ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
SECTION
2.01 Conveyance
of Mortgage Loans.
The
Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trustee without recourse
for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the right, title and interest
of
the Depositor, including any security interest therein for the benefit of the
Depositor, in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
(except Section 18 thereof), and all other assets included or to be included
in
REMIC I-A and REMIC II. Such assignment includes all interest and principal
received by the Depositor or the Master Servicer on or with respect to the
Mortgage Loans (other than payments of principal and interest due on such
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date). The Depositor herewith delivers
to the Trustee an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and
the
Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, acknowledges receipt of the same.
In
connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor does hereby deliver
to, and deposit with, the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf, the following
documents or instruments (a “Mortgage File”) with respect to each Mortgage Loan
so transferred and assigned:
(i) The
Mortgage Note, endorsed by manual or facsimile signature without recourse by
the
Originator or an Affiliate of the Originator in blank or to the Trustee showing
a complete chain of endorsements from the named payee to the Trustee or from
the
named payee to the Affiliate of the Originator and from such Affiliate to the
Trustee;
(ii) The
original recorded Mortgage, noting the presence of the MIN of the Mortgage
Loan
and language indicating that the Mortgage Loan is a MOM Loan if the Mortgage
Loan is a MOM Loan, with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage
certified by the public recording office in those jurisdictions where the public
recording office retains the original;
(iii) Unless
the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS® System, an assignment to the
Trustee in recordable form of the Mortgage which may be included, where
permitted by local law, in a blanket assignment or assignments of the Mortgage
to the Trustee, including any intervening assignments and showing a complete
chain of title from the original mortgagee named under the Mortgage to the
Person assigning the Mortgage Loan to the Trustee (or to MERS, noting the
presence of the MIN, if the Mortgage Loan is registered on the MERS®
System);
(iv) Any
original assumption, modification, buydown or conversion-to- fixed-interest-rate
agreement applicable to the Mortgage Loan;
(v) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as subject
to
a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the original Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy or certificate or a copy thereof;
(vi) The
original or a copy of the title insurance policy (which may be a certificate
or
a short form policy relating to a master policy of title insurance) pertaining
to the Mortgaged Property, or in the event such original title policy is
unavailable, a copy of the preliminary title report and the lender’s recording
instructions, with the original to be delivered within 180 days of the Closing
Date or an attorney’s opinion of title in jurisdictions where such is the
customary evidence of title; and
(v) if
such
Mortgage Loan is a Buydown Mortgage Loan (as shown in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule), the original Buydown Agreement or a copy thereof.
In
instances where an original recorded Mortgage cannot be delivered by the
Depositor to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior to
or
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, due to a delay
in connection with the recording of such Mortgage, the Depositor may, (a) in
lieu of delivering such original recorded Mortgage referred to in clause (ii)
above, deliver to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a copy
thereof, provided that the Depositor certifies that the original Mortgage has
been delivered to a title insurance company for recordation after receipt of
its
policy of title insurance or binder therefor (which may be a certificate
relating to a master policy of title insurance), and (b) in lieu of delivering
the completed assignment in recordable form referred to in clause (iii) above
to
the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), deliver such assignment
to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) completed except for
recording information. In all such instances, the Depositor will deliver the
original recorded Mortgage and completed assignment (if applicable) to the
Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt of
such
Mortgage. In instances where an original recorded Mortgage has been lost or
misplaced, the Depositor or the related title insurance company may deliver,
in
lieu of such Mortgage, a copy of such Mortgage bearing recordation information
and certified as true and correct by the office in which recordation thereof
was
made. In instances where the original or a copy of the title insurance policy
referred to in clause (vi) above (which may be a certificate relating to a
master policy of title insurance) pertaining to the Mortgaged Property relating
to a Mortgage Loan cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or
a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement because such policy is not yet available, the
Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the original or a copy of such title
insurance referred to in clause (vi) above, deliver to the Trustee (or a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a binder with respect to such policy (which
may be a certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance) and deliver
the original or a copy of such policy (which may be a certificate relating
to a
master policy of title insurance) to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee) within 180 days of the Closing Date, in instances where an original
assumption, modification, buydown or conversion-to-fixed- interest-rate
agreement cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or a Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, the Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the original of
such
agreement referred to in clause (iv) above, deliver a certified copy
thereof.
To
the
extent not already recorded, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which
MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of
the
Mortgage as the mortgagee of record, the Master Servicer, at the expense of
the
Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than five Business Days following
the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Master Servicer
of
the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be submitted for
recording, at no expense to any Trust REMIC, in the appropriate public office
for real property records, each Assignment delivered to it pursuant to (iii)
above. In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded
because of a defect therein, the Master Servicer, at the expense of the Seller,
shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure
or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause
each
such Assignment to be duly recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without
limiting the requirement that such Assignments be in recordable form, neither
the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required to submit or cause to
be
submitted for recording any Assignment delivered to it or a Custodian pursuant
to (iii) above if such recordation shall not, as of the Closing Date, be
required by the Rating Agencies, as a condition to their assignment on the
Closing Date of their initial ratings to the Certificates, as evidenced by
the
delivery by the Rating Agencies of their ratings letters on the Closing Date;
provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
submit each Assignment for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the
Master Servicer, upon the earliest to occur of: (A) reasonable direction by
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (B)
the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination, (C) the occurrence of
a
bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (D) the occurrence
of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of this Agreement and
(E)
with respect to any one Assignment the occurrence of a foreclosure relating
to
the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the
Seller fails to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will
be
paid by the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed for
such
expenses by the Trust as set forth herein.
In
connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS
System, the Depositor further agrees that it will cause, within 30 Business
Days
after the Closing Date, the MERS System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans
have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this
Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including in such
computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee
and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the series of the
Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Depositor
further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the Master Servicer to,
and
the Master Servicer agrees that it will not and will not permit a Sub-Servicer
to, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any Mortgage
Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until such Mortgage Loan
is
repurchased in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
With
respect to a maximum of approximately 5.00% of the Original Mortgage Loans,
by
outstanding principal balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in (i) above cannot be located,
the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed
to be
satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee)
of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit.
If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was
delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) is
subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the
Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within three Business
Days.
The
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian
on behalf of the Trustee) promptly upon receipt thereof any other original
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing
an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage
Loan.
All
original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not delivered to
the
Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) are and shall be held by
or on
behalf of the Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may
be,
in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
In
the event that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms
of
this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered
promptly to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee). Any such
original document delivered to or held by the Depositor that is not required
pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall
be
delivered promptly to the Master Servicer.
Wherever
it is provided in this Section 2.01 that any document, evidence or information
relating to a Mortgage Loan be delivered or supplied to the Trustee, the
Depositor shall do so by delivery thereof to the Trustee or Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee.
It
is
agreed and understood by the parties hereto that it is not intended that any
Mortgage Loan to be included in the Trust Fund be (i) a “High-Cost Home Loan” as
defined in the New Jersey Home Ownership Act effective November 27, 2003, (ii)
a
“High-Cost Home Loan” as defined in the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act
effective January 1, 2004, (iii) a “High-Cost Home Mortgage Loan” as defined in
the Massachusetts Predatory Home Loan Practices Act effective November 7, 2004
or (iv) a “High Cost Home Loan” as defined in the Indiana Home Loan Practices
Act effective January 1, 2005. It is agreed and understood by the parties hereto
that it is not intended that any Mortgage Loan to be included in the Trust
Fund
not
comply in all material respects with applicable local, state and federal laws,
including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and abusive lending
laws.
SECTION
2.02 Acceptance
of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.
Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on an
exception report delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than
such documents described in Section 2.01(iv)) and all other assets included
in
the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it holds and will hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage
File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets
included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The
Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt, subject to
the
review described in the succeeding sentence, of the documents and other property
referred to in Section 2.01 and declares that the Trustee (or a Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee) holds and will hold such documents and other property,
including property yet to be received in the Trust Fund, in trust, upon the
trusts herein set forth, for the benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall, for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File
within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement, to ascertain
that
all required documents have been executed, received and recorded, if applicable,
and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in the course of such
review the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf finds a document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective in any material respect,
the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall promptly so notify the Depositor,
the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Seller, the Master Servicer
and,
if such notice is from a Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf, the Trustee. In
addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, the Paying Agent or the Trustee of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects
such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related Certificateholders in such
Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other parties.
The
Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and transfer herein
contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage
Notes
and the related documents, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any
liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be part of the
Depositor’s estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any insolvency
by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be, or to
be
made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor shall be
deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first priority
perfected security interest in all of the Depositor’s right, title and interest
in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the related
documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law.
The
Trustee may, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof or at any
time
thereafter, enter into a custodial agreement with a Custodian pursuant to which
the Trustee appoints a Custodian to hold the Mortgage Files on behalf of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee and all present and future
Certificateholders, which may provide that the Custodian shall, on behalf of
the
Trustee, conduct the review of each Mortgage File required under the first
paragraph of this Section 2.02. Initially, Citibank (West), a federal savings
bank, is appointed as Custodian with respect to the Mortgage Files of all the
Mortgage Loans and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is
understood that such initial Custodian shall be responsible for the review
contemplated in the second paragraph of this Section 2.02 and for all other
functions relating to the receipt, review, reporting and certification provided
for herein with respect to the Mortgage Files (other than ownership thereof
for
the benefit of the Certificateholders and related duties and obligations set
forth herein).
SECTION
2.03 Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller or the Depositor.
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of notice by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee of any materially defective document in, or that
a
document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by the Seller of
any
representation, warranty or covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects the value
of
such Mortgage Loan or the interest therein of the Certificateholders, the party
so discovering or receiving notice shall promptly notify the other parties
to
this Agreement, and the Trustee thereupon shall promptly notify the Seller
of
such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver
such
missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date
the
Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the
Seller does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach
in
all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the
obligations of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (i) to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I-A or REMIC II at the Purchase Price
within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified (subject to
Section 2.03(e)) of such missing document, defect or breach, and (ii) to
indemnify the Trust Fund in respect of such missing document, defect or breach,
in the case of each of (i) and (ii), if and to the extent that the Seller is
obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Purchase
Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan and any indemnification shall be
remitted by the Seller to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection
Account, and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of written notice from the
Master Servicer of such deposit, shall give written notice to the Trustee that
such deposit has taken place and the Trustee shall release (or cause a Custodian
to release on its behalf) to the Seller the related Mortgage File, and the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments
of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall
furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage
Loan
released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall
have
no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In furtherance
of
the foregoing, if the Seller is not a member of MERS and repurchases a Mortgage
Loan which is registered on the MERS System, the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement at its own expense and without any right of
reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the
Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller
and
shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS System
in
accordance with MERS rules and regulations. In lieu of repurchasing any such
Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC
I-A
or REMIC II (in which case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans in the manner and
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d). It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to
substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material
defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has
occurred and is continuing, and if and to the extent provided in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement to perform any applicable indemnification obligations
with respect to any such omission, defect or breach, as provided in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, shall constitute the only remedies respecting such
omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
on behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Reserved.
(c) Within
90
days of the earlier of discovery by the Master Servicer or receipt of notice
by
the Master Servicer of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
of
the Master Servicer set forth in Section 2.05 which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects.
(d) Any
substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage Loans
made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected prior to the date which is
two
years after the Startup Day for REMIC I-A or REMIC II.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller
delivering to the Trustee (or to a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as
applicable), for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment in blank or to the Trustee, and such other
documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, as are
required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers’ Certificate providing that
each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the definition thereof
and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as described below), if any,
in connection with such substitution. A Custodian on its behalf and on behalf
of
the Trustee shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, review each
Mortgage File within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement,
to
ascertain that all required documents have been executed, received and recorded,
if applicable, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in
the
course of such review the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf finds a document
or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective in any
material respect, the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall promptly so
notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Seller and the Master
Servicer. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust Fund and will
be
retained by the Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will reflect the Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage
Loan on or before the Due Date in the month of substitution, and the Seller
shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received in
respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Trust Administrator shall give or
cause to be given written notice to the Trustee and the Certificateholders
that
such substitution has taken place, and the Trust Administrator shall amend
or
cause the Custodian to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal
of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the
substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and, upon
receipt thereof, shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule
to
the Master Servicer. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be subject
in
all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement (including all applicable representations and warranties thereof
included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), in each case as of the date
of substitution.
For
any
month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine
the amount (the “Substitution Shortfall Amount”), if any, by which the aggregate
Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of,
as
to each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance
thereof as of the date of substitution, together with one month’s interest on
such Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Mortgage Loan Remittance
Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Trustee will monitor the obligation
of the Seller to deliver or cause to be delivered, and shall request that such
delivery be to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, an
amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee
(or a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable), upon receipt of the related
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and written notice given by the
Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related
Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest
therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on any Trust
REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax imposed on “prohibited
transactions” under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on “contributions after
the startup date” under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or (b) any Trust REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is
outstanding.
(e) Upon
discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or
the
Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a “qualified mortgage” within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such fact
shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other parties
to this Agreement, and the Trustee shall give written notice thereof to the
Seller. In connection therewith, the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement or the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement shall repurchase
or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d), substitute one
or
more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected Mortgage Loan within
90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such notice with respect
to
such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or substitution shall be made
by
(i) the Seller if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified
mortgage is or results from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant
made by the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or (ii) the
Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan’s status as a non-qualified mortgage is
a breach of no representation or warranty. Any such repurchase or substitution
shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Sections 2.03(a) and 2.03(d).
The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may
be,
the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto in the same manner, and on
the
same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Seller
for breach of a representation or warranty.

ARTICLE
III
ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING
OF
THE
MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION
3.01 Master
Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of
the
Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit of the
Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer in its reasonable
judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective
Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the same manner
in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its own
portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice
of prudent mortgage lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage
loans but without regard to:
(i) any
relationship that the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of
the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer may have with the related
Mortgagor;
(ii) the
ownership of any Certificate by the Master Servicer or any Affiliate of the
Master Servicer;
(iii) the
Master Servicer’s obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing Advances;
or
(iv) the
Master Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s right to receive compensation for its
services hereunder or with respect to any particular transaction.
To
the
extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall also seek to
maximize the timely and complete recovery of principal and interest on the
Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the above-described servicing standards and
the
terms of this Agreement and of the respective Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through
Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do or cause to be done any and
all
things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem
necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Master Servicer in its own name or in the name of a Sub-Servicer is hereby
authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Master Servicer believes it
appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with the servicing standards
set
forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the
Trustee, and upon notice to the Trustee, any and all instruments of satisfaction
or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged
Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or obtain a deed-in-lieu
of
foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such properties, and to hold
or
cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf of the Trustee and
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall service and administer the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal law and shall
provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to them thereby.
The Master Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this Agreement
with
all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under each Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy and any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject
to
Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the written request of the Master
Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer and any Sub-Servicer such documents
as are necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and administrative duties hereunder,
and the Trustee hereby grants to the Master Servicer a power of attorney to
carry out such duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicers under such powers of attorney.
In
accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer
shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for the purpose of
effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties, which advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in the
first
instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.09,
and further as provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the Master
Servicer or by Sub- Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes and
assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of calculating
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance
of
the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage
Loan
so permit.
The
Master Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf
of
the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Sub-Servicer, when the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may
be,
believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan
on
the MERS System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan
on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording
of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses (i) incurred as a result of
MERS
discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with
the
MERS System or (ii) if the affected Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the
judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable,
incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence,
shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer from the Collection
Account.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer may not make
any
future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan (except as provided in Section
4.03) and the Master Servicer shall not (i) permit any modification with respect
to any Mortgage Loan (except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is in default
or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably
foreseeable) that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the
principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of
principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan or (ii)
permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan
that would both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan
under
Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as
a
REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions”
or “contributions after the startup date” under the REMIC
Provisions.
The
Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this Agreement;
provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the Master Servicer
from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this
Agreement.
The
Master Servicer shall accurately and fully report (or cause each Sub-Servicer
to
accurately and fully report), its borrower credit files to each of the credit
repositories in a timely manner.
SECTION
3.02 Sub-Servicing
Agreements Between the Master Servicer and Sub-Servicers.
(a) The
Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements
(provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a downgrading
by the Rating Agencies of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with
Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.
As of
the Cut-Off Date, Xxxxx Fargo is the Sub-Servicer with respect to the Group
I
Loans and in such capacity Xxxxx Fargo will be primarily responsible for the
servicing of such Mortgage Loans. As of the Cut-Off Date, Washington Mutual
is
the Sub-Servicer with respect to the Group II Mortgage Loans and in such
capacity Washington Mutual will be primarily responsible for the servicing
of
such Mortgage Loans.
(b) Each
Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business in the state or states
in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if
and
to the extent required by applicable law to enable the Sub-Servicer to perform
its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-Servicing Agreement, (ii) an
institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the Federal Housing
Administration or an institution the deposit accounts of which are insured
by
the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage servicer.
Each
Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer requirements conforming
to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide for servicing of the
Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer
will examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be familiar with the terms
thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will not be inconsistent
with
any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer and the
Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the Sub-Servicing Agreements
or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided, however,
that any such amendments or different forms shall be consistent with and not
violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no such amendment or
different form shall be made or entered into which could be reasonably expected
to be materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders, without
the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting
Rights. Any variation without the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the provisions set forth
in
Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority requirements of Sub-Servicing
Accounts, or credits and charges to the Sub- Servicing Accounts or the timing
and amount of remittances by the Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are
conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with this Agreement and therefore
prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or
modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer’s execution and
delivery of such instruments.
(c) As
part
of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer (except as otherwise
provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the benefit of the Trustee
and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer
under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and of the Seller under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, any obligation to make
advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a Sub- Servicing
Agreement, or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on account of missing or defective
documentation or on account of a breach of a representation, warranty or
covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a). Such enforcement, including, without
limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such
form
and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer,
in
its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related
Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement
at
its own expense, and shall be reimbursed therefor only (i) from a general
recovery resulting from such enforcement, to the extent, if any, that such
recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the related Mortgage Loans,
or
(ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the
party against whom such enforcement is directed.
SECTION
3.03 Successor
Sub-Servicers.
The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement
and
the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer pursuant to any Sub-Servicing
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing
Agreement. In the event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing
obligations of such Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master
Servicer without any act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master
Servicer, and the Master Servicer either shall service directly the related
Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor
Sub-Servicer which qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement (other than any Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement) shall
include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by
the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator without fee, in accordance with the terms
of
this Agreement, in the event that the Master Servicer shall, for any reason,
no
longer be the Master Servicer (including termination due to a Master Servicer
Event of Default).
SECTION
3.04 Liability
of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding
any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating
to
agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or
reference to actions taken through a Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master
Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee and the
Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans
in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the Sub-Servicer and to the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer
alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer
shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Sub- Servicer for
indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
SECTION
3.05 No
Contractual Relationship Between Sub-Servicers and Trustee, Trust Administrator
or Certificateholders.
Any
Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer in its capacity
as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the Master Servicer
alone, and the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the Certificateholders
shall
not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations,
duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth
in
Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed
by it
to any Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Master Servicer’s compensation
pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
SECTION
3.06 Assumption
or Termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements by Trustee.
In
the
event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the master servicer
(including by reason of the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default),
the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under each Sub-Servicing Agreement that
the
Master Servicer may have entered into, unless the Trustee elects to terminate
any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section
3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer
for the Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject
to
Section 3.03, to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein and
to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement
to the same extent as if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to
the
assuming party, except that (i) the Master Servicer shall not thereby be
relieved of any liability or obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement
and
(ii) none of the Trustee, its designee or any successor Master Servicer shall
be
deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation of the Master Servicer that
arose before it ceased to be the Master Servicer.
The
Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver
to
the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Sub-Servicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub- Servicing
Agreements to the assuming party.
SECTION
3.07 Collection
of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The
Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called
for
under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and shall, to the extent
such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and
provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and any other
applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures as it would
follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and
held
for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing and the servicing standards
set forth in Section 3.01, the Master Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive
any late payment charge or, if applicable, penalty interest, only upon
determining that the coverage of such Mortgage Loan by the related Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, will not be affected, or (ii) extend the
due
dates for Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period of not greater
than 180 days; provided that any extension pursuant to clause (ii) above shall
not affect the amortization schedule of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of any
computation hereunder, except as provided below. In the event of any such
arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Master Servicer shall make timely
advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.03
and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangements. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment
of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable, the Master
Servicer, consistent with the standards set forth in Section 3.01, may waive,
modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that
change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend
the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), accept payment from the related
Mortgagor of an amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final
satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan (such payment, a “Short Pay-off”) or consent
to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor, if in the Master Servicer’s determination such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse
to
the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into account any estimated
Realized Loss that might result absent such action).
SECTION
3.08 Sub-Servicing
Accounts.
In
those
cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a
Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required to establish and
maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Sub-Servicing Account”). The
Sub-Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall comply with all
requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account (provided,
however, that in the case of each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, the
applicable Sub-Servicing Account shall comply with all requirements of the
Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement relating to the custodial account provided
for
therein). The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the clearing account (which account
must be an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and
collections on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing
activities on a daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after
the Sub-Servicer’s receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by
the Sub-Servicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by
the
Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the
Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit
of such funds into the clearing account. The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter
remit
such proceeds to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account
not
later than two Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the
Sub-Servicing Account (or, in the case of the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement,
at such time as is required pursuant to the terms of the Initial Sub-Servicing
Agreement). For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be deemed
to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Sub-Servicer receives
such payments.
SECTION
3.09 Collection
of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts.
The
Master Servicer shall establish and maintain (or cause a Sub-Servicer to
establish and maintain) one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into
which all collections from the Mortgagors (or related advances from
Sub-Servicers) for the payment of ground rents, taxes, assessments, fire and
hazard insurance premiums, Primary Mortgage Insurance Premiums, water charges,
sewer rents and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors (“Escrow
Payments”) shall be deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible
Accounts. The Master Servicer (or the applicable Sub-Servicer) shall deposit
in
the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than two Business Days after the Master Servicer’s (or the applicable
Sub-Servicer’s) receipt thereof, all Escrow Payments collected on account of the
Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the
Servicing Accounts, in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit
of
such funds in the clearing account, for the purpose of effecting the payment
of
any such items as required under the terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of
amounts from a Servicing Account may be made only to (i) effect payment of
Escrow Payments; (ii) reimburse the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the
extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement) out of related
collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with respect to
taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to hazard insurance);
(iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv)
pay interest, if required and as described below, to Mortgagors on balances
in
the Servicing Account; (v) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the
termination of the Master Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities in respect
of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in accordance with Article IX; or
(vi) recover amounts deposited in error. As part of its servicing duties, the
Master Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds
in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that
interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts is insufficient, to pay
such
interest from its or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. To
the
extent that a Mortgage does not provide for Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer
shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner
and at a time that avoids the loss of the Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale
or the foreclosure of a tax lien. The Master Servicer assumes full
responsibility for the payment of all such bills and shall effect payments
of
all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor’s faithful performance in the
payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments and shall make advances
from its own funds to effect such payments.
SECTION
3.10 Collection
Account and Distribution Account.
(a) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or
more
separate, segregated trust accounts (such account or accounts, the “Collection
Account”), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must
be
an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections
on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities
on a
daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Master
Servicer’s receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection
Account, in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds
into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required
hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it from
and after the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest
on
the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments
(other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off
Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all
payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments, on the
Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all
payments on account of interest (net of the related Servicing Fee and the
related Administration Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all
Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (other than
proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property and amounts paid
by
the Master Servicer in connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties pursuant to Section 9.01);
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12 in connection with
any
losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the
Collection Account;
(v) any
amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to the second
paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect of any blanket policy
deductibles;
(vi) all
proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased in accordance with
Section 2.03 or Section 9.01;
(vii)
all
amounts required to be deposited in connection with shortfalls in principal
amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
2.03;
(viii) [reserved];
and
(viv) any
amounts required to be transferred from any Buydown Account pursuant to Section
3.28.
For
purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Cut-off Date with respect
to
any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to be the date of
substitution.
The
foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Accounts shall be
exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges or assumption
fees need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account.
In
the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount
not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount
from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
(b) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trust Administrator shall
establish and maintain one or more separate, segregated trust accounts (such
account or accounts, the “Distribution Account”), held in trust for the benefit
of the Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Paying Agent in immediately available funds for deposit
in
the Distribution Account on or before 12:00 p.m. New York time (i) on the Master
Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the Available Distribution Amount
(calculated without regard to the subtraction therefrom of any amounts described
in clause (ii)(a) of the definition thereof) for the related Distribution Date
then on deposit in the Collection Account and (ii) on each Business Day as
of
the commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account
exceeds $75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding
sentence, the amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account
constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition
of “Eligible Account.” If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account
exceeds $75,000 as of the commencement of business on any Business Day and
the
Collection Account constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause
(ii) of the definition of “Eligible Account,” the Master Servicer shall, on or
before 12:00 p.m. New York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the
Collection Account any and all amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Seller or any
Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay such amounts to the Persons
entitled thereto.
(c) Funds
in
the Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The
Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the
Paying Agent and the Depositor of the location of the Collection Account
maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Paying
Agent shall give notice to the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the
Paying Agent and the Depositor of the location of the Distribution Account
when
established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) Funds
held in the Collection Account at any time may be delivered by the Master
Servicer to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trust Administrator for deposit
in
an account (which may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards
for the Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for
all
purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection
Account; provided, however, that the Paying Agent shall have the sole authority
to withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event the
Master Servicer shall deliver to the Paying Agent for deposit in the
Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at
any time request that the Paying Agent withdraw such amount from the
Distribution Account and remit to it any such amount, any provision herein
to
the contrary notwithstanding. In addition, the Master Servicer shall deliver
to
the Paying Agent from time to time for deposit, and upon written notification
from the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent shall so deposit, in the Distribution
Account:
(i) any
P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;
(ii) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.23(d) or (f) in
connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any
amounts to be paid by the Master Servicer in connection with a purchase of
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01;
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection with
any
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; and
(v) any
Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy court having
jurisdiction in such matters.
(e) Promptly
upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the Master Servicer, a trustee
in
bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Paying Agent shall
deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof
as
permitted hereunder.
(f) The
Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required
to
be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in connection with losses realized
on
Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection
Account.
SECTION
3.11 Withdrawals
from the Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection
Account for any of the following purposes or as described in Section
4.03:
(i) to
remit
to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Distribution Account the amounts required
to be so remitted pursuant to Section 3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted
pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Master Servicer for P&I Advances, but
only to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections (net
of
the related Servicing Fees and Administration Fees) of Monthly Payments on
Mortgage Loans with respect to which such P&I Advances were made in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03;
(iii) subject
to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Master Servicer or any Sub- Servicer (A) any
unpaid Servicing Fees and unpaid Administration Fees, (B) any unreimbursed
Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent
of
any Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or other amounts as may be
collected by the Master Servicer from a Mortgagor, or otherwise received with
respect to such Mortgage Loan and (C) any nonrecoverable Servicing Advances
following the final liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent
that
Late Collections, Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with
respect to such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer
or any Sub-Servicer for such Servicing Advances;
(iv) to
pay to
the Master Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing
Fee
and the Administration Fee) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date any interest
or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection
Account;
(v) to
pay to
the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced
pursuant to Section 2.03 all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date
of
purchase or substitution, as the case may be;
(vi) to
reimburse the Master Servicer for any P&I Advance previously made which the
Master Servicer has determined to be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03;
(vii) to
reimburse the Master Servicer or the Depositor for expenses incurred by or
reimbursable to the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be,
pursuant to Section 6.03;
(viii) to
reimburse the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as the
case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect
giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 of
this Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage Loan,
including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the purchase
obligation;
(ix) to
pay,
or to reimburse the Master Servicer for advances in respect of expenses incurred
in connection with any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(b);
(x) [reserved];
and
(xi) to
clear
and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to Section 9.01.
The
Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Mortgage
Loan
by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Collection Account, to the extent held by or on behalf of it, pursuant to
subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) above. The Master
Servicer shall provide written notification to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Paying Agent, on or prior to the next succeeding Master
Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection
Account pursuant to subclause (vii) above.
(b) The
Paying Agent shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution
Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:
(i) to
make
distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section
4.01;
(ii) to
pay to
itself any interest income earned on funds deposited in the Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 3.12(c);
(iii) to
reimburse the Trust Administrator or the Trustee pursuant to Section
7.02;
(iv) to
pay
any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to 10.01(g)(iii);
(v) to
pay
any Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses;
(vi) to
reimburse the Paying Agent or the Trustee for any P&I Advance made by it
under Section 7.01 (if not reimbursed by the Master Servicer) to the same extent
the Master Servicer would be entitled to reimbursement under Section 3.11(a);
and
(vii) to
clear
and terminate the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.01.
SECTION
3.12 Investment
of Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account.
(a) The
Master Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection
Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an “Investment Account”), and the
Paying Agent may direct any depository institution maintaining the Distribution
Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, also an “Investment Account”), to
hold the funds in such Investment Account uninvested or to invest the funds
in
such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments specified in such
instruction bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable
on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date
on
which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to
this
Agreement, if a Person other than the Paying Agent is the obligor thereon,
and
(ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Paying Agent is the obligor
thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless
payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be
made in the name of the Trust Administrator (in its capacity as such) or in
the
name of a nominee of the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall
be
entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of
funds held in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account and any income
and gain realized thereon) over each such investment, and any certificate or
other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly
to
the Trust Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer
necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trust Administrator or
its
nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any
time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Trust
Administrator shall:
(x)
|
consistent
with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment
thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise
mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts
then
payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on
such
date; and
|
(y)
|
demand
payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination
by a
Responsible Officer of the Trust Administrator that such Permitted
Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect
of funds
thereafter on deposit in the Investment
Account.
|
(b) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall be for
the
benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in
accordance with Section 3.11. The Master Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect
of
any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately
upon
realization of such loss.
(c) All
income and gain realized from the investment of funds deposited in the
Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Paying Agent, shall be for
the
benefit of the Paying Agent and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any time.
The Paying Agent shall deposit in the Distribution Account the amount of any
loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made
with
funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.
(d) Except
as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the
making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs
in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Trustee
may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02(a)(v), upon the request of
the
Holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Voting Rights
allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take such action as may be
appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
SECTION
3.13 Maintenance
of the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.
The
Master Servicer will maintain or cause the related Sub-Servicer, if any, to
maintain in full force and effect, if required under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement and to the extent available, a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy
with
respect to each Mortgage Loan so insured as of the Closing Date (or, in the case
of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, on the date of substitution). Such
coverage will be maintained with respect to each such Mortgage Loan for so
long
as it is outstanding, subject to any applicable laws or until the related
Loan-to-Value Ratio is reduced to less than or equal to 80% based on Mortgagor
payments. The Master Servicer shall cause the premium for each Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy to be paid on a timely basis and shall pay such premium out
of
its own funds if it is not otherwise paid. The Master Servicer or the related
Sub-Servicer, if any, will not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing Date (or, in the case of
a
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, on the date of substitution) that is
required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a replacement Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed policy is obtained
from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer.
The
Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Sub-Servicer to take, any action
which would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the Master Servicer
or Sub-Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master Servicer will
comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and
requirements of each insurer under each Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy.
In
connection with any assumption and modification agreement or substitution of
liability agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section
3.15,
the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such assumption in accordance with the
terms of such policies and shall take all actions which may be required by
such
insurer as a condition to the continuation of coverage under the Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy. If any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy is
terminated as a result of such assumption, the Master Servicer or the related
Sub-Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as
provided above.
In
connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms
of
such policies and, in this regard, to take such action as shall be necessary
to
permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy respecting a
defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under
any
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be deposited in the Collection Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11; and any amounts collected by
the
Master Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in respect of any
REO Property shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.23. In those cases in which a Mortgage Loan is serviced
by
a Sub-Servicer, the Sub-Servicer, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the
Certificateholders, will present claims to the insurer under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy and all collections thereunder shall be deposited
initially in the Sub-Servicing Account.
SECTION
3.14 Maintenance
of Hazard Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan fire
insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged Property in an amount
which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current principal balance of
such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage
or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on a replacement
cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements which
are a
part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an amount not less than such
amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any coinsurance clause
contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Master Servicer shall
also
cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum
insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii)
the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time
it
became an REO Property, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Rate and related
Servicing Advances. The Master Servicer will comply in the performance of this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under
any
such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the Master Servicer under
any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair
of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts to be released to
the
Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the Master Servicer would
follow in servicing loans held for its own account, subject to the terms and
conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note) shall be deposited in
the
Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.11, if received
in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal
pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost
incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not,
for
the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to
the
unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that
the
terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no
earthquake or other additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor
other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any
time
be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged
Property or REO Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal
Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood
hazards, the Master Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance
policy in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal
to
the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan
and
(ii) the maximum amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged
Property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area
in
which such Mortgaged Property is located is participating in such
program).
In
the
event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket policy with
an insurer having a General Policy Rating of A:X or better in Best’s Key Rating
Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to such rating) insuring against
hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it shall conclusively be deemed
to
have satisfied its obligations as set forth in the first two sentences of this
Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that
there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO
Property a policy complying with the first two sentences of this Section 3.14,
and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered
by
such policy, deposit to the Collection Account from its own funds the amount
not
otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause.
In
connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy
in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy
or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure in the
performance of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement, which
policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loans, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver of such
requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Master Servicer shall also
maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements
of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver
of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Master Servicer shall
provide the Trustee and the Paying Agent (upon the Trustee’s or Paying Agent’s
reasonable request) with copies of any such insurance policies and fidelity
bond. The Master Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision
if an Affiliate of the Master Servicer has such errors and omissions and
fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such insurance policy or fidelity
bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer. Any
such
errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond shall by its terms not be
cancelable without thirty days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. The Master
Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer to maintain a policy of insurance
covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond which would meet such
requirements.
SECTION
3.15 Enforcement
of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
The
Master Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of any conveyance or
prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any Mortgagor (whether
by
absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or not the Mortgagor
remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage),
exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan under
the
“due-on-sale” clause, if any, applicable thereto; provided, however, that the
Master Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from
doing so or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair
any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. If
the
Master Servicer reasonably believes it is unable under applicable law to enforce
such “due-on-sale” clause, or if any of the other conditions set forth in the
proviso to the preceding sentence apply, the Master Servicer will enter into
an
assumption and modification agreement from or with the person to whom such
property has been conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which
such
person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted
by
applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Master Servicer
is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with
such
person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability
and
such person is substituted as the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note, provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless
such
person satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Master Servicer. In connection
with any assumption or substitution, the Master Servicer shall apply such
underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies
to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Master Servicer shall not take
or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to
the
extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation,
in
writing, of the continued effectiveness of any applicable Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting the
requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by the Master
Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement
will
be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. In
connection with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note
(including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the amount of the
Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required
pursuant to the terms thereof. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee
that
any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding
to the Custodian (with a copy to the Trustee) the executed original of such
substitution or assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the
related Mortgage File and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of
such
Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments
constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any other violation
of
its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by
operation of law or by the terms of the Mortgage Note or any assumption which
the Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason
whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “assumption” is deemed to
also include a sale (of the Mortgaged Property) subject to the Mortgage that
is
not accompanied by an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement.
SECTION
3.16 Realization
Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall, consistent with the servicing standard set forth in
Section 3.01, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership
of
properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in
default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection
of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Master Servicer shall
be
responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings;
provided, however, that such costs and expenses will be recoverable as Servicing
Advances by the Master Servicer as contemplated in Section 3.11 and Section
3.23. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which
Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the
Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own funds toward the
restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its discretion that
such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related
Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.16 or any other provision of this
Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer
has
received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic
or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer
shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged
Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii)
otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to,
such
Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, the Trust
Fund, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Certificateholders
would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in- possession” of, or
to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Master
Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and
a
report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using
customary industry standards, that:
(1) such
Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or,
if
not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take
such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance
therewith; and
(2) there
are
no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use,
management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials,
hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any
federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are
present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect to the
affected Mortgaged Property.
The
cost
of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.23 shall be
advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to be
reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received
in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to bring any
such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws,
or
to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation
of
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Master Servicer shall
take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust
Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation
shall
be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to be
reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section
3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received
in
respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c) The
Master Servicer shall have the right to purchase from the Trust Fund any
defaulted Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent, which the Master
Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure
proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to
the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator prior to purchase), at a price equal to
the
Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder
shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee (or a Custodian
on
behalf of the Trustee), upon receipt of written certification from the Master
Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Master
Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee), upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer
of
such deposit, shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or
assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Master Servicer shall furnish
and as shall be necessary to vest in the Master Servicer title to any Mortgage
Loan released pursuant hereto.
(d) Proceeds
received in connection with any Final Recovery Determination, as well as any
recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds or
Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan, will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I
Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii)(B); second, to accrued
and
unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of the Final Recovery
Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution Date on which such
amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a Final Recovery
Determination; and third, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan.
If
the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than the full amount
of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such
recovery will be allocated by the Master Servicer as follows: first, to unpaid
Servicing Fees and Administration Fees; and second, to the balance of the
interest then due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid
Servicing Fees and unpaid Administration Fees shall be reimbursed to the Master
Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iii)(A).
SECTION
3.17 Trustee
to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon
the
payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer
of a
notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for
such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, by a certification in the form of Exhibit E (which
certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.10 have been or will
be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request that the Custodian,
on
behalf of the Trustee, deliver to it the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such
certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall
promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the
Master Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on
the
MERS® System of any such Mortgage, if applicable, and to execute and deliver, on
behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release.
No
expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed
of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account or the Distribution
Account.
The
Trustee (or a Custodian on its behalf) shall, at the written request and expense
of any Certificateholder, provide a written report to such Certificateholder
of
all Mortgage Files released to the Master Servicer for servicing
purposes.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or any other insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans,
the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon request of the Master
Servicer and delivery to the Custodian and the Trustee of a Request for Release
in the form of Exhibit E-l, release the related Mortgage File to the Master
Servicer, and the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, at the direction
of the Master Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request for Release shall obligate
the
Master Servicer to return each and every document previously requested from
the
Mortgage File to the Custodian when the need therefor by the Master Servicer
no
longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection
Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney,
or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes
of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure
of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Master
Servicer has delivered to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, a certificate
of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person
to
which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or
purposes of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer
stating that such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received
or
to be received in connection with such liquidation that are required to be
deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such
Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release
shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Master
Servicer.
(c) Upon
written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale
or other documents reasonably necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in
respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain
a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by
the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each
such
certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be
executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or
pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the
Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except
for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or
trustee’s sale.
SECTION
3.18 Servicing
Compensation.
As
compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer hereunder, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and the Administration Fee
and
Buydown Funds with respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments
of
interest in respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition,
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees and
unpaid Administration Fees out of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds
to
the extent permitted by Section 3.11(a)(iii)(A) and out of amounts derived
from
the operation and sale of an REO Property to the extent permitted by Section
3.23. The right to receive the Servicing Fee and the Administration Fee may
not
be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of
all
of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement.
Additional
servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees, late payment charges
and
other similar fees and charges shall be retained by the Master Servicer (subject
to Section 3.24) only to the extent such fees or charges are received by the
Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section
3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account, and pursuant to Section
3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as additional servicing compensation,
interest or other income earned on deposits therein, subject to Section 3.12
and
Section 3.24. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred
by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including premiums
due under any Primary Insurance Policies, if applicable, premiums for the
insurance required by Section 3.14, to the extent such premiums are not paid
by
the related Mortgagors or by a Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each
Sub-Servicer, and to the extent provided herein in Section 8.05, the fees and
expenses of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator) and shall not be entitled
to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.
SECTION
3.19 Reports
to the Trust Administrator; Collection Account Statements.
Not
later
than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall
forward to the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, upon the request of the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee, a statement prepared by the Master Servicer
setting forth the status of the Collection Account as of the close of business
on the last day of the calendar month relating to such Distribution Date and
showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate amount of
deposits into and withdrawals from the Collection Account of each category
of
deposit specified in Section 3.10(a) and each category of withdrawal specified

