ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
Section 1.01. Definitions.
Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases, unless the context
otherwise requires, shall have the meanings specified in this Article.
Accrued Certificate Interest: With respect to each Distribution Date and any
Class of Certificates, interest accrued during the related Interest Accrual Period at the
related Pass-Through Rate on the Certificate Principal Balance thereof immediately prior to
such Distribution Date (plus, in the case of the Class 5-A-1B Certificates, the Class 5-A-1A
Excess Interest Amount). Accrued Certificate Interest on each Class of Certificates will be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day months.
With respect to each Distribution Date, Accrued Certificate Interest on any Class of
Certificates will be reduced by the amount of:
(i) Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan
Group prepaid during the prior calendar month and, in the case of a Principal
Prepayment in Full, during the related Prepayment Period (to the extent not
offset by the Servicer with a payment of Compensating Interest),
(ii) the interest portion (adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate (or the Modified Net Mortgage
Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan)) of Realized Losses on the
Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group (including Excess Special Hazard
Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses and Extraordinary
Losses) not allocated solely to one or more specific Classes of Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.05,
(iii) the interest portion of Advances that were made with respect to delinquencies related
to Mortgage Loans or REO Property in the related Loan Group that were
ultimately determined to be Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses,
Excess Bankruptcy Losses or Extraordinary Losses, and
(iv) any other interest shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group not
covered by the subordination provided by the Class M Certificates and Class B
Certificates, including interest that is not collectible from the Mortgagor
pursuant to the Relief Act,
with the Senior Percentage of all such reductions with respect to the Mortgage Loans in a
Loan Group being allocated among the related Senior Certificates in proportion to the
amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest payable from the related Loan Group on such
Distribution Date absent such reductions, with the remainder of such reductions allocated
among the holders of the Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates on the basis of their
respective amounts of Accrued Certificate Interest that would have been payable on such
Distribution Date absent such reductions. In addition to that portion of the reductions
described in the preceding sentence that are allocated to any Class of Class B Certificates
or any Class of Class M Certificates, Accrued Certificate Interest on such Class of Class B
Certificates or such Class of Class M Certificates will be reduced by the interest portion
(adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate) of Realized Losses that are allocated solely to such
Class of Class B Certificates or such Class of Class M Certificates pursuant to
Section 4.05.
Adjustment Date: With respect to each Mortgage Loan, each date set forth in the
related Mortgage Note on which an adjustment to the interest rate on such Mortgage Loan
becomes effective.
Advance: As to any Mortgage Loan, any advance made by the Servicer, pursuant to
Section 4.04.
Affiliate: With respect to any Person, any other Person controlling, controlled by
or under common control with such first Person. For the purposes of this definition,
"control" means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or
indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise;
and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing.
Aggregate Subordinate Percentage: With respect to any Distribution Date, the percent
equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the Subordinate Certificates immediately prior to such Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of such Distribution Date.
Amount Held for Future Distribution: With respect to any Distribution Date and with
respect to each Loan Group, the total of the amounts held in the Custodial Account at the
close of business on the related Determination Date on account of (i) Liquidation Proceeds,
Subsequent Recoveries, Insurance Proceeds, Curtailments, Mortgage Loan purchases made
pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.04 or 4.07 and Mortgage Loan substitutions made pursuant to
Section 2.04 received or made in the month of such Distribution Date (other than such
Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and purchases of Mortgage
Loans that the Servicer has deemed to have been received in the preceding month in
accordance with Section 3.07(b)), and Principal Prepayments in Full received or made after
the related Prepayment Period, and (ii) payments which represent early receipt of scheduled
payments of principal and interest due on a date or dates subsequent to the related Due Date.
Appraised Value: As to any Mortgaged Property, the lesser of (i) the appraised value
of such Mortgaged Property based upon the appraisal made at the time of the origination of
the related Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the sales price of the Mortgaged Property at such time
of origination, except in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a refinanced or modified
Mortgage Loan as to which it is either the appraised value determined above or the appraised
value determined in an appraisal at the time of refinancing or modification, as the case may
be, provided that if permitted by the applicable underwriting standards of GMACM, the
Appraised Value shall be the value of the Mortgaged Property as stated by the Mortgagor.
Assignment: An assignment of the Mortgage, notice of transfer or equivalent
instrument, in recordable form, sufficient under the laws of the jurisdiction wherein the
related Mortgaged Property is located to reflect of record the sale of the Mortgage Loan to
the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders, which assignment, notice of transfer or
equivalent instrument may be in the form of one or more blanket assignments covering
Mortgages secured by Mortgaged Properties located in the same county, if permitted by law
and accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to that effect.
Assignment of Proprietary Lease: With respect to a Cooperative Loan, the assignment
of the related Cooperative Lease from the Mortgagor to the originator of the Cooperative
Loan.
Available Distribution Amount: With respect to any Distribution Date and each Loan
Group, an amount equal to (a) the sum of (i) the amount relating to the Mortgage Loans on
deposit in the Custodial Account as of the close of business on the immediately preceding
Determination Date, including any Subsequent Recoveries, and amounts deposited in the
Custodial Account in connection with the substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans, (ii) the amount of any Advance made on the immediately preceding Payment Account
Deposit Date, (iii) any amount deposited in the Payment Account on the related Payment
Account Deposit Date pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.12(a), (iv) any amount
deposited in the Payment Account pursuant to Section 4.07, and (v) any amount that the
Servicer is not permitted to withdraw from the Custodial Account pursuant to
Section 3.16(e), reduced by (b) the sum as of the close of business on the immediately
preceding Determination Date of (w) aggregate Foreclosure Profits, (x) the Amount Held for
Future Distribution and (y) amounts permitted to be withdrawn by the Servicer from the
Custodial Account in respect of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to clauses (ii)-(x), inclusive,
of Section 3.10(a). Such amount shall be determined separately for each Loan Group.
Additionally, if on any Distribution Date Compensating Interest provided pursuant to Section
3.16(e) is less than Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred on the Mortgage Loans in
connection with Principal Prepayments in Full received during the related Prepayment Period
and Curtailments made in the prior calendar month, such Compensating Interest shall be
allocated on such Distribution Date to the Available Distribution Amount for each Loan
Group on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective amounts of such Prepayment
Interest Shortfalls incurred on the Mortgage Loans in such Loan Group in respect of such
Distribution Date.
Bankruptcy Amount: As of any date of determination prior to the first anniversary of
the Cut-off Date, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) $100,000 over (B) the

