by the Depositor and provided, further, the Depositor
hereby agrees to assist the Trustee in enforcing any obligations of the
Originator to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan which has breached
a
representation or warranty under the Assignment Agreement. In connection
with
the foregoing, it is understood that the Trustee shall have no duty to discover
any such defects except in the course of performing its review of the Mortgage
Files to the extent set forth herein.
Except
with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage,
the Trustee (upon receipt of notice from the Custodian) shall enforce the
obligations of the Originator under the Master Agreement to cause the
Assignments which were delivered in blank to be completed and to record all
Assignments referred to in Section 2.01(iii) hereof and, to the extent
necessary, in Section 2.01(iv) hereof. The Trustee shall enforce the obligations
of the Originator under the Master Agreement to deliver such assignments
for
recording within 180 days of the Closing Date. In the event that any such
Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the
Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Originator under the Master
Agreement to promptly have a substitute Assignment prepared or have such
defect
cured, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be
duly
recorded.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for administrative convenience and facilitation of servicing
and
to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall not be required to be submitted
for recording (except with respect to any Mortgage Loan located in Maryland)
unless the Trustee and the Depositor receive notice that such failure to
record
would result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the
rating
on any Class of Certificates; provided, however, each Assignment, except
with
respect to any Mortgage Loan for which MERS is identified on the Mortgage,
shall
be submitted for recording 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 entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights,
(ii) the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, (iii) the occurrence
of
a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (iv) the
occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 hereof, (v)
upon
receipt of notice from the Servicer, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency
or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage, (vi)
upon
receipt of notice from the Servicer, any Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or
more
Delinquent and (vii) reasonable direction by the NIMS Insurer. In the event
of
(i) through (vii) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee
shall enforce the obligations of the Originator to deliver such Assignments
for
recording as provided above, promptly and in any event within 30 days following
receipt of notice by the Originator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Originator fails to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense
will
be paid by the Trustee and the Trustee shall be reimbursed for such expenses
by
the Trust. In the event an Assignment is not recorded, neither the Trustee
nor
the Servicer will have any liability for its failure to act on notices that
were
not received and would have been had such Assignment been recorded, except,
in
the case of the Trustee, with respect to Mortgage Loans that are subject
to
provisions (i) through (vi) set forth in this paragraph, if the Trustee shall
have failed to timely request the Originator to cause such Assignments to
be
recorded.
The
Servicer shall forward to the Custodian original documents evidencing an
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan
entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two weeks of their
execution; provided, however, that the Servicer shall provide the Custodian
with
a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation within
two
weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any document submitted
for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the appropriate public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original within 365
days
of its submission for recordation. In the event that the Servicer cannot
provide
a copy of such document certified by the public recording office within such
365
day period, the Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian, within such 365
day
period, an Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer which shall (A) identify the
recorded document, (B) state that the recorded document has not been delivered
to the Custodian due solely to a delay caused by the public recording office,
(C) state the amount of time generally required by the applicable recording
office to record and return a document submitted for recordation, if known
and
(D) specify the date the applicable recorded document is expected to be
delivered to the Custodian, and, upon receipt of a copy of such document
certified by the public recording office, the Servicer shall immediately
deliver
such document to the Custodian. In the event the appropriate public recording
office will not certify as to the accuracy of such document, the Servicer
shall
deliver a copy of such document certified by an officer of the Servicer to
be a
true and complete copy of the original to the Custodian. The Depositor shall
deliver or cause the Seller to deliver to the Servicer copies of all trailing
documents required to be included in the servicing file at the same time
the
originals or certified copies thereof are delivered to the Trustee or Custodian,
such documents including but not limited to the mortgagee policy of title
insurance and any mortgage loan documents upon return from the recording
office.
The Servicer shall not be responsible for any custodian fees or other costs
incurring in obtaining such documents and the Depositor shall cause the Servicer
to be reimbursed for any such costs it may incur in connection with performing
its obligations under this Agreement
The
parties hereto understand and agree that it is not intended that any Mortgage
Loan be included in the Trust that is a “High-Cost Home Loan” as defined by the
Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or any other applicable
predatory or abusive lending laws.
| SECTION 2.02 |
Acceptance
by Trustee.
|
Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the review described below
and
any exceptions noted on the exception report described in the next paragraph
below, the Trustee acknowledges receipt (or receipt by the Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee) of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all
other
assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it holds and
will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting
a
Mortgage File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other
assets included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The
Trustee agrees to execute and deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer on
or
prior to the Closing Date an acknowledgment of receipt of the related original
Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan (with any exceptions noted), substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit F-3 hereto.
The
Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) agrees, for the benefit
of
the Certificateholders, to review, or that it has reviewed pursuant to Section
2.01 (or to cause the Custodian to review or that it has caused the Custodian
to
have reviewed) each Mortgage File on or prior to the Closing Date, with respect
to each Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any document delivered after the
Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan, within 45 days after the assignment thereof). The
Trustee further agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to certify
to
the Depositor and the Servicer (with a copy to the NIMS Insurer) in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, within 45 days after
the
Closing Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any
document delivered after the Startup Day, within 45 days of receipt and with
respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within 45 days after the
assignment thereof) that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage
Loan
Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan
specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being
covered by such certification), (i) all documents required to be delivered
to it
pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in its possession, (ii) such
documents have been reviewed by it and have not been mutilated, damaged or
torn
and appear on their face to relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based
on its
examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (1) and (3) of the Mortgage
Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File.
It
is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee (or the
Custodian, as applicable) is under no duty or obligation to inspect, review
or
examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to
determine that they are genuine, legally enforceable, valid or binding or
appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded
or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
Prior
to
the first anniversary date of this Agreement the Trustee shall deliver (or
cause
the Custodian to deliver) to the Depositor the Trustee, the Servicer and
the
Master Servicer (with a copy to the NIMS Insurer) a final certification in
the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2 (or, in the case of the Custodian, Exhibit
2
to the Custodial Agreement), with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
If
in the
process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making or preparing, as the case
may
be, the certifications referred to above, the Trustee (or the Custodian,
as
applicable) finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage
File to be missing or not to conform with respect to any characteristics
which
are within the scope of the Trustee’s (or the Custodian’s, as applicable) review
as provided herein, at the conclusion of its review, the Trustee (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) shall so notify the Seller, the Depositor,
the Originator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the NIMS Insurer and the Master
Servicer. In addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor or the Servicer
or
the Master Servicer (or upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification
of
such breach) of a breach of any of the representations and warranties made
by
the Originator in the Master Agreement or the Seller in the Assignment Agreement
in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage
Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the
party
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties
to
this Agreement and the NIMS Insurer.
The
Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein
contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage
Notes
and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of
any
liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be part of the
Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency
by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to
be
made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall
be
deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority
perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest
in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related
documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under
applicable law.
The
Trustee is hereby authorized and directed by the Depositor to execute and
deliver the Transaction Addendum Soundview 2006-EQ2 to the Master Consulting
Agreement with the Credit Risk Manager.
| SECTION 2.03 |
Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Originator or the
Seller.
|
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of written notice from the Custodian of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File
or of
the breach by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, of any
representation, warranty or covenant under the Master Agreement or the
Assignment Agreement, as applicable, in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest
therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall request that the Originator
deliver such missing document or that the Originator or the Seller cure such
defect or breach within 90 days from the date the Originator or the Seller
was
notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the Originator
or
the Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or
breach
in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce (in
the
manner set forth in Section 2.01) the Originator’s obligation under the Master
Agreement or the Assignment Agreement or the Seller’s obligation under the
Assignment Agreement and notify the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
of
its obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the
Purchase Price on or prior to the Determination Date following the expiration
of
such 90 day period (subject to Section 2.03(e)). The Purchase Price for the
repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be remitted to the Servicer for deposit in
the
Collection Account, and the Trustee, (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee), upon receipt of written certification from the Servicer of such
deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the
related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Originator
or
the Seller, as applicable, shall furnish to it and as shall be necessary
to vest
in the Originator or Seller, as applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto and the Trustee and the Custodian shall have no further responsibility
with regard to such Mortgage File (it being understood that the Trustee shall
have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of such assignment
for
its intended purpose). In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as
provided above, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, may cause such
Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which case it shall become
a
Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d);
provided, however, the Seller may not substitute for any Mortgage Loan which
breaches a representation or warranty regarding abusive or predatory lending
laws. In furtherance of the foregoing, if the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, is not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage Loan which
is
registered on the MERS® System, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, at
its own expense and without any right of reimbursement, shall cause MERS
to
execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer
the Mortgage from MERS to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, and
shall
cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in
accordance with MERS’ rules and regulations. It is understood and agreed that
the obligation of the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, to cure or
to
repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document
is
missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to which
such
a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy
against
the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, respecting such omission, defect
or
breach available to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders.
Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Depositor or receipt of notice by
the
Depositor of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Depositor set forth in Section 2.06, which materially and adversely affects
the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall
cure such breach in all material respects.
(b) Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Servicer or receipt of notice by
the
Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the
Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely affects
the
interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall
cure such breach in all material respects.
(c) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage
Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the last Business
Day
that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted Mortgage
Loan
for which the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by
the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, delivering to the Trustee, (or the
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan
or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and the Assignment to the Trustee,
and
such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon,
as
are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing
that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition
thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment (as described below),
if any,
in connection with such substitution. The Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee), shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans and, within 45 days thereafter, shall review such documents
as
specified in Section 2.02 and deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer,
with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, a certification
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F-1 (with a copy to
the
NIMS Insurer), with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Within one year
of
the date of substitution, the Trustee (or the Custodian on behalf of the
Trustee) shall deliver to the Depositor and the Servicer a certification
substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto (with a copy to the NIMS
Insurer) with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
with
any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Monthly Payments due with respect
to
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not
part of
the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders
will reflect the collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan in the Due Period preceding the month of substitution and the Originator
or
the Seller, as applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Depositor
shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Trustee and the NIMS
Insurer, who shall forward such notice to the Certificateholders, that such
substitution has taken place, shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect
the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement
and
the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall
deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Master Servicer,
the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Servicer and the
NIMS
Insurer. Upon such substitution by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of
the
Mortgage Pool and shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this
Agreement and the Assignment Agreement, including all applicable representations
and warranties thereof included in the Assignment Agreement as of the date
of
substitution.
For
any
month in which the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, substitutes one
or
more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage
Loans,
the Servicer will determine the amount (the “Substitution Adjustment”), if any,
by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
exceeds
the aggregate, as to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, of the
Stated
Principal Balance thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one
month’s interest on such Stated Principal Balance at the applicable Mortgage
Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer for deposit
in
the Collection Account an amount equal to the Substitution Adjustment, if
any,
and the Trustee, (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), upon receipt
of
the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification
by the
Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Originator or the Seller,
as
applicable, the related Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee shall execute
and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to
it
and as shall be necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released
pursuant hereto.
In
addition, pursuant to the terms of the Assignment Agreement, the Originator
or
the Seller, as applicable, shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to
the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the NIMS Insurer an Opinion of Counsel
to
the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be
imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any federal tax
imposed
on “prohibited transactions” under Section 860F(a)(I) of the Code or on
“contributions after the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(I) of the Code or
(b) any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate
is
outstanding. If such Opinion of Counsel can not be delivered, then such
substitution may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of
Counsel can be given.
(d) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator
or the
NIMS Insurer that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage”
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering
such
fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other
parties hereto. In connection therewith, the Originator or the Depositor,
as the
case may be, shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 2.03(d), substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for
the affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or
receipt
of such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase
or
substitution shall be made (i) by the Originator if the affected Mortgage
Loan’s
status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by the Originator under the Assignment
Agreement or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a
non-qualified mortgage is a breach of any representation or warranty of the
Depositor set forth in Section 2.06, or if its status as a non-qualified
mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such repurchase
or
substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.03(a)
or
2.03(d), if made by the Originator, or Section 2.03(b), if made by the
Depositor. The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor or the Originator,
as the
case may be, 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.
(e) Upon
discovery or receipt of written notice of a breach by the Seller of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by the Seller under the Assignment
Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects
the
value of such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders,
and if either (i) such Mortgage Loan is not in breach of any representation,
warranty or covenant of the Originator or (ii) the Originator has failed
to
remedy such representation, warranty or covenant with respect to such Mortgage
Loan, then the Trustee shall enforce the obligation of the Seller to remedy
such
breach, to the extent provided in the Assignment Agreement, in the manner
and
within the time periods set forth in the Assignment Agreement.

ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS
| SECTION 3.01 |
Servicer
to Act as Servicer.
|
The
Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the
Trust
and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders
(as
determined by the Servicer in its reasonable judgment) in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent
with such terms, in the same manner in which it services and administers
similar
mortgage loans for its own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary
and
usual standards of practice of mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering
similar mortgage loans but without regard to:
(1) any
relationship that the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(2) the
ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by the Servicer or any Affiliate
of the Servicer;
(3) the
Servicer’s obligation to make Advances or Servicing Advances; or
(4) the
Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its services
hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing servicing standard (the “Servicing
Standard”), the Servicer (a) shall seek the timely and complete recovery of
principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes and (b) may waive (or permit
a
Sub-Servicer to waive) a Prepayment Charge only under the following
circumstances: (i) such waiver is standard and customary in servicing similar
mortgage loans and such waiver relates to a default or a reasonably foreseeable
default and would, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, maximize recovery
of total proceeds taking into account the value of such Prepayment Charge
and
the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the collection of such Prepayment Charge
would
be in violation of applicable laws or (iii) the amount of the Prepayment
Charge
set forth on the Prepayment Charge Schedule is not consistent with the related
Mortgage Note or is otherwise unenforceable. If a Prepayment Charge is waived
as
permitted by meeting the standard described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above,
then, as notified to the Trustee, the Trustee shall enforce the obligation
of
the Originator to pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Charge to the
Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account for the benefit of the Holders
of
the Class P Certificates. If the Originator fails to pay the amount of such
waived Prepayment Charge in accordance with its obligations under the Assignment
Agreement or the Master Agreement, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee,
and
the Trustee and the Depositor shall consult on further actions to be taken
against the Originator. Subject only to the above-described Servicing Standard
and the terms of this Agreement and of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall
have full power and authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided
in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection
with
such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own
name
or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, to execute and deliver, on behalf
of the
Certificateholders, the Trust Fund and the Trustee or any of them, any and
all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release
or
discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings
or
obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such
properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on
behalf
of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Servicer shall service and administer
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
shall
provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.
The Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement with
all
reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under any standard hazard
insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, within five (5) days of the Closing
Date, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Servicer,
and
furnish to the Servicer and any Sub-Servicer any special or limited powers
of
attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer
or
any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties
hereunder; provided, such limited powers of attorney or other documents shall
be
prepared by the Servicer and submitted to the Trustee for execution. The
Trustee
shall not be liable for the actions of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicers
under
such powers of attorney.
The
Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of
the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Sub-Servicer, when the Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be,
believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage
Loan on
the MERS® System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan on the MERS® System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and
the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment
and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording
of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
the
actions described in the preceding sentence or as a result of MERS discontinuing
or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with the MERS® System,
shall be reimbursable to the Servicer by withdrawal from the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.11.
Subject
to Section 3.09 hereof, in accordance with the standards of the preceding
paragraph, the Servicer, on escrowed accounts, shall advance or cause to
be
advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes
and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing
Advances reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from
the
Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11.
Any cost incurred by the Servicer or by Sub-Servicers in effecting the payment
of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose
of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid Stated
Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the
terms
of such Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that (subject to Section
3.07) the Servicer may capitalize the amount of any Servicing Advances incurred
pursuant to this Section 3.01 in connection with the modification of a Mortgage
Loan.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer may not make any
future
advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section 4.04)
and the Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect to any
Mortgage Loan that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the
Stated
Principal Balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of
principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan (unless,
in
any such case, the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan
or
such default is, in the judgment of the Servicer, reasonably foreseeable)
or
(ii) permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage
Loan that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage
Loan
under Section 1001 of the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder)
and (B) cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under
the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or
“contributions after the startup date” under the REMIC Provisions.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary and notwithstanding its ability
to do
so pursuant to the terms of the related mortgage note, the Servicer shall
not be
required to enforce any provision in any mortgage note the enforcement of
which
would violate federal, state or local laws or ordinances designed to discourage
predatory lending practices.
The
Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement; provided,
however, that no such delegation shall release the Servicer from the
responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
| SECTION 3.02 |
Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between Servicer and Sub-Servicers;
Subcontractors.
|
(a) The
Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with Sub-Servicers, which
may
be Affiliates of the Servicer, for the performance of a substantial portion
of
the material servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans; provided,
however, such sub-servicing arrangement and the terms of the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement must provide for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans
in
a manner consistent with the servicing arrangement contemplated hereunder.
The
Trustee is hereby authorized to acknowledge, at the request of the Servicer,
any
Sub-Servicing Agreement. No such acknowledgment shall be deemed to imply
that
the Trustee has consented to any such Sub-Servicing Agreement, has passed
upon
whether such Sub-Servicing Agreement meets the requirements applicable to
Sub-Servicing Agreements set forth in this Agreement or has passed upon whether
such Sub-Servicing Agreement is otherwise permitted under this
Agreement.
Each
Sub-Servicer 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 Sub-Servicer to perform
its
obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) a Xxxxxxx
Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement
must
impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming to the provisions set
forth
in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent
with
the terms of this Agreement. The Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and will be familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any
Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent with any of the provisions
of
this Agreement. Any variation in any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority
requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the
Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the
Sub-Servicers to the Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent
with
this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer copies of all
Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications thereof, promptly
upon the Servicer’s execution and delivery of such instruments.
(b) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer, for the benefit of the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each
Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, including, without
limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments
as
required by a Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such
form
and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Servicer, in its
good
faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage
Loans. The Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense,
and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting
from
such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts
due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery
of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the party against whom such
enforcement is directed.
(c) It
shall
not be necessary for the Servicer to seek the consent of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee for the utilization
of
any Subcontractor. The Servicer shall promptly, upon request, provide to
the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator a written description
(in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and
the Trust Administrator) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized
by the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of each
such
Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are “participating in
the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB and
(iii) which elements of the Relevant Servicing Criteria will be addressed
in
assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor.
(d) 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 Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by the
Servicer (or by any Sub-Servicer) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Trust Administrator to comply with the provisions of Section
3.20, 3.21 and 4.05 of this Agreement to the same extent as if the Subcontractor
were the Servicer. The Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining from each
Subcontractor and delivering to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Trust
Administrator any assessment of compliance and attestation required to be
delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 3.21, in each case as and when
required to be delivered.
| SECTION 3.03 |
Successor
Sub-Servicers.
|
The
Servicer, shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement and
the
rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing
Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing
obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Servicer
without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Servicer,
and
the Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or
shall
enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which
qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that such agreement may
be
immediately terminated by the Servicer or the Master Servicer (if the Master
Servicer is acting as Servicer) without fee, in accordance with the terms
of
this Agreement, in the event that the Servicer (or the Master Servicer, if
it is
then acting as Servicer) shall, for any reason, no longer be the Servicer
(including termination due to a Servicer Event of Termination).
| SECTION 3.04 |
Liability
of the Servicer.
|
Notwithstanding
any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to
agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference
to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall
remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders
for the
servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability
by
virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of
indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the
same
terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering
the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement
with a Sub- Servicer for indemnification of the Servicer by such Sub-Servicer
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such
indemnification.
| SECTION 3.05 |
No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and the Trustee, the
Trust
Administrator, the NIMS Insurer or
Certificateholders.
|
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Servicer alone,
and the NIMS Insurer, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator
and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall
have no
claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the
Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. The Servicer shall be solely
liable for all fees owed by it to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether
the
Servicer’s compensation pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such
fees.
| SECTION 3.06 |
Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Master
Servicer.
|
In
the
event the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the Servicer (including
by
reason of the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination), the Master
Servicer or, if the Master Servicer is the Servicer, the Trustee (or the
successor servicer appointed pursuant to Section 7.02) (or
another successor master servicer)
shall
thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under
each
Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Servicer may have entered into, unless the
Master Servicer or the Trustee (or successor servicer or master servicer),
as
applicable, elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance
with
its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Master Servicer
or the Trustee, as applicable (or the successor servicer appointed pursuant
to
Section 7.02 (or another successor master servicer) shall be deemed, subject
to
Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Servicer’s interest therein and to have
replaced the Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same
extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming
party, except that (i) the Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any
liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none
of the
Trust Administrator, its designee or any successor Servicer shall be deemed
to
have assumed any liability or obligation of the Servicer that arose before
it
ceased to be the Servicer.
The
Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Master Servicer, deliver
to
the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party.
| SECTION 3.07 |
Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
|
The
Servicer shall make reasonable efforts, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions
of
the Mortgage Loans and the provisions of any applicable insurance policies
provided to the Servicer. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may
in its
discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if applicable, any penalty
interest or any provisions of any Mortgage Loan requiring the related Mortgagor
to submit to mandatory arbitration with respect to disputes arising thereunder,
or (ii) extend the due dates for the Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note
for
a period of not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that any extension
pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule
of any
Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided
below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above,
the
Servicer shall make timely Advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension
pursuant to Section 4.04 and in accordance with the amortization schedule
of
such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in
default
or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable,
the
Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also
waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including, but not
limited
to, modifications that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment
of
principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage
Loan),
accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated
Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent
to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances,
forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively
referred to herein as “forbearance”); provided, however, the Servicer shall not
modify any Mortgage Loan in a manner that would capitalize the amount of
any
unpaid Monthly Payments or tax or insurance payments advanced by the Servicer
on
the Mortgagor’s behalf unless the related Mortgagor shall have remitted an
amount equal to a full Monthly Payment (or, in the case of any Mortgage Loan
subject to a forbearance plan or bankruptcy plan, a full modified monthly
payment under such plan) in each of the three calendar months immediately
preceding the month of such modification. The Servicer’s analysis supporting any
forbearance and the conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of
Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage File or the
Servicer’s books and records.
| SECTION 3.08 |
Sub-Servicing
Accounts.
|
In
those
cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Sub-
Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and maintain
one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with
all
requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account. The
Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in which it customarily
deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its
mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more
than
one Business Day after the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of
Mortgage Loans received by the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation
to
the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter
deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than
two
Business Days after the receipt of such amounts. The Sub-Servicer shall
thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such
proceeds to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later
than
two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Sub-Servicing
Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to
have
received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives such
payments.
| SECTION 3.09 |
Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing
Accounts.
|
The
Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and
maintained, one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all
Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall
be
Eligible Accounts. The Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account in
which
it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than the second Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, all
Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter
deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no event more
than
two Business Days after the receipt of such Escrow Payments, all Escrow Payments
collected on account of the Mortgage Loans for the purpose of effecting the
payment of any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement.
Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect
payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, and comparable
items
in a manner and at a time that assures that the lien priority of the Mortgage
is
not jeopardized (or, with respect to the payment of taxes, in a manner and
at a
time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or
the
foreclosure as a result of a tax lien); (ii) reimburse the Servicer (or a
Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement)
out
of related collections for any Servicing Advances made pursuant to Section
3.01
(with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to
hazard
insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors
on balances in the Servicing Account; or (v) clear and terminate the Servicing
Account at the termination of the Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in
respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article
X.
In the event the Servicer shall deposit in a Servicing Account any amount
not
required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount
from
such Servicing Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Servicer will be responsible for the administration of the Servicing
Accounts and will be obligated to make Servicing Advances to such accounts
when
and as necessary to avoid the lapse of insurance coverage on the Mortgaged
Property, or which the Servicer knows, or in the exercise of the required
standard of care of the Servicer hereunder should know, is necessary to avoid
the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure as
a
result of a tax lien. If any such payment has not been made and the Servicer
receives notice of a tax lien with respect to the Mortgage being imposed,
the
Servicer will, within a reasonable time following receipt of such notice,
advance or cause to be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on
the
Mortgaged Property. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer or
Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in the Servicing
Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest
earned
on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest
from
its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. The Servicer
may pay
to itself any excess interest on funds in the Servicing Accounts, to the
extent
such action is in conformity with the Servicing Standard, is permitted by
law
and such amounts are not required to be paid to Mortgagors or used for any
of
the other purposes set forth above.
| SECTION 3.10 |
Collection
Account.
|
(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to
be
established and maintained, one or more accounts (such account or accounts,
the
“Collection Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Servicer shall deposit
or
cause to be deposited in the clearing account in which it customarily deposits
payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage
loan
servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than one Business
Day after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the
Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the Servicer’s
receipt thereof, as and when received or as otherwise required hereunder,
the
following payments and collections received or made by it subsequent to the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on the Mortgage
Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) or payments (other than Principal
Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable
to a
Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments (but not
Prepayment Charges), on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest (net of the Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage
Loan;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and condemnation
proceeds (other than proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO
Property and amounts paid in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans
and
REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01);
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with
any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with
Section 2.03, Section 3.16(c) or Section 10.01;
(vii) all
amounts required to be deposited in connection with Substitution Adjustments
pursuant to Section 2.03; and
(viii) all
Prepayment Charges collected by the Servicer and any Servicer Prepayment
Charge
Payment Amounts in connection with the Principal Prepayment of any of the
Mortgage Loans.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive,
it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, payments in the nature of Servicing Fees, late payment charges,
assumption fees, insufficient funds charges, Prepayment Interest Excess and
ancillary income (other than Prepayment Charges) need not be deposited by
the
Servicer in the Collection Account and may be retained by the Servicer as
additional compensation. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision
herein
to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) Funds
in
the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance
with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Servicer shall give written
notice to the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer of the location
of the
Collection Account maintained by it when established and prior to any change
thereof. The Trust Administrator will then provide timely written notice
to the
Depositor and the Trustee.
(c) Funds
held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Servicer
to
the Trust Administrator for deposit in an account (which may be the Distribution
Account and must satisfy the standards for the Distribution Account as set
forth
in the definition thereof) and for all purposes of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a part of the Collection Account; provided, however, that the
Trust
Administrator shall have the sole authority to withdraw any funds held pursuant
to this subsection (d). In the event the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust
Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required
to
be deposited therein, it may at any time request that the Trust Administrator
withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it any such
amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In addition,
the
Servicer, with respect to items (i) through (iv) below, shall deliver to
the
Trust Administrator from time to time for deposit, and the Trust Administrator,
with respect to items (i) through (iv) below, shall so deposit, in the
Distribution Account:
(i) any
Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.04;
(ii) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in
connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any
amounts to be paid by the Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 10.01;
(iv) any
Compensating Interest to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection
with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall; and
(v) any
amounts required to be paid to the Trust Administrator pursuant to the
Agreement, including, but not limited to Section 3.06 and Section
7.02.
| SECTION 3.11 |
Withdrawals
from the Collection Account.
|
The
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account
for any of the following purposes, without priority, or as described in Section
4.03:
(1) to
remit
to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts
required to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be
so
remitted pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(2) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Servicer for (a) any unreimbursed Advances
to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net of
the
related Servicing Fees), Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on Mortgage
Loans or REO Properties with respect to which such Advances were made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04; or (b) without limiting any
right of withdrawal set forth in clause (vi) below, any unreimbursed Advances
that, upon a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
are Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections
(net
of the related Servicing Fees), Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds
received with respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse
the
Servicer for such unreimbursed Advances;
(3) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer (a) any unpaid
Servicing Fees, (b) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent of any Late Collections, Liquidation
Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan
or
REO Property, and (c) without limiting any right of withdrawal set forth
in
clause (vi) below, any Servicing Advances made with respect to a Mortgage
Loan
that, upon a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan
are
Nonrecoverable Advances, but only to the extent that Late Collections,
Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to such
Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer
for
Servicing Advances;
(4) to
pay to
the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing Fee)
on the
Servicer Remittance Date any interest or investment income earned on funds
deposited in the Collection Account;
(5) to
pay to
the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03
or
Section 3.16(c) all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date of purchase
or substitution, as the case may be;
(6) to
reimburse the Servicer for any Advance or Servicing Advance previously made
which the Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance or
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section
4.03;
(7) to
reimburse the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Depositor for expenses
incurred by or reimbursable to the Servicer, the Master Servicer or the
Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.03;
(8) to
reimburse the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect
of the
breach or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03
of
this Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan,
including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase
obligation;
(9) to
reimburse the Servicer for any unpaid Servicing Fees to the extent not
recoverable from Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds
received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan under Section 3.11
(iii);
(10) to
pay,
or to reimburse the Servicer for advances in respect of expenses incurred
in
connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b);
(11) to
pay
itself any Prepayment Interest Excess; and
(12) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 9.01.
The
foregoing requirements for withdrawal from the Collection Account shall be
exclusive. In the event the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account
any
amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw
such
amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
The
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage Loan
by
Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to
subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above. The Servicer
shall provide written notification to the Trust Administrator, on or prior
to
the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals
from
the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (vi) above; provided that a
Servicing Officer certification in the form described under Section 4.04(d)
shall suffice for such written notification to the Trustee in respect
hereof.
| SECTION 3.12 |
Investment
of Funds in the Collection Account.
|
(a) The
Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection
Account and any REO Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, such account
an
“Investment Account”) to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or
more Permitted Investments specified in such instruction bearing interest
or
sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later
than
the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person
other
than the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than
the
date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant
to this Agreement, if the Trust Administrator is the obligor thereon. All
such
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand.
Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of
the
Trust Administrator (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee
of the
Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to sole
possession (except with respect to investment direction of funds held in
any
Investment Account and any income and gain realized thereon) over each such
investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such
investment shall be delivered directly to the Trust Administrator or its
agent,
together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such
investment to the Trust Administrator or its nominee. In the event amounts
on
deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted
Investment payable on demand, the Trust Administrator shall:
(x) consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon
be
made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder
and (2)
the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that such Permitted Investment
would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
on
deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Collection Account and any REO Account held by or on behalf of the Servicer,
shall be for the benefit of the Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal
in accordance with Section 3.11 or Section 3.23, as applicable. The Servicer
shall deposit in the Collection Account or any REO Account, as applicable,
the
amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately upon realization
of such
loss.
(c) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in
the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trust
Administrator may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon
the
request of the Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the
Voting
Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as
may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
(d) Upon
receipt of written instructions from the majority Holder of the Class C
Certificates or if the Class C Certificates have been pledged pursuant to
an
Indenture, the majority equity holder in such transaction (either such party,
the “Class C Holder”), the Trustee shall invest the funds on deposit in the
Distribution Account during the Float Period. Such instructions from the
Class C Holder shall remain in force until the Trustee receives written
instructions from the Class C Holder to cease investing such funds during
the
Float Period. All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Distribution Account during the Float Period shall
be included in Available Funds on the next Distribution Date. The
Class C Holder shall deposit in the Distribution Account, from its own funds,
the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted
Investment made with funds in the Distribution Account during the
Float Period immediately upon notification of such loss. The Trustee may
at its
discretion, and without liability, hold the funds in the Distribution Account
after the Float Period uninvested.
| SECTION 3.13 |
[Reserved].
|
| SECTION 3.14 |
Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity
Coverage.
|
The
Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan hazard insurance
with extended coverage on the Mortgaged Property in an amount which is at
least
equal to the lesser of the current principal balance of such Mortgage Loan
and
the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss to the
improvements which 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 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 property and (ii) the outstanding Principal Balance of the related
Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO Property. The Servicer will comply
in
the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements
of
each insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected
by the
Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or
amounts
to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the
Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject
to
the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall
be
deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject
to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO
Property. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any such insurance
shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders,
be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan,
notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit; provided,
however, that the Servicer may capitalize the amount of any Servicing Advances
incurred pursuant to this Section 3.14 in connection with the modification
of a
Mortgage Loan. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant
to
such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and
as
shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by
the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood
insurance has been made available, the Servicer will cause to be maintained
a
flood insurance policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be
in an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid Principal Balance of the related
Mortgage 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). If at any time during the term of the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer
determines, in accordance with applicable law, that a Mortgaged Property
is
located in a special flood hazard area and is not covered by flood insurance
or
is covered in an amount less than the amount required by the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended, the Servicer shall notify the related
Mortgagor that the Mortgagor must obtain such flood insurance coverage, and
if
said Mortgagor fails to obtain the required flood insurance coverage within
forty-five (45) days after such notification, the Company shall immediately
force place the required flood insurance on the Mortgagor’s behalf.
In
the
event that the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy insuring
against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively
be
deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences
of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that such policy may
contain a deductible clause on terms substantially equivalent to those
commercially available and maintained by competent servicers, in which case
the
Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on
the
related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first
two
sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses
which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account
from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as
administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to
prepare
and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, the Trust Fund and the
Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion
in
accordance with the terms of such policy.
The
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 its respective obligations under this Agreement, which policy
or
policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the requirements
of
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the Mortgage Loans,
unless
the Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae
or
Xxxxxxx Mac. The Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity bond in the form
and
amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless
the
Servicer, has obtained a waiver of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac. The Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if
an
Affiliate of the Servicer, has such errors and omissions and fidelity bond
coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity bond, the
coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Servicer. Any such errors and
omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be cancelable without
thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator.
The
Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of insurance
covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such
requirements and shall provide to the Master Servicer evidence of the
authorization of the person signing any certification, statement, financial
information and reports or such other information related to the Servicer
or any
Sub-Servicer or to the Servicer’s or such Sub-Servicer’s performance
hereunder.
| SECTION 3.15 |
Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
|
The
Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or prospective
conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether by absolute
conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor remains
or
is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage), exercise
its
rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under the “due-on-sale”
clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Servicer
shall
not be required to take such action if in its sole business judgment the
Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the Trust Fund and shall
not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from doing so. If the Servicer
reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce such
“due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the proviso
to the preceding sentence apply, the Servicer will enter into an assumption
and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has
been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable
state
law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Servicer is also authorized,
to
the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Note, 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
the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note, provided that no
such
substitution shall be effective unless such person satisfies the current
underwriting criteria of the Servicer for a mortgage loan similar to the
related
Mortgage Loan. In connection with any assumption, modification or substitution,
the Servicer shall apply such underwriting standards and follow such practices
and procedures as shall be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities and as it applies to other mortgage loans owned solely by it.
The
Servicer shall not take or enter into any assumption and modification agreement,
however, unless (to the extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall
have
received confirmation, in writing, of the continued effectiveness of any
applicable hazard insurance policy. Any fee collected by the Servicer in
respect
of an assumption, modification or substitution of liability agreement shall
be
retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In connection
with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note (including
but
not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the Monthly Payment)
may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to the
terms
thereof. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the
Trust
Administrator and the Custodian that any such substitution, modification
or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the
executed original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which document
shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes,
be
considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other
documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Servicer
shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed
to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage
that
is not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
| SECTION 3.16 |
Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
|
(a) The
Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing
Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership
of
properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue
in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Servicer shall be
responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings;
provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing
Advances by the Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section 3.23.
The
foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged
Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Servicer
shall
not be required to expend its own funds toward the restoration of such property
unless it shall determine in its discretion that such restoration will increase
the proceeds of liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement
to
itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall
not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the
Trust
Fund, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer or the Certificateholders would
be
considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an
“owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as
amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has
also
previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared
by
a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry
standards, that:
(1) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to
take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under
any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials
are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the
best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to
the
affected Mortgaged Property.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.16 shall
be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11 (ix), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring
any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall
take
such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust
Fund;
provided that any amounts disbursed by the Servicer pursuant to this Section
3.16(b) shall constitute Servicing Advances, subject to Section 4.04(d).
The
cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be
advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer’s right to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.11 (ix), such
right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Certificateholders to
receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c) The
Servicer may, at its option, purchase a Mortgage Loan which has become 90
or
more days delinquent or for which the Servicer has accepted a deed in lieu
of
foreclosure. Prior to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.16(c), the Servicer
shall be required to continue to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.04.
The
Servicer shall not use any procedure in selecting Mortgage Loans to be
repurchased which is materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall purchase such delinquent Mortgage
Loan at
a price equal to the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan. Any such purchase
of
a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) shall be accomplished by
deposit in the Collection Account of the amount of the Purchase Price. Upon
the
satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 3.17(a), the Trustee
shall
immediately deliver the Mortgage File and any related documentation to the
Servicer and will execute such documents provided to it as are necessary
to
convey the Mortgage Loan to the Servicer.
(d) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as
any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or condemnation proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will
be
applied in the following order of priority: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees;
second, to reimburse the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 3.11(iii) and Advances
pursuant to Section 3.11(ii); third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the
Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the
Due
Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed
if not in connection with a Final Recovery Determination; and fourth, as
a
recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery
so
allocated to interest is less than the full amount of accrued and unpaid
interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be
allocated by the Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and
second, to the balance of the interest then due and owing. The portion of
the
recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to the
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(iii).
| SECTION 3.17 |
Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
|
(a) Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Servicer of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary
for
such purposes, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, in written (with
two
executed copies) or electronic format, a Request for Release in the form
of
Exhibit E hereto (which certification shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment
which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to
Section
3.10 have been or will be so deposited) signed by a Servicing Officer (or
in a
mutually agreeable electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on
its
face, originate from a Servicing Officer) and shall request delivery to it
or
its designee of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and
request, the Trustee shall, within five Business Days, release the related
Mortgage File to the Servicer or its designee (which shall be sent by overnight
mail at the Servicer’s expense) and the Servicer is authorized to cause the
removal from the registration on the MERS® System of any such Mortgage Loan, if
applicable. Except as otherwise provided herein, no expenses incurred in
connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall
be
chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution Account.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any insurance policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon any request made
by or
on behalf of the Servicer and delivery to the Trustee, in written (with two
executed copies) or electronic format, of a Request for Release in the form
of
Exhibit E hereto signed by a Servicing Officer (or in a mutually agreeable
electronic format that will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate
from
a Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File to the Servicer or
its
designee within five Business Days, and the Trustee shall, at the written
direction of the Servicer, execute such documents provided to it by the Servicer
as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request
for Release shall obligate the Servicer to return each and every document
previously requested from the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need
therefor by the Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been
liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have
been
deposited in the Collection Account or the Mortgage File or such document
has
been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official
as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or
other
proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially
or
non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered, or caused to be delivered,
to
the Trustee an additional Request for Release certifying as to such liquidation
or action or proceedings. Upon the request of the Trustee, the Servicer shall
provide notice to the Trustee of the name and address of the Person to which
such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes
of
such delivery. Upon receipt of a Request for Release, in written (with two
executed copies) or electronic format (or in a mutually agreeable electronic
format that will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing
Officer), from a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan was
liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection
with
such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the Collection Account
have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property,
such Mortgage Loan shall be released by the Trustee to the Servicer or its
designee within five Business Days.
(c) Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Servicer and the Sub-Servicer, as the case may be, copies
of any
court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents reasonably
necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged
Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor
on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to
enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage
or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall
include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee
and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required
and
that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate
or
otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of
such a
lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.
| SECTION 3.18 |
Servicing
Compensation.
|
As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled
to the
Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments
of
interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition,
the Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance
Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds or condemnation proceeds to the extent permitted
by Section 3.11(iii) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale
of
an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. Except as provided
in
Section 3.29 or Section 6.04, the right to receive the Servicing Fee may
not be
transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of
all of
the Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due
to a
Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into under Section
3.02.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges,
insufficient funds charges, ancillary income or otherwise (other than Prepayment
Charges) shall be retained by the Servicer only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Servicer. The Servicer shall also be entitled
pursuant to Section 3.11(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account and
pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional
servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein,
subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Servicer shall also be entitled
to
receive Prepayment Interest Excess pursuant to Section 3.10 and Section 3.11
as
additional servicing compensation. The Servicer shall be required to pay
all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder
(including premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to the extent
such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer,
and
servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer) and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trust Administrator to
any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trust Administrator
as a
prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon request and at the expense
of the
requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to
the

|
On
or
before March 15th
of each
calendar year (with no cure period), commencing in 2007, the Servicer shall

and
signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer, to the effect that (a) a

applicable portion thereof) and of its performance under this Agreement during
such period has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (b) to the best
of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has fulfilled
all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects throughout
such calendar year (or applicable portion thereof) or, if there has been
a
failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifically
identifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and the
status thereof.
The
Servicer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, a similar Annual Statement
of
Compliance by any Sub-Servicer, Subcontractor or other Person engaged by
it and
satisfying any of the criteria set forth in Item 1108(a)(i), (ii) or (iii),
to
which the Servicer has delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect
to
the Mortgage Loans, to the Trust Administrator as described above as and
when

Each
of
the Master Servicer and Trust Administrator shall deliver, or cause to be
delivered, a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by any Sub-Servicer,
Subcontractor or other Person engaged by it and satisfying any of the criteria
set forth in Item 1108(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), to which the Master Servicer
has
delegated any servicing responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans,
to
the Trust Administrator as described above as and when required with respect
to
the Master Servicer.
Each
of
the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator shall also provide an Annual
Statement of Compliance, as and when provided above.
Each
of
the Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator (each, an
“Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator and their officers,
directors and Affiliates, as applicable, from and against any actual losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees
and
related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may

under
this Section 3.20.
| SECTION 3.21 |
Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation Reports.
|
(A) On
or
before March 15th
of each
calendar year (with no cure period), commencing in 2007, the Servicer
shall:
(i) deliver
to the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer a report (in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the
Trust Administrator) regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the
Relevant Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year,
as
required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122
of
Regulation AB. Such report shall be addressed to the Master Servicer and
the
Depositor and signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer and shall address
each of the Relevant Servicing Criteria specified substantially on Exhibit
S
hereto (or those Servicing Criteria otherwise mutually agreed to by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Servicer in response to evolving
interpretations of Regulation AB;
(ii) deliver
to the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer a report of a registered
public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, the
Depositor and the Trust Administrator that attests to, and reports on, the
assessment of the compliance made by the Servicer and delivered pursuant
to the
.preceding paragraph. Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules
1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act;
(iii) cause
each Sub-Servicer and each Subcontractor, determined by the Servicer pursuant
to
Section 4.24(b) to be “participating in the servicing function” within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, to deliver to the Trust Administrator,
the Master Servicer and the Depositor an assessment of compliance and
accountants’ attestation as and when provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this
Section 3.21; and
(iv) pursuant
to Section 4.05(a)(iv), deliver, and cause each Sub-Servicer and each