Xxx Monthly Accounting Report for its Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program
with appropriate additions and changes, and shall also include information
as to
the aggregate of the outstanding principal balances of all of the Mortgage
Loans
as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution
Date. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Trust Administrator
to
the Certificates Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall provide the
same

Registrar as a prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and
at
the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by
the
Master Servicer to the Trust Administrator and by the Trust Administrator to
the
Certificate Registrar.
SECTION
3.20 Statement
as to Compliance.
The
Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator,
on
or before March 15th
of each
calendar year beginning in 2007, an Officers’ Certificate (an “Annual Statement
of Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of
performance under this Agreement has been made under such officers’ supervision
and (ii) to the best of such officers’ knowledge, based on such review, the
Master Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in
all
material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been a failure to
fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such
failure known to such officer and the nature and status of cure provisions
thereof. The Master Servicer shall deliver, or cause any Sub-Servicer to
deliver, a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by any Sub-Servicer to which
any servicing responsibilities have been delegated with respect to the Mortgage
Loans, to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator as described above as and
when required with respect to the Master Servicer.
If
the
Master Servicer cannot deliver the related Annual Statement of Compliance by
March 15th
of such
year, the Trustee, at the direction of the Depositor, may permit a cure period
for the Master Servicer to deliver such Annual Statement of Compliance, but
in
no event later than March 18th
of such
year.
Failure
of the Master Servicer to comply with this Section 3.20 shall be deemed a Master
Servicer Event of Default and the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor
shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement
and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific
performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans
and
the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the same.
This
paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this Agreement or any other
agreement to the contrary.
The
Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its
officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain
based
upon a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Section
3.20.
SECTION
3.21 Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation Reports.
(a) The
Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria (as set forth in
Exhibit C hereto). The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the
Trust Administrator or cause to be delivered to the Depositor and the Trust
Administrator, on or before March 1st
of each
calendar year beginning in 2007, the following:
(i) a
report
(an “Assessment of Compliance”) regarding the Master Servicer’s assessment of
compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar
year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item
1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be signed by an authorized officer
of
the Master Servicer, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria set forth
in Exhibit C hereto;
(ii) a
report
(an “Attestation Report”) of a registered public accounting firm reasonably
acceptable to the Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment
of
compliance made by the Master Servicer and delivered pursuant to the preceding
paragraph. Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and
2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act;
(iii) from
each
Sub-Servicer, and each subcontractor determined by the Master Servicer to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when
provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.21(a); and
(iv) a
statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable
to
the Master Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it
performs with respect to asset-backed securities transactions taken as a whole
involving the Master Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type as the
Mortgage Loans.
(b) As
provided in 3.21(a)(iii) above, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause any
Sub-Servicer and each subcontractor determined by the Master Servicer to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB to, deliver to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor an
Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided
above.
Such
Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall at a minimum address
each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated
as applicable to any “primary servicer.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to
any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required to be delivered
unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to the Trust
Fund.
If
the
Master Servicer cannot deliver any Assessment of Compliance or Attestation
Report by March 1st
of such
year, the Trustee, at the direction of the Depositor, may permit a cure period
for the Master Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or Attestation
Report, but in no event later than March 15th
of such
year.
Failure
of the Master Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.21 shall be deemed
a
Master Servicer Event of Default, and upon the receipt of written notice from
the Trustee of such Event of Default, the Trustee at the direction of the
Depositor may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this
Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and
specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer
for the same. This paragraph shall supercede any other provision in this
Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
The
Trust
Administrator shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of
the
Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated as
applicable to the Trust Administrator. The Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar
and Authenticating Agent shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and
Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address
each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated
as applicable to the Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and Authenticating
Agent. The Master Servicer shall on behalf of the Trustee enforce the
obligations of the Custodian under the Custodial Agreement to provide an
Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as, when and to the extent
set
forth in the Custodial Agreement.
The
Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its
officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain
based
upon a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations, as applicable, under this
Section 3.21. The Trust Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any actual
losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such Person
may sustain based upon any failure of the Trust Administrator to deliver when
required its Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report. The Paying Agent,
Certificate Registrar and Authenticating Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses that such
Person may sustain based upon any failure of the Paying Agent, Certificate
Registrar and Authenticating Agent to deliver when required its Assessment
of
Compliance.
SECTION
3.22 Access
to
Certain Documentation.
The
Master Servicer shall provide to the Office of the Controller of the Currency,
the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any other federal or state
banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over
any
Certificateholder, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be afforded
without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business
hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it. In addition,
access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable
laws and regulations will be provided to such Certificateholder, the Trustee,
the Trust Administrator and to any Person identified to the Master Servicer
as a
prospective transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal
business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it at the
expense of the Person requesting such access.
SECTION
3.23 Title,
Management and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) The
deed
or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall be taken in the name of the
Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The
Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall either sell any REO Property
before the close of the third taxable year following the year the Trust Fund
acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8)
of
the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no later than 60 days
before the day on which the above three-year grace period would otherwise
expire, an extension of the above three-year grace period, unless the Master
Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the Trust
Fund of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year
after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of
taxes on “prohibited transactions” thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the
Code, or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal
law
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer shall
manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the
Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale
in
a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
“foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by any Trust REMIC of any “income from non-permitted
assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or any “net
income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC
Provisions.
(b) The
Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in
connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its
own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect
to
REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of
the
Certificateholders (the “REO Account”), which shall be an Eligible Account. The
Master Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection Account to serve
as
the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO Property. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any interest income paid on
funds deposited in the REO Account.
(c) The
Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the
specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all
things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner
in
which the Master Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the
Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period
as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders.
In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be
deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account)
in
which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in
connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and
in
no event more than two Business Days after the Master Servicer’s receipt
thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more
than
one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account,
all
revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw
therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance
of such REO Property including, without limitation:
(i) all
insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;
(ii) all
real
estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result
in
the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all
costs
and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
To
the
extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to an REO
Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through
(iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall advance
from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only
if, the Master Servicer would make such advances if the Master Servicer owned
the REO Property and if in the Master Servicer’s judgment, the payment of such
amounts will be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO
Property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, none of the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator or the
Trustee shall:
(i) authorize
the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to
any
REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that
does not constitute Rents from Real Property;
(ii) authorize
any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts
that
will constitute Rents from Real Property;
(iii) authorize
any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building
or
other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the
construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default
on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) authorize
any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days
after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund;
unless,
in any such case, the Master Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel,
provided to the Trust Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that such
action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure
property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that
it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Master Servicer may take such
actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
The
Master Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation
and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the
terms
and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent
herewith;
(ii) any
such
contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the
Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above
and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Master
Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days
following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none
of
the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating to any such contract or to
actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve
the Master Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management
of
any such REO Property; and
(iv) the
Master Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent
as if
it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the
operation and management of such REO Property.
The
Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any
Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such
Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit
or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable
for
all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of whether
the Master Servicer’s compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is sufficient to pay
such fees.
(d) In
addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section 3.23(c), the Master Servicer
may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO Account for any REO
Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid Servicing Fees of
Administration Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to
reimburse itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and
P&I Advances made in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage
Loan. Any income from the related REO Property received during any calendar
months prior to a Final Recovery Determination, net of any withdrawals made
pursuant to Section 3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d), shall be withdrawn by
the
Master Servicer from each REO Account maintained by it and remitted to the
Paying Agent for deposit into the Distribution Account in accordance with
Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date relating to a Final
Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan, for distribution
on
the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01.
(e) Subject
to the time constraints set forth in Section 3.23(a), and further subject to
obtaining the approval of the insurer under any related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy (if and to the extent that such approvals are necessary to
make
claims under such policies in respect of the affected REO Property), each REO
Disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price and upon
such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer shall deem necessary or
advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing activities
for
similar properties.
(f) The
proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount required by law to be
remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan and net of any payment
or reimbursement to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as provided above,
shall be remitted to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Distribution Account
in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date
in
the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall
be
for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the
Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).
(g) The
Master Servicer shall file information returns with respect to the receipt
of
mortgage interest received in a trade or business, reports of foreclosures
and
abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and cancellation of indebtedness income
with respect to any Mortgaged Property as required by Sections 6050H, 6050J
and
6050P of the Code, respectively. Such reports shall be in form and substance
sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H,
6050J and 6050P of the Code.
SECTION
3.24 Obligations
of the Master Servicer in Respect of Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls.
With
respect to each Collateral Pool, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Paying
Agent for deposit into the Distribution Account on or before 12:00 p.m. New
York
time on the Master Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds (or from a
Sub-Servicer’s own funds received by the Master Servicer in respect of
Compensating Interest) an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of
the
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting
from
full or partial Principal Prepayments during the related Prepayment Period
and
(ii) the applicable Compensating Interest Payment for that Collateral
Pool.
SECTION
3.25 Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of Monthly
Payments.
In
the

|
(3) All
distributions to the Holders of the Group II Class A Certificates pursuant

of
the Class II-A1 Certificates, until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has been reduced to zero, and then to the Holders of the Class II-A2

(4) On
each

Prepayment Period will be withdrawn from the Distribution Account and
distributed by the Paying Agent to the Holders of the Class I-P Certificates
and
shall not be available for distribution to the Holders of any other Class of
Certificates. The payment of the foregoing amounts to the Holders of the Class
I-P Certificates shall not reduce the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof.
(5) Immediately
prior to the distributions to the Holders of the Certificates on each
Distribution Date, any adjustments to the Certificate Principal Balances or
Component Principal Balance of the Certificates or Components, as applicable,
as
required by this paragraph shall be made. For each Collateral Pool, an amount
equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of related Subsequent Recoveries included
in the available funds for such Distribution Date and (y) the aggregate amount
of related Realized Losses, other than Excess Bankruptcy Losses, Excess Fraud
Losses, Excess Special Hazard Losses and Extraordinary Losses, previously
allocated to the Class of Certificates or Components, as the case may be, and
that remain “outstanding” as set forth below shall be applied as follows: first,
to increase the Certificate Principal Balances or Component Principal Balance
of
the related Class of Certificates or Components, as the case may be, with the
highest payment priority to which such Realized Losses were previously
allocated, to the extent of any such Realized Losses previously allocated to
such Class of Certificates or Components, as the case may be, and remaining
“outstanding”; second, to increase the Certificate Principal Balances or
Component Principal Balance of the related Class of Certificates or Components,
as the case may be, with the next highest payment priority to which such
Realized Losses were previously allocated, to the extent of any such Realized
Losses previously allocated to such Class of Certificates or Components, as
the
case may be, and remaining “outstanding”; and so forth. For purposes of the
foregoing, with respect to any Class of Certificates or Components, as the
case
may be, the amount of previously allocated Realized Losses that have been offset
by an increase in Certificate Principal Balances or Component Principal Balance
as provided above shall be deemed no longer “outstanding” but not by more than
the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates
or Components, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 4.04. Holders of any
Class of Certificates or Components, as the case may be, with respect to which
there shall have been a Certificate Principal Balances or Component Principal
Balance increase pursuant to this paragraph will not be entitled to any
distribution in respect of interest on the amount of such increase for any
Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase
occurs. Any such increases shall be applied to the Certificate Principal
Balances or Component Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates or
Components, as the case may be, in accordance with its respective Percentage
Interest.
All
references above to the Certificate Principal Balances or Component Principal
Balance of any Class of Certificates or Components, as the case may be, shall
be
to the Certificate Principal Balances or Component Principal Balance of such
Class of Certificates or Components, as the case may be, prior to the allocation
of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses and Realized Losses, in each case allocated
to such Class of Certificates or Components, as the case may be, on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.04.
(b) (i) On
each
Distribution Date, the aggregate distributions of principal made on such date
in
respect of the Group I Subordinate Certificates pursuant to Section
4.01(a)(1)(iv) above and the aggregate distributions of principal made on such

4.01(a)(2)(iv) above, respectively, shall be applied among the various Classes
thereof, in the order of priority within each Collateral Pool from the Class
of
related Subordinate Certificates with the lowest numerical designation to the
Class of related Subordinate Certificates with the highest numerical
designation, in each case to the extent of remaining available funds up to
the
amount allocable to such Class for such Distribution Date and in each case
until
the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class is reduced to
zero, in an amount with respect to each such Class equal to the sum of (X)
the
related Class B Percentage of the amounts described in clauses (i) through
(v)
of clause (a) of the definition of Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount,
(Y) the portion of the amounts described in clauses (b), (c) and (e) of the
definition of Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount allocable to such Class
pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ii) below and (Z) the excess, if any, of the amount
required to be distributed to such Class pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)(i)
for
the immediately preceding Distribution Date, over the aggregate distributions
of
principal made in respect of such Class of Certificates on such immediately
preceding Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 to the extent that any
such
excess is not attributable to Realized Losses which were allocated to related
Subordinate Certificates with a lower priority pursuant to Section
4.04.
(ii) On
any
Distribution Date, the portion of (a) all net Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance
Proceeds with respect to any Group I Mortgage Loans that were the subject of
a
Final Recovery Determination in the related Prepayment Period and (b) all

the
related Prepayment Period, allocable to principal and not included in the

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the application of the foregoing on any Distribution Date
as
provided in Section 4.01 would result in a distribution in respect of principal
to any Class or Classes of Subordinate Certificates in an amount greater than
the remaining Certificate Principal Balance thereof (any such Class, a “Maturing
Class”) then: (a) the amount to be allocated to each Maturing Class shall be
reduced to a level that, when applied as described above, would exactly reduce
the Certificate Principal Balance of such Class to zero and (b) the total amount

shall be allocated among the remaining related Eligible Classes on a
pro

or
Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based on the
aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective Certificates,
and
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account

Balance of such Class of Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first
class mail to the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but
only
upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice
to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.
Each
distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the

crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository
Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository
Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the
Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which

after the latest related Determination Date, mail on such date to each Holder
of
such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the
Paying Agent expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class
of
Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar
therein specified, and
(ii) no
interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the related
Interest Accrual Period.
(iii) Any
funds
not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such
Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender
their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by the
Paying Agent and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder
or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant
to
this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within
six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Paying Agent shall mail
a
second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender
their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution
with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent

Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent
shall pay to the Citigroup Global Markets Inc. all such amounts, and all rights
of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease.
No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount
held in trust by the Paying Agent as a result of such Certificateholder’s
failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance
with this Section 4.01(e).