ARTICLE II
CONVEYANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS;
ORIGINAL ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Company, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby assign
to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders without recourse all the right,
title and interest of the Company in and to the Mortgage Loans, including all interest and
principal received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (other
than payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off
Date).
The Company, the Servicer and the Trustee agree that it is not intended that
any mortgage loan be included in the Trust Fund that is either (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, (ii) a "High-Cost Home 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 High Cost Home Loan Law Act effective January 1, 2005.
(b) In connection with such assignment, and contemporaneously with the delivery of this
Agreement, the Company does hereby deliver to, and deposit with, the Trustee, or to and with
one or more Custodians, as the duly appointed agent or agents of the Trustee for such
purpose, the original Mortgage Note, with respect to each Mortgage Loan so assigned,
endorsed without recourse in blank, or in the name of the Trustee as trustee, and signed by
an authorized officer (which endorsement shall contain either an original signature or a
facsimile signature of an authorized officer of GMACM, and if in the form of an allonge, the
allonge shall be stapled to the Mortgage Note), with all intervening endorsements showing a
complete chain of title from the originator to GMACM. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by
the endorser in a merger, the endorsement must be by "____________, successor by merger to
[name of predecessor]". If the Mortgage Loan was acquired or originated by the endorser
while doing business under another name, the endorsement must be by "____________ formerly
known as [previous name]."
In lieu of delivering the Mortgage Note relating to any Mortgage Loan, the Company may
deliver or cause to be delivered a lost note affidavit from the Seller stating that the
original Mortgage Note was lost, misplaced or destroyed, and, if available, a copy of each
original Mortgage Note; provided, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have
been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Company, in
lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Custodian, if any, or the Trustee, a certification to such effect and shall deposit all
amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loan in the Payment Account on the Closing Date.
(c) All other documents contained in the Mortgage File and any original documents
relating to the Mortgage Loans not contained in the Mortgage File or delivered to the
Custodian, if any, or the Trustee are and shall be held by the Servicer in trust as agent
for the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders.
In the event that in connection with any Mortgage Loan: (a) the original recorded
Mortgage (or evidence of submission to the recording office), (b) all interim recorded
assignments, (c) the original recorded modification agreement, if required, or (d) evidence
of title insurance (together with all riders thereto, if any) satisfying the requirements of
clause (I)(ii), (iv), (vi) or (vii) of the definition of Mortgage File, respectively, have
not been delivered to the Servicer concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof
because such document or documents have not been returned from the applicable public
recording office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment or modification agreement,
because the related Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, in
the case of clause (I)(ii), (iv) or (vi) of the definition of Mortgage File, or because the
evidence of title insurance has not been delivered to the Seller by the title insurer in the
case of clause (I)(vii) of the definition of Mortgage File, the Servicer shall use its
reasonable best efforts to obtain, (A) in the case of clause (I)(ii), (iv) or (vi) of the
definition of Mortgage File, such original Mortgage, such interim assignment, or such
modification agreement, with evidence of recording indicated thereon upon receipt thereof
from the public recording office, or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the
relevant recording office, or (B) in the case of clause (I)(vii) of the definition of
Mortgage File, evidence of title insurance.
(d) If any of the documents held by the Servicer pursuant to clause (c) above are missing
or defective in any other respect and such missing document or defect materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the
Servicer shall request that GMACM either (i) cure such defect in all material respects,
(ii) substitute for such Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which
substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 2.04, or (iii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price
within 90 days after the date on which GMACM was notified of such defect; provided that if
such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure, substitution or repurchase must occur
within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. If GMACM fails to comply with such
request by the Servicer, the Servicer shall notify the Trustee of such missing document or
material defect and the Trustee shall notify GMACM of its obligation to comply with clause
(i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence. It is understood and agreed that the
obligation of GMACM to cure a material defect in, or substitute for, or purchase any
Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in or omission of a constituent document exists,
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such material defect or omission available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The Purchase Price for
the purchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited or caused to be deposited upon receipt by the
Trustee in the Payment Account, or upon receipt by the Servicer in the Custodial Account.
Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing
Officer, and upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Servicer, the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee, shall (i) release or cause to be released to GMACM the related
Mortgage Note, and (ii) cause the Servicer to release to GMACM any remaining documents in
the related Mortgage File which are held by the Servicer. The Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as GMACM
shall require as necessary to vest in GMACM ownership of any Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto and at such time the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to the
related Mortgage Note.
(e) The Servicer shall keep in its possession (a) from time to time additional original
documents evidencing an assumption or modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other
documents required to be held by the Servicer.
Except as may otherwise expressly be provided herein, none of the Seller, the
Servicer or the Trustee shall assign, sell, dispose of or transfer any interest in the Trust
Fund or any portion thereof, or permit the Trust Fund or any portion thereof to be subject
to any lien, claim, mortgage, security interest, pledge or other encumbrance of, any other
Person.
The Servicer shall cause to be filed the UCC assignment and UCC financing statement
referred to in clause (II)(vii) and (x), respectively, of the definition of Mortgage File.
If any UCC assignment or amendment or UCC financing statement, as applicable, is lost or
returned unfiled to the Servicer because of any defect therein, the Servicer shall prepare a
substitute UCC assignment or amendment or UCC financing statement, as applicable, or cure
such defect, and cause such UCC assignment or amendment or UCC financing statement, as
applicable, to be filed in accordance with this paragraph. In connection with its servicing
of Cooperative Loans, the Servicer will use its reasonable best efforts to file timely
continuation statements with regard to each financing statement and assignment relating to
Cooperative Loans as to which the related Cooperative Apartment is located outside of the
State of New York.
In connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS(R)
System, the Servicer further agrees that it will cause, at the Servicer's own expense, as
soon as practicable after the Closing Date, the MERS(R)System to indicate that such Mortgage
Loans have been assigned to the Trustee in accordance with this Agreement for the benefit of
the Certificateholders by including (or deleting, in the case of Mortgage Loans which are
repurchased in accordance with this Agreement) in such computer files (a) the specific code
which identifies the Trustee as the assignee of such Mortgage Loan and (b) the series
specific code in the field "Pool Field" which identifies the series of Certificates issued
in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The Servicer agrees that it will not 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, and there is filed any financing statement or amendment thereof necessary to
comply with the New York Uniform Commercial Code or the Uniform Commercial Code of any
applicable jurisdiction.
(f) It is intended that the conveyance by the Company to the Trustee of the Mortgage
Loans as provided for in this Section 2.01 be construed as a sale by the Company to the
Trustee of the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Further, it is not
intended that such conveyance be deemed to be a grant of a security interest in the Mortgage
Loans by the Company to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of the Company.
However, if the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Company or of the Seller, or
if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the
Mortgage Loans, then it is intended that, (a) this Agreement be and hereby is a security
agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable
jurisdiction; (b) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 shall be deemed to be, and
hereby is, (1) a grant by the Company to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the
Company's right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the
following: (A) the Mortgage Loans, including (i) with respect to each Cooperative Loan, the
related Mortgage Note, Security Agreement, Assignment of Proprietary Lease, Cooperative
Stock Certificate and Cooperative Lease, (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan other than
a Cooperative Loan, the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, and (iii) any insurance policies
and all other documents in the related Mortgage File, (B) all amounts payable pursuant to
the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof, (C) all proceeds of the conversion,
voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts from time to time held or invested in the
Payment Account or the Custodial Account, whether in the form of cash, instruments,
securities or other property, (D) all accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper,
instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, goods, letters of credit, letter-of-credit
rights, oil, gas, and other minerals, and investment property consisting of, arising from or
relating to any of the foregoing, and (E) all proceeds of the foregoing, and (2) an
assignment by the Company to the Trustee of any security interest in any and all of the
Seller's right (including the power to convey title thereto), title and interest, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the property described in the foregoing clauses
(1)(A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) granted by the Seller to the Company pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement; (c) the possession by the Trustee, the Custodian or any other agent of the
Trustee of any of the foregoing property shall be deemed to be possession by the secured
party, or possession by a purchaser or a person holding for the benefit of such secured
party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Pennsylvania Uniform
Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction
(including, without limitation, Sections 9-313 and 9-314 thereof); and (d) 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, securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or persons holding for,
the Trustee (as applicable) for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law.
The Company and, at the Company's direction, GMACM and the Trustee shall, to the
extent consistent with this Agreement, take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to
ensure that, if this Agreement were determined to create a security interest in the Mortgage
Loans and the other property described above, such security interest would be determined to
be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee not less than 15 days
prior to any filing date and, the Trustee shall forward for filing, in accordance with the
Servicer's instructions, or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the
Company, all filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings
necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any jurisdiction to perfect the
Trustee's security interest in the Mortgage Loans, as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate
of the Company, including without limitation (x) continuation statements, and (y) such other
statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change of name of the Seller, the Company or the
Trustee (such preparation and filing shall be at the expense of the Trustee, if occasioned
by a change in the Trustee's name), (2) any change of type or jurisdiction of organization
of the Seller or the Company and (3) any transfer of any interest of the Seller or the
Company in any Mortgage Loan. The Company shall file or cause to be filed the original
filing necessary under the Uniform Commercial Code to perfect the Trustee's security
interest in the Mortgage Loans.
Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee.
The Trustee acknowledges that the Custodian, acting on behalf of the Trustee, has
received (subject to any exceptions noted in the custodian certification described below)
the Mortgage Notes and the Trustee declares that it holds or will hold the assets included
in the definition of "Trust Fund," in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present
and future Certificateholders.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, that pursuant to the
Custodial Agreement, the Custodian will review each Mortgage Note and will execute and
deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to GMACM, the Trustee and the Servicer a
custodian certification substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit M on or prior to
the Closing Date. Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, in conducting such review, the
Custodian is required to ascertain whether the Mortgage Notes have been executed and
received, and whether the Mortgage Notes relate, determined on the basis of the original
principal balance and loan number, to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Custodian nor the
Trustee shall be under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine,
enforceable or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been
recorded, or are in recordable form or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face.
If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Notes and preparing the certifications
referred to above, the Custodian finds any Mortgage Note to be missing or contains any
defect which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the
related Mortgage Loan, the Custodian is required pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, to
notify the Trustee, the Company and the Seller, and the Trustee shall request that GMACM
cure any such defect in all material respects within 90 days from the date on which GMACM
was notified of such defect, and if GMACM does not cure such defect in all material respects
during such period, the Trustee shall request on behalf of the Certificateholders that GMACM
either (i) substitute for such Mortgage Loan a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, which
substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 2.04, or (ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price
within 90 days after the date on which GMACM was notified of such defect; provided that if
such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure, substitution or repurchase must occur
within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered. It is understood and agreed that
the obligation of GMACM to cure a material defect in, or substitute for, or purchase any
Mortgage Loan as to which a material defect in, or omission of, a Mortgage Note exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such material defect or omission available to
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders. The Purchase Price for
the purchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited or caused to be deposited upon receipt by the
Trustee in the Payment Account, or upon receipt by the Servicer in the Custodial Account.
Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing
Officer, and upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Servicer, the Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee, shall (i) release or cause to be released to GMACM the related
Mortgage Note, and (ii) cause the Servicer to release to GMACM any remaining documents in
the related Mortgage File which are held by the Servicer. The Trustee shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty, as GMACM shall require as necessary to vest in GMACM ownership
of any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto and at such time the Trustee shall have no
further responsibility with respect to the related Mortgage Note.
Section 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Servicer.
The Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders that:
(i) The Servicer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws governing its creation and existence and is or will be in
compliance with the laws of each state in which any Mortgaged Property is
located to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of each Mortgage
Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Servicer and its performance and
compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not violate the Servicer's
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or constitute a material default (or an
event which, with notice or lapse of time, would constitute a material
default) under, or result in the material breach of, any material contract,
agreement or other instrument to which the Servicer is a party or which may be
applicable to the Servicer or any of its assets;
(iii) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee and
the Company, constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of the
Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and to general
principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law and to public policy as it relates to
indemnification and contribution under applicable securities laws;
(iv) The Servicer is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or
any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or
governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would
materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or
operations of the Servicer or its properties or might have consequences that
would materially adversely affect its performance hereunder;
(v) No litigation is pending or, to the best of the Servicer's knowledge, threatened
against the Servicer which would prohibit its entering into this Agreement or
performing its obligations under this Agreement;
(vi) The Servicer will comply in all material respects in the performance of this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each insurer under
each Required Insurance Policy;
(vii) No information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in writing or report
delivered to the Company, any Affiliate of the Company or the Trustee by the
Servicer will, to the knowledge of the Servicer, contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the information,
certificate, statement or report not misleading; and
(viii) The Servicer is a member of MERS in good standing, and will 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.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in this
Section 2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Notes to the Custodian, if
any, or the Trustee.
Section 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the Seller.
The Company hereby assigns to the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders all
of its right, title and interest in respect of the Purchase Agreement insofar as the
Purchase Agreement relates to the representations and warranties made by the Seller in
respect of the Mortgage Loans and any remedies provided thereunder for any breach of such
representations and warranties, such right, title and interest may be enforced by the
Servicer on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Upon the discovery by the
Company, the Servicer, the Trustee or any Custodian of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Purchase Agreement (which, for
purposes hereof, will be deemed to include any other cause giving rise to a repurchase
obligation under the Purchase Agreement) in respect of any Mortgage Loan which materially
and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the
party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties (any
Custodian being so obligated under a Custodial Agreement). The Servicer shall promptly
notify the Seller of such breach and request that the Seller either (i) cure such breach in
all material respects within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such breach or
(ii) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price and in the manner
set forth in Section 2.02; provided that in the case of a breach under the Purchase
Agreement, the Seller, shall have the option to substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans for such Mortgage Loan if such substitution occurs within two years following
the Closing Date; provided that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than
a "qualified mortgage" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure,
repurchase or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was
discovered. In the event that the Seller elects to substitute a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Seller
shall deliver to the Custodian with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, the original Mortgage Note endorsed as required by Section 2.01, and the Seller shall
deliver to the Servicer with respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage, an Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form if required pursuant to
Section 2.01, and such other documents and agreements as are required to be held by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 2.01. No substitution will be made in any calendar month after
the Determination Date for such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund
and will be retained by the Servicer and remitted by the Servicer to the Seller on the next
succeeding Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to the
Certificateholders will include the Monthly Payment due on a Deleted Mortgage Loan for such
month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to retain all amounts received in respect
of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage
Loan Schedule for the benefit of the Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans and the Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee.
Upon such substitution, the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to
the terms of this Agreement and the related Subservicing Agreement in all respects, and the
Seller shall be deemed to have made the representations and warranties with respect to the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan contained in the Purchase Agreement as of the date of
substitution.
In connection with the substitution of one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Servicer will determine the amount (if
any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
all such Deleted Mortgage Loans (in each case after application of the principal portion of
the Monthly Payments due in the month of substitution that are to be distributed to the
Certificateholders in the month of substitution). The Servicer shall deposit the amount of
such shortfall received from the Seller into the Custodial Account on the day of
substitution. Prior to the delivery of the Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Servicer
shall give notice in writing to the Trustee of any such shortfall, which notice shall be
accompanied by an Officer's Certificate stating that such Mortgage Loan is a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan and as to the calculation of any such shortfall and (subject to
Section 10.01(f)) by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution will not
cause (a) any federal tax to be imposed on the Trust Fund, including without limitation, any
federal tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code or (b) any
portion of either of the REMICs to fail to qualify as such at any time that any Certificate
is outstanding.
It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to cure such breach or
purchase (or to substitute for) such Mortgage Loan as to which a breach of its
representations and warranties has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf
of Certificateholders. In connection with the purchase of or substitution for any such
Mortgage Loan by the Seller, the Trustee shall assign, pursuant to an assignment delivered
to the Trustee by the Seller, to the Seller or its designee all of the right, title and
interest in respect of the Purchase Agreement applicable to such Mortgage Loan.
Section 2.05. Execution and Authentication of Certificates.
The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Mortgage Loans and the delivery
of the Mortgage Notes to the Custodian on its behalf, subject to any exceptions noted,
together with the assignment to it of all other assets included in the Trust Fund and/or the
applicable REMIC, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. Concurrently with such delivery
and in exchange therefor, the Trustee, pursuant to the written request of the Company
executed by an officer of the Company has executed and caused to be authenticated and
delivered to or upon the order of the Company the Certificates in authorized denominations
which evidence ownership of the entire Trust Fund.
Section 2.06. Purposes and Powers of the Trust Fund.
The purpose of the trust, as created hereunder, is to engage in the following
activities:
(a) to sell the Certificates to the Company in exchange for the Mortgage Loans;
(b) to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(c) to engage in those activities that are necessary, suitable or convenient to
accomplish the foregoing or are incidental thereto or connected therewith; and
(d) subject to compliance with this Agreement, to engage in such other activities as may
be required in connection with conservation of the Trust Fund and the making of
distributions to the Certificateholders.
The trust is hereby authorized to engage in the foregoing activities. The trust
shall not engage in any activity other than in connection with the foregoing or other than
as required or authorized by the terms of this Agreement while any Certificate is
outstanding without the consent of the Certificateholders evidencing a majority of the
aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01. Servicer to Act as Servicer.
(a) The Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the respective Mortgage Loans, shall follow such practices and
procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in its
general mortgage servicing activities, and shall have full power and authority, acting alone
or through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02, to do any and all things which it may
deem necessary or desirable in connection with such servicing and administration. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer in its own name or in the name of a
Subservicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the Servicer or the
Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or
of consent to assumption or modification in connection with a proposed conveyance, or of
assignment of any Mortgage and Mortgage Note in connection with the repurchase of a Mortgage
Loan and all other comparable instruments, or with respect to the modification or
re-recording of a Mortgage for the purpose of correcting the Mortgage, the subordination of
the lien of the Mortgage in favor of a public utility company or government agency or unit
with powers of eminent domain, the taking of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the
commencement, prosecution or completion of judicial or non-judicial foreclosure, the
conveyance of a Mortgaged Property to the related Insurer, the acquisition of any property
acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or the management, marketing and
conveyance of any property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with
respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Servicer
further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the Subservicer, when the Servicer or the
Subservicer, as the case may be, believes it appropriate in its best judgment to register
any Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)System, or cause the removal from the registration of any
Mortgage Loan on the MERS(R)System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and other
comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording of a Mortgage in the
name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its successors and assigns. Any
expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence shall
be borne by the Servicer in accordance with Section 3.16(c), with no right of reimbursement;
provided, that if, as a result of MERS discontinuing or becoming unable to continue
operations in connection with the MERS System, it becomes necessary to remove any Mortgage
Loan from registration on the MERS System and to arrange for the assignment of the related
Mortgages to the Trustee, then any related expenses shall be reimbursable to the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 3.07(a),
the Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would
both constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1001
of the Code and any proposed, temporary or final regulations promulgated thereunder (other
than in connection with a proposed conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is
treated as a Principal Prepayment in Full pursuant to Section 3.13(d) hereof) and cause any
REMIC formed under this Agreement to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code. Upon
request, the Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by the Servicer or any
Subservicer pursuant to such powers of attorney. In connection with servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer and any Affiliate of the Servicer (i) may
perform services such as appraisals and brokerage services that are not customarily provided
by servicers of mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation therefor in
accordance with Section 3.10 and (ii) may, at its own discretion and on behalf of the
Trustee, obtain credit information in the form of a "credit score" from a credit repository.
(b) All costs incurred by the Servicer or by Subservicers in effecting the timely payment
of taxes and assessments on the properties subject to the Mortgage Loans shall not, for the
purpose of calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the
amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loan so permit, and such costs shall be recoverable to the extent permitted by
Section 3.10(a)(ii).
(c) The Servicer may enter into one or more agreements in connection with the offering of
pass-through certificates evidencing interests in one or more of the Certificates providing
for the payment by the Servicer of amounts received by the Servicer as servicing
compensation hereunder and required to cover certain Prepayment Interest Shortfalls on the
Mortgage Loans, which payment obligation will thereafter be an obligation of the Servicer
hereunder.
Section 3.02. Subservicing Agreements Between Servicer and Subservicers; Enforcement of
Subservicers' and Seller's Obligations.
The Servicer may enter into Subservicing Agreements with Subservicers, for the
servicing and administration of all or some of the Mortgage Loans. Each Subservicer of a
Mortgage Loan shall be entitled to receive and retain, as provided in the related
Subservicing Agreement and in Section 3.07, the related Subservicing Fee from payments of
interest received on such Mortgage Loan after payment of all amounts required to be remitted
to the Servicer in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Any Subservicing Fee shall be paid by the
Servicer out of the Servicing Fee for the related Mortgage Loans. Unless the context
otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the
Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a
Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer.
Section 3.03. Successor Subservicers.
The Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any Subservicing Agreement that may exist
in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement and without any
limitation by virtue of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of termination