be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, to deliver to the Master Servicer a certification substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N-2.
Each
assessment of compliance provided by a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section
3.21(iii) shall address each of the Relevant Servicing Criteria applicable
to
the Servicer in Exhibit S. An assessment of compliance provided by a
Subcontractor pursuant to Section 3.21(iii) need not address any elements
of the
Relevant Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.02.
The
Servicer acknowledges that the Master Servicer may rely on the certification
provided by the Servicer pursuant clause (iv) above in signing the Certification
and filing such with the Commission. Neither the Master Servicer nor the
Depositor will request delivery of a certification under clause (iv) above
unless the Depositor is required under the Exchange Act to file an annual
report
on Form 10-K with respect to an issuing entity whose asset pool includes
Mortgage Loans.
Each
of
the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and each Custodian shall also
provide, and each such party and the Trustee shall cause any Sub-servicer
or
Subcontractor engaged by it to provide an Assessment of Compliance and
Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum
address
each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit O hereto which are indicated
as applicable to each such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any
trustee, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered unless
it
is required as part of Form 10-K with respect to the Trust Fund.
Each
of
the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trustee (in its capacity as Custodian)
and the Trust Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Trust Administrator and their officers,
directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs,
judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain based
upon a
breach of the obligations of such Indemnifying Party under this Section
3.21.
|
(B)
|
Remedies
Regarding Statements as to Compliance, Assessments of Compliance
and
Attestation Reports.
|
Any
failure by the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Subcontractor to deliver
any
information, report, certification or accountants’ letter when and as required
under Section 3.20 or Section 3.21, including (except as provided below)
any
failure by the Servicer to identify any Subcontractor “participating in the
servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, shall
constitute a Servicer Event of Termination, and the Trustee may (at the
direction of the Depositor) terminate the rights and obligations of the Servicer
under this Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary) of any compensation to the Servicer (other than the Servicer’s
rights to reimbursement of unreimbursed Advances and Servicing Advances and
accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees in the manner provided in this Agreement);
provided that to the extent that any provision of this Agreement expressly
provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination
of the Servicer as servicer, such provision shall be given effect.
Neither
the Trustee nor the Depositor shall be entitled to terminate the rights and
obligations of the Servicer pursuant to this subparagraph (B)(i) if a failure
of
the Servicer to identify a Subcontractor “participating in the servicing
function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable
solely to the role or functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage
loans other than the Mortgage Loans.
| SECTION 3.22 |
Access
to Certain Documentation.
|
The
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Depositor, at the request of the Office of the Controller of the Currency,
the
Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and any other federal or state banking
or
insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any
Certificateholder, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded
without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business
hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it. In addition, upon
receipt
of 5 days written notice, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage
Loans required by applicable laws and regulations will be provided to such
Certificateholder, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer
and
to any Person identified to the Servicer as a prospective transferee of a
Certificate subject to the execution of a confidentiality agreement in form
and
substance satisfactory to the Servicer, upon reasonable request during normal
business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it at the expense
of
the Person requesting such access. Nothing in this Section 3.22 shall derogate
from the obligation of any such party to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of any
such
party to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.22. Nothing in
this
Section 3.22 shall require the Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise
generate any information that it does not generate in its usual course of
business. The Servicer 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 which shall in no event be reimbursable by the Trustee.
The
Servicer agrees to fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting
Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information
(e.g.,
favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian
and
Trans Union Credit Information Servicer, on a monthly basis.
| SECTION 3.23 |
Title,
Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
|
(a) The
deed
or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall, subject to applicable laws,
be
taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit
of
the Certificateholders. The Servicer, on behalf of REMIC 1, shall sell any
REO
Property as soon as practicable and in any event no later than the end of
the
third full taxable year after the taxable year in which such REMIC acquires
ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the
Code or
request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days before the
day
on which the three-year grace period would otherwise expire, an extension
of
such three-year period, unless the Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the
effect
that the holding by the REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to three years
after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on the REMIC of taxes
on
“prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or
cause any of the REMICs created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC under
Federal law at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer
shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the
Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale
in
a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any of the REMICs created hereunder of any “income from
non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code,
or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions.
(b) The
Servicer shall separately account for all funds collected and received in
connection with the operation of any REO Property and shall establish and
maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, with respect to REO
Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The
Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve as the
REO
Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Servicer
shall
be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on funds deposited
in
the REO Account.
(c) The
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things
in
connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in which
the
Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any
of
its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period (subject to the
requirement of prompt disposition set forth in Section 3.23(a))as the Servicer
deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders. In connection
therewith, the Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited in the clearing
account in which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage
loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily
basis, and in no event more than one Business Day after the Servicer’s receipt
thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more
than
two Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt thereof, all revenues received by
it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary
for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property
including, without limitation:
(1) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(2) all
real
estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result
in
the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(3) all
costs
and expenses necessary to maintain, operate and dispose of such REO
Property.
To
the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance
from
its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only
if, the
Servicer would make such advances if the Servicer owned the REO Property
and if
in the Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from
the rental or sale of the REO Property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall:
(A) authorize
the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect
to any
REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income
that
does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(B) authorize
any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts
that
will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(C) authorize
any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building
or
other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the
construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default
on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(D) authorize
any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90
days
after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless,
in any such case, the Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel, provided
to
the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer, to the effect that such
action
will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property”
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it
is held
by the REMIC, in which case the Servicer may take such actions as are specified
in such Opinion of Counsel.
The
Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and
management of any REO Property, provided that:
(4) the
terms
and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent
herewith;
(5) any
such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection
with
the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed
above
and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Servicer
as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following
the
receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(6) none
of
the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such contract or to
actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to
relieve
the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf
of
the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any
such
REO Property; and
(7) the
Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if
it
alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the
operation and management of such REO Property.
The
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent
Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations
hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent Contractor,
and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification. The Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by
it to
any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether the Servicer’s
compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay such fees; provided,
however, that to the extent that any payments made by such Independent
Contractor would constitute Servicing Advances if made by the Servicer, such
amounts shall be reimbursable as Servicing Advances made by the
Servicer.
(d) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Servicer
may
from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO Property:
(i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of
the
related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Advances made in respect of such REO
Property or the related Mortgage Loan. On the Servicer Remittance Date, the
Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account maintained by it and remit
to the
Trust Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance
with
Section 3.10(d)(ii), for distribution on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with Section 4.01, the income from the related REO Property received
during the prior calendar month, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to
Section
3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d).
(e) Subject
to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), each REO Disposition
shall
be carried out by the Servicer in a manner, at such price and upon such terms
and conditions as shall be normal and usual in the Servicing
Standard.
(f) The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be
remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any
payment
or reimbursement to the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall
be
remitted to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account
in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Servicer Remittance Date in the
month
following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related Distribution
Date
in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be for cash only
(unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day
allow
a sale for other consideration).
(g) The
Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage
interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures and
abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income
with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by the Code. Such reports
shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements
of
the Code.
| SECTION 3.24 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
|
The
Servicer shall deliver to the Trust Administrator for deposit into the
Distribution Account on the Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds (or
from
a Sub-Servicer’s own funds received by the Servicer in respect of Compensating
Interest) an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount, if any, by which
the
Prepayment Interest Shortfall for the related Prepayment Period exceeds the
Prepayment Interest Excess for the related Prepayment Period, and (b) the
amount
of the Servicing Fee payable to the Servicer for such Distribution Date.
The
Servicer shall not be obligated to pay Compensating Interest with respect
to
Relief Act Interest Shortfalls.
| SECTION 3.25 |
Obligations
of the Servicer in Respect of Monthly Payments.
|
In
the
event that a shortfall in any collection on or liability with respect to
the
Mortgage Loans in the aggregate results from or is attributable to adjustments
to Mortgage Rates, Monthly Payments or Stated Principal Balances that were
made
by the Servicer in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and this Agreement, the Servicer, upon discovery or receipt
of
notice thereof, immediately shall deposit in the Collection Account from
its own
funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold harmless
the
Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor and any
successor servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall
survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement. If amounts paid by
the
Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.25
are
subsequently recovered from the related Mortgagor, the Servicer shall be
permitted to reimburse itself for such amounts paid by it pursuant to this
Section 3.25 from such recoveries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section
3.25 shall not limit the ability of the Servicer to seek recovery of any
such
amounts from the related Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage
Note,
as permitted by law.
| SECTION 3.26 |
[Reserved].
|
| SECTION 3.27 |
PMI
Policies; Claims Under the PMI Policies.
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Servicer shall
not
take any action with respect to a PMI Mortgage Loan that could result in
denial
of coverage under the PMI Policy. The Servicer shall notify the PMI Insurer
that
the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, is the Insured, as that
term
is defined in the PMI Policy, of each PMI Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall,
on
behalf of the Trust Administrator, prepare and file on a timely basis with
the
PMI Insurer, all claims which may be made under the PMI Policy with respect
to
the PMI Mortgage Loans. Copies of any such claims will be provided to the
Trust
Administrator as reasonably requested. Consistent with all rights and
obligations hereunder, the Servicer shall take all actions required under
the
PMI Policy as a condition to the payment of any such claim. Any amount received
from the PMI Insurer with respect to any such PMI Mortgage Loan shall be
deposited by the Servicer into the Collection Account in accordance with
Section
3.10. The Trust Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution Account
on
each Distribution Date and pay to the PMI Insurer the PMI Insurer Fee in
accordance with this Agreement.
| SECTION 3.28 |
Late
Remittance.
|
With
respect to any remittance received by the Master
Servicer after
the
day on which such payment was due, the Servicer shall pay to the Master Servicer
interest on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate,
adjusted as of the date of each change, plus three percentage points, but
in no
event greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest
shall be deposited in the Distribution Account by the Servicer on the date
such
late payment is made and shall cover the period commencing with the day such
payment was due and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is
made,
both inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with the distribution
payable on the next succeeding Servicer Remittance Date. The payment by the
Servicer of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension of time for
payment or a waiver of any Servicer Event of Termination.
| SECTION 3.29 |
Advance
Facility.
|
The
Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility
(any
such arrangement, an “Advance Facility”) under which (1) the Servicer sells,
assigns or pledges to another Person (together with such Person’s successors and
assigns, an “Advancing Person”) the Servicer’s rights under this Agreement to be
reimbursed for any Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (2) an Advancing
Person
agrees to fund some or all Advances and/or Servicing Advances required to
be
made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. The Servicer is hereby
authorized to assign its rights to the Servicing Fee; it being understood
that
neither the Trust Fund nor any party hereto shall have a right or claim
(including without limitation any right of offset) to the portion of the
Servicing Fee so assigned. No consent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificateholders or any other party
shall be required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility.
The
Servicer shall notify each other party to this Agreement prior to or promptly
after entering into or terminating any Advance Facility. Notwithstanding
the
existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advancing Person agrees
to fund
Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Servicer’s behalf, the Servicer shall
remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances and Servicing
Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement. If the Servicer enters
into an Advance Facility, and for so long as an Advancing Person remains
entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advances including Nonrecoverable
Advances (“Advance Reimbursement Amounts”) and/or Servicing Advances including
Nonrecoverable Advances (“Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts” and together
with Advance Reimbursement Amounts, “Reimbursement Amounts”) (in each case to
the extent such type of Reimbursement Amount is included in the Advance
Facility), as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, then, the Servicer
shall
identify such Reimbursement Amounts consistent with the reimbursement rights
set
forth in Section 3.11(ii), (iii), (vi) and (vii) and remit such Reimbursement
Amounts in accordance with Section 3.10(b) or otherwise in accordance with
the
documentation establishing the Advance Facility to such Advancing Person
or to a
trustee, agent or custodian (an “Advance Facility Trustee”) designated by such
Advancing Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no
event
shall Advance Reimbursement Amounts or Servicing Advance Reimbursement Amounts
be included in the Available Funds or distributed to
Certificateholders.
Reimbursement
Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer would
be
permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with this Agreement, assuming
the
Servicer or the Advancing Person had made the related Advance(s) and/or
Servicing Advance(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with respect
to
reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth in this Agreement,
no
Person shall be entitled to reimbursement from funds held in the Collection
Account for future distribution to Certificateholders pursuant to this
Agreement. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Trust
Administrator shall have any duty or liability with respect to the calculation
or payment of any Reimbursement Amount, nor shall the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall have any responsibility
to track or monitor the administration of the Advance Facility or the payment
of
Reimbursement Amounts to the related Advancing Person or Advance Facility
Trustee. The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor servicer
and
(upon request) the Trust Administrator a detailed accounting on a loan by
loan
basis as to amounts advanced by, sold, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed
to
any Advancing Person. The successor servicer and the Trust Administrator
shall
be entitled to rely on any such information provided by the predecessor
servicer, and the successor servicer and the Trust Administrator shall not
be
liable for any errors in such information.
An
Advancing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of the rights to be
reimbursed for Advances and/or Servicing Advances, and/or whose obligations
hereunder are limited to the funding or purchase of Advances and/or Servicing
Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification of
a
subservicer set forth in this Agreement.
Reimbursement
Amounts distributed with respect to each Mortgage Loan shall be allocated
to
outstanding unreimbursed Advances or Servicing Advances (as the case may
be)
made with respect to that Mortgage Loan on a "first in, first out" (FIFO)
basis.
Such documentation shall also require the Servicer to provide to the related
Advancing Person or Advance Facility Trustee loan by loan information with
respect to each Reimbursement Amount distributed to such Advancing Person
or
Advance Facility Trustee, to enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility
Trustee to make the FIFO allocation of each Reimbursement Amount with respect
to
each Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed for
all
Advances and Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the
related
rights to be reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged
to an
Advancing Person.
The
Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Master Servicer, any successor servicer and the Trust Fund for any loss,
liability or damage resulting from any claim by the related Advancing Person,
except to the extent that such claim, loss, liability or damage resulted
from or
arose out of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct or breach of
its
duties hereunder on the part of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator or any successor servicer.
Any
amendment to this Section 3.29 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 3.29, including amendments to add provisions
relating to a successor servicer, may be entered into by the Trustee, the
Trust
Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Servicer without
the
consent of any Certificateholder, provided such amendment complies with Section
11.01 hereof. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and
expenses) of each party hereto of any such amendment shall be borne solely
by

Master
Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
|
The
Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the
Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with
the
terms of this 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 Servicer 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
Servicer and shall cause the Servicer to perform and observe the covenants,
obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by the Servicer under
this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently monitor the Servicer’s
servicing activities 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 Servicer’s and Master
Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the
Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Trust Administrator
as
shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in
Section 4.02, and prepare any other information and statements required to
be
forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile
the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of
the
Servicer to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3A.11.
The
Trustee shall furnish the Servicer and the Master Servicer with any powers
of
attorney and other documents in form as provided to it necessary or appropriate
to enable the Servicer and the Master Servicer to service and administer
the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
The
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall provide access to the records and
documentation in possession of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, regarding the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and the servicing
thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and
examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior
written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee
or
the Trust Administrator, as applicable; provided, however, that, unless
otherwise required by law, neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator
shall
be required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision
thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee
and the Trust Administrator shall allow representatives of the above entities
to
photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment
for
that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee’s or Trust Administrator’s, as
applicable, actual costs.
The

any
court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary or
desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to a Mortgaged
Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor

Monitoring
of Servicer.
|
In
the
review of the Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an
Officers’ Certificate of the Servicer (or similar document signed by a Servicing
Officer of the Servicer) with regard to the Servicer’s compliance with the terms
of this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment,
determines that the Servicer should be terminated in accordance with the
terms
hereof, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the terms hereof with
respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute
grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor,
the Trust Administrator and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall
issue such notice or take such other action as it deems
appropriate.
The
Master Servicer or (if the Master Servicer is the Servicer) the Trustee,
for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of the Servicer
under this Agreement, and shall, in the event that it receives notice that
the
Servicer has failed to perform its obligations in accordance with this
Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and
obligations of the Servicer hereunder in accordance with the provisions of
Article VII and act as Servicer of the Mortgage Loans or appoint a successor
servicer; 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 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
Trustee (or such other successor master servicer), as applicable, in its
good
faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the Mortgage
Loans.
The Master Servicer or the Trustee (or such other successor master servicer),
as
applicable, shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided
that the Master Servicer or the Trustee (or such other successor master
servicer), as applicable, shall not be required to prosecute or defend any
legal
action except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Trustee (or such
other successor master servicer), as applicable, shall have received reasonable
indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.
To
the
extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer or Trustee, as
applicable, related to any termination of the Servicer, appointment of a
successor servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, with respect to this Agreement
(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 Servicer as a result of a Servicer Event of Termination
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 Mortgage
Loans
in accordance with this Agreement) 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
Account.
The
Master Servicer (or if the Master Servicer is the Servicer, the Trustee (or
other successor master servicer)) shall, upon receipt from the Servicer,
the
Master Servicer or the Trust Administrator, of notice of any failure of the
Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations
set
forth in this Agreement, enforce such obligations after consultation with
the
Depositor.
If
the
Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, acts as Servicer, it will
not
assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer that
it
replaces.
| SECTION 3A.04 |
Fidelity
Bond.
|
The
Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity
bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with
respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on
such
Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the performance
of the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder. The errors and omissions
insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount
generally acceptable for entities serving as Master Servicer.
| SECTION 3A.05 |
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
Article X 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,
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 Mortgage 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 Article X, shall not permit any 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 the Trust 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
would
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 or the
Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any powers
of
attorney empowering the Master Servicer or the 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
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 misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer
or
the Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that
it is
likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit
such
action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be
adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such
action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee
in
the appointment of a co

|
To
the
extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master
Servicer shall cause the Servicer to enforce such clauses in accordance with
this 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.

Documents,
Records and Funds in Possession of Master Servicer to be Held for

on behalf of the Trustee) such documents and instruments coming into the
possession of the Master Servicer or the Servicer from time to time as are

Administrator or the Custodian. Any funds received by the Master Servicer
or by
the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loan or which otherwise are collected
by
the Master Servicer or by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance
Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan shall be held for the benefit of
the
Trustee and the Certificateholders subject to the Master Servicer’s right to
retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account the Master Servicing
Compensation and other amounts provided in this Agreement, and to the right
of
the Servicer to retain its Servicing Fee and other amounts as provided in
this
Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, and subject to Section 3.22 shall cause
the Servicer to, provide access to information and documentation regarding
the
Mortgage Loans to the Trust Administrator, its agents and accountants at
any
time upon reasonable request and during normal business hours, and to
Certificateholders that are savings and loan associations, banks or insurance
companies, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC and the supervisory
agents
and examiners of such Office and Corporation or examiners of any other federal
or state banking or insurance regulatory authority if so required by applicable
regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or other regulatory authority,
such access to be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request
in
writing and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer
designated by it. In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall
not be
responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.
All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Master Servicer or the 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 Servicer or the Master Servicer,

payable to the Master Servicer or the Servicer under this
Agreement.

all
income and gain realized from any investment of funds in the Distribution
Account, pursuant to Section 3A.11 and Section 3A.12, for the performance
of its
activities hereunder (the “Master Servicing Compensation”). Servicing
compensation in the form of assumption fees, if any, late payment charges,
as
collected, if any, or otherwise shall be retained by the Servicer in accordance
with Section 3.18. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder
and
shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as provided in this
Agreement.
| SECTION 3A.10 |
Obligations
of the Master Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.

In
the
event of a Prepayment Interest Shortfall, the Master Servicer shall remit

Trust Administrator, from its own funds and without right of reimbursement
(except as described below), not later than the related Distribution Date,
Compensating Interest in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate
amounts in respect of Compensating Interest required to be paid by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.24 with respect to Prepayment Interest Shortfalls
attributable to Principal Prepayments in full on the Mortgage Loans for the
related Distribution Date and not so paid by the Servicer and (ii) the aggregate
compensation payable to the Master Servicer for the related collection period
under this Agreement. In the event the Master Servicer pays any amount in
respect of such Compensating Interest prior to the time it shall have succeeded
as successor servicer, the Master Servicer shall be subrogated to the Trust
Fund’s right to receive such amount from the Servicer. In the event the Trust
Fund receives from the Servicer all or any portion of amounts in respect
of
Compensating Interest required to be paid by the Servicer pursuant to Section
3.24, not so paid by the Servicer when required, and paid by the Master Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3A.10, then the Master Servicer may reimburse itself

such
receipts by the Trust Fund.

Distribution
Account.

On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain one

and as
received by the Master Servicer, the following amounts:
(i) Any
amounts remitted to the Master Servicer by the Servicer from the Collection

the
Master Servicer is the Servicer) the Trustee (in each case in its capacity
as
successor servicer), and any payments of Compensating Interest received from
the
Servicer or made by the Master Servicer (unless, in the case of the Master
Servicer, such amounts are deposited by the Master Servicer directly into
the
Distribution Account);
(iii) Any
Insurance Proceeds or Net Liquidation Proceeds received by or on behalf of
the
Master Servicer or which were not deposited in the Collection

(iv) Any
amounts required to be deposited with respect to losses on investments of
deposits in the Distribution Account; and
(v) Any
other
amounts received by or on behalf of the Master Servicer and required to be
deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement.
All
amounts deposited to the Distribution Account shall be held by the Master
Servicer in the name of the Trustee in Trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement. The requirements for crediting the Distribution Account shall
be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of (A) late payment charges or
assumption, tax service, statement account or payoff, substitution,
satisfaction, release and other like fees and charges and (B) the items
enumerated in Section 3A.12(a) (with respect the clearing and termination
of the
Distribution Account and with respect to amounts deposited in error), in
Section
3A.12(b) or in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), (v) of Section 3A.12(c),
need
not be credited by the Master Servicer to the Distribution Account. In the
event
that the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited to the
Distribution Account any amount not required to be credited thereto, the
Trustee
or the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of a written request therefor signed
by
a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, shall promptly transfer such

to the Master Servicer, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.

Trust
Administrator may direct any depository institution maintaining the Distribution

uninvested. All investments pursuant to this Section 3A.11 shall be in one
or
more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing,
unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately
preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from
such
account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the Trust
Administrator is the obligor thereon or if such investment is managed or
advised
by a Person other than the Trust Administrator or an Affiliate of the Trust
Administrator, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required
to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trust
Administrator is the obligor thereon or if such investment is managed or
advised
by the Trust Administrator or any Affiliate. All such Permitted Investments
shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds
in
the Distribution Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee, or in
the
name of a nominee of the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall
be
entitled to sole possession over each such investment, and any certificate
or
other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly
to
the Trust Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer
necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trust Administrator
or its
nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account are
at any
time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trust
Administrator shall:
(x) consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon
be
made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder
in
an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder
and (2)
the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that such Permitted Investment
would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter
on
deposit in the Distribution Account.
All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer. The
Trust
Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any
loss
of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with
funds in such Account immediately upon realization of such loss.

distributed by the Trust Administrator to the Holders of the Class P
Certificates and shall not be available for distribution to the Holders of
any
other Class of Certificates. The payment of the foregoing amounts to the
Holders
of the Class P Certificates shall not reduce the Certificate Principal Balances
thereof.
(j) The
Trust
Administrator shall make distributions in respect of a Distribution Date
to each
Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided
in Section 10.01 respecting the final distribution), in the case of
Certificateholders of the Regular Certificates, by check or money order mailed
to such Certificateholder at the address appearing in the Certificate Register,
or by wire transfer. Distributions among Certificateholders shall be made
in
proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates held
by
such Certificateholders.
(k) Each
distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the
Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to the accounts
of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures.
Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution
to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing
funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits and disbursements
with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository
and
the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of the
Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Servicer shall have
any
responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by applicable
law.
On
each
Distribution Date, following the foregoing distributions, an amount equal
to the
amount of Subsequent Recoveries deposited into the Collection Account pursuant
to Section 3.10 shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class of Certificates with the Highest Priority up to the extent of
such
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant

Recoveries shall be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance
of the
Class of Certificates with the next Highest Priority, up to the amount of
such
Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant
to
Section 4.08. Holders of such Certificates will not be entitled to any
distribution in respect of interest on the amount of such increases for any
Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase
occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal
Balance
of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective Percentage
Interest.
(i) It
is the
intention of all of the parties hereto that the Class C Certificates receive
all
principal and interest received by the Trust on the Mortgage Loans that is
not
otherwise distributable to any other Class of Regular Certificates or REMIC
Regular Interests and that the Residual Certificates are to receive no principal
and interest. If the Trust Administrator determines that the Residual
Certificates are entitled to any distributions, the Trust Administrator,
prior
to any such distribution to any Residual Certificate, shall notify the Depositor
of such impending distribution but shall make such distribution in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement until this Agreement is amended as specified
in
the following sentence. Upon such notification, the Depositor will request
an
amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to revise such mistake in
the
distribution provisions. The Residual Certificate Holders, by acceptance
of
their Certificates, and the Servicer(s), hereby agree to any such amendment
and
no further consent shall be necessary, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in Section 11.01 of this Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however,
that such amendment shall otherwise comply with Section 11.01
hereof.