SECTION
4.03 Remittance
Reports; P&I Advances.
(a) On
the
second Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Trustee
by
telecopy (or by such other means as the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent and
the Trust Administrator and the Trustee may agree from time to time) a
Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. Such Remittance
Report will include (i) the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master
Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, the aggregate amount
of
P&I Advances outstanding after giving effect to such P&I Advances, and
the aggregate amount of Nonrecoverable P&I Advances in respect of such
Distribution Date and (ii) such other information with respect to the Mortgage
Loans as the Trust Administrator or the Paying Agent may reasonably require
to
perform the calculations necessary for the Paying Agent to make the
distributions contemplated by Section 4.01 and for the Trust Administrator
to
prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.02;
provided, however, that if the Master Servicer is not the Trust Administrator,
the Master Servicer will forward to the successor Trust Administrator the
information set forth in clause (i) above on the next Business Day following
the
latest related Determination Date and the information set forth in clause (ii)
above on the fifth Business Day following the last day of the related calendar
month. Neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor the Trust Administrator shall
be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided
to
it by the Master Servicer.
(b) The
amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer for any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the sum of (i) the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net
of
the related Servicing Fee and the related Administration Fee), due on the
related Due Date in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were
delinquent as of the close of business on the related Determination Date and
(ii) with respect to each REO Property, which REO Property was acquired during
or prior to the related Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property
an
REO Disposition did not occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount
equal to the Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the
related Servicing Fee and the related Administration Fee) that would have been
due on the related Due Date in respect of the related Mortgage
Loans.
On
or
before 12:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the
Master Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds to the Paying Agent
for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount
of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its own funds
or,
if received from a Sub-Servicer, from funds remitted by a Sub-Servicer in
payment of required P&I Advances or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the
extent of funds held therein for future distribution (in which case, it will
cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of Collection Account
that
amounts held for future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section
4.03, used by the Master Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or
(iii) in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total
amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution
and
so used shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and
replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or
before any future Master Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the
Available Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (determined
without regard to P&I Advances to be made on the Master Servicer Remittance
Date) shall be less than the total amount that would be distributed to the
Classes of Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution
Date
if such amounts held for future distributions had not been so used to make
P&I Advances. The Trust Administrator will provide notice to the Master
Servicer by telecopy by the close of business on the Master Servicer Remittance
Date in the event that the amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the Trust
Administrator on such Master Servicer Remittance Date is less than the P&I
Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer for the related Distribution
Date.
(c) The
obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to (d) below,
and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property, shall continue until
a
Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or the removal thereof
from
REMIC I pursuant to any applicable provision of this Agreement, except as
otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made
hereunder by the Master Servicer if such P&I Advance would, if made,
constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. The determination by the Master
Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed
P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance,
shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered
to the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Trustee.
(e) If
the
Master Servicer shall fail to make any P&I Advance on any Master Servicer
Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to this Section
4.03, then the Paying Agent, by not later than 1:00 p.m. on the related
Distribution Date, shall make such P&I advance from its own funds by
depositing the amount of such advance into the Distribution Account, and the
Trust Administrator and the Paying Agent shall include the amount so advanced
by
the Paying Agent in the Available Distribution Amount distributed on such
Distribution Date.
SECTION
4.04 Allocation
of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses and Realized Losses.
(a) Prior
to
each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine as to each Mortgage
Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of Realized Losses, if any, incurred
in connection with any Final Recovery Determinations made during the related
Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the extent to which such Realized Losses
constituted Fraud Losses or Special Hazard Losses; and (iii) the respective
portions of such Realized Losses allocable to interest and allocable to
principal. Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall also
determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (A) the total amount of Realized Losses,
if
any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations made during the
related Prepayment Period; and (B) the total amount of Realized Losses, if
any,
incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in respect of Monthly
Payments due during the related Due Period. The information described in the
two
preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Master Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trust Administrator, the
Paying Agent and the Trustee by the Master Servicer prior to the Determination
Date immediately following the end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses
allocable to interest, the Due Period during which any such Realized Loss was
incurred, and (y) in the case of all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment
Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred.
(b) All
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans related to each Collateral Pool (other
than Excess Losses) shall be allocated by the Paying Agent on each Distribution
Date in reverse sequential order to the related Subordinate Certificates, in
each case until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to
zero.
Thereafter,
(i) with respect to Collateral Pool I, upon the reduction of the Certificate
Principal Balances of the related Subordinate Certificates to zero, all Realized
Losses on the Mortgage Loans related to such Collateral Pool (other than Excess
Losses) shall be allocated to the Class I-A1 Certificates and the Class I-AB
Certificates as described below (if such Realized Loss is on a Group I-1
Mortgage Loan) or to the Class I-A2 Certificates and the Class I-AB Certificates
as described below (if such Realized Loss is on a Group I-2 Mortgage Loan)
and
(ii) with respect to Collateral Pool II, upon the reduction of the Certificate
Principal Balances of the related Subordinate Certificates to zero, all Realized
Losses on the Mortgage Loans related to such Collateral Pool (other than Excess
Losses) shall be allocated to the Group II Class A Certificates on a
pro
rata
basis.
Excess
Losses on the Group I Mortgage Loans will be allocated on any Distribution
Date
by allocating (i) the related Senior Percentage of the Excess Loss to the Class
I-A1 Certificates and
the
Class I-AB Certificates as
described below (if such Excess Loss is on a Group I-1 Mortgage Loan) or to
the
Class I-A2 Certificates and the Class I-AB Certificates as described below
(if
such Excess Loss is on a Group I-2 Mortgage Loan) and (ii) the related Group
I
Subordinate Percentage of the Excess Loss to the Group I Subordinate
Certificates on a pro
rata
basis.
Excess
Losses on the Mortgage Loans in Collateral Pool II will be allocated on any
Distribution Date by allocating (i) the related Senior Percentage of the Excess
Loss to the Group II Class A Certificates on a pro
rata
basis
and (ii) the Group II Subordinate Percentage of the Excess Loss to the Group
II
Subordinate Certificates on a pro
rata
basis.
Any
Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses relating to Collateral Pool I will be
allocated on any Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Class I-B6
Certificates; second, to the Class I-B5 Certificates; third, to the Class I-B4
Certificates; fourth, to the Class I-B3 Certificates; fifth, to the Class I-B2
Certificates; and sixth, to the Class I-B1 Certificates, in each case until
the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero.
Thereafter, any Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses relating to Collateral Pool
I
will be allocated on any Distribution Date among the Group I Class A
Certificates on a pro
rata
basis.
Any Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses relating to Collateral Pool II will be
allocated on any Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Class II-B6
Certificates; second, to the Class II-B5 Certificates; third, to the Class
II-B4
Certificates; fourth, to the Class II-B3 Certificates; fifth, to the Class
II-B2
Certificates; and sixth, to the Class II-B1 Certificates, in each case until
the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class has been reduced to zero.
Thereafter, the Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses relating to Collateral Pool
II
will be allocated on any Distribution Date among the Group II Class A
Certificates on a pro
rata
basis.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any
Realized Loss (including any Excess Loss) that is allocated to the Class I-A1
Certificates and Class I-AB Certificates will be allocated between such classes
on a pro
rata
basis
(based on the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class
I-A1 Certificates and the
Component Principal Balance of the I-A1
Component); provided that any Realized Losses (other
than any Excess Losses) so
allocated to the Class I-A1 Certificates and Class I-AB Certificates will be
allocated first to the Class I-AB Certificates to
the
extent of the Component Principal Balance of the I-A1 Component
until
the Component
Principal Balance of the I-A1 Component
has been
reduced to zero and then to the Class I-A1 Certificates. Any Realized Loss
(including any Excess Loss) or any Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense that is
allocated to the Class I-A2 Certificates and Class I-AB Certificates will be
allocated between such classes on a pro
rata
basis
(based on the Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class
I-A2 Certificates and the
Component Principal Balance of the I-A2
Component); provided that any Realized Losses other than any Excess Losses)
so
allocated to the Class I-A2 Certificates and Class I-AB Certificates will be
allocated first to the Class I-AB Certificates to
the
extent of the Component Principal Balance of the I-A2 Component
until
the Component
Principal Balance of the I-A2 Component
has been
reduced to zero and then to the Class I-A2 Certificates.
Notwithstanding
the method of allocation of Realized Losses and Extraordinary Fund Expenses
above, if any overcollateralization exists when Realized Losses or Extraordinary
Trust Fund Expenses are to be allocated, such Realized Losses or Extraordinary
Trust Fund Expenses will be allocated first to the overcollateralization, until
the overcollateralization is reduced to zero, prior to allocating such Realized
Losses or Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses to the Certificates in accordance
with the priorities set forth above.
As
used
herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss or Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense
on
a “pro
rata
basis”
among two or more specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on
a
pro
rata
basis,
among the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates
on
the basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to
giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All
Realized Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates
hereunder will be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion
to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby. Any allocation of a Realized
Loss
of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense to a Certificate shall be made by reducing
the Certificate Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated as of
the
Distribution Date following the Prepayment Period in which such Realized Loss
was incurred.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Certificate Principal
Balance of a Class A Certificate be reduced more than once in respect of any
particular amount both (i) allocable to such Certificate in respect of Realized
Losses or Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (ii)
payable to the Holder of such Certificate pursuant to Section 4.01(a) as a
portion of the Senior Principal Distribution Amount.
SECTION
4.05 Compliance
with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall comply with all
federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders
of
interest or original issue discount that the Paying Agent reasonably believes
are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not
be
required for such withholding. In the event the Paying Agent does withhold
any
amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof
to
any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Paying
Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders.
SECTION
4.06 Commission
Reporting.
(a) (i)
Within 15 calendar days after each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator
shall, in accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via
the
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”), a distribution report
on Form 10-D, signed by the Master Servicer, with a copy of the monthly
statement to be furnished by the Trust Administrator to the Certificateholders
for such Distribution Date. Any disclosure in addition to the monthly statement
required to be included on the Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D Disclosure”)
shall be determined and prepared by the entity that is indicated in Exhibit
B as
the responsible party for providing that information, and shall be reported
by
such entity to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator and approved by the
Depositor. The
Trust
Administrator shall have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to
determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure absent such reporting
(other than in the case where the Trust Administrator is the reporting party
as
set forth in Exhibit B) and approval,
and the
Trust Administrator will have no duty or liability to verify the accuracy or
sufficiency of any such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (except in any case
where the Trust Administrator is the responsible party for providing that
information pursuant to Exhibit B).
Within
5
calendar days after the related Distribution Date (or if not a Business Day,
the
immediately preceding Business Day), each entity that is indicated in Exhibit
B
as the responsible party for providing Additional Form 10-D Disclosure shall
be
required to provide to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent
known, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed
upon by the Trust Administrator and the Depositor and such party, and clearly
identifying which item of Form 10-D the information relates to, any Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable. The Trust Administrator shall compile
the
information provided to it, prepare the Form 10-D and forward the Form 10-D
to
the Depositor. The Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or
disapprove, as the case may be, the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure.
After
preparing the Form 10-D, the Trust Administrator shall forward electronically
a
copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor (in every case where the Form 10-D
includes Additional 10-D Disclosure and otherwise if requested by the Depositor)
and the Master Servicer for review. Within two Business Days after receipt
of
such copy, but no later than the 12th calendar day after the Distribution Date
(provided that, the Trust Administrator shall have forwarded a copy of the
Form
10-D no later than the 10th calendar after the Distribution Date), the Depositor
shall notify the Trust Administrator in writing (which may be furnished
electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D. In the absence
of receipt of any written changes or approval, the Trust Administrator shall
be
entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is in final form and the Trust
Administrator may proceed with arrangements for the execution of, and filing
of,
the Form 10-D. No later than 2 Business Days prior to the 15th calendar day
after the related Distribution Date, a duly authorized officer of the Master
Servicer shall sign the Form 10-D and return an electronic or fax copy of such
signed Form 10-D (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight
mail) to the Trust Administrator. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or
if a
previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Trust Administrator shall
follow the procedures set forth in Section 4.06(a)(vi). Once the Form 10-D
has
been filed with the Commission it will be available through XXXXX at
xxx.xxx.xxx.
The
Trust Administrator will provide copies of the report to investors, free of
charge, upon request. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
performance by the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator of their
respective duties under Sections 4.06(a)(i) and (vi) related to the timely
preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties
strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties
under such Sections. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trust Administrator
shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of
or
with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file
such
Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Master Servicer’s or the Trust
Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution
or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct.
(ii)
Within 4 Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure
on
Form 8-K (each such event, a “Reportable Event”), the Trust Administrator shall
prepare and file, at the direction of the Depositor, on behalf of the Trust,
any
Form 8-K, as required by the Exchange Act; provided that, the Depositor shall
file the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the Certificates.
Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable Event or that is otherwise
required to be included on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K Disclosure Information”) shall
be, pursuant to the paragraph immediately below, reported by the responsible
parties set forth on Exhibit B to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor
and
approved by the Depositor, and the Trust Administrator will have no duty or
liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Form 8-K absent
such reporting (other than in the case where the Trust Administrator is the
reporting party as set forth in Exhibit B) and approval.
For
so
long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no
later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the 2nd Business Day after the
occurrence of a Reportable Event (i) the responsible parties set forth in
Exhibit B shall be required pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(v) below to provide
to
the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible
officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise
agreed upon by the Trust Administrator and the Depositor and such party, the
form and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable, and
(ii) the Depositor shall approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove,
as
the case may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form
8-K.
After
preparing the Form 8-K, the Trust Administrator shall forward electronically
a
copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor and the Master Servicer for review. No
later than the close of business New York City time on the 3rd Business Day
after the Reportable Event, an officer of the Master Servicer shall sign the
Form 8-K and, return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 8-K (with
an
original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trust
Administrator. Promptly, but no later than the close of business on the 3rd
Business Day after the Reportable Event (provided that, the Trust Administrator
shall have forwarded a copy of the Form 8-K no later than the 2nd Business
Day
after the Reportable Event), the Depositor shall notify the Trust Administrator
in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval
of such Form 8-K. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval,
the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 8-K is in
final form and the Trust Administrator may proceed with arrangements for the
execution of, and filing of, the Form 8-K. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on
time
or if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Trust Administrator
shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 4.06(a)(vi). Once the Form
8-K
has been filed with the Commission it will be available through XXXXX at
xxx.xxx.xxx.
The
Trust Administrator will provide copies of the report to investors, free of
charge, upon request. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
performance by Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator of their respective
duties under this Section 4.06(a)(ii) related to the timely preparation,
execution and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon such parties strictly
observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under
this
Section 4.06(a)(ii). Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trust Administrator
shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of
or
with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute and/or timely file
such
Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Master Servicer’s or the Trust
Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution
or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct.
(iii)
Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust or such earlier
date as may be required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K Filing Deadline”) (it
being understood that the fiscal year for the Trust ends on December 31st of
each year), commencing in March 2007, the Trust Administrator shall prepare
and
file on behalf of the Trust a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required
by
the Exchange Act. Each such Form 10-K shall include the following items, in
each
case to the extent they have been delivered to the Trust Administrator within
the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement, (I) an Annual Statement
of Compliance for the Master Servicer and any Sub-servicer, as provided under
Section 3.20, (II)(A) the Assessments of Compliance for the Master Servicer,

subcontractor’s participating in the servicing function, the Trust
Administrator’s, the Paying Agent’s or the Custodian’s Assessments of Compliance
identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such
instance of noncompliance, or if the Master Servicer’s, any Sub-servicer’s or
subcontractor’s participating in the servicing function, the Trust
Administrator’s, the Paying Agent’s or the Custodian’s Assessments of Compliance
is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report

material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of
noncompliance, or if any such Attestation Report is not included as an exhibit
to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an
explanation why such report is not included, and (IV) a Master Servicer
Certification in the form prescribed by Exhibit H (provided, however, that
the
Trust Administrator, at its discretion, may omit from the Form 10-K any annual
compliance statement, assessment of compliance or attestation report that is
not
required to be filed with such Form 10-K pursuant to Regulation AB). Any
disclosure or information in addition to (I) through (IV) above that is required
to be included on Form 10-K (“Additional Form 10-K Disclosure”) shall be,
pursuant to the paragraph immediately below, reported by the responsible parties
set forth on Exhibit B to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor and approved
by the Depositor, and the Trust Administrator will have no duty or liability
for
any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure absent such reporting (other than in the case where the Trust
Administrator is the reporting party as set forth in Exhibit B) and
approval.
No
later
than March 15th of each year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act
reporting requirements, commencing in 2007, (A) the responsible parties set
forth in Exhibit B shall be required to provide pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(v)
below to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by
a
responsible officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form
as otherwise agreed upon by the Trust Administrator and the Depositor and such
party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if
applicable, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance,
or
disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure on Form 10-K.
After
preparing the Form 10-K, the Trust Administrator shall forward electronically
a
copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor and the Master Servicer for review.
Within 3 Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no later than March
25th
(provided that, the Trust Administrator forwards a copy of the Form 10-K no
later than the 3rd Business Day prior to March 25th), the Depositor shall notify
the Trust Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically)
of
any changes to or approval of such Form 10-K. In the absence of receipt of
any
written changes or approval, the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to assume
that such Form 10-K is in final form and the Trust Administrator may proceed
with the execution and filing of the Form 10-K. No later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern
Standard time on the 4th Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline, an
officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall
sign the Form 10-K and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form
10-K
(with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trust
Administrator. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed
Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Trust Administrator will follow the
procedures set forth in Section 4.06(a)(vi). Once the Form 10-K has been filed
with the Commission it will be available through XXXXX at xxx.xxx.xxx.
The
Trust Administrator will provide copies of the report to investors, free of
charge, upon request. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
performance by the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator of their
respective duties under Sections 4.06(a)(iv) and (vi) related to the timely
preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties
strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties
under such Sections and under Section 3.20 and Section 3.21. Neither the Master
Servicer nor the Trust Administrator shall have any liability for any loss,
expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly
prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results
from the Master Servicer’s or the Trust Administrator’s inability or failure to
receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed
to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from
its
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
The
Master Servicer shall deliver the Master Servicer Certification, executed by
an
officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function,
to
the Trust Administrator not later than March 15th of each year in which the
Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act. In
connection with the filing of any 10-K hereunder, in the case where the Master
Servicer and Trust Administrator are not affiliated, the Trust Administrator
shall sign a Back-Up Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit I;
provided, however, that the Trust Administrator shall not be required to
undertake an analysis of any accountant’s report attached as an exhibit to the
Form 10-K.
(iv)
With
respect to any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure
or any Form 8-K Disclosure Information (collectively, the “Additional
Disclosure”) relating to the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator’s obligation to
include such Additional Disclosure in the applicable Exchange Act report is
subject to receipt from the entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the
responsible party for providing that information, if other than the Trust
Administrator, as and when required as described in Section 4.06(a)(i) through
(iv) above. Each of the Master Servicer, Sponsor, Trust Administrator and
Depositor hereby agrees to notify and provide to the extent known to the Master
Servicer, the Sponsor, the Trust Administrator and the Depositor all Additional
Disclosure relating to the Trust Fund, with respect to which such party is
indicated in Exhibit B as the responsible party for providing that information.
So
long
as the Depositor is subject to the filing requirements of the Exchange Act
with
respect to the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall notify the Trust Administrator
and
the Depositor of any bankruptcy or receivership with respect to the Trustee
or
of any proceedings of the type described under Item 1117 of Regulation AB that
have occurred as of the related Due Period, together with a description thereof,
no later than the date on which such information is required of other parties
hereto as set forth under this Section 4.06. In addition, the Trustee shall
notify the Trust Administrator and the Depositor of any affiliations or
relationships that develop after the Closing Date between the Trustee and the
Depositor, the Sponsor, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the
Servicer or the Custodian of the type described under Item 1119 of Regulation
AB, together with a description thereof, no later than the date on which such
information is required of other parties hereto as set forth under this Section
4.06.
The
Master Servicer shall be responsible for determining the pool concentration
applicable to any Sub-Servicer to which any of the Master Servicer’s
responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans have been delegated at
any
time, for purposes of disclosure as required by Items 1117 and 1119 of
Regulation AB. The Trust Administrator will provide electronic or paper copies
of all Form 10-D, 8-K and 10-K filings free of charge to any Certificateholder
upon written request. Any expenses incurred by the Trust Administrator in
connection with the previous sentence shall be reimbursable to the Trust
Administrator out of the Trust Fund.
(v)
On or
prior to January 30th of the first year in which the Trust Administrator is
able
to do so under applicable law, the Trust Administrator shall prepare and file
a
Form 15 relating to the automatic suspension of reporting in respect of the
Trust under the Exchange Act.
In
the
event that the Trust Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission
all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed
by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not
delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in
this Agreement or for any other reason, the Trust Administrator shall promptly
notify the Depositor and the Master Servicer. In the case of Form 10-D and
10-K,
the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator shall cooperate
to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-DA and 10-KA as applicable, pursuant
to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Trust
Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information
and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure
information on the next Form 10-D. In the event that any previously filed Form
8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended, and such amendment relates to any
Additional Disclosure, the Trust Administrator shall notify the Depositor and
the parties affected thereby and such parties will cooperate to prepare any
necessary Form 8-KA, 10-DA or 10-KA. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment
to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K shall be signed by a duly authorized officer of the
Master Servicer. The parties hereto acknowledge that the performance by the
Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator of their respective duties under
this Section 4.06(a)(v) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing
of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is
contingent upon the Master Servicer and the Depositor timely performing their
duties under this Section. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trust
Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute
and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form
8-K,
10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Master Servicer’s or the Trust
Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution
or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K,
not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
The
Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trust Administrator, from time
to
time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements
within its control related to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans as the Trust
Administrator reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary
reports with the Commission. The Trust Administrator shall have no
responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section
4.06; provided, however, the Trust Administrator shall cooperate with the
Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust
Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act. Fees and expenses
incurred by the Trust Administrator in connection with this Section 4.06 shall
not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.
(b) Without
limiting any other indemnification provided pursuant to any other Section of
this Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless,
the
Depositor and the Master Servicer and each of their respective officers,
directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Trust
Administrator’s obligations under Sections 3.21 or 4.06 or the Trust
Administrator’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith. In addition, the Trust Administrator shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Depositor and each of its officers, directors and affiliates and
the Master Servicer from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses that (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any
Back-Up Certification, the Assessment of Compliance, any Additional Disclosure
or other information provided by the Trust Administrator pursuant to Section
3.21 or 4.06 (the “Trust Administrator Information”), or (ii) arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided,
by
way of clarification, that clause (ii) of this paragraph shall be construed
solely by reference to the Trust Administrator Information and not to any other
information communicated in connection with the Certificates, without regard
to
whether the Trust Administrator Information or any portion thereof is presented
together with or separately from such other information.
Without
limiting any other indemnification provided pursuant to any other Section of
this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor and each of its respective officers, directors
and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the
obligations of the Master Servicer under
Sections 3.20, 3.21 and 4.06 or
the
Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith In addition, the Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless
the
Depositor and each of its officers, directors and affiliates from and against
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising
out
of or based upon (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Master Servicer
Certification, the Annual Statement of Compliance, the Assessment of Compliance,
any Additional Disclosure or other information provided by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.20, 3.21 or 4.06 (the
“Master Servicer Information”), or (ii) arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, by way of
clarification, that clause (ii) of this paragraph shall be construed solely
by
reference to the Master Servicer Information and not to any other information
communicated in connection with the Certificates, without regard to whether
the
Master Servicer Information or any portion thereof is presented together with
or
separately from such other information.
In
addition, without limiting any other indemnification provided pursuant to any
other Section of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and
against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and
expenses arising out of third party claims based upon a breach of the Paying
Agent’s obligations under Section 4.06. If the indemnification provided for
under this paragraph is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the
Depositor, then the Paying Agent agrees that it shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages
or
liabilities of the Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the
relative fault of the Depositor on the one hand and the Paying Agent on the
other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Paying Agent be
liable under this paragraph for any consequential, indirect or punitive
damages.

ARTICLE
V
THE
CERTIFICATES
SECTION
5.01 The
Certificates.
(a) The
Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in the Trust Fund.
At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Certificates will equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans.
The
Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits
A-1
through A-20. The Certificates of each Class will be issuable in registered
form
only, in denominations of authorized Percentage Interests as described in the
definition thereof. Each Certificate will share ratably in all rights of the
related Class.
Upon
original issue, the Certificates shall be executed by the Paying Agent and
delivered by the Authenticating Agent to or upon the order of the Depositor.
The
Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature
on
behalf of the Paying Agent by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing
the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the Paying Agent shall bind the Paying Agent, notwithstanding that
such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
execution, authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold
such
offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled
to
any benefit under this Agreement or be valid for any purpose, unless there
appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in
the
form provided herein executed by the Authenticating Agent by manual signature,
and such certificate of authentication shall be conclusive evidence, and the
only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
authentication.
(b) The
Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates
held by Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to hold such Certificates as
provided below, the Depository and registered in the name of the Depository
or
its nominee and, except as provided below, registration of such Certificates
may
not be transferred by the Certificate Registrar except to another Depository
that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners
with
Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners shall hold their respective
Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry
facilities of the Depository and, except as provided below, shall not be
entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive
Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. All transfers by
Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the 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 the Ownership Interests in
the
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. The Paying Agent is hereby initially appointed as the Book-Entry
Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and in
accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it
to
act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is no longer qualified
to
act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator
and
any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor Depository)
to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor
Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository may
prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be
relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any such
appointment of other than the Depository. If the Paying Agent resigns or is
removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor Paying Agent or,
if
it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed to its predecessor’s
duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have the right to inspect,
and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as Book-Entry Certificates by
the
Book-Entry Custodian.
The
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent, the
Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Depositor may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates)
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of
exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository
as
Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter
shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners. The Paying Agent may establish a reasonable record date
in
connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders
and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If
(i)(A)
the Depositor advises the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the
Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or
able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the
Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after the occurrence
of a Master Servicer Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing in the
aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership Interests of the Book-Entry
Certificates advise the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the
Certificate Registrar through the Depository, 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 Certificate Registrar shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event
and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-
Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as applicable,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration
of
transfer, the Paying Agent shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Such
Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of $100,000,
except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a Book-Entry
Certificate in an amount less than $100,000 immediately prior to the issuance
of
a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination equal to
the
amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the Authenticating Agent, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay
in the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall
be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed
by
the Certificate Registrar and the Paying Agent, to the extent applicable with
respect to such Definitive Certificates, and the Certificate Registrar and
the
Paying Agent shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
SECTION
5.02 Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The
Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies
to be appointed by the Trust Administrator in accordance with the provisions
of
Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject
to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar
shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges
of
Certificates as herein provided.
(b) No
transfer of any Private Certificate or Ownership Interest therein shall be
made
unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is
made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification.
In
the event that such a transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification (other than in connection with the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor), the Certificate Registrar shall require, receipt of written
certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and
from such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee, substantially in the forms
attached hereto as Exhibit F-1, or in the case of any Definitive Certificate,
an
opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without
such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate
Registrar, the Authenticating Agent , the Paying Agent, the Master Servicer
in
its capacity as such or any Sub-Servicer), together with copies of the written
certification(s) of the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or
such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of
Counsel is based, if any. In the event of any such transfer of any Ownership
Interest in any Private Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate, except
with respect to the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor,
such transfer shall be required to be made in reliance upon Rule 144A under
the
1933 Act, and the transferor will be deemed to have made each of the
representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of
such interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate and the
transferee will be deemed to have made each of the representations and
warranties set forth on Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of such interest as if
it
was evidenced by a Definitive Certificate. None of the Depositor or the Trustee
is obligated to register or qualify any such Certificates under the 1933 Act
or
any other securities laws or to take any action not otherwise required under
this Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration
or qualification. Any Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of
any
such Certificate or Ownership Interest therein shall, and does hereby agree
to,
indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar,
the
Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Master Servicer and the Depositor
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is
not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(c) (i)
No
transfer of a Residual Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to
any
Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly
or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such
Certificates with “Plan Assets” of a Plan within the meaning of the DOL
Regulations (“Plan Assets”) as certified by such transferee in the form of
Exhibit G, unless the Certificate Registrar is provided with an Opinion of
Counsel on which the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent and the Master
Servicer may rely, to the effect that the purchase and holding of such
Certificates will be permissible under applicable law, ERISA and the Code,
will
not constitute or result in any non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA
or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the
Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Trust Fund to any
obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the
Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Trust Fund. In lieu
of
such Opinion of Counsel, any prospective Transferee of such Certificates may
provide a certification in the form of Exhibit G to this Agreement (or other
form acceptable to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent and the Master
Servicer), which the Certificate Registrar may rely upon without further inquiry
or investigation. Neither a certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be
required in connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by
the
Depositor to an Affiliate of the Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or
any
Affiliate thereof shall have deemed to have represented that such Affiliate
is
not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Certificate Registrar
shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the
request of the Certificate Registrar, shall be a written representation) from
the Depositor of the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.
(ii) Each
beneficial owner of a Subordinate or any interest therein shall be deemed to
have represented, by virtue of its acquisition and holding of such Certificate
or interest therein, that either (A) it is not a Plan or investing with Plan
Assets, (B) other than with respect to a Class I-B4 Certificate, Class I-B5
Certificate, Class I-B6 Certificate, Class II-B4 Certificate, Class II-B5
Certificate or Class II-B6 Certificate, it has acquired and is holding such
Certificate in reliance on the Underwriter’s Exemption granted by the Department
of Labor on April 18, 1991 as Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 91-23 at
56 F.R. 15936 and amended on July 21, 1997 as PTE 97-34 at 62 F.R. 39021 and
further amended on November 13, 2000 by PTE 2000-58 at 65 F.R. 67765 and on
August 22, 2002 by PTE 2001-41 at 67 F.R. 54487 (“Underwriter’s Exemption”), and
that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of
the
Underwriter’s Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the
time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by Fitch, Xxxxx’x or
S&P and, in the case of a Class II-B1 Certificate, Class II-B2 Certificate
or a Class II-B3 Certificate, it will represent that it is an “accredited
investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act
and will obtain a representation from any transferee that such transferee is
an
accredited investor so long as it is required to obtain a representation
regarding compliance with the Securities Act, or (C) (i) it is an insurance
company, (ii) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or
interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as defined in
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and (iii) the conditions
in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
(iii)
If
any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held in violation of
the
provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, the next preceding permitted
beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of that Certificate
retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial owner. Any
purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such Certificate
or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of the preceding
paragraph shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying
Agent, the Authenticating Agent and the Trust Fund from and against any and
all
liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result
of
that acquisition or holding.
(d) (i)
Each
Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest
to
have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably
authorized the Paying Agent or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to
deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms
of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments
of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such
sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Certificate
Registrar of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In
connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it and shall
not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of
an
affidavit and agreement (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”), in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F-2, from the proposed Transferee, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar, representing and
warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee,
that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate
that
is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for
any
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a
Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section
5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding
the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee
under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar
who is assigned to this transaction has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.
(D) Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other
Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless
it
provides a transferor affidavit (a “Transferor Affidavit”), in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F-2, to the Certificate Registrar stating that, among other
things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(E) Each
Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
by
purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the
Certificate Registrar written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder”
within the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67- 3T(a)(2)(i)(A)
immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate,
if
it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf
of, a “pass-through interest holder.”
(ii) The
Certificate Registrar will register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate
only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement and all
of
such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Certificate
Registrar as a condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of
a
Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar shall have
received a representation letter from the Transferee of such Certificate to
the
effect that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A)
If
any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding
Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to
all
rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such
Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall be under
no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for making
any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any
other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this
Agreement.
(B) If
any
purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d) and to the extent that
the
retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate
as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, then the Certificate Registrar shall have the right, without
notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell
such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Certificate Registrar
on such terms as the Certificate Registrar may choose. Such purported Transferee
shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance
with
the instructions of the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser may be the
Certificate Registrar itself or any Affiliate of the Certificate Registrar.
The
proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions
payable to the Certificate Registrar or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes
due,
if any, will be remitted by the Certificate Registrar to such purported
Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B)
shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Certificate Registrar, and
the
Certificate Registrar shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
(iv) The
Trust
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar shall make available to the Internal
Revenue Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is a
Disqualified Organization, including the information described in Treasury
regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the
“excess inclusions” of such Residual Certificate and (B) as a result of any
regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund,
partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the
Code
that holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among
its
record holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization.
Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be accepted by the
Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar.
(v) The
provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this subsection (v) may
be
modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered
to the Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar at the expense of
the
party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the
following:
(A) written
notification from the Rating Agencies to the effect that the modification,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause the Rating Agencies
to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates;
and
(B) an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar and the Trust Administrator, to the effect that such modification
of,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any Trust REMIC
to
cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not cause (x) any Trust REMIC to be subject
to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to
a
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or (y) a Person other than the
prospective transferee to be subject to a REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer
of a
Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(e) Subject
to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained
for
such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Certificate Registrar shall give
notice of such surrender to the Paying Agent and the Authenticating Agent.
Upon
receipt of such notice, the Paying Agent shall execute and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee
or Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like
aggregate Percentage Interest.
(f) At
the
option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may be exchanged for other
Certificates of the same Class with authorized denominations and a like
aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such Certificate to be
exchanged at any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, upon notice from the Certificate Registrar, the Paying
Agent shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer
or
exchange shall (if so required by the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed
by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(g) No
service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(h) All
Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be canceled and
destroyed by the Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary
procedures.