of any Subservicing Agreement by the Servicer or the Subservicer, the Servicer shall either
act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loan or enter into a Subservicing Agreement with a
successor Subservicer which will be bound by the terms of the related Subservicing Agreement.
Section 3.04. Liability of the Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement
relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer or a Subservicer or reference to
actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and
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 Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by
virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer or the Company and to the same extent and
under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans. The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any
agreement with a Subservicer or the Seller for indemnification of the Servicer and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between Subservicer and Trustee or
Certificateholders.
Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered into and any other transactions or
services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Subservicer in its capacity as such and
not as an originator shall be deemed to be between the Subservicer and the Servicer alone
and the Trustee and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall
have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Subservicer
in its capacity as such except as set forth in Section 3.06.
Section 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by Trustee.
(a) If the Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the servicer (including by reason
of an Event of Default), the Trustee, its designee or its successor shall thereupon assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that may
have been entered into. The Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee
shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced
the Servicer as a party to the Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if the
Subservicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party except that the Servicer
shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing
Agreement.
(b) The Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee but at the expense of the Servicer,
deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to each Subservicing
Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts collected
and held by it and otherwise use its reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of each Subservicing Agreement to the assuming party.
Section 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments; Deposits to Custodial Account.
(a) The 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
Insurance Policy, follow such collection procedures as it would employ in its good faith
business judgment and which are normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing
activities. Consistent with the foregoing, the Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any
late payment charge or any prepayment charge or penalty interest in connection with the
prepayment of a Mortgage Loan and (ii) extend the Due Date for payments due on a Mortgage
Note for a period not greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
first determine that any such waiver or extension will not impair the coverage of any
related Primary Insurance Policy or materially adversely affect the lien of the related
Mortgage. In the event of any such arrangement, the Servicer shall make timely advances on
the related Mortgage Loan during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such arrangements
unless otherwise agreed to by the Holders of the Classes of Certificates affected thereby;
provided, however, that no such extension shall be made if any such advance would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance. Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may also
waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict
compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if in the
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); provided, however, that the
Servicer may not modify materially or permit any Subservicer to modify any Mortgage Loan,
including without limitation any modification that would change the Mortgage Rate, forgive
the payment of any principal or interest (unless in connection with the liquidation of the
related Mortgage Loan or except in connection with prepayments to the extent that such
reamortization is not inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loan), or extend the final
maturity date of such Mortgage Loan, unless such Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the
judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable; and provided, further,
that no such modification shall reduce the interest rate on a Mortgage Loan below the
Servicing Fee Rate. In connection with any Curtailment of a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer, to
the extent not inconsistent with the terms of the Mortgage Note and local law and practice,
may permit the Mortgage Loan to be reamortized such that the Monthly Payment is recalculated
as an amount that will fully amortize the remaining Stated Principal Balance thereof by the
original Maturity Date based on the original Mortgage Rate; provided, that such
re-amortization shall not be permitted if it would constitute a reissuance of the Mortgage
Loan for federal income tax purposes, except if such reissuance is described in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.860G-2(b)(3). The Servicer shall not be required to institute or join
in litigation with respect to collection of any payment (whether under a Mortgage, Mortgage
Note or otherwise or against any public or governmental authority with respect to a taking
or condemnation) if it reasonably believes that enforcing the provision of the Mortgage or
other instrument pursuant to which such payment is required is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to
each Mortgage Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall
establish and maintain one or more Custodial Accounts held in trust, entitled "GMAC Mortgage
Corporation Custodial Account in trust for the benefit of the Holders of GMACM Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-AR2." Each Custodial Account shall be an Eligible
Account. The Custodial Account shall be maintained as a segregated account, separate and
apart from trust funds created for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series, and
the other accounts of the Servicer.
Within two Business Days of receipt, except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, the Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited the following payments and
collections remitted by subservicers or received by it in respect of the Mortgage Loans
subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on such
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date) and the following amounts required to be
deposited hereunder:
(i) All payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments made by
Mortgagors on the Mortgage Loans and the principal component of any
Subservicer Advance or of any REO Proceeds received in connection with an REO
Property for which an REO Disposition has occurred;
(ii) All payments on account of interest at the Net Mortgage Rate on the Mortgage Loans,
and the interest component of any Subservicer Advance or of any REO Proceeds
received in connection with an REO Property for which an REO Disposition has
occurred, minus the amount of any interest paid by a Mortgagor in connection
with a Principal Prepayment in Full for the calendar month in which such
Principal Prepayment is to be distributed pursuant to Section 4.02;
(iii) Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation Proceeds (net of any
related expenses of the Subservicer);
(iv) All proceeds of any Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.04 or 4.07
and all amounts required to be deposited in connection with the substitution
of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.04;
(v) Any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.07(c); and
(vi) All amounts transferred from the Payment Account to the Custodial Account in
accordance with Section 4.02(a)(iii).
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Custodial Account shall be exclusive, it being
understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments on
the Mortgage Loans which are not part of the Trust Fund (consisting of payments in respect
of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date) and
payments or collections in the nature of prepayment charges or late payment charges or
assumption fees may but need not be deposited by the Servicer in the Custodial Account. In
the event any amount not required to be deposited in the Custodial Account is so deposited,
the Servicer may at any time withdraw such amount from the Custodial Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer shall maintain records with respect to
all deposits made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the Custodial Account
shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders until withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.10.
With respect to Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, REO Proceeds and the
proceeds of the purchase of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to Sections 2.02, 2.04 and 4.07
received in any calendar month, the Servicer may elect to treat such amounts as included in
the Available Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date in the month of receipt, but is
not obligated to do so. If the Servicer so elects, such amounts will be deemed to have been
received (and any related Realized Loss shall be deemed to have occurred) on the last day of
the month prior to the receipt thereof.
(c) The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the institution
maintaining the Custodial Account to invest the funds in the Custodial Account attributable
to the Mortgage Loans in Permitted Investments which shall mature not later than the Payment
Account Deposit Date next following the date of such investment (with the exception of the
Amount Held for Future Distribution) and which shall not be sold or disposed of prior to
their maturities. All income and gain realized from any such investment shall be for the
benefit of the Servicer as additional servicing compensation and shall be subject to its
withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in respect of any
such investments attributable to the investment of amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans
shall be deposited in the Custodial Account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately
as realized without any right of reimbursement.
Section 3.08. Subservicing Accounts; Servicing Accounts.
(a) In those cases where a Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a
Subservicing Agreement, the Servicer shall cause the Subservicer, pursuant to the
Subservicing Agreement, to establish and maintain one or more Subservicing Accounts which
shall be an Eligible Account or, if such account is not an Eligible Account, shall be
acceptable to the Servicer and each Rating Agency. The Subservicer will be required thereby
to deposit into the Subservicing Account on a daily basis all proceeds of Mortgage Loans
received by the Subservicer, less its Subservicing Fees and unreimbursed advances and
expenses, to the extent permitted by the Subservicing Agreement. If the Subservicing
Account is not an Eligible Account, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received such
monies upon receipt thereof by the Subservicer. The Subservicer shall not be required to
deposit in the Subservicing Account payments or collections in the nature of prepayment
charges or late charges or assumption fees. On or before each Determination Date, the
Servicer shall cause the Subservicer, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreement, to remit to
the Servicer for deposit in the Custodial Account all funds held in the Subservicing Account
with respect to each Mortgage Loan serviced by such Subservicer that are required to be
remitted to the Servicer.
(b) In addition to the Custodial Account and the Payment Account, the Servicer shall for
any Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, and shall cause the Subservicers for Subserviced Mortgage
Loans to, establish and maintain one or more Servicing Accounts and deposit and retain
therein all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances from Subservicers) for the payment
of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if
applicable, or comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors. Each Servicing Account
shall be hold in trust, entitled "GMAC Mortgage Corporation Servicing Account in trust for
the benefit of the of the Holders of GMACM Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2006-AR2." Withdrawals of amounts related to the Mortgage Loans from the Servicing
Accounts may be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, Primary Insurance Policy premiums, if applicable, or comparable items, to
reimburse the Servicer or Subservicer out of related collections for any payments made
pursuant to Sections 3.11 (with respect to the Primary Insurance Policy) and 3.12(a) (with
respect to hazard insurance), to refund to any Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to
be overages, to pay interest, if required, to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing
Account or to clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement
in accordance with Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Servicer shall, and
the Subservicers will, pursuant to the Subservicing Agreements, be required to pay to the
Mortgagors interest on funds in this account to the extent required by law.
(c) The Servicer shall advance the payments referred to in the preceding subsection that
are not timely paid by the Mortgagors or advanced by the Subservicers on the date when the
tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but the Servicer shall
be required so to advance only to the extent that such advances, in the good faith judgment
of the Servicer, will be recoverable by the Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or otherwise.
Section 3.09. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans.
If compliance with this Section 3.09 shall make any Class of Certificates legal for
investment by federally insured savings and loan associations, the Servicer shall provide,
or cause the Subservicers to provide, to the Trustee, the Office of Thrift Supervision or
the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners thereof access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift
Supervision, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the offices designated by the Servicer. The Servicer shall
permit such representatives to photocopy any such documentation and shall provide equipment
for that purpose at a charge reasonably approximating the cost of such photocopying to the
Servicer.
Section 3.10. Permitted Withdrawals from the Custodial Account.
(a) The Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein, make withdrawals from the
Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein pursuant to Section 3.07 that are collected
on or attributable to the Mortgage Loans for the following purposes:
(i) to make deposits into the Payment Account in the amounts and in the manner provided
for in Section 4.01;
(ii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for previously unreimbursed advances
or expenses made pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.07(a), 3.08, 3.11, 3.12(a), 3.14
and 4.04 or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
such withdrawal right being limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage
Loans (including, for this purpose, REO Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds,
Liquidation Proceeds and proceeds from the purchase of a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.04 or 4.07) which represent (A) Late Collections
of Monthly Payments for which any such advance was made in the case of
Subservicer Advances or Advances pursuant to Section 4.04 and (B) recoveries
of amounts in respect of which such advances were made in the case of
Servicing Advances;
(iii) to pay to itself or the related Subservicer (if not previously retained by such
Subservicer) out of each payment received by the Servicer on account of
interest on a Mortgage Loan as contemplated by Sections 3.14 and 3.16, an
amount equal to that remaining portion of any such payment as to interest (but
not in excess of the Servicing Fee and the Subservicing Fee, if not previously
retained) which, when deducted, will result in the remaining amount of such
interest being interest at the Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage
Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan) on the amount specified in the
amortization schedule of the related Mortgage Loan as the principal balance
thereof at the beginning of the period respecting which such interest was paid
after giving effect to any previous Curtailments;
(iv) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation any interest or investment
income earned on funds and other property deposited in or credited to the
Custodial Account that it is entitled to withdraw pursuant to Section 3.07(c);
(v) to pay to itself as additional servicing compensation any Foreclosure Profits, and
any amounts remitted by Subservicers or received from Mortgagors as interest
in respect of Curtailments;
(vi) to pay the Seller, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or property acquired in respect
thereof that has been purchased or otherwise transferred pursuant to
Section 2.02, 2.04, 4.07 or 9.01, all amounts received thereon and not
required to be distributed to the Certificateholders as of the date on which
the related Stated Principal Balance or Purchase Price is determined;
(vii) to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for any Nonrecoverable Advance or any
Advance that was ultimately determined to be Excess Special Hazard Losses,
Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses or Extraordinary Losses in the
manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c) below, any Advance made in
connection with a modification of a Mortgage Loan that is in default or, in
the judgment of the Servicer, default is reasonably foreseeable pursuant to
Section 3.07(a), to the extent the amount of the Advance has been added to the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, or any Advance
reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(a);
(viii) to reimburse itself, the REMIC Administrator or the Company for expenses incurred by
and reimbursable to it, the REMIC Administrator or the Company pursuant to
Sections 3.01(a), 3.01(b), 3.11, 3.13, 3.14(c), 6.03, 10.01 or otherwise;
(ix) to reimburse itself for Servicing Advances expended by it (a) pursuant to
Section 3.14 in good faith in connection with the restoration of property
damaged by an Uninsured Cause, and (b) in connection with the liquidation of a
Mortgage Loan or disposition of an REO Property to the extent not otherwise
reimbursed pursuant to clause (ii) or (viii) above; and
(x) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Custodial Account that was not required to be
deposited therein pursuant to Section 3.07.
(b) Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii), (v) and (vi),
the Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the
related Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Custodial Account pursuant to such clauses. All permitted withdrawals pursuant to clauses
(iv), (vii), (viii) and (ix) shall be reimbursed from collections on the Mortgage Loans in
the related Loan Group or, if such reimbursement is not attributable to a specific Mortgage
Loan, shall be reimbursed from collections received on the Mortgage Loans in each Loan
Group, pro rata, based on the Stated Principal Balance of each such Loan Group.
(c) The Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself or the related Subservicer for any
Advance made in respect of a Mortgage Loan that the Servicer determines to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance or an Advance that was ultimately determined to be Excess Special
Hazard Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses or Extraordinary Losses by
withdrawal from the Custodial Account of amounts on deposit therein attributable to the
Mortgage Loans on any Payment Account Deposit Date succeeding the date of such
determination. Such right of reimbursement in respect of a Nonrecoverable Advance on any
such Payment Account Deposit Date shall be limited to an amount not exceeding the portion of
such Advance previously paid to Certificateholders (and not theretofore reimbursed to the
Servicer or the related Subservicer).
Section 3.11. Maintenance of the Primary Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder.
(a) The Servicer shall not take, or permit any Subservicer to take, any action which
would result in non-coverage under any applicable Primary Insurance Policy of any loss
which, but for the actions of the Servicer or Subservicer, would have been covered
thereunder. To the extent coverage is available, the Servicer shall keep or cause to be
kept in full force and effect a Primary Insurance Policy in the case of each Mortgage Loan
having a Loan-to-Value Ratio at origination in excess of 80%, until the principal balance of
the related Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property is reduced to 80% or less of the
appraised value based on the most recent appraisal of the Mortgaged Property performed by a
qualified appraiser, such appraisal to be included in the related servicing file. The
Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to
a Nonsubserviced Mortgage Loan, or consent to any Subservicer canceling or refusing to renew
any such Primary Insurance Policy applicable to a Mortgage Loan subserviced by it, that is
in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates and is required to be kept
in force hereunder unless the replacement Primary Insurance Policy for such canceled or
non-renewed policy is maintained with an insurer whose claims-paying ability is acceptable
to each Rating Agency for mortgage pass-through certificates having a rating equal to or
better than the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to the Certificates
as of the Closing Date by such Rating Agency. In connection with any assumption or
substitution agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant to Section 3.13, the
Servicer shall promptly notify the insurer under the related Primary Insurance Policy, if
any, of such assumption or substitution of liability in accordance with the terms of such
policy and shall take all actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to
the continuation of coverage under the Primary Insurance Policy. If such Primary Insurance
Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption or substitution of liability, the
Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary Insurance Policy as provided above.
(b) In connection with its activities as administrator and servicer of the Mortgage
Loans, the Servicer agrees to present or to cause the related Subservicer to present, on
behalf of the Servicer, the Subservicer, if any, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims
to the related Insurer under any Primary Insurance Policies, in a timely manner in
accordance with such policies, and, in this regard, to take or cause to be taken such
reasonable action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance
Policies respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to Section 3.07, any Insurance
Proceeds collected by or remitted to the Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall
be deposited in the Custodial Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10.
Section 3.12. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (other than a
Cooperative Loan) hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is equal to the
lesser of (i) the greater of (A) the principal balance owing on such Mortgage Loan and (B)
the percentage such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the application
of a co-insurance clause; or (ii) 100 percent of the insurable value of the improvements.
If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as being a special flood hazard area that has federally-mandated
flood insurance requirements, the Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance
policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance
Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount representing
coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage
Loan, (ii) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or
(iii) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection
Act of 1973, as amended. The Servicer shall also cause to be maintained on property
acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan (other than
a Cooperative Loan), hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is at least
equal to the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such property,
liability insurance and, to the extent required and available under the Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, as amended, flood insurance in an amount as provided above.
Pursuant to Section 3.07, any amounts collected by the Servicer under any such policies
(other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged
Property or property thus acquired or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with
the Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Custodial Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.10. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in
maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly
distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the Mortgage
Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be
recoverable by the Servicer out of related late payments by the Mortgagor, out of Insurance
Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds or from amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account to the
extent permitted by Section 3.10. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor or maintained on property acquired
in respect of a Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as
shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. All such
policies shall be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses with loss payable to the Servicer
and its successors and/or assigns and shall provide for at least thirty days prior written
notice of any cancellation, reduction in the amount or material change in coverage to the
Servicer. The Servicer shall not interfere with the Mortgagor's freedom of choice in
selecting either his insurance carrier or agent, provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not accept any such insurance policies from insurance companies unless such companies
currently reflect a General Policy Rating in Best's Key Rating Guide currently acceptable to
Xxxxxx Xxx and are licensed to do business in the state wherein the property subject to the
policy is located.
If the Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket hazard insurance policy with
extended coverage 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 sentence
of this Section 3.12(a), it being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a
deductible clause, in which case the Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have
been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the first sentence
of this Section 3.12(a) and there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by
such policy, deposit in the Payment Account the amount not otherwise payable under the
blanket policy because of such deductible clause. Any such deposit by the Servicer shall be
made on the Payment Account Deposit Date next preceding the Distribution Date which occurs
in the month following the month in which payments under any such policy would have been
deposited in the Custodial Account. In connection with its activities as administrator and
servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy.
(b) The Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and
effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and
omissions insurance policy covering the Servicer's officers and employees and other persons
acting on behalf of the Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement.
The amount of coverage, taken together, shall be at least equal to the coverage that would
be required by Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, with respect to the Servicer if the Servicer were
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans for Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. In the event
that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Servicer shall obtain a comparable
replacement bond or policy from an issuer or insurer, as the case may be, meeting the
requirements set forth above.
Section 3.13. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption and Modification Agreements;
Certain Assignments.
(a) When any Mortgaged Property is conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Servicer or
Subservicer, to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance, shall enforce any
due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent permitted under
applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the extent that such enforcement
will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage under any Required Insurance Policy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer is not required to exercise such rights with
respect to a Mortgage Loan if the Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been
conveyed or is proposed to be conveyed satisfies the terms and conditions contained in the
Mortgage Note and Mortgage related thereto and the consent of the mortgagee under such
Mortgage Note or Mortgage is not otherwise so required under such Mortgage Note or Mortgage
as a condition to such transfer. In the event that the Servicer is prohibited by law from
enforcing any such due-on-sale clause, or if coverage under any Required Insurance Policy
would be adversely affected, or if nonenforcement is otherwise permitted hereunder, the
Servicer is authorized, subject to Section 3.13(b), to take or enter into an assumption and
modification agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been or is about to
be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and,
unless prohibited by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon, provided
that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Servicer
enters such agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Servicer, subject
to Section 3.13(b), is also authorized with the prior approval of the insurers under any
Required Insurance Policies to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such
Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person
is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section by reason of
any transfer or assumption which the Servicer reasonably believes it is restricted by law
from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale clause to the extent set
forth in Section 3.13(a), in any case in which a Mortgaged Property is to be conveyed to a
Person by a Mortgagor, and such Person is to enter into an assumption or modification
agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage which requires the signature of the
Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required releasing the
Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Servicer is authorized, subject to the
requirements of the sentence next following, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the
Trustee, the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to be
conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or
other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out the terms of the Mortgage Note
or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any applicable laws regarding assumptions or the
transfer of the Mortgaged Property to such Person; provided, however, that in connection
with any such assumption, no material term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. Upon
receipt of appropriate instructions from the Servicer in accordance with the foregoing, the
Trustee shall execute any necessary instruments for such assumption or substitution of
liability delivered to it by the Servicer and as directed in writing by the Servicer. Upon
the closing of the transactions contemplated by such documents, the Servicer shall cause the
originals or true and correct copies of the assumption agreement, the release (if any), or
the modification or supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage to be delivered to the
Trustee or the Custodian and deposited with the Mortgage File for such Mortgage Loan. Any
fee collected by the Servicer or such related Subservicer for entering into an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement will be retained by the Servicer or such Subservicer as
additional servicing compensation.
(c) The Servicer or the related Subservicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to
approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the related Mortgaged Property,
the granting of an easement thereon in favor of another Person, any alteration or demolition
of the related Mortgaged Property (or, with respect to a Cooperative Loan, the related
Cooperative Apartment) without any right of reimbursement or other similar matters if it has
determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it
were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full
collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby and if it has
