THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of May 1, 2003, among MORTGAGE ASSET SECURITIZATION TRANSACTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), UBS WARBURG REAL ESTATE SECURITIES INC., a Delaware corporation, as transferor (the “Transferor”), XXXXX FARGO BANK MINNESOTA, N.A., a national banking association (“Xxxxx Fargo”), as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as a custodian (in such capacity, a “Custodian”), U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“U.S. Bank”), as custodian (a “Custodian”) and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
WITNESSETH THAT
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. The Trust Fund for federal income tax purposes will consist of two REMICs (the “Subsidiary REMIC” and the “Master REMIC”). The “latest possible maturity date” for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby will be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
The Subsidiary REMIC will consist of all of the assets constituting the Trust Fund corresponding to Loan Group 1, Loan Group 2, Loan Group 3, Loan Group 4 and Loan Group 5 and will be evidenced by the following uncertificated 13 interests that shall be designated as REMIC regular interests: the LT1-I Interest, the LT2-I Interest, the LT3-I Interest, the LT1-II Interest, the LT2-II Interest, the LT3-II Interest, the LT-15-A-X Interest, the LT-30-A-X Interest, the LT-15-PO Interest and the LT-30-PO Interest (the “Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests”). In addition, the Subsidiary REMIC shall issue the R-1 interest and shall designate such interest as its sole class of residual interest.
The Master REMIC will consist of the Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests and will be evidenced by the Classes of regular interests set forth below for the Master REMIC (which each will represent the “regular interests” in the Master REMIC) and the R-2 Interest as the single “residual interest” in the Master REMIC. The Class A-R shall not be considered a Certificate issued by the Master REMIC, but instead shall represent beneficial ownership of the Class R-1 and Class R-2 interests.
Subsidiary REMIC:
The Subsidiary REMIC Regular Interests, each of which is hereby designated a REMIC regular interest for federal income tax purposes, shall have the following principal balances, pass-through rates and corresponding Loan Groups in the manner set forth in the following table:
REMIC Interests | Initial Balance | Pass- | Corresponding Loan Group |
LT1-I | (1) | 5.00% | 2, 3 and 5 |
LT2-I | (1) | 5.00% | 2, 3 and 5 |
LT3-I | (1) | 5.00% | 2, 3 and 5 |
LT1-II | (1) | 5.50% | 1 and 4 |
LT2-II | (1) | 5.50% | 1 and 4 |
LT3-II | (1) | 5.50% | 1 and 4 |
LT-15-A-X | (2) | (3) | 2, 3 and 5 |
LT-30-A-X | (2) | (4) | 1 and 4 |
LT-15-PO | $465,331.00 | 0% | 2 and 5 |
LT-30-PO | $503,357.00 | 0% | 1 and 4 |
______________
(1)
Each LT1 Interest shall have a principal balance initially equal to 0.9% of the Group Subordinate Amount of its corresponding Loan Group or Groups. Each LT2 Interest shall have a principal balance initially equal to 0.1% of the Group Subordinate Amount of its corresponding Loan Group. The initial principal balance of each LT3 Interest shall equal the excess of the Group Pool Principal Balance of its corresponding Loan Group or Groups over the sum of (i) the initial principal balances of the LT1 and LT2 Interests corresponding to such Loan Group or Groups and (ii) the portion of the LT-15-PO Interest or LT-30-PO Interest, as applicable, attributable to the Discount Loans in the Loan Group or Groups corresponding to such LT3 Interest.
(2)
The LT-15-A-X and LT-30-A-X Interests shall not have any principal balance.
(3)
The LT-15-A-X Interest shall be equal to interest calculated at the related Stripped Interest Rate on each Non-Discount Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 2, Loan Group 3 and Loan Group 5.
(4)
The LT-30-A-X Interest shall be equal to interest calculated at the related Stripped Interest Rate on each Non-Discount Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1 and Loan Group 4.
Unless a Cross-over Situation (as defined below) exists, principal and Realized Losses arising with respect to each Loan Group shall be allocated first to cause the LT1 and LT2 interests corresponding to such Loan Group or Groups to equal 0.9% and 0.1% of the Group Subordinate Amount of such Loan Group or Groups as of such Distribution Date and all excess principal and Realized Losses shall be allocated to the LT3 interest corresponding to such Loan Group or Groups. A LT1, LT2 or LT3 interest that is allocated principal on any Distribution Date shall receive such principal, and have its principal balance reduced by the amount of such principal, on such Distribution Date. Similarly, a LT1, LT2 or LT3 interest that is allocated a Realized Loss on any Distribution Date shall have its principal balance reduced by the amount of such Realized Loss on such Distribution Date.
A “Cross-over Situation” exists if on any Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal and allocations of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date) the LT1 and LT2 interests corresponding to any Loan Group or Groups are in the aggregate less than 1% of the Group Subordinate Amount of the Loan Group or Groups to which they correspond. In the event that a Cross-Over Situation exists on any Distribution Date, and the weighted average rate of the outstanding LT1 and LT2 interests is less than the Pass-Through Rate for any class of Subordinate Certificates, a Principal Relocation Payment (as defined below) shall be made proportionately to the outstanding LT1 interests prior to any other distributions of principal from each such Loan Group or Groups. In the event that a Cross-Over Situation exists on any Distribution Date, and the weighted average rate of the outstanding LT1 and LT2 interests is greater than the Pass-Through Rate for any class of Subordinate Certificates, a Principal Relocation Payment shall be made proportionately to the outstanding LT2 interests prior to any other distributions of principal from each such Loan Group. A “Principal Relocation Payment” is a distribution of principal that causes the Calculation Rate (as defined below) on the outstanding LT1 and LT2 interests to equal the Pass-Through Rate for each class of Subordinate Certificates. The “Calculation Rate” shall equal the product of (i) 10 and (ii) the weighted average rate of the outstanding Class LT1 and Class LT2 interests, treating each Class LT1 interest as capped at zero or reduced by a fixed percentage of 100% of the interest accruing on such class. Principal Relocation Payments shall be made from principal received on the Mortgage Loans from a Loan Group or Groups and shall also consist of a proportionate allocation of Realized Losses from the Mortgage Loans of a Loan Group or Groups. For purposes of making Principal Relocation Payments, to the extent that the principal received during the Collection Period from the related Loan Group and Realized Losses are insufficient to make the necessary reduction of principal, then interest shall accrue on the LT3 interest related to a Loan Group or Groups (and be added to their principal balances) that are not receiving a Principal Relocation Payment to allow the necessary Principal Relocation Payment to be made.
If a Cross-Over Situation exists, the outstanding aggregate LT1 and LT2 interests shall not be reduced below one percent of the aggregate Group Pool Principal Balance of the Loan Group or Groups as of the end of any Collection Period in excess of the Senior Certificates related to such Loan Group as of the related Distribution Date (after taking into account distributions of principal and allocations of Realized Losses on such Distribution Date). To the extent this limitation prevents the distribution of principal to the LT1 and LT2 interests of a Loan Group and the related LT3 interest has already been reduced to zero, such excess principal from the other Loan Group or Loan Groups shall be paid proportionately to the LT3 interests of the Loan Group or Groups whose aggregate LT1 and LT2 interests are less than one percent of the Group Subordinate Amount. Any such shortfall as a result of the Loan Group or Groups receiving the extra payment having a Ratio-strip Rate (as defined below) lower than the weighted average Ratio-strip Rate of the Loan Group from which the payment was relocated shall be treated as a Realized Loss and if excess arises as result of the Loan Group receiving the extra payment having a Ratio-strip Rate higher than the Loan Group from which the payment was relocated it shall reimburse Subsidiary REMIC 2 for prior Realized Losses. The “Ratio-strip Rate” for Loan Group 1 is 5.750%, for Loan Group 2, Loan Group 3 and Loan Group 8 is 5.00% and for Loan Group 4, Loan Group 5, Loan Group 6 and Loan Group 7 is 5.50%.
The Class LT-15-PO interest shall be entitled to receive the PO Percentage of principal payments from Discount Loans in Loan Group 2 and Loan Group 8. The Class LT-30-PO interest shall be entitled to receive the PO Percentage of principal payments from Discount Loans in Loan Group 1 and Loan Group 4.
Master REMIC:

