THIS POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, dated as of May 1, 2003, among
CWMBS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the "Depositor"),
COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., a New York corporation, as seller (the
"Seller"), COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS SERVICING LP, a Texas limited partnership,
as master servicer (the "Master Servicer"), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK, a

WITNESSETH THAT
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor is the owner of the Trust Fund that is hereby conveyed
to the Trustee in return for the Certificates. As provided herein, the Trustee
will elect that the Trust Fund, other than the Reserve Fund, Rounding Account,
Supplemental Loan Account and Capitalized Interest Account, will consist of
three real estate mortgage investment conduits (each a "REMIC" or, in the
alternative, the "Lower Tier REMIC," the "Middle Tier REMIC," and the "Master
REMIC," respectively). Each Certificate, other than the Class A-R Certificate,
will represent ownership of one or more regular interests in the Master REMIC
for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class A-R Certificate represents
ownership of the sole class of residual interest in the Lower Tier REMIC, the
Middle Tier REMIC, and the Master REMIC. The Master REMIC will hold as assets
the several classes of uncertificated Middle Tier REMIC Interests (other than
the Class MTR-A-R Interest). The Middle Tier REMIC will hold as assets the
several classes of uncertificated Lower Tier REMIC Interests (other than the
Class LT-A-R Interest). The Lower Tier REMIC will hold as assets all property
of the Trust Fund (except for the Supplemental Loan Account and Capitalized
Interest Account). Each Lower Tier REMIC Interest (other than the Class LT-A-R
Interest) is hereby designated as a regular interest in the Lower Tier REMIC.
Each Middle Tier REMIC Interest (other than the Class MTR-A-R Interest) is
hereby designated as a regular interest in the Middle Tier REMIC. The latest
possible maturity date, for federal income tax purposes, of all REMIC regular
interests created herein shall be the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
The following table sets forth characteristics of the Master REMIC
Certificates, together with the minimum denominations and integral multiples
in excess thereof in which such Classes shall be issuable (except that one
Certificate of each Class of Certificates may be issued in a different amount
and, in addition, one Residual Certificate representing the Tax Matters Person
Certificate may be issued in a different amount):

Mortgage, (b) all interim recorded assignments or (c) the lender's title
policy (together with all riders thereto) satisfying the requirements of
clause (ii), (iii) or (v) above, respectively, concurrently with the execution
and delivery hereof because such document or documents have not been returned
from the applicable public recording office in the case of clause (ii) or
(iii) above, or because the title policy has not been delivered to either the
Master Servicer or the Depositor by the applicable title insurer in the case
of clause (v) above, the Depositor shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, in
the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, such original Mortgage or such interim
assignment, as the case may be, with evidence of recording indicated thereon
upon receipt thereof from the public recording office, or a copy thereof,
certified, if appropriate, by the relevant recording office, but in no event
shall any such delivery of the original Mortgage and each such interim
assignment or a copy thereof, certified, if appropriate, by the relevant
recording office, be made later than one year following the Closing Date, or,
in the case of clause (v) above, no later than 120 days following the Closing
Date; provided, however, in the event the Depositor is unable to deliver by
such date each Mortgage and each such interim assignment by reason of the fact
that any such documents have not been returned by the appropriate recording
office, or, in the case of each such interim assignment, because the related
Mortgage has not been returned by the appropriate recording office, the
Depositor shall deliver such documents to the Trustee as promptly as possible
upon receipt thereof and, in any event, within 720 days following the Closing
Date. The Depositor shall forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee (a)
from time to time additional original documents evidencing an assumption or
modification of a Mortgage Loan and (b) any other documents required to be
delivered by the Depositor or the Master Servicer to the Trustee. In the event
that the original Mortgage is not delivered and in connection with the payment
in full of the related Mortgage Loan and the public recording office requires
the presentation of a "lost instruments affidavit and indemnity" or any
equivalent document, because only a copy of the Mortgage can be delivered with
the instrument of satisfaction or reconveyance, the Master Servicer shall
execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such a document to
the public recording office. In the case where a public recording office
retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case where a Mortgage is lost
after recordation in a public recording office, the Seller shall deliver to
the Trustee a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office
to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage.