also determined that any portion of the applicable REMIC would not fail to continue to
qualify as a REMIC under the Code as a result thereof and (subject to Section 10.01(f)) that
no tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the startup day would be
imposed on such REMIC as a result thereof. Any fee collected by the Servicer or the related
Subservicer for processing such a request will be retained by the Servicer or such
Subservicer as additional servicing compensation.
(d) Subject to any other applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Trustee,
if so directed by the Servicer, and the Servicer shall be entitled to approve an assignment
in lieu of satisfaction with respect to any Mortgage Loan, provided the obligee with respect
to such Mortgage Loan following such proposed assignment provides the Trustee and Servicer
with a "Lender Certification for Assignment of Mortgage Loan" in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit K, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Servicer, providing the
following: (i) that the substance of the assignment is, and is intended to be, a
refinancing of such Mortgage; (ii) that the Mortgage Loan following the proposed assignment
will have a rate of interest at least 0.25 percent below or above the rate of interest on
such Mortgage Loan prior to such proposed assignment; and (iii) that such assignment is at
the request of the borrower under the related Mortgage Loan. Upon approval of an assignment
in lieu of satisfaction with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall receive cash
in an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of and accrued interest on such Mortgage
Loan and the Servicer shall treat such amount as a Principal Prepayment in Full with respect
to such Mortgage Loan for all purposes hereof.
(e) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer may modify any Mortgage
Loan to provide for bi-weekly payments in connection with its "Bi-Saver Program" if
requested to do so from the related Mortgagor; provided, however, that the Servicer may not
modify or permit any Subservicer to modify any Mortgage Loan in accordance with this clause
(e), if such Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of the Servicer, such default
is reasonably foreseeable; and provided, further, that upon such modification, the Servicer
shall purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price therefor. If
at any time the Servicer makes a payment to the Payment Account covering the amount of the
Purchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and the Servicer provides to the Trustee a
certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such payment has been
deposited in the Payment Account, then the Trustee shall execute the assignment of such
Mortgage Loan delivered to it by the Servicer at the request of the Servicer, without
recourse to or representation or warranty by the Trustee, to the Servicer, which shall
succeed to all the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all
security and documents relative thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright
and not for security. The Servicer shall thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such security
and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with
respect thereto.
Section 3.14. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include
an REO Acquisition) 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. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall, consistent with Section 3.11, follow
such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal
and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities, as shall meet the requirements of
the Insurer under any Required Insurance Policy, and as shall be consistent with the
provisions of this Agreement. With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of
sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or
its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. If the Trustee's name is placed on the
title to such REO Property, it shall be solely as the Trustee hereunder and not in its
individual capacity. The Servicer shall ensure that the title to such REO Property
references this Agreement and the Trustee's capacity thereunder. The Servicer, however,
shall not be required to expend its own funds or incur other reimbursable charges in
connection with any foreclosure, or attempted foreclosure which is not completed, or towards
the restoration of any property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or
foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Holders of
Certificates of one or more Classes after reimbursement to itself for such expenses or
charges and (ii) that such expenses or charges will be recoverable to it through Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, or REO Proceeds (respecting which it shall have priority for
purposes of withdrawals from the Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.10, whether or not
such expenses and charges are actually recoverable from related Liquidation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds or REO Proceeds). In the event of such a determination by the Servicer
pursuant to this Section 3.14(a), the Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such
amounts pursuant to Section 3.10. If the Servicer has knowledge that a Mortgaged Property
which the Servicer is contemplating acquiring in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure is located within a one (1) mile radius of any site listed in the Expenditure
Plan for the Hazardous Substance Clean Up Bond Act of 1984 or other site with environmental
or hazardous waste risks known to the Servicer, the Servicer will, prior to acquiring the
Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take action in accordance with its
established environmental review procedures.
The Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer, and
in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx guidelines, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates other
foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the
same locality as the REO Property is managed. Each disposition of REO Property shall be
carried out by the Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer
deems to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders.
Upon the occurrence of a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition, following the deposit
in the Custodial Account of all Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and other payments
and recoveries referred to in the definition of "Cash Liquidation" or "REO Disposition," as
applicable, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a
Servicing Officer, the Trustee or any Custodian, as the case may be, shall release to the
Servicer the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Servicer, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Servicer or its designee, as the case may be,
the related Mortgage Loan, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan shall not be part of the Trust
Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, in the
Servicer's sole discretion with respect to any defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property as to
either of the following provisions, (i) a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition may be deemed
to have occurred if substantially all amounts expected by the Servicer to be received in
connection with the related defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property have been received, and
(ii) for purposes of determining the amount of any Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds,
REO Proceeds or any other unscheduled collections or the amount of any Realized Loss, the
Servicer may take into account minimal amounts of additional receipts expected to be
received or any estimated additional liquidation expenses expected to be incurred in
connection with the related defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property.
(b) If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired by the Trust Fund as an REO Property
by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be
issued to the Trustee or to its nominee on behalf of Certificateholders. Notwithstanding
any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan, such REO
Property shall (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) be considered to be an
Outstanding Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the REO Property shall
be sold. Consistent with the foregoing for purposes of all calculations hereunder so long
as such REO Property shall be considered to be an Outstanding Mortgage Loan it shall be
assumed that, notwithstanding that the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note
shall have been discharged, such Mortgage Note and the related amortization schedule in
effect at the time of any such acquisition of title (after giving effect to any previous
Curtailments and before any adjustment thereto by reason of any bankruptcy or similar
proceeding or any moratorium or similar waiver or grace period) remain in effect. To the
extent the net income received during any calendar month is in excess of the amount
attributable to amortizing principal and accrued interest at the related Mortgage Rate on
the related Mortgage Loan for such calendar month, such excess shall be considered to be a
Curtailment of the related Mortgage Loan.
(c) If the Trust Fund acquires any REO Property as aforesaid or otherwise in connection
with a default or imminent default on a Mortgage Loan, the Servicer on behalf of the Trust
Fund shall dispose of such REO Property within three full years after the taxable year of
its acquisition by the Trust Fund for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (or such
shorter period as may be necessary under applicable state (including any state in which such
property is located) law to maintain the status of any portion of the applicable REMIC as a
REMIC under applicable state law and avoid taxes resulting from such property failing to be
foreclosure property under applicable state law) or, at the expense of the Trust Fund,
request, more than 60 days before the day on which such grace period would otherwise expire,
an extension of such grace period unless the Servicer (subject to Section 10.01(f)) obtains
for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Servicer, to the
effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to such period
will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in
Section 860F of the Code or cause the applicable REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC (for
federal (or any applicable State or local) income tax purposes) at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding, in which case the Trust Fund may continue to hold such REO
Property (subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel). The Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed from the Custodial Account for any costs incurred in
obtaining such Opinion of Counsel, as provided in Section 3.10. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, no REO Property acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or
allowed to continue to be rented) or otherwise used by or on behalf of the Trust Fund in
such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such REO Property to fail to
qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
(ii) subject the Trust Fund to the imposition of any federal income taxes on the income
earned from such REO Property, including any taxes imposed by reason of Section 860G(c) of
the Code, unless the Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust Fund with
respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
(d) The proceeds of any Cash Liquidation, REO Disposition or purchase or repurchase of
any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as well as any recovery resulting
from a collection of Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or REO Proceeds, will be
applied in the following order of priority: first, to reimburse the Servicer or the related
Subservicer in accordance with Section 3.10(a)(ii); second, to all Servicing Fees and
Subservicing Fees payable therefrom (and the Servicer and the Subservicer shall have no
claims for any deficiencies with respect to such fees which result from the foregoing
allocation); third, to the Certificateholders to the extent of accrued and unpaid interest
on the Mortgage Loan, and any related REO Imputed Interest, at the Net Mortgage Rate (or the
Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified Mortgage Loan) to the Due Date prior to
the Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed; fourth, to the
Certificateholders as a recovery of principal on the Mortgage Loan (or REO
Property)(provided that, if such recovery is of an amount previously allocated to one or
more Classes of Certificates as a Realized Loss, such recovery shall be allocated among such
Classes in the same proportions as the allocation of such Realized Losses and, if any such
Class of Certificates to which such Realized Loss was allocated is no longer outstanding,
such subsequent recovery shall be distributed to the persons who were the Holders of such
Class of Certificates when it was retired); and fifth, to Foreclosure Profits.
(e) In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose obligors is not a
United States Person, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will
cause compliance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(d)(3) (or any
successor thereto) necessary to assure that no withholding tax obligation arises with
respect to the proceeds of such foreclosure except to the extent, if any, that proceeds of
such foreclosure are required to be remitted to the obligors on such Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.15. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Notes.
(a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or upon the receipt
by the Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary for such purposes, the Servicer will immediately notify the Custodian, if any, or
the Trustee (if it holds the related Mortgage Note) by delivery of a Request for Release
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F requesting delivery to it of the
Mortgage Note. The Servicer is authorized to execute and deliver to the Mortgagor the
request for reconveyance, deed of reconveyance or release or satisfaction of mortgage or
such instrument releasing the lien of the Mortgage, together with the Mortgage Note with, as
appropriate, written evidence of cancellation thereon and to cause the removal from the
registration on the MERS(R)System of such Mortgage and to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Trustee and the Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release. No expenses incurred in
connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable
to the Custodial Account or the Payment Account.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, the Servicer shall deliver a Request for Release to the Custodian, if any, or the
Trustee (if it holds the related Mortgage Note) requesting that possession of the Mortgage
Note be released to the Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release and that
such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage
Loan under any Required Insurance Policy. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Trustee (if it
holds the related Mortgage Note) or the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage Note to the
Servicer. The Servicer shall cause each Mortgage Note so released to be returned to the
Trustee, or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee when the need therefor by the Servicer no
longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds
relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Custodial Account or (ii) the
Mortgage Note has been delivered directly or through a Subservicer to an attorney, or to a
public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or
pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property
either judicially or non-judicially, and the Servicer has delivered directly or through a
Subservicer to the Trustee and the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying
as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage Note was delivered and the
purpose or purposes of such delivery. In the event of the liquidation of any such Mortgage
Loan, the Custodian, if any, or the Trustee shall deliver the Request for Release with
respect thereto to the Servicer upon deposit of the related Liquidation Proceeds in the
Custodial Account.
(c) The Servicer on the Trustee's behalf shall execute and deliver any court pleadings,
requests for trustee's sale or other documents 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. Together with such documents or pleadings (if
signed by the Trustee), the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a
Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and
certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution
and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate any insurance coverage under any
Required Insurance Policy or 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.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer shall account
fully to the Trustee for any funds received by the Servicer or which otherwise are collected
by the Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds in respect of any related
Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of,
the Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and
interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds, including but not limited to, any funds on
deposit in the Custodial Account(s), shall be held by the Servicer for and on behalf of the
Trustee and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to
the applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Servicer also agrees that it shall not
create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Custodial
Account, Payment Account or any related Servicing Account, or any funds that otherwise are
or may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, to
any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ of attachment or other encumbrance,
or assert by legal action or otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage
File or any funds collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however,
that the Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any
amounts that are properly due and payable to the Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 3.16. Servicing and Other Compensation; Compensating Interest.
(a) The Servicer, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be entitled to
receive on each Distribution Date the amounts provided for by clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of
Section 3.10(a), subject to clause (e) below. The amount of servicing compensation provided
for in such clauses shall be accounted for on a Mortgage Loan-by-Mortgage Loan basis. In
the event that Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and REO Proceeds (net of amounts
reimbursable therefrom pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(ii)) in respect of a Cash Liquidation or
REO Disposition exceed the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan plus unpaid
interest accrued thereon (including REO Imputed Interest) at a per annum rate equal to the
related Net Mortgage Rate (or the Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of a Modified
Mortgage Loan), the Servicer shall be entitled to retain therefrom and to pay to itself
and/or the related Subservicer, any Foreclosure Profits and any Servicing Fee or
Subservicing Fee considered to be accrued but unpaid.
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of prepayment charges, assumption fees,
late payment charges, investment income on amounts in the Custodial Account or otherwise
shall be retained by the Servicer or the Subservicer to the extent provided herein, subject
to clause (e) below.
(c) The Servicer shall be required to pay, or cause to be paid, all expenses incurred by
it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of premiums for
the Primary Insurance Policies, if any, to the extent such premiums are not required to be
paid by the related Mortgagors, certain expenses of the Trustee as provided in Section 8.05,
and the fees and expenses of any Custodian) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided in Sections 3.01, 3.10 and 3.14.
(d) The Servicer's right to receive servicing compensation may not be transferred in
whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of its responsibilities and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the amount of the Servicing Fee that the
Servicer shall be entitled to receive for its activities hereunder for the period ending on
each Distribution Date shall be reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to
Compensating Interest (if any) for such Distribution Date. In making such reduction, the
Servicer will not withdraw from the Custodial Account any such amount representing all or a
portion of the Servicing Fee to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(iii).
Section 3.17. Reports to the Trustee and the Depositor.
Not later than fifteen days after it receives a written request from the Trustee or
the Depositor, the Servicer shall forward to the Trustee and the Depositor a statement,
certified by a Servicing Officer, setting forth the status of the Custodial Account as of
the close of business on such Distribution Date as it relates to the Mortgage Loans and
showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate of deposits in or
withdrawals from the Custodial Account in respect of the Mortgage Loans for each category of
deposit specified in Section 3.07 and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.10.
Section 3.18. Annual Statement as to Compliance and Servicing Assessment.
The Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee on or before the earlier
of (a) March 31 of each year or (b) with respect to any calendar year during which the
Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, the date on which the annual
report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission, (i) a servicing assessment as described in Section
4.03(f)(ii) and (ii) a servicer compliance statement, signed by an authorized officer of the
Servicer, as described in Items 1122(a), 1122(b) and 1123 of Regulation AB, to the effect
that:
(A) A review of the Servicer's activities during the reporting period and
of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision.
(B) To the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
Servicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement in all material respects
throughout the reporting period or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such
obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and
the nature and status thereof.
The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from all other
parties participating in the servicing function any additional certifications required under
Item 1123 of Regulation AB to the extent required to be included in a Report on Form 10-K;
provided, however, that a failure to obtain such certifications shall not be a breach of the
Servicer's duties hereunder if any such party fails to deliver such a certification.
Section 3.19. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On or before the earlier of (a) March 31 of each year or (b) with respect to any
calendar year during which the Depositor's annual report on Form 10-K is required to be
filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission,
the date on which the annual report is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission, the Servicer at its expense shall cause
a firm of independent public accountants, which shall be members of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants, to furnish to the Depositor and the Trustee the attestation
required under Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB. In rendering such statement, such firm may
rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon
comparable statements for examinations conducted by independent public accountants
substantially in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (rendered within one year of such statement) with respect to
such Subservicers.
Section 3.20. Periodic Filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; Additional
Information.
(a) The Servicer shall, on behalf of the Depositor and in respect of the Trust Fund, sign
and cause to be filed with the Commission any periodic reports required to be filed under
the provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission
thereunder, including without limitation, reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-D and Form 8-K. In
connection with the preparation and filing of such periodic reports, the Trustee shall
timely provide to the Servicer (I) a list of Certificateholders as shown on the Certificate
Register as of the end of each calendar year, (II) copies of all pleadings, other legal
process and any other documents relating to any claims, charges or complaints involving the
Trustee, as trustee hereunder, or the Trust Fund that are received by a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee, (III) notice of all matters that, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee, have been submitted to a vote of the Certificateholders, other than
those matters that have been submitted to a vote of the Certificateholders at the request of
the Depositor or the Servicer, and (IV) notice of any failure of the Trustee to make any
distribution to the Certificateholders as required pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee
shall not have any liability with respect to the Servicer's failure to properly prepare or
file such periodic reports, and the Servicer shall not have any liability with respect to
the Servicer's failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports resulting from or
relating to the Servicer's inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from
the Servicer's own negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) Any Form 10-K filed with the Commission in connection with this Section 3.20 shall
include, with respect to the Certificates relating to such 10-K:
(i) A certification, signed by the senior officer in charge of the servicing
functions of the Servicer, in the form attached as Exhibit N-1 hereto or such other form as
may be required or permitted by the Commission (the "Form 10-K Certification"), in
compliance with Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act and any additional directives
of the Commission.
(ii) A report from the Servicer regarding its assessment of compliance during the
preceding calendar year with all applicable servicing criteria set forth in relevant
Commission regulations with respect to mortgage-backed securities transactions taken as a
whole involving the Servicer that are backed by the same types of assets as those backing
the certificates, as well as similar reports on assessment of compliance received from other
parties participating in the servicing function as required by relevant Commission
regulations, as described in Item 1122(a) of Regulation AB. The Servicer shall obtain from
all other parties participating in the servicing function any required assessments.
(iii) With respect to each assessment report described immediately above, a report
by a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the assessment made
by the asserting party, as set forth in relevant Commission regulations, as described in
Regulation 1122(b) of Regulation AB and Section 3.19.
(iv) The servicer compliance certificate required to be delivered pursuant Section
3.18.
(c) In connection with the Form 10-K Certification, the Trustee shall provide the
Servicer with a back-up certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
N-2.
(d) This Section 3.20 may be amended in accordance with this Agreement without the
consent of the Certificateholders.
(e) The Trustee shall make available on the Trustee's internet website each of the
reports filed with the Commission by or on behalf of the Depositor under the Exchange Act,
upon delivery of such report to the Trustee.
Section 3.21. Rights of the Company in Respect of the Servicer.
The Servicer shall afford the Company and the Trustee reasonable access to all
records and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans and all accounts, insurance
information and other matters relating to this Agreement, such access being afforded without
charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the office
designated by the Servicer.
Section 3.22. Administration of Buydown Funds.
(a) With respect to any Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Servicer will withdraw from the
account that satisfies the requirements for a Subservicing Account (the "Buydown Account")
the predetermined amount that, when added to the amount due on such date from the Mortgagor,
equals the full Monthly Payment and deposit that amount in the Custodial Account together
with the related payment made by the Mortgagor or advanced by the Subservicer.
(b) If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan prepays such loan in its entirety during
the period (the "Buydown Period") when Buydown Funds are required to be applied to such
Buydown Mortgage Loan, the Servicer shall withdraw from the Buydown Account and remit any
Buydown Funds remaining in the Buydown Account in accordance with the related buydown
agreement. The amount of Buydown Funds which may be remitted in accordance with the related
buydown agreement may reduce the amount required to be paid by the Mortgagor to fully prepay
the related Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgagor on a Buydown Mortgage Loan defaults on such
Mortgage Loan during the Buydown Period and the property securing such Buydown Mortgage Loan
is sold in the liquidation thereof (either by the Servicer or the insurer under any related
Primary Insurance Policy), the Servicer shall withdraw from the Buydown Account the Buydown
Funds for such Buydown Mortgage Loan still held in the Buydown Account and deposit the same
in the Custodial Account or, pay to the insurer under any related Primary Insurance Policy
if the Mortgaged Property is transferred to such insurer and such insurer pays all of the
loss incurred in respect of such default. Any amount so remitted pursuant to the preceding
sentence will be deemed to reduce the amount owed on the Mortgage Loan.
Section 3.23. Advance Facility.
(a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into any facility (an "Advance Facility")
with any Person (any such Person, an "Advance Facility Counterparty"), without the consent
of any party to this Agreement, which provides that the Servicer may pledge or sell its
rights to receive reimbursement of Advances, advances of taxes pursuant to Section 3.01(b)
and advances of insurance pursuant to Section 3.12 (collectively, "Facility Advances")
pursuant to this Agreement ("Advance Reimbursement Rights") pursuant to credit facilities,
repurchase facilities, or similar facilities providing liquidity for the funding of Facility
Advances, including facilities providing that such Advance Facility Counterparty may make
all or a portion of Facility Advances. Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance
Facility under which an Advance Facility Counterparty agrees to fund Facility Advances on
the Servicer's behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to
make any Facility Advances as required by this Agreement, and shall not be relieved of such
obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility.
(b) If the Servicer enters into an Advance Facility, the Servicer shall promptly give
written notice to the Trustee, which shall include the identity of the Advance Facility
Counterparty, and for so long as an Advance Facility Counterparty remains entitled to
receive reimbursement for any Facility Advances ("Advance Reimbursement Amount"), then the
Servicer shall identify such Advance Reimbursement Amount as received, consistently with the
reimbursement rights set forth in Sections 3.10 of this Agreement, and shall remit such
Advance Reimbursement Amount in accordance with the documentation establishing the Advance
Facility to such Advance Facility Counterparty or to a trustee, agent or custodian (an
"Advance Facility Trustee") designated in writing to the Trustee by such Advance Facility
Counterparty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if so required pursuant to the terms of the
Advance Facility, the Servicer may withdraw from the Custodial Account, and the Servicer
shall pay to the Advance Facility Counterparty or the Advance Facility Trustee, the Advance
Reimbursement Amount identified pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Trustee shall have
no obligation with respect to the calculation or payment of any Advance Reimbursement Amount
nor, as a result of the existence of any Advance Facility shall the Trustee have any
obligation to track, monitor or administer such Advance Facility.
(c) The Advance Reimbursement Amount shall consist solely of amounts in respect of
Facility Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer would be
permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with this Agreement, assuming the Servicer had
made the related Facility Advances. Any Advance Reimbursement Amount that the Servicer, in
its capacity as Servicer, is entitled to be paid shall not be included in distributions to
Certificateholders. An Advance Facility Counterparty whose obligations are limited to the
making of Facility Advances will not be deemed to be a Subservicer under this Agreement or
be required to meet the criteria for qualification as a Subservicer under this Agreement.