______________
(1)
The Class 15-PO and 30-PO certificates are principal-only certificates and will not be entitled to distributions in respect of interest.
(2)
The Class 15-A-X Certificates are Interest-Only Certificates, shall not be entitled to distributions in respect of principal and shall bear interest on the Class 15-A-X Notional Amount (initially $36,967,646.00). The amount due the Class 15-A-X Certificates shall correspond to 100% of the distributions on the Class LT-15-A-X interest issued by the Subsidiary REMIC.
(3)
The Class 30-A-X Certificates are Interest-Only Certificates, shall not be entitled to distributions in respect of principal and shall bear interest on the Class 30-A-X Notional Amount (initially $36,447,104.00). The amount due the Class 30-A-X Certificates shall correspond to 100% of the distributions on the Class LT-30-A-X interest issued by the Subsidiary REMIC.
(4)
Interest shall accrue on the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates at a per annum rate equal to the weighted average of 5.50000% for Loan Group 1 and Loan Group 4, and 5.00000% for Loan Group 2, Loan Group 3 and Loan Group 5, weighted on the basis of the Group Subordinate Amount for each such Loan Group. The Pass-Through Rate for the Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class B-4, Class B-5 and Class B-6 Certificates for the June 2003 Distribution Date is 5.249%.
The foregoing REMIC structure is intended to cause all of the cash from the Mortgage Loans to flow through to the Master REMIC as cash flow on a REMIC regular interest, without creating any shortfall—actual or potential (other than for credit losses) to any REMIC regular interest. To the extent that the structure is believed to diverge from such intention the party identifying any ambiguity or drafting error shall notify each of the parties hereto, and shall, in accordance with Section 10.01 of this Agreement, attempt to resolve any ambiguities or correct any drafting errors to accomplish such intention.