As promptly as practicable subsequent to such transfer and
assignment, and in any event, within thirty (30) days thereafter, the Trustee
shall (i) as the assignee thereof, affix the following language to each
assignment of Mortgage: "CWMBS Series 2003-20, The Bank of New York, as
trustee", (ii) cause such assignment to be in proper form for recording in the
appropriate public office for real property records and (iii) cause to be
delivered for recording in the appropriate public office for real property
records the assignments of the Mortgages to the Trustee, except that, with
respect to any assignments of Mortgage as to which the Trustee has not
received the information required to prepare such assignment in recordable
form, the Trustee's obligation to do so and to deliver the same for such
recording shall be as soon as practicable after receipt of such information
and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt
II-3
thereof and that the Trustee need not cause to be recorded any assignment
which relates to a Mortgage Loan (a) the Mortgaged Property and Mortgage File
relating to which are located in California or (b) in any other jurisdiction
(including Puerto Rico) under the laws of which in the opinion of counsel the
recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee's and
the Certificateholders' interest in the related Mortgage Loan.
In the case of Mortgage Loans that have been prepaid in full as of
the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents to
the Trustee, will deposit in the Certificate Account the portion of such
payment that is required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant
to Section 3.05 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within
thirty (30) days after the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans, the Seller shall either (i) deliver to the Depositor, or at the
Depositor's direction, to the Trustee or other designee of the Depositor the
Mortgage File as required pursuant to this Section 2.01 for each Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) (A) substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for
the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase the Delay Delivery Mortgage
Loan, which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished in the manner and
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03 (treating each Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for purposes of such Section
2.03); provided, however, that if the Seller fails to deliver a Mortgage File
for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the thirty (30) day period
provided in the prior sentence, the Seller shall use its best reasonable
efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such Deleted
Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided for in
Section 2.02 or in Section 2.03 shall not apply to the initial delivery of the
Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather the Seller
shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such failure to deliver. At the end
of such thirty (30) day period the Trustee shall send a Delay Delivery
Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such
thirty (30) day period in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, within
twenty (20) days after a Supplemental Transfer Date with respect to the
Supplemental Mortgage Loans only, the Seller shall either (i) deliver to the
Depositor, or at the Depositor's direction, to the Trustee or other designee
of the Depositor the Mortgage File as required pursuant to this Section 2.01
for each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (ii) (A) substitute a Substitute
Mortgage Loan for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan or (B) repurchase the Delay
Delivery Mortgage Loan, which substitution or repurchase shall be accomplished
in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.03
(treating each Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan as a Deleted Mortgage Loan for
purposes of such Section 2.03); provided, however, that if the Seller fails to
deliver a Mortgage File for any Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan within the twenty
(20) day period provided in the prior sentence, the Seller shall use its best
reasonable efforts to effect a substitution, rather than a repurchase of, such
Deleted Mortgage Loan and provided further that the cure period provided for
in Section 2.02 or in Section 2.03 shall not apply to the initial delivery of
the Mortgage File for such Delay Delivery Mortgage Loan, but rather the Seller
shall have five (5) Business Days to cure such failure to deliver. At the end
of such twenty (20) day period the Trustee shall send a Delay Delivery
Certification for the Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans delivered during such
twenty (20) day period in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.
(d) Subject to the execution and delivery of the related
Supplemental Transfer Agreement as provided in Section 2.01(e) hereof and the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller sells, transfers, assigns,
sets over and otherwise conveys to the Depositor, without recourse, on each
Supplemental Transfer Date, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in
and to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans identified in such Supplemental
Transfer Agreement, including all interest and principal received and
receivable by the Seller on or with respect to such Supplemental Mortgage
Loans on and
II-4
after the related Supplemental Cut-off Date (to the extent not applied in
computing the Cut-off Date Principal Balance thereof) or deposited into the
Certificate Account by the Seller, other than principal and interest due on
such Supplemental Mortgage Loans prior to the related Supplemental Cut-off
Date.