5.03 Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.

Certificate Registrar receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Certificate
Registrar, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator such security or indemnity
as
may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence
of
actual knowledge by the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Paying Agent shall execute, and the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate
of the same Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Certificate Registrar
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar)
connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the
applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not
the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION

the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent, the Paying Agent or any agent
of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION

DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION
6.01 Liability
of the Depositor and the Master Servicer.
The
Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in accordance herewith
only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement
and
undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master Servicer
herein.
SECTION
6.02 Merger
or
Consolidation of the Depositor or the Master Servicer.
Subject
to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph, the
Master Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises
as
a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and its
qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer for Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Master Servicer each will
obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation
in
each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to
protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates
or
any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this
Agreement.
The
Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated with or into
any
Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, in
which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the
Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding
to
the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, shall be the successor
of
the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without
the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided,
however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Master Servicer shall
be
qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac;
and
provided further that the Rating Agencies’ ratings of the Certificates rated
thereby and in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will
not
be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof (as evidenced by a letter
to such effect from the Rating Agencies).
SECTION
6.03 Limitation
on Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and Others.
None
of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any of the directors, officers, employees
or agents of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be under any liability
to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any such person against
any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made herein, or against
any specific liability imposed on the Master Servicer pursuant hereto, or
against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason
of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the
Master Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor
or
the Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which,
PRIMA FACIE, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any
matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability
or
expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement
or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense to any specific
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense
shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the
Master Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under
this Agreement and, in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or
liability; provided, however, that each of the Depositor and the Master Servicer
may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary
or
desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such
event, unless the Depositor or the Master Servicer acts without the consent
of
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which
consent shall not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action
by either to enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder),
the legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting
therefrom (except any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder
or
by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall
be
expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor (subject
to
the limitations set forth above) and the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to be
reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided
in
Section 3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of
the
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account.
SECTION
6.04 Limitation
on Resignation of the Master Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed
on it except (i) upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the written consent of the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld,
with written confirmation from the Rating Agencies (which confirmation shall
be
furnished to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator) that such
resignation will not cause the Rating Agencies to reduce the then current rating
of the Class A Certificates and provided that a qualified successor has agreed
to assume the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any
such
determination pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence permitting the
resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
to such effect obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer and delivered
to
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator. No resignation of the Master Servicer
shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have
assumed the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties, liabilities (other than
those liabilities arising prior to the appointment of such successor) and
obligations under this Agreement.
Except
as
expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not assign nor transfer
any
of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person, nor
delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint any other Person
to
perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by the
Master Servicer hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties
of
the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master servicer, the entire
amount of the Servicing Fee, the Administration Fee and other compensation
payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable
to
such successor master servicer.
SECTION
6.05 Rights
of
the Depositor in Respect of the Master Servicer.
The
Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide
that
each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access
to
all records maintained by the Master Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in
respect of the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder and access to
officers of the Master Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible
for such obligations. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish to the
Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator its (and any such
Sub-Servicer’s) most recent financial statements of the parent company of the
Master Servicer and such other information relating to the Master Servicer’s
capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement that it possesses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of each Initial Sub-Servicer, such
access and information described in the preceding two sentences shall be
required to be provided only to the extent provided in the Sub-Servicing
Agreement. To the extent such information is not otherwise available to the
public, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall not
disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding two sentences
without the Master Servicer’s written consent, except as required pursuant to
this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i) in working
with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies,
rating agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any law, rule, regulation,
order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the Depositor, the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall use its best efforts
to
assure the confidentiality of any such disseminated non-public information.
The
Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or
cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer
under this Agreement or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be relieved of any of
its
obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Depositor
or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability
for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer and is not obligated
to
supervise the performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or
otherwise.

Paying Agent ) by the Depositor, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee (in
which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the Master Servicer,
the
Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Trustee by the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or (B)
any deemed Master Servicer Event of Default caused by a failure by the Master
Servicer to timely comply with its obligations under Section 3.19 or Section
3.20 or Section 4.06, taking into account any cure period allowed by the Trustee
at the direction of the Depositor that may be provided under such sections;
or
(ii) any
failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any
material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master
Servicer contained in the Certificates or in this Agreement which continues
unremedied for a period of 30 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which

or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
in
the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or
state
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling
of
assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer
and if such proceeding is being contested by the Master Servicer in good faith
such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed
for a
period of 60 consecutive days or results in the entry of an order for relief
or
any such adjudication or appointment; or
(iv) the
Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver

failure of the Master Servicer to make, or of the Paying Agent to make on behalf
of the Master Servicer, any P&I Advance on any Master Servicer Remittance
Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section
4.03.
If
a
Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (v) of this
Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Depositor
or
the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the Trustee
or
to the Trustee if given by the Depositor), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as a Master Servicer under
this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the Mortgage
Loans
and the proceeds thereof. If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in
clause (vi) hereof shall occur and shall not have been remedied by 1:00 p.m.
on
the related Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of
the
same, and the Trustee shall be obligated to make such P&I Advance and, then
so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied
during the applicable time period set forth in clause (vi) above (including
the
reimbursement to the Trustee by the Master Servicer, with interest thereon

writing to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as a Master Servicer
under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof.
On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all
authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with
respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or
the
Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant
to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and
deliver on behalf of and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all
documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things
necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination,
whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage
Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees, at its
sole cost and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business
Days subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and
records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s functions
under this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the
termination of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities and rights under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business
Day
to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time
shall be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection
Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Distribution Account
or
any REO Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer
or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property
serviced by the Master Servicer (provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it
under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in
respect of P&I Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect
to events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section
7.01, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master Servicer
Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and
working in the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or
unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master Servicer
Event
of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the
Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.
SECTION
7.02 Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On
and
after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination, the Trustee
shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity
as
Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not have the
right to withdraw any funds from the Collection Account without the consent
of
the Trustee and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall
be
subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto
and
arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer (except for any representations
or warranties of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to
deposit amounts in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms
and
provisions hereof including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s
obligations to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; provided,
however, that if the Trustee is prohibited by law or regulation from obligating
itself to make advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee
shall not be obligated to make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and
provided further, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities
caused by the Master Servicer’s failure to provide information required by
Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee as successor
to
the Master Servicer hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall
be
entitled to the Servicing Fees and Administration Fees and all funds relating
to
the Mortgage Loans to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if
it
had continued to act hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would
become due to the Master Servicer prior to its termination or resignation).
Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so
act,
or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited by law from making
advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, or if the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the
Trustee, promptly appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution acceptable to the
Rating Agencies and having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000 as the
successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the assumption of
all
or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement. No appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by the
successor of all of the Master Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and
liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption
described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation
of
such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the Master Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee
and
such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Pending appointment of a
successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act
in
such capacity as hereinabove provided.
(b) In
connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder,
either (i) the successor servicer, including the Trustee, if the Trustee is
acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent and warrant that it is
a
member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material
respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing
of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case the
predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer
in causing MERS to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing
to
the successor Master Servicer as necessary under MERS’ rules and regulations, or
(ii) the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master
Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute
and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be
necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing
of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Master Servicer. The
predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment
in the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Master Servicer shall
bear
any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and
fees and costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under
this Section 7.02(b).
SECTION
7.03 Notification
to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon
any
termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 above or any
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02
above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register.
(b) Not
later
than the later of 60 days after the occurrence of any event, which constitutes
or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Master
Servicer Event of Default or five days after a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall
transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such occurrence,
unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Default shall have been cured
or
waived.
SECTION
7.04 Waiver
of
Master Servicer Events of Default.
Subject
to Section 11.09(d), the Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by any default or Master
Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Master Servicer
Event of Default; provided, however, that a default or Master Servicer Event
of
Default under clause (i) or (vi) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by all
of
the Holders of the Regular Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a default
or
Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer Event of
Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for
every
purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or Master Servicer Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.

take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected,

its
own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) With

Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar
or

(ii) None
of

knowledge thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge,
the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no default.
None
of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate
Registrar or the Authenticating Agent shall be required to expend or risk its
own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any
of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, in

of
the Trustee’s, the Trust Administrator’s the Paying Agent’s, the Certificate
Registrar’s or the Authenticating Agent’s, as the case may be, performance in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, if there is reasonable ground
for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. With respect to the
Trustee, 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.

it
against such cost, expense, or liability from such Certificateholders as a
condition to taking any such action;
(vi) Each

the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate
Registrar and the Authenticating Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through

be
paid from the assets of the Trust. Each of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent, a
Custodian and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them, as
applicable, shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against
any

misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder
or
by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder (or, in
the
case of a Custodian, under the applicable Custodial Agreement) or as a result
of
a breach of the Trustee’s, the Trust Administrator’s or the Paying Agent’s
obligations under Article X hereof (or, in the case of a Custodian, as a result
of a breach of such Custodian’s obligations under the related Custodial

this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating
Agent or such Custodian, as the case may be. Any payment hereunder made by
the
Master Servicer to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent,
the
Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent or such Custodian shall be
from
the Master Servicer’s own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund

SECTION

Requirements for Trustee and Trust Administrator.
Each
of
the Trustee and the Trust Administrator hereunder shall at all times be a
corporation or an association organized and doing business under the laws of
any
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 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. In case at any time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be, shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
SECTION
8.07 Resignation
and Removal of the Trustee and the Trust Administrator.
Either
of
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged
from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and the Certificateholders and, if the Trustee is resigning,
to the Trust Administrator, or, if the Trust Administrator is resigning, to
the
Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly
appoint a successor trustee or trust administrator (which may be the same Person
in the event the Trust Administrator resigns or is removed) by written
instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee or Trust Administrator and to the successor trustee or trust
administrator, as applicable. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered
to
the Certificateholders, the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable,
and
the Master Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or trust
administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within
30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee
or
Trust Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or trust administrator,
as applicable.
If
at any
time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor (or in the case of the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee), or if at any time the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt
or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its property or affairs for
the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor
(or
in the case of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee) may remove the Trustee
or
the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or
trust
administrator (which may be the same Person in the event the Trust Administrator
resigns or is removed) by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument
shall be delivered to the Trustee or Trust Administrator so removed and to
the
successor trustee or trust administrator. A copy of such instrument shall be
delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
as
applicable, and the Master Servicer by the Depositor.
The
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at
any
time remove the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and appoint a successor
trustee or trust administrator 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 to the Depositor,
one
complete set to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
so
removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such
instrument shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer
by the Depositor.
If
no
successor Trust Administrator shall have been appointed and shall have accepted
appointment within 60 days after the Trust Administrator ceases to be the Trust
Administrator pursuant to this Section 8.07, then the Trustee shall perform
the
duties of the Trust Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee shall
notify the Rating Agencies of any change of Trust Administrator.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and appointment
of a successor trustee or trust administrator, as the case may be, pursuant
to
any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or trust administrator as
provided in Section 8.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Trust
Administrator advises the Trustee that it is unable to continue to perform
its
obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the appointment
of
a successor, the Trustee shall be obligated to perform such obligations until
a
new trust administrator is appointed. Such performance shall be without
prejudice to any claim by a party hereto or beneficiary hereof resulting from
the Trust Administrator’s breach of its obligations hereunder. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees the Trust Administrator
would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder.
SECTION
8.08 Successor
Trustee or Trust Administrator.
Any
successor trustee or trust administrator appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, and to its predecessor trustee or trust
administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or trust administrator
shall become effective and such successor trustee or trust administrator,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with
all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
the like effect as if originally named as trustee or trust administrator herein.
The predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall deliver to the successor
trustee or trust administrator all Mortgage Files and related documents and
statements, as well as all moneys, held by it hereunder and the Depositor and
the predecessor trustee or trust administrator 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 or trust
administrator all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No
successor trustee or trust administrator shall accept appointment as provided
in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee or
trust administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06
and
the appointment of such successor trustee or trust administrator shall not
result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates by the Rating Agencies,
as
evidenced by a letter from the Rating Agencies.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or trust administrator as
provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession
of
such trustee or trust administrator hereunder to all Holders of Certificates
at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Depositor fails
to
mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee or trust administrator, the successor trustee or trust administrator
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.
SECTION
8.09 Merger
or
Consolidation of Trustee or Trust Administrator.
Any
corporation or association into which either the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated
or
any corporation or association resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case
may
be, shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the
business of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall be
the
successor of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
hereunder, provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under
the
provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION
8.10 Appointment
of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal
requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of REMIC I-A or REMIC II
or
property securing the same may at the time be located, the Master Servicer
and
the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver
all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act
as
co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or
separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC I-A or REMIC II, and to vest
in
such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I-A or REMIC
II,
or any part thereof, 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 case a Master Servicer Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make
such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required
to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06
hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of
co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08
hereof.
In
the
case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this
Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed
by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the
extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or
acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as Trustee hereunder or as
successor to 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 REMIC I-A or REMIC
II
or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the
Trustee.
Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee
or
co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article
VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trust
conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its
instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may
be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement
on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.

Authenticating Agent and the Trust Administrator without the consent of any
of
the Certificateholders, (i) to cure any ambiguity or defect, (ii) to correct,
modify or supplement any provisions herein (including to give effect to the
expectations of Certificateholders) or (iii) to make any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not
be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that such action
shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee and
the Trust Administrator, adversely affect in any material respect the interests
of any Certificateholder. No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect
in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder who shall have
consented thereto, and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the
effect of any such amendment on any such consenting
Certificateholder.
This
Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the
Authenticating Agent and the Trust Administrator with the consent of the Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose
of

Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received
on
Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on any Certificate without
the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates
in a
manner, other than as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders
of
Certificates of such Class evidencing at least 66% of the Voting Rights
allocated to such Class, or (iii) modify the consents required by the
immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) without the consent of the Holders
of
all Certificates then outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, for purposes of the giving or withholding of consents pursuant to
this Section 11.01, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or
the
Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to Voting Rights
with
respect to matters affecting such Certificates.
Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall not
consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will not result in
the
imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or
cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding.
Prior
to
executing any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Trust Administrator shall
be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel (provided by the Person requesting
such amendment) to the effect that such amendment is authorized or permitted
by
this Agreement.
Promptly
after the execution of any such amendment the Trust Administrator shall furnish
a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner
of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as
the Trust Administrator may prescribe.
The
cost
of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall
be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in no event shall
such
Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, each of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar,
the Authenticating Agent and Trust Administrator may, but shall not be obligated
to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that affects its rights,
duties and immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

the
extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation

other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject
to
the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office
or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Master Servicer at the
expense of the Certificateholders, but only upon direction of Certificateholders
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation
materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders.
For
the

for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number
of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original,
and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.

proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust Fund, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as expressly provided
for
herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of
the
Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein
set forth, or contained in the terms of any of the Certificates, be construed
so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to
any
third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No
Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this

continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and (ii) the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights shall have made
written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding
in
its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to
be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 15 days after its receipt
of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused
to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding. It is understood and intended,
and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any provision of
this
Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any
other
of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference
to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except
in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit

and Section References.

SECTION 11.09 |
Grant
of Security Interest.
|
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans
by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor
to secure a debt or other obligation of the Depositor. However, in the event
that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage
Loans are held to be property of the Depositor, then, (a) it is the express
intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage
Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation
of
the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial
Code
as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; (2) the conveyance
provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant by the
Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the Depositor’s right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable to
the
holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or invested
in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account, whether in the form
of
cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the obligations secured
by
such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the Depositor’s obligations
under this Agreement, including the obligation to provide to the
Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the Mortgage
Loans
and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such property,
and
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property,
shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Trustee
for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a security interest
in
the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in clause (2) of the
preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee the performance
by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of the preceding
sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend the
conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional
sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee.
SECTION 11.10 |
Intention
of the Parties and Interpretation.
|
Each
of
the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 3.20, 3.21
and
4.06 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the
provisions of Regulation AB promulgated by the Commission under the 1934 Act
(17
C.F.R. §§ 229.1100 - 229.1123), as such may be amended from time to time and
subject to clarification and interpretive advice as may be issued by the staff
of the Commission from time to time. Therefore, each of the parties agrees
that
(a) the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in such a
manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the parties’ obligations hereunder
will be supplemented and modified as necessary to be consistent with any such
amendments, interpretive advice or guidance, convention or consensus among
active participants in the asset-backed securities markets, opinion of counsel,
or otherwise in respect of the requirements of Regulation AB, (c) the parties
shall comply with requests made by the Depositor for delivery of additional
or
different information, to the extent that such information is available or
reasonably attainable, as the Depositor may determine in good faith is necessary
to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, and (d) no amendment of this
Agreement shall be required to effect any such changes in the parties’
obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving interpretations of the
provisions of Regulation AB; provided, however, that any such changes shall
require the consent of each of the parties hereto.
All
percentages of Voting Rights referred to herein shall be deemed, with respect
to
matters affecting the related Collateral Pool and the related Certificates,
to
mean percentages of the Voting Rights with respect to such related Certificates.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar and the
Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers
thereunto duly authorized, in each case as of the day and year first above
written.

to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral
Pool
relating to this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in

Agent or the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together
with copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate
desiring to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee

which such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trustee
is
obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the
face
hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action
not

Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to
effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the
Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar,
the
Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent 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.

of
this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which
such
Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th
day of
each month or, if such 25th
day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class I-B4
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will
be made
or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business
Days
prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the
office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for that purpose as provided
in
the Agreement.

Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof
(herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest
specified above in the Class of Certificates to which this Certificate
belongs.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee, and
the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and
the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any
of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with
any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, Citibank, N.A. or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
none of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following
the
earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in
the
Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement
at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all
the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement
to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral
Pool
relating to this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in
the
Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase
is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
in
such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool
as of
the Cut-off Date.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made to
a
“qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in a transaction that is exempt from
the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and that does not require
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws. In
the
event that a transfer of this Certificate is to be made, the Certificate
Registrar shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder
of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective
transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit
F-1.
None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify
the
Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or
any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration
or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating
Agent 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 this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in
accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating
Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be duly

recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee, and
the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any
of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with
any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, Citibank, N.A., or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
none of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following
the
earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in
the
Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement
at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all
the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement
to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral
Pool
relating to this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in
the
Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase
is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
in
such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool
as of
the Cut-off Date.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made to
a
“qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in a transaction that is exempt from
the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and that does not require
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws. In
the
event that a transfer of this Certificate is to be made, the Certificate
Registrar shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder
of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective
transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit
F-1.
None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify
the
Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or
any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration
or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating
Agent 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 this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in
accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating
Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

MORTGAGE
PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
evidencing
a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund (the “Trust Fund”) consisting
primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, adjustable-rate
and
fixed-rate, first lien mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans”) formed and sold
by
CITIGROUP
MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.
THIS
CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP
MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE, THE TRUST
ADMINSITRATOR, CITIBANK, N.A. OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER
THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY

This

the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate specified above in that
certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class I-R
Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage
Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined
herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the
Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder
of
this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which
such
Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th
day of
each month or, if such 25th
day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class I-R
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will
be made
or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business
Days
prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the
office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for that purpose as provided
in
the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof
(herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest
specified above in the Class of Certificates to which this Certificate
belongs.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee
and the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and
the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any
of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No
transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with
any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Certificate Registrar (i) an affidavit
to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified
Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a
Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that
(A) the
Class R Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in a REMIC,
(B)
it will include in its income a pro
rata share
of
the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess
inclusion,” as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects
to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including
those
relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of
this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall
be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall
not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited
to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to
have
consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any Trust Fund to
cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the
REMIC.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, Citibank, N.A. or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
none of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following
the
earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in
the
Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement
at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all
the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement
to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral
Pool
relating to this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in
the
Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase
is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
in
such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool
as of
the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating
Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be duly

the
Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The

the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.

to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral
Pool
relating to this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in
the
Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase
is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans

aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool
as of
the Cut-off Date.

transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made to
a
“qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in a transaction that is exempt from
the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and that does not require
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws. In
the
event that a transfer of this Certificate is to be made, the Certificate
Registrar shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder
of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective
transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit

the
Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or
any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration
or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating
Agent 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

not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class II-B6
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will
be made
or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business
Days
prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the
office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for that purpose as provided
in
the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof
(herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest
specified above in the Class of Certificates to which this certificate
belongs.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee, and
the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any
of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with
any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, Citibank, N.A., or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
none of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following
the
earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in
the
Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement
at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all
the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement
to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral
Pool
relating to this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in
the
Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase
is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
in
such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool
as of
the Cut-off Date.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made to
a
“qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in a transaction that is exempt from
the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and that does not require
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws. In
the
event that a transfer of this Certificate is to be made, the Certificate
Registrar shall require receipt of written certifications from the Holder
of the
Certificate desiring to effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective
transferee, substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit
F-1.
None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify
the
Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or
any
other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the
Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration
or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating
Agent 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 this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in
accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating
Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed.

THIS
CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP

ADMINSITRATOR, CITIBANK, N.A. OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER
THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY

certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class II-R
Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage
Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent not defined
herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the
Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder
of
this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which
such
Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th
day of
each month or, if such 25th
day is
not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution
Date”), commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate
and the amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class II-R
Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will
be made
or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business
Days
prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date or
otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the
office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for that purpose as provided
in
the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof
(herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest
specified above in the Class of Certificates to which this Certificate
belongs.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee
and the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and
the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
66%
of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate
shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any
of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No
transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the
Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan
or
any Person using “Plan Assets” to acquire this Certificate shall be made except
in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates
of the
same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge
will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates,
but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with
any
transfer or exchange of Certificates.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Certificate Registrar (i) an affidavit
to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified
Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a
Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that
(A) the
Class R Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in a REMIC,
(B)
it will include in its income a pro
rata share
of
the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess
inclusion,” as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects
to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including
those
relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of
this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall
be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall
not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited
to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to
have
consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any Trust Fund to
cease
to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the
REMIC.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, Citibank, N.A. or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
none of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The
obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall
terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the
Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following
the
earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property remaining in
the
Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement
at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all
the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement
to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral
Pool
relating to this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in
the
Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase
is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
in
such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 10% of the
aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool
as of
the Cut-off Date.
The
recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor,
and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating
Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be
duly executed.

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

Repurchase
Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation
and Warranty.
|
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in
Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser
and
shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and any assignee, transferee
or
designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of holders
of
the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates evidencing an interest in all or
a
portion of the Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified
endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination or lack
of
examination of any Mortgage File. With respect to the representations and
warranties contained herein that are made to the knowledge or the best
knowledge
of the Seller, or as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if it is discovered
that the substance of any such representation and warranty is inaccurate
and the
inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage
Loan, or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s assignee,
designee or transferee, then notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with
respect to the substance of such representation and warranty being inaccurate
at
the time the representation and warranty was made, such inaccuracy shall
be
deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty and the Seller
shall take such action described in the following paragraphs of this Section
6
in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Upon discovery by either the Seller or
the
Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties
made by the Seller that materially and adversely affects the value of the

the case of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage
Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice
to the
other.
Within
90
days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any
breach
of a representation or warranty made by the Seller that materially and
adversely
affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the interest
therein of the Purchaser, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly
to cure
such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured,
the
Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the
Purchase Price. The Seller may, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming
the
Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase
a
deficient Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and
substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans.
If the
Seller does not provide a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
it shall
repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s)
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall occur on a
date
designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in accordance
with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase
or
substitution required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent
with
Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
At
the
time of substitution or repurchase by the Seller of any deficient Mortgage
Loan,
the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the
repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery
to the
Seller of any documents held by the Trustee relating to the deficient or
repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event the Purchase Price is deposited
in the
Collection Account. The Seller shall, simultaneously with such deposit,
give
written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon
such
repurchase, the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the
withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering
to the Purchaser or its designee for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or
Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and such other documents
and agreements as are required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
with the
Mortgage Note endorsed as required therein. The Seller shall remit for
deposit
in the Collection Account the Monthly Payment due on such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution.
Monthly payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
in the
month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. For the month of
substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment
due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the
Seller
shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received
by the
Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution,
the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made
with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans as of the date
of
substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in
Section
5.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in
Section 5 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the
Trustee
on behalf of the Purchaser.
It
is
understood and agreed that (i) the obligations of the Seller set forth
in this
Section 6 to cure, repurchase and substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan
and
(ii) the obligations of the Seller as provided in the next sentence constitute
the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a missing or defective document
or
a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.
The
Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless against any losses,
damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal
fees and
related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses resulting from any
claim,
demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from,
a
breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5(a),
(c),
(d) and (e) this Agreement.

Section
11. Mandatory
Delivery; Grant of Security Interest.
The
sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on
the
Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each
Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an
award of
money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the
losses
and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller’s failure to
deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the Closing Date. The Seller hereby
grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a continuing security interest in
the
Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and each document and instrument
evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure the performance by the Seller
of
its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage
Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser’s (i) right, prior
to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted
by this
Agreement and (ii) obligation to deliver or cause to be delivered the
consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 7 hereof. Any
Mortgage
Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released
from
the security interest created hereby. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance
of
the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment
to
the Seller, that its security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released.
All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct
from,
and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement
or
afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised
concurrently, independently or successively.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of the conditions set forth
in
Section 7 hereof shall have been satisfied and the Purchaser shall not
have paid
or caused to be paid the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, or any such condition
shall not have been waived or satisfied and the Purchaser determines not
to pay
or cause to be paid the Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall
immediately effect the redelivery of the Mortgage Loans, if delivery to
the
Purchaser has occurred and the security interest created by this Section
11
shall be deemed to have been released.
Section
12. Notices.
All
demands, notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be
deemed to have been duly given if personally delivered to or mailed by
registered mail, postage prepaid, or transmitted by telex or telegraph
and
confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if to the Purchaser, addressed to
the
Purchaser at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000,
Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or such other address as may hereafter
be
furnished to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser, and if to the Seller,
addressed to the Seller at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx
Xxxx
00000, Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or such other address as may
hereafter
be furnished to the Purchaser in writing by the Seller.
Section
13. Severability
of Provisions.
Any
part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is
prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective
to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating
the
remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty
of
this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void
or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating
the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability
in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which
prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
Section
14. Agreement
of Parties.
The
Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver such instruments
and
take such actions as either of the others may, from time to time, reasonably
request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of
this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section
15. Survival.
The
Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made
by it
herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto
shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf,
and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller
herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall survive the
delivery
of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force
and
effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the
Mortgage
Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the
Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.
Section
16. GOVERNING
LAW.
THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS, DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE
PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS
(INCLUDING THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK.
THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE
NEW YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
Section
17. Miscellaneous.
This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when
so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together
shall
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements
and
understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement
nor
any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally,
but
only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement
of
the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. The headings in
this
Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning hereof.
It
is the
express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the Mortgage
Loans
by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in Section 4 hereof be, and
be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser
and
not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to
secure a
debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the Mortgage
Loans are
held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the express intent of
the
parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by
the
Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller
and
(b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement
within
the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code;
(2) the
conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof shall be deemed to be a grant
by the
Seller to the Purchaser of a security interest in all of the Seller’s right,
title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all amounts payable
to the
holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and
all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing
into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, including without limitation
all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to time held or
invested
in the Collection Account whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities
or other property; (3) the possession by the Purchaser or its agent of
Mortgage
Notes, the related Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed
to be
“possession by the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code;
and
(4) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be
deemed
notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial
intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for
the
purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law. Any
assignment of the interest of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof
shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created
hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with
this
Agreement, take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans,
such
security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of
first
priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout
the term
of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section
18. Indemnification.
The
Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless each of (i) the Purchaser, (ii)
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and (iii) each person, if any, who controls
the
Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”) ((i) through (iii) collectively, the “Indemnified
Party”) against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities
to
which the Indemnified Party may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions
in
respect thereof) arise out of, are based upon, or result from, a breach
by the
Seller of any of the representations and warranties made by the Seller
herein,
it being understood that the Purchaser has relied upon such representations
and
warranties.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser and the Seller have caused their names to
be
signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the
date
first above written.