If in connection with any Mortgage Loan the Depositor cannot deliver (a) the original recorded Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or (c) the lender’s title policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the requirements of clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to either the applicable Custodian or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the applicable Custodian, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, such original Mortgage or such interim assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but in no event shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date, or, in the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver by such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of the fact that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the Depositor shall deliver such documents to the applicable Custodian as promptly as possible upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the applicable Custodian (a) from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents required to be delivered by the Depositor to the applicable Custodian. In the event that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office requires the presentation of a “lost instruments affidavit and indemnity” or any equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the applicable Custodian shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to the public recording office. In the case where a public recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, the Transferor shall deliver to the applicable Custodian a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and assignment, set forth in clause (a) above and in any event, within ninety (90) days thereafter, the applicable Custodian shall affix the Trustee’s name to each assignment of Mortgage, as the assignee thereof, and, subject to Section 2.02, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the related Servicer pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement to (i) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records and (ii) cause to be delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which the related Servicer has not received the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable form, the related Servicer’s obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such recording shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information and in any event within ninety (90) days after receipt thereof and that the related Servicer need not cause to be recorded any assignment which relates to a Mortgage Loan (a) the Mortgaged Property and Mortgage File relating to which are located in California or (b) in any other jurisdiction under the laws of which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to the Trustee stating the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s and the Certificateholders’ interest in the related Mortgage Loan.
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, will deposit in the Collection Account the portion of such payment that is required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof and shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such required payments have been deposited in the Collection Account.
(c)
The Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further provisions of this Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, an express trust (the “Trust”) to be known, for convenience, as “MASTR Asset Securitization Trust 2003-5” and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company is hereby appointed as Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 2.02
Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
Each Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in the Initial Certification in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibit G and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and each such Custodian and Trustee together declare that it holds or will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. Each Custodian acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in the State of Minnesota, with respect to Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., and Arizona, with respect to U.S. Bank National Association, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies and with written notice to the Trustee.
Each Custodian agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the Depositor and the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G. Based on its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, each Custodian acknowledges, subject to any applicable exceptions noted on Exhibit G, that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan. Neither Custodian shall be under any duty or obligation to (i) inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded in the real estate records or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face or (ii) determine whether the Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section 2.01(b)(iv) unless the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such documents are applicable.
Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, each Custodian shall deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Transferor a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit H, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon. Each Custodian shall make available, upon request of any Certificateholder, a copy of any exceptions noted on the Initial Certification or the Final Certification. Each Custodian shall make available, upon request of the Trustee, the identity of the Originator for any Mortgage Loan with a material exception.
If, in the course of such review, either Custodian finds any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, such Custodian shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification; provided, however, that such Custodian shall not make any determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note, (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates or (iii) the Mortgage File should include any of the documents specified in Section 2.01(b)(iv) unless the Mortgage Loan Schedule indicates that such documents are applicable.
Upon receiving each Final Certification from the applicable Custodian, the Trustee shall notify the Transferor of any document defects listed as exceptions in each such Final Certification. The Trustee shall enforce the applicable duties of the Transferor pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.02 to correct and cure such document defects, and if the Transferor fails to correct or cure the defect within such period, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Transferor’s obligations hereunder, to purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price. Any such purchase of a Mortgage Loan shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the applicable Custodian of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit M. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be paid by the Transferor to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit, the Master Servicer shall instruct the applicable Custodian to release, and the applicable Custodian shall release, the related Mortgage File to the Transferor and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Transferor’s written request such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Transferor, or a designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
The Transferor hereby covenants that within sixty (60) days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from the Trustee of any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01, which document defect materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth above. The Transferor shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing such repurchase by the Transferor.
Each Custodian shall retain possession and custody of each related Mortgage File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Pursuant to the terms of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall cause each of the related Servicers to promptly deliver to the related Custodian who shall thereupon promptly deposit within each Mortgage File, upon the execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the related Servicers from time to time.
It is understood and agreed that the obligations of an Originator, pursuant to the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and the Transferor hereunder, to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01 above or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and any Certificateholder.
Section 2.03
Remedies for Breaches of Representations and Warranties.
The Transferor hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Schedule II hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if so specified therein, as of the Cut-off Date.
Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a representation or warranty made by the Transferor pursuant to this Section 2.03 that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties. A breach which causes a Mortgage Loan not to constitute a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, will be deemed automatically to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan. Upon receiving notice of a breach, the Trustee shall in turn notify the Transferor of such breach. The Trustee shall enforce the obligations of the Transferor in accordance with this Section 2.03 to correct or cure any such breach of a representation or warranty made herein, and if the Transferor fails to correct or cure the defect within such period, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Transferor’s obligations hereunder to (i) purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price or (ii) substitute for the related Mortgage Loan an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan, in each case, such Mortgage Loan (a “Deleted Mortgage Loan”) will be removed from the Trust Fund.
The Transferor hereby covenants that within sixty (60) days of the earlier of its discovery or its receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to this Section 2.03 which materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan it shall cure such breach in all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such sixty (60) day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place an Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans into the Trust Fund, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the manner set forth below. The Transferor shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach by the Transferor.
With respect to any Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Transferor shall deliver to the related Custodian on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01 and deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan meets the requirements of the definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any. No substitution is permitted to be made on any day in any calendar month after the Determination Date for such month.
With respect to substitutions made by the Transferor, Scheduled Payments due with respect to Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Transferor on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Transferor shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The related Custodian shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the related Custodian shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, the Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Transferor shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section 2.03 with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph and the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that the Substitution Adjustment Amount has been deposited in the Collection Account, the related Custodian shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Transferor and shall execute and deliver or cause the Trustee to execute and deliver at the Transferor’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor, without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Transferor, as applicable, or its designee, the Trustee’s interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
For any month in which the Transferor substitutes one or more Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Eligible Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the “Substitution Adjustment Amount”) plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Transferor on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.
In the event that the Transferor shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan, the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.07 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the Transferor became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price and receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit M hereto, the related Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to the Transferor, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver at the Transferor’s direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Transferor, in each case without recourse, representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of the Transferor to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedies against the Transferor respecting such matters available to Certificateholders, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee on their behalf.
The provisions of this Section 2.03 shall survive the conveyance and assignment of the Mortgage Files to the Trustee and the delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the related Custodian for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders.
Section 2.04
Representations and Warranties of the Depositor as to the Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee and the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such other date set forth herein that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans to it by the Transferor, the Depositor had good title to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no offsets, liens, defenses or counterclaims.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to the Master Servicer. Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 (referred to herein as a “breach”), which breach materially and adversely affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating Agency.