Immediately upon the conveyance of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans
referred to in the preceding paragraph, the Depositor sells, transfers,
assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for benefit of the
Certificateholders, without recourse, all right title and interest in the
Supplemental Mortgage Loans. The Seller has entered into this Agreement in
consideration for the purchase of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and has
agreed to take the actions specified herein. The Depositor, concurrently with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby sells, transfers, assigns
and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the use and benefit of the
Certificateholders, without recourse, all right title and interest in the
portion of the Trust Fund not otherwise conveyed to the Trust Fund pursuant to
Sections 2.01(a) or (b).
(e) Upon five (5) Business Days written notice to the Trustee, the
Depositor, the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer is not the Seller) and
the Rating Agencies, on any other Business Day during the Conveyance Period
designated by the Seller; the Seller, the Depositor and the Trustee shall
complete, execute and deliver a Supplemental Transfer Agreement so long as no
Rating Agency has provided notice that the execution and delivery of such
Supplemental Transfer Agreement will result in a reduction or withdrawal of
the any ratings assigned to the Certificates (without regard to the Class
1-A-4 Policy). After the execution and delivery of such Supplemental Transfer
Agreement, on the Supplemental Transfer Date, the Trustee shall set aside in
the Supplemental Loan Account an amount equal to the Aggregate Supplemental
Purchase Amount.
The transfer of Supplemental Mortgage Loans and the other property
and rights relating to them on a Supplemental Transfer Date is subject to the
satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(i) each Supplemental Mortgage Loan conveyed on such Supplemental
Transfer Date satisfies the representations and warranties applicable to
it under this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to a breach
of a representation or warranty with respect to a Supplemental Mortgage
Loan, the obligation under Section 2.03(c) of this Agreement of the
Seller to cure, repurchase or replace such Supplemental Mortgage Loan
shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such
breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee;
(ii) the Trustee, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co., Incorporated, X.X. Xxxxxx
Securities Inc. and the Rating Agencies are provided with an Opinion of
Counsel or Opinions of Counsel with respect to the tax treatment of the

Agreement or conveyance of the related Supplemental Mortgage Loans does
not result in a reduction or withdrawal of any ratings assigned to the

II-5
(v) the Supplemental Mortgage Loans conveyed on such Supplemental
Transfer Date were selected in a manner reasonably believed not to be
adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders;

respectively;
(viii) following the conveyance of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans
on such Supplemental Transfer Date to the Trust Fund, the characteristics
of the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group will comply with the Pool
Characteristics for that Loan Group (including the permitted variances
listed therein); provided, that for the purpose of making these
calculations, the characteristics for any Initial Mortgage Loan made will
be taken as of the Initial Cut-off Date and the characteristics for any
Supplemental Mortgage Loan will be taken as of the related Supplemental
Cut-off Date;
(ix) neither the Seller nor the Depositor shall be insolvent or
shall be rendered insolvent as a result of such transfer; and
(x) the Depositor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's
Certificate confirming the satisfaction of each of these conditions
precedent.
The Trustee shall not be required to investigate or otherwise verify
compliance with these conditions, except for its own receipt of documents
specified above, and shall be entitled to rely on the required Officer's
Certificate.
(f) Within seven Business Days after each Supplemental Transfer
Date, upon (1) delivery to the Trustee by the Depositor or the Seller of the
Opinions of Counsel referred to in Sections 2.01(e)(ii) and (iii), (2)
delivery to the Trustee by the Seller of a revised Mortgage Loan Schedule
reflecting the Supplemental Mortgage Loans conveyed on such Supplemental
Transfer Date reflecting the Loan Group into which each Supplemental Mortgage
Loan was conveyed and (3) delivery to the Trustee by the Depositor of an
Officer's Certificate confirming the satisfaction of each of the conditions
precedent set forth in this Section 2.01(f), the Trustee shall pay the Seller
the Aggregate Supplemental Transfer Amount for a Loan Group from those funds
that were set aside in the Supplemental Loan Account pursuant to Section
2.01(e). The positive difference, if any, between the Aggregate Supplemental
Transfer Amount for a Loan Group and the Aggregate Supplemental Purchase
Amount for that Loan Group shall be reinvested by the Trustee in the
Supplemental Loan Account and shall remain designated as a portion of the Loan
Group 1 Supplemental Loan Amount, the Loan Group 2 Supplemental Loan Amount or
the Loan Group 3 Supplemental Loan Amount, as applicable.