related to the Loan Group in which Mortgage Loan described below is in, Accrued Certificate

only to the extent that such unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest was attributable to
interest shortfalls relating to the failure of the Servicer to make any required Advance, or
the determination by the Servicer that any proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable
Advance, with respect to the related Mortgage Loan where such Mortgage Loan has not yet been
the subject of a Cash Liquidation or REO Disposition.
(b) Distributions of principal on the Senior Certificates on each Distribution Date shall
be made as follows:
(i) Group 1. An amount equal to the Group 1 Senior Principal Distribution Amount shall
be distributed first, to the Class R Certificates and then to the Class
1-A-1 and Class 1-A-2 Certificates, pro rata, in each case in reduction
of its Certificate Principal Balance until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
(ii) Group 2. An amount equal to the Group 2 Senior Principal Distribution Amount shall
be distributed to the Class 2-A-1 and Class 2-A-2 Certificates, pro
rata, in each case in reduction of its Certificate Principal Balance

rata, in each case in reduction of its Certificate Principal Balance
until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to
zero;
(v) Group 5. An amount equal to the Group 5 Senior Principal Distribution Amount shall
be distributed as follows: (1) an amount equal to the Class
5-A-1A/Class 5-A-1B Senior Distribution Amount to the Class 5-A-1A
Certificates in reduction of its Certificate Principal Balance until
the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero and
then to the Class 5-A-1B Certificates in reduction of its Certificate
Principal Balance until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero, and (2) an amount equal to the Class 5-A-2 Senior
Distribution Amount to the Class 5-A-2 Certificates in reduction of its
Certificate Principal Balance until the Certificate Principal Balance
thereof has been reduced to zero; and
(c) Prior to the occurrence of the Credit Support Depletion Date but after the reduction
of the Certificate Principal Balances of any of the Class 1-A Certificates, the Class 2-A
Certificates, the Class 3-A Certificates, the Class 4-A Certificates or the Class 5-A
Certificates to zero, the remaining Senior Certificates shall be entitled to receive, pro
rata, based upon their respective aggregate Certificate Principal Balances, in addition to
any Principal Prepayments in Full and Curtailments related to such Certificates' respective
Loan Group, 100% of the Principal Prepayments in Full and Curtailments on the Mortgage Loans
in the Loan Group or Loan Groups with respect to which the aggregate Certificate Principal
Balance of the related Senior Certificates has been reduced to zero, in accordance with the
priorities set forth in Section 4.02(b) above, in reduction of the Certificate Principal
Balances thereof, on any Distribution Date if (i) the Aggregate Subordinate Percentage is
less than 200% of the Aggregate Subordinate Percentage as of the Closing Date or (ii) the
aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of all Mortgage Loans Delinquent 60 days or more
(including Mortgage Loans in REO and foreclosure) (averaged over the preceding six month
period), as a percentage of the aggregate of the Certificate Principal Balances of the
Subordinate Certificates, is greater than or equal to 50%.
In addition, on any Distribution Date prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date on
which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of any of the Class 1-A Certificates, the
Class 2-A Certificates, the Class 3-A Certificates, the Class 4-A Certificates or the
Class 5-A Certificates, is greater than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group, in each case after giving effect to distributions
to be made on such Distribution Date (each such Loan Group, an "Undercollateralized Group"),
the Available Distribution Amount for the Overcollateralized Groups otherwise allocable to
the Subordinate Certificates shall instead be distributed to such Undercollateralized
Group(s), as applicable, pro rata, based upon their respective amounts of
undercollateralization, in accordance with the priorities set forth in clause 4.02(b) above,
(1) in reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances thereof, until the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of such Undercollateralized Group(s), as applicable, equals
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group(s),
and (2) an amount equal to one month's interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate for such
Undercollateralized Group(s), as applicable, on the amount of such difference, first, to pay
any unpaid interest on such Class or Classes of Certificates and second, to pay principal on
such Classes in the manner described in (1) above.
(d) After the reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances of the Senior Certificates
relating to a Loan Group to zero but prior to the Credit Support Depletion Date, such Senior
Certificates shall be entitled to no further distributions of principal thereon and the
related Available Distribution Amount shall be distributed solely to the holders of the
Subordinate Certificates, in each case as described herein, except as is otherwise set forth
in Section 4.02(c) above.
(e) In addition to the foregoing distributions, with respect to any Subsequent
Recoveries, the Servicer shall deposit such funds into the Custodial Account pursuant to
Section 3.07(b)(iii). If, after taking into account such Subsequent Recoveries for a Loan
Group, the amount of a previously allocated Realized Loss is reduced, the amount of such
Subsequent Recoveries will be applied to increase the Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class of Certificates related to such Loan Group with a Certificate Principal Balance
greater than zero with the highest payment priority to which Realized Losses have been
allocated, but not by more than the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to that
Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05. The amount of any remaining Subsequent
Recoveries will be applied to increase from zero the Certificate Principal Balance of the
Class of Certificates with the next lower payment priority, up to the amount of Realized
Losses previously allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05. Any
remaining Subsequent Recoveries will in turn be applied to increase from zero the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates related to such Loan Group with
the next lower payment priority up to the amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to
that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05, and so on. Holders of such
Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of Accrued Certificate Interest
on the amount of such increases for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution
Date on which such increase occurs. Any such increase shall be applied to the Certificate
Principal Balance of each Certificate of such Class in accordance with its respective
Percentage Interest.
(f) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the
Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be solely responsible for 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") for which it acts as agent. Each
brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it
represents. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Company or the Servicer
shall have any responsibility for the allocation of such distributions among Depository
Participants, brokerage firms and Certificate Owners.
(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, if the Servicer anticipates that a
final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates shall be made on the next
Distribution Date, the Servicer shall, no later than the Determination Date in the month of
such final distribution, notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall, no later than two (2)
Business Days after the later of (i) receipt of such notices or (ii) such Determination
Date, mail on such date to each Holder of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect
that: (i) the Trustee anticipates that the final distribution with respect to such Class of
Certificates shall be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and
surrender of such Certificates at the office designated by the Trustee or as otherwise
specified therein, and (ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the
end of the related Interest Accrual Period. In the event that Certificateholders required
to surrender their Certificates pursuant to Section 9.01(c) do not surrender their
Certificates for final cancellation, the Trustee shall cause funds distributable with
respect to such Certificates to be withdrawn from the Payment Account and credited to a
separate escrow account for the benefit of such Certificateholders as provided in
Section 9.01(d).
Section 4.03. Statements to Certificateholders.
(a) Concurrently with each distribution charged to the Payment Account and with respect
to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make available to Certificateholders, the
Rating Agencies and other parties to this Agreement via the Trustee's internet website the
Remittance Report.
The Trustee's internet website shall initially be located at "xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxx."
Assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling the Trustee's customer service
desk at (000) 000-0000. Parties that are unable to use the website are entitled to have a
paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service desk and
indicating such. The Trustee shall have the right to change the way Distribution Date
statements are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more
accessible to the above parties, provided that such procedures are no less convenient for
the Certificateholders and the Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification to all
above parties regarding any such changes. The Trustee shall also be entitled to rely on but
shall not be responsible for the content or accuracy of any information provided by third
parties for purposes of making the Remittance Report available and may affix to it a
disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion.
(b) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall forward, or cause to be forwarded, to each
Person who at any time during the calendar year was the Holder of a Certificate, other than
a Class R Certificate, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (i)(a)
and (ii) of Exhibit L attached hereto aggregated for such calendar year or applicable
portion thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the
Trustee shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable
information shall be provided by the Trustee pursuant to any requirements of the Code.
(c) Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Trustee
shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall forward, or cause to be forwarded, to each
Person who at any time during the calendar year was the Holder of a Class R Certificate, a
statement containing the applicable distribution information provided pursuant to this
Section 4.03 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion thereof during which
such Person was the Holder of a Class R Certificate. Such obligation of the Trustee shall
be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information
shall be provided by the Servicer pursuant to any requirements of the Code.
(d) Upon the written request of any Certificateholder, the Trustee, as soon as reasonably
practicable, shall provide the requesting Certificateholder with such information in the
Trustee's possession as is necessary and appropriate, in the Trustee's sole discretion, for
purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements under Rule 144A. The Company and
the Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee as is reasonably necessary to respond to any
such request but the Trustee shall have no liability for failure to provide any information
not in the Trustee's possession.
Section 4.04. Distribution of Reports to the Trustee and the Company; Advances by the
Servicer.
(a) Prior to the close of business on two Business Days succeeding each Determination
Date, or if such Determination Date falls on a Friday or a day that is not a Business Day,
on the Business Day next succeeding such Determination Date, the Servicer shall furnish the
Remittance Report to the Trustee in a mutually agreed upon form of an electromagnetic tape
or disk and hard copy, or other automated transmission. The Remittance Report and any
information supplemental thereto shall include such information with respect to the Mortgage
Loans that is required by the Trustee for purposes of fulfilling its obligations as REMIC
Administrator under Article X and making the distributions described in Section 4.02, as set
forth in written specifications or guidelines issued by the Servicer or the Trustee from
time to time. The Trustee shall be protected in relying upon the information set forth in
the Remittance Report without any independent check or verification.
(b) On or before 2:00 P.M. New York time on each Payment Account Deposit Date, the
Servicer shall either (i) deposit in the Payment Account from its own funds, or funds
received therefor from the Subservicers, an amount equal to the Advances to be made by the
Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, which shall be in an aggregate amount
equal to the aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof
adjusted to the Net Mortgage Rate), less the amount of any related Servicing Modifications,
Debt Service Reductions or reductions in the amount of interest collectable from the
Mortgagor pursuant to the Relief Act, on the Outstanding Mortgage Loans as of the related
Due Date, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of business as of the
related Determination Date; provided that no Advance shall be made if it would be a
Nonrecoverable Advance, (ii) withdraw from amounts on deposit in the Custodial Account and
deposit in the Payment Account all or a portion of the Amount Held for Future Distribution
in discharge of any such Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of any combination of
(i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Advance. Any portion of the Amount Held for
Future Distribution so used shall be replaced by the Servicer by deposit in the Payment
Account on or before 11:00 A.M. New York time on any future Payment Account Deposit Date to
the extent that funds attributable to the Mortgage Loans that are available in the Custodial
Account for deposit in the Payment Account on such Payment Account Deposit Date shall be
less than payments to Certificateholders required to be made on the following Distribution
Date. The Servicer shall be entitled to use any Advance made by a Subservicer as described
in Section 3.07(b) that has been deposited in the Custodial Account on or before such
Distribution Date as part of the Advance made by the Servicer pursuant to this
Section 4.04. The amount of any reimbursement pursuant to Section 4.02(a) in respect of
outstanding Advances on any Distribution Date shall be allocated to specific Monthly
Payments due but delinquent for previous Due Periods, which allocation shall be made, to the
extent practicable, to Monthly Payments which have been delinquent for the longest period of
time. Such allocations shall be conclusive for purposes of reimbursement to the Servicer
from recoveries on related Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.10.
The determination by the Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that
any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced
by an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer delivered to the Company and the Trustee.
If the Servicer determines as of the Business Day preceding any Payment Account
Deposit Date that it will be unable to deposit in the Payment Account an amount equal to the
Advance required to be made for the immediately succeeding Distribution Date, it shall give
notice to the Trustee of its inability to make an Advance (such notice may be given by
telecopy), not later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on such Business Day, specifying the
portion of such amount that it will be unable to deposit. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New
York time, on the Payment Account Deposit Date the Trustee shall, unless by 12:00 Noon, New
York time, on such day the Trustee shall have been notified in writing (by telecopy) that
the Servicer shall have directly or indirectly deposited in the Payment Account such portion
of the amount of the Advance as to which the Servicer shall have given notice pursuant to
the preceding sentence, pursuant to Section 7.01, (a) terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and
(b) assume the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder, including the obligation to
deposit in the Payment Account an amount equal to the Advance for the immediately succeeding
Distribution Date.
The Trustee shall deposit all funds it receives pursuant to this Section 4.04 into
the Payment Account.
Section 4.05. Allocation of Realized Losses.
Prior to each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, that resulted from any Cash Liquidation, Servicing Modification,
Debt Service Reduction, Deficient Valuation or REO Disposition that occurred during the
calendar month preceding the month of distribution or, in the case of a Servicing
Modification that constitutes a reduction of the interest rate on a Mortgage Loan, the
amount of the reduction in the interest portion of the Monthly Payment due during the
related Due Period. The amount of each Realized Loss shall be evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate. All Realized Losses, other than Excess Special Hazard Losses, Extraordinary
Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses or Excess Fraud Losses, shall be allocated as follows:
first, to the Class B-3 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero; second, to the Class B-2 Certificates until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; third, to the Class B-1 Certificates until the
Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M-3
Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced to zero;
fifth, to the Class M-2 Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M-1 Certificates until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero; and, thereafter, the remainder of the Realized
Losses on the Mortgage Loans shall be allocated (A) in the case of a Group 1 Loan, and in
the case of interest and principal portions of such losses, to Class 1-A-2 Certificates
until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 1-A-2 Certificates has been reduced to
zero, and then to the Class 1-A-1 Certificates; (B) in the case of a Group 2 Loan, and in
the case of interest and principal portions of such losses, to the Class 2-A-2 Certificates
until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 2-A-2 Certificates has been reduced to
zero, and then to the Class 2-A-1 Certificates; (C) in the case of a Group 3 Loan, and in
the case of interest and principal portions of such losses, to the Class 3-A-2 Certificates
until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 3-A-2 Certificates has been reduced to
zero, and then to the Class 3-A-1 Certificates; (D) in the case of a Group 4 Loan, and in
the case of interest and principal portions of such losses, to the Class 4-A-2 Certificates
until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 4-A-2 Certificates has been reduced to
zero, and then to the Class 4-A-1 Certificates; and (E) in the case of a Group 5 Loan, and
in the case of interest and principal portions of such losses, to the Class 5-A-2
Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class 5-A-2 Certificates has
been reduced to zero, and then to the Class 5-A-1A Certificates and the Class 5-A-1B
Certificates, on a pro rata basis. The Group 1 Senior Percentage, Group 2 Senior Percentage
or Group 3 Senior Percentage, as applicable, of any Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess
Bankruptcy Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, or Extraordinary Losses shall be allocated (A) in
the case of a Group 1 Loan, to the Class 1-A-1 Certificates and Class 1-A-2 Certificates, on
a pro rata basis; (B) in the case of a Group 2 Loan, to the Class 2-A-1 Certificates and
Class 2-A-2 Certificates, on a pro rata basis; (C) in the case of a Group 3 Loan, to the
Class 3-A-1 Certificates and Class 3-A-2 Certificates, on a pro rata basis; (D) in the case
of a Group 4 Loan, to the Class 4-A-1 Certificates and Class 4-A-2 Certificates and (E) in
the case of a Group 5 Loan, to the Class 5-A-1A Certificates, Class 5-A-1B Certificates and
Class 5-A-2 Certificates, on a pro rata basis, on a pro rata basis; and the remainder of any
Excess Special Hazard Losses, Excess Bankruptcy Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, or
Extraordinary Losses on the Mortgage Loans in any Loan Group shall be allocated among the
Class M and Class B Certificates, on a pro rata basis, as described below.
As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss 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 in the case of the principal portion of a Realized Loss or
based on the Accrued Certificate Interest thereon payable on such Distribution Date in the
case of an interest portion of a Realized Loss. Except as provided in the following
sentence, any allocation of the principal portion of Realized Losses (other than Debt
Service Reductions) to a Class of Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate
Principal Balance thereof by the amount so allocated, which allocation shall be deemed to
have occurred on such Distribution Date. Any allocation of the principal portion of
Realized Losses (other than Debt Service Reductions) to the Subordinate Certificates then
outstanding with the Lowest Priority shall be made by operation of the definition of
"Certificate Principal Balance" and by operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(a).
Allocations of the interest portions of Realized Losses shall be made in proportion to the
amount of Accrued Certificate Interest and by operation of the definition of "Accrued
Certificate Interest" and by operation of the provisions of Section 4.02(a). Allocations of
the principal portion of Debt Service Reductions shall be made by operation of the
provisions of Section 4.02(a). 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.
Realized Losses shall be allocated among the REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC
II Regular Interests as specified in the definition of Realized Loss.
Section 4.06. Reports of Foreclosures and Abandonment of Mortgaged Property.
The Servicer or the Subservicers shall file information returns with respect to the
receipt of mortgage interests received in a trade or business, the reports of foreclosures
and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the information returns relating to
cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property required by
Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P, respectively, of the Code. Such reports shall be in form
and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Sections 6050H, 6050J
and 6050P of the Code.
Section 4.07. Optional Purchase of Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
As to any Mortgage Loan which is delinquent in payment by 90 days or more, the
Servicer may, upon the written request of and with funds provided by the Junior
Certificateholder, purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee at the Purchase Price
therefor. If at any time the Servicer makes a payment to the Payment Account covering the
amount of the Purchase Price for such a Mortgage Loan, and the Servicer provides to the
Trustee a certification signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the amount of such
payment has been deposited in the Payment Account, then the Trustee shall execute the
assignment of such Mortgage Loan delivered to it by the Servicer at the request of the
Servicer without recourse, representation or warranty and return such assignment to the
Servicer for delivery to the Junior Certificateholder, which shall succeed to all the
Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan, and all security and
documents relative thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and not for
security. The Junior Certificateholder shall thereupon own such Mortgage, and all such
security and documents, free of any further obligation to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders with respect thereto.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01. The Certificates.
(a) The Class A, Class M, Class B and Class R Certificates shall be substantially in the
forms set forth in Exhibits A, B, C and D, respectively, and shall, on original issue, be
executed and delivered by the Trustee to the Certificate Registrar for authentication and
delivery to or upon the order of the Company upon receipt by the Trustee or one or more
Custodians of the documents specified in Section 2.01. Each Class of Class A Certificates
and Class M-1 Certificates shall be issuable in minimum dollar denominations of $25,000 and
integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class M-2 Certificates, Class M-3
Certificates and each Class of Class B Certificates shall be issuable in minimum dollar
denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof, in the case of the
Class M Certificates, and $1,000, in the case of the Class B Certificates, except that one
Certificate of the Class B-3 Certificates is issued evidencing the sum of an authorized
denomination thereof plus the remainder of the aggregate Initial Certificate Principal
Balance thereof. Each Class of Class R Certificates shall be issued in registered,
certificated form in minimum percentage interests of 20.00% and integral multiples of 0.01%
in excess thereof; provided, however, that one Class R Certificate of each Class will be
issuable to the Servicer as "tax matters person" pursuant to Section 10.01(c) in a minimum
denomination representing a Percentage Interest of not less than 0.01%
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of an
authorized signatory of the Trustee. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper authorized signatories of the
Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificate 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 for herein executed by the Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such
certificate upon any Certificate 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) Except as provided below, registration of Book-Entry Certificates may not be
transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold such
Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The
Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in
and to each of such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and,
except as provided below, shall not be entitled to 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 transfer the Ownership Interests only 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 Trustee, the Servicer and the Company may for all purposes (including the making
of payments due on the respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates) deal with the
Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to the
respective Classes of Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of
Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the
respective Classes of 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 any Class of 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 Trustee 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 Company advises the Trustee in writing that the Depository is no longer
willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository and (B) the Company
is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) the Company notifies the Depository and
the Trustee of its intent to terminate the book-entry system and, upon receipt of notice of
such intent from the Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interest in
the Book-Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination, the Trustee 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 Trustee of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by
registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Trustee
shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Company, the Servicer nor the Trustee
shall be liable for any actions taken by the Depository or its nominee, including, without
limitation, any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the
Company in connection with the issuance of the Definitive Certificates pursuant to this
Section 5.01 shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, and the
Trustee and the Servicer shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.
Section 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies to be appointed
by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.12, a Certificate Register in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide
for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as
herein provided. The Trustee is initially appointed Certificate Registrar for the purpose
of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or
agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12 and, in the case
of any Class M, Class B or Class R Certificate, upon satisfaction of the conditions set
forth below, the Trustee shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Certificates of a like Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
(c) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates of authorized denominations of a like Class and aggregate Percentage Interest,
upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute and the
Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates of such Class 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 Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(d) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Class B Certificate shall be made
unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities
laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the event that a transfer of a
Class B Certificate is to be made either (i)(A) the Trustee shall require a written Opinion
of Counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Company that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable
exemption and the basis therefor, from said Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said
Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company
or the Servicer (except that, if such transfer is made by the Company or the Servicer or any
Affiliate thereof, the Company or the Servicer shall provide such Opinion of Counsel at
their own expense); provided that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required in
connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Company or any Affiliate
thereof to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company and (B) the Trustee shall require the
transferee to execute a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit H
hereto, and the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a representation letter,
substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, each acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee certifying to the Company and the Trustee the
facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, the Company or the Servicer; provided, however, that such representation letters
shall not be required in connection with any transfer of any such Certificate by the Company
or any Affiliate thereof to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the
Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Company, of the status of such
transferee as an Affiliate of the Company or (ii) the prospective transferee of such a
Certificate shall be required to provide the Trustee, the Company and the Servicer with an
investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto (or such other form
as the Company in its sole discretion deems acceptable), which investment letter shall not
be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Servicer, and which investment letter
states that, among other things, such transferee (A) is a "qualified institutional buyer" as
defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own account or the accounts of other "qualified
institutional buyers" as defined under Rule 144A, and (B) is aware that the proposed
transferor intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Rule 144A. The Holder of any such
Certificate desiring to effect any such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Company, the Servicer and the
Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer, sale, pledge or
other disposition is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state
laws.
(e) (i) In the case of any Class B or Class R Certificate presented for registration
in the name of any Person, either (A) the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Company and the
Servicer to the effect that the purchase or holding of such Class B or Class R Certificate
is permissible under applicable law, will not constitute or result in any non-exempt
prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any
subsequent enactments), and will not subject the Trustee, the Company or the Servicer 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 Trustee, the Company or the Servicer or (B) the prospective
Transferee shall be required to provide the Trustee, the Company and the Servicer with a
certification to the effect set forth in paragraph six of Exhibit H or paragraph three of
Exhibit J (with respect to any Class B Certificate) or paragraph sixteen of Exhibit G-1
(with respect to any Class R Certificate), which the Trustee may rely upon without further
inquiry or investigation, or such other certifications as the Trustee may deem desirable or
necessary in order to establish that such Transferee or the Person in whose name such
registration is requested either (a) is not an employee benefit plan or other plan subject
to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any Person
(including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan) who is
using "plan assets" of any such plan to effect such acquisition (each, a "Plan Investor") or
(b) in the case of any Class B Certificate, the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) such Transferee is an insurance company, (ii) the source of funds used to purchase and
hold such Certificate (or interest therein) is an "insurance company general account" (as
defined in U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60,
and (iii) the conditions set forth in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied
(each entity that satisfies these subsections (i) through (iii) of this clause (b), a
"Complying Insurance Company").
(ii) Any Transferee of a Senior Certificate (other than a Class R Certificate) or a Class
M Certificate shall be deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or
holding of such Certificate (or interest therein) that either (a) such
Transferee is not a Plan Investor, (b) it has acquired and is holding such
Certificate in reliance on Prohibited Transaction Exemption ("PTE") 94-29, 59
Fed. Reg. 14674 (April 29, 1994), as most recently amended by PTE 2002-41, 67
Fed. Reg. 54487 (August 22, 2002) (the "Issuer Exemption"), and that (i) it
understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the
Issuer Exemption including that such Certificate must be rated, at the time of
purchase, not lower that "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor's,
Fitch or Xxxxx'x and (ii) it is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule
501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (c)
such Transferee is a Complying Insurance Company.
(iii) (A) If any Senior Certificate (other than a Class R Certificate) or any Class M
Certificate (or any interest therein) is acquired or held by any Person that
does not satisfy the conditions described in paragraph (ii) above, then the
last preceding Transferee that either (i) is not a Plan Investor,
(ii) acquired such Certificate in compliance with the Issuer Exemption, or
(iii) is a Complying Insurance Company shall be restored, to the extent
permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Certificate Owner thereof
retroactive to the date of such Transfer of such Certificate. The Trustee
shall be under no liability to any Person for making any payments due on such
Certificate to such preceding Transferee.
(B) Any purported Certificate Owner whose acquisition or holding of any Senior
Certificate or any Class M Certificate (or interest therein) was
effected in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(e) shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trustee, the Servicer, any
Subservicer, and the Trust Fund from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a
result of such acquisition or holding.
(f) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R
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
Trustee 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 Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate
shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee
of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and shall not
register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until its receipt of,
(I) an affidavit and agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement,"
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1) from the proposed
Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicer,
representing and warranting, among other things, that it is a Permitted
Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the
Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a
nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted
Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate, it shall endeavor to remain a Permitted
Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this
Section 5.02(f) and agrees to be bound by them, and (II) a certificate,
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, from the Holder wishing to
transfer the Class R Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Servicer, representing and warranting, among other things, that no
purpose of the proposed Transfer is to impede the assessment or
collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed
Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee who is assigned to this Agreement has actual knowledge that the
proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee
shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R 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 Class R Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership
Interest unless it provides a certificate to the Trustee in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit G-2.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, by
purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give
the Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-through interest holder"
within the meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations
Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf of, a "pass-through
interest holder."
(ii) The Trustee shall register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate only if it shall
have received the Transfer Affidavit and Agreement, a certificate of the
Holder requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2 and
all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the
Trustee as a condition to such registration. Transfers of the Class R
Certificates to Non-United States Persons and Disqualified Organizations (as
defined in Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code) are prohibited.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a holder of a Class R
Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored,
to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such
Class R Certificate. If a Non-United States Person shall become a holder of a
Class R Certificate, then the last preceding United States Person shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of
such Class R Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R Certificate is
disregarded pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding Permitted
Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights
and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of
such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(f) 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 Class R Certificate in
violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(f) and to the extent
that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such
Class R Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Servicer shall have the
right, without notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Class R
Certificate, to sell such Class R Certificate to a purchaser selected
by the Servicer on such terms as the Servicer may choose. Such
purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver the Class R
Certificates in accordance with the instructions of the Servicer. Such
purchaser may be the Servicer itself or any Affiliate of the Servicer.
The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include
commissions payable to the Servicer or its Affiliates), expenses and
taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by the Servicer 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 Servicer,
and the Servicer shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such
discretion.
(iv) The Trustee shall make available, upon written request from the Internal Revenue
Service or any potentially affected Person, all information in its possession
and necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a
Disqualified Organization, including the information regarding "excess
inclusions" of such Class R Certificates required to be provided to the
Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury
Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), 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 Class R Certificate having as
among its record holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified
Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be
required by the Trustee before it will provide such information to any such
potentially affected Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(f) set forth prior to this clause (v) may be
modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been
delivered to the Trustee the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that the modification,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such
Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings, if any, of any
Class of the Senior, Class M or Class B Certificates below the lower of
the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates as
of the Closing Date by such Rating Agency; and
(B) subject to Section 10.01(f), an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer stating that
the Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Servicer, to the effect that such modification,
addition to or absence of such provisions will not cause any portion of
the applicable REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not cause
(x) any portion of the applicable REMIC to be subject to an
entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Class R Certificate to a
Person that is a Disqualified Organization or (y) a Certificateholder
or another Person to be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the
Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(g) No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates of any
Class, but the Trustee 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 destroyed by the
Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary procedures.
Section 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee
and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save
each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee
shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate
of like tenor, Class and Percentage Interest but bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses
of the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company,
the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Company, the
Servicer, the Trustee, or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any
Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Section 4.02 and for all other purposes whatsoever, except as and
to the extent provided in the definition of "Certificateholder," and neither the Company,
the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Company, the
Servicer, the Trustee, or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the
contrary except as provided in Section 5.02(f)(iii).
Section 5.05. Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions to the
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 4.02. In the event of any such appointment, on or
prior to each Distribution Date the Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the
Paying Agent a sum sufficient to make the payments to the Certificateholders in the amounts
and in the manner provided for in Section 4.02, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit
of the Certificateholders.
The Trustee shall cause each Paying Agent (if not the Trustee) to execute and deliver
to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that
such Paying Agent shall hold all sums held by it for the payment to the Certificateholders
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be
distributed to such Certificateholders. Any sums so held by such Paying Agent shall be held
only in Eligible Accounts to the extent such sums are not distributed to the
Certificateholders on the date of receipt by such Paying Agent.
Section 5.06. Optional Purchase of Certificates.
(a) On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance, prior to giving
effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date, is less than ten percent of
the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans, the Servicer shall have the right,
at its option, to purchase the Certificates in whole, but not in part, at a price equal to
the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance of such Certificates plus the sum of Accrued
Certificate Interest thereon for the related Interest Accrual Period and any previously
unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest.
(b) The Servicer shall give the Trustee not less than 60 days' prior notice of the
Distribution Date on which the Servicer anticipates that it shall purchase the Certificates
pursuant to Section 5.06(a). Notice of any such purchase, specifying the Distribution Date
upon which the Holders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment in
accordance with this Section 5.06, shall be given promptly by the Servicer by letter to
Certificateholders (with a copy to the Certificate Registrar and each Rating Agency) mailed
not earlier than the 9th day and not later than the 19th day of the month next preceding the
month of such final distribution, specifying:
(i) the Distribution Date upon which purchase of the Certificates is anticipated to be
made upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office
or agency of the Trustee therein designated,
(ii) the purchase price therefor, if known, and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein
specified.
If the Servicer gives the notice specified above, the Servicer shall deposit in the Payment
Account before the Distribution Date on which the purchase pursuant to Section 5.06(a) is to
be made, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the purchase price for the
Certificates computed as provided above.
(c) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates to be purchased pursuant to
Section 5.06(a) by the Holders thereof, the Trustee shall distribute to such Holders an
amount equal to the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof plus the sum of
Accrued Certificate Interest thereon for the related Interest Accrual Period and any
previously unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest with respect thereto.
(d) If any Certificateholders do not surrender their Certificates on or before the
Distribution Date on which a purchase pursuant to this Section 5.06 is to be made, the
Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Payment Account deposited therein by the
Servicer pursuant to Section 5.06(b) to be withdrawn therefrom and deposited in a separate
escrow account (for which funds will be held uninvested) for the benefit of such
Certificateholders, and the Servicer shall give a second written notice to such
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for payment of the purchase price
therefor. If within six months after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as directed by the
Servicer to contact the Holders of such Certificates concerning surrender of their
Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining the escrow account and of contacting
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain in the escrow account. If
within nine months after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation in accordance with this Section 5.06, the Trustee shall pay to the Servicer
all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof and shall have no further responsibility
therefor and the Servicer shall thereafter hold such amounts until distributed to such
Holders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held
in the escrow account or by the Servicer as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for payment in accordance with this Section 5.06. Any
Certificate that is not surrendered on the Distribution Date on which a purchase pursuant to
this Section 5.06 occurs as provided above shall be deemed to have been purchased and the
Holder as of such date shall have no rights with respect thereto except to receive the
purchase price therefor minus any costs and expenses associated with such escrow account and
notices allocated thereto. Any Certificates so purchased or deemed to have been purchased
on such Distribution Date shall remain outstanding hereunder. The Servicer shall be for all
purposes the Holder thereof as of such date.
ARTICLE VI
THE COMPANY AND THE SERVICER
Section 6.01. Respective Liabilities of the Company and the Servicer.
The Company and the Servicer shall each be liable in accordance herewith only to the
extent of the obligations specifically and respectively imposed upon and undertaken by the
Company and the Servicer herein. By way of illustration and not limitation, the Company is
not liable for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, nor is it obligated
by Section 7.01 or Section 10.01 to assume any obligations of the Servicer or to appoint a
designee to assume such obligations, nor is it liable for any other obligation hereunder
that it may, but is not obligated to, assume unless it elects to assume such obligation in
accordance herewith.
Section 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Company or the Servicer; Assignment of Rights
and Delegation of Duties by Servicer.
(a) The Company and the Servicer shall each keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its incorporation, and shall each
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.
(b) Any Person into which the Company or the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or
any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Company or the
Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Company or the
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Company or the 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 Servicer shall be qualified to
service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that
each Rating Agency's ratings, if any, of the Senior, Class M or Class B Certificates 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 each Rating
Agency).
(c) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 6.02 and Section 6.04 to the contrary,
the Servicer may assign its rights and delegate its duties and obligations under this
Agreement; provided that the Person accepting such assignment or delegation shall be a
Person which is qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac,
is reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, is willing to service the
Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers to the Company and the Trustee an agreement, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, which contains an
assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each
covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Servicer under this Agreement;
provided further that each Rating Agency's rating of the Classes of Certificates that have
been rated in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be
qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result of such assignment and delegation (as evidenced
by a letter to such effect from each Rating Agency). In the case of any such assignment and
delegation, the Servicer shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement, except
that the Servicer shall remain liable for all liabilities and obligations incurred by it as
Servicer hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment and
delegation set forth in the next preceding sentence.
Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Company, the Servicer and Others.
Neither the Company, the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or
agents of the Company or the 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 Company, the Servicer or any such Person against any
breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise
be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties
hereunder. The Company, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Company or the Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The
Company, the Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or the
Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless 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 related to any specific
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense
incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance
of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
Neither the Company nor the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal or administrative action, proceeding, hearing or examination
that is not incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its
opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Company or
the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action, proceeding, hearing or
examination that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this Agreement and the
rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, proceeding, hearing
or examination and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Company and the Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the
Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 and, on the Distribution Date(s) following
such reimbursement, the aggregate of such expenses and costs shall be allocated in reduction
of the Accrued Certificate Interest on each Class entitled thereto in the same manner as if
such expenses and costs constituted a Prepayment Interest Shortfall.
Section 6.04. Company and Servicer Not to Resign.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, neither the Company nor the Servicer shall
resign from its respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon
determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any
such determination permitting the resignation of the Company or the Servicer shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such
resignation by the Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer
shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations in accordance with
Section 7.02.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01. Events of Default.
Event of Default, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events
(whatever reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary
or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court
or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
(i) the Servicer shall fail to deposit or cause to be deposited into the Payment Account
any amounts required to be so deposited therein at the time required pursuant
to Section 4.01 or otherwise, and in either case, such failure shall continue
unremedied for a period of 5 days after the date upon which written notice of
such failure, requiring such failure to be remedied, shall have been given to
the Servicer by the Trustee or the Company or to the Servicer, the Company and
the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 25%; or
(ii) the Servicer shall fail to observe or perform in any material respect any other of
the covenants or agreements on the part of the Servicer contained in the
Certificates of any Class or in this Agreement and such failure shall continue
unremedied for a period of 30 days (except that such number of days shall be
15 in the case of a failure to pay the premium for any Required Insurance
Policy) after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the
same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or
the Company, or to the Servicer, the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of
Certificates of any Class evidencing, in the case of any such Class,
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25%; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction
in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer and
such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for
a period of 60 days; or
(iv) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities, or similar proceedings of, or relating to, the Servicer or of, or
relating to, all or substantially all of the property of the Servicer; or
(v) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they
become due, file a petition to take advantage of, or commence a voluntary case
under, any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment
for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its
obligations; or
(vi) the Servicer shall notify the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.04(b) that it is unable
to deposit in the Payment Account an amount equal to the Advance.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i)-(v) of this Section shall occur,
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been
remedied, the Company may, and at the direction of Holders of Certificates entitled to at
least 51% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer (and
to the Company if given by the Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Company), terminate
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder. If an Event of Default described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee
shall, by notice to the Servicer and the Company, immediately terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and
the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder as provided in
Section 4.04(b). On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all
authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Certificates (other than as a Holder thereof) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall
subject to Section 7.02 pass to and be vested in the Trustee or the Trustee's designee
appointed pursuant to Section 7.02; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or
accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the
Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights
hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee or its designee for
administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to the
Custodial Account or the Payment Account or thereafter be received with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, and the delivery to the Trustee of the Mortgage Files, and the recordation
of Assignments of Mortgages to the Trustee if MERS is not the mortgagee of a Mortgage Loan
or otherwise in accordance with Section 7.02(b). No such termination shall release the
Servicer for any liability that it would otherwise have hereunder for any act or omission
prior to the effective time of such termination.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of GMACM in its capacity as
Servicer hereunder, GMACM shall be entitled to receive, out of any late collection of a
Monthly Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due prior to the notice terminating GMACM's
rights and obligations as Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion to
which GMACM would have been entitled pursuant to Sections 3.10(a)(ii), (vi) and (vii) as
well as its Servicing Fee in respect thereof, and any other amounts payable to GMACM
hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the termination of its activities
hereunder.
Section 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) Within 90 days of the time the Servicer resigns pursuant to Section 6.04 or receives
a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee or a successor Servicer
appointed by the Trustee hereunder shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in
its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall be subject thereafter to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and
limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer, including the obligation
to make Advances which have been or will be required to be made, but excluding the
representations of the Servicer contained in Section 2.03, by the terms and provisions
hereof; provided that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the
predecessor Servicer's failure to provide information required by Section 4.02 or 4.03 shall
not be considered a default by the Trustee as successor Servicer hereunder; and provided
further that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever with respect to any liability
(other than Advances deemed recoverable and not previously made) incurred by the predecessor
Servicer at or prior to the time of receipt by such Servicer of the notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.01 or receipt by the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel referred to in
Section 6.04. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee
and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Servicer would have been entitled to
charge to the Custodial Account if the Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except for
amounts that the Servicer shall be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 7.01. If the
Trustee has become the successor to the Servicer in accordance with Section 6.04 or this
Section 7.02, then notwithstanding the above, if the Trustee shall be unwilling to so act,
or shall be unable to so act, the Trustee may appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution, which is also
a Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved mortgage servicing institution, having a net worth of
not less than $9,500,000 as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all
or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder.
Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such
capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such
compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Servicer hereunder. Each of the
Seller, the Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
If the Trustee becomes the successor to the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall be
entitled to be reimbursed by the Servicer for all costs associated with the transfer of the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans to the Trustee, including any costs or expenses associated
with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or
manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to correct any errors
or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the
Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement. To the extent that any such costs and
expenses of the Trustee resulting from the termination of the Servicer pursuant to this
Section 7.02 are not reimbursed promptly by the terminated Servicer, the Trustee shall be
entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Payment Account.
Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Servicer shall maintain in force during
its term as Servicer hereunder insurance policies and fidelity bonds as may be required to
be maintained by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12.
If the Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a separate capacity and not in its
capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article VIII shall be inapplicable
to the Trustee in its duties as successor Servicer in the servicing of the Mortgage Loans
(although such provisions shall continue to apply to the Trustee in its capacity as
trustee); the provisions of Article III, however, shall apply to the Trustee in its capacity
as successor Servicer.
(b) In connection with the termination or resignation of the Servicer hereunder, either
(i) the successor Servicer, including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor
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 Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer in causing MERS to revise
its records to reflect the transfer of servicing to the successor Servicer as necessary
under MERS' rules and regulations, or (ii) the predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the
successor Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the 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(R)
System to the successor Servicer. The predecessor Servicer shall file or cause to be filed
any such assignment in the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Servicer shall
bear any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and fees and
costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under this subsection (b).
The successor Servicer shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee or the
Custodian promptly upon receipt of the original with evidence of recording thereon or a copy
certified by the public recording office in which such assignment was recorded.
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor to the Servicer, the Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Trustee shall
transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each such Event of Default
hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.
Section 7.04. Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders representing at least 66% of the Voting Rights affected by a default or
Event of Default hereunder may waive such default or Event of Default; provided, however,
that (a) a default or Event of Default under clause (i) of Section 7.01 may be waived only
by all of the Holders of Certificates affected by such default or Event of Default and (b)
no waiver pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall affect the Holders of Certificates in the
manner set forth in Section 11.01(b)(i) or (ii). Upon any such waiver of a default or Event
of Default by the Holders representing the requisite percentage of Voting Rights affected by
such default or Event of Default, such default or 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or
waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties
and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of
Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such
of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise as a prudent investor would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of such investor's own affairs.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are
specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall
examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this
Agreement. The Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of any such documents which do
not materially conform to the requirements of this Agreement in the event that the Trustee,
after so requesting, does not receive satisfactorily corrected documents.
The Trustee shall make available, forward or cause to be forwarded in a timely
fashion the notices, reports and statements required to be forwarded by the Trustee pursuant
to Sections 4.03, 7.03 and 10.01. The Trustee shall furnish in a timely fashion to the
Servicer such information as the Servicer may reasonably request from time to time for the
Servicer to fulfill its duties as set forth in this Agreement. The Trustee covenants and
agrees that it shall perform its obligations hereunder in a manner so as to maintain the
status of any portion of the applicable REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and
(subject to Section 10.01(f)) to prevent the imposition of any federal, state or local
income, prohibited transaction, contribution or other tax on the Trust Fund to the extent
that maintaining such status and avoiding such taxes are reasonably within the control of
the Trustee and are reasonably within the scope of its duties under this Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all
such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of
the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee by the Company or the Servicer and which on
their face, do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be
proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of
Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which evidence, as to
such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under
this Agreement;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default (other than a default
in payment to the Trustee) specified in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.01
or an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of Section 7.01
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in the
Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such failure or event or
the Trustee receives written notice of such failure or event at its Corporate
Trust Office from the Servicer, the Company or any Certificateholder
specifically identifying this transaction; and
(v) Except to the extent provided in Section 7.02, no provision in this Agreement shall
require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds (including, without
limitation, the making of any Advance) or otherwise incur any personal
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties as Trustee
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Trustee
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it.
(d) The Trustee shall timely pay, from its own funds, the amount of any and all federal,
state and local taxes imposed on the Trust Fund or its assets or transactions including,
without limitation, (A) "prohibited transaction" penalty taxes as defined in Section 860F of
the Code, if, when and as the same shall be due and payable, (B) any tax on contributions to
a REMIC after the Closing Date imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code and (C) any tax on
"net income from foreclosure property" as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code but only if
such taxes arise out of a breach by the Trustee of its obligations hereunder, which breach
constitutes negligence or willful misconduct by the Trustee.
Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon
any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of Servicing Officer,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other
paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel and any
Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good
faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers
vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction
of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall,
however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default (which has not been cured or waived), to exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree
of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent investor would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such investor's own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in
good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or
waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not
be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates of any
Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests, aggregating not less
than 50%; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to
the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it
in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not
reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms
of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such
expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense
of every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer, if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and otherwise by the
Certificateholder requesting the investigation;
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of its trusts or powers hereunder or perform any of its
duties hereunder either directly or by or through, agents or attorneys; and
(vii) To the extent authorized under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder,
each Holder of a Class R Certificate hereby irrevocably appoints and
authorizes the Trustee to be its attorney-in-fact for purposes of signing any
Tax Returns required to be filed on behalf of the Trust Fund. The Trustee
shall sign on behalf of the Trust Fund and deliver to the Servicer in a timely
manner any Tax Returns prepared by or on behalf of the Servicer that the
Trustee is required to sign as determined by the Servicer pursuant to
applicable federal, state or local tax laws, provided that the Servicer shall
indemnify the Trustee for all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by it
in connection with its signing any such Tax Returns that contain errors or
omissions.
(b) Following the issuance of the Certificates, the Trustee shall not accept any
contribution of assets to the Trust Fund unless (subject to Section 10.01(f)) it shall have
obtained or been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel, which shall not be a cost of the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such contribution will not (i) cause any
portion of the applicable REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding or (ii) cause the Trust Fund to be subject to any federal tax
as a result of such contribution (including the imposition of any federal tax on "prohibited
transactions" imposed under Section 860F(a) of the Code).
Section 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the execution of
the Certificates and relating to the acceptance and receipt of the Mortgage Notes) shall be
taken as the statements of the Company or the Servicer as the case may be, and the Trustee
assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (except that the
Certificates shall be duly and validly executed and authenticated by it as Certificate
Registrar) or of any Mortgage Loan, Mortgage File or related document, or of MERS or the
MERS(R)System. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company
or the Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for
the use or application of any funds paid to the Company or the Servicer in respect of the
Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the Custodial Account or the Payment
Account by the Company or the Servicer.
Section 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Trustee may
transact business with the Company, the Servicer, and their Affiliates, with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee.
Section 8.05. Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) The Servicer shall pay the Trustee's fees and reimburse its expenses hereunder
pursuant to a separate fee agreement to be entered into between the Servicer and the Trustee.
(b) The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold the Trustee harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense (a) incurred by the Trustee in connection with the
second paragraph of Section 2.1(a) and (b) incurred without negligence or willful misconduct
on the Trustee's part, arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance and
administration of the Trust Fund, including the costs and expenses (including reasonable
legal fees and expenses) of defending itself against any claim in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Agreement and the
Custodial Agreement, provided that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee shall have given the Servicer written
notice thereof promptly after the Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof;
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee shall cooperate and
consult fully with the Servicer in preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer shall not be
liable for settlement of any claim by the Trustee entered into without the
prior consent of the Servicer which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
No termination of this Agreement, or the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the
Servicer, shall affect the obligations created by this Section 8.05(b) of the Servicer to
indemnify the Trustee under the conditions and to the extent set forth herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification provided by the Servicer in this
Section 8.05(b) shall not pertain to any loss, liability or expense of the Trustee,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim, incurred in
connection with any actions taken by the Trustee at the direction of the Certificateholders
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or a national banking
association having its principal office in a state and city acceptable to the Company and
organized and doing business under the laws of such 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. If such corporation or national banking association publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined
capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 8.07.
Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created
by giving written notice thereof to the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the
successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
trustee.
(b) If at any time the Trustee 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
Company, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be
adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one
copy to the successor trustee. In addition, in the event that the Company determines that
the Trustee has failed (i) to distribute or cause to be distributed to the
Certificateholders any amount required to be distributed hereunder, if such amount is held
by the Trustee or its Paying Agent (other than the Servicer or the Company or such Paying
Agent (other than the Trustee) if selected by the Servicer or the Company) for distribution
or (ii) to otherwise observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants,
agreements or obligations hereunder, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period
of 5 days (in respect of clause (i) above) or 30 days (in respect of clause (ii) above)
after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring that the same be remedied,
shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company, then the Company may remove the Trustee
and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument delivered as provided in the preceding
sentence. In connection with the appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Company shall, on or before the date on which any such appointment
becomes effective, obtain from each Rating Agency written confirmation that the appointment
of any such successor trustee will not result in the reduction of the ratings on any class
of the Certificates below the lesser of the then current or original ratings on such
Certificates.
(c) The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights may at any
time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or
instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly
authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Company, one
complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08. Successor Trustee.
(a) Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee shall become effective
and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder,
with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee
shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and
statements held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held by a
Custodian, which shall become the agent of any successor trustee hereunder), and the
Company, the Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting
and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
(b) No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at
the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 8.06.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section,
the Company shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Holders of
Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Company fails
to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee,
the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.
Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or national banking association into which the Trustee may be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or national banking
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation or national banking association succeeding to the
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation or national banking 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. The Trustee
shall mail notice of any such merger or consolidation to the Certificateholders at their
address as shown in the Certificate Register.
Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property
securing the same may at the time be located, the Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly
shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the
Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any
part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers,
duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Servicer and the Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. If the Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15
days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the
terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 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.
(b) 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 (whether as Trustee
hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund 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.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given
to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer
to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and
co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or
separately, as may 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.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its
agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by
law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its
name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign
or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and
be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a
new or successor trustee.
Section 8.11. Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may, with the consent or at the direction of the Servicer and the
Company, appoint one or more Custodians who, except for GMAC Bank, are not Affiliates of the
Company, the Servicer or the Seller to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Notes as agent
for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee
may appoint a Custodian that is an Affiliate of the Company, the Servicer or the Seller if
the Trustee receives written confirmation from each Rating Agency that such appointment will
not reduce the rating assigned to any Class of Certificates by such Rating Agency below the
lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates as of the
Closing Date by such Rating Agency. Subject to Article VIII, the Trustee agrees to comply
with the terms of each Custodial Agreement and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof
against the Custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each Custodian shall be a
depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority and shall be
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. Each
Custodian (other than the Custodian appointed as of the Closing Date) shall have a combined
capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000. Each Custodial Agreement may be amended only
as provided in Section 11.01. The Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of the
appointment of any Custodian (other than the Custodian appointed as of the Closing Date)
pursuant to this Section 8.11.
Section 8.12. Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Trustee shall maintain an office or agency in the City of New York where
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. As of the Closing
Date, the Trustee initially designates its offices located at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx,
Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, Attention: ITS Transfer Xxxxxxxxxx, XXXXX 0000-XX0, for the purpose of
keeping the Certificate Register. The Trustee shall maintain an office at the address
stated in Section 11.05 hereof where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect
of this Agreement may be served.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
Section 9.01. Termination Upon Purchase by the Servicer or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and responsibilities of the
Company, the Servicer and the Trustee created hereby in respect of the Certificates (other
than the obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments after the Final Distribution
Date to Certificateholders and the obligation of the Company to send certain notices as
hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the
Trustee on the Final Distribution Date pursuant to this Article IX following the earlier of:
(i) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any Advance with respect
thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund or the
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, or
(ii) the purchase by the Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in
respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund at a price equal to
100% of the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan or, the fair market
value of the related underlying property of such Mortgage Loan with respect to
Mortgage Loans as to which title has been acquired if such fair market value
is less than such unpaid principal balance (net of any unreimbursed Advances
attributable to principal) on the day of repurchase plus accrued interest
thereon at the Net Mortgage Rate (or Modified Net Mortgage Rate in the case of
any Modified Mortgage Loan) to, but not including, the first day of the month
in which such repurchase price is distributed, provided, however, that in no
event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21
years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx,
living on the date hereof and provided further that the purchase price set
forth above shall be increased as is necessary, as determined by the Servicer,
to avoid disqualification of any portion of any REMIC as a REMIC.
The right of the Servicer to purchase all the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to
clause (ii) above is conditioned upon the Pool Stated Principal Balance as of the Final
Distribution Date, prior to giving effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution
Date, being less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans. If such right is exercised by the Servicer, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
been reimbursed for the full amount of any unreimbursed Advances theretofore made by it with
respect to the Mortgage Loans. In addition, the Servicer, shall provide to the Trustee and
the Custodian a Request for Release substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F
and the Trustee and any Custodian shall, promptly following payment of the purchase price,
release to the Servicer, as applicable, the Mortgage Files pertaining to the Mortgage Loans
being purchased.
(b) The Servicer shall give the Trustee not less than 60 days' prior notice of the
Distribution Date on which the Servicer anticipates that the final distribution will be made
to Certificateholders (whether as a result of the exercise by the Servicer of its right to
purchase the assets of the Trust Fund or otherwise). Notice of any termination, specifying
the anticipated Final Distribution Date (which shall be a date that would otherwise be a
Distribution Date) upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the
Trustee (if so required by the terms hereof) for payment of the final distribution and
cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Servicer (if it is exercising its right to
purchase the assets of the Trust Fund), or by the Trustee (in any other case) by letter to
the Certificateholders mailed not earlier than the 9th day and not later than the 19th day
of the month next preceding the month of such Final Distribution Date specifying:
(i) the anticipated Final Distribution Date upon which final payment of the Certificates
is anticipated to be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at
the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated,
(ii) the amount of any such final payment, if known, and
(iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, and in the case of the Senior Certificates and Class M
Certificates, that payment shall be made only upon presentation and surrender
of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.
If the Servicer is obligated to give notice to Certificateholders as aforesaid, it shall
give such notice to the Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given by the Servicer, the Servicer shall
deposit in the Payment Account before the Final Distribution Date in immediately available
funds an amount equal to the purchase price for the assets of the Trust Fund computed as
above provided.
(c) In the case of the Senior, Class M or Class B Certificates, upon presentation and
surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders thereof, the Trustee shall
distribute to the Certificateholders (i) the amount otherwise distributable on such
Distribution Date, if not in connection with the Servicer's election to repurchase, or (ii)
if the Servicer elected to so repurchase, an amount determined as follows: (A) with respect
to each Certificate the outstanding Certificate Principal Balance thereof, plus Accrued
Certificate Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period thereon and any previously
unpaid Accrued Certificate Interest, subject to the priority set forth in Section 4.02(a),
and (B) with respect to the Class R Certificates, any excess of the amounts available for
distribution (including the repurchase price specified in clause (ii) of subsection (a) of
this Section) over the total amount distributed under the immediately preceding clause (A).
(d) If any Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for final payment
and cancellation on or before the Final Distribution Date (if so required by the terms
hereof), the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Payment Account not
distributed in final distribution to Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and
credited to the remaining Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow
account for the benefit of such Certificateholders, and the Servicer (if it exercised its
right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund), or the Trustee (in any other case) shall
give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If
within six months after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Trustee shall take appropriate steps as directed by the Servicer to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The
costs and expenses of maintaining the escrow account and of contacting Certificateholders
shall be paid out of the assets which remain in the escrow account. If within nine months
after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
the Trustee shall pay to the Servicer all amounts distributable to the holders thereof and
the Servicer shall thereafter hold such amounts until distributed to such holders. No
interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in the
escrow account or by the Servicer as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to
surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
Section 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) Each REMIC that comprises the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the
following additional requirements, unless (subject to Section 10.01(f)) the Trustee and the
Servicer have received an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Trustee) to the effect that the failure of any REMIC to comply with the
requirements of this Section 9.02 will not (i) result in the imposition on the Trust Fund of
taxes on "prohibited transactions," as described in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause
any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding:
(i) The Servicer shall establish a 90-day liquidation period for such REMIC and specify
the first day of such period in a statement attached to the Trust Fund's final
Tax Return pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.860F-1. The Servicer
also shall satisfy all of the requirements of a qualified liquidation for a
REMIC under Section 860F of the Code and regulations thereunder;
(ii) The Servicer shall notify the Trustee at the commencement of such 90-day liquidation
period and, at or prior to the time of making of the final payment on the
Certificates, the Trustee shall sell or otherwise dispose of all of the
remaining assets of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms hereof; and
(iii) If the Servicer is exercising its right to purchase the assets of the Trust Fund, the
Servicer shall, during the 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the
Final Distribution Date, purchase all of the assets of the Trust Fund for cash.
(b) Each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee hereby irrevocably approves and appoints
the Servicer as its attorney-in-fact to adopt a plan of complete liquidation for such REMIC
at the expense of the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
ARTICLE X
REMIC PROVISIONS
Section 10.01. REMIC Administration.
(a) The REMIC Administrator shall make an election to treat the Trust Fund as three
REMICs under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. The assets of each
REMIC are set forth in this Agreement. Such election shall be made on Form 1066 or other
appropriate federal tax or information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state
return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC elections in respect of the Trust
Fund, Certificates and interests to be designated as the "regular interests" and the sole
class of "residual interests" in each REMIC shall be set forth in Section 10.03. The REMIC
Administrator and the Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests" (within the
meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in each REMIC elected in respect of the Trust Fund
other than the "regular interests" and "residual interests" so designated.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day" of each REMIC comprising
the Trust Fund within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(c) GMACM shall hold a Class R Certificate representing a 0.01% Percentage Interest in
each Class of the Class R Certificates and shall be designated as "the tax matters person"
with respect to each REMIC in the manner provided under Treasury regulations section
1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1. The REMIC Administrator, on
behalf of the tax matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of each REMIC in relation to any
tax matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any
administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any
governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal expenses, including without
limitation attorneys' or accountants' fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust Fund and the REMIC
Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts collected on or
attributable to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Custodial Account as provided by
Section 3.10 unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the REMIC
Administrator's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence.
(d) The REMIC Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared all of the Tax Returns
that it determines are required with respect to each REMIC created hereunder and deliver
such Tax Returns in a timely manner to the Trustee and the Trustee shall sign and file such
Tax Returns in a timely manner. The expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne by
the REMIC Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor. The REMIC
Administrator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee with respect to any tax or
liability arising from the Trustee's signing of Tax Returns that contain errors or
omissions. The Trustee and Servicer shall promptly provide the REMIC Administrator with
such information as the REMIC Administrator may from time to time request for the purpose of
enabling the REMIC Administrator to prepare Tax Returns.
(e) The REMIC Administrator shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate
such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of
a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Trustee,
and the Trustee shall forward to the Certificateholders, such information or reports as are
required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest,
original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and
(iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the
person who will serve as the representative of each REMIC.
(f) The Servicer and the REMIC Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause each
REMIC created hereunder to take such actions as are reasonably within the Servicer's or the
REMIC Administrator's control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein
as shall be necessary or desirable to maintain the status of each REMIC as a REMIC under the
REMIC Provisions (and the Trustee shall assist the Servicer and the REMIC Administrator, to
the extent reasonably requested by the Servicer and the REMIC Administrator to do so). The
Servicer and the REMIC Administrator shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action,
cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any
action reasonably within their respective control that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken
or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any portion of any REMIC
as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon any REMIC (including but not
limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code
and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either
such event, in the absence of an Opinion of Counsel or the indemnification referred to in
this sentence, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as
applicable, has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take
such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Servicer or the REMIC
Administrator, as applicable, determines that taking such action is in the best interest of
the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event
at the expense of the Servicer, the REMIC Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that
the contemplated action will not, with respect to each REMIC created hereunder, endanger
such status or, unless the Servicer, the REMIC Administrator or both, as applicable,
determine in its or their sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against the imposition
of such a tax, result in the imposition of such a tax. Wherever in this Agreement a
contemplated action may not be taken because the timing of such action might result in the
imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund, or may only be taken pursuant to an Opinion of
Counsel that such action would not impose a tax on the Trust Fund, such action may
nonetheless be taken provided that the indemnity given in the preceding sentence with
respect to any taxes that might be imposed on the Trust Fund has been given and that all
other preconditions to the taking of such action have been satisfied. The Trustee shall not
take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the
Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, has advised it in writing that it has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with
respect to such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC
created hereunder or any related assets thereof, or causing any REMIC to take any action,
which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall
consult with the Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable, or its designee, in
writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur
with respect to any REMIC, and the Trustee shall not take any such action or cause any REMIC
to take any such action as to which the Servicer or the REMIC Administrator, as applicable,
has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Servicer or the
REMIC Administrator, as applicable, may consult with counsel to make such written advice,
and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly
permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the Servicer or the REMIC
Administrator. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Servicer shall to the
extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein,
maintain substantially all of the assets of each REMIC created hereunder as "qualified
mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as
defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC
created hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on "net income from
foreclosure property" of any REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any
contributions to any REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the
Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local
tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Servicer, if such tax arises out of or
results from a breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the
Servicer has in its sole discretion determined to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax,
(ii) to the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of
any of its obligations under this Article X, or (iii) otherwise against amounts on deposit
in the Custodial Account as provided by Section 3.10 and on the Distribution Date(s)
following such reimbursement the aggregate of such taxes shall be allocated in reduction of
the Accrued Certificate Interest on each Class entitled thereto in the same manner as if
such taxes constituted a Prepayment Interest Shortfall.
(h) The Trustee and the Servicer shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books
and records with respect to each REMIC created hereunder on a calendar year and on an
accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC Provisions.
(i) Following the Startup Day, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall accept any
contributions of assets to any REMIC created hereunder unless (subject to Section 10.01(f))
the Servicer and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of
the party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets
in such REMIC will not cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding or subject any REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or
other applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(j) Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall (subject to Section 10.01(f)) enter into
any arrangement by which any REMIC created hereunder will receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit any REMIC to receive any income from assets other than
"qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments"
as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(k) Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations,
the "latest possible maturity date" for each REMIC I Regular Interest, REMIC II Regular
Interest and REMIC III Regular Interest shall be the Maturity Date.
(l) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the REMIC Administrator shall prepare and file
with the Internal Revenue Service Form 8811, "Information Return for Real Estate Mortgage
Investment Conduits (REMIC) and Issuers of Collateralized Debt Obligations" for each REMIC
created hereunder.
(m) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of
the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or
foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a
Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of any REMIC
created hereunder, (iii) the termination of the applicable REMIC pursuant to Article IX of
this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or III of this
Agreement) nor acquire any assets for any REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in
the Custodial Account or the Payment Account for gain nor accept any contributions to any
REMIC after the Closing Date unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale,
disposition, substitution or acquisition will not (a) affect adversely the status of any
REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Servicer has determined in its sole discretion to
indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, cause any REMIC to be subject to a tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
(n) The Trustee shall apply for an employer identification number from the Internal
Revenue Service on a Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax entities.