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND MASTER
SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01
Master Servicing of Mortgage Loans.
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. With respect to WMMSC, the WMMSC Mortgage Loans and the WMMSC Servicing Agreement, the obligations of the Master Servicer imposed in the preceding sentence shall be limited to: (i) collecting the monthly report provided by WMMSC under the WMMSC Servicing Agreement, (ii) enforcing WMMSC’s obligation to remit to the Trustee hereunder, (iii) receiving the annual compliance statements from WMMSC and (iv) complying with the provisions of Section 3.02(b) hereof and the WMMSC Servicing Agreement with respect to the termination of WMMSC. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with this Agreement, subject to the prior two sentences, and with customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage loan master servicers. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with each 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 each Servicer (provided, however, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to review or evaluate any reports, information and other data provided by WMMSC with respect to the WMMSC Mortgage Loans) and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, prepare the statements specified in Section 4.04 and any other information and statements required hereunder; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to perform the duties outlined in this sentence with respect to WMMSC or the WMMSC Mortgage Loans other than collecting the mortgage loan information provided to the Master Servicer by WMMSC to enable the Master Servicer to prepare the statement required under Section 4.04. Other than with respect to WMMSC and the WMMSC Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its Mortgage Loan monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the Collection Account pursuant to the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreements.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph and to the extent the related Servicer does not make such advance, the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.07, and further as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the Scheduled Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and other documents in form acceptable to the Trustee, necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer and the Master Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property, which limited powers of attorney shall provide that the Trustee will not be liable for the actions or omissions of the Servicers or Master Servicer in exercising such powers.
Section 3.02
Monitoring of Servicers.
(a)
The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of the Servicer with regard to such Servicer’s compliance with the terms of its Purchase and Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer should be terminated in accordance with its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Purchase and Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate.
(b)
The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as successor Servicer of the related Mortgage Loans or cause the Trustee to enter in to a new Purchase and Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Master 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, termination of Purchase and Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action.
(c)
To the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer, appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to any Purchase and Servicing 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 an event of default by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor service to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Collection Account.
(d)
The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
(e)
If the Master Servicer acts as Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of the Servicer, if any, that it replaces.
(f)
If a Servicer fails to make its required payment of Compensating Interest on any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer will be required to make such payment of Compensating Interest to the same extent that such Servicer was required to make such payment of Compensating Interest.