The

files
containing the same information in an alternative format) available each
month
to Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Depositor and
the
Rating Agencies via the Trust Administrator’s internet website. The Trust
Administrator’s internet website shall initially be located at
“xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx”. Assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling
the Trust Administrator’s customer service desk at (000) 000-0000. Parties that
are unable to use the above distribution options are entitled to have a paper
copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service
desk
and indicating such. The Trust Administrator shall have the right to change
the
way such statements are distributed in order to make such distribution more
convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and the Trust
Administrator shall provide timely and adequate notification to all above
parties regarding any such changes. As a condition to access the Trust
Administrator’s internet website, the Trust Administrator may require
registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Trust Administrator
will
not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance with this
Agreement. The Trust Administrator shall also be entitled to rely on but
shall
not be responsible for the content or accuracy of any information provided
by
third parties for purposes of preparing the distribution date statement and
may
affix thereto any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion
(without suggesting liability on the part of any other party
thereto).
In
the
case of information furnished pursuant to subclauses (i) and (ii) above,
the
amounts shall be expressed in a separate section of the report as a dollar
amount for each Class for each $1,000 original dollar amount as of the Cut-off
Date.
For
all
purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, delinquencies
shall be determined by the Trust Administrator from information provided
by the
Servicer and reported by the Trust Administrator based on the “OTS” methodology
for determining delinquencies on mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans.
By way of example, a Mortgage Loan would be Delinquent with respect to a
Monthly
Payment due on a Due Date if such Monthly Payment is not made by the close
of
business on the Mortgage Loan’s next succeeding Due Date, and a Mortgage Loan
would be more than 30-days Delinquent with respect to such Monthly Payment
if
such Monthly Payment were not made by the close of business on the Mortgage
Loan’s second succeeding Due Date. The Servicer hereby represents and warrants
to the Depositor that this delinquency recognition policy is not less
restrictive than any delinquency recognition policy established by the primary
safety and soundness regulator, if any, of the Servicer.
(b) Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trust
Administrator shall, upon written request, furnish to each Person who at
any
time during the calendar year was a Certificateholder of a Regular Certificate,
if requested in writing by such Person, such information as is reasonably
necessary to provide to such Person a statement containing the information
set
forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) above, aggregated for such calendar year
or
applicable portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder.
Such obligation of the Trust Administrator shall be deemed to have been
satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be
prepared and furnished by the Trust Administrator to Certificateholders pursuant
to any requirements of the Code as are in force from time to time.
(c) On
each
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall make available to the Residual
Certificateholders a copy of the reports forwarded to the Regular
Certificateholders in respect of such Distribution Date with such other
information as the Trust Administrator deems necessary or
appropriate.
(d) Within
a
reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trust
Administrator shall deliver to each Person who at any time during the calendar
year was a Residual Certificateholder, if requested in writing by such Person,
such information as is reasonably necessary to provide to such Person a
statement containing the information provided pursuant to the previous paragraph
aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which
such Person was a Residual Certificateholder. Such obligation of the Trust
Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that
substantially comparable information shall be prepared and furnished to
Certificateholders by the Trust Administrator pursuant to any requirements
of
the Code as from time to time in force.
| SECTION 4.04 |
Remittance
Reports; Advances.
|
(a) Not
later
than the 17th
day of
each calendar month or if such 17th
day is
not a Business Day, the following Business Day, the Servicer shall furnish
to
the Master Servicer a monthly remittance advice (which together with any
supplemental reports is known as the “Remittance Report”) in a format attached
as Exhibit R-2 or in any other format as mutually agreed to between the Servicer
and the Master Servicer, containing such information regarding the Mortgage
Loans as is needed by the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set forth
in
Section 4.01 and 4.02 hereof. Such Remittance Report will also include a
delinquency report substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit R-1 and
a
realized loss report substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit R-3 (or
in
either case, such other format as mutually agreed to between the Servicer
and
the Master Servicer). The Master Servicer shall not be responsible to recompute,
recalculate or verify any information provided to it by the
Servicer.
(b) The
amount of Advances to be made by the Servicer for any Distribution Date shall
equal, subject to Section 4.04(d), the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of
Monthly Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due during the related
Due
Period in respect of the Mortgage Loans (other than with respect to any REO
Property or second lien Mortgage Loan as described in clauses (ii) and (iii)
below or a Balloon Mortgage Loan as described below), which Monthly Payments
were delinquent on a contractual basis as of the Close of Business on the
related Determination Date, (ii) with respect to each REO Property, which
REO
Property was acquired during or prior to the related Due Period and as to
which
REO Property an REO Disposition did not occur during the related Due Period,
an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of the REO Imputed Interest on such REO
Property for the most recently ended calendar month, over the net income
from
such REO Property transferred to the Distribution Account pursuant to Section
3.23 for distribution on such Distribution Date and (iii) with respect to
each
second lien Mortgage Loan, an amount equal to the interest portion of the
related Monthly Payment (net of the related Servicing Fee). For purposes
of the
preceding sentence, the Monthly Payment on each Balloon Mortgage Loan with
a
delinquent Balloon Payment is equal to the assumed monthly payment that would
have been due on the related Due Date based on the original principal
amortization schedule for such Balloon Mortgage Loan and not the entire Balloon
Payment. In addition, the Servicer shall not be required to advance any Relief
Act Interest Shortfalls or to cover Prepayment Interest Shortfalls in excess
of
its obligations under Section 3.24.
On
or
before the Servicer Remittance Date, the Servicer shall remit in immediately
available funds to the Trust Administrator for deposit in the Distribution
Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Advances, if any, to
be made
in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution
Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account,
to the
extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case it
will
cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of Collection Account
that
amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section
4.04, used by the Servicer in discharge of any such Advance) or (iii) in
the
form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of
Advances
to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties. Servicing Advances, if any, to be made by the Servicer in respect
of
the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties from time to time may be made either
(i)
from its own funds, (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of
funds
held therein for future distribution (in which case, it shall cause to
be made
an appropriate entry in the records of the Collection Account that amounts
held
for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.04, used
by
the Servicer in discharge of any such Servicing Advance) or (iii) in the
form of
any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of Servicing
Advances to be made by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans
and REO
Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution used by the Servicer
to
make an Advance or Servicing Advance as permitted in the preceding sentence
shall be appropriately reflected in the Servicer’s records and replaced by the
Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future Servicer
Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Funds for the related
Distribution Date (determined without regard to Advances and Servicing
Advances
to be made on the Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than the total
amount
that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders pursuant
to
Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for future
distributions had not been so used to make Advances. The Trust Administrator
will provide notice to the Servicer by telecopy by the Close of Business
on any
Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Servicer
to the Trust Administrator on such date is less than the Advances required
to be
made by the Servicer for the related Distribution Date, as set forth in
the
related Remittance Report.
(c) The
obligation of the Servicer to make such Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below, and, with
respect to any Mortgage Loan, shall continue until the Mortgage Loan is paid
in
full or until all Liquidation Proceeds thereon have been recovered, or a
Final
Recovery Determination has been made thereon.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Advance or Servicing Advance shall be
required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if such Advance or Servicing
Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination
by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed
Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable
Advance, shall be evidenced by a certification of a Servicing Officer delivered
to the Trust Administrator (whereupon, upon receipt of such certification,
the
Trust Administrator shall forward a copy of such certification to the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Credit Risk Manager). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if
following the application of Liquidation Proceeds on any Mortgage Loan that
was
the subject of a Final Recovery Determination, any Servicing Advance with
respect to such Mortgage Loan shall remain unreimbursed to the Servicer,
then
without limiting the provisions of Section 3.11(a), a certification of a
Servicing Officer regarding such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall not
be
required to be delivered by the Servicer to the Trust
Administrator.
| SECTION 4.05 |
Commission
Reporting.
|
(a) (i)
Using
best efforts, within 10 days after each Distribution Date, and no later than
15
days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under
the
Exchange Act), the Trust Administrator shall, in accordance with industry
standards, prepare and file, on behalf of the Trust, with the Commission
via the
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”), any Form 10-D required
by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act,
signed by the Master Servicer, with a copy of the monthly statement to be
furnished by the Trust Administrator to the Certificateholders for such
Distribution Date. Any disclosure in addition to the monthly statement that
is
required to be included on Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”) shall,
be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit T to the Depositor and the
Trust
Administrator and directed and approved by the Depositor pursuant to the
following paragraph, and the Trust 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) For
so
long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act,
within 3 calendar days after the related Distribution Date, (i) the parties
set
forth in Exhibit T shall be required to provide, pursuant to Section 4.05(a)(v)
below, to the Trust Administrator (by email at xxx.xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx
and by
facsimile at 410-715-2380) and the Depositor, to the extent known, in
XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other format as otherwise agreed upon
by the
Trust 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 attached hereto as Exhibit P (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 Trust Administrator has no duty under this
Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on
Exhibit
T of their duties under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure
from
such parties any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure information. The Depositor
will
be responsible for any reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred
by the
Trust Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this Section.
After
preparing the Form 10-D, the Trust Administrator shall, upon request, forward
electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for review, only
to the
extent that the Form 10-D contains Additional Form 10-D Disclosure. Within
two
Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than the 7th calendar
day
(on a best efforts basis, and in no event later than the 12th calendar day)
after the Distribution Date, the Depositor shall notify the Trust 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 Trust
Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is in final
form
and the Trust 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 Trust Administrator will follow the
procedures set forth in Section 4.05(a)(vi). Promptly (but no later than
1
Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Trust Administrator will
make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form
10-D
filed by the Trust Administrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge
that
the performance by the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator of its
duties
under Sections 4.05(a)(i), (ii) and (v) related to the timely preparation
and
filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties strictly observing all
applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under such Sections.
The
Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Master Servicer and the
Trust
Administrator of its duties under this Section 4.05(a)(ii) related to the
timely
preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is also contingent upon the
Servicer, the Custodians and any Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor strictly
observing deadlines no later than those set forth in this paragraph that
are
applicable to the parties to this Agreement in the delivery to the Trust
Administrator of any necessary Additional Form 10-D Disclosure pursuant to
the
Custodial Agreement or any other applicable agreement. Neither the Master
Servicer nor the Trust Administrator shall have any liability for any loss,
expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to
properly prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-D and Form 10-K,
where
such failure results from the Trust Administrator’s inability or failure to
receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto or
any
Custodian, Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor needed to prepare, arrange for
execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence,
bad
faith or willful misconduct.
Form
10-D
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
Trust Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such required reports
during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such filing
requirements for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Trust
Administrator in writing, no later than the fifth calendar day after the
related
Distribution Date with respect to filing of a report on Form 10-D, if the
answer
to either question should be “no.” The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to
rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any such
Form
10-D.
(iii) Within
four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure
on
Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), and if requested by the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the
Trust
a 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
T to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator and directed and approved
by the
Depositor, pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Trust 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.
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 set forth
in
Exhibit T shall be required pursuant to Section 4.05(a)(v) below to provide
to
the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known, in
XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other format as otherwise agreed upon
by the
Trust 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 on Form 8-K. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable
fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trust Administrator in connection
with including any Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form 8-K pursuant to
this
Section.
After
preparing the Form 8-K, the Trust Administrator shall, upon request, forward
electronically a copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review. Promptly,
but
no later than the close of business on the third Business Day after the
Reportable Event, the Depositor shall notify the Trust 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 Trust Administrator
shall be entitled to assume that such Form 8-K is in final form and the Trust
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 Trust Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in
Section
4.05(a)(vi). Promptly (but no later than 1 Business Day) after filing with
the
Commission, the Trust Administrator will make available on its internet website
a final executed copy of each Form 8-K filed by it. The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer and the
Trust
Administrator of its duties under this Section 4.05(a)(iii) related to the
timely preparation and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon such parties
strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties
under this Section 4.05(a)(iii). The Depositor acknowledges that the performance
by the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator of its duties under this
Section 4.05(a)(iii) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing
of
Form 10-D is also contingent upon the Servicer, the Custodians and any
Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor strictly observing deadlines no later than
those
set forth in this paragraph that are applicable to the parties to this Agreement
in the delivery to the Trust Administrator of any necessary Form 8-K Disclosure
Information pursuant to the Custodial Agreement or any other applicable
agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trust Administrator shall
have
any liability for any loss, expense, damage or 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 Trust Administrator’s inability or
failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party
hereto or any Custodian, Sub-servicer or Subcontractor needed to prepare,
arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(iv) (A)
On or
prior to 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust or such earlier
date as may be required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K Filing Deadline”) (it
being understood that the fiscal year for the Trust ends on December
31st
of each
year), commencing in March 2007, the Trust Administrator shall prepare and
file
on behalf of the Trust 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 Trust Administrator within
the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement and the Custodial
Agreement, (i) an annual compliance statement for the Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator and any Sub-Servicer, Subcontractor or
other
Person engaged by such parties or the Trustee (together with the Custodian,
each
a “Reporting Servicer”), as described under Section 3.20 of this Agreement and
the Custodial Agreement, provided, however, that the Trust Administrator,
at its
discretion, may omit from the Form 10-K any annual compliance statement that
is
not required to be filed with such Form 10-K for each Reporting Servicer
pursuant to Regulation AB, (ii)(A) the annual reports on assessment of
compliance with Servicing Criteria for each Reporting Servicer, as described
under Section 3.21 of this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement, and (B)
if the
report on assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria identifies
any
material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance
of
noncompliance, or if each reporting Servicer’s report on assessment of
compliance with Servicing Criteria 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 provided, however, that the Trust Administrator, at
its
discretion, may omit from the Form 10-K any assessment of compliance or
attestation report described in clause (iii) below that is not required to
be
filed with such Form 10-K pursuant to Regulation AB, (iii)(A) the registered
public accounting firm attestation report for each Reporting Servicer as
described under Section 3.21 of this Agreement and the Custodial Agreement,
and
(B) if any registered public accounting firm attestation report described
under
Section 3.21 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 (“Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Certification”) as described below. Any disclosure or information in addition to
(i) through (iv) above that is required to be included on Form 10-K (“Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure”) shall, be reported by the parties set forth on Exhibit T
to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator and directed and approved by
the
Depositor pursuant to the following paragraph, and the Trust 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.
No
later
than March 15th
of each
year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements,
commencing in 2007, (i) the parties set forth in Exhibit T shall be required
to
provide pursuant to Section 4.05(a)(v) below to the Depositor and to the
Trust
Administrator (by email at xxx.xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx
and by
facsimile at 410-715-2380), to the extent known, in XXXXX-compatible format,
or
in such other format as otherwise agreed upon by the Trust 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
Trust
Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the
performance by the parties listed on Exhibit T of their duties under this
paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional
Form 10-K Disclosure information. The Depositor will be responsible for any
reasonable fees and expenses assessed or incurred by the Trust Administrator
in
connection with including any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure on Form 10-K
pursuant to this Section.
After
preparing the Form 10-K, the Trust Administrator shall forward, upon request,
electronically a copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor for review. Within
three
Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than March 25th, the
Depositor shall notify the Trust 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 Trust Administrator shall be
entitled to assume that such Form 10-K is in final form and the Trust
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 Trust Administrator will
follow the procedures set forth in Section 4.05(a)(vi). Promptly (but no
later
than 1 Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Trust Administrator
will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each
Form
10-K filed by it. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance
by the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator of its duties under Section
4.05(a)(iv) and Section 4.05(a) (v) related to the timely preparation, execution
and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties strictly observing
all
applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under such Sections,
Section 3.20 and Section 3.21. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance
by the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator of its duties under this
Section 4.05(a)(iv) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing
of
Form 10-K is also contingent upon the Servicer, the Custodians and any
Sub-Servicer or Subcontractor strictly observing deadlines no later than
those
set forth in this paragraph that are applicable to the parties to this Agreement
in the delivery to the Trust Administrator of any necessary Additional Form
10-K
Disclosure, any annual statement of compliance and any assessment of compliance
and attestation pursuant to the related Custodial Agreement or any other
applicable agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trust 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-K, where such failure results from the Trust Administrator’s inability
or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other
party
hereto or any Custodian, Sub-servicer or Subcontractor needed to prepare,
arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
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
Trust Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such required reports
during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such filing
requirements for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Trust
Administrator in writing, no later than the 15th
calendar
day of March in any year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act, if the answer to either question should
be
“no.” The Trust Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such representations
in preparing, executing and/or filing any such Form 10-K.
Each
Form
10-K shall include a certification (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification”), exactly
as set forth in Exhibit N-1 attached hereto, required to be included therewith
pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. Each of the Servicer, the Master Servicer
and the Trust Administrator shall provide, and each such party and the Trustee
shall cause any Sub-servicer or Subcontractor engaged by it to provide, to
the
Person who signs the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification (the “Certifying Person”), by
March 1 of each year in which the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act, a certification (a “Back-Up Certification”), in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit N-2, upon which the Certifying Person, the entity
for
which the Certifying Person acts as an officer, and such entity’s officers,
directors and Affiliates (collectively with the Certifying Person,
“Certification Parties”) can reasonably rely. A senior officer of the Master
Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall serve as the
Certifying Person on behalf of the Trust. Such officer of the Certifying
Person
can be contacted by e-mail at xxx.xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx or by
facsimile at 000-000-0000. In the event that any such party or any Sub-servicer
or Subcontractor engaged by such party is terminated or resigns pursuant
to the
terms of this Agreement, or any other applicable agreement, as the case may
be,
such party shall provide a Back-Up Certification to the Certifying Person
pursuant to this Section 4.05(a)(iv) with respect to the period of time it
was
subject to this Agreement or any other applicable agreement, as the case
may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Master Servicer and the Trust
Administrator shall not be required to deliver a Back-Up Certification to
each
other if both are the same Person and the Master Servicer is the Certifying
Person and (ii) the Master Servicer shall not be obligated to sign the
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Certification in the event that it does not receive any Back-Up
Certification required to be furnished to it pursuant to this section or
any
Servicing Agreement.
(v) With
respect to any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure
or any Form 8-K Disclosure Information (collectively, the “Additional
Disclosure”) relating to the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator’s obligation to
include such Additional Information in the applicable Exchange Act report
is
subject to receipt from the entity that is indicated in Exhibit T as the
responsible party for providing that information, if other than the Trust
Administrator, as and when required as described in Section 4.05(a)(ii) through
(iv) above. Each of the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator
and Depositor hereby agree to notify and to provide, to the extent known,
to the
Trust Administrator and the Depositor, all Additional Disclosure relating
to the
Trust Fund, with respect to which such party is the responsible party for
providing that information, as indicated in Exhibit P hereof. The Swap Provider
will be obligated pursuant to the Swap Agreement to provide to the Trust
Administrator any information that may be required to be included in any
Form
10-D, Form 8-K or Form 10-K. The Servicer shall be responsible for determining
the pool concentration applicable to any Sub-Servicer or originator at any
time,
for purposes of disclosure as required by Items 1108 and 1110 of Regulation
AB.
(vi) On
or
prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Trust Administrator is
able
to do so under applicable law, the Trust Administrator shall prepare and
file a
Form 15 Suspension Notification relating to the automatic suspension of
reporting in respect of the Trust under the Exchange Act.
In
the
event that the Trust Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission
all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K required
to
be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either
not delivered to it or was delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set
forth in this Agreement or for any other reason, the Trust Administrator
will
promptly notify electronically the Depositor. In the case of Form 10-D and
Form
10-K, the parties to this Agreement will cooperate to prepare and file a
Form
12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A and Form 10-K/A as applicable, pursuant to Rule
12b-25
of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Trust 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
succeeding Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, Form
10-D
or Form 10-K needs to be amended, in connection with any Additional Form
10-D
Disclosure (other than, in the case of Form 10-D, for the purpose of restating
any Monthly Statement), Additional Form 10-K Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure
Information, the Trust 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 Form 8-K/A, Form 10-D/A
or
Form 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K or Form
10-D
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
Trust
Administrator of its duties under this Section 4.05(a)(vi) related to the
timely
preparation, execution and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment
to
Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent upon each such party performing
its duties under this Section. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trust
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 Form
8-K,
Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Trust
Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any other party hereto or any custodian, sub-servicer or
subcontractor needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form
15,
Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, not resulting
from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
The
Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trust Administrator, from time
to
time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements
within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the
Trust
Administrator reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary
reports with the Commission. The Trust Administrator shall have no
responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section
4.05; provided, however, the Trust Administrator will cooperate with the
Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust
Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act. Fees and expenses
incurred by the Trust Administrator in connection with this Section 4.05
shall
not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.

of
the Trust Administrator to file a Form 10-K as a result of the lack of required

shall
be allocated pro rata between such REMIC 1 Regular Interests, and second,

REMIC 2 Regular Interest LTP, on a pro
rata
basis,
in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such
Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid
from
previous Distribution Dates. Amounts payable as Uncertificated Accrued Interest

| SECTION 4.09 |

| SECTION 4.10 |
Swap
Account.
|
(a) On
the
Closing Date, there is hereby established a separate trust (the “Supplemental
Interest Trust”), into which the Depositor shall deposit the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement. The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be maintained by the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee. No later than the Closing Date, the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall establish and maintain a separate,
segregated trust account to be held in the Supplemental Interest Trust, titled,
“Swap
Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee,
in
trust for the registered Certificateholders of Soundview Home Loan Trust
2006-EQ2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-EQ2.”
Such
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 Trust Administrator held
pursuant to this Agreement. Amounts therein shall be held
uninvested.
(b) Prior
to
each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall deposit into the Swap Account:
(i) the
amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment (other than any
Swap
Termination Payment resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event) owed to
the
Swap Provider (after taking into account any upfront payment received from
the
counterparty to a replacement interest rate swap agreement) from funds collected
and received with respect to the Mortgage Loans prior to the determination
of
Available Funds. For federal income tax purposes, any amounts paid to the
Swap
Provider on each Distribution Date shall first be deemed paid to the Swap
Provider in respect of REMIC 6 Regular Interest SWAP IO to the extent of
the
amount distributable on REMIC 6 Regular Interest SWAP IO on such Distribution
Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid to the Swap Provider
in
respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount (as defined below).
(c) It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be disregarded
as
an entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates unless and
until
the date when either (a) there is more than one Class C Certificateholder
or (b)
any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class C Certificates is
recharacterized as an equity interest in the Supplemental Interest Trust
for
federal income tax purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties
hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax
purposes, the Supplemental Interest Trust be treated as a partnership, provided,
that the Trust Administrator shall not be required to prepare and file
partnership tax returns in respect of such partnership unless it receives
additional reasonable compensation (not to exceed $10,000 per year) for the
preparation of such filings, written notification recognizing the creation
of a
partnership agreement or comparable documentation evidencing the partnership,
if
any. The Supplemental Interest Trust will be an “outside reserve fund” within
the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h).
(d) To
the
extent that the Supplemental Interest Trust is determined to be a separate
legal
entity from the Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee, any obligation of the
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement
shall
be deemed to be an obligation of the Supplemental Interest Trust.
(e) The
Trust
Administrator shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class
P,
Class C, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) as having entered into a notional
principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class C Certificates.
Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates
(other than the Class P, Class C, 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 C Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of
(i) the
amount payable on such Distribution Date on the REMIC 2 Regular Interest
corresponding to 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 excess of (a) the amount of interest otherwise
payable to such Certificates over (ii) the amount of interest payable to
such
Certificates at a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC Rate, and a Class IO
Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated
to the
most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance
to
the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal
contract, the Holder of the Class C Certificates shall be treated as having
agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates
(other than the Class C, Class P, Class R and Class R-X Certificates) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the 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 C, 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 their interests in REMIC
4 and
as having been paid by such Holders pursuant to the notional principal contract.
Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P and Class R Certificates)
shall
be treated as representing not only ownership of Regular Interests in REMIC
2,
but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a
notional principal contract.
(f) The
Trust
Administrator shall, at the direction of the Depositor, enforce all of its
rights and exercise any remedies under the Swap Agreement. In the event the
Swap
Agreement is terminated as a result of the designation by either party thereto
of an Early Termination Date (as defined therein), the Trust Administrator
shall, at the direction of the Depositor, appoint a replacement counterparty
to
enter into a replacement swap agreement. The Trust Administrator shall have
no
responsibility with regard to the selection of a replacement swap provider
or
the negotiation of a replacement swap agreement. Any Swap Termination Payment
received by the Trust Administrator shall be deposited in the Swap Account
and
shall be used to make any upfront payment required under a replacement swap
agreement and any upfront payment received from the counterparty to a
replacement swap agreement shall be used to pay any Swap Termination Payment
owed to the Swap Provider.
(g) For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of
the
Floating Rate Certificates to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest
Trust in respect of any Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amounts may have more than
a
de
minimis
value.
| SECTION 4.11 |
Tax
Treatment of Swap Payments and Swap Termination
Payments.
|
For
federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Floating Rate 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 Rate
Carryover Reserve Account or the Swap Account in respect of the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Amount or the obligation to make payments to the Swap Account.
For
federal income tax purposes, the Trust Administrator will account for payments
to each Floating Rate Certificates as follows: each Floating Rate Certificate
will be treated as receiving their entire payment from REMIC 3 (regardless
of
any Swap Termination Payment or obligation under the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement) and subsequently paying their portion of any Swap Termination
Payment
in respect of each such Class’ obligation under the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement. In the event that any such Class is resecuritized in a REMIC,
the
obligation under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement to pay any such Swap
Termination Payment (or any shortfall in Swap Provider Fee), 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 Floating Rate Certificate.
The
REMIC
regular interest corresponding to a Floating Rate 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
Rate
computed for this purpose by limiting the Base Calculation Amount of the
Interest Rate 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 Net Monthly Excess Cashflow. As a result of the foregoing,
the amount of distributions and taxable income on the REMIC regular interest
corresponding to a Floating Rate Certificate may exceed the actual amount
of
distributions on the Floating Rate Certificate.
| SECTION 4.12 |
Cap
Account.
|
(a) No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain
with
itself, a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Cap Account, Xxxxx Fargo
Bank, N.A., as Cap Trustee, in trust for the registered Certificateholders
of
Soundview Home Loan Trust 2006-EQ2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-EQ2.”
Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts therein shall be held
uninvested.
(b) On
each
Distribution Date, pursuant to the Cap Allocation Agreement, the Cap Trustee,
prior to any distribution to any Certificate, shall deposit into the Cap
Account
amounts received pursuant to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement for distribution
in
accordance with Section 4.01(f) above.
(c) It
is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income
and
state and local franchise tax purposes, the Cap Account be disregarded as
an
entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates unless and until
the
date when either (a) there is more than one Class C Certificateholder or
(b) any
Class of Certificates in addition to the Class C Certificates is recharacterized
as an equity interest in the Cap Account for federal income tax purposes,
in
which case it is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and
state
income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Cap Account be treated
as
a partnership. The
Cap
Account will be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h). Upon the termination of the Trust Fund, or
the
payment in full of the Class A Certificates and the Mezzanine Certificates,
all
amounts remaining on deposit in the Cap Account shall be released by the
Trust
Fund and distributed to the Class C Certificateholders or their designees.
The
Cap Account shall be part of the Trust Fund but not part of any Trust REMIC
and
any payments to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates of Net WAC
Rate
Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a
REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
(d) By
accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder hereby agrees
to
direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator is hereby directed,
to deposit into the Cap Account the amounts described above on each Distribution
Date.
For
federal income tax purposes, the right of the Floating Rate Certificates
to
receive payments from the Cap Account may have more than a de
minimis
value.
| SECTION 4.13 |
Net
WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account.
|
No
later
than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain
with
itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust
for
registered Holders of Soundview Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-EQ2, Asset-Backed
Certificates, Series 2006-EQ2.” All amounts deposited in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Floating
Rate Certificates in the manner set forth in Section 4.01(d).
On
each
Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable
to the Floating Rate Certificates (after taking into account the remaining
Initial Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account Deposit), the Trust Administrator
has been directed by the Class C Certificateholders to, and therefore will,
deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described
in
Section 4.01(c)(v), rather than distributing such amounts to the Class C
Certificateholders. In addition, any payments received by the Trust
Administrator under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement on each Distribution Date
will
be deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account. On each such
Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall hold all such amounts for
the
benefit of the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates, and will distribute
such amounts to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates in the amounts
and
priorities set forth in Section 4.01(d).
On
each
Distribution Date, any amounts remaining in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account (representing payments received by the Trust Administrator under
the
Basis Risk Cap Agreement) after the payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amounts on the Floating Rate Certificates for such Distribution Date, shall
be
payable to the Trust Administrator as additional compensation. For so long
as
any Floating Rate Certificates are beneficially owned by the Depositor or
any of
its Affiliates, the Depositor shall refund or cause such Affiliate to refund
any
amounts paid to it under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement to the Trust Administrator
who shall, pursuant to the terms of the Basis Risk Cap Agreement, return
such
amount to the counterparty thereunder.
It
is the
intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state
and
local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
be
disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates
unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class C
Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class
C
Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Net WAC Rate
Carryover Reserve Account for federal income tax purposes, in which case
it is
the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and
state
and local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account
be
treated as a partnership provided, that the Trust Administrator shall not
be
required to prepare and file partnership tax returns in respect of such
partnership unless it receives additional reasonable compensation (not to
exceed
$10,000 per year) for the preparation of such filings, written notification
recognizing the creation of a partnership agreement or comparable documentation
evidencing the partnership, if any. All amounts deposited into the Net WAC
Rate
Carryover Reserve Account (other than amounts received under the Basis Risk
Cap
Agreement) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 4 to the Holder
of
the Class C Interest and by REMIC 4 to the Holder of the Class C Certificates.
The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be an “outside reserve fund”
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h). Upon the
termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Floating Rate
Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account will be released by the Trust and distributed to the Holders
of
the Class C Certificates or their designee. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve
Account will be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments
to
the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts
will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the
meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1).
By
accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder hereby agrees
to
direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator hereby is directed,
to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described
above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover
Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders.
By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder further
agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration,
the
receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such
acceptance.
Amounts
on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall remain
uninvested.
For
federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of
the
Floating Rate Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover
Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amounts may have
more than a de
minimis
value.
| SECTION 4.14 |