Article X with respect to compliance with the REMIC Provisions, including without
limitation, any penalties arising from the Trustee's execution of Tax Returns prepared by
the REMIC Administrator that contain errors or omissions; provided, however, that such
liability shall not be imposed to the extent such breach is a result of an error or omission
in information provided to the REMIC Administrator by the Servicer in which case
Section 10.02(c) shall apply.
(c) The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the Company, the REMIC Administrator
and the Trustee for any taxes and costs (including, without limitation, any reasonable
attorneys' fees) imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Company, the REMIC
Administrator or the Trustee, as a result of a breach of the Servicer's covenants set forth
in this Article X or in Article III with respect to compliance with the REMIC Provisions,
including without limitation, any penalties arising from the Trustee's execution of Tax
Returns prepared by the Servicer that contain errors or omissions.

interests" in REMIC III for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.
Section 10.04. Distributions on REMIC I Regular Interests and REMIC II Regular Interests.
(a) On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall be deemed to distribute to itself, as the
holder of the REMIC I Regular Interests, the REMIC I Distribution Amount in the amounts and
with the priorities set forth in the definition thereof.
(b) On each Distribution Date the Trustee shall be deemed to distribute to itself, as the
holder of the REMIC II Regular Interests, the REMIC II Distribution Amount in the amounts

Certificates into a new REMIC, grantor trust, FASIT or custodial arrangement
(a "Restructuring Vehicle") to be held by the Trustee pursuant to a Supplemental Article.
The instrument adopting such Supplemental Article shall be executed by the Company, the

Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) the
Restructuring Vehicle will qualify as a REMIC, grantor trust, FASIT or other entity not
subject to taxation for federal income tax purposes and (ii) the adoption of the
Supplemental Article will not endanger the status of any REMIC created hereunder as a REMIC
or (subject to Section 10.01(f)) result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund or
any REMIC created hereunder (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions
as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC as set

APPENDIX 1
Class Y Principal Reduction Amounts: For any Distribution Date the amounts by which
the Uncertificated Balances of the Class Y-1, Class Y-2, Class Y-3, Class Y-4 and Class Y-5
Regular Interests, respectively, will be reduced on such distribution date by the allocation
of Realized Losses and the distribution of principal, determined as follows:
First for each of Loan Group 1, Loan Group 2, Loan Group 3, Loan Group 4 and Loan Group 5
determine the Net WAC Rate for that Loan Group for distributions of interest that will be
made on the next succeeding Distribution Date (the "Group Interest Rate"). The Principal
Reduction Amount for each of the Class Y Regular Interests will be determined pursuant to
the "Generic solution for the Class Y Principal Reduction Amounts" set forth below (the
"Generic Solution") by making identifications among the actual Loan Groups and their related
Class Y and Class Z Regular Interests and Group Interest Rates and the Loan Groups named in
the Generic Solution and their related Class Y and Class Z Regular Interests as follows:
A. Determine which Loan Group has the lowest Group Interest Rate. That Loan Group
will be identified with Loan Group AA and the Class Y and Class Z Regular Interests related
to that Loan Group will be respectively identified with the Class YAA and Class ZAA Regular
Interests. The Group Interest Rate for that Loan Group will be identified with J%. If two
or more Loan Groups have the lowest Group Interest Rate pick one for this purpose, subject
to the restriction that each Loan Group may be picked only once in the course of any such
selections pursuant to paragraphs A through E or this definition.
B. Determine which Loan Group has the second lowest Group Interest Rate. That Loan
Group will be identified with Loan Group BB and the Class Y and Class Z Regular Interests
related to that Loan Group will be respectively identified with the Class YBB and Class ZBB
Regular Interests. The Group Interest Rate for that Loan Group will be identified with K%.
If two or more Loan Groups have the second lowest Group Interest Rate pick one for this
purpose, subject to the restriction that each Loan Group may be picked only once in the
course of any such selections pursuant to paragraphs A through E or this definition.
C. Determine which Loan Group has the third lowest Group Interest Rate. That Loan
Group will be identified with Loan Group CC and the Class Y and Class Z Regular Interests
related to that Loan Group will be respectively identified with the Class YCC and Class ZCC
Regular Interests. The Group Interest Rate for that Loan Group will be identified with L%.
If two or more Loan Groups have the third lowest Group Interest Rate pick one for this
purpose, subject to the restriction that each Loan Group may be picked only once in the
course of any such selections pursuant to paragraphs A through E or this definition.
D. Determine which Loan Group has the fourth lowest Group Interest Rate. That Loan
Group will be identified with Loan Group DD and the Class Y and Class Z Regular Interests
related to that Group will be respectively identified with the Class YDD and Class ZDD
Regular Interests. The Group Interest Rate for that Loan Group will be identified with M%.
If two or more Loan Groups have the fourth lowest Group Interest Rate pick one for this
purpose, subject to the restriction that each Loan Group may be picked only once in the
course of any such selections pursuant to paragraphs A through E or this definition.
E. Determine which Loan Group has the fifth lowest Group Interest Rate. That Loan
Group will be identified with Loan Group EE and the Class Y and Class Z Regular Interests
related to that Group will be respectively identified with the Class XXX and Class ZEE
Regular Interests. The Group Interest Rate for that Loan Group will be identified with N%.
If two or more Loan Groups have the fifth lowest Group Interest Rate pick one for this
purpose, subject to the restriction that each Loan Group may be picked only once in the
course of any such selections pursuant to paragraphs A through E or this definition.
Second, apply the Generic Solution set forth below to determine the Class Y Principal
Reduction Amounts for the Distribution Date using the identifications made above.