The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall cause the applicable Servicer to protect and conserve such REO Property in the manner and to the extent required by the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, subject to the REMIC Provisions.

(d)
The Liquidation Proceeds from the final disposition of the REO Property, net of any payment to the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer as provided above shall be deposited in the Protected Account on or prior to the Determination Date in the month following receipt thereof and be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Master Servicer for deposit into the related Collection Account.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the related Servicer to dispose of such Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third calendar year after the year in which the Trust Fund acquires such Mortgaged Property unless the Servicer shall have applied for and received an extension of such period from the Internal Revenue Service, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property for the period of such extension. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or otherwise, unless the Master Servicer or related Servicer, as applicable, has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligor is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, “foreclosure”) in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause the applicable Servicer to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.

Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
To the extent provided in the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.17
Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
Upon (i) the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes or (ii) otherwise in connection with the servicing of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall, upon receipt of notification from the related Servicer pursuant to the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement which notification shall state that such payment in full has been deposited in the Collection Account or has otherwise been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, instruct the related Custodian to, and the related Custodian shall, release the related Mortgage File to the related Servicer. Upon notification, the Trustee shall at the related Custodian’s direction execute and deliver to the related Custodian the request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage in each case provided by the related Custodian, together with the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon. Expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor.

All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, the related Servicer or the related Custodian in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in the Collection Account or any Protected Account, shall be held by the Master Servicer, the related Servicer or the related Custodian for and on behalf of the Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trust, subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement. Each of the Master Servicer and the Custodians also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Collection Account, Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement.

The Trustee will remit to the Master Servicer all investment income earned on amounts held in the Distribution Account net of the WMMSC Investment Earnings Amount, if any, which the Trustee shall remit directly to WMMSC. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for any servicing or master servicing fee or for any differential in the amount of the servicing fee or master servicing fee paid under this Agreement and the amount necessary to induce any successor servicer or successor master servicer to act as successor servicer or successor master servicer under any Purchase and Servicing Agreement or this Agreement.

Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Master Servicer, the related Custodian and the related Servicer.

In fulfilling such requests, the Master Servicer and the related Custodian shall not be responsible to determine the sufficiency of such information.

ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01
The Certificates.
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A though F. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
Subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution on the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Holder has so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date or (y) by check mailed by first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, and such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate transfers.
Section 5.02
Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a)
The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 hereof, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required by the Trustee.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures.
(b)
No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee (other than the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor) shall each certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit J (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit K (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit L (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor, in accordance with the Depositor’s request, in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor, to the extent in its possession, such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made (other than to the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor) unless the Trustee shall have received in accordance with Exhibit K or Exhibit L (in the event such Certificate is a Private Certificate) or paragraph 13 of Exhibit I (in the event such Certificate is a Residual Certificate), in form and substance satisfactory to such Trustee (i) a representation that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a person acting for, on behalf of or with the assets of, any such plan or arrangement, (ii) in the case of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate which is the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser is an insurance company which is purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an “insurance company general account” (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (“PTCE 95-60”)) and that the purchase and holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the purchase or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in prohibited transactions under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor, the Transferor or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Private Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to in the preceding sentence is not so furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee’s (including an initial acquirer’s) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, (a) any purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, to or on behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or the Code in violation of the above restrictions shall be void and of no effect.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(c)
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i)
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii)
No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the proposed transferee (other than the Depositor of an affiliate thereof) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(iii)
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee.
(iv)
Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(v)
The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Transferor or the Master Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
(d)
The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e)
Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer willing, qualified or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (z) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee, upon receipt of notice of such event, shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.
Section 5.03
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and its counsel) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