Rights
and Obligations Under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement, the Interest
Rate Cap
Agreement and the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement.
|
(a) In
the
event that the Basis Risk Cap Provider fails to perform any of its obligations
under the Basis Risk Cap 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 Basis Risk Cap Agreement) occurs with respect to the Basis Risk Cap
Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall, promptly following actual notice
of
such failure, breach or event, notify the Depositor and send any notices

on the day it is required to make payment under the terms of the Basis Risk
Cap
Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall, promptly following actual notice
of
the Basis Risk Cap Provider’s failure to pay, demand that the Guarantor make any

loss
or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits)
in
connection therewith.
Upon
an
early termination of the Basis Risk Cap Agreement other than in connection
with
the optional termination of the Trust, the Trust Administrator, at the direction
of the Depositor, will use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor basis
risk
cap provider to enter into a new basis risk cap agreement on terms substantially
similar to the Basis Risk Cap Agreement, with a successor basis risk cap
provider meeting all applicable eligibility requirements. If the Trust
Administrator receives a termination payment from the Basis Risk Cap Provider
in
connection with such early termination, the Trust Administrator (will apply
such
termination payment to any upfront payment required to appoint the successor
basis risk cap provider. If the Trust Administrator is required to pay a
termination payment to the Basis Risk Cap Provider in connection with such

within 30 days of the early termination, then the Trust Administrator will
deposit any termination payment received from the original Basis Risk 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

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 Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Cap Trustee) shall in no
event
be liable for any failure or delay in the performance by the Interest Rate
Cap
Provider or any Guarantor of its obligations hereunder or pursuant to the

as Cap Trustee) receives a termination payment from the Interest Rate Cap
Provider in connection with such early termination, the Trust Administrator
(in
its capacity as Cap Trustee) will apply such termination payment to any upfront
payment required to appoint the successor interest rate cap provider. If

Termination Event, or Additional Termination Event (each as defined in the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement) occurs with respect to the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement, the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as 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 Interest Rate Swap Agreement.
In
the
event that the Swap Provider’s obligations are guaranteed by a third party under
a guaranty relating to the Interest Rate 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 Interest Rate Swap Agreement,

any
Guarantor of its obligations hereunder or pursuant to the Interest Rate 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.
Upon
an
early termination of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement other than in connection
with the optional termination of the Trust, the Trust Administrator (in its
capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee), at the direction of the
Depositor, will use reasonable efforts to appoint a successor swap provider
to
enter into a new interest rate swap agreement on terms substantially similar
to
the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, with a successor swap provider meeting
all
applicable eligibility requirements. If the Trust Administrator (in its capacity
as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) receives a termination payment from
the
Swap Provider in connection with such early termination, the Trust Administrator
(in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) will apply such
termination payment to any upfront payment required to appoint the successor
swap provider. If the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee) is required to pay a termination payment to the Swap
Provider in connection with such early termination, the Trust Administrator
(in
its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) will apply any upfront
payment received from the successor swap provider to pay such termination
payment.
If
the
Trust Administrator (in its capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee)

Interest Trust Trustee) will deposit any 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 Net Swap
Payment, if any, that would have been paid to the Trust Administrator (in
its
capacity as Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee) by the original Swap Provider
calculated in accordance with the terms of the original Interest Rate Swap
Agreement, and distribute such amount in accordance with the terms of Section
4.01(f).
Upon
an
early termination of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement in connection with
the
optional termination of the Trust, if the Trustee (in its capacity as

or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Trust
Administrator shall execute on behalf of the Trust and authenticate and deliver
the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled
to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall (if so required by the Trust Administrator or the Certificate
Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument
of
transfer satisfactory to the Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
In addition, (i) with respect to each Class R Certificate, the holder thereof
may exchange, in the manner described above, such Class R Certificate for
four
separate certificates, each representing such holder’s respective Percentage
Interest in the Class R-1 Interest, the Class R-2 Interest and the Class
R-3
Interest that was evidenced by the Class R Certificate being exchanged and
(ii)
with respect to each Class R-X Certificate, the holder thereof may exchange,
in
the manner described above, such Class R-X Certificate for three separate
certificates, each representing such holder’s respective Percentage Interest in
the Class R-4 Interest, the Class R-5 Interest and the Class R-6 Interest
that
was evidenced by the Class R-X Certificate being exchanged.
(b) Except
as
provided in paragraph (c) below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all
times
remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all
times:
(i) registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trust
Administrator except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain
book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect
to
ownership and transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers
of
registration of such Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be
governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository
may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its
Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master
Servicer and the Depositor may for all purposes deal with the Depository
as
representative of the Certificate Owners of the Certificates for purposes
of
exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and
directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners;
(vi)
the Trust Administrator may rely and shall be fully protected in relying
upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to
indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners; and (vii) the
direct participants of the Depository shall have no rights under this Agreement
under or with respect to any of the Certificates held on their behalf by
the
Depository, and the Depository may be treated by the Trust Administrator
and its
agents, employees, officers and directors as the absolute owner of the
Certificates for all purposes whatsoever.
All
transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made
in
accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or
brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each Depository Participant
shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance
with
the Depository’s normal procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to
execute a Letter of Representations with the Depository or take such other
action as may be necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate
to
the Depository. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such
Letter of Representation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement
shall
control.
(c) If
(i)(x)
the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator in writing
that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable
to
locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence of a Servicer Event
of
Termination or a Master Servicer Event of Termination, the Certificate Owners
of
the Book-Entry Certificates representing Percentage Interests of such Classes
aggregating not less than 51% advise the Trust Administrator and Depository
through the Financial Intermediaries and the Depository Participants in writing
that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository to the
exclusion of definitive, fully registered certificates (the “Definitive
Certificates”) to Certificate Owners is no longer in the best interests of the
Certificate Owners. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the
Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trust Administrator
shall
in the case of (i) and (ii) above, execute on behalf of the Trust and
authenticate the Definitive Certificates. None of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall be liable
for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely
on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate
Registrar, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, any Paying Agent and the Depositor
shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders
hereunder.
(d) No
transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any Class M-10 Certificate,
Class
C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate (the “Private
Certificates”) shall be made unless such disposition is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
accordance with the Securities Act and laws. In the event of any such transfer
(other than in connection with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate
by the Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor or, in the case of the
Class
R-X Certificates, the first transfer by an Affiliate of the Depositor or
the
first transfer by the initial transferee of an Affiliate of the Depositor,
(ii)
the transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate to the
issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii)
a
transfer of any such Class C, Class P or Residual Certificate from the issuer
under the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the
Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor), (x) unless such transfer is
made in
reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment letter delivered
to the
Trust Administrator, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
J)
under the Securities Act, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor shall
require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable
to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trust Administrator
and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption,
describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the Securities
Act or is being made pursuant to the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Administrator or the Depositor or (y)
the
Trust Administrator shall require the transferor to execute a transferor
certificate (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L) and
the
transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit J) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator certifying to the
Depositor and the Trust Administrator the facts surrounding such transfer,
which
investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trust Administrator or the
Depositor. The Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer
shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust Administrator and the
Depositor 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.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of any such transfer of any Ownership Interest
in
any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect
to
the initial transfer of any such Ownership Interest by the Depositor, such
transfer shall be required to be made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, and the transferor will be deemed to have made each of the
transferor representations and warranties set forth Exhibit L hereto in respect
of such interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate and the
transferee will be deemed to have made each of the transferee representations
and warranties set forth Exhibit J hereto in respect of such interest as
if it
was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate. The Certificate Owner of any such
Ownership Interest in any such Book-Entry Certificate desiring to effect
such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trust Administrator
and
the Depositor 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.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no certification or Opinion of Counsel described above in
this
Section 5.02(d) will be required in connection with the transfer, on the
Closing
Date, of any Residual Certificate by the Depositor to an “accredited investor”
within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Securities Act.
No
transfer of any Class C Certificate shall be made unless the transferee of
such
Class C Certificate provides to the Trust Administrator, the Swap Provider
and
the Interest Rate Cap Provider the appropriate tax certification form (i.e.,
IRS
Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY, or W-8ECI, as applicable (or
any successor thereto))
as a
condition to such transfer and agrees to update
such forms (i) upon expiration of any such form, (ii) as required under then
applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations and (iii) promptly upon learning that
any
IRS Form W-9
or
IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY, or W-8ECI, as applicable
(or any successor thereto), has become obsolete or incorrect. In addition,
no
transfer of any Class C Certificate shall be made if such transfer would
cause
the Supplemental Interest Trust or the Cap Account to be beneficially owned
by
two or more persons for federal income tax purposes, or continue to be so
treated, unless (a) each proposed transferee of such Class C Certificate
complies with the foregoing conditions, (b) the proposed majority Holder
of the
Class C Certificates (or each Holder, if there is or would be no majority
Holder) (A) provides, or causes to be provided, on behalf of the Supplemental
Interest Trust and the Cap Account, if applicable, the appropriate tax
certification form that would be required from the Supplemental Interest
Trust
or the Cap Account, as applicable, to eliminate any withholding or deduction
for
taxes from amounts payable by the Swap Provider or the Interest Rate Cap
Provider, pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement or the Interest Rate
Cap
Agreement, to the Trust Administrator, the Swap Provider and the Interest
Rate
Cap Provider on behalf of the Supplemental Interest Trust or the Cap Account
(i.e., IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, as applicable (or
any
successor form thereto) as a condition to such transfer, together with any
applicable attachments) and (B) agrees to update such form (x) upon expiration
of any such form, (y) as required under then applicable U.S. Treasury
regulations and (z) promptly upon learning that such form has become obsolete
or
incorrect. If, under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, such tax
certification form may only be signed by a trustee acting on behalf of the
Supplemental Interest Trust or the Cap Account, then the Supplemental Interest
Trust Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall sign such
certification form if so requested by a Holder of the Class C
Certificates.
Upon
receipt of any such tax certification form from a transferee of any Class
C
Certificate pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Trust
Administrator shall provide a copy of any such tax certification form to
the
Swap Provider and the Interest Rate Cap Provider, upon its request, solely
to
the extent the Swap Provider or the Interest Rate Cap Provider has not received
such IRS Form directly from the Holder of the Class C Certificates. Each
Holder
of a Class C Certificate by its purchase of such Certificate is deemed to
consent to any such IRS Form being so forwarded. Upon the request of the
Swap
Provider or the Interest Rate Cap Provider, the Trust Administrator shall
be
required to forward any tax certification received by it to the Swap Provider
or
the Interest Rate Cap Provider at the last known address provided to it,
and,
subject to Section 8.01, shall not be liable for the receipt of such tax
certification by the Swap Provider or the Interest Rate Cap Provider, nor
any
action taken or not taken by the Swap Provider or the Interest Rate Cap Provider
with respect to such tax certification. Any purported sales or transfers
of any
Class C Certificate to a transferee which does not comply with the requirements
of the preceding paragraph shall be deemed null and void under this Agreement.
The Trust Administrator shall have no duty to take any action to correct
any
misstatement or omission in any tax certification provided to it by the Holder
of the Class C Certificates and forwarded to the Swap Provider or the Interest
Rate Cap Provider.
No
transfer of a Class C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate
or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan, any Person acting, directly
or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such
Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the Department
of Labor regulation promulgated at 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 (“Plan Assets”), as
certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit M, unless the Trust
Administrator is provided with an Opinion of Counsel for the benefit of the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the
Servicer and on which they may rely which establishes to the satisfaction
of the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer and the Master Servicer
that
the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will
not
constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section
4975
of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Fund to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA
or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust
Fund.
Neither a certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection
with (i) the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to
an
Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the transfer of any such Class C Certificate,
Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate to the issuer under the Indenture
or
the indenture trustee under the Indenture or (iii) a transfer of any such
Class
C Certificate, Class P Certificate or Residual Certificate from the issuer
under
the Indenture or the indenture trustee under the Indenture to the Depositor
or
an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate
thereof shall have deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not
a Plan
or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Trust Administrator shall be entitled
to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the
Trust
Administrator shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the
status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.
For
so
long as the Supplemental Interest Trust is in existence, each beneficial
owner
of a Floating Rate Certificate or any interest therein, shall be deemed to
have
represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of the Floating Rate
Certificate, or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or (ii)
(A)
it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Prohibited Transaction
Exemption (“PTE”) 90-59, 55 Fed. Reg. 36724 (September 6, 1990), as amended by
PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021 (July 21, 1997), PTE 2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg.
67765
(November 13, 2000) and PTE 2002-41, 67 Fed. Reg. 54487 (August 22, 2002)
(the
“Exemption”) and (B) the acquisition and holding of such Certificate and the
separate right to receive payments from the Supplemental Interest Trust are
eligible for the exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction
Class
Exemption (“PTCE”) 84-14, 91-38, 90-1, 95-60 or 96-23, in the case of a Floating
Rate Certificate (other than a Class M-10 Certificate) or PTCE 95-60, in
the
case of a Class M-10 Certificate.
Subsequent
to the termination of the Supplemental Interest Trust, each Transferee of
a
Mezzanine Certificate will be deemed to have represented by virtue of its
purchase or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) that either
(a)
such Transferee is not a Plan or purchasing such Certificate with Plan Assets,
(b) except in the case of a Class M-10 Certificate, 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 such Certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than
“BBB-” (or its equivalent) by a Rating Agency or (c) the following conditions
are satisfied: (i) such Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source
of
funds used to purchase or hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is
an
“insurance company general account” (as defined in PTCE 95-60), and (iii) the
conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied.
If
any
Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of the
provisions of the three preceding paragraphs, the next preceding permitted
beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any
purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate
or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the three
preceding paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the
Master
Servicer, the Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee and the Trust
from
and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by
those
parties as a result of that acquisition or holding.
Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably
appointed the Depositor or its designee as its attorney-in-fact to negotiate
the
terms of any mandatory sale under clause (v) below and to execute all
instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection
with
any such sale, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest
in
a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(i) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trust
Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(ii) No
Person
shall acquire an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate unless such
Ownership Interest is a pro
rata
undivided interest.
(iii) In
connection with any proposed transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Trust Administrator shall as a condition to registration
of the
transfer, require delivery to it, in form and substance satisfactory to it,
of
each of the following:
|
(A)
|
an
affidavit in the form of Exhibit K hereto from the proposed transferee
to
the effect that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee and that
it is
not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate
that is
the subject of the proposed transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent
for
any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee;
and
|
|
(B)
|
a
covenant of the proposed transferee to the effect that the proposed
transferee agrees to be bound by and to abide by the transfer restrictions
applicable to the Residual
Certificates.
|
(iv) Any
attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be absolutely
null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. If any
purported transferee shall, in violation of the provisions of this Section,
become a Holder of a Residual Certificate, then the prior Holder of such
Residual Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee shall, upon discovery
that
the registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact
permitted by this Section, be restored to all rights as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of transfer of such Residual
Certificate. The Trust 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 or for making any distributions due on such Residual
Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to
such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Trust
Administrator received the documents specified in clause (iii). The Trust
Administrator shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a Residual
Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time such
distributions were made all distributions made on such Residual Certificate.
Any
such distributions so recovered by the Trust Administrator shall be distributed
and delivered by the Trust Administrator to the prior Holder of such Residual
Certificate that is a Permitted Transferee.
(v) If
any
Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest
in a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then
the
Trust Administrator shall have the right but not the obligation, without
notice
to the Holder of such Residual Certificate or any other Person having an
Ownership Interest therein, to notify the Depositor to arrange for the sale
of
such Residual Certificate. The proceeds of such sale, net of commissions
(which
may include commissions payable to the Depositor or its affiliates in connection
with such sale), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the
Trust
Administrator to the previous Holder of such Residual Certificate that is
a
Permitted Transferee, except that in the event that the Trust Administrator
determines that the Holder of such Residual Certificate may be liable for
any
amount due under this Section or any other provisions of this Agreement,
the
Trust Administrator may withhold a corresponding amount from such remittance
as
security for such claim. The terms and conditions of any sale under this
clause
(v) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Trust Administrator
and it
shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(vi) If
any
Person other than a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership Interest
in a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section, then
the
Trust Administrator upon receipt of reasonable compensation will provide
to the
Internal Revenue Service, and to the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3)
and (6) of the Code, information needed to compute the tax imposed under
Section
860E(e)(5) of the Code on transfers of residual interests to disqualified
organizations.
The
foregoing provisions of this Section shall cease to apply to transfers occurring
on or after the date on which there shall have been delivered to the Trust
Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trust Administrator,
(i) written notification from each Rating Agency that the removal of the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section will not cause such Rating
Agency to downgrade its rating of the Certificates and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such removal will not cause any REMIC created
hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(e) No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange
of
Certificates of any Class, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
All
Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be
canceled by the Certificate Registrar and disposed of pursuant to its standard
procedures.
| SECTION 5.04 |
Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
|
If
(i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or
the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee,
the
Depositor and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may
be
required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
to the Trust Administrator, or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trust Administrator shall
execute on behalf of the Trust, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like tenor and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any
new
Certificate under this Section, the Trust Administrator or the Certificate
Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar) in connection therewith. Any duplicate Certificate issued pursuant
to
this Section, shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership
in the Trust, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
| SECTION 5.05 |
Persons
Deemed Owners.
|
The
Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, any Paying Agent and any agent
of the
Servicer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar or any Paying Agent may treat the Person, including
a
Depository, in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section
4.01
and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar
or any
Paying Agent nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to
the
contrary.
| SECTION 5.06 |
Appointment
of Paying Agent.
|
(a) The
Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders from the
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 4.01. The duties of the Paying Agent
may include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.11(a) and for the purpose of making the distributions
referred to above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide information
to
Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall
at
all times be an entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws
of the
United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws
to
exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination
by
federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trust
Administrator.

or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, the Master

entity into which the Servicer, the Master Servicer or Depositor may be merged
or consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Servicer the Master Servicer or the Depositor
shall
be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Servicer

Limitation
on Liability of the Servicer, the Master Servicer and
Others.
|
Neither

or
officers or employees or agents of the Master Servicer, the Servicer or the
Depositor shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders
for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the
Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Depositor in good faith pursuant to
this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Master Servicer, the Servicer, the Depositor or any
such
Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of
its
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties
of the
Master Servicer, the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, or by
reason
of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of the Master Servicer,
the Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, hereunder; provided, further,

costs and liabilities of the Trust and the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
or
the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection
Account as and to the extent provided in Section 3.11, any such right of
reimbursement being prior to the rights of the Certificateholders to receive
any
amount in the Collection Account. The Master Servicer’s and the Servicer’s right
to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall survive any

arising prior to such resignation or termination (or arising from events
that
occurred prior to such resignation or termination). This paragraph shall

except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible
under applicable law. Any such determination pursuant to the preceding sentence
permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion
of
Counsel to such effect obtained at the expense of the Servicer and delivered
to
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer. No resignation
of
the Servicer shall become effective until the Master Servicer or (if the
Master
Servicer is the Servicer) the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have
assumed
the Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than those
liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and obligations
under this Agreement.
Except
as
expressly provided herein, the Servicer 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 the Servicer hereunder.
The
foregoing prohibition on assignment shall not prohibit the Servicer from
designating a Sub-Servicer as payee of any indemnification amount payable
to the
Servicer hereunder; provided, however, no Sub-Servicer shall be a third-party
beneficiary hereunder and the parties hereto shall not be required to recognize
any Subservicer as an indemnitee under this Agreement.
The
Master Servicer may sell, assign or delegate its rights, duties and obligations
as Master Servicer under this Agreement in their entirety; provided, however,
that: (i) the purchaser or transferee accepting such sale, assignment and
delegation (a) shall be a Person qualified to service mortgage loans for
Xxxxxx
Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac; (b) shall have a net worth of not less than $50,000,000
(unless otherwise approved by each Rating Agency pursuant to clause (ii)
below);
(c) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (as evidenced in a writing
signed by the Trustee); and (d) 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 from and after the effective date of
such
assumption agreement; (ii) each Rating Agency shall be given prior written
notice of the identity of the proposed successor to the Master Servicer and
shall confirm in writing to the Master Servicer and the Trustee that any
such
sale, assignment or delegation would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading
of the rating on any Class of Certificates in effect immediately prior to
such
sale, assignment or delegation; and (iii) the Master Servicer shall deliver
to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that all conditions precedent to such action under this Agreement have been
fulfilled and such action is permitted by and complies with the terms of
this
Agreement. No such sale, assignment or delegation shall affect any liability
of
the Master Servicer arising prior to the effective date thereof.

Successor
Master Servicer.