The purpose of the foregoing definitional provisions together with the related provisions

Amounts is to accomplish the following goals in the following order of priority:
1. Making the ratio of (Yn - XXx ) to (Y11 - AY11 ) equal to (gamma)1 after taking
account of the allocation Realized Losses and the distributions that will be made
through the end of the Distribution Date to which such provisions relate and assuring
that the Principal Reduction Amount for each of the Class YAA, Class YBB, Class YCC,
Class YDD, Class XXX, Class ZAA, Class ZBB, Class ZCC, Class ZDD and Class ZEE
Regular Interests is greater than or equal to zero for such Distribution Date;
2. Making the Class YAA Uncertificated Balance less than or equal to 0.0005 of the sum
of the Class YAA and Class ZAA Uncertificated Balances, the Class YBB Uncertificated
Balance less than or equal to 0.0005 of the sum of the Class YBB and Class ZBB
Uncertificated Balances, the Class YCC Uncertificated Balance less than or equal to
0.0005 of the sum of the Class YCC and Class ZCC Uncertificated Balances, the Class
YDD Uncertificated Balance less than or equal to 0.0005 of the sum of the Class YDD
and Class ZDD Uncertificated Balances and the Class XXX Uncertificated Balance less
than or equal to 0.0005 of the sum of the Class XXX and Class ZEE Uncertificated
Balances in each case after giving effect to allocations of Realized Losses and
distributions to be made through the end of the Distribution Date to which such
provisions relate; and
3. Making the larger of (a) the fraction whose numerator is (Yn - XXx ) and whose
denominator is the sum of (Yn - XXx) and (Zn - AZn) and (b) the fraction whose
numerator is (Y11 - AY11) and whose denominator is the sum of (Y11 - AY11) and (Z11 -
AZ11) as large as possible while remaining less than or equal to 0.0005.
In the event of a failure of the foregoing portion of the definition of ClassY Principal

The purpose of the foregoing definitional provisions together with the related provisions
allocating Realized Losses and defining the Class Y and Class Z Principal Distribution
Amounts is to accomplish the following goals in the following order of priority:
1. Making the ratio of (Y42 - (DELTA)Y42 ) to (Yj - (DELTA)Yj ) equal to (gamma)4 after
taking account of the allocation Realized Losses and the distributions that will be
made through the end of the Distribution Date to which such provisions relate and
assuring that the Principal Reduction Amount for each of the Class YAA, Class YBB,
Class YCC, Class YDD, Class XXX, Class ZAA, Class ZBB, Class ZCC, Class ZDD and Class
ZEE Regular Interests is greater than or equal to zero for such Distribution Date;
2. Making the Class YAA Uncertificated Balance less than or equal to 0.0005 of the sum
of the Class YAA and Class ZAA Uncertificated Balances, the Class YBB Uncertificated
Balance less than or equal to 0.0005 of the sum of the Class YBB and Class ZBB
Uncertificated Balances, the Class YCC Uncertificated Balance less than or equal to
0.0005 of the sum of the Class YCC and Class ZCC Uncertificated Balances, the Class
YDD Uncertificated Balance less than or equal to 0.0005 of the sum of the Class YDD
and Class ZDD Uncertificated Balances and the Class XXX Uncertificated Balance less
than or equal to 0.0005 of the sum of the Class XXX and Class ZEE Uncertificated
Balances, in each case, after giving effect to allocations of Realized Losses and
distributions to be made through the end of the Distribution Date to which such
provisions relate; and
3. Making the larger of (a) the fraction whose numerator is (Y42 - (DELTA)Y42 ) and
whose denominator is the sum of (Y42 - (DELTA)Y42) and (Z42 - (DELTA)Z42) and (b) the
fraction whose numerator is (Yj - (DELTA)Yj) and whose denominator is the sum of (Yj
- (DELTA)Yj) and (Zj - (DELTA)Zj) as large as possible while remaining less than or
equal to 0.0005.
In the event of a failure of the foregoing portion of the definition of ClassY Principal
Reduction Amount to accomplish both of goals 1 and 2 above, the amounts thereof should be
adjusted to so as to accomplish such goals within the requirement that each Class Y
Principal Reduction Amount must be less than or equal to the sum of (a) the principal
portion of Realized Losses to be allocated on the related Distribution Date for the related
Pool and (b) the remainder of the Available Distribution Amount for the related Loan Group
or after reduction thereof by the distributions to be made on such Distribution Date in
respect of interest on the related Class Y and Class Z Regular Interests, or, if both of
such goals cannot be accomplished within such requirement, such adjustment as is necessary
shall be made to accomplish goal 1 within such requirement. In the event of any conflict
among the provisions of the definition of the Class Y Principal Reduction Amounts, such
conflict shall be resolved on the basis of the goals and their priorities set forth above
within the requirement set forth in the preceding sentence. If the formula allocation of
(DELTA)Y42 among (DELTA)Yk, (DELTA)Yl, (DELTA)Ym and (DELTA)Yn cannot be achieved because
one or more of (DELTA)Yk, (DELTA)Yl, (DELTA)Ym and (DELTA)Yn, as so defined, is greater than
the related one of (DELTA)Pk, (DELTA)Pl, (DELTA)Pm and (DELTA)Pn, such an allocation shall
be made as close as possible to the formula allocation within the requirement that (DELTA)Yk
less than (DELTA)Pk, (DELTA)Yl less than (DELTA)Pl, (DELTA)Ym less than (DELTA)Pm and (DELTA)Yn less than (DELTA)Pn.
NOTES:
1. Classes YAA and ZAA are related to the Group AA loans. The sum of the Uncertificated
Balances for the Class YAA and Class ZAA Regular Interests is equal to the aggregate stated
principal balance of the Group AA Loans. Classes YBB and ZBB are related to the Group BB
loans. The sum of the Uncertificated Balances for the Class YBB and Class ZBB Regular
Interests is equal to the aggregate stated principal balance of the Group BB Loans. Classes
YCC and ZCC are related to the Group CC loans. The sum of the Uncertificated Balances for
the Class YCC and Class ZCC Regular Interests is equal to the aggregate stated principal
balance of the Group CC Loans. Classes YDD and ZDD are related to the Group DD loans. The
sum of the Uncertificated Balances for the Class YDD and Class ZDD Regular Interests is
equal to the aggregate stated principal balance of the Group DD Loans. Classes XXX and ZEE
are related to the Group EE loans. The sum of the Uncertificated Balances for the Class XXX
and Class ZEE Regular Interests is equal to the aggregate stated principal balance of the
Group EE Loans. The Y and Z classes will be principal and interest classes bearing interest
at the Net WAC Rate for the related Loan Group.
2. The Class CB pass-through rate is the weighted average of the pass-through rates on
the Class YAA, Class YBB, Class YCC, Class YDD and Class XXX Regular Interests.

without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of Certificates.

to the Class B-[__] Certificates with respect to the Trust Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of one- to four-family hybrid
adjustable rate first mortgage loans formed and sold by
RESIDENTIAL ASSET MORTGAGE PRODUCTS, INC.
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does
not represent an obligation of or interest in Residential Asset Mortgage Products, Inc., the
Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or GMAC Mortgage Group, Inc. or any of their
affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or
insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Residential Asset Mortgage
Products, Inc., the Servicer, the Trustee or GMAC Mortgage Group, Inc. or any of their
affiliates. None of the Company, the Servicer, the Trustee, GMAC Mortgage Group, Inc. or
any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other
obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that [ ] is the registered owner of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Certificate Principal Balance of
this Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all Class B-[__]
Certificates, both as specified above) in certain distributions with respect to a Trust Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of one- to four-family hybrid adjustable rate first mortgage
loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and sold by Residential Asset Mortgage Products, Inc.
(hereinafter called the "Company," which term includes any successor entity under the
Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the "Agreement") among the Company, the
Servicer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as trustee (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, a distribution will be made on the
19th day of each month or, if such 19th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first Distribution Date
specified above, to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of
business on last day of the related Interest Accrual Period (the "Record Date"), from the
Available Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount of interest and principal, if any required to
be distributed to Holders of Class B-[__] Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate will be made either by the Trustee or by a
Paying Agent appointed by the Trustee in immediately available funds (by wire transfer or
otherwise) for the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so
notified the Trustee or such Paying Agent, or by check mailed 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 of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in such
notice. The Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above.
The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of the distributions
allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto.
No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of this Class B-[__]
Certificate will be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any
applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. In the
event that such a transfer is to be made, either (i) (A) the Trustee shall require an
opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Company that such transfer is exempt (describing the applicable exemption and the basis
therefor) from or is being made pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and of any applicable statute of any state and (B) the Trustee
shall require the transferee to execute a representation letter in the form described by the
Agreement, and the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a representation letter
in the form described by the Agreement, each acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee certifying to the Company and the Trustee the
facts surrounding such transfer, which representation letters shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, the Company or the Servicer; provided, however, that such representation letters
shall not be required in connection with any transfer of this Class B-[__] Certificate by
the Company or any affiliate thereof to the Company or an affiliate of the Company, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the
request of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Company, of the status
of such transferee as an affiliate of the Company, or (ii) the prospective transferee of
this Class B-[__] Certificate shall be required to provide the Trustee, the Company and the
Servicer with an investment letter substantially in the form described in the Agreement (or
such other form as the Company in its sole discretion deems acceptable), which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Company or the Servicer, and which
investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee (A) is a "qualified
institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own account or the accounts
of other "qualified institutional buyers" as defined under Rule 144A, and (B) is aware that
the proposed transferor intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Rule 144A. The Holder hereof
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Company, the Servicer and the Certificate Registrar acting on behalf of the Trustee 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. In connection with any such transfer, the Trustee will
also require either (i) an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, the Company and the Servicer with respect to the permissibility
of such transfer under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and stating, among
other things, that the transferee's acquisition of a Class B-[__] Certificate will not
constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code or (ii) a representation letter, in the form as described by the
Agreement, either stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan
subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a
"Plan"), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee
of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with
"plan assets" of any Plan, or stating that the transferee is an insurance company, the
source of funds to be used by it to purchase the Certificate (or interest therein) is an
"insurance company general account" (within the meaning of Department of Labor Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60), and conditions set forth in Sections I and III
of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in
several Classes designated as GMACM Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified hereon (herein collectively called the "Certificates").
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and
in the Agreement. In the event Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement,
from related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash that would have been
distributable to Certificateholders.
As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Custodial Account and/or
the Payment Account created for the benefit of Certificateholders may be made by the
Servicer from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such
purposes including without limitation reimbursement to the Servicer of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, by it.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company, the
Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any
time by the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing in the aggregate not less than 66% of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected thereby. 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 the
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain circumstances
without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of 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 Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of authorized
denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement
and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same Class and aggregate Percentage
Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any
agent of the Company, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the
Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and neither the Company, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such
agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement in respect of the Certificates and
the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of all
amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last
Mortgage Loan subject thereto or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure
or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) the purchase by the Servicer
from the Trust Fund of all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
such Mortgage Loans, thereby effecting early retirement of the Certificates. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the Servicer to (i) purchase at a price determined as
provided in the Agreement all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect
of any Mortgage Loan or (ii) purchase in whole, but not in part, all of the Certificates
from the Holders thereof; provided, that any such option may only be exercised if the Pool
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Distribution Date upon which the
proceeds of any such purchase are distributed is less than ten percent of the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Certificate Registrar, 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 Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

evidencing a percentage interest in any distributions allocable
to the Class R Certificates with respect to the Trust Fund
consisting primarily of a pool of one- to four-family hybrid
adjustable rate first mortgage loans formed and sold by
RESIDENTIAL ASSET MORTGAGE PRODUCTS, INC.
This Certificate is payable solely from the assets of the Trust Fund, and does
not represent an obligation of or interest in Residential Asset Mortgage Products, Inc., the
Servicer, the Trustee referred to below or GMAC Mortgage Group, Inc. or any of their
affiliates. Neither this Certificate nor the underlying Mortgage Loans are guaranteed or
insured by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by Residential Asset Mortgage
Products, Inc., the Servicer, the Trustee or GMAC Mortgage Group, Inc. or any of their
affiliates. None of the Company, the Servicer, the Trustee, GMAC Mortgage Group, Inc. or
any of their affiliates will have any obligation with respect to any certificate or other
obligation secured by or payable from payments on the Certificates.
This certifies that [ ] [GMAC MORTGAGE CORPORATION] is the registered owner
of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the Initial
Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate by the aggregate Initial Certificate
Principal Balance of all Class R Certificates, both as specified above) in certain
distributions with respect to the Trust Fund consisting primarily of a pool of one- to
four-family hybrid adjustable rate first mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), formed and
sold by Residential Asset Mortgage Products, Inc. (hereinafter called the "Company," which
term includes any successor entity under the Agreement referred to below). The Trust Fund
was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as specified above (the
"Agreement") among the Company, the Servicer and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association,
as trustee (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, a distribution will be made on the
19th day of each month or, if such 19th day is not a Business Day, the Business Day
immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing as described in the Agreement,
to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on last
day of the related Interest Accrual Period (the "Record Date"), from the Available
Distribution Amount in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced
by this Certificate and the amount of interest and principal, if any required to be
distributed to Holders of Class R Certificates on such Distribution Date.
Each Holder of this Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by
the restrictions set forth in the Agreement to the effect that (i) each person holding or
acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate must be a United States Person and a
Permitted Transferee, (ii) the transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate will
be conditioned upon the delivery to the Trustee of, among other things, an affidavit to the
effect that it is a United States Person and Permitted Transferee, (iii) any transfer of any
Ownership Interest in this Certificate will satisfy either the "asset test" as set forth in
Section 1.860E-1(C)(5) of the Treasury regulations or the "formula test" as set forth in
Section 1.860E-1(C)(7) of the Treasury regulations, (iv) any attempted or purported transfer
of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be
absolutely null and void and will vest no rights in the purported transferee, and (v) if any
person other than a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee acquires any Ownership
Interest in this Certificate in violation of such restrictions, then the Company will have
the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to the Holder of this Certificate, to
sell this Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Company, which purchaser may be the
Company, or any affiliate of the Company, on such terms and conditions as the Company may
choose.
Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be
made after due notice of the pendency of such distribution and only upon presentation and
surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in such
notice. The Initial Certificate Principal Balance of this Certificate is set forth above.
The Certificate Principal Balance hereof will be reduced to the extent of distributions
allocable to principal and any Realized Losses allocable hereto. Notwithstanding the
reduction of the Certificate Principal Balance hereof to zero, this Certificate will remain
outstanding under the Agreement and the Holder hereof may have additional obligations with
respect to this Certificate, including tax liabilities, and may be entitled to certain
additional distributions hereon, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Agreement.
No transfer of this Class R Certificate will be made unless the Trustee has
received either (i) an opinion of counsel acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, the Company and the Servicer with respect to the permissibility
of such transfer under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and stating, among
other things, that the transferee's acquisition of a Class R Certificate will not constitute
or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code or (ii) a representation letter, in the form as described by the Agreement,
stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a "Plan"), or any
other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan)
acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with "plan
assets" of any Plan.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates issued in
several Classes designated as GMACM Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series
specified hereon (herein collectively called the "Certificates"). This Class R Certificate
represents the interest of the Component I and Component II of the Class R Certificates
pursuant to the Agreement.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and
in the Agreement. In the event Servicer funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Servicer, to the extent provided in the Agreement,

purposes including without limitation reimbursement to the Servicer of advances made, or
certain expenses incurred, by it.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
of the Agreement and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company, the
Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any
time by the Company, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of

herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the
Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof in certain circumstances
without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates and, in certain additional
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of certain Classes of 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

appointed by the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons
in Classes and in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement

Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or

This Certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the

STATE OF )
) ss.:
COUNTY OF )
[NAME OF OFFICER], being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. That he is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner] (record or beneficial owner of the
GMACM Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-AR2, Class R (the "Owner")), a
[savings institution] [corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the State
of ] [the United States], on behalf of which he makes
this affidavit and agreement.
2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a "disqualified organization" as of [date
of transfer] within the meaning of Sections 860E(e)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), (ii) will endeavor to remain other than a disqualified organization
for so long as it retains its ownership interest in the Class R Certificates, and (iii) is
acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own account or for the account of another Owner
from which it has received an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this
affidavit and agreement. (For this purpose, a "disqualified organization" means an electing
large partnership under Section 775 of the Code, 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. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of Class R
Certificates to disqualified organizations, under the Code, that applies to all transfers of
Class R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor
(or, with respect to transfers to electing large partnerships, on each such partnership),
or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a disqualified organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person (other than
with respect to transfers to electing large partnerships) 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 not a disqualified organization and, at the time of transfer, such
person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R
Certificates may be "noneconomic residual interests" within the meaning of Treasury
regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such
residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
4. That the Owner understands that, as the holder of a "noneconomic residual interest"
the Owner may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest
and that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding the residual interest as
they become due.
5. That the owner will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable
to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an applicable
income tax treaty) of the Owner or another U.S. taxpayer.
6. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding Class R
Certificates if either the pass-through entity is an electing large partnership under
Section 775 of the Code or at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a
disqualified organization 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.)
7. 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 (except in the case of a partnership, to the extent provided
in Treasury regulations), or an estate that is described in Section 7701(a)(30)(D) of the
Code, or a trust that is described in Section 7701(a)(30)(E) of the Code.
8. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the transfer of any
Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferee's agent, delivers to it an
affidavit and agreement, among other things, in substantially the same form as this
affidavit and agreement. 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.
9. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Class R
Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(f) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in particular, clause (iii)(A) and
(iii)(B) of Section 5.02(f) 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 the Owner
holds such Certificates in violation of Section 5.02(f)). The Owner expressly agrees to be
bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.
10. That 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 not a disqualified organization.
11. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is .
12. This affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R Certificates held by the
Owner and not to any other holder of the Class R Certificates. The Owner understands that
the liabilities described herein relate only to the Class R Certificates.
13. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of the Class R
Certificates by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
14. That 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.
In this regard, the Owner hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person from whom
it acquired the Class R Certificate that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with
holding such Class R Certificate as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur
tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificate.
15. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will become insolvent
or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any of the Class R Certificates remain
outstanding.
16. The Owner is not an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the prohibited
transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")
(each such Owner, a "Plan"), or an investment manager, named fiduciary or a trustee of any
such plan, or any other Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing
any Certificate with "plan assets" of any Plan within the meaning of the Department of Labor
regulation at 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101.
17. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it makes of the Class R
Certificates, deliver to the Trustee a representation letter substantially in the form of
Exhibit G-2 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Owner hereby agrees that it will
not make any transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transfer is in compliance with
the conditions set forth in paragraph 3 of Exhibit G-2 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Owner has caused this instrument to be executed on its
behalf, pursuant to the authority of its Board of Directors, by its [Title of Officer] and

Re: GMACM Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2006-AR2, Class R
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by
(the "Seller") to (the "Purchaser") of
$ Initial Certificate Principal Balance of GMACM Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2006-AR2, Class R (the "Certificates"), pursuant to Section 5.02 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated as of March
30, 2006 among Residential Asset Mortgage Products, Inc., as seller (the "Company"), GMAC
Mortgage Corporation, as servicer, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as trustee
(the "Trustee"). All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Seller hereby certifies, represents
and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company and the Trustee that:
1. No purpose of the Seller relating to the transfer of the Certificate by the Seller to
the Purchaser is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
2. The Seller understands that the Purchaser has delivered to the Trustee and the
Servicer a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement as Exhibit G-1. The Seller does not know or believe that any
representation contained therein is false.
3. The Seller has at the time of the transfer 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 Seller has determined that the
Purchaser has historically paid its debts as they become 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 and either (A) has determined all of the following (1)(I) at the time of
the transfer, and at the close of each of the Purchaser's two fiscal years preceding the
year of transfer, the Purchaser's gross assets for financial reporting purposes exceed $100
million and its net assets for such purposes exceed $10 million (disregarding, for purposes
of determining gross or net assets, the obligation of any person related to the Purchaser
within the meaning of Section 8601(g) of the Code or any other asset if a principal purpose
for holding or acquiring that asset is to permit the Purchaser to satisfy this minimum gross
asset or net asset requirement), (II) the Purchaser is a domestic C corporation for United
States federal income tax purposes that is not for such purposes an exempt corporation, a
regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, a REMIC, or a cooperative
organization to which part I of subchapter T of the Code applies, (III) there are no facts
or circumstances on or before the date of transfer (or anticipated) which would reasonably
indicate that the taxes associated with the Class R Certificates will not be paid, (IV) the
Purchaser is not a foreign branch of a domestic corporation, and (V) the transfer does not
involve a transfer or assignment to a foreign branch of a domestic corporation (or any other
arrangement by which any Class R Certificate is at any time subject to net tax by a foreign
country or U.S. possession) and the Purchaser will not hereafter engage in any such transfer
or assignment (or any such arrangement) and (2) does not know or have reason to know that
the Purchaser will not honor the restrictions on subsequent transfers of any Class R
Certificates as described in paragraph 15 of the Form of Transfer Affidavit and Agreement,
or (B) the Seller has determined that the present value of the anticipated tax liabilities
associated with the holding of the Class R Certificate does not exceed the sum of (1) the
present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire the Certificate, (2)
the present value of the expect future distributions on the Class R Certificate, and (3) the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding the Class R Certificate
as the REMIC generates losses (having made such determination by (I) assuming the Purchaser
pays tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified in Section 11(b)(1) of the
Code, and (II) utilizing a discount rate for present valuations equal to the applicable
Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code compounded semi-annually (or a lower
discount rate based on the Purchaser having demonstrated that it regularly borrows, in the
course of its trade or business, substantial funds at such lower rate from unrelated third
parties). The Seller understands that the transfer of a Class R Certificate may not be
respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Seller may continue to be liable
for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Seller has conducted such an
investigation.
4. The Seller has no actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not both a United
States Person and a Permitted Transferee.

interest in any Certificate or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d)
make any general solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner or (e)
take any other action, that (as to any of (a) through (e) above) would constitute a
distribution of any Certificate under the Act, that would render the disposition of any
Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Act or any state securities law, or that would
require registration or qualification pursuant thereto. The Purchaser will not sell or
otherwise transfer any of the Certificates, except in compliance with the provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
6. The Purchaser:
(a) is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction