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
(iv)
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 to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations; or
(v)
The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or delegation under Section 6.04.
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, the Trustee may, and (i) at the direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Voting Rights aggregating not less than 25% of the Certificates or (ii) if such Master Servicer Event of Termination is related to a failure by the Master Servicer to make any Advance required to be made by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall, in each case by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities accruing prior to the date of termination) of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and/or the REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, the Purchase and Servicing Agreements, 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 7.02, automatically and without further action pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. 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 Mortgage Files and all other property and amounts which are then or should be part of the Trust or which thereafter become part of the Trust; 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 any termination of the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating such Master Servicer’s rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion thereof to which such Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.10(a)(i) through (xi), and any other amounts payable to such Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities hereunder.
Section 7.02
Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and to the extent provided in Section 3.05, be the successor to the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to investment income on all funds to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled in the Collection Account or Distribution Account if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise unable to so act, or if it has been requested in writing by Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates to do so, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by each Rating Agency as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any successor to the Master Servicer shall be an institution which is a Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at least $15,000,000, and which is willing to master service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer (other than liabilities of the Master Servicer under Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Master Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement; and provided further that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be qualified or reduced, without regard to the guaranty provided by the Policies, as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.05 hereof, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor master servicer out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor master servicer shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the compensation permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor master servicer shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information, documents or records to it.
Any successor master servicer as Master Servicer shall give notice to the Servicers of such change of master servicer and shall, during the term of its service as master servicer maintain in force the policy or policies that the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.11.
The Trustee or successor master servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Master Servicer for all costs associated with the transfer of master servicing from the predecessor master servicer, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses (including but not limited to personnel time) associated with the complete transfer of all master servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such master servicing data as may be required by the Trustee or successor master servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the master servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee or successor master servicer to master service the Mortgage Loans properly and effectively. If the Master Servicer does not pay such reimbursement within thirty (30) days of its receipt of an invoice therefor, such reimbursement shall be an expense of the Trust and the Trustee shall be entitled to withdraw such reimbursement from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.10(b)(iv); provided that the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trust for any such expense incurred by the Trust, provided, further that the Trustee’s entitlement to withdraw such reimbursement is not contingent upon the Master Servicer reimbursing the Trust Fund.
Section 7.03
Notification to Certificateholders.
(a)
Upon any termination of or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency.
(b)
Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Master Servicer Event of Termination, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such Master Servicer Event of Termination hereunder actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such Master Servicer Event of Termination shall have been cured or waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 8.01
Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Termination that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case a Master Servicer Event of Termination has occurred and remains uncured or unwaived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs, but only until such time as a successor Master Servicer shall have been appointed hereunder.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument. If any such instrument is found not to conform in any material respect to the requirements of this Agreement, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of such non-conforming instrument in the event the Trustee, after so requesting, does not receive a satisfactorily corrected instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i)
unless a Master Servicer Event of Termination a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of shall have occurred and be continuing, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(ii)
the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination no longer subject to appeal, that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii)
the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement; and
(iv)
The Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of the Master Servicer until such time as the Trustee may be required to act as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor Master Servicer.
Section 8.02
Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i)
the Trustee may request and conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers’ Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party or parties;
(ii)
the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or accountants and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii)
the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(iv)
prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination and after the curing or waiver of all Master Servicer Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee 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, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Master Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer upon demand. Nothing in this clause (iv) shall derogate from the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors;
(v)
the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, nominees or a custodian and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent, attorney, nominee or custodian appointed by the Trustee with due care;
(vi)
the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not 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;
(vii)
the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the investment security);
(viii)
the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer Event of Termination until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives written notice of such failure from the Master Servicer or the holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates. In the absence of such receipt of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that there is no Master Servicer Event of Termination;
(ix)
the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
(x)
The Trustee shall promptly remit to the Master Servicer any complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (collectively, the “Notices”) delivered to the Trustee it may receive as a consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder and relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans; provided that any such Notice (i) is delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office; and (ii) contains information sufficient to permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which such document relates to is a Mortgaged Property. The Trustee shall have no duty hereunder with respect to any Notice it may receive or which may be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it unless such Notice is delivered to it or served upon it at its Corporate Trust Office and such Notice contains the information required pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence; and
(xi)
The Trustee or its affiliates are permitted to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Trustee’s economic self-interest for (i) serving as an investment advisor, administrator, shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Permitted Investments; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Trust or the Master Servicer be liable for any such additional compensation. The Trustee does not guarantee the performance of any Permitted Investment.
The Trustee shall have no duty (A) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to see to any insurance or (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Distribution Account.
Section 8.03
Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor or the Transferor, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document other than with respect to the Trustee’s execution and counter-signature of the Certificates. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the Master Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Depositor or the Master Servicer.

The Trustee shall be compensated as separately agreed with the Master Servicer in writing. The Trustee and any director, officer, employee, agent or “control person” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange of 1934, as amended (“Control Person”) of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s and agent’s fees and expenses) (i) incurred in connection with any claim or legal action relating to or arising out of (a) this Agreement (b) the Mortgage Loans or (c) the Certificates, (ii) incurred in connection with the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense (x) incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder or (y) which would not constitute an “unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3), (iii) incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee taken at the direction of the Certificateholders and (iv) resulting from any error in any tax or information return prepared by the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorney’s and agent’s fees and expenses) which would not constitute an “unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3) incurred in connection with (i) any claim or legal action relating to or arising out of (a) the Agreement (b) the Mortgage Loans or (c) the Certificates, or (ii) the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense (x) incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee’s duties hereunder, (y) which is attributable to any “overhead” or routine expense (including, by way of example and not by limitation, expenses related to postage, shipping and telephone usage, and expenses related to wages and benefits for employees and agents of the Trustee) incurred by the Trustee in the performance of its duties hereunder, or (z) which is otherwise reimbursable to the Trustee from the Trust or any other party. Such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, and except for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or which would not be an “unanticipated expense” within the meaning of the second preceding sentence, the Trustee shall be reimbursed by the Trust for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to: (A) the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates, (B) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant, engineer, appraiser or other agent that is not regularly employed by the Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage such Persons to perform acts or services hereunder and (C) printing and engraving expenses in connection with preparing any Definitive Certificates. The Trust shall fulfill its obligations under this paragraph from amounts on deposit from time to time in the Distribution Account.
Section 8.06
Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a credit rating of at least investment grade. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07 hereof. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or the Master Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an affiliate of the Master Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.
Section 8.07
Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor and the Master Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section 8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed by the Depositor or the Master Servicer and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the Master Servicer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each Rating Agency by the Successor Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08 hereof.
Section 8.08
Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor trustee and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and its appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.
Section 8.09
Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation or other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.10
Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint at the expense of the Trust Fund one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case a Master 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.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i)
To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee (as successor master servicer) and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii)
No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee; and
(iii)
The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.
Section 8.11
Tax Matters.
It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC election is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such assets as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the Master Servicer covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and the Master Servicer is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of each such REMIC and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare, submit to the Trustee for execution, and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with respect to such REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby, including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount using the Prepayment Assumption; (b) apply for an Employee Identification Number from the Internal Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or other acceptable method for such REMIC and within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under applicable state law); (d) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee described in clauses (i)-(iv) of the definition thereof, or an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) of a non-Permitted Transferee (the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged to the Person liable for such tax); (e) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (f) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status; (g) not permit the creation of any interests in such REMIC other than the Certificates; (h) not receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for services (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement); (i) receive any income attributable to any asset which is neither a “qualified mortgage” nor a “permitted investment” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions; (j) not receive any contributions to such REMIC after the Startup Day that would be subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code; (k) not dispose of any assets of such REMIC at a gain if such disposition would be a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code; (l) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on such REMIC prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Master Servicer or any other appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Master Servicer from causing the withholding of payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); (m) ensure that federal, state or local income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other Person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; and (n) maintain records relating to such REMIC, including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities thereof and the adjusted basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class A-R Certificates shall act as “tax matters person” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) for each REMIC created by this Agreement, and the Master Servicer is hereby designated as agent of such Class A-R Certificateholder for such purposes (or if the Master Servicer is not so permitted, such Holder shall be the tax matters person in accordance with the REMIC Provisions). In such capacity, the Master Servicer shall, as and when necessary and appropriate, represent the related REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of such REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.
In order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Master Servicer within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the Master Servicer requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Master Servicer promptly upon written request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Master Servicer may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Master Servicer to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Master Servicer for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Master Servicer arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Master Servicer that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Master Servicer on a timely basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from foreclosure property” of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contribution to such REMIC after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be paid by (i) the Master Servicer or the Trustee, respectively, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, respectively, of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the Transferor, if any such tax arises out of or results from the Transferor’s obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iii) in all other cases, or in the event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Transferor fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clause (i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 3.10(b).
Section 8.12

With respect to each Distribution Date, prior to the issuance of the related monthly statement to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.04 (each, a “Distribution Date Statement”), the Master Servicer shall confirm that it has received all distribution and/or servicing information required to be provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer for inclusion in such Distribution Date Statement. In the event the Master Servicer determines that any such information has not been provided as required or is materially incorrect, the Master Servicer shall immediately notify the applicable Servicer and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Servicer to provide or correct, as the case may be, such information promptly (but in any event in time to permit the Master Servicer to distribute the Distribution Date Statement at the time required in this Agreement).
(b)
Promptly upon receipt by the Master Servicer of (i) any officer’s certificate relating to any Servicer’s annual compliance with the terms of the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, (ii) any report of any Servicer’s independent public accountants relating to the Servicer’s compliance with servicing standards, as required under the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, and (iii) any report of the Master Servicer’s independent public accountants required pursuant to Section 3.22, the Master Servicer shall review such officer’s certificate and reports. As part of the From 10-K required to be filed pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 8.12, the Master Servicer shall include each such Servicer’s annual statement of compliance (as well as any annual statement of compliance required pursuant to Section 3.21), and each such accountant’s report, as well as a report of any significant deficiencies relating to any Servicer’s performance of its obligations under the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
(c)
The Master Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor to enable the Trust to satisfy its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. The Master Servicer shall prepare on behalf of the Trust any Forms 8-K and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Master Servicer shall sign and file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Trust.
(d)
Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Master Servicer within 15 days after each Distribution Date, which shall include a copy of the statement to Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto.

If they are not so timely delivered, the Master Servicer shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Master Servicer’s inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Each Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N or in such other form as may be required by Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act, as applicable, and any directives or interpretations thereof by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Certification”), which shall be signed by a Master Servicing Officer.

Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Transferor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in the Trust Fund at the price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than Mortgage Loans for which the related Mortgaged Property has become REO Property) plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate and (ii) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Master Servicer at the expense of the Master Servicer and (y) the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the 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 and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date. The right to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to clause (a) above shall be conditioned upon the Aggregate Pool Principal Balance, at the time of any such repurchase, aggregating less than five percent of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Section 9.02
Final Distribution on the Certificates.
If on any Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee promptly to send a final distribution notice to each Certificateholder. If the Master Servicer elects to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee of the date the Master Servicer intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed within a reasonable time of receipt by the Trustee from the Master Servicer of the notice specified in the preceding paragraph. Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Master Servicer will give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each Class, in the order set forth in Section 4.02 hereof, on the final Distribution Date, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class of Regular Certificates, the Certificate Principal Balance thereof plus (a) accrued interest thereon (or on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of an interest bearing Certificate and (b) any applicable Group PO Deferred Amounts in the case of the Class PO Certificates, and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take reasonable steps, or may appoint an agent to take reasonable steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets of the Master REMIC which remain subject hereto and the Class A-R Certificateholders as the beneficial owner of the residual interest issued by each REMIC created under this Agreement shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the each REMIC created under this Agreement which remain subject hereto, and Certificateholders who have not surrendered Certificates shall look only to such Class A-R Certificateholders with respect to any such unclaimed funds and other assets.
Section 9.03
Additional Termination Requirements.
(a)
In the event the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer, to the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” as defined in section 860F of the Code on any REMIC created under this Agreement, or (ii) cause any such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i)
The notice given by the Master Servicer under Section 9.02 shall provide that such notice constitutes the adoption of a plan of complete liquidation of the REMICs as of the date of such notice (or, if earlier, the date on which the first such notice is mailed to Certificateholders). The Master Servicer shall also specify such date in a statement attached to the final tax return of each REMIC created under this Agreement; and
(ii)
At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the Master Servicer for cash at the purchase price specified in Section 9.01 and shall distribute such cash within 90 days of such adoption in the manner specified in Section 9.02.

The Trustee, the Depositor, the Transferor, the Custodians and the Master Servicer also may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of any REMIC created under this Agreement as a REMIC under the Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other requirements of the Code, provided that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as applicable, (i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.

Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.

Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this Section 10.01.

Intention of Parties.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Trustee.

However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the property of the Depositor, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in such assets, then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the conveyance provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets that constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
The Depositor for the benefit of the Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Trust Fund, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted or assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholder.