In
connection with the appointment of any successor Master Servicer or the
assumption of the duties of the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee
may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor Master
Servicer out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as the Depositor or the Trustee
and such successor Master Servicer shall agree. If the successor Master Servicer
does not agree that such market value is a fair price, such successor Master
Servicer shall obtain two quotations of market value from third parties actively
engaged in the master servicing of single-family mortgage loans. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the compensation payable to a successor Master Servicer may
not
exceed the compensation which the Master Servicer would have been entitled
to
retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act as Master Servicer
hereunder.
| SECTION 6.06 |
Delegation
of Duties.
|
In
the
ordinary course of business, the Servicer at any time may delegate any of
its
duties hereunder to any Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees
to
conduct such duties in accordance with standards comparable to those set
forth
in Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its
liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and shall not
constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 6.04. Except as provided
in Section 3.02, no such delegation is permitted that results in the delegee
subservicing any Mortgage Loans.
| SECTION 6.07 |
[Reserved].

good faith pursuant to this Agreement, in reliance upon information provided

the Trust Administrator shall terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the

to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof and the Master Servicer or the Trustee
(as
successor master servicer and servicer),
or a

aggregating not less than 51%, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer
(and to the Trust Administrator if given by Holders of Certificates), terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer as servicer under this
Agreement. Any such notice to the Servicer shall also be given to each Rating

to
receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior
to
the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances, Servicing
Advances, accrued Servicing Fees or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled
to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with
respect to events occurring prior to such termination). All reasonable costs
and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring
the Mortgage Files to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement
to
reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid
by
the predecessor Servicer (or if the predecessor Servicer is the Trustee,
the
initial Servicer) upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs
and expenses and to the extent not paid by the Servicer, by the Trust.
(b) “Master
Servicer Event of Termination,” wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:

Master Servicer fails to cause to be deposited in the Distribution Account
any
amount so required to be deposited pursuant to this Agreement (other than

Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring
the
same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer;
or
(2) the
Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any material respect any other
material covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement to be performed
by
it, which covenants and agreements materially affect the rights of
Certificateholders, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of
60
days after the date on which written notice of such failure, properly requiring
the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by
the
Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates
evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights; or
(3) there
is
entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order by a court or agency
or
supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment
of
a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of
debt,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding
up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree
or
order is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or an
involuntary case is commenced against the Master Servicer under any applicable
insolvency or reorganization statute and the petition is not dismissed within
60
days after the commencement of the case; or
(4) the
Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver
or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets
and
liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer
or
substantially all of its property; or the Master Servicer admits in writing
its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition

(6) any
failure of the Master Servicer to make any Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable
Advance) required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.03 by
5:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution
Date.
In
each
and every such case, so long as such Master Servicer Event of Termination
with
respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee
or the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the Voting
Rights, by notice in writing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer (and to
the
Trustee if given by such Certificateholders), with a copy to the Rating
Agencies, may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the
liabilities) of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and/or the REO Property master serviced by the Master Servicer
and the proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of the
written
notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, REO Property
or
under any other related agreements (but only to the extent that such other
agreements relate to the Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject
to Section 7.03, automatically and without further action pass to and be
vested in the Trustee(as successor master servicer and servicer) pursuant
to
this Section 7.01(b); and, without limitation, the Trustee (as successor
master servicer and servicer) is hereby authorized and empowered to execute
and
deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise,
any
and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other
acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice
of
termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment
of
the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer
agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the
Master
Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Trustee of (i) the property and amounts which are then or
should
be part of the Trust Fund or which thereafter become part of the Trust Fund;
and
(ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably
requested by the Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s duties
thereunder. In addition to any other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding
the termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable
to
the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related
REO Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received
as
reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of termination had not been
given.
The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall
not
affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such
termination.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a Master Servicer Event of Termination described in clause
(v)
of this Section 7.01(b) shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter
arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may
have as
a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of Advances and other advances of
its
own funds, and the Trustee shall (as successor master servicer) act as provided
in Section 7.03 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including
the obligation to make any Advance the nonpayment of which was a Master Servicer
Event of Termination described in clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(b). Any
such action taken by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator must be prior
to the
distribution on the relevant Distribution Date.
| SECTION 7.02 |
Master
Servicer or Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor
Servicer.
|
(a) Within
90
days of the time the Servicer (and the Trustee, if notice is sent by the
Holders) receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or 6.04,
the
Master Servicer or (if the Master Servicer is the Servicer) the Trustee (or
such
other successor Servicer as is approved in accordance with this Agreement)
shall
be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer
under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein
and
shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating
thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof arising
on and
after its succession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree
that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, in its capacity as successor Servicer,
immediately will assume all of the obligations of the Servicer to make advances.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, in its
capacity as successor Servicer, shall not be responsible for the lack of
information and/or documents that it cannot obtain through reasonable efforts.
As compensation therefor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee (or such other
successor Servicer) shall be entitled to such compensation as the Servicer
would
have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination had been
given.
Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Master Servicer or the Trustee is
unwilling to act as successor Servicer or (ii) if the Master Servicer or
the
Trustee is legally unable so to act, the Master Servicer or Trustee shall
appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution, bank or other mortgage
loan or
home equity loan servicer having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000
as the
successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part
of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder; provided,
that the appointment of any such successor Servicer will not result in the
qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the
Certificates by the Rating Agencies as evidenced by a letter to such effect
from
the Rating Agencies. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer
hereunder, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall act in such capacity
as
hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption,
the
successor shall be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Mortgage
Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Servicer would otherwise
have received pursuant to Section 3.18 (or such other compensation as the
Master
Servicer or the Trustee and such successor shall agree, not to exceed the
Servicing Fee). The appointment of a successor Servicer shall not affect
any
liability of the predecessor Servicer which may have arisen under this Agreement
prior to its termination as Servicer to pay any deductible under an insurance
policy pursuant to Section 3.14 or to reimburse the Master Servicer or Trustee
pursuant to Section 3.06), nor shall any successor Servicer be liable for
any
acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer or for any breach by such Servicer
of any of its representations or warranties contained herein or in any related
document or agreement. The Master Servicer or the Trustee and such successor
shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary
to
effectuate any such succession. All Servicing Transfer Costs shall be paid
by
the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of
such
costs, and if such predecessor Servicer defaults in its obligation to pay
such
costs, such costs shall be paid by the successor Servicer, the Master Servicer
or the Trustee (in which case the successor Servicer, the Master Servicer
or the
Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor from
the
assets of the Trust).
(b) Any
successor to the Servicer, including the Master Servicer or the Trustee,
shall
during the term of its service as servicer continue to service and administer
the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Certificateholders, and maintain in
force
a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions in the
performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond
in
respect of its officers, employees and agents to the same extent as the Servicer
is so required pursuant to Section 3.14.
(c) In
connection with the resignation, removal or expiration of the term of the
Servicer hereunder, or in connection with the resignation or removal of any
successor to the Servicer (or any other successor to the Servicer appointed
hereunder) acting as successor Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor
Servicer, (or any other successor to the Servicer appointed hereunder) acting
as
successor Servicer hereunder, shall represent and warrant that it is a member
of
MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects
with
the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the
Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the predecessor
Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to revise
its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Servicer
as
necessary under MERS’ rules and regulations or (ii) the predecessor Servicer
shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute and
deliver an assignment of Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage
from MERS to the Master Servicer or the Trustee and to execute and deliver
such
other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable
to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing of such Mortgage
Loan on
the MERS® System to the successor Servicer. The predecessor Servicer shall file
or cause to be filed any such assignment in the appropriate recording office.
The predecessor Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing
any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and costs of filing any assignments
of
Mortgage that may be required under this paragraph.
| SECTION 7.03 |
Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor Master
Servicer.
|
(a) Upon
the
receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of termination pursuant to
Section 7.01(b) or an Opinion of Counsel rendered by Independent counsel
pursuant to Section 6.05(b) to the effect that the Master Servicer is
legally unable to act or to delegate its duties to a Person which is legally
able to act, the Trustee shall automatically become the successor in all
respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and
the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall thereafter be subject
to
all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof; provided, however, that the Trustee (i) shall have no obligation
whatsoever with respect to any liability (other than Advances deemed recoverable
and not previously made) incurred by the Master Servicer at or prior to the
time
of termination and (ii) shall not be obligated to perform any obligation
of the
Master Servicer under Section 3.20 or 3.21 with respect to any period of
time
during which the Trustee was not the Master Servicer. As compensation therefor,
but subject to Section 6.05, the Trustee shall be entitled to compensation
which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master
Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts due the
Master
Servicer as reimbursement permitted under this Agreement for advances previously
made or expenses previously incurred. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee
may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable
so to
act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution which is a Xxxxxx Xxx- or
Xxxxxxx Mac-approved servicer, and with respect to a successor to the Master
Servicer only, having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000, as the successor
to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of
the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder;
provided, that the Depositor shall obtain consent and a letter or other evidence
each Rating Agency that the ratings, if any, on each of the Certificates
will
not be lowered as a result of the selection of the successor to the Master
Servicer. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder,
the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection
with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements
for
the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans
as it
and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that the provisions of
Section 6.05 shall apply, the compensation shall not be in excess of that
which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer
had
continued to act hereunder, and that such successor shall undertake and assume
the obligations of the Trustee to pay compensation to any third Person acting
as
an agent or independent contractor in the performance of master servicing
responsibilities hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate
any
such succession.
If
the
Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator are the same entity, then at
any
time the Master Servicer resigns or is removed as Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator shall also be removed hereunder. All reasonable Master Servicing
Transfer Costs shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer (or, if the
Trustee is the predecessor master servicer, the Trust Fund) upon presentation
of
reasonable documentation of such costs, and if such predecessor Master Servicer
defaults in its obligation to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by
the
successor Master Servicer or the Trustee (in which case the successor Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor from the assets of the Trust Fund).
If
the
Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master Servicer respecting the
Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a separate capacity
and not
in its capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VIII
shall be inapplicable to the Trustee in its duties as the successor to the
Master Servicer in the master servicing of the Mortgage Loans (although such
provisions shall continue to apply to the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee);
the provisions of Article VI, however, shall apply to it in its capacity
as
successor Master Servicer.
| SECTION 7.04 |
Waiver
of Defaults.
|
The
Majority Certificateholders may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive
any
events permitting removal of the Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article
VII, provided, however, that the Majority Certificateholders may not waive
a
default in making a required distribution on a Certificate without the consent
of the Holder of such Certificate. Upon any waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist and any Master Servicer Event of Termination
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 thereto except to the extent expressly so
waived.
Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee, as applicable, to the Rating Agencies.
| SECTION 7.05 |
Notification
to Certificateholders.
|
(a) Upon
any
termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer or the Master Servicer
pursuant to this Article VII or Section 6.04, the Trust Administrator, or
in the
event of the termination of the Master Servicer, the Trustee (or such other
trust administrator) shall give prompt written notice thereof to the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and each Rating Agency.
(b) No
later
than 60 days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or which,
with
notice or a lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Event of
Termination or a Master Servicer Event of Termination for five Business Days
after a Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator (in the case of a
Servicer Event of Termination) or the Trustee (in the case of a Master Servicer
Event of Termination) becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the
Trust Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, shall transmit by mail to
the
Credit Risk Manager and all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence
unless
such default, Servicer Event of Termination or Master Servicer Event of
Termination shall have been waived or cured.
| SECTION 7.06 |
Survivability
of Servicer and Master Servicer
Liabilities.
|
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, upon termination of the Servicer or the
Master
Servicer hereunder, any liabilities of the Servicer or the Master Servicer,
as
applicable, which accrued prior to such termination shall survive such
termination.
ARTICLE
VIII
THE
TRUSTEE AND THE TRUST ADMINISTRATOR
| SECTION 8.01 |
Duties
of Trustee and Trust Administrator.
|
The
Trustee and the Trust Administrator, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer
Event
of Termination or Master Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing
of
all Servicer Events of Termination or Master Servicer Events of Termination
which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If a Servicer Event of
Termination or Master Servicer Event of Termination has occurred (which has
not
been cured) of which a Responsible Officer has knowledge, each of the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested
in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the
conduct of his own affairs.
Each
of
the Trustee and the Trust 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; provided, however,
that neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator will be responsible
for the
accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents or other instruments. If any such instrument is found
not to
conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall take such action as it deems
appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not
corrected to the Trustee’s or the Trust Administrator’s satisfaction, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, will provide notice thereof
to the Certificateholders.
No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or
the
Trust Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however,
that:
(i) prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination or Master Servicer Event
of
Termination, and after the curing of all such Servicer Events of Termination
or
Master Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the duties
and
obligations of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall be determined
solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties
and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of
the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
as
the case may be, and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement;
(ii) neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable for an
error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or
the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, was negligent in ascertaining
the pertinent facts;
(iii) neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable with respect
to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith
in
accordance with the direction of the Majority Certificateholders relating
to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, or exercising or omitting
to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement;
and
(iv) the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer
to
comply with the obligations of the Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and
(ii)
of Section 7.01(a) or of the existence of any Servicer Event of Termination
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office
obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written
notice
of such failure from the Depositor, the Servicer or the Majority
Certificateholders.
Neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be required to expend or risk
its
own funds or otherwise incur financial liability 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 to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except
during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be
vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
| SECTION 8.02 |
Certain
Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator.
|
(a) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) either
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may request and rely upon, and shall
be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officers’
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal,
bond or
other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have

consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by
Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator may prescribe;
(ii) either

the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be under any obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to

to
the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders, shall have
offered to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may
be
incurred therein or thereby; the right of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator
shall
be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of any such act;
(iv) neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it
to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it
by
this Agreement;
(v) prior
to
the occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination or Master Servicer Event
of
Termination and after the curing of all Servicer Events of Termination or
Master
Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, neither the Trustee
nor
the Trust Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the
facts
or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other
paper
or documents, unless requested in writing to do so by the Majority
Certificateholder; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, 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 Trust Administrator,
as
applicable, not reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
as
applicable, by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement,
the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, may require reasonable
indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to such
proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid
by
the Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as
applicable, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand and, if not
reimbursed by the Servicer, shall be reimbursed by the Trust. Nothing in
this
clause (v) shall derogate from the obligation of the Servicer to observe
any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the
Mortgagors;
(vi) the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall not be accountable, shall have no
liability and make no representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder
of
the Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of
the
Trustee as successor Servicer;
(vii) the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys, custodians or nominees;
(viii) the
right
of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator to perform any discretionary act
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee
shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct
in
the performance of such act;
(ix) neither
the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator shall be personally liable for any
loss
resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account or
the REO
Account made at the direction of the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12;
(x) the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator or its Affiliates are permitted to receive
compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s or the Trust
Administrator’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser,
administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with
respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to
effect
transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions
in certain Permitted Investments. Such compensation shall not be considered
an
amount that is reimbursable or payable pursuant to Section 3.11; and
(xi) the
Depositor hereby directs the Trustee to execute and deliver the PMI Policy
on
behalf of the Trust Fund in the form presented to it by the Depositor. Every
provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
of or affording protection to the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee’s execution
of the PMI Policy, and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of
its
obligations thereunder
In
order
to comply with laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from
time
to time applicable to banking institutions, including those relating to the
funding of terrorist activities and money laundering (“Applicable Law”), the
Trustee is required to obtain, verify and record certain information relating
to
individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the
Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees to provide to the Trustee
upon
its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation
as
may be available for such party in order to enable the Trustee to comply
with
Applicable Law.
| SECTION 8.03 |
Trustee
and Trust Administrator Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
|
The
recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than, with respect
to
the Trust Administrator, the authentication of the Trust Administrator on
the
Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and neither
the
Trustee nor the Trust Administrator assumes responsibility for the correctness
of the same. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust Administrator makes any
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of
the
Certificates (other than, with respect to the Trust Administrator, the signature
and authentication of the Trust Administrator on the Certificates) or of
any
Mortgage Loan or related document or MERS or the MERS® System other than, with
respect to the Trust Administrator, the Trust Administrator’s execution and
authentication of the Certificates. Neither the Trustee nor the Trust
Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Servicer,
or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Servicer in respect
of
the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account
by
the Servicer. The Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall at no time have
any
responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity
and
enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and
priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority,
or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust or its ability to
generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders under this
Agreement, including, without limitation: the existence, condition and ownership
of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and enforceability of any hazard
insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02); the validity of the assignment of any
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee or of any intervening assignment; the completeness
of any Mortgage Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Mortgage Loan
(other
than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant to Section
7.02); the compliance by the Depositor, the Originator, the Seller or the
Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or
in any
related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior
to
the Trustee’s receipt of notice or other discovery of any non-compliance
therewith or any breach thereof; any investment of monies by or at the direction
of the Servicer or any loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that
the
Trust Administrator shall remain responsible for any Trust property that
it may
hold in its individual capacity; the acts or omissions of any of the Servicer
(other than if the Trust Administrator shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02), any Sub-Servicer or any Mortgagor; any action
of the
Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02), or any Sub-Servicer taken in the name of the Trust
Administrator; the failure of a Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to act or perform
any duties required of it as agent of the Trust Administrator hereunder;
or any
action by the Trust Administrator taken at the instruction of the Servicer
(other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Servicer pursuant
to
Section 7.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the
Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the Trustee’s duty to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to
Section 2.01. Neither the Trust Administrator nor the Trustee shall have
responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any
public
office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of
any
security interest or lien granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall
have
become the successor Servicer).
| SECTION 8.04 |
Trustee
and Trust Administrator May Own
Certificates.
|
The
Trustee and the Trust Administrator in its individual or any other capacity
may
become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights as it would
have if it were not Trustee or Trust Administrator may transact any banking
and
trust business with the Originator, the Servicer, the Depositor or their
Affiliates.
| SECTION 8.05 |
Trust
Administrator and Trustee Compensation and
Expenses.
|
(a) The
Trustee will be paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to a side letter between
each other.
(b) The
Trustee, the Trust Administrator or any director, officer, employee or agent
of
any of them, shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against
any loss, liability or expense (not including expenses and disbursements
incurred or made by the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, including the
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel,
in
the ordinary course of the Trustee’s or the Trust Administrator’s performance in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee
or by
the Trust Administrator arising out of or in connection with the acceptance
or
administration of the obligations and duties of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense
(i) resulting from a breach of the Servicer’s or the Master Servicer’s
obligations and duties under this Agreement for which the Trustee or the
Trust
Administrator, as applicable, is indemnified under Section 8.05(b) or (ii)
any
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith
or negligence of the Trustee or of the Trust Administrator, as applicable,
in
the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of the Trustee’s or the
Trust Administrator’s, as applicable, reckless disregard of obligations and
duties hereunder or as a result of a breach of the Trustee’s or the Trust
Administrator’s, as applicable, obligations under Article X hereof. Any amounts
payable to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, in respect of
the
indemnification provided by this Section 8.05, or pursuant to any other right
of
reimbursement from the Trust Fund that the Trustee, the Trust Administrator
or
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, may have hereunder in its capacity as such, may be withdrawn
by
the Trust Administrator from the Distribution Account at any time. The foregoing
indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the
Trust
Administrator.
| SECTION 8.06 |
Eligibility
Requirements for Trustee and Trust
Administrator.
|
Each
of
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereunder shall at all times be an
entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States
of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. If such entity publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital
and
surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus
as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The principal
offices of each of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (other than the
initial Trustee and initial Trust Administrator) shall be in a state with
respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such Trustee
or
Trust Administrator, as applicable, at the time such Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, is appointed Trustee or Trust Administrator,
as
applicable, to the effect that the Trust will not be a taxable entity under
the
laws of such state. In case at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
8.06, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
8.07.
| SECTION 8.07 |
Resignation
or Removal of Trustee or Trust
Administrator.
|
The
Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged
from
the trusts hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor,
the
Servicer, the Master Servicer, each Rating Agency and, if the Trustee is
resigning, to the Trust Administrator, or, if the Trust Administrator is
resigning, to the Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the
Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator,
(which may be the same Person in the event both the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator resign or are removed) by written instrument, in duplicate,
one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or Trust
Administrator, as applicable, and one copy to the successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator. If no successor Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable,
shall have been so appointed and having accepted appointment within 30 days
after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee or
Trust
Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator, as
applicable.
If
the
Trust Administrator and the Master Servicer are the same entity, then at
any
time the Trust Administrator resigns or is removed as Trust Administrator,
the
Master Servicer shall also be removed hereunder.
If
at any
time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor (or in the case of the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee), or if at any time the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt
or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of
its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its property or affairs for
the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor,
the
Servicer or the Master Servicer may remove the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator, as applicable. If the Depositor, the Servicer or the Master
Servicer removes the Trustee or the Trust Administrator under the authority
of
the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall promptly appoint
a
successor Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument,
in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee
or
Trust Administrator so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator.
The
Majority Certificateholders may at any time remove the Trustee or Trust
Administrator by written instrument or instruments delivered to the Servicer,
the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee;
the
Depositor shall thereupon use its best efforts to appoint a successor trustee
in
accordance with this Section.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee or Trust Administrator and appointment
of
a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator pursuant to any of the provisions
of
this Section 8.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment
by
the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Master Servicer and the Trust
Administrator shall at all times be the same Person.
| SECTION 8.08 |
Successor
Trustee.
|
Any
successor Trustee or Trust Administrator appointed as provided in Section
8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Servicer, the
Master Servicer and to its predecessor Trustee or Trust Administrator an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation
or removal of the predecessor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall become
effective, and such successor Trustee or Trust Administrator, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights,
powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect
as
if originally named as Trustee or Trust Administrator. The Depositor, the
Master
Servicer, the Servicer and the predecessor Trustee or Trust Administrator
shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
Trustee Trust Administrator all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
No
successor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall accept appointment as provided
in
this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee
or Trust Administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
8.06
and the appointment of such successor Trustee or Trust Administrator shall
not
result in a downgrading of the Regular Certificates by any Rating Agency,
as
evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Trust Administrator as
provided in this Section 8.08, the successor Trustee or Trust Administrator
shall mail notice of the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trust
Administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses
as
shown in the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency.
Any
Person appointed as successor Trust Administrator pursuant to this Agreement
shall also be required to serve as successor supplemental interest trust
trustee
under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement and
as
successor cap trustee under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
| SECTION 8.09 |
Merger
or Consolidation of Trustee or Trust
Administrator.
|
Any
entity into which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from
any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to the business
of the
Trustee or Trust Administrator, shall be the successor of the Trustee or
the
Trust Administrator hereunder, as applicable, provided such entity shall
be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and 8.08, without the execution
or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
| SECTION 8.10 |
Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
|
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust
or any
Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee
acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act
as
co-Trustee or co-Trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee
or
separate Trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person
or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
such
title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions
of
this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as
the
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of
the
Servicer. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within
15
days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in the case a Servicer
Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone
shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-Trustee or separate
trustee
hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor
trustee under Section 8.06, and no notice to Certificateholders of the
appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under
Section 8.08. The Servicer shall be responsible for the fees of any co-trustee
or separate trustee appointed hereunder.
Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) 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 (it being understood that such
separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without
the
Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of
any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether
as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the
Trustee
shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which
event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title
to
the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised
and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-Trustee, but solely at
the
direction of the Trustee;
(ii) no
trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or
omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the

of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee except that following the
occurrence of a Servicer Event of Termination, the Trustee acting alone may

co-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
VIII. Each separate trustee and co-Trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may

of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.
Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given
to the
Depositor and the Servicer.
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

of the
powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this Agreement. Each of

or in
its capacity as Trustee for the benefit of all Holders of such Certificates,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,

has
been recovered.
(b) The

REMIC shall be as designated in the Preliminary Statement.
(b) The
Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of each REMIC within the
meaning of section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) The
Trust
Administrator shall pay any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of
any
REMIC (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any
administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to any Trust REMIC that
involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), including
the
expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel. The Trust Administrator
shall be entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred pursuant to this
Section
9.01(c) to the extent provided in Section 8.05.
(d) The
Trust
Administrator shall prepare, sign and file, all of the REMICs’ federal and state
tax and information returns (including Form 8811) as the direct representative
each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns
shall be borne by the Trust Administrator.
(e) The
Holder of the Class R Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage
Interest thereof shall be the “tax matters person” as defined in the REMIC
Provisions (the related “Tax Matters Person”) with respect to REMIC
1,
REMIC
2
and
REMIC 3 and shall act as Tax Matters Person for each such REMIC. The Holder
of
the Class R-X Certificate at any time holding the largest Percentage Interest
thereof shall be the Tax Matters Person with respect to REMIC 4,
REMIC
5
and
REMIC 6, and shall act as Tax Matters Person for each such REMIC. The Trust
Administrator, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall perform on behalf
of
each REMIC all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the
responsibility of such REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions, or other
compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or
local
taxing authority. Among its other duties, if required by the Code, the REMIC
Provisions, or other such guidance, the Trust Administrator, as agent for
the
Tax Matters Person, shall provide (i) to the Treasury or other governmental
authority such information as is necessary for the application of any tax
relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any disqualified person
or
organization upon reasonable additional compensation and (ii) to the
Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code
or
REMIC Provisions. The Trust Administrator, as agent for the Tax Matters Person,

request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of any REMIC,
enter
into settlement agreements with any government taxing agency, extend any

Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Servicer and the Holders of Certificates
shall take any action or cause any REMIC to take any action necessary to
create
or maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions
and
shall assist each other as necessary to create or maintain such status. None
of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Servicer or the Holder of any Residual
Certificate shall take any action, cause any REMIC created hereunder to take
any
action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under
the
REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger
the status of such REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a
tax
upon such REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions
as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on prohibited contributions
set forth on Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC
Event”) unless the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Servicer have
received an Opinion of Counsel, (at the expense of the party seeking to take
such action) to the effect that the contemplated action will not endanger
such
status or result in the imposition of such a tax. In addition, prior to taking
any action with respect to any REMIC created hereunder or the assets therein,
or
causing such REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under
the terms of this Agreement, any Holder of a Residual Certificate will consult
with the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Servicer, or their respective
designees, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an
Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to any REMIC, and no such Person
shall
take any such action or cause any REMIC to take any such action as to which
the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer has advised it in
writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
(g) Each
Holder of a Residual Certificate shall pay when due any and all taxes imposed
on
each REMIC created hereunder by federal or state governmental authorities.
To
the extent that such Trust taxes are not paid by a Residual Certificateholder,
the Trust Administrator shall pay any remaining REMIC taxes out of current
or
future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holder of the Residual Certificate
in the REMICs or, if no such amounts are available, out of other amounts
held in
the Distribution Account, and shall reduce amounts otherwise payable to Holders
of regular interests in the related REMIC. Subject to the foregoing, in the
event that a REMIC incurs a state or local tax, including franchise taxes,
as a
result of a determination that such REMIC is domiciled in the State of
California for state tax purposes by virtue of the location of the Servicer,
the
Servicer agrees to pay on behalf of such REMIC when due, any and all state
and
local taxes imposed as a result of such a determination, in the event that
the
Holder of the related Residual Certificate fails to pay such taxes, if any,
when
imposed.
(h) The
Trust
Administrator, as agent for the Tax Matters Person, shall, for federal income
tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC created
hereunder on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.
(i) No
additional contributions of assets shall be made to any REMIC created hereunder,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement with respect to eligible

of
the Depositor, the Servicer , the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator
or
the Trustee shall sell, dispose of, or substitute for any of the Mortgage
Loans,

sell
or dispose of any investments in the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept
any contributions to either REMIC after the Closing Date, unless it has received
an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party causing such sale,
disposition, or substitution) that such disposition, acquisition, substitution,
or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of any REMIC created
hereunder as a REMIC or of the interests therein other than the Residual
Certificates as the regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution
of
interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance
of the
assets transferred or assigned to the Trust Fund (except pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement) or (d) cause any REMIC created hereunder to
be
subject to a tax on prohibited transactions or prohibited contributions pursuant
to the REMIC Provisions.
| SECTION 9.03 |
Indemnification
with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC
Status.
|
(a) In
the
event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC,
or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction
or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent
performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein,
the
Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Servicer,
the
Trust Administrator and the Trust Fund against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting from such negligence;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses
attributable to the action or inaction of the Master Servicer, the Trustee,
the
Trust Administrator, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual Certificate,
as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided
by
the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which the Servicer has relied.
The
foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies
of
the Holder of such Residual Certificate now or hereafter existing at law
or in
equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Servicer
have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance
with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly
permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than
arising
out of a negligent performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations
set
forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to
Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the
Certificates).
(b) In
the
event that any REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC,
or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction
or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent
performance by the Trust Administrator of its duties and obligations set
forth
herein, the Trust Administrator shall indemnify the Trust Fund against any
and
all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Trust
Administrator shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the
action
or inaction of the Servicer, the Depositor or the Holder of such Residual
Certificate, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from
misinformation provided by the Holder of such Residual Certificate on which
the
Trust Administrator has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit
or
restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of such Residual Certificate
now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, in no event shall the Trust Administrator have any liability (1)
for
any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance
with
the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this
Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than arising out of a negligent performance
by the Trust Administrator of its duties and obligations set forth herein,
and
(3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition
to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

TERMINATION
| SECTION 10.01 |
Termination.
|
(a) The
respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee created hereby (other
than the obligation of the Trust
Administrator to
make
certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date
and the
obligation of the Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth)
shall terminate upon notice to the Trust Administrator upon the earliest
of (i)
the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the
Regular
Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase
by the Terminator of the Mortgage Loans as described below and (iv) the
Distribution Date in January 2037. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from
the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the
late
ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date
hereof.
The
Servicer (in such context, the “Terminator”), may, at its option, terminate this
Agreement on any date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the
Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments of principal due
during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced, and
unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment
Period) on such date is equal to or less than 10% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date by purchasing,
on
the next succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding Mortgage Loans
and
REO Properties at a price equal to the greater of (i) the Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect to scheduled payments
of
principal due during the related Due Period, to the extent received or advanced,
and unscheduled collections of principal received during the related Prepayment
Period) and the appraised value of the REO Properties and (ii) fair market
value
of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (as determined and as agreed upon
as of
the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon
which notice of any such termination is furnished to the related
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 10.01(c) by (x) the Terminator, (y)
the
Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates
and (z)
if the Floating Rate Certificates will not receive all amounts owed to it
as a
result of the termination, the Trust Administrator, provided that if this
clause
(z) applies to such determination, such determination shall be based solely
upon
an appraisal obtained as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph),
plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the weighted average of the Mortgage
Rates through the end of the Due Period preceding the final Distribution
Date
plus unreimbursed Servicing Advances, Advances, any unpaid Servicing Fees
allocable to such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties and any accrued and unpaid
Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts and any Swap Termination Payment payable to
the
Swap Provider (the “Termination Price”); provided, however, such option may only
be exercised if the Termination Price is sufficient to result in the payment
of
all interest accrued on, as well as amounts necessary to retire the principal
balance of, each class of notes issued pursuant to the Indenture. In addition,
to the extent that the Servicer has not exercised such option, the Master
Servicer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement on any date on which
the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans (after giving effect
to
scheduled payments of principal due during the related Due Period, to the
extent
received or advanced, and unscheduled collections of principal received during
the related Prepayment Period) on such date is equal to or less than 5% of
the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date
by purchasing, on the next succeeding Distribution Date, all of the outstanding
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the Termination Price.
If
the determination of the fair market value of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties shall be required to be made and agreed upon by the Terminator,
the
Holders of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates
and the
Trust Administrator as provided in (ii) above, such determination shall be
based
on an appraisal of the value of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties conducted
by an independent appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Terminator, the Holders
of a majority in Percentage Interest in the Class C Certificates and the
Trust
Administrator in their reasonable discretion, and (A) such appraisal shall
be
obtained at no expense to the Trustee and (B) the Trust Administrator may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such
appraisal.
By
acceptance of a Residual Certificate, the Holders of the Residual Certificates
agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign and transfer
any
amounts in excess of par, and to the extent received in respect of such
termination, to pay any such amounts to the Holders of the Class C
Certificates.
(b) In
connection with any termination pursuant to this Section 10.01:
(1) At
least
twenty (20) days prior to the latest date on which notice of such optional
termination is required to be mailed to the Certificateholders, the Terminator
shall notify in writing (which may be done in electronic format), the Trust
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Swap Provider and the Trustee of
the
final Distribution Date on which the Terminator intends to terminate the
Trust
Fund;
(2) No
later
than 4:00 pm (New York City time) four (4) Business Days prior to the final

provisions of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) (which may be done in electronic
format) and by phone, the Terminator, the Trust Administrator, the Master
Servicer and the Trustee of the amount of the Estimated Swap Termination
Payment; and
(3) Three
(3)
Business Days prior to the final Distribution Date specified in the notices
required pursuant to Sections 10.01, (x) the Terminator shall, no
later than 1:00 pm (New
York
City time) on such day, deliver to the Trust Administrator and the Trust
Administrator shall deposit funds in the Distribution Account in an amount
equal
to the sum of the Termination Price (which shall be based on the Estimated
Swap
Termination Payment), and (y) if the Trust Administrator shall have received
an
Officer’s Certificate stating that all of the requirements for Optional
Termination have been met, including without limitation the deposit required
pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (x) as well as the requirements
specified in Section 10.01, then the Trust Administrator shall, on the same
Business Day, provide written notice (which may be done in electronic format)
to
the Terminator and the Swap Provider (in accordance with the applicable
provision of the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) confirming (a) its receipt
of the
Termination Price (which shall be based on the Estimated Swap Termination
Payment), and (b) that all other requirements specified in Section 10.01
have
been met (the “Optional Termination Notice”). Upon the delivery of the Optional
Termination Notice by the Trust Administrator pursuant to the preceding
sentence, (i) the optional termination shall become irrevocable, (ii) the
notice
to Certificateholders of such optional termination provided pursuant to Section
10.01 shall become unrescindable, (iii) the Swap Provider shall determine
the
Swap Termination Payment in accordance with the Interest Rate Swap Agreement
(which shall not exceed the Estimated Swap Termination Payment), and (iv)
the
Swap Provider shall provide to the Trust Administrator written notice of
the
amount of the Swap Termination Payment not later than two (2) Business Days
prior to the final Distribution Date specified in the notices required pursuant
to Sections 10.01.
Upon
a
termination pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Trustee shall assign to the
Terminator each of the representations and warranties made by the Originator
and
the Seller pursuant to the Master Agreement and the Assignment Agreement,
without recourse, representation or warranty.
In
connection with any such purchase pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Terminator
shall deposit in the Distribution Account all amounts then on deposit in
the
Collection Account, which deposit shall be deemed to have occurred immediately
preceding such purchase.
Any
such
purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the Distribution Account on
the
Determination Date before such Distribution Date of the Termination
Price.
(b) Notice
of
any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (which shall be a date
that
would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders
may
surrender their Certificates to the Trust Administrator for payment of the
final
distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trust
Administrator upon the Trust Administrator receiving notice of such date
from
the Terminator, by letter to the Certificateholders mailed not earlier than
the
15th
day and
not later than the 25th
day of
the month next preceding the month of such final distribution specifying
(1) the
Distribution Date upon which final distribution of the Certificates will
be made
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office or agency
of
the Trust Administrator therein designated, (2) the amount of any such final
distribution and (3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of
the
Trust Administrator therein specified.
(c) Upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trust Administrator shall
cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Certificates on the Distribution
Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests
of
their respective Class and to the extent that funds are available for such
purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be distributed to such
Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01 for such Distribution
Date. By acceptance of the Residual Certificates, the Holders of the Residual
Certificates agree, in connection with any termination hereunder, to assign
and
transfer any amounts in excess of the par value of the Mortgage Loans, and
to
the extent received in respect of such termination, to pay any such amounts
to
the Holders of the Class C Certificates.
(d) In
the
event that all Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates
for
final payment and cancellation on or before such final Distribution Date,
the
Trust Administrator shall promptly following such date cause all funds in
the
Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders
to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Certificateholders
by
depositing such funds in a separate Servicing Account for the benefit of
such
Certificateholders, and the Servicer (if the Servicer has exercised its right
to
purchase the Mortgage Loans) or the Trust Administrator (in any other case)
shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders, to
surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution
with respect thereto. If within nine months after the second notice all the
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Residual
Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets
which remain subject hereto, and the Trust Administrator upon transfer of
such
funds shall be discharged of any responsibility for such funds, and the
Certificateholders shall look to the Residual Certificateholders for
payment.
| SECTION 10.02 |
Additional
Termination Requirements.
|
(a) In
the
event that the Terminator exercises its purchase option as provided in Section
10.01, each REMIC shall be terminated in accordance with the following
additional requirements, unless the Trust Administrator shall have been
furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the
Trust
to comply with the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the
imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust as defined in
Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause any REMIC constituting part of the
Trust
Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding:
(i) Within
90
days prior to the final Distribution Date, the Terminator shall adopt and
the
Trust Administrator shall sign a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC

of
the plan of complete liquidation.
(b) By
their
acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to appoint the
Trust Administrator as their attorney in fact to: (i) adopt such a plan of
complete liquidation (and the Certificateholders hereby appoint the Trust
Administrator as their attorney in fact to sign such plan) as appropriate
and
(ii) to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably
required to carry out such plan of complete liquidation all in accordance
with

of any Class of Certificates (as evidenced by either (i) an Opinion of Counsel
delivered to the Trustee or (ii) written notice to the Depositor, the Servicer,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee from each Rating Agency that such action
will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding
Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency) in a manner
other than as described in clause (x) above, without the consent of the Holders
of Certificates of such Class evidencing at least a 66% Percentage Interest
in
such Class, or (z) reduce the percentage of Voting Rights required by clause
(y)
above without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class
then
outstanding. Upon approval of an amendment, a copy of such amendment shall
be
sent to the Rating Agencies.
Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless
it
shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel, delivered by (and at the
expense of) the Person seeking such Amendment, to the effect that such amendment
will not result in the imposition of a tax on any REMIC created hereunder
constituting part of the Trust Fund pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause
any REMIC created hereunder constituting part of the Trust to fail to qualify
as
a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding and that the amendment
is being made in accordance with the terms hereof.
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 or trustee) without the prior written consent of the Swap Provider,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.
Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment the Trust Administrator shall furnish,
at the expense of the Person that requested the amendment if such Person
is the
Servicer (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator), otherwise at the expense of the Trust, a copy of such amendment
and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph
to
the Servicer and each Rating Agency.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section
11.01
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment; instead 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 Trust Administrator may prescribe.
The
Trustee and the Trust Administrator may, but neither shall be obligated to,
enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section 11.01 that affects its
rights,
duties and 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 the counties
or
other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject
to
the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording
office
or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Servicer at the expense
of
the Trust, but only upon direction of the Certificateholders accompanied
by an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and
beneficially affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For
the
purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided
and
for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any
number
of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original,
and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.
| SECTION 11.03 |
Limitation
on Rights of Certificateholders.
|
The
death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not (i) operate to terminate
this
Agreement or the Trust, (ii) entitle such Certificateholder’s legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, or (iii)
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
Except
as
expressly provided for herein, no Certificateholder shall have any right
to vote
or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust,
or
the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth
or
contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so as to constitute
the
Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association;
nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person
by
reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any
provision hereof.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this
Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
upon
or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously
shall
have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance
thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made written request
upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own
name as
Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to
be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 15 days after its receipt
of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused
to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended,
and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of any provision of
this
Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any
other
of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference
to any other such Holder, which priority or preference is not otherwise provided
for herein, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner
herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions
of this
Section 11.03 each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled
to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
| SECTION 11.04 |

Law; Jurisdiction.

action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in any
inconvenient forum and further irrevocably waives the right to object, with
respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court,
that such court does not have jurisdiction over such party, provided that
service of process has been made by any lawful means.

Such

among active participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice
of

the
parties shall comply, with requests made by the Depositor for delivery of

the provisions of Regulation AB.

This

as
Soundview Home Loan Trust 2006-EQ2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-EQ2
(herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trust 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 thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trust Administrator.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business
Day
immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to
the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business
on
the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed
to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs
on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address
of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register
or by
wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trust
Administrator or the Trust Administrator’s agent specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trust
Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement
at
any time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust

of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment,
as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of
any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of
transfer at the offices or agencies of the Trust Administrator as provided
in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the
same
Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer,
the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none
of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer may purchase,
in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined

This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is

of the Trust Administrator.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day

The

as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this

Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of
any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of

in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement accompanied by a written instrument of

authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the
same
Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and

evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No

but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer,
the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none
of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
On

Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer may purchase,

This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Soundview Home Loan Trust 2006-EQ2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-EQ2
(herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trust 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 thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trust Administrator.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business
Day
immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to
the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business
on
the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed
to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs
on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address
of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register
or by
wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trust
Administrator or the Trust Administrator’s agent specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trust
Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement
at
any time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage
of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment,
as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of
any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of
transfer at the offices or agencies of the Trust Administrator as provided
in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the
same
Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer,
the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none
of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer may purchase,
in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined
as
provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination
occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will

The

look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trust 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

This
Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference is
made to
the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights, benefits,
obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trust Administrator.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of

immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to
the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business
on
the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage

to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs
on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address
of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register
or by

distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trust
Administrator or the Trust Administrator’s agent specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment

of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of
any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of

in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the
same
Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No

but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer,
the

Administrator or the Trustee referred to below or any of their respective
affiliates.
This

subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and by which such Holder is bound.
This

In
addition, any distribution of the proceeds of any remaining assets of the
Trust
will be made only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the
Office or the office or agency maintained by the Trust
Administrator.
No
transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless such transfer
is
made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and any
applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements
under said Act and such laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made
in
reliance upon an exemption from the Act and such laws, in order to assure
compliance with the Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to
effect
such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall each
certify to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor in writing the facts
surrounding the transfer. In the event that such a transfer is not to be
made
pursuant to Rule 144A of the Act, there shall be delivered to the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor of an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer
may
be made pursuant to an exemption from the Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall
not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Depositor; or there shall be delivered
to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor a transferor certificate by
the
transferor and an investment letter shall be executed by the transferee.
The

to,
indemnify the Trust Administrator and the Depositor 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.

transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in
accordance with Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement.
Each
Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the
restrictions of the Agreement, including but not limited to the restrictions
that (i) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this
Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee, (ii) no Ownership Interest in
this
Certificate may be transferred without delivery to the Trust Administrator
of
(a) a transfer affidavit of the proposed transferee and (b) a transfer
certificate of the transferor, each of such documents to be in the form
described in the Agreement, (iii) each person holding or acquiring any Ownership
Interest in this Certificate must agree to require a transfer affidavit and
to
deliver a transfer certificate to the Trust Administrator as required pursuant
to the Agreement, (iv) each person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest
in
this Certificate must agree not to transfer an Ownership Interest in this
Certificate if it has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not
a
Permitted Transferee and (v) 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.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Trust Administrator will provide the Internal
Revenue Service and any pertinent persons with the information needed to
compute
the tax imposed under the applicable tax laws on transfers of residual interests
to disqualified organizations, if any person other than a Permitted Transferee
acquires an Ownership Interest on a Class R-X Certificate in violation of
the
restrictions mentioned above.
Reference
is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set forth on
the
reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the
same
effect as if set forth at this place.
This

(herein collectively called the “Certificates”), and representing a beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust created by the Agreement.
The
Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that it
will
look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for payment
hereunder and that the Trust 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 thereby, and the rights, duties and immunities
of the Trust Administrator.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the 25th day
of
each month or, if such 25th day is not a Business Day, then the Business
Day
immediately following such Distribution Date (the “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to
the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business
on
the applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed
to Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs
on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
Distributions
on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order mailed to the address
of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the Certificate Register
or by
wire transfer or otherwise, as set forth in the Agreement. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Trust
Administrator or the Trust Administrator’s agent specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Trust
Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement
at
any time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator and the Trustee and of Holders of the requisite percentage
of the
Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment,
as specified in the Agreement. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer
hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such
consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment
thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders
of
any of the Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
of
the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of
transfer at the offices or agencies of the Trust Administrator as provided
in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trust Administrator and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or such holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the
same
Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in
denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable
for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
No
service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Trust Administrator may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The
Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Master Servicer,
the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none
of the
Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
On
any
Distribution Date following the date at which the remaining aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date, the Servicer may purchase,
in whole, from the Trust the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined
as
provided in the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination
occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will

Certificates have been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan in the Trust, (iii) the optional purchase
by the Servicer of the Mortgage Loans as described in the Agreement and (iv)
the

ASSIGNMENT
AND RECOGNITION AGREEMENT
THIS
ASSIGNMENT AND RECOGNITION AGREEMENT, dated December 28, 2006, (“Agreement”)
among

and
EquiFirst Corporation (the “Company”):
For
and
in consideration of the sum of TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) and other valuable
consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged,
and
of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree
as
follows:
Assignment
and Conveyance
1. The
Assignor hereby conveys, sells, grants, transfers and assigns to the Assignee
all of the right, title and interest of the Assignor, as purchaser, in,
to and
under (a) those certain Mortgage Loans listed as being originated by the
Company
on the schedule (the “Mortgage

attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Mortgage

and
(b) that certain Master Mortgage Loan Purchase and Interim Servicing Agreement
dated as of June 1, 2006, as amended (the “Purchase
Agreement”),
among
EquiFirst Mortgage Corporation of Minnesota as seller, the Company as seller
and
interim servicer and the Assignor, as purchaser (the “Purchaser”),
solely insofar as the Purchase Agreement relates to the Mortgage
Loans.
The
Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee hereunder
any
and all right, title and interest in, to and under and any obligations
of the
Assignor with respect to any mortgage loans subject to the Purchase Agreement
which are not the Mortgage Loans set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
and are
not the subject of this Agreement.
Recognition
of the Company
2. From
and
after the date hereof, the Company shall and does hereby recognize that
the
Assignee will transfer the Mortgage Loans and assign its rights under the
Purchase Agreement (solely to the extent set forth herein) and this Agreement
to
Soundview Home Loan Trust 2006-EQ2 (the “Trust”)
created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December
1,
2006 (the “Pooling
Agreement”),
among
the Assignee, Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. as servicer (the “Servicer”)
and
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee (including its successors
in
interest and any successor trustees under the Pooling Agreement, the
“Trustee”).
The
Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that from and after the date hereof
(i) the Trust will be the owner of the Mortgage Loans, (ii) the
Company shall look solely to the Trust for performance of any obligations
of the
Assignor insofar as they relate to the enforcement of the representations,
warranties and covenants with respect to the Mortgage Loans, (iii) the
Trust (including the Trustee and the Servicer acting on the Trust’s behalf)
shall have all the rights and remedies available to the Assignor, insofar
as
they relate to the Mortgage Loans, under the Purchase Agreement, including,
without limitation, the enforcement of the document delivery requirements
and
remedies with respect to breaches of representations and warranties set
forth in
the Purchase Agreement, and shall be entitled to enforce all of the obligations
of the Company thereunder insofar as they relate to the Mortgage Loans,
and
(iv) all references to the Purchaser (insofar as they relate to the rights,
title and interest and, with respect to obligations of the Purchaser, only
insofar as they relate to the enforcement of the representations, warranties
and
covenants of the Company) or the Custodian under the Purchase Agreement
insofar
as they relate to the Mortgage Loans, shall be deemed to refer to the Trust
(including the Trustee and the Servicer acting on the Trust’s behalf). Neither
the Company nor the Assignor shall amend or agree to amend, modify, waiver,
or
otherwise alter any of the terms or provisions of the Purchase Agreement
which
amendment, modification, waiver or other alteration would in any way affect
the
Mortgage Loans or the Company’s performance under the Purchase Agreement with
respect to the Mortgage Loans without the prior written consent of the
Trustee.
Representations
and Warranties of the Company
3. The
Company warrants and represents to the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust
as
of the date hereof that:
(a) The
Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation;
(b)
The
Company has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and has full power and authority to perform
its
obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The execution by the Company
of this
Agreement is in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and will not
conflict with, or result in a breach of, any of the terms, conditions or
provisions of the Company’s charter or bylaws or any legal restriction, or any
material agreement or instrument to which the Company is now a party or
by which
it is bound, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment or decree to which the Company or its property is subject. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement have
been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on part of the Company.
This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company, and, upon
the due
authorization, execution and delivery by the Assignor and the Assignee,
will
constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms except as enforceability
may be
limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other
similar
laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally, and by
general principles of equity regardless of whether enforceability is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law;
(c)
No
consent, approval, order or authorization of, or declaration, filing or
registration with, any governmental entity is required to be obtained or
made by
the Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by
the
Company of this Agreement; and
(d)
There
is
no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against
the
Company, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, which
would
draw into question the validity of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement,
or
which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, would result in
any
material adverse change in the ability of the Company to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, and the Company is
solvent.
4. Pursuant
to Section 12 of the Purchase Agreement, the Company hereby represents and
warrants, for the benefit of the Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust,
that the
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.01 of the Purchase
Agreement, are true and correct as of the date hereof as if such representations
and warranties were made on the date hereof, and that the representations
and
warranties set forth in Section 7.02 of the Purchase Agreement (attached
hereto
as Schedule I) are true and correct as of related Servicing Transfer Date
(as
defined in the Purchase Agreement), except that the representation and
warranty
set forth in Section 7.02(i) shall, for purposes of this Agreement, relate
to the Mortgage Loan Schedule attached hereto.
In
the
event that (i) the first Monthly Payment on any Mortgage Loan due subsequent
to
the related Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is not
made
within forty-five (45) days of the date on which such Monthly Payment was
due
(each such Mortgage Loan, an “EPD Mortgage Loan”) and (ii) either (A) such EPD
Mortgage Loan becomes ninety (90) or more days delinquent at any time prior
to
the EPD Expiration Date (as defined below) or (B) such EPD Mortgage Loan
is
thirty (30) or more days delinquent on the business day immediately prior
to the
EPD Expiration Date, then such Mortgage Loan will be repurchased by the
Company
at the Repurchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company’s obligation to repurchase any such Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this paragraph shall expire 165 days following the related
Servicing
Transfer Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (the “EPD Expiration
Date”).
Notwithstanding
the foregoing set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph,
the Assignor specifically reserves and does not assign to the Assignee
any and all right, title and interest in, to and under the right to receive
as
part of the repurchase price for any such Mortgage Loan covered by the
preceding paragraph the excess of the Repurchase Price over 100%
multiplied by the unpaid Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loan.
5. The
Assignor hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants
as
of the date hereof:
(a) To
the
best of the Assignor’s knowledge, nothing has occurred in the period of time
from the related Servicing Transfer Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)
to the date hereof which would cause such representation and warranties
referred
to in Section 4 herein to be untrue in any material respect as of the date
hereof;
(b) Each
Mortgage Loan at the time it was made complied in all material respects
with
applicable local, state, and federal laws, including, but not limited to,
all
applicable predatory and abusive and/or usury lending laws;
(c) None
of
the mortgage loans are High Cost as defined by any applicable predatory
and
abusive lending laws; and
(d) No
Mortgage Loan is a high cost loan or a covered loan, as applicable (as
such
terms are defined in the then current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS Glossary,
Appendix E).
Remedies
for Breach of Representations and Warranties
6. The
Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the remedies available to the
Assignor, the Assignee and the Trust (including the Trustee and the Servicer
acting on the Trust’s behalf) in connection with any breach of the
representations and warranties made by the Company set forth in Sections
3 and 4
hereof shall be as set forth in Subsection 7.03 of the Purchase Agreement
as if they were set forth herein (including without limitation the repurchase
and indemnity obligations set forth therein).
Miscellaneous
7. This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New
York, without regard to conflicts of law principles, and the obligations,
rights
and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance
with
such laws.
8. No
term
or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver
or
modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver
or
modification is sought to be enforced, with the prior written consent of
the
Trustee.
9. This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of (i) the successors and assigns
of the
parties hereto and (ii) the Trust (including the Trustee and the Servicer
acting
on the Trust’s behalf). Any entity into which Assignor, Assignee or Company may
be merged or consolidated shall, without the requirement for any further
writing, be deemed Assignor, Assignee or Company, respectively,
hereunder.
10. Each
of
this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement shall survive the conveyance
of the
Mortgage Loans and the assignment of the Purchase Agreement (to the extent
assigned hereunder) by Assignor to Assignee and by Assignee to the Trust
and
nothing contained herein shall supersede or amend the terms of the Purchase
Agreement.
11. This
Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts.
Each
counterpart shall be deemed to be an original and all such counterparts
shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
12. In
the
event that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with any provision
of the
Purchase Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans, the terms of this
Agreement shall control.
13. Capitalized
terms used in this Agreement (including the exhibits hereto) but not defined
in
this Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase
Agreement.

SCHEDULE
I
Capitalized

true
and correct;
(ii) The
Mortgage Loan is in compliance with all requirements set forth in the related
Confirmation, and the characteristics of the related Mortgage Loan Package
as

that in the event of any conflict between the terms of any Confirmation
and this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control;
(iii) The
Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received
any
advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged
Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required
by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage; no Mortgage Loan is thirty (30) or more days

no delinquent taxes, water charges, sewer rents, assessments, insurance

in the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(vi) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or
the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in
whole or
in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable
to
prudent lenders in the secondary mortgage market against loss by fire,
hazards
of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area
where
the Mortgaged Property is located, in an amount that is at least equal
to the
lesser of (i) the amount necessary to fully 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 plus with
respect
to any second lien Mortgage Loan, the outstanding principal balance of
the
related first lien mortgage loan (including any cumulative related Negative
Amortization), in each case in an amount not less than such amount as is
necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a
co-insurer. 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 which policy
conforms to the requirements of prudent lenders in the secondary mortgage
market. 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,
predatory and abusive lending, fair lending, consumer credit protection,
equal
credit opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the
origination and servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage
Loans and applicable to any prepayment penalty associated with the Mortgage
Loans at origination have been complied with;
(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 (including any Negative Amortization which may arise thereunder)
is a
valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority security
interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller
to
be a first lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second
lien
and second priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan
which
is indicated by the Seller to be a second lien (as reflected on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule), in either case, on the Mortgaged Property, including all
improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of
current
real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters
of the
public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage
lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which
do
not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c)
with
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a
second
lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) a first
lien on
the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties
are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of
the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment,
value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement,
chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection
with the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable
first or
second lien and first or second priority security interest (in each case,
as
indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) on the property described therein
and
the Seller has full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser.
The
Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage
Loan,
subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt or other security
instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage;
(xi) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its
terms;
(xii) All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter
into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage,
and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by
such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person;
(xiii) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account
of
the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional
funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site
or
off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or
closing
the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and
the
Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the
Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(xiv) The
Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage
Note
and the Mortgage and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan
to
the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge,
charge,
claim or security interest;
(xv) All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held
and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable
“doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
Mortgaged Property is located;
(xvi) The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) lender’s
title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan
has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or
6.1)
acceptable to prudent lenders in the secondary mortgage market, issued
by a
title insurer acceptable to prudent lenders in the secondary mortgage market
and
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property
is
located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (x)(a) and (b),
and
with respect to any second lien Mortgage Loan (c), above) the Seller, its
successors and assigns as to the first or second (as indicated on the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule) priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal
amount of the Mortgage Loan (including, if the Mortgage Loan provides for
Negative Amortization, the maximum amount of Negative Amortization in accordance
with the Mortgage) and, with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan,
against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the
lien
resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment
in the
Mortgage Interest Rate, Monthly Payment and Negative Amortization provisions
of
the Mortgage Note. Additionally, such lender's title insurance policy
affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property,
and
against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest
therein.
The Seller is the sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy,
and such
lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full
force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this
Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender's title insurance
policy,
and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has
done, by
act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's
title
insurance policy;
(xvii) There
is
no default, breach, violation 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
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Seller has
not
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect
to
each second lien Mortgage Loan (i) the first lien mortgage loan is in full
force
and effect, (ii) to the best of Seller’s knowledge, there is no default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage
or
the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, (iv) either
(A)
the first lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable
law
requires, the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive
notice
of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment
in
full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage, (v) the related first
lien does
not provide for or permit negative amortization under such first lien Mortgage
Loan, and (vi) either no consent for the Mortgage Loan is required by the
holder
of the first lien or such consent has been obtained and is contained in
the
Mortgage File;
(xviii) There
are
no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work,
labor
or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise
to
such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage;
(xix) All
improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of
the
related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;

Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller or by a savings and loan association,
a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar banking institution which
is
supervised and examined by a federal or state authority, or by a mortgagee
approved as such by the Secretary of HUD;
(xxi)
Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty (60)
days
after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan
bears
interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan
which
is not a Negative Amortization Loan, the Mortgage Note is payable on the
Due
Date of each month in Monthly Payments, which, in the case of a Fixed Rate
Mortgage Loan, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal
balance
over the original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan
identified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage
Loan during the interest-only period or a Mortgage Loan which is identified
on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as a Balloon Mortgage Loan) and to pay
interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and, in the case of an
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment Date, and
in any
case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over
the
original term thereof (other than with respect to a Mortgage Loan identified
on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan during
the
interest-only period or a Mortgage Loan which is identified on the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule as a Balloon Mortgage Loan) and to pay interest
at the
related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Negative Amortization
Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Note requires a Monthly Payment which
is
sufficient during the period following each Payment Adjustment Date, to
fully
amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such
period
(including any Negative Amortization) over the then remaining term of such
Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate;
provided, that the Monthly Payment shall not increase to an amount that
exceeds
107.5% of the amount of the Monthly Payment that was due immediately prior
to
the Payment Adjustment Date. With respect to each Mortgage Loan identified
on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only
period shall not exceed ten (10) years (or such other period specified
on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule) and following the expiration of such interest-only
period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize
the
original principal balance over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan
and to
pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each
Balloon
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient
to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term
thereof
and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate and requires
a final
Monthly Payment substantially greater than the preceding monthly payment
which
is sufficient to repay the remaining unpaid principal balance of the Balloon
Mortgage Loan at the Due Date of such monthly payment. The Index for each
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan is as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
No
Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage Loan. No Balloon Mortgage Loan
has an
original stated maturity of less than seven (7) years;
(xxii) The
origination, servicing and collection practices used with respect to each
Mortgage Note and Mortgage including, without limitation, the establishment,
maintenance and servicing of the Escrow Accounts and Escrow Payments, if
any,

customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry. The Mortgage
Loan
has been serviced by the Seller and any predecessor servicer in accordance
with
the terms of the Mortgage Note and Accepted Servicing Practices. With respect
to
escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the
possession of, or under the control of, the Seller and there exist no
deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments
or
other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under any
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no such escrow deposits or Escrow
Payments are being held by the Seller for any work on a Mortgaged Property
which
has not been completed;
(xxiii) The
Mortgaged Property is free of damage and waste and there is no proceeding
pending for the total or partial condemnation thereof;

any
relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil
Relief Act;

indirect
in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof,
whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage
Loan
and who met the minimum qualifications of prudent lenders in the secondary
mortgage market. Each appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made in accordance
with
the relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery,
and
Enforcement Act of 1989;
(xxviii) 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

become
payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;

to the

standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to
be an
unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent,
or
adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxxiii) No
Mortgage Loan had an LTV or a CLTV at origination in excess of 100%. No

history, income, assets and liabilities;
(lviii) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
did not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the
principal determining factor in approving such extension of credit. The
methodology employed objective criteria that related such facts as, without
limitation, the Mortgagor’s credit history, income, assets or liabilities, to
the proposed mortgage payment and, based on such methodology, the Mortgage
Loan’s originator made a reasonable determination that at the time of
origination the Mortgagor had the ability to make timely payments on the
Mortgage Loan;
(lix) [Reserved]
(lx) All
points and fees related to each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing
to the
related Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal laws

the

The
undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The
undersigned is an officer of, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate (the “Certificate”)
issued
pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of December 1, 2006
(the “Agreement”),
among
Financial Asset Securities Corp., as depositor (the “Depositor”),
Ocwen
Loan Servicing, LLC as servicer (the “Servicer”), Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. as
master servicer and trust administrator (the “Master Servicer” and “Trust
Administrator”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee (the
“Trustee”).
Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit 1 hereto,
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The Transferee
has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of the
Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee.
2. The
Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the
Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its Ownership
Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The Transferee has no knowledge
that any such affidavit is false.
3. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be
imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted
Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman)
for
a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the
Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the
tax
if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that such
subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer,
such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee understands
that
such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect to which the record
holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit that such record
holder
is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity does not have actual
knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a “pass-through
entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives
and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons holding
interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions
on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide
by
the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the restrictions
noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees
that
any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the
Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom
the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is acting
as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person
that
the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection with any
such
Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee
a
certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit L to the
Agreement (a “Transferor
Certificate”)
to the
effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which
the
Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The
Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends
to pay
its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes
payable
with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto
in
some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become due. The
Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or collection
of
any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.
8. The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ___________.
9. The
Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code
Section 7701(a)(30).
10. The
Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual
interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
11. The
Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable
to a
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an
applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S.
person.
12. Check
one
of the following:
o The
present value of the
anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Certificate, as
applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
|
(i)
|
the
present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to acquire
such
Certificate;
|
|
(ii)
|
the
present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate;
and
|
|
(iii)
|
the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding
such
Certificate as the related REMIC generates
losses.
|
For
purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax at
the
highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax
rate
in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate
specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject
to the

by
Party B (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement
between Party B and such Reference Market-maker to enter into a Replacement
Transaction, and (3) made on the basis that Unpaid Amounts in respect of
the
Terminated Transaction or group of Transactions are to be excluded but,
without
limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early
Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable
condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be

|
(B)
|
The

and
replaced with the following:
|
“Settlement
Amount”
means,
with respect to any Early Termination Date, an amount (as determined by

on which the Early Termination Date is designated, or such later
day as
Party B may specify in writing to Party A, but in either case
no later
than one Local Business Day prior to the Early Termination Date

the “Latest Settlement Amount Determination Day”), the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the amount (whether positive or negative)

Market Quotation;
|
|
(b)
|
If,
on the Latest Settlement Amount Determination Day, 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 made and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon
acceptance,
the Settlement Amount shall equal the Termination Currency Equivalent
of
the amount (whether positive or negative) of the lowest of such
Market
Quotations (for the avoidance of doubt, the lowest of such Market
Quotations shall be the lowest Market Quotation of
such Market Quotations
expressed as a positive number or, if any of such Market Quotations
is
expressed as a negative number, the Market Quotation expressed
as a
negative number with the largest absolute value);
or
|
|
(c)
|
If,
on the Latest Settlement Amount Determination Day, 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 remains capable of becoming
legally
binding upon acceptance, the Settlement Amount shall equal 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)
|
If
Party B requests Party A in writing to obtain Market Quotations,
Party A
shall use its reasonable efforts to do so before the Latest Settlement
Amount Determination Day.
|
|
(D)
|
If
the Settlement Amount is a negative number, Section 6(e)(i)(3)
shall be
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
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-off against any amount payable
by
Party B under the immediately preceding clause (I).”
|
(E)
|
At
any time on or before the Latest Settlement Amount Determination
Day at
which two or more Market Quotations from Approved Replacements
remain
capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance, Party B
shall be
entitled to accept only the lowest of such Market Quotations
(for the
avoidance of doubt, the lowest of such Market Quotations shall
be the
lowest Market Quotation of such Market Quotations expressed as
a positive
number or, if any of such Market Quotations is expressed as a
negative
number, the Market Quotation expressed as a negative number with
the
largest absolute value).

Part 5(e), or the succeeding sentence, neither Party A nor Party B is permitted
to assign, novate or transfer (whether by way of security or otherwise)

or any Transaction unless (a) the prior written consent of the other party

directors, officers, employees, shareholders or affiliates of
the Party B

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.
The
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall not have liability
for any
failure or delay in making a payment hereunder to Party A due

Cap
Trustee Liability Limitations.
It
is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that
(a) this
Agreement is executed by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Xxxxx”) not in

Trust
Trustee under the Cap Allocation Agreement in the exercise of
the powers
and authority conferred and vested in it under the terms of the
Cap
Allocation Agreement; (b) Xxxxx has been directed pursuant to
the Cap
Allocation Agreement to enter into this Agreement and to perform
its
obligations hereunder; (c) each of the representations, undertakings
and
agreements herein made on behalf of Party B is made and intended
not as
personal representations, undertakings and agreements of Xxxxx
but is made
and intended for the purpose of binding only the Cap Trust; (d)
nothing
herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability
on the part
of Xxxxx, individually or personally, to perform any covenant,
either
expressed or implied, 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

Xxxxx be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness

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

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 made and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon
acceptance,
the Settlement Amount shall equal the Termination Currency Equivalent
of
the amount (whether positive or negative) of the lowest of such
Market
Quotations (for the avoidance of doubt, the lowest of such Market
Quotations shall be the lowest Market Quotation of
such Market Quotations
expressed as a positive number or, if any of such Market Quotations
is
expressed as a negative number, the Market Quotation expressed
as a
negative number with the largest absolute value);
or
|
|
(c)
|
If,
on the Latest Settlement Amount Determination Day, 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 remains capable of becoming
legally
binding upon acceptance, the Settlement Amount shall equal 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)
|
If
Party B requests Party A in writing to obtain Market Quotations,
Party A
shall use its reasonable efforts to do so before the Latest Settlement
Amount Determination Day.
|
|
(D)
|
If
the Settlement Amount is a negative number, Section 6(e)(i)(3)
shall be
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:
|
“(3)

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-off against any amount payable
by
Party B under the immediately preceding clause (I).”
|
(E)
|
At
any time on or before the Latest Settlement Amount Determination
Day at
which two or more Market Quotations from Approved Replacements
remain
capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance, Party B
shall be
entitled to accept only the lowest of such Market Quotations
(for the
avoidance of doubt, the lowest of such Market Quotations shall
be the
lowest Market Quotation of such Market Quotations expressed as
a positive
number or, if any of such Market Quotations is expressed as a
negative
number, the Market Quotation expressed as a negative number with
the
largest absolute value).

not to be
unreasonably withheld), an amendment is made to the Pooling and
Servicing
Agreement which amendment could reasonably be expected to have
a material
adverse effect on the interests of Party A (excluding, for the
avoidance
of doubt, any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
that is

Party with respect to such Additional Termination Event.

to the

payable by either Party B or Party A in respect of the related
Early
Termination Date in

Early
Termination Date shall be the lesser of (x) the amount calculated
to be
due from Party B pursuant to Section 6(e) and (y) the Estimated
Swap
Termination Payment; and (E) notwithstanding anything to the
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 the final Distribution Date
specified in
the Optional Termination Notice.

below
within the time provided for therein. Party A shall be the sole

|
(d)
|
Required
Ratings Downgrade Event.
In
the event that no Relevant Entity has credit ratings at least
equal to the
Required Ratings Threshold (such event, a “Required
Ratings Downgrade Event”),
then Party A shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and so
long as a
Required Ratings Downgrade Event is in effect, at its own expense,
using
commercially reasonable efforts, procure either (A) a Permitted
Transfer
or (B) an Eligible Guarantee from an Eligible Guarantor.
|
|
(e)
|
[Reserved]
|
|
(f)

Transfers.
|
(i)
Section
7
is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“Except
with respect to any Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii), Part
5(d),
Part 5(e), or the succeeding sentence, neither Party A nor Party B is permitted
to assign, novate or transfer (whether by way of security or otherwise)
as a
whole or in part any of its rights, obligations or interests under the
Agreement
or any Transaction 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 and Fitch. At any time at which no Relevant Entity has credit ratings
at
least equal to the Approved Ratings Threshold, Party A may make a Permitted
Transfer.”
|
(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 agree 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, in accordance
with
the priority of payments and other terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement and that Party A will not have any recourse to any
of the
directors, officers, 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.
The
Supplemental Interest Trust Trustee shall not have liability
for any
failure or delay in making a payment hereunder to Party A due
to any
failure or delay in receiving amounts in the account held by
the
Supplemental Interest Trust from the Trust created pursuant to
the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement. This provision will survive the termination
of
this Agreement.
|
|
(h)
|
Timing
of Payments
by Party B upon Early Termination.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(d)(ii),
to the
extent that all or a portion (in either case, the “Unfunded Amount”) of
any amount that is calculated as being due in respect of any
Early
Termination Date under Section 6(e) from Party B to Party A will
be paid
by Party B from amounts other than any upfront payment paid to
Party B by
an Eligible Replacement that has entered a Replacement Transaction
with
Party B, then such Unfunded Amount shall be due on the next subsequent
Distribution Date following the date on which the payment would
have been
payable as determined in accordance with Section 6(d)(ii), and
on any
subsequent Distribution Dates until paid in full (or if such
Early
Termination Date is the final Distribution Date, on such final
Distribution Date); provided, however, that if the date on which
the
payment would have been payable as determined in accordance with
Section
6(d)(ii) is a Distribution Date, such payment will be payable
on such
Distribution Date.
|
|
(i)
|
Rating
Agency Notifications. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, no Early Termination Date
shall be
effectively designated hereunder by Party B and no transfer of
any rights
or obligations under this Agreement shall be made by either party
unless
each Swap Rating Agency has been given prior written notice of
such
designation or transfer.
|
|
(j)
|
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)
|
Amendment.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement,
no
amendment of either this Agreement or any Transaction under this
Agreement
shall be permitted by either party unless each of the Swap Rating
Agencies
has been provided prior written notice of the same and such amendment
satisfies the Rating Agency Condition with respect to S&P and
Fitch.
|
|
(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 Swap 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
to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, in any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings
under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law for a period
of one
year (or, if longer, the applicable preference period) and one
day
following payment in full of the Certificates and any Notes.
This
provision will survive the termination of this
Agreement.

|
(n)
|
Supplemental
Interest Trust Trustee Liability Limitations.
It
is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that
(a) this
Agreement is executed by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Xxxxx”) not in
individually or personally, but solely as Supplemental Interest
Trust
Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the exercise
of the
powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the terms
of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (b) Xxxxx 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,
undertakings and agreements herein made on behalf of Party B
is made and
intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements
of
Xxxxx but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only
the
Supplemental Interest Trust; (d) nothing herein contained shall
be
construed as creating any liability on the part of Xxxxx, individually
or
personally, to perform any covenant, either expressed or implied,
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 Xxxxx be
personally
liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of Party
B or be
liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation,
warranty or covenant made or undertaken by Party B under this
Agreement or
any other related documents, as to all of which recourse shall
be had
solely to the assets of the Supplemental Interest Trust in accordance
with
the terms of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
|
|
(o)
|
Severability.
If
any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement,
or the
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.

(p)
|
Agent

A acknowledges that Party B has appointed the Supplemental Interest
Trust
Trustee as its agent under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement

Trust
Trustee shall be entitled to give notices and to perform and
satisfy the
obligations of Party B hereunder on behalf of Party
B.

|
(q)
|
Escrow
Payments.
If
(whether by reason of the time difference between the cities
in which
payments are to be made or otherwise) it is not possible for
simultaneous
payments to be made on any date on which both parties are required
to make
payments hereunder, either Party may at its option and in its
sole
discretion notify the other Party that payments on that date
are to be
made in escrow. In this case deposit of the payment due earlier
on that
date shall be made by 2:00 pm (local time at the place for the
earlier
payment) on that date with an escrow agent selected by the notifying
party, accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions (i) to
release the
deposited payment to the intended recipient upon receipt by the
escrow
agent of the required deposit of any corresponding payment payable
by the
other party on the same date accompanied by irrevocable payment
instructions to the same effect or (ii) if the required deposit
of the
corresponding payment is not made on that same date, to return
the payment
deposited to the party that paid it into escrow. The party that
elects to
have payments made in escrow shall pay all costs of the escrow
arrangements.

(r)

any time and
from time to time, by the other party of any and all communications

SERVICING
CRITERIA
Definitions
Primary
Servicer - transaction party having borrower contact
Master
Servicer - aggregator of pool assets
Securities
Administrator - waterfall calculator (may be the Trustee, or may be the Master
Servicer)
Back-up
Servicer - named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer becomes
the
Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations)
Custodian
- safe keeper of pool assets
Paying
Agent - distributor of funds to ultimate investor
Trustee
-
fiduciary of the transaction
Credit
Risk Manager - the party providing oversight of the Servicer
Note:
The
definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs,
rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular transaction, the
trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “securities administrator” functions,
while in another transaction, the securities administrator may perform these
functions.
Where
there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify
in
their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of
the
distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction
agreements.