EXHIBIT
A
Representation
and Warranties with Respect to the Weichert Mortgage Loans
Except
for “Mortgage Loans”, which shall mean the Weichert Mortgage Loans sold by the
Seller to the Purchaser, all capitalized terms in this Exhibit A shall
have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Weichert Servicing Agreement.
(1) The
information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Mortgage
Loan data delivered to the Purchaser in the Data File is complete, true
and
correct;
(2) All
payments required to be made up to the close of business on the Closing
Date for
such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made;
the
Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received
any
advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged
Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required
by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage. There has been no delinquency, exclusive of
any
period of grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder since the
origination of the Mortgage Loan;
(3) There
are
no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments,
insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in
future
installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged
Property;
(4) The
Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule and is improved by a Residential Dwelling;
(5) The
terms
of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered
or
modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the
applicable public recording office or registered with the MERS System if
necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have
been
delivered to the Purchaser; the substance of any such waiver, alteration
or
modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance
Policy
or LPMI Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by
the
related policy, and is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.
No
instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and
no
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection
with an
assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance
Policy
or LPMI Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the extent required by the
policy,
and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Purchaser and
the terms
of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(6) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set
off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and/or the Mortgage,
or the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in
whole or
in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or
defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission,
set
off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto;
(7) The
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines
of
the Seller in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated; and
the
Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to FNMA and
FHLMC;
(8) All
buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable
to
FNMA and FHLMC against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such
other
hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located,
in
an amount not less than the greatest of (i) 100% of the replacement cost
of all
improvements to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) either (A) the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect to each first lien
Mortgage
Loan or (B) with respect to each second lien Mortgage Loan, the sum of
the
outstanding principal balance of the related first lien mortgage loan and
the
outstanding principal balance of the second lien Mortgage Loan, (iii) the
amount
necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect
to
the Mortgaged Property, or (iv) the amount necessary to fully compensate
for any
damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such property on
a
replacement cost basis. All such insurance policies contain a standard
mortgagee
clause naming the Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all
premiums thereon have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area
identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by
the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and
such
flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting
the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of FNMA and FHLMC.
The
Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance
at
the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so,
authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor’s
cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor;
(9) Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures,
consumer
credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing, disclosure laws
or
all predatory and abusive lending laws applicable to the origination and
servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have
been
complied with and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
will
not involve the violation of any such laws, and the Seller shall maintain
in its
possession, available for the inspection of the Purchaser or its designee,
and
shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee, upon two Business Days’ request,
evidence of compliance with such requirements;
(10) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded,
in whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed
that
would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission
or
release;
(11) The
related Mortgage is properly recorded and is a valid, existing and enforceable
(A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each
Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), or (B) second lien and second priority
security
interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller
to
be a Second Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either
case,
on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged
Property
subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments
not
yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights
of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of recording
being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and specifically
referred to in the lender’s title insurance policy delivered to the originator
of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the Appraised Value
of
the Mortgaged Property, (c) other matters to which like properties are
commonly
subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property and (d) with respect to
each
Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage
Loan
(as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) a First Lien on the Mortgaged
Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document
related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes
and
creates a valid, existing and enforceable (A) first lien and first priority
security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated
by the
Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule)
or (B)
second lien and second priority security interest with respect to each
Mortgage
Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan
(as
reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), in either case, on the property
described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign the
same to
the Purchaser. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination
of
the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure
debt or
other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the
Mortgage;
(12) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its
terms;
(13) All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter
into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage,
and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by
such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person;
(14) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account
of
the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional
funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site
or
off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or
closing
the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and
the
Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the
Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(15) The
Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage
Note
and the Mortgage. The Seller has full right and authority under all governmental
and regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such Seller, subject to
no
interest or participation of, or agreement with, any party, to transfer
and sell
the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement free and
clear of
any encumbrance or right of others, equity, lien, pledge, charge, mortgage,
claim, participation interest or security interest of any nature (collectively,
a “Lien”); and immediately upon the transfers and assignments herein
contemplated, the Seller shall have transferred and sold all of its right,
title
and interest in and to each Mortgage Loan and the Purchaser will hold good,
marketable and indefeasible title to, and be the owner of, each Mortgage
Loan
subject to no Lien;
(16) All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as originator,
mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in
which
they held and disposed of such interest, were): (A) organized under the
laws of
such state, or (B) qualified to do business in such state, or (C) federal
savings and loan associations or national banks having principal offices
in such
state, or (D) not doing business in such state so as to require qualification
or
licensing, or (E) not otherwise required to be licensed in such state.
All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan were in compliance
with
any and all applicable “doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws
of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located or were not required
to
be licensed in such state;
(17) The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) ALTA
lender’s title insurance policy acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC (which, in the case
of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement
in the form of ALTA 6.0 or 6.1), issued by a title insurer acceptable to
FNMA
and FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained above
in
(xi)(a) and (b) and, with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated
by
the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage
Loan
Schedule) clause (d)) the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the
first
priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage
Loan and, with respect to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any
loss by
reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from
the
provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest
Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy
affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property,
and
against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest
therein.
The Seller is the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such
lender’s title insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full
force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this
Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy,
and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has
done, by
act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title
insurance policy;
(18) There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Seller has
not
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect
to
each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien
Mortgage
Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) (i) the First Lien is
in full
force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event

to,
the extension of credit to a Mortgagor without regard for the Mortgagor’s

with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is in compliance
with the anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements of

Loan
product offered by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product
designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage
Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit
history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then
offered
by the Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s
originator. If, at the time of the related loan application, the Mortgagor
may
have qualified for a lower cost credit product then offered by any mortgage
lending affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s
originator referred the Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for

principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such
underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
(application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely
payments on the Mortgage Loan;
(72) All
points, fees and charges, including finance charges (whether or not financed,
assessed, collected or to be collected), in connection with the origination
and
servicing of each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the related
Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulation.
Except in the case of a Mortgage Loan in an original principal amount of
less
than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable origination,
no
related Mortgagor was charged “points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an
amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of such loan, such 5% limitation
is calculated in accordance with FNMA’s anti-predatory lending requirements as
set forth in the FNMA Selling Guide;
(73) The
Seller will transmit full-file credit reporting data for each Mortgage
Loan
pursuant to Xxxxxx Xxx Guide Announcement 95-19 and for each Mortgage Loan,

foreclosed, or charged-off;
(74) No
Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit life, disability, accident
or
health insurance product or debt cancellation agreement as a condition
of
obtaining the extension of credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single
premium credit life, disability, accident or health insurance policy in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and no proceeds from
any
Mortgage Loan were used to finance single-premium credit insurance policies
or
debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition
to
closing, such Mortgage Loan;
(75) The
Seller and any predecessor servicer has fully furnished, in accordance
with the
Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and
complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower
credit
files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three
of
the credit repositories) on a monthly basis; and the Seller will fully
furnish,
in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing
regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable)
on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Credit Information
Company (three of the credit repositories), on a monthly basis; and
(76) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, neither the related Mortgage nor the related
Mortgage Note requires the Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve
any
dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan transaction;
No Mortgagor agreed to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising
out
of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan transaction.

pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of FNMA or
FHLMC.
All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming
the
Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon
have
been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood
Hazard
Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been
made
available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy
conforms to the requirements of FNMA or FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates the
Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and
expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
(viii) Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures,
predatory and abusive lending, consumer credit protection, equal credit
opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination
and
servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have
been
complied with;
(ix) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded,
in whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed
that
would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission
or
release;
(x) The
Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first or second (as indicated
on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule) lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all
improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of
current
real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters
of the
public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage
lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which
do
not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c)
to the
extent the Mortgage Loan is a second lien Mortgage Loan, the related first
lien
on the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties
are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of
the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment,
value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement,
chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection
with the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable
first or
second (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) lien and first or second
(as
indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) priority security interest on
the
property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign
the
same to the Purchaser. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of
origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust,
deed to
secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to
the lien
of the Mortgage;
(xi) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its
terms except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy;
(xii) All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter
into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage,
and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by
such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person;
(xiii) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account
of
the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional
funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site
or
off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or
closing
the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and
the
Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the
Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(xiv) The
Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage
Note
and the Mortgage and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan
to
the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge,
charge,
claim or security interest;
(xv) All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held
and disposed of such interest, were) in material compliance with any and
all
applicable “doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of the state
wherein the Mortgaged Property is located (or were otherwise exempt from
such
requirements under applicable law);
(xvi) The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) lender’s
title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan
has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or
6.1)
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA
or
FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (x)(a)
and
(b) above) the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first or second
(as
indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) priority lien of the Mortgage
in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity
or
unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage
providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment.
Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress
and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments
by or
upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller is the
sole
insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title
insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force
and
effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no
prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by
act or
omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title
insurance policy;
(xvii) There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Seller has
not
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect
to
each second lien mortgage loan (i) the first lien mortgage loan is in full
force
and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
existing under such first lien mortgage or the related mortgage note, (iii)
no
event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration
of any
grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or
event of
acceleration thereunder, and either (A) the first lien mortgage contains
a
provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires, the mortgagee under
the
second lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and affords such mortgagee
an
opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or otherwise under the
first
lien mortgage;
(xviii) There
are
no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor
or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise
to
such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage;
(xix) All
improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of
the
related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;
(xx) As
of the
origination of the Mortgage Loan, no improvement located on the Mortgaged
Property was in violation of any applicable zoning or subdivision laws
or
ordinances;
(xxi) The
Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller or by a savings and loan association,
a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar
institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority,
or
by a mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD pursuant to Section
203
and 211 of the National Housing Act;
(xxii) Principal
payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after the
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest
at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage
Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments, which,
other
than with respect to a Balloon Mortgage Loan, in the case of a Fixed Rate
Mortgage Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal
balance
over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage
Interest Rate, and, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are
changed
on each Adjustment Date, and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize
the
original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest
at
the related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Index for each Adjustable Rate
Mortgage
Loan is as defined in the related Confirmation. With respect to each Balloon
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient
to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term
thereof
and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate and requires
a final
Monthly Payment substantially greater than the preceding monthly payment
which
is sufficient to repay the remained unpaid principal balance of the Balloon
Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date of such monthly payment. The Mortgage
Note does
not permit negative amortization. No Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage
Loan;
(xxiii) The
origination and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to
each
Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent
and
customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry. The Mortgage
Loan
has been serviced by the Seller and any predecessor servicer in accordance
with
the terms of the Mortgage Note. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow
Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under
the
control of, the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith
for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made.
No
escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the
Seller
have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and
no
such escrow deposits or Escrow Payments are being held by the Seller for
any
work on a Mortgaged Property which has not been completed;
(xxiv) The
Mortgaged Property is in good repair and is free of damage and waste and
there
is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation
thereof;
(xxv) The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as
a deed
of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. The
Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or
foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under
applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available
to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged
Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The
Mortgagor has not notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of
any
relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil
Relief Act;
(xxvi) The
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the underwriting standards
of
the Seller in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated which
underwriting standards satisfy the standards of FNMA or FHLMC; and the
Mortgage
Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC;
(xxvii) The
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except
the lien
of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the security
interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred
to in
(xi) above;
(xxviii) The
Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property which
satisfied the standards of FNMA or FHLMC, was on appraisal form 1004 or
form
2055 with an interior inspection with respect to each first lien Mortgage
Loan,
and on appraisal form 704, 2065 or 2055 with an exterior inspection with
respect
to each second lien Mortgage Loan, and was made and signed, prior to the
approval of the Mortgage Loan application, by a qualified appraiser, duly
appointed by the Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the
Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof, whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage
Loan
and who met the minimum qualifications of FNMA or FHLMC. Each appraisal
of the
Mortgage Loan was made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of
1989;
(xxix) In
the
event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under
applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently
so
serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will
become
payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
in
connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(xxx) No
Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are
(a)
paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established
by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, (b)
paid by
any source other than the Mortgagor or (c) contains any other similar provisions
which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated
payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation
or other contingent interest feature;
(xxxi) The
Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor has
received
all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the
making
of fixed rate mortgage loans in the case of Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans,
and
adjustable rate mortgage loans in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loans and
rescission materials with respect to Refinanced Mortgage Loans, and such
statement is and will remain in the Mortgage File;
(xxxii) No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (a) the construction or rehabilitation
of a Mortgaged Property or (b) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of
a
Mortgaged Property;
(xxxiii) The
Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect
to the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit
standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to
be an
unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent,
or
adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxxiv) No
Mortgage Loan had an LTV or a CLTV at origination in excess of 100%. Each
Mortgage Loan with an LTV or CLTV at origination in excess of 80% is and
will be
subject to a Primary Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified Insurer, which
insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property required by FNMA. All provisions
of
such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such
policy
is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been
paid. Any
Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges
in
connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan
does not
include any such insurance premium;
(xxxv) The
Mortgaged Property is, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, lawfully occupied
under applicable law; all inspections, licenses and certificates required
to be
made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property
and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not
limited to certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities;
(xxxvi) No
error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any person, including
without limitation the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer,
or
any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in
the
application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan;
(xxxvii) For
each
Mortgage Loan that is not a MOM Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage is in
recordable form except for the name of the assignee which is blank and
is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located. The original Mortgage was or is being recorded
and, unless the Mortgage Loan is subject to the MERS System, all subsequent
assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to Purchaser)
have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdiction wherein such recordation
is
necessary to perfect the lien thereof against creditors of Seller, or is
in the
process of being recorded.
(xxxviii) Any
principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have
been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage,
and
the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest
rate and
single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated
principal amount is expressly insured as having first or second lien priority
by
a title insurance policy or an endorsement to the policy insuring the
mortgagee’s consolidated interest. The consolidated principal amount does not
exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxxix) Unless
otherwise set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, no Mortgage
Loan has
a balloon payment feature;
(xl) If

of
such law;
(xliv) Seller
shall, at its own expense, cause each Mortgage Loan to be covered by a
Tax
Service Contract which is assignable to the Purchaser or its designee;
provided
however, that if the Seller fails to purchase such Tax Service Contract,
the
Seller shall be required to reimburse the Purchaser for all costs and expenses
incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of any such Tax
Service Contract;
(xlv) Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by a Flood Zone Service Contract which is assignable
to
the Purchaser or its designee or, for each Mortgage Loan not covered by
such
Flood Zone Service Contract, the Seller agrees to purchase such Flood Zone
Service Contract;
(xlvi) No
Mortgage Loan is (a) subject to the provisions of the Homeownership and
Equity
Protection Act of 1994 as amended (“HOEPA”), (b) a “high cost” mortgage loan,
“covered” mortgage loan or “predatory” mortgage loan or any other comparable
term, no matter how defined under any federal, state or local law, (c)
subject
to any comparable federal, state or local statutes or regulations, or any
other
statute or regulation providing for heightened regulatory scrutiny or assignee
liability to holders of such mortgage loans, or (d) a High Cost Loan or
Covered
Loan, as applicable (as such terms are defined in the current Standard
&
Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary Revised, Appendix E);
(xlvii) No
predatory or deceptive lending practices, including but not limited to,
the
extension of credit to a mortgagor without regard for the mortgagor’s ability to
repay the Mortgage Loan and the extension of credit to a mortgagor which
has no
apparent benefit to the mortgagor, were employed in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is in compliance with
the
anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements of the FNMA
Guides;
(xlviii) The
debt-to-income ratio of the related Mortgagor was not greater than 60%
at the
origination of the related Mortgage Loan;
(xlix) No
Mortgagor was required to purchase any single premium credit insurance
policy
(e.g., life, disability, accident, unemployment, or health insurance product)
or
debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of
credit.
No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit insurance policy
(e.g.,
life, disability, accident, unemployment, mortgage, or health insurance)
in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from
any
Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies
or
debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition
to
closing, such Mortgage Loan;
(l) The
Mortgage Loans were not selected from the outstanding one to four-family
mortgage loans in the Seller’s portfolio at the related Closing Date as to which
the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement could be
made in
a manner so as to affect adversely the interests of the Purchaser;

Mortgage Loan complies with all applicable consumer credit statutes and
regulations, including, without limitation, the respective Uniform Consumer
Credit Code laws in effect in Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,

and
correct in all material respects and each Prepayment Charge is permissible,
enforceable and collectable under applicable federal and state law;

Mortgage Loan is secured by cooperative housing, commercial property, mobile
homes, manufactured housing or mixed use property;
(lvi) Except
as
set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans
are
subject to a Prepayment Charge. For any Mortgage Loan originated prior
to
October 1, 2002 that is subject to a Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment
Charge
does not extend beyond five years after the date of origination. For any
Mortgage Loan originated on or following October 1, 2002 that is subject
to a
Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment Charge does not extend beyond three
years
after the date of origination. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains
a
provision permitting imposition of a Prepayment Charge upon a prepayment
prior
to maturity: (i) prior to the Mortgage Loan’s origination, the Mortgagor agreed
to such Prepayment Charge in exchange for a monetary benefit, including
but not

origination, the Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a Mortgage
Loan
that did not require payment of such a Prepayment Charge, (iii) the Prepayment
Charge is disclosed to the Mortgagor in the loan documents pursuant to
applicable state and federal law, (v) for Mortgage Loans originated on
or after

reduction in prepayment period, and (v) notwithstanding any state or federal
law
to the contrary, the Seller shall not impose such Prepayment Charge in
any
instance when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor’s
default in making the loan payments;
(lvii) The
Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and
regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001
(collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”); the Seller has established an
anti-money laundering compliance program as required by the Anti-Money
Laundering Laws, has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection
with
the origination of each Mortgage Loan for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering

and
the origin of the assets used by the said Mortgagor to purchase the property
in
question, and maintains, and will maintain, sufficient information to identify
the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws.
No
Mortgage Loan is subject to nullification pursuant to Executive Order 13224
(the
“Executive Order”) or the regulations promulgated by the Office of Foreign
Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (the “OFAC
Regulations”) or in violation of the Executive Order or the OFAC Regulations,
and no Mortgagor is subject to the provisions of such Executive Order or
the
OFAC Regulations nor listed as a “blocked person” for purposes of the OFAC
Regulations;
(lviii) No
Mortgage Loan is secured by real property or secured by a manufactured
home
located in the state of Georgia unless (x) such Mortgage Loan was originated
prior to October 1, 2002 or after March 6, 2003, or (y) the property securing
the Mortgage Loan is not, nor will be, occupied by the Mortgagor as the
Mortgagor’s principal dwelling. No Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Home Loan” as
defined in the Georgia Fair Lending Act, as amended (the “Georgia Act”) or the
New York Banking Law 6-1. Each Mortgage Loan that is a “Home Loan” under the
Georgia Act complies with all applicable provisions of the Georgia Act.
No
Mortgage Loan secured by owner occupied real property or an owner occupied
manufactured home located in the State of Georgia was originated (or modified)
on or after October 1, 2002 through and including March 6, 2003;
(lix) No
Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product
offered
by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for
less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s
origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit
history
and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered
by the
Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator.
If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for
a for
a lower cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate
of
the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the
Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting
consideration;
(lx) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
employs objective mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor’s income,
assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology
does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the
principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such
underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
(application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely
payments on the Mortgage Loan;
(lxi) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller has fully and accurately furnished
complete information on the related borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian

Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information
on its
borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union Credit Information
Company, on a monthly basis;
(lxii) All
points and fees related to each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing
to the
related Borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
regulation. Except in the case of a Mortgage Loan in an original principal
amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable
origination, no related Borrower was charged “points and fees” (whether or not
financed) in an amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of such
loan,
such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Xxxxxx Mae’s anti-predatory
lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Mae Selling Guide;

fees
and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed,
collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing
of
each Mortgage Loan has been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance
with applicable state and federal law and regulation;

EXHIBIT
C
Representation
and Warranties with Respect to the MortgageIT Mortgage Loans
Except
for “Mortgage Loans”, which shall mean the MortgageIT Mortgage Loans sold by the
Seller to the Purchaser, all capitalized terms in this Exhibit C shall
have the
meanings ascribed to them in the MortgageIT Servicing Agreement.
(1) The
information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete,
true
and correct;
(2) The
Mortgage Loan is in compliance with all requirements set forth in the related
Confirmation, and the characteristics of the related Mortgage Loan Package
as
set forth in the related Confirmation are true and correct;
(3)
All
payments required to be made up to the close of business on the Closing
Date for
such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made.
The
Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received
any
advance of funds from a party other than the owner of the related Mortgaged
Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required
by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage; and there has been no delinquency, exclusive
of any
period of grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder since the
origination of the Mortgage Loan;
(4)
There
are no delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments,
insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in
future
installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged
Property;
(5)
The
terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived,
altered or modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded
in
the applicable public recording office or registered with the MERS System
if
necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have
been
delivered to the Purchaser or its designee; the substance of any such waiver,
alteration or modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary
Insurance Policy, if applicable, and the title insurer, to the extent required
by the related policy, and is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.
No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed,
and no
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection
with an
assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance
Policy,
if applicable, and the title insurer, to the extent required by the policy,
and
which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Purchaser or its designee
and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule;
(6)
The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, or
the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage unenforceable, in
whole or
in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.
Each
Prepayment Charge or penalty with respect to any Mortgage Loan is permissible,
enforceable and collectible under applicable federal, state and local
law;
(7) All
buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by an insurer acceptable
to
FNMA and FHLMC against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such
other
hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located,
pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of FNMA and
FHLMC.
All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming
the
Seller, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon
have
been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified on a Flood
Hazard
Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been
made
available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which policy
conforms to the requirements of FNMA and FHLMC. The Mortgage obligates
the
Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and
expense, and on the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
Mortgage to maintain such insurance at Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
(8) Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures,
predatory and abusive lending, consumer credit protection, equal credit
opportunity, fair housing or disclosure laws applicable to the origination
and
servicing of mortgage loans of a type similar to the Mortgage Loans have
been
complied with;
(9)
The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded,
in whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed
that
would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission
or
release;
(10) The
Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first or second (as indicated
on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule) lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all
improvements on the Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of
current
real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters
of the
public record as of the date of recording being acceptable to mortgage
lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender’s title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and which
do
not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, (c)
to the
extent the Mortgage Loan is a second lien Mortgage Loan, the related first
lien
on the Mortgaged Property; and (d) other matters to which like properties
are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of
the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment,
value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement,
chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection
with the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable
first or
second (as indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) lien and first or second
(as
indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) priority security interest on
the
property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and assign
the
same to the Purchaser. The Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of
origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust,
deed to
secure debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to
the lien
of the Mortgage;
(11) The
Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine and each is the legal,
valid
and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance
with its
terms except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy;
(12) All
parties to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter
into
the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage,
and the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by
such parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person;
(13) The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed to or for the account
of
the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for the Mortgagee to advance additional
funds thereunder and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site
or
off-site improvement and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor
have
been complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or
closing
the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and
the
Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due to the
Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(14) The
Seller is the sole legal, beneficial and equitable owner of the Mortgage
Note
and the Mortgage and has full right to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan
to
the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge,
charge,
claim or security interest;
(15) All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they
held
and disposed of such interest, were) in material compliance with any and
all
applicable “doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws of the state
wherein the Mortgaged Property is located (or were otherwise exempt from
such
requirements under applicable law);
(16) The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) lender’s
title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loan
has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of ALTA 6.0 or
6.1)
acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC, issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA
and
FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (x)(a)
and
(b) above) the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first or second
(as
indicated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) priority lien of the Mortgage
in the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the invalidity
or
unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage
providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment.
Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress
and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property, and against encroachments
by or
upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The Seller is the
sole
insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title
insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in full force
and
effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no
prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by
act or
omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such lender’s title
insurance policy;
(17) There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and the Seller has
not
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With respect
to
each second lien mortgage loan (i) the first lien mortgage loan is in full
force
and effect, (ii) to the best of Seller’s knowledge, there is no default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration existing under such first lien mortgage
or
the related mortgage note, (iii) no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and either
(A)
the first lien mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable
law
requires, the mortgagee under the second lien Mortgage Loan to receive
notice
of, and affords such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment
in
full or otherwise under the first lien mortgage;
(18) There
are
no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor
or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise
to
such lien) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage;
(19) All
improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of
the
related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;
(20) As
of the
origination of the Mortgage Loan, no improvement located on the Mortgaged
Property was in violation of any applicable zoning or subdivision laws
or
ordinances;
(21) The
Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller or by a savings and loan association,
a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union, insurance company or similar
banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state
authority, or by a mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD pursuant
to Section 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act;
(22) Principal
payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after the
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest
at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage
Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments, which,
other
than with respect to a Balloon Mortgage Loan, in the case of a Fixed Rate
Mortgage Loans, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal
balance
over the original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage
Interest Rate, and, in the case of an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are
changed
on each Adjustment Date, and in any case, are sufficient to fully amortize
the
original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest
at
the related Mortgage Interest Rate. The Index for each Adjustable Rate
Mortgage
Loan is as defined in the related Confirmation. With respect to each Balloon
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient
to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original term
thereof
and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate and requires
a final
Monthly Payment substantially greater than the preceding monthly payment
which
is sufficient to repay the remained unpaid principal balance of the Balloon
Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date of such monthly payment. The Mortgage
Note does
not permit negative amortization. No Mortgage Loan is a Convertible Mortgage
Loan;
(23) The
origination and collection practices used by the Seller with respect to
each
Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent
and
customary in the mortgage origination and servicing industry. The Mortgage
Loan
has been serviced by the Seller and any predecessor servicer in accordance
with
the terms of the Mortgage Note. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow
Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under
the
control of, the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith
for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made.
No
escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the
Seller
have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and
no
such escrow deposits or Escrow Payments are being held by the Seller for
any
work on a Mortgaged Property which has not been completed;
(24) The
Mortgaged Property is in good repair and is free of material damage and
waste
and there is no proceeding pending for the total or partial condemnation
thereof;
(25) The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (a) in the case of a Mortgage designated as
a deed
of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. The
Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any bankruptcy proceeding or
foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not filed for protection under
applicable bankruptcy laws. There is no homestead or other exemption available
to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged
Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The
Mortgagor has not notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of
any
relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil
Relief Act;
(26) The
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the underwriting standards
of
the Seller in effect at the time the Mortgage Loan was originated, which
underwriting standards satisfy the standards of FNMA and FHLMC; and the
Mortgage
Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC;
(27) The
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except
the lien
of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the security
interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred
to in
(x) above;
(28) The
Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property which
satisfied the standards of FNMA and FHLMC, was on appraisal form 1004 or
form
2055 with an interior inspection, and was made and signed, prior to the
approval
of the Mortgage Loan application, by a qualified appraiser, duly appointed
by
the Seller, who had no interest, direct or indirect in the Mortgaged Property
or
in any loan made on the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected
by
the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum
qualifications of FNMA and FHLMC. Each appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was
made
in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Financial Institutions
Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989;
(29) In
the
event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under
applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently
so
serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will
become
payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
in
connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(30) No
Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments are
(a)
paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account established
by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, (b)
paid by
any source other than the Mortgagor or (c) contains any other similar provisions
which may constitute a “buydown” provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated
payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation
or other contingent interest feature;
(31) The
Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor has
received
all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the
making
of fixed rate mortgage loans in the case of Fixed Rate Mortgage Loans,
and
adjustable rate mortgage loans in the case of Adjustable Rate Mortgage
Loans and
rescission materials with respect to Refinanced Mortgage Loans, and such
statement is and will remain in the Mortgage File;
(32) No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (a) the construction or rehabilitation
of a Mortgaged Property or (b) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of
a
Mortgaged Property;
(33) The
Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect
to the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit
standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to
be an
unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent,
or
adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan;
(34) No
Mortgage Loan had an LTV or a CLTV at origination in excess of 100%. Each
Prime/Alt-A Mortgage Loan with an LTV or CLTV at origination in excess
of 80% is
and will be subject to a Primary Insurance Policy, issued by a Qualified
Insurer, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of the
portion of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property required by FNMA.
All
provisions of such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied
with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder
have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary Insurance Policy
obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay
all
premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate
for the
Prime/Alt-A Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance
premium;
(35) The
Mortgaged Property is, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, lawfully occupied
under applicable law; all inspections, licenses and certificates required
to be
made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property
and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not
limited to certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities;
(36) No
error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Mortgagor,
the
Seller, or to the best of Seller’s knowledge, any appraiser, any builder or
developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage
Loan
or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage
Loan;
(37) For
each
Mortgage Loan that is not a MOM Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage is in
recordable form except for the name of the assignee that is blank and is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located. The original Mortgage was or is being recorded
and, unless the Mortgage Loan is subject to the MERS System, all subsequent
assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to Purchaser)
have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdiction wherein such recordation
is
necessary to perfect the lien thereof against creditors of Seller, or is
in the
process of being recorded.
(38) Any
principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Cut-off Date have
been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage,
and
the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest
rate and
single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated
principal amount is expressly insured as having first or second lien priority
by
a title insurance policy or an endorsement to the policy insuring the
mortgagee’s consolidated interest. The consolidated principal amount does not
exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(39) Unless
otherwise set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, no Mortgage
Loan has
a balloon payment feature;
(40)
If the
Residential Dwelling on the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or
a unit
in a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development)
such condominium or planned unit development project meets the eligibility
requirements of FNMA and FHLMC;
(41) The
source of the down payment with respect to each Mortgage Loan has been
fully
verified by the Seller;
(42) Interest
on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting
of
twelve 30-day months;
(43) The
Mortgaged Property is in material compliance with all applicable environmental
laws pertaining to environmental hazards including, without limitation,
asbestos, and neither the Seller nor, to the Seller’s knowledge, the related
Mortgagor, has received any notice of any violation or potential violation
of
such law;
(44) Seller
shall, at its own expense, cause each Mortgage Loan to be covered by a
Tax
Service Contract which is assignable to the Purchaser or its designee;
provided
however, that if the Seller fails to purchase such Tax Service Contract,
the
Seller shall be required to reimburse the Purchaser for all costs and expenses
incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of any such Tax
Service Contract;
(45) Each
Mortgage Loan is covered by a Flood Zone Service Contract which is assignable
to
the Purchaser or its designee or, for each Mortgage Loan not covered by
such
Flood Zone Service Contract, the Seller agrees to purchase such Flood Zone
Service Contract;
(46) No
Mortgage Loan is (a) subject to the provisions of the Homeownership and
Equity
Protection Act of 1994 as amended (“HOEPA”), (b) a “high cost” mortgage loan,
“covered” mortgage loan, “high risk home” mortgage loan or “predatory” mortgage
loan or any other comparable term, no matter how defined under any federal,
state or local law, (c) subject to any comparable federal, state or local
statutes or regulations, or any other statute or regulation providing for
heightened regulatory scrutiny or assignee liability to holders of such
mortgage
loans, or (d) a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable (as such
terms are
defined in the current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary Revised, Appendix
E);
(47) No
predatory or deceptive lending practices, including but not limited to,
the
extension of credit to a mortgagor without regard for the mortgagor’s ability to
repay the Mortgage Loan and the extension of credit to a mortgagor which
has no
apparent benefit to the mortgagor, were employed in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan. Each Mortgage Loan is in compliance with
the
anti-predatory lending eligibility for purchase requirements of the FNMA
Guides;
(48) Not
more
than one percent (1%) of the Mortgage Loans purchased on the related Closing
Date, measured by the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loans
as of the related Cut-off Date, include a Mortgage Note for which a lost
note
affidavit with indemnification has been delivered;
(49) No
Mortgagor was required to purchase any single premium credit insurance
policy
(e.g., life, disability, accident, unemployment, or health insurance product)
or
debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of
credit.
No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit insurance policy
(e.g.,
life, disability, accident, unemployment, mortgage, or health insurance)
in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from
any
Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies
or
debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition
to
closing, such Mortgage Loan;
(50) The
Mortgage Loans were not selected from the outstanding one to four-family
mortgage loans in the Seller’s portfolio at the related Closing Date as to which
the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement could be
made in
a manner so as to affect adversely the interests of the Purchaser;
(51)
The
Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the acceleration of the
payment
of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that
the
Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent
of
the mortgagee thereunder;
(52)
The
Mortgage Loan complies with all applicable consumer credit statutes and
regulations, including, without limitation, the respective Uniform Consumer
Credit Code laws in effect in Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah and Wyoming (to the extent that the related
Mortgaged Property is located in such state), has been originated by a
properly
licensed entity, and in all other respects, complies with all of the material
requirements of any such applicable laws;
(53) The
information set forth in the Prepayment Charge Schedule is complete, true
and
correct in all material respects and each Prepayment Charge is permissible,
enforceable and collectable under applicable federal and state law;
(54) The
Mortgage Loan was not prepaid in full prior to the Closing Date and the
Seller
has not received notification from a Mortgagor that a prepayment in full
shall
be made after the Closing Date;
(55) No
Mortgage Loan is secured by cooperative housing, commercial property, mobile
homes, manufactured housing or mixed use property;
(56) Except
as
set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans
are
subject to a Prepayment Charge. For any Mortgage Loan originated prior
to
October 1, 2002 that is subject to a Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment
Charge
does not extend beyond five years after the date of origination. For any
Mortgage Loan originated on or following October 1, 2002 that is subject
to a
Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment Charge does not extend beyond three
years
after the date of origination. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains
a
provision permitting imposition of a Prepayment Charge upon a prepayment
prior
to maturity: (i) prior to the Mortgage Loan’s origination, the Mortgagor agreed
to such Prepayment Charge in exchange for a monetary benefit, including
but not
limited to a rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan’s
origination, the Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a Mortgage
Loan
that did not require payment of such a Prepayment Charge, (iii) the Prepayment
Charge is disclosed to the Mortgagor in the loan documents pursuant to
applicable state and federal law, (iv) for Mortgage Loans originated on
or after
September 1, 2004, the duration of the prepayment period shall not exceed
three
(3) years from the date of the Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage Loan
was
modified to reduce the prepayment period to no more than three years from
the
date of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgagor was notified in writing of
such
reduction in prepayment period, and (v) notwithstanding any state or federal
law
to the contrary, the Seller shall not impose such Prepayment Charge in
any
instance when the mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor’s
default in making the loan payments;
(57) The
Seller has complied with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and
regulations, including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001
(collectively, the “Anti-Money Laundering Laws”); the Seller has established an
anti-money laundering compliance program as required by the Anti-Money
Laundering Laws, has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection
with
the origination of each Mortgage Loan for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering
Laws, including with respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor
and
the origin of the assets used by the said Mortgagor to purchase the property
in
question, and maintains, and will maintain, sufficient information to identify
the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws.
No
Mortgage Loan is subject to nullification pursuant to Executive Order 13224
(the
“Executive Order”) or the regulations promulgated by the Office of Foreign
Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (the “OFAC
Regulations”) or in violation of the Executive Order or the OFAC Regulations,
and no Mortgagor is subject to the provisions of such Executive Order or
the
OFAC Regulations nor listed as a “blocked person” for purposes of the OFAC
Regulations;
(58) No
Mortgage Loan is secured by real property or secured by a manufactured
home

prior to October 1, 2002 or after March 6, 2003, or (y) the property securing
the Mortgage Loan is not, nor will be, occupied by the Mortgagor as the
Mortgagor’s principal dwelling. No Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Home Loan” as
defined in the Georgia Fair Lending Act, as amended (the “Georgia Act”) or the
New York Banking Law 6-1. Each Mortgage Loan that is a “Home Loan” under the
Georgia Act complies with all applicable provisions of the Georgia Act.
No
Mortgage Loan secured by owner occupied real property or an owner occupied
manufactured home located in the State of Georgia was originated (or modified)
on or after October 1, 2002 through and including March 6, 2003;
(59) No
Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a Mortgage Loan product
offered
by the Mortgage Loan’s originator which is a higher cost product designed for
less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s
origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit
history
and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered
by the
Mortgage Loan’s originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan’s originator.
If, at the time of loan application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for
a for
a lower cost credit product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate
of
the Mortgage Loan’s originator, the Mortgage Loan’s originator referred the
Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting
consideration;
(60) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
employs objective mathematical principles which relate the Mortgagor’s income,
assets and liabilities to the proposed payment and such underwriting methodology
does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the
principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. Such
underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of origination
(application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to make timely
payments on the Mortgage Loan;
(61) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller has fully and accurately furnished
complete information on the related borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian
and Trans Union Credit Information Company, in accordance with the Fair
Credit
Reporting Act and its implementing regulations, on a monthly basis and
the
Seller for each Loan will furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting
Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information
on its
borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union Credit Information
Company, on a monthly basis;
(62) All
points and fees related to each Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing
to the
related Borrower in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
regulation. Except in the case of a Mortgage Loan in an original principal
amount of less than $60,000 which would have resulted in an unprofitable
origination, no related Borrower was charged “points and fees” (whether or not
financed) in an amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of such
loan,
such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Xxxxxx Mae’s anti-predatory
lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Mae Selling Guide;
(63) All
fees
and charges (including finance charges) and whether or not financed, assessed,
collected or to be collected in connection with the origination and servicing
of
each Mortgage Loan has been disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance

EXHIBIT
D
Representation
and Warranties with Respect to the WAMU Mortgage Loans
Except
for “Mortgage Loans”, which shall mean the WAMU Mortgage Loans sold by the
Seller to the Purchaser, all capitalized terms in this Exhibit D shall
have the
meanings ascribed to them in the WAMU Servicing Agreement.
(a) The
information with respect to such Mortgage Loan set forth on the related
Mortgage
Loan Schedule is true and correct in all material respects.
(b) Immediately
prior to the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser pursuant to
Section 2.1, neither the related Mortgage nor the Mortgage Note were
assigned or pledged to any Person and the Seller had good and marketable
title
thereto. Immediately prior to the transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the
Purchaser
pursuant to Section 2.1, the Seller was the sole legal, beneficial and
equitable owner and holder of such Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any
and all
liens, claims, encumbrances, participation interests, equities, pledges,
charges, or security interests of any nature, and had full right and authority
to sell and assign such Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement. Upon
the
transfer of the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1, the
Seller shall have taken all actions necessary on its part to be taken so
that
the Purchaser will have good indefeasible title to, and will be sole owner
of,
the related Mortgage and the Mortgage Note, free and clear of any and all
liens,
claims, encumbrances, participation interests, equities, pledges, charges,
or
security interests of any nature.
(c) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan other than a Cooperative Loan, (i) the Mortgage
is
a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property,
including all buildings, fixtures, installations and improvements to the
Mortgaged Property, and the Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all
encumbrances and liens having parity with or priority over the first lien
of the
Mortgage except for (A) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (B) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements, mineral right reservations and
other
matters of public record as of the date of recording of such Mortgage,
such
exceptions generally being acceptable under prudent mortgage lending standards
and specifically reflected in the appraisal made in connection with the
origination of such Mortgage Loan or specifically referred to in the mortgagee’s
policy of title insurance and (C) other matters to which like properties
are commonly subject that do not materially interfere with the value (as
determined by the Appraised Value), use, enjoyment or marketability of
the
Mortgaged Property and (ii) there are no security agreements, pledged accounts,
chattel mortgages, or equivalent documents related to the Mortgage.
(d) The
terms
of the Mortgage and the Mortgage Note have not been impaired, waived, altered,
or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument that has been
recorded, if necessary, to protect the interest of the Purchaser and that
is a
part of the Collateral File. The substance of any such alteration or
modification has been approved by the insurer under the related Primary
Mortgage
Insurance Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required
by the
related title insurance policy, and is
reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(e) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, subordinated or rescinded,
in whole
or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien
of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed
that
would effect any such satisfaction, cancellation, subordination, rescission
or
release, except in connection with an assumption agreement or modification
agreement that is part of the Collateral File.
(f) There
is
no default, breach, violation, or event of acceleration existing under
the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
such a default, breach, violation, or event of acceleration, and neither
the
Seller, nor to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, any seller or servicer, has
waived any such default, breach, violation, or event of acceleration. All
taxes,
governmental assessments (including assessments payable in future installments),
insurance premiums, leasehold payments, and ground rents which previously
became
due and owing in respect of or affecting the related Mortgaged Property
have
been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient
to
pay for every such item that remains unpaid and that has been assessed
but is
not yet due and payable. The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced,
solicited, or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other
than the
Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required
by the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. No foreclosure action has been commenced
with
respect to such Mortgage Loan.
(g) The
Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and waste and in good repair.
There is no proceeding pending or, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge,
threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property
and
no notice of any such pending or threatened proceeding has been received
so as
to adversely impair the value or marketability of the Mortgaged
Property.
(h) There
are
no mechanics’ or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor,
or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise
to
such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property that are, or may be,
liens
prior or equal to, or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage
and that
are not insured against by the related mortgagee’s policy of title
insurance.
(i) All
of
the improvements which were included for the purpose of determining the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property were completed at the time that
such
Mortgage Loan was originated and lie wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of such Mortgaged Property; provided, that if such Mortgage
Loan is an Escrow Holdback Mortgage Loan, the improvements described in
the
applicable agreement governing escrow arrangement may not have been made
at the
time such Mortgage Loan was originated. No improvements on adjoining properties
encroach upon the Mortgaged Property
except
those that are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to
in
Section 3.1(q).
No
improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation
of any applicable zoning law or regulation, subdivision law or
ordinance.
(j) The
Seller is (or, if the Seller did not originate the Mortgage Loan, the
originator, during the period in which it held and disposed of such Mortgage
Loan, was): (i) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing
requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is

Payment. All payments required to be made under the related Mortgage and
Mortgage Note through and including the related Cut-off Date, have been

Unless otherwise stated in the related Commitment Letter, not more than
one
payment required to be made under the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note
has
remained unpaid through its next Due Date (excluding any applicable grace
period) during the twelve months immediately preceding the related Cut-off
Date.
(l) There
are
no custodial agreements in effect adversely affecting the right or ability
of
the Seller to make the deliveries specified in Section 2.2(a) or
Section 2.2(d).
(m) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are genuine, and each is the legal, valid
and
binding obligation of the maker thereof and each party assuming liability
therefor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or
other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except
that the equitable remedy of specific performance and other equitable remedies
are subject to the discretion of the courts. All parties to the Mortgage
Note
and the Mortgage had legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage and convey the estate therein purported to be conveyed, and the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed and
delivered by such parties or pursuant to a valid power-of-attorney that
has been
recorded with the Mortgage. The Mortgagor or co-Mortgagor is a natural
person.
(n) The
Mortgage has been duly assigned and the Mortgage Note has been duly endorsed
as
provided in Section 2.2(a). Any Assignment of Mortgage delivered to the
Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i)(C) is in recordable form except for
the insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information and
is
acceptable for recording under the laws of the applicable
jurisdiction.
(o) Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state, or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures,
consumer
credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing, anti-money
laundering, predatory or abusive lending or disclosure laws (including
without
limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001) applicable to the origination and
servicing of the Mortgage Loans have been complied with. The consummation
of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any
such
laws. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether
as
mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in
which
they held and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with or exempt
from
any and all applicable “doing business” and licensing requirements of the laws
of the state wherein the applicable Mortgaged Property is located.
(p) The
proceeds of such Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed; provided that,
if such
Mortgage Loan is an Escrow Holdback Mortgage Loan, all of the proceeds
of such
Mortgage Loan have been or will be disbursed (i) upon the completion of
the
improvements described in the applicable agreement governing the escrow
arrangement, and (ii) in a manner acceptable to the Seller. There is no
requirement for, and the Seller shall not make any, future advances under
the
terms of the Mortgage Loan. Any future advances made prior to the applicable
Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the principal balance secured
by the
Mortgage, and such principal balance, as consolidated, bears a single interest
rate and single repayment term reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.
The Unpaid Principal Balance as of the applicable Cut-off Date does not
exceed
the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan. Any and all requirements
as
to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements
of
any escrow funds therefor have been complied with, and certificates of
completion with respect thereto are contained in the related Credit File;
provided that, if such Mortgage Loan is an Escrow Holdback Mortgage Loan,
the
improvements described in the applicable agreement governing the escrow
arrangement may not have been completed and escrow funds related to such
improvements may not have been disbursed pursuant to the terms of such
agreement. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, or closing
or
recording such Mortgage Loan have been paid or shall be paid in the ordinary
course of business. The Mortgagor of such Mortgage Loan (unless it is an
Escrow
Holdback Mortgage Loan) is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid
or due
to the mortgagee pursuant to the related Mortgage Note or Mortgage.
(q) Such
Mortgage Loan (unless it is a Cooperative Loan) is covered by an ALTA mortgage
title insurance policy acceptable to Seller, with, in the case of an ARM
Loan,
an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement, substantially in the form of ALTA
Form
6.1 or 6.2, or such other generally used and acceptable form of policy
and
applicable endorsements acceptable under the Seller’s underwriting guidelines.
Each such policy affirmatively insures the Seller, its successors and assigns
as
to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount
of
the Mortgage Loan. Additionally, such policy insures ingress and egress
and
insures against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property. Each such
policy was issued on the date of the origination of such Mortgage Loan
by a
title insurer acceptable under Seller’s underwriting guidelines and qualified to
do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located,
insuring the Seller, and its successors and assigns, as to the first priority
lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of such Mortgage
Loan.
Each such policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser or
the
assignment to the Purchaser of the Seller’s interest does not require the
consent of or notification to the insurer, and such mortgage title insurance
policy is in full force and effect. Where required by law or regulation,
the
Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required
mortgage title insurance. No claims have been made under such lender’s title
insurance policy, and the Seller has not taken or failed to take any action
that
would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy.
(r) All
buildings and other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured
against
loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant
to
insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section 2.10 of the
Servicing Agreement and issued by an insurer acceptable under Seller’s
underwriting guidelines. If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified
on a
flood hazard boundary map or flood insurance rate map issued by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and such flood
insurance is available, a flood insurance policy is in effect meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
with an insurance carrier acceptable to Seller. Each individual insurance
policy
has been validly issued and is in full force and effect. The Seller has
caused
to be performed all acts required to preserve the rights and interests
of the
Purchaser in all insurance policies required by this Agreement, including,
without limitation, notification of insurers, and assignment of policies
or
interests therein. Each individual insurance policy contains a standard
mortgagee clause naming the Seller, and its successors and assigns, as
mortgagee
and loss payee. All premiums due thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates
the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and
expense, and upon the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the servicer or
the owner of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the
Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor. No claims have been made under such policies since origination
of the
Mortgage Loan, and the Seller has not taken or failed to take any action
that
would impair the coverage of any such insurance policy, the benefits of
any
endorsement or the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the
foregoing.
(s) There
is
no valid offset, defense, counterclaim, or right of rescission as to the
related
Mortgage Note or Mortgage, including the obligation of the Mortgagor to
pay the
unpaid principal of or interest on such Mortgage Note. The operation of
any of
the terms of such Mortgage Note or Mortgage, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, shall not render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation,
the
defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, recoupment,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto. Such Mortgage
Loan is not subject to any pending bankruptcy, foreclosure, insolvency,
reorganization or moratorium. On the related Closing Date, the Seller has
not
received notice that the Mortgagor has filed for protection under applicable
bankruptcy laws. If
such
Mortgage Loan is an ARM Loan, all the applicable terms of the Mortgage
Note
pertaining to adjustments of the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly
Payments
and payment adjustments in connection therewith are enforceable and shall
not
affect the priority of the Mortgage lien. If such Mortgage Loan is an ARM
Loan,
the related Mortgage Note has been timely and appropriately adjusted, if
such
adjustment is required, and the respective Mortgagor timely and appropriately
advised. All such adjustments have been made in compliance with applicable
law
and in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents.
(t) Such
Mortgage Loan was originated by (i) the Seller, (ii) a savings and
loan association, savings bank, commercial bank, credit union, insurance
company
or similar institution that is supervised and examined by a Federal or
state
authority, or (iii) a
mortgagee
approved
by the Secretary of HUD
pursuant to Section 203 or 211 of the National Housing Act.
(u) Principal
payments on such Mortgage Loan commenced or are required to commence no
more
than two months after funds were disbursed in connection with such Mortgage
Loan. Unless such Mortgage Loan requires the payment of interest only with
respect to some or all of the related Monthly Payments as indicated on
the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgage Note requires a Monthly Payment
which is sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over
the
remaining term thereof and to pay interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan that requires the payment of interest only
with
respect to some or all of the related Monthly Payments as indicated on
the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the interest-only period shall not exceed
ten
(10) years (or such other period specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule)
and
following the expiration of such interest-only period, the remaining Monthly
Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance
over the remaining term thereof and to pay interest at the Mortgage Interest
Rate.
(v) Such
Mortgage Loan is a residential mortgage loan having an original term to
maturity
as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and if no such term
is
specified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, the term to maturity does
not
exceed forty years, with interest payable in arrears on the first day of
each
month, or such other day of the month as may be noted on the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule. If such Mortgage Loan is an ARM Loan, the Mortgage Interest
Rate
is subject to adjustment periodically on each Interest Rate Adjustment
Date to a
new Mortgage Interest Rate (rounded as provided in the related Mortgage
Note)
equal to the then current Index plus the Gross Margin as specified on the
related Mortgage Note, subject to the Initial Rate Cap (if applicable),
Maximum
Mortgage Interest Rate, the Minimum Mortgage Interest Rate, the Interest
Rate
Increase Maximum and the Interest Rate Decrease Maximum, in each case if
and to
the extent specified in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.
(w) The
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral, pledged
account
or other security, except the lien of the Mortgage.
(x) The
Mortgage and the Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for
the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security,
including (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by
trustee’s sale and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no
homestead, dower, curtesy or other exemption or right available to the
Mortgagor
or any other Person which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged
Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage. The
Mortgage or Mortgage Note contains a provision that is, to the extent not
prohibited by federal or state law, enforceable and that provides for the
acceleration of the payment of the Unpaid Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loan
in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without
the
prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder. The Mortgagor has not
notified the Seller and the Seller has no knowledge of any relief requested
or
allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
(y) If
the
Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable
law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently so serves
and
is named in such Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or shall become
payable
by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.
(z) The
Mortgaged Property consists of (x) a single parcel of real property
separately assessed for tax purposes, upon which is erected a detached
or an
attached one-to-four-family residence, an individual condominium or an
individual unit in a planned unit development or (y) in the case of a
Cooperative Loan, the related Coop Ownership Interests, in each case that
is in
compliance with Seller’s applicable requirements. Such Mortgaged Property is not
(i) a property held in trust (other than a revocable inter vivos trust
that is
in compliance with Xxxxxx Mae’s requirements applicable to Seller, or, if the
Mortgaged Property is located in Illinois, an Illinois land trust), (ii)
a
mobile home or manufactured home, or (iii) a recreational vehicle. Such
Mortgage
Loan is not considered an agricultural loan. The related Mortgaged Property
does
not consist of a log home, earthen home, underground home or a home which
is
situated on more than twenty acres of property. No portion of the related
Mortgaged Property is being used for commercial purposes. No Mortgaged
Property
is used for commercial purposes. Mortgaged Properties which contain a home
office shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as
long as
the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial purposes and
is not
storing any chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used for
homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes.
(aa) The
Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan at the time of origination was
not
greater than the Loan-to-Value ratio set forth in the related Mortgage
Loan
Schedule, and if no such percentage is specified, not greater than 95%.
If such
Mortgage Loan had at the time of origination a Loan-to-Value Ratio in excess
of
80%, unless otherwise specified in the related Commitment Letter, such
Mortgage
Loan is and will be subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy as described
in the Seller’s underwriting guidelines. All provisions of such Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is
in full
force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. No Mortgage
Loan requires payment of such premiums, in whole or in part, by the Purchaser.
No action has been taken and no event has occurred that has, or shall result
in
the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage. Any Mortgage Loan
subject
to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor to maintain
the
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and to pay all related premiums and charges.
The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium. None of the Mortgage
Loans
are covered by a “lender-paid” Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy.
(bb) Such
Mortgage Loan was underwritten generally
in
accordance with the underwriting guidelines of the Seller in effect at
the time
such Mortgage Loan was originated. The Mortgage and Mortgage Note are on
forms
acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac.
(cc) There
exist no deficiencies in excess of $1000 with respect to escrow deposits
and
payments, if such are required, for which customary arrangements for repayment
thereof have not been made or which the Seller expects not to be cured,
and no
escrow deposits or payments of other charges or payments due the Seller
have
been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note.
(dd) Such
Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation feature or other contingent
interest feature, and such Mortgage Loan does not involve buydowns, Balloon
Payments, timeshares or graduated payments. If such Mortgage Loan is an
ARM
Loan, it is not convertible to a Mortgage Loan with a fixed Mortgage Interest
Rate.
(ee) The
origination, servicing and collection practices used with respect to such
Mortgage Loan (including without limitation, the establishment, maintenance
and
servicing of the Escrow Accounts and escrow payments, if any), have been,
in all
material respects, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations,
the terms
of the Mortgage Loan documents and Acceptable Servicing Procedures. All
escrow
payments have been collected in all material respects in compliance with
applicable law, Acceptable Servicing Procedures and the provisions of the
Mortgage Loan documents. If such Mortgage Loan is the subject of an escrow,
escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable law and has been established
in
an amount sufficient to pay for every escrowed item that remains unpaid
and has
been assessed but is not yet due and payable, except as otherwise set forth
in
Section 3.1(cc). Any Escrow Account interest required to be paid pursuant
to
applicable law has been properly paid and credited.
(ff) The
appraisal with respect to the Mortgaged Property contained in the Credit
File
was (i) made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as in effect
on the
date such Mortgage Loan was originated, (ii) made in accordance with the
Seller’s underwriting guidelines and (iii) signed by a qualified appraiser, who
met the requirements of the Seller’s appraisal policies and procedures, who had
no interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan
made
on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by the
approval
or disapproval of such application and who otherwise meets the requirements
of
Seller.
(gg) No
Mortgage Loan is subject to the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act
of
1994. No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan (as such terms
are
defined in the Standard & Poors LEVELS® Glossary in effect on the Closing
Date, which is now Version 5.6c Revised, Appendix E and attached hereto
as
Exhibit E).
(hh) Unless
otherwise stated in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, if such Mortgage
Loan is
an ARM Loan, it does not have an interest rate step-down feature or similar
feature that would result in a downwards adjustment to the Mortgage Interest
Rate, the Gross Margin or the Index as a result of the related Mortgagor’s
payment method or payment history (e.g., no downwards adjustment in return
for
allowing the automatic withdrawal of funds from the related Mortgagor’s bank
account to make the Monthly Payments on such Mortgage Loan, or for making
payments when due on such Mortgage Loan).
(ii) No
misrepresentation or fraud has taken place on the part of the Seller, the
Mortgagor or any third party originator of such Mortgage Loan, or to the
Seller’s knowledge, any other Person, including without limitation, any
appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party involved in the
origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the application of any insurance
in
relation to such Mortgage Loan.
(jj) The
Mortgaged Property was lawfully occupied under applicable law and all
inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with
respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property (and, with respect
to
the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates
of
occupancy) were made or obtained from the appropriate authorities.
(kk) The
Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition existing as of
the
related Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property,
the
Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that can reasonably be expected to
cause the Mortgage Loan to be an unacceptable investment as of such Closing
Date.
(ll) To
the
Seller’s knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is in material compliance with all
applicable environmental laws pertaining to environmental hazards including,
without limitation, asbestos, and neither the Seller nor, to the Seller’s
knowledge, the related Mortgagor, has received any notice of any violation
or
potential violation of such law.
(mm) Such
Mortgage Loan was selected from among the outstanding mortgage loans of
the same
type in the Seller’s portfolio on the related Closing Date and such selection
was not made in a manner so as to affect adversely the interests of the
Purchaser.
(nn) Interest
on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting
of
twelve 30-day months.
(oo) If
such
Mortgage Loan is a Cooperative Loan, the security instruments create a
valid,
enforceable and subsisting first priority security interest in the related
cooperative shares securing the related cooperative note, subject only
to
(x) the lien of the related cooperative for unpaid assessments representing
the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of payments for a blanket mortgage, if any,
current and future real property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance
fees and
other assessments to which like collateral is commonly subject and (y)
other
matters to which like collateral is commonly subject and which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided; provided,
however, that the related proprietary lease for the Cooperative Apartment
may be
subordinated or otherwise subject to the lien of a mortgage on the cooperative
building.
(pp) If
such
Mortgage Loan is a Cooperative Loan, a search for filings of financing
statements has been made by a party competent to make the same, which party
is
acceptable to Seller in accordance with its underwriting guidelines and
is
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the cooperative unit
is
located; and such search did not disclose any lien or security interest
that
would materially and adversely affect the Cooperative Loan.
(qq) If
such
Mortgage Loan is a Cooperative Loan, the cooperative corporation that owns
title
to the related Cooperative Apartment is a “cooperative housing corporation”
within the meaning of Section 216 of the Code, and is in material compliance
with applicable laws that, if not complied with, could have a material
adverse
effect on the Mortgaged Property.
(rr) If
such
Mortgage Loan is a Cooperative Loan: (i) the term of the related
proprietary lease or occupancy agreement is longer than the term of the
Cooperative Loan, (ii) there is no provision in such proprietary lease or
occupancy agreement which requires the Mortgagor to offer for sale the
cooperative shares owned by such Mortgagor first to the Cooperative and
(iii) there is no prohibition against pledging the shares of the
cooperative corporation or assigning the cooperative lease.
(ss) No
Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit insurance product (e.g.,
life,
mortgage, disability, accident, unemployment or health insurance product)
or
debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of
credit.
(tt) The
Prepayment Charge with respect to such Mortgage Loan, if any, is permissible
and
enforceable in accordance with its terms under applicable law upon the
related
Mortgagor’s voluntary principal prepayment (except to the extent that: (1) the
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally; or
(2) the collectability thereof may be limited due to acceleration in connection
with a foreclosure or other involuntary prepayment). If the related Mortgage
Loan was originated before October 1, 2002, it does not have a Prepayment
Charge
for a term in excess of five years from the date of its origination and
if the
related Mortgage Loan was originated on or after October 1, 2002, it does
not
have a Prepayment Charge for a term in excess of three years from the date
of
its origination.
(uu) No
Mortgage Loan originated (or modified) on or after October 1, 2002 and
before
March 7, 2003, is secured by property located in the State of Georgia.
No
Mortgage Loan originated on or after March 7, 2003 is a “High Cost Home Loan” as
defined under the Georgia Fair Lending Act, as amended.
(vv) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after August 1, 2004, neither
the
related Mortgage nor the related Mortgage Note requires the Mortgagor to
submit
to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating in any
way to
the Mortgage Loan transaction.
(ww) No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (i) a construction or rehabilitation
of a Mortgaged Property or (ii) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of
a
Mortgaged Property, other than a construction-to-permanent loan which has
converted to a permanent Mortgage Loan.

Schedule;
v) No
Defenses.
The
Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or
the

No
error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller, or
the
Mortgagor, or to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, any appraiser, any builder,
or any developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the
Mortgage
Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage
Loan;
ix) Compliance
with Applicable Laws.
Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures,
consumer

abusive
lending laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with. All
inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with
respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect
to
the use and occupancy of the same, including, but not limited to, certificates
of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained
from
the appropriate authorities;
x) Location
and Type of Mortgaged Property.
The
Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule and consists of a contiguous parcel of real property with
a
detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family
dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or
an
individual unit in a planned unit development, or a townhouse, or a cooperative,
provided, however, that any condominium project or planned unit development
shall conform with the applicable Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements,
or the
Underwriting Guidelines, regarding such dwellings, and no residence or
dwelling
is a mobile home. As of the respective appraisal date for each Mortgaged
Property, any Mortgaged Property being used for commercial purposes conforms
to
the Underwriting Guidelines and, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, since
the date of such appraisal, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been
used
for commercial purposes outside of the Underwriting Guidelines;
xi) Valid
First Lien.
The
Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged
Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations
and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien
of the
Mortgage is subject only to:
the
lien
of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and
payable;
covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters
of the
public record as of the date of recording acceptable to mortgage lending
institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (i)
referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator
of
the Mortgage Loan and (ii) which do not adversely affect the Appraised
Value of
the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and
other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by
the
mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged
Property.
Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to
and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates
a valid,
subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest
on
the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and
assign
the same to the Purchaser.
With
respect to each Cooperative Loan, each Pledge Agreement creates a valid,
enforceable and subsisting first security interest in the Cooperative Shares
and
Proprietary Lease, subject only to (i) the lien of the related Cooperative
for
unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the
Cooperative’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real
property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments
to
which like collateral is commonly subject and (ii) other matters to which
like
collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Pledge Agreement;
provided, however, that the appurtenant Proprietary Lease may be subordinated
or
otherwise subject to the lien of any mortgage on the Project;
xii) Full
Disbursement of Proceeds.
The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, except for escrows
established or created due to seasonal weather conditions, and there is
no
requirement for future advances thereunder. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of
any
amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
xiii) Consolidation
of Future Advances.
Any
future advances made prior to the related Cut-off Date, have been consolidated
with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the
secured
principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single
repayment term reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The lien
of the
Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured
as
having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement
to the
policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac; the consolidated principal amount
does
not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan; the Seller
shall
not make future advances after the related Cut-off Date;
xiv) Ownership.
The
Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loans and
the
related Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not assigned or pledged, and
the
Seller has good and marketable title thereto and has full right and authority
to
transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Seller is transferring
the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all encumbrances, liens, pledges,
equities, participation interests, claims, charges or security interests
of any
nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan;
xv) Origination/Doing
Business.
The
Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association, a savings
bank,
a commercial bank, a credit union, an insurance company, or similar institution
that is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority or by a
mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant
to
Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act. All parties which have
had any
interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee
or
otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed of
such
interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing
requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is
located,
and (2) organized under the laws of such state, or (3) qualified to do
business
in such state, or (4) federal savings and loan associations or national
banks
having principal offices in such state, or (5) not doing business in such
state;
xvi) LTV,
PMI
Policy.
Each
Mortgage Loan has an LTV as specified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.
Except for Pledged Asset Mortgage Loans, if the LTV of the Mortgage Loan
was
greater than 80% at the time of origination, a portion of the unpaid principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan is and will be insured as to payment defaults
by a
PMI Policy. If the Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy for which the
Mortgagor pays all premiums, the coverage will remain in place until (i)
the LTV
decreases to 78% or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant
to the
Homeowners Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC §4901, et seq. All provisions of such
PMI Policy or LPMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy
is
in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid.
The
Qualified Insurer has a claims paying ability acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae
or
Xxxxxxx Mac. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy obligates
the Mortgagor or the Seller to maintain the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and
to pay
all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest
Rate for
the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is
net of
any such insurance premium;
xvii) Title
Insurance.
The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy (or
in the
case of any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in a
jurisdiction where such policies are generally not available, an opinion
of
counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of
title
insurance) or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable
to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx
Mae
or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the
Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and
assigns,
as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal
amount
of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses
(1),
(2) and (3) of subsection (xi) of this Section 6(b), and against any loss
by
reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from
the
provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest
Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy
includes no exceptions regarding ingress, egress or encroachments that
impact
the value or the marketability of the Mortgaged Property. The Seller is
the sole
insured of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title
insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in force and effect
upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
No
claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no
prior
holder of the Mortgage, including the Seller, has done, by act or omission,
anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance
policy;
xviii) No
Defaults.
There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither the Seller
nor
its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration;
xix) No
Mechanics' Liens.
There
are
no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work,
labor
or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give
rise to

liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage
which
are not insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph
(q) above;
xx) Location
of Improvements; No Encroachments.
Except
as
insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in subsection
(xvii)
above, all improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised
Value
of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located
on or
being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable
zoning
law or regulation;
xxi) Payment
Terms.
Except
with respect to the Interest Only Mortgage Loans, principal payments commenced
no more than 60 days after the funds were disbursed to the Mortgagor in
connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loans have an original
term to
maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest payable in arrears on
the
first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan on each
applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted
to equal
the sum of the Index plus the applicable Gross Margin, rounded up or down
to the
nearest multiple of 0.125% indicated by the Mortgage Note; provided that
the
Mortgage Interest Rate will not increase or decrease by more than the Periodic
Interest Rate Cap on any Adjustment Date, and will in no event exceed the
maximum Mortgage Interest Rate or be lower than the minimum Mortgage Interest
Rate listed on the related Mortgage Note for such Mortgage Loan. As to
each
adjustable rate Mortgage Loan that is not an Interest Only Mortgage Loan,
each
Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient, during the
period
prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize
the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over
the
then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related
Mortgage Interest Rate. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, if the
related
Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date or, with respect to
an
Interest Only Mortgage Loan, on an Adjustment Date following the related
interest only period, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized
over the remaining life of such Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains
terms
or provisions which would result in negative amortization;
xxii) Customary
Provisions.
The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as
a deed
of trust, by trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
There is
no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere
with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the
right
to foreclose the Mortgage;
xxiii) Occupancy
of the Mortgaged Property.
As
of the
date of origination, the Mortgaged Property was in good repair and was
lawfully
occupied under applicable law;
xxiv) No
Additional Collateral.
Except
in
the case of a Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan and as indicated on the related
Data
File, the Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral,
pledged account or other security except the lien of the corresponding
Mortgage
and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel
mortgage referred to in subsection (xi) above;
xxv) Deeds
of
Trust.
In
the
event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under
applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently
so
serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will
become
payable by the Mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;
xxvi) Acceptable
Investment.
The
Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect
to the
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's
credit
standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional
investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause
the
Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or
marketability of the Mortgage Loan;
xxvii) Transfer
of Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage,
upon the
insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information, is in
recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;
xxviii) Mortgaged
Property Undamaged.
The
Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement,
windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the
value
of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use
for which
the premises were intended;
xxix) Collection
Practices; Escrow Deposits.
The
origination, servicing and collection practices used with respect to the
Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
and
have been in all material respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow
deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of
the
Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which
customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow
Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal
law. No
escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the
Seller
have been capitalized under the Mortgage Note;
xxx) No
Condemnation.
There
is
no proceeding pending or to the best of the Seller’s knowledge threatened for
the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged
Property;

Appraisal.
The
Servicing File include an appraisal, with the exception of any Time$aver®
Mortgage Loan (which at the original origination were on form 1004 or form

with interior inspections), of the related Mortgaged Property. The appraisal
was
conducted by an appraiser who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the
Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof; and whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage
Loan, and the appraisal and the appraiser both satisfy the applicable
requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery,
and
Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all
as in
effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;
xxxii) Insurance.
The
Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is insured by an insurer
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac against loss by fire and such hazards
as
are covered under a standard extended coverage endorsement and such other
hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located
pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section
4.10 of
the Servicing Agreement, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser
of
(1) 100% of the insurable value, on a replacement cost basis, of the
improvements on the related Mortgaged Property, or (2) the greater of (x)
the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or (y) an amount such
that
the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient to avoid the application
to
the Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance clause under the policy.
If the
Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage
afforded by a blanket policy for the project. If the improvements on the
Mortgaged Property are in an area identified in the Federal Register by
the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, a
flood
insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of
the
Federal Insurance Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable
insurance carrier, in an amount representing coverage not less than the
least of
(a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (b) the full
insurable value and (c) the maximum amount of insurance which was available
under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. All individual
insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller
and its
successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been
paid.
The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain a hazard insurance
policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure
to do
so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance
at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor
from
the Mortgagor. The hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation
of the insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force
and
effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation
of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller has not acted or
failed
to act so as to impair the coverage of any such insurance policy or the
validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof;
xxxiii) Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act.
The
Mortgagor has not notified the Seller, and the Seller has no knowledge
of any
relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil
Relief Act, as amended;
xxxiv) No
Balloon Payments, Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests.
The
Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage
Loan
does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.
No
Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature;
xxxv) No
Construction Loans.
No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (1) the construction or rehabilitation
of a Mortgage Property or (2) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of
a
Mortgaged Property other than a construction-to-permanent loan which has
converted to a permanent Mortgage Loan;
xxxvi) Underwriting.
Each
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines
of
the Seller; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable
to
Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Xxx;
xxxvii) Buydown
Mortgage Loans.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan that is a Buydown Mortgage Loan:
On
or
before the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Seller and the
Mortgagor, or the Seller, the Mortgagor and the seller of the Mortgaged
Property
or a third party entered into a Buydown Agreement. The Buydown Agreement
provides that the seller of the Mortgaged Property (or third party) shall
deliver to the Seller temporary Buydown Funds in an amount equal to the
aggregate undiscounted amount of payments that, when added to the amount
the
Mortgagor on such Mortgage Loan is obligated to pay on each Due Date in
accordance with the terms of the Buydown Agreement, is equal to the full
scheduled Monthly Payment due on such Mortgage Loan. The temporary Buydown
Funds
enable the Mortgagor to qualify for the Buydown Mortgage Loan. The effective
interest rate of a Buydown Mortgage Loan if less than the interest rate
set
forth in the related Mortgage Note will increase within the Buydown Period
as
provided in the related Buydown Agreement so that the effective interest
rate
will be equal to the interest rate as set forth in the related Mortgage
Note.
The Buydown Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements of the Underwriting
Guidelines;
The
Mortgage and Mortgage Note reflect the permanent payment terms rather than
the
payment terms of the Buydown Agreement. The Buydown Agreement provides
for the
payment by the Mortgagor of the full amount of the Monthly Payment on any
Due
Date that the Buydown Funds are available. The Buydown Funds were not used
to
reduce the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or to increase
the
Appraised Value of the Mortgage Property when calculating the Loan-to-Value
Ratios for purposes of the Agreement and, if the Buydown Funds were provided
by
the Seller and if required under Underwriting Guidelines, the terms of
the
Buydown Agreement were disclosed to the appraiser of the Mortgaged
Property;
The
Buydown Funds may not be refunded to the Mortgagor unless the Mortgagor
makes a
principal payment for the outstanding balance of the Mortgage Loan;

Buydown
Agreement complied with the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac regarding
buydown agreements;

of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to mortgage

Value of
the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and (3) other matters
to
which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere
with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the mortgage
or the
use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property.
Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to
and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates
a valid,
subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest
on
the property described therein and the Company has full right to sell and

the
consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien
priority
by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the
mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; the consolidated principal amount does not exceed
the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan; the Company shall not make
future advances after the Cut-off Date;

in such state, or (4) federal savings and loan associations or national
banks
having principal offices in such state, or (5) not doing business in such
state;
xvii) LTV,
PMI
Policy.
Each
Mortgage Loan has an LTV as specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. Except
for
Pledged Asset Mortgage Loans, if the LTV of the Mortgage Loan was greater
than
80% at the time of origination, a portion of the unpaid principal balance
of the
Mortgage Loan is and will be insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy.
If
the Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy for which the Mortgagor pays
all
premiums, the coverage will remain in place until (i) the LTV decreases
to 78%
or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant to the Homeowners
Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC §4901, et seq. All provisions of such PMI Policy
or LPMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in
full
force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. The Qualified
Insurer has a claims paying ability acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac. Any
Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor
or
the Company to maintain the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and to pay all premiums
and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the
Mortgage
Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance
premium;
xviii) Title
Insurance.
The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy (or
in the
case of any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in a
jurisdiction where such policies are generally not available, an opinion
of
counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of
title
insurance) or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable
to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx
Mae
or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the
Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Company, its successors and
assigns,
as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal
amount
of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses
(1),
(2) and (3) of Paragraph (k) of this Section 3.02, and against any loss
by
reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from
the
provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest
Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy
includes no exceptions regarding ingress, egress or encroachments that
impact
the value or the marketability of the Mortgaged Property. The Company is
the
sole insured of such lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's
title
insurance policy is in full force and effect and will be in force and effect
upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
No
claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and no
prior
holder of the Mortgage, including the Company, has done, by act or omission,
anything which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance
policy;
xix) No
Defaults.
There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time
or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither the Company
nor
its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration;
xx) No
Mechanics' Liens.
There
are
no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work,
labor
or material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give
rise to
such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage
which
are not insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph
(xvii) above;
xxi) Location
of Improvements; No Encroachments.
Except
as
insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph (xvii)
above, all improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised
Value
of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located
on or
being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable
zoning
law or regulation;
xxii) Payment
Terms.
xxiii) Except
with respect to the Interest Only Mortgage Loans, principal payments commenced
no more than 60 days after the funds were disbursed to the Mortgagor in
connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loans have an original
term to
maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest payable in arrears on
the
first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan on each
applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted
to equal
the sum of the Index plus the applicable Gross Margin, rounded up or down
to the
nearest multiple of 0.125% indicated by the Mortgage Note; provided that
the
Mortgage Interest Rate will not increase or decrease by more than the Periodic
Interest Rate Cap on any Adjustment Date, and will in no event exceed the
maximum Mortgage Interest Rate or be lower than the minimum Mortgage Interest
Rate listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule for such Mortgage Loan. As to
each
adjustable rate Mortgage Loan that is not an Interest Only Mortgage Loan,
each
Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient, during the
period
prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize
the outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over
the
then remaining term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related
Mortgage Interest Rate. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, if the
related
Mortgage Interest Rate changes on an Adjustment Date or, with respect to
an
Interest Only Mortgage Loan, on an Adjustment Date following the related
interest only period, the then outstanding principal balance will be reamortized
over the remaining life of such Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains
terms
or provisions which would result in negative amortization;
xxiv) Customary
Provisions.
The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as
a deed
of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure.
There
is no homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's
sale or
the right to foreclose the Mortgage;
xxv) Occupancy
of the Mortgaged Property.
As
of the
date of origination, the Mortgaged Property was in good repair and was
lawfully
occupied under applicable law;
xxvi) No
Additional Collateral.
Except
in
the case of a Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan and as indicated on the related
Data
File, the Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral,
pledged account or other security except the lien of the corresponding
Mortgage
and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel
mortgage referred to in Paragraph (k) above;
xxvii) Deeds
of
Trust.
In
the
event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under
applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently
so
serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will
become
payable by the Mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;
xxviii) Acceptable
Investment.
The
Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect
to the
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's
credit
standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional
investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause
the
Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or
marketability of the Mortgage Loan;
xxix) Transfer
of Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage,
upon the
insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information, is in
recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;
xxx) Mortgaged
Property Undamaged.
The
Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement,
windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the
value
of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use
for which
the premises were intended;
xxxi) Collection
Practices; Escrow Deposits.
The
origination, servicing and collection practices used with respect to the
Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
and
have been in all material respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow
deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of
the
Company and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which
customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow
Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal
law. No
escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the
Company
have been capitalized under the Mortgage Note;
xxxii) No
Condemnation.
There
is
no proceeding pending or to the best of the Company’s knowledge threatened for
the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged
Property;
xxxiii) The
Appraisal.
The
Mortgage Loan Documents include an appraisal, with the exception of any
Time$aver® Mortgage Loan (which at the original origination were on form 1004 or
form 2055 with interior inspections), of the related Mortgaged Property.
The
appraisal was conducted by an appraiser who had no interest, direct or
indirect,
in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof;
and whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage
Loan, and the appraisal and the appraiser both satisfy the applicable
requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery,
and
Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all
as in
effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;
xxxiv) Insurance.
The
Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is insured by an insurer
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac against loss by fire and such hazards
as
are covered under a standard extended coverage endorsement and such other
hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located
pursuant to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section
4.10,
in an amount which is not less than the lesser of 100% of the insurable
value of
the Mortgaged Property and the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan, but in no event less than the minimum amount necessary to fully compensate
for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis. If the Mortgaged Property
is
a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket
policy for the project. If the improvements on the Mortgaged Property are
in an
area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as having special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting
the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount
representing coverage not less than the least of (A) the outstanding principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the full insurable value and (C) the
maximum
amount of insurance which was available under the Flood Disaster Protection
Act
of 1973, as amended. All individual insurance policies contain a standard
mortgagee clause naming the Company and its successors and assigns as mortgagee,
and all premiums thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to maintain a hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost
and
expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder
of the
Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost
and
expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. The hazard
insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is
in full
force and effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the
benefit
of the Purchaser upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this
Agreement. The Company has not acted or failed to act so as to impair the
coverage of any such insurance policy or the validity, binding effect and
enforceability thereof;
xxxv) Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act.
The
Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge
of any
relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil
Relief Act, as amended;
xxxvi) No
Balloon Payments, Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests.
The
Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage
Loan
does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature.
No
Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment feature;
xxxvii) No
Construction Loans.
No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (i) the construction or rehabilitation
of a Mortgage Property or (ii) facilitating the trade-in or exchange of
a
Mortgaged Property other than a construction-to-permanent loan which has
converted to a permanent Mortgage Loan;
xxxviii) Underwriting.
Each
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the underwriting guidelines
of
the Company; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable
to
Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Xxx;
xxxix) Buydown
Mortgage Loans.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan that is a Buydown Mortgage Loan: (i) On or
before
the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Company and the Mortgagor,
or
the Company, the Mortgagor and the seller of the Mortgaged Property or
a third
party entered into a Buydown Agreement. The Buydown Agreement provides
that the
seller of the Mortgaged Property (or third party) shall deliver to the
Company
temporary Buydown Funds in an amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted
amount
of payments that, when added to the amount the Mortgagor on such Mortgage
Loan
is obligated to pay on each Due Date in accordance with the terms of the
Buydown
Agreement, is equal to the full scheduled Monthly Payment due on such Mortgage
Loan. The temporary Buydown Funds enable the Mortgagor to qualify for the
Buydown Mortgage Loan. The effective interest rate of a Buydown Mortgage
Loan if
less than the interest rate set forth in the related Mortgage Note will
increase
within the Buydown Period as provided in the related Buydown Agreement
so that
the effective interest rate will be equal to the interest rate as set forth
in
the related Mortgage Note. The Buydown Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements
of Xxxxxx Mae guidelines; (ii) The Mortgage and Mortgage Note reflect the
permanent payment terms rather than the payment terms of the Buydown Agreement.
The Buydown Agreement provides for the payment by the Mortgagor of the
full
amount of the Monthly Payment on any Due Date that the Buydown Funds are
available. The Buydown Funds were not used to reduce the original principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan or to increase the Appraised Value of the
Mortgage
Property when calculating the Loan-to-Value Ratios for purposes of the
Agreement
and, if the Buydown Funds were provided by the Company and if required
under
Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac guidelines, the terms of the Buydown Agreement
were
disclosed to the appraiser of the Mortgaged Property; (iii) The Buydown
Funds
may not be refunded to the Mortgagor unless the Mortgagor makes a principal
payment for the outstanding balance of the Mortgage Loan; and (iv) As of
the
date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the provisions of the related
Buydown
Agreement complied with the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac
regarding
buydown agreements;
xl) Cooperative
Loans.
With
respect to each Cooperative Loan: (i) The Cooperative Shares are held by
a
person as a tenant-stockholder in a Cooperative. Each original UCC financing
statement, continuation statement or other governmental filing or recordation
necessary to create or preserve the perfection and priority of the first
lien
and security interest in the Cooperative Loan and Proprietary Lease has
been
timely and properly made. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent
document related to the Cooperative Loan and delivered to Purchaser or
its
designee establishes in Purchaser a valid and subsisting perfected first
lien on
and security interest in the Mortgaged Property described therein, and
Purchaser
has full right to sell and assign the same; (ii) A Cooperative Lien Search
has
been made by a company competent to make the same which company is acceptable
to
Xxxxxx Mae and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the
Cooperative is located; (iii) (a) The term of the related Proprietary Lease
is
not less than the terms of the Cooperative Loan; (b) there is no provision
in
any Proprietary Lease which requires the Mortgagor to offer for sale the
Cooperative Shares owned by such Mortgagor first to the Cooperative; (c)
there
is no prohibition in any Proprietary Lease against pledging the Cooperative
Shares or assigning the Proprietary Lease; (d) the Cooperative has been
created
and exists in full compliance with the requirements for residential cooperatives
in the jurisdiction in which the Project is located and qualifies as a
cooperative housing corporation under Section 210 of the Code; (e) the
Recognition Agreement is on a form published by Aztech Document Services,
Inc.
or includes similar provisions; and (f) the Cooperative has good and marketable
title to the Project, and owns the Project either in fee simple; such title
is
free and clear of any adverse liens or encumbrances, except the lien of
any
blanket mortgage; (iv) The Company has the right under the terms of the
Mortgage
Note, Pledge Agreement and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance
charges
or assessments owed by the Mortgagor; and (v) Each Stock Power (i) has
all
signatures guaranteed or (ii) if all signatures are not guaranteed, then
such
Cooperative Shares will be transferred by the stock transfer agent of the
Cooperative if the Company undertakes to convert the ownership of the collateral
securing the related Cooperative Loan.
xli) HOEPA.

Mortgagor was a debtor in any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding as of the date the Mortgage Loan was closed and the proceeds

The
Mortgage or Mortgage Note contains an enforceable provision, to the extent
not
prohibited by federal law, for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the Mortgaged
Property
is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee
thereunder, provided that, with respect to Mortgage Notes which bear an
adjustable rate of interest, such provision shall not be enforceable if
the
Mortgagor causes to be submitted to the Company to evaluate the intended
transferee as if a new Mortgage Loan were being made to such transferee,
and the
Company reasonably determines that the security will not be impaired by
such
Mortgage Loan assumption and that the risk of breach of any covenant or
agreement in such Mortgage is acceptable to the Purchaser;
xlv) Credit
Reporting.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Company has furnished complete information
on
the related borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and Trans Union
Credit
Information Company, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and
its
implementing regulations;

by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest;
(d)
Original Terms Unmodified.
The
terms
of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered
or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument which has been
recorded
or registered with the MERS System, if necessary, to protect the interests
of the Purchaser and which has been delivered to the Custodian. The substance

Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(e)
No

The
Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or
defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will the
operation
of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise
of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
unenforceable,
in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off,

with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Company,
or
the

builder,
or any developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the
Mortgage
Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage
Loan;
(i)
Compliance with Applicable Laws.
Any
and
all requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without
limitation,
usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer
credit

lending
laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied with. All inspections,

all
occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use
and
occupancy
of the same, including, but not limited to, certificates of occupancy
and
fire
underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate
authorities;
(j)
Location and Type of Mortgaged Property.
The
Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule
and consists of a contiguous parcel of real property with a detached
single
family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or
an
individual
condominium unit in a condominium project, or an individual unit in a
planned
unit development or a townhouse, provided, however, that any condominium
project or planned unit development shall conform with the applicable
Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements, or the Underwriting Guidelines,
regarding such dwellings, and no residence or dwelling is a mobile home.
As
of the respective appraisal date for each Mortgaged Property, any Mortgaged
Property being used for commercial purposes conforms to the Underwriting
Guidelines and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, since the date
of
such appraisal, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for
commercial
purposes outside of the Underwriting Guidelines;
(k)
Valid
First Lien.
The
Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged
Property,
including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations
and
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems
located
in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations and replacements
made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage
is subject only to:
(1)
the
lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;
(2)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters
of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the lender's
title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan
and
(i) referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the
originator of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) which do not adversely affect
the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property set forth in such
appraisal;
and
(3)
other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially
interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
by the mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the
related Mortgaged Property. Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to
and
delivered
in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting
and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the
property
described therein and the Company has full right to sell and assign the
same
to
the Purchaser.
With
respect to each Cooperative Loan, each Pledge Agreement creates a valid,
enforceable
and subsisting first security interest in the Cooperative Shares and
Proprietary
Lease, subject only to (i) the lien of the related Cooperative for unpaid
assessments
representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the Cooperative’s payments
for its blanket mortgage, current and future real property taxes, insurance
premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments to which like collateral
is commonly subject and (ii) other matters to which like collateral is
commonly
subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by the Pledge Agreement; provided, however, that
the
appurtenant Proprietary Lease may be subordinated or otherwise subject
to
the
lien of any mortgage on the Project;
(l)
Full
Disbursement of Proceeds.
The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, except for escrows
established
or created due to seasonal weather conditions, and there is no
requirement
for future advances thereunder. All costs, fees and expenses incurred
in
making
or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage were paid,
and
the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due
under
the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(m)
Consolidation of Future Advances.
Any
future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date, have been consolidated
with
the
outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured
principal
amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment
term reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. The lien of the Mortgage
securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having
first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the
policy
insuring
the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable
to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; the consolidated principal amount does
not
exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan; the Company
shall
not
make future advances after the Cut-off Date;
(n)
Ownership.
The
Company is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loans and
the
related Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not assigned or pledged, and
the
Company
has good and marketable title thereto and has full right and authority
to
transfer
and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Company is transferring
the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all encumbrances, liens,
pledges,
equities, participation interests, claims, charges or security interests
of
any
nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan;
(o)
Origination/Doing Business.
The
Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association, a savings
bank,
a
commercial bank, a credit union, an insurance company, or similar institution
that is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority or by a
mortgagee
approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant
to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act. All parties which
have
had
any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee
or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held and disposed
of
such
interest, were) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing
requirements
of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and
(2)
organized under the laws of such state, or (3) qualified to do business
in
such
state, or (4) federal savings and loan associations or national banks having
principal
offices in such state, or (5) not doing business in such state;
(p)
LTV,
PMI Policy.
Each
Mortgage Loan has an LTV as specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
Except for Pledged Asset Mortgage Loans, if the LTV of the Mortgage
Loan was greater than 80% at the time of origination, a portion of
the
unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is and will be insured
as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. If the Mortgage Loan is insured
by a PMI Policy for which the Mortgagor pays all premiums, the coverage
will remain in place until (i) the LTV decreases to 78% or (ii) the
PMI
Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection
Act of 1998, 12 USC §4901, et seq. All provisions of such PMI
Policy or LPMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy
is
in full force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been
paid. The Qualified Insurer has a claims paying ability acceptable to
Xxxxxx
Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy or
LPMI
Policy obligates the Mortgagor or the Company to maintain the PMI
Policy or LPMI Policy and to pay all premiums and charges in connection
therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as
set
forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium;
(q)
Title
Insurance.
The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy (or
in
the
case
of any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction
where such policies are generally not available, an opinion of counsel
of
the
type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance)
or
other
generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx
or
Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac
and
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property
is
located,
insuring the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority
lien
of
the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject
only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of Paragraph
(k)
of
this Section 3.02, and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or
unenforceability
of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing
for adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally,
such lender’s title insurance policy includes no exceptions regarding
ingress, egress or encroachments that impact the value or the marketability
of the Mortgaged Property. The Company is the sole insured of such
lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy
is in
full
force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation
of the
transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such
lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the Mortgage,
including
the Company, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair
the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;
(r)
No
Defaults.
There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the
Mortgage
or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or
with
notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute
a
default,
breach, violation or event of acceleration, and neither the Company nor
its
predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration;
(s)
No
Mechanics' Liens.
There
are
no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work,
labor
or
material (and no rights are outstanding that under the law could give rise
to
such
liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens
prior
to,
or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage which are
not
insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph (q)
above;
(t)
Location of Improvements; No Encroachments.
Except
as
insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph (q)
above,
all improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value
of
the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction
lines of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on adjoining properties
encroach upon the Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being
part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning
law
or
regulation;
(u)
Payment Terms.
Except
with respect to the Interest Only Mortgage Loans, principal payments
commenced
no more than 60 days after the funds were disbursed to the Mortgagor
in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loans have an original
term to maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest payable in
arrears
on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan
on
each
applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest Rate will be adjusted
to
equal
the sum of the Index plus the applicable Gross Margin, rounded up or
down
to
the nearest multiple of 0.125% indicated by the Mortgage Note; provided
that
the
Mortgage Interest Rate will not increase or decrease by more than the
Periodic
Interest Rate Cap on any Adjustment Date, and will in no event exceed
the
maximum Mortgage Interest Rate or be lower than the minimum Mortgage
Interest
Rate listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule for such Mortgage Loan. As
to
each
adjustable rate Mortgage Loan that is not an Interest Only Mortgage Loan,
each
Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient, during the
period
prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest Rate, to fully amortize
the
outstanding principal balance as of the first day of such period over the
then
remaining
term of such Mortgage Note and to pay interest at the related Mortgage
Interest
Rate. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgage
Interest
Rate changes on an Adjustment Date or, with respect to an Interest Only
Mortgage
Loan, on an Adjustment Date following the related interest only period,
the
then
outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life
of
such
Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would
result in negative amortization;
(v)
Customary Provisions.
The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable
provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate
for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the
security
provided thereby, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage designated as
a
deed
of
trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There
is
no
homestead or other exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere
with
the
right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to
foreclose
the Mortgage;
(w)
Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property.
As
of the
date of origination, the Mortgaged Property was in good repair and was
lawfully
occupied under applicable law;
(x)
No
Additional Collateral.
Except
in
the case of a Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan and as indicated on the related
Data File, the Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral,
pledged account or other security except the lien of the corresponding
Mortgage
and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel
mortgage
referred to in Paragraph (k) above;
(y)
Deeds
of Trust.
In
the
event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee, duly qualified
under
applicable law to serve as such, has been properly designated and currently
so
serves
and is named in the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become
payable by the Mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
in
connection
with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(z)
Acceptable Investment.
The
Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect
to
the
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's
credit
standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional
investors
to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the
Mortgage
Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or marketability
of the Mortgage Loan;
(aa)
Transfer of Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage,
upon the insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information,
is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws
of
the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;
(bb)
Mortgaged Property Undamaged.
The
Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement,
windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely
the
value
of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use
for
which
the premises were intended;
(cc)
Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits.
The
origination, servicing and collection practices used with respect to the
Mortgage
Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, and have
been
in all material respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits
and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of the Company
and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which customary
arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All Escrow Payments
have been collected in full compliance with state and federal law. No
escrow
deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Company
have been capitalized under the Mortgage Note;
(dd)
No
Condemnation.
There
is
no proceeding pending or to the best of the Company’s knowledge threatened
for the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged Property;
(ee)
The
Appraisal.
The
Mortgage File include an appraisal, with the exception of any Time$aver®
Mortgage
Loan (which at the original origination were on form 1004 or form 2055
with
interior inspections), of the related Mortgaged Property. The appraisal
was
conducted by an appraiser who had no interest, direct or indirect, in the
Mortgaged
Property or in any loan made on the security thereof; and whose compensation
is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan,
and
the appraisal and the appraiser both satisfy the applicable requirements
of
Title
XI of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of
1989
and
the regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the
Mortgage
Loan was originated;
(ff)
Insurance.
The
Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is insured by an insurer
acceptable
to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac against loss by fire and such hazards as
are
covered under a standard extended coverage endorsement and such other
hazards
as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located
pursuant
to insurance policies conforming to the requirements of Section 4.10, in
an
amount
which is not less than the lesser of 100% of the insurable value of the
Mortgaged
Property and the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan,
but
in no
event less than the minimum amount necessary to fully compensate for
any
damage or loss on a replacement cost basis. If the Mortgaged Property is
a
condominium
unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy
for
the
project. If the improvements on the Mortgaged Property are in an area
identified
in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as
having
special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements
of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is
in
effect
with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing
coverage
not less than the least of (A) the outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage
Loan, (B) the full insurable value and (C) the maximum amount of insurance
which was available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,
as
amended. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee
clause
naming the Company and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all
premiums
thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder
to maintain a hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense,
and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
Mortgage
to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense,
and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. The hazard
insurance
policy is the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force
and
effect, and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of
the
Purchaser
upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
The Company has not acted or failed to act so as to impair the coverage
of any such insurance policy or the validity, binding effect and enforceability
thereof;
(gg)
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
The
Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no knowledge
of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act, as amended;
(hh)
No
Balloon Payments, Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests.
The
Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the Mortgage
Loan
does
not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature. No
Mortgage
Loan has a balloon payment feature;
(ii)
No
Construction Loans.
No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (i) the construction or rehabilitation
of a Mortgage Property or (ii) facilitating the trade-in or exchange
of
a
Mortgaged Property other than a construction-to-permanent loan which has
converted
to a permanent Mortgage Loan;
(jj)

Each
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines
of the Company; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable
to Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae;
(kk)
Buydown Mortgage Loans.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan that is a Buydown Mortgage Loan: (i)
On or
before the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan, the Company and
the
Mortgagor, or the Company, the Mortgagor and the seller of the Mortgaged
Property or a third party entered into a Buydown Agreement. The
Buydown Agreement provides that the seller of the Mortgaged Property
(or third party) shall deliver to the Company temporary Buydown Funds
in
an amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted amount of payments
that, when added to the amount the Mortgagor on such Mortgage
Loan is obligated to pay on each Due Date in accordance with the
terms
of the Buydown Agreement, is equal to the full scheduled Monthly
Payment due on such Mortgage Loan. The temporary Buydown Funds
enable the Mortgagor to qualify for the Buydown Mortgage Loan. The
effective interest rate of a Buydown Mortgage Loan if less than the interest
rate set forth in the related Mortgage Note will increase within the
Buydown
Period as provided in the related Buydown Agreement so that the
effective interest rate will be equal to the interest rate as set forth
in the
related
Mortgage Note. The Buydown Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements
of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac guidelines; (ii)
The
Mortgage and Mortgage Note reflect the permanent payment terms rather
than the payment terms of the Buydown Agreement. The Buydown Agreement
provides for the payment by the Mortgagor of the full amount of
the
Monthly Payment on any Due Date that the Buydown Funds are available.
The Buydown Funds were not used to reduce the original principal
balance of the Mortgage Loan or to increase the Appraised Value
of
the Mortgage Property when calculating the Loan-to-Value Ratios
for purposes of the Agreement and, if the Buydown Funds were provided
by the Company and if required under Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac
guidelines, the terms of the Buydown Agreement were disclosed to the
appraiser of the Mortgaged Property; (iii)
The
Buydown Funds may not be refunded to the Mortgagor unless the Mortgagor
makes a principal payment for the outstanding balance of the Mortgage
Loan; and (iv)

related
Buydown Agreement complied with the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae
or
Xxxxxxx Mac regarding buydown agreements;

provided that, with respect to Mortgage Notes which bear an adjustable
rate of interest, such provision shall not be enforceable if the Mortgagor
causes to be submitted to the Company to evaluate the intended transferee
as if a new Mortgage Loan were being made to such transferee, and the
Company
reasonably determines that the security will not be impaired by such
Mortgage
Loan assumption and that the risk of breach of any covenant or agreement
in such Mortgage is acceptable to the Purchaser;

detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to
four-family
dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium
project, or
an individual unit in a planned unit development, or a townhouse,
or a
Cooperative Apartment, provided, however, that any condominium
project or
planned unit development shall conform with the applicable Xxxxxx
Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac requirements, or the Underwriting Guidelines, regarding
such

Valid
First Lien.
The
Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien on
the
Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged
Property and
all installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating
and air
conditioning systems located in or annexed to such buildings,
and all
additions, alterations and replacements made at any time with

the foregoing. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only
to:
|
(1)
|
the
lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due
and
payable;
|
(2)
|
covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other
matters of
the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in
the
lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of
the
Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or otherwise considered in
the appraisal
made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan and (ii) which do
not
adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property
set forth
in such appraisal; and

|
other
matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do
not
materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended
to be
provided by the mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability
of
the related Mortgaged Property.
|
Any
security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related
to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and
creates a
valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority
security
interest on the property described therein and the Company has
full right
to sell and assign the same to the
Purchaser.
|
With
respect to each Cooperative Loan, each Pledge Agreement creates a valid,
enforceable and subsisting first security interest in the Cooperative Shares
and
Proprietary Lease, subject only to (i) the lien of the related Cooperative
for
unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the
Cooperative’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real
property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments
to
which like collateral is commonly subject and (ii) other matters to which
like
collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Pledge Agreement;
provided, however, that the appurtenant Proprietary Lease may be subordinated
or
otherwise subject to the lien of any mortgage on the Project;
(l)
Full
Disbursement of Proceeds.
The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, except
for
escrows established or created due to seasonal weather conditions,
and
there is no requirement for future advances thereunder. All costs,
fees
and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan
and the
recording of the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not
entitled to
any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note
or
Mortgage;
|
(m)
|
Consolidation
of Future Advances.
|
Any
future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date, have been consolidated
with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage,
and the
secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest
rate
and single repayment term reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
The
lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount
is
expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance
policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated
interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae
or Xxxxxxx
Mac; the consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan; the Company shall not
make future
advances after the Cut-off Date;
|
(n)
Ownership.
The
Company is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage
Loans and
the related Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not assigned or
pledged,
and the Company has good and marketable title thereto and has
full right
and authority to transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser.
The
Company is transferring the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any
and all
encumbrances, liens, pledges, equities, participation interests,
claims,
charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such
Mortgage
Loan;
|
(o)
Origination/Doing
Business.
The
Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association,
a savings
bank, a commercial bank, a credit union, an insurance company,
or similar
institution that is supervised and examined by a federal or state
authority or by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing
and Urban
Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National
Housing Act.
All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan,
whether as
mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the
period in
which they held and disposed of such interest, were) (1) in compliance
with any and all applicable licensing requirements of the laws
of the
state wherein the Mortgaged Property is located, and (2) organized
under
the laws of such state, or (3) qualified to do business in such
state, or
(4) federal savings and loan associations or national banks having
principal offices in such state, or (5) not doing business in
such
state;
|
(p)
LTV,
PMI Policy.
Each
Mortgage Loan has an LTV as specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. Except
for
Pledged Asset Mortgage Loans, if the LTV of the Mortgage Loan was greater
than
80% at the time of origination, a portion of the unpaid principal balance
of the
Mortgage Loan is and will be insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy.
If
the Mortgage Loan is insured by a PMI Policy for which the Mortgagor pays
all
premiums, the coverage will remain in place until (i) the LTV decreases
to 78%
or (ii) the PMI Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant to the Homeowners
Protection Act of 1998, 12 USC §4901, et seq. All provisions of such PMI Policy
or LPMI Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in
full
force and effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. The Qualified
Insurer has a claims paying ability acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac. Any
Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy obligates the Mortgagor
or
the Company, as applicable, to maintain the PMI Policy or LPMI Policy and
to pay
all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The Mortgage Interest
Rate for
the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of
any such
insurance premium;
(q)
Title
Insurance.
The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance
policy (or in
the case of any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property
located in a
jurisdiction where such policies are generally not available,
an opinion
of counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction
in lieu
of title insurance) or other generally acceptable form of policy
of
insurance acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by
a title
insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified
to do
business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is
located,
insuring the Company, its successors and assigns, as to the first
priority
lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the
Mortgage
Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1),
(2) and (3)
of Paragraph (k) of this Section 3.02, and against any loss by
reason of
the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from
the
provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment to the Mortgage
Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s title
insurance policy includes no exceptions regarding ingress, egress
or
encroachments that impact the value or the marketability of the
Mortgaged
Property. The Company is the sole insured of such lender's title
insurance
policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force
and
effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation
of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been
made
under such lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder
of the
Mortgage, including the Company, has done, by act or omission,
anything
which would impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance
policy;
|
(r)
No
Defaults.
There
is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing
under
the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the
passage of
time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period,
would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration,
and
neither the Company nor its predecessors have waived any default,
breach,
violation or event of acceleration;
|
(s)
No
Mechanics' Liens.
There
are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which have been
filed for
work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under
the law
could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged
Property
which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with,
the lien
of the related Mortgage which are not insured against by the
title
insurance policy referenced in Paragraph (q)
above;
|
(t)
Location
of Improvements; No Encroachments.
Except
as insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in
Paragraph
(q) above, all improvements which were considered in determining
the
Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the
boundaries
and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and
no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged
Property.
No improvement located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property
is in
violation of any applicable zoning law or
regulation;
|
(u)
|
Payment
Terms.
|
Except
with respect to the Interest Only Mortgage Loans, principal payments
commenced no more than 60 days after the funds were disbursed
to the
Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage
Loans have an
original term to maturity of not more than 30 years, with interest
payable
in arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable
rate
Mortgage Loan on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage
Interest
Rate will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index plus the
applicable
Gross Margin, rounded up or down to the nearest multiple of 0.125%
indicated by the Mortgage Note; provided that the Mortgage Interest
Rate
will not increase or decrease by more than the Periodic Interest
Rate Cap
on any Adjustment Date, and will in no event exceed the maximum
Mortgage
Interest Rate or be lower than the minimum Mortgage Interest
Rate listed
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule for such Mortgage Loan. As to each
adjustable rate Mortgage Loan that is not an Interest Only Mortgage
Loan,
each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment which is sufficient,
during
the period prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage Interest
Rate, to
fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of the first
day of
such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage Note
and to pay
interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. As to each adjustable
rate
Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgage Interest Rate changes
on an
Adjustment Date or, with respect to an Interest Only Mortgage
Loan, on an
Adjustment Date following the related interest only period, the
then
outstanding principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining
life
of such Mortgage Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions
which
would result in negative amortization;
|
(v)
Customary
Provisions.
The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable
provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof
adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of
the
benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in
the case of a
Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and
(ii)
otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other
exemption available to a Mortgagor which would interfere with
the right to
sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right
to foreclose
the Mortgage;
|
(w)
Occupancy
of the Mortgaged Property.
As
of the date of origination, the Mortgaged Property was in good
repair and
was lawfully occupied under applicable
law;
|
(x)
No
Additional Collateral.
Except
in the case of a Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan and as indicated
on the
related Data File, the Mortgage Note is not and has not been
secured by
any collateral, pledged account or other security except the
lien of the
corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable
security agreement or chattel mortgage referred to in Paragraph
(k)
above;
|
(y)
Deeds
of Trust.
In
the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust, a trustee,
duly
qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been properly
designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage,
and no
fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Mortgagee
to the
trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a
trustee's
sale after default by the
Mortgagor;
|
(z)
Acceptable
Investment.
The
Company has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with
respect
to the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or
the
Mortgagor's credit standing that can reasonably be expected to
cause
private institutional investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as
an
unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent,
or
adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage
Loan;
|
(aa)
Transfer
of Mortgage Loans.
If
the Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment
of Mortgage,
upon the insertion of the name of the assignee and recording
information,
is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the
laws of
the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is
located;
|
(bb)
Mortgaged
Property Undamaged.
The
Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or
earth
movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to
affect
adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for
the Mortgage
Loan or the use for which the premises were
intended;
|
(cc)
Collection
Practices; Escrow Deposits.
The
origination, servicing and collection practices used with respect
to the
Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices,
and have been in all material respects legal and proper. With
respect to
escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in
the
possession of the Company and there exist no deficiencies in
connection
therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof
have not
been made. All Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance
with
state and federal law. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments
or other
charges or payments due the Company have been capitalized under
the
Mortgage Note;
|
(dd)
No
Condemnation.
There
is no proceeding pending or to the best of the Company’s knowledge
threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the related
Mortgaged
Property;
|
(ee)
The
Appraisal.
The
Mortgage File include an appraisal, with the exception of any
Time$aver®
Mortgage Loan (which at the original origination were on form
1004 or form
2055 with interior inspections), of the related Mortgaged Property.
The
appraisal was conducted by an appraiser who had no interest,
direct or
indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the
security
thereof; and whose compensation is not affected by the approval
or
disapproval of the Mortgage Loan, and the appraisal and the appraiser
both
satisfy the applicable requirements of Title XI of the Financial
Institution Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and
the
regulations promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date
the
Mortgage Loan was originated;
|
(ff)
Insurance.
The
Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is insured by
an insurer
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac against loss by fire
and such
hazards as are covered under a standard extended coverage endorsement
and
such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property is located pursuant to insurance policies conforming
to the
requirements of Section 4.10, in an amount which is at least
equal to the
lesser of (i) 100% of the insurable value on a replacement cost
basis of
the improvements securing such Mortgaged Loan and (ii) the greater
of (a)
the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b)
an amount
such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent
the
Mortgagor or the loss payee from becoming a co-insurer. If the
Mortgaged
Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage
afforded
by a blanket policy for the project. If the improvements on the
Mortgaged
Property are in an area identified in the Federal Register by
the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards,
the Servicer
shall cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy meeting
the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration is in effect with a generally acceptable insurance
carrier,
in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of
(A) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the full
insurable value and (C) the maximum amount of insurance which was
available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as
amended. All
individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause
naming
the Company and its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and
all premiums
thereon have been paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor
thereunder to
maintain a hazard insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and
expense,
and on the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder
of the
Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's
cost
and expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
The
hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of
the
insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force
and effect
and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser upon the consummation
of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company has
not acted or
failed to act so as to impair the coverage of any such insurance
policy or
the validity, binding effect and enforceability
thereof;
|
(gg)
|
Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act.
|
The
Mortgagor has not notified the Company, and the Company has no
knowledge
of any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, as
amended;
|
(hh)
|
No
Balloon Payments, Graduated Payments or Contingent
Interests.
|
The
Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan and the
Mortgage
Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent
interest
feature. No Mortgage Loan has a balloon payment
feature;
|
(ii)
|
No
Construction Loans.
|
No
Mortgage Loan was made in connection with (i) the construction
or
rehabilitation of a Mortgage Property or (ii) facilitating the
trade-in or
exchange of a Mortgaged Property other than a construction-to-permanent
loan which has converted to a permanent Mortgage
Loan;
|
(jj)
|
Underwriting.
|
Each
Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting
Guidelines of the Company; and the Mortgage Note and Mortgage
are on forms
acceptable to Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx
Mae;
|
(kk)
|
Buydown
Mortgage Loans.
|
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan that is a Buydown Mortgage Loan:
(i)
|
On
or before the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan, the
Company and
the Mortgagor, or the Company, the Mortgagor and the seller
of the
Mortgaged Property or a third party entered into a Buydown
Agreement. The
Buydown Agreement provides that the seller of the Mortgaged
Property (or
third party) shall deliver to the Company temporary Buydown
Funds in an
amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted amount of payments
that, when
added to the amount the Mortgagor on such Mortgage Loan is
obligated to
pay on each Due Date in accordance with the terms of the Buydown
Agreement, is equal to the full scheduled Monthly Payment due
on such
Mortgage Loan. The temporary Buydown Funds enable the Mortgagor
to qualify
for the Buydown Mortgage Loan. The effective interest rate
of a Buydown
Mortgage Loan if less than the interest rate set forth in the
related
Mortgage Note will increase within the Buydown Period as provided
in the
related Buydown Agreement so that the effective interest rate
will be
equal to the interest rate as set forth in the related Mortgage
Note. The
Buydown Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements of Xxxxxx
Xxx or Xxxxxxx
Mac guidelines;
|
(ii)
|
The
Mortgage and Mortgage Note reflect the permanent payment terms
rather than
the payment terms of the Buydown Agreement. The Buydown Agreement
provides
for the payment by the Mortgagor of the full amount of the
Monthly Payment
on any Due Date that the Buydown Funds are available. The Buydown
Funds
were not used to reduce the original principal balance of the
Mortgage
Loan or to increase the Appraised Value of the Mortgage Property
when
calculating the Loan-to-Value Ratios for purposes of the Agreement
and, if
the Buydown Funds were provided by the Company and if required
under
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac guidelines, the terms of the Buydown
Agreement
were disclosed to the appraiser of the Mortgaged
Property;
|
(iii)
|
The
Buydown Funds may not be refunded to the Mortgagor unless the
Mortgagor
makes a principal payment for the outstanding balance of the
Mortgage
Loan; and
|
(iv)
|
As
of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the provisions
of the
related Buydown Agreement complied with the requirements of
Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac regarding buydown
agreements;
|
(ll)
|

|

in a
Cooperative. Each original UCC financing statement, continuation
statement
or other governmental filing or recordation necessary to create
or
preserve the perfection and priority of the first lien and
security
interest in the Cooperative Loan and Proprietary Lease has
been timely and
properly made. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent
document related to the Cooperative Loan and delivered to Purchaser
or its
designee establishes in Purchaser a valid and subsisting perfected
first
lien on and security interest in the Mortgaged Property described
therein,
and Purchaser has full right to sell and assign the
same;
|
(ii)
|

Shares
owned by such Mortgagor first to the Cooperative; (c) there
is no
prohibition in any Proprietary Lease against pledging the Cooperative
Shares or assigning the Proprietary Lease; (d) the Cooperative
has been

published by

|
(iv)
|
The
Company has the right under the terms of the Mortgage Note,
Pledge
Agreement and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance
charges or
assessments owed by the Mortgagor;
and
|
(v)
|
Each
Stock Power (i) has all signatures guaranteed or (ii) if all
signatures
are not guaranteed, then such Cooperative Shares will be transferred
by
the stock transfer agent of the Cooperative if the Company
undertakes to

thereunder, provided that, with respect to Mortgage Notes which bear an
adjustable rate of interest, such provision shall not be enforceable if
the
Mortgagor causes to be submitted to the Company to evaluate the intended
transferee as if a new Mortgage Loan were being made to such transferee,
and the
Company reasonably determines that the security will not be impaired by
such
Mortgage Loan assumption and that the risk of breach of any covenant or
agreement in such Mortgage is acceptable to the Purchaser;

__________________________,
being duly sworn, deposes, represents and warrants as follows:
1. I
am a
______________________ of ____________________________ (the “Owner”) a
corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of ______________,
the
record owner of Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2006-AR2, Class R Certificates, (the “Class R
Certificates”), on behalf of whom I make this affidavit and agreement.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings
assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to which
the
Class R Certificates were issued.
2. The
Owner
(i) is and will be a “Permitted Transferee” as of ____________, 20__ and (ii) is
acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own account or for the account
of
another Owner from which it has received an affidavit in substantially the
same
form as this affidavit. A “Permitted Transferee” is any person other than a
“disqualified organization” or a possession of the United States. For this
purpose, a “disqualified organization” means the United States, any state or
political subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are
subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation,
a
majority of whose board of directors is not selected by any such governmental
entity) or any foreign government, international organization or any agency
or
instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any rural electric
or telephone cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers'
cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal income tax unless such
organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable
income.
3. The
Owner
is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of the Class R
Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Internal Revenue Code
of
1986 that applies to all transfers of the Class R Certificates after March
31,
1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor or, if such transfer
is
through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for
a
non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable
for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee
furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is a Permitted
Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual
knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the Class R
Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of
proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code and that the transferor
of a “noneconomic residual interest” will remain liable for any taxes due with
respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose
of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
4. The
Owner
is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Class R
Certificates if, at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through
entity,
a non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity.
(For this purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment
company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership,
trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. The
Owner
is aware that the Trustee will not register the transfer of any Class R
Certificate unless the transferee, or the transferee's agent, delivers to
the
Trustee, among other things, an affidavit in substantially the same form
as this
affidavit. The Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such
transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained
in
such affidavit and agreement are false.
6. The
Owner
consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed
necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to
ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly,
by an Owner that is a Permitted Transferee.
7. The
Owner's taxpayer identification number is _________________.
8. The
Owner
has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Class R Certificates
and the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in particular, clauses
(iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) which authorize the Trustee to deliver
payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale
by the
Trustee in the event that the Owner holds such Certificate in violation of
Section 5.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and
to
comply with such restrictions and provisions.
9. The
Owner
is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class R Certificates in order
to
impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
10. The
Owner
anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Class R Certificates, have
sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Class R
Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person
from
whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that the Owner intends to pay taxes
associated with holding such Class R Certificates as they become due, fully
understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows
generated by the Class R Certificates.
11. The
Owner
has no present knowledge that it may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
proceeding for so long as it holds the Class R Certificates.
12. The
Owner
has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable to pay any
United
States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Certificates remain
outstanding.
13. The
Owner
is not acquiring the Class R Certificates with the intent to transfer the
Class
R Certificates to any person or entity that will not have sufficient assets
to
pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Class R Certificates, or that may
become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as the
Class
R Certificates remain outstanding.
14. The
Owner
will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class R Certificates,
obtain from its transferee the representations required by Section 5.02(d)
of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificate were
issued and will not consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts
that should lead it to believe, that any such representations are
false.
15. The
Owner
will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class R Certificates,
deliver to the Trustee an affidavit, which represents and warrants that it
is
not transferring the Class R Certificates to impede the assessment or collection
of any tax and that it has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee:
(i)
has insufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by such transferee as holder
of
the Class R Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy
proceeding for so long as the Class R Certificates remain outstanding; and
(iii)
is not a “Permitted Transferee”.
16. The
Owner
is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership
or
other entity created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States
or
any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or trust whose income from
sources without the United States may be included in gross income for United
States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the
conduct
of a trade or business within the United States.

10. The
Owner
is not transferring the Class R Certificates (the “Residual Certificates”) to
impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
11. The
Owner
has no actual knowledge that the Person that is the proposed transferee (the
“Purchaser”) of the Residual Certificates: (i) has insufficient assets to pay
any taxes owed by such proposed transferee as holder of the Residual
Certificates; (ii) may become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding
for so long as the Residual Certificates remain outstanding and (iii) is
not a
Permitted Transferee.
12. The
Owner
understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trustee a transfer affidavit
and agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
as
Exhibit F-2. The Owner does not know or believe that any representation
contained therein is false.
13. At
the
time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a reasonable investigation of the
financial condition of the Purchaser as contemplated by Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Owner
has
determined that the Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they became
due
and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will
not
continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Owner
understands that the transfer of a Residual Certificate may not be respected
for
United States income tax purposes (and the Owner may continue to be liable
for
United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Owner has conducted
such an investigation.
14. Capitalized
terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them