The Trustee shall not be required to investigate or otherwise verify
compliance with the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph, except
for its own receipt of documents specified above, and shall be entitled to
rely on the required Officer's Certificate.
Within thirty days after the final Supplemental Transfer Date, the
Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee a letter of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants stating on a Loan Group basis whether
or not the Supplemental Mortgage Loans conveyed on such Supplemental Transfer
Date conform to the characteristics in Section 2.01(e)(vi), (vii) and (viii)

SECTION 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee of the Mortgage Loans.
---------------------------------------------
(a) The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the documents identified in
the Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-1 and
declares that it holds and will hold such documents and the other documents
delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it holds or will
hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the
exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The
Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage Notes in
the State of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating Agencies.
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Closing Date to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller an Initial Certification in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-1. Based on its review and examination, and
only as to the documents identified in such Initial Certification, the Trustee
acknowledges that such documents appear regular on their face and relate to
such Initial Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall be under no 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 in the real estate records or that they are other than what they
purport to be on their face.
On or about the thirtieth (30th) day after the Closing Date, the
Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller a
Delay Delivery Certification with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-1, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller a Final
Certification with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit H-1, with any applicable exceptions noted thereon.
If, in the course of such review, the Trustee finds any document
constituting a part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of
Section 2.01, the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final
Certification; provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any
determination as to whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all
right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in and to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable
form or is sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee
thereof under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall
promptly correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so
notified of such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such
defect within such period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the
related Mortgage Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which substitution shall be
accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section
2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee within 90 days from
the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing at the Purchase
Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall such
substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the Closing Date,
except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to
this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any documents
by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between either the
Master Servicer or the Seller and the Trustee over the location or status of
the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall occur within
720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written notice to
each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating each
Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate recording
office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or status of such
Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days thereafter until
the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any such substitution
pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above shall not be effected
prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of Counsel required by
Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant to (a) above shall
not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request
for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. No substitution is
permitted to be made in any
II-7
calendar month after the Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price
for any such Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate
Account on or prior to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the
Distribution Date in the month following the month of repurchase and, upon
receipt of such deposit and certification with respect thereto in the form of
Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the
Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller's request such instruments
of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without
recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller, or a designee, the
Trustee's interest in any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. If pursuant
to the foregoing provisions the Seller repurchases an Initial Mortgage Loan
that is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS
to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to
transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to
be removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS'
rules and regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System
the Seller as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
(b) Upon delivery of the Supplemental Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Supplemental Transfer Agreement, the Trustee shall acknowledge receipt of the
documents identified in any Supplemental Certification in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit F-2 and declare that it will hold such documents and the
other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage Files, and that it
will hold such other assets as are included in the Trust Fund, in trust for
the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The Trustee acknowledges that it will maintain possession of the Mortgage
Notes in the State of California, unless otherwise permitted by the Rating
Agencies.
The Trustee agrees to execute and deliver on the Supplemental
Transfer Date to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller a
Supplemental Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F-2. Based on
its review and examination, and only as to the documents identified in such
Supplemental Certification, the Trustee shall acknowledge that such documents
appear regular on their face and relate to such Supplemental Mortgage Loan.
The Trustee shall be under no 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 in the real estate records or that
they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
On or about the twentieth (20th) day after the Supplemental Transfer
Date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Seller a Delay Delivery Certification with respect to the Supplemental
Mortgage Loans in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G-2, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon.
Not later than 90 days after the final Supplemental Transfer Date,
the Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller
a Final Certification with respect to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit H-2, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
If, in the course of such review of the Mortgage Files relating to
the Supplemental Mortgage Loans, the Trustee finds any document constituting a
part of a Mortgage File which does not meet the requirements of Section 2.01,
the Trustee shall list such as an exception in the Final Certification;
provided, however that the Trustee shall not make any determination as to
whether (i) any endorsement is sufficient to transfer all right, title and
interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee thereof, in and
to that Mortgage Note or (ii) any assignment is in recordable form or is
sufficient to effect the assignment of and transfer to the assignee thereof
under the mortgage to which the assignment relates. The Seller shall promptly
correct or cure such defect within 90 days from the date it was so notified of
such defect and, if the Seller does not correct or cure such defect within
such period, the Seller shall either (a) substitute for the related Mortgage
Loan a Substitute Mortgage Loan, which
II-8
substitution shall be accomplished in the manner and subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 2.03, or (b) purchase such Mortgage Loan from the Trustee
within 90 days from the date the Seller was notified of such defect in writing
at the Purchase Price of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in no
event shall such substitution or purchase occur more than 540 days from the
Closing Date, except that if the substitution or purchase of a Mortgage Loan
pursuant to this provision is required by reason of a delay in delivery of any
documents by the appropriate recording office, and there is a dispute between
either the Master Servicer or the Seller and the Trustee over the location or
status of the recorded document, then such substitution or purchase shall
occur within 720 days from the Closing Date. The Trustee shall deliver written
notice to each Rating Agency within 270 days from the Closing Date indicating
each Mortgage Loan (a) which has not been returned by the appropriate
recording office or (b) as to which there is a dispute as to location or
status of such Mortgage Loan. Such notice shall be delivered every 90 days
thereafter until the related Mortgage Loan is returned to the Trustee. Any
such substitution pursuant to (a) above or purchase pursuant to (b) above
shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any substitution pursuant
to (a) above shall not be effected prior to the additional delivery to the
Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit N. No
substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. The Purchase Price for any such Mortgage
Loan shall be deposited by the Seller in the Certificate Account on or prior
to the Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the
month following the month of repurchase and, upon receipt of such deposit and
certification with respect thereto in the form of Exhibit N hereto, the
Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File to the Seller and shall
execute and deliver at the Seller's request such instruments of transfer or
assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be
necessary to vest in the Seller, or a designee, the Trustee's interest in any
Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. If pursuant to the foregoing
provisions the Seller repurchases a Supplemental Mortgage Loan that is a MERS
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall either (i) cause MERS to execute and
deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the
Mortgage from MERS to the Seller and shall cause such Mortgage to be removed
from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules and
regulations or (ii) cause MERS to designate on the MERS(R) System the Seller
as the beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
(c) The Trustee shall retain possession and custody of each Mortgage
File in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee, upon the
execution or receipt thereof, the originals of such other documents or
instruments constituting the Mortgage File as come into the possession of the
Master Servicer from time to time.
(d) It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to
substitute for or to purchase any Mortgage Loan which does not meet the
requirements of Section 2.01 above shall constitute the sole remedy respecting
such defect available to the Trustee, the Depositor and any Certificateholder
against the Seller.
SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Seller and MasterServicer.
------------------------------------------------
(a) The Seller hereby makes the representations and warranties set
forth in (i) Schedule II hereto, and by reference incorporated herein, to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date and
(ii) Schedule III hereto, and by this reference incorporated herein, to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if
so specified therein, as of the Initial Cut-off Date with respect to the
Initial Mortgage Loans and as of the related Supplemental Cut-off Date with
respect to the Supplemental Mortgage Loans.
II-9
(b) The Master Servicer hereby makes the representations and
warranties set forth in Schedule IV hereto, and by this reference incorporated
herein, to the Depositor and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date.
(c) Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii) or a breach of
a representation or warranty with respect to a Supplemental Mortgage Loan
under Section 2.01 (e)(i) that materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt notice thereof to the other parties. The Seller
hereby covenants that within 90 days of the earlier of its discovery or its
receipt of written notice from any party of a breach of any representation or
warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii) and with respect to a breach of
a representation and warranty with respect to a Supplemental Mortgage Loan
under Section 2.01(e)(i) which materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, it shall cure such breach in
all material respects, and if such breach is not so cured, shall, (i) if such
90-day period expires prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date,
remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") from the Trust Fund and
substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage Loan, in the manner and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Section; or (ii) repurchase the affected
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans from the Trustee at the Purchase Price in the
manner set forth below; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant
to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee of the
Opinion of Counsel required by Section 2.05 hereof, if any, and any such
substitution pursuant to (i) above shall not be effected prior to the
additional delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release substantially in
the form of Exhibit N and the Mortgage File for any such Substitute Mortgage
Loan. The Seller shall promptly reimburse the Master Servicer and the Trustee
for any expenses reasonably incurred by the Master Servicer or the Trustee in
respect of enforcing the remedies for such breach. With respect to the
representations and warranties described in this Section which are made to the
best of the Seller's knowledge, if it is discovered by either the Depositor,
the Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and
warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects
the value of the related Mortgage Loan or the interests of the
Certificateholders therein, notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge
with respect to the substance of such representation or warranty, such
inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation or
warranty.
With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller
shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders the
Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of the Mortgage, and such
other documents and agreements as are required by Section 2.01, with the
Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by Section 2.01.
No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month after the
Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect to
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of
the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Seller on the next succeeding
Distribution Date. For the month of substitution, distributions to
Certificateholders will include the monthly payment due on any Deleted
Mortgage Loan for such month and thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to
retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The
Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and
the substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Master
Servicer shall deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. Upon
such substitution, the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to
the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to
have made with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the
date of substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to
Section 2.03(a)(ii) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such
substitution and the deposit to the Certificate Account of the amount required
to be deposited therein in connection with such substitution as described in
the following paragraph, the Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for
the benefit of the Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan
to the Seller and shall execute and deliver at the Seller's direction such
II-10
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest title in the Seller, or its
designee, the Trustee's interest in any Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for
pursuant to this Section 2.03.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute
Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer
will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate principal balance of
all such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than
the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
(after application of the scheduled principal portion of the monthly payments
due in the month of substitution). The amount of such shortage (the
"Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus an amount equal to the aggregate of any
unreimbursed Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account by the Seller on or before the
Distribution Account Deposit Date for the Distribution Date in the month
succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan became
required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.
In the event that the Seller shall have repurchased a Mortgage Loan,
the Purchase Price therefor shall be deposited in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.05 on or before the Distribution Account Deposit Date
for the Distribution Date in the month following the month during which the
Seller became obligated hereunder to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan
and upon such deposit of the Purchase Price, the delivery of the Opinion of
Counsel required by Section 2.05 and receipt of a Request for Release in the
form of Exhibit N hereto, the Trustee shall release the related Mortgage File
held for the benefit of the Certificateholders to such Person, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse,
as shall be necessary to transfer title from the Trustee. It is understood and
agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of any Person to cure,
repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach has occurred and
is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against such Persons respecting
such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor or the Trustee on
their behalf.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section
2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.04. Representations and Warranties of the
Depositor as to the Mortgage Loans.
---------------------------------------
The Depositor hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee with
respect to each Initial Mortgage Loan as of the date hereof or such other date
set forth herein that as of the Closing Date, and following the transfer of
the Initial Mortgage Loans to it by the Seller, the Depositor had good title
to the Initial Mortgage Loans and the Mortgage Notes were subject to no
offsets, defenses or counterclaims.
The Depositor hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Trustee
all of its rights with respect to the Mortgage Loans including, without
limitation, the representations and warranties of the Seller made pursuant to
Section 2.03(a)(ii) hereof, together with all rights of the Depositor to
require the Seller to cure any breach thereof or to repurchase or substitute
for any affected Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties
set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive delivery of the Mortgage Files to
the Trustee. Upon discovery by the Depositor or the Trustee of a breach of any
of the foregoing representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.04
(referred to herein as a "breach"), which breach materially and adversely
affects the interest of the Certificateholders, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the others and to each Rating
Agency.
II-11
SECTION 2.05. Delivery of Opinion of Counsel in Connection with Substitutions.
---------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
substitution pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.03 shall be made more than
90 days after the Closing Date unless the Seller delivers to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be at the expense of
either the Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect
that such substitution will not (i) result in the imposition of the tax on
"prohibited transactions" on the Trust Fund or contributions after the Startup
Date, as defined in Sections 860F(a)(2) and 860G(d) of the Code, respectively,
or (ii) cause each REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC at
any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
(b) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller, the Master
Servicer, or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a
"qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the
party discovering such fact shall promptly (and in any event within five (5)
Business Days of discovery) give written notice thereof to the other parties.
In connection therewith, the Trustee shall require the Seller, at the Seller's
option, to either (i) substitute, if the conditions in Section 2.03(c) with
respect to substitutions are satisfied, a Substitute Mortgage Loan for the
affected Mortgage Loan, or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within
90 days of such discovery in the same manner as it would a Mortgage Loan for a
breach of representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 2.03. The
Trustee shall reconvey to the Seller the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant
hereto in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a
Mortgage Loan repurchased for breach of a representation or warranty contained
in Section 2.03.
SECTION 2.06. Execution and Delivery of Certificates.
---------------------------------------
The Trustee acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the
Trust Fund and, concurrently with such transfer and assignment, has executed
and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates in
authorized denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire
ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and
exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and
future Holders of the Certificates and to perform the duties set forth in this
Agreement to the best of its ability, to the end that the interests of the
Holders of the Certificates may be adequately and effectively protected.
SECTION 2.07. REMIC Matters.
-------------
The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and "latest
possible maturity date" for federal income tax purposes of all interests
created hereby. The "Startup Day" for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall
be the Closing Date. The "tax matters person" with respect to each REMIC
hereunder shall be the Trustee and the Trustee shall hold the Tax Matters
Person Certificate. Each REMIC's fiscal year shall be the calendar year.
SECTION 2.08. Covenants of the Master Servicer.
--------------------------------
The Master Servicer hereby covenants to the Depositor and the
Trustee as follows:
(a) the Master Servicer shall comply in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of
the insurer under each Required Insurance Policy; and
(b) no written information, certificate of an officer, statement
furnished in writing or written report delivered to the Depositor, any
affiliate of the Depositor or the Trustee and prepared by the
II-12
Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement will contain any untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make such
information, certificate, statement or report not misleading.
II-13
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Service Mortgage Loans.
-----------------------------------------
For and on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer
shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement and customary and usual standards of practice of prudent
mortgage loan servicers. In connection with such servicing and administration,
the Master Servicer shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or
through Subservicers as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, subject to the terms
hereof (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the
Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents,
(ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the
Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages (but only in the manner provided in this
Agreement), (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and other Liquidation
Proceeds (which for the purpose of this Section includes any Subsequent
Recoveries), and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the
ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan; provided that
the Master Servicer shall not take any action that is inconsistent with or
prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in any
Mortgage Loan or the rights and interests of the Depositor, the Trustee and
the Certificateholders under this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall
represent and protect the interests of the Trust Fund in the same manner as it
protects its own interests in mortgage loans in its own portfolio in any
claim, proceeding or litigation regarding a Mortgage Loan, and shall not make
or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any Mortgage Loan which
would cause any REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC or
result in the imposition of any tax under Section 860F(a) or Section 860G(d)
of the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master
Servicer, in its own name or in the name of the Depositor and the Trustee, is
hereby authorized and empowered by the Depositor and the Trustee, when the
Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its reasonable judgment, to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificateholders
or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and with respect to the Mortgaged
Properties held for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer
shall prepare and deliver to the Depositor and/or the Trustee such documents
requiring execution and delivery by either or both of them as are necessary or
appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to service and administer the
Mortgage Loans to the extent that the Master Servicer is not permitted to
execute and deliver such documents pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon
receipt of such documents, the Depositor and/or the Trustee shall execute such
documents and deliver them to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer further
is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Subservicer, when the Master 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.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph, the
Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for
the purpose of effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged
Properties, which advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from
related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to Section 3.06, and further
as provided in Section 3.08. The costs incurred by the Master Servicer, if
any, in effecting the timely payments of taxes and assessments on the
Mortgaged Properties and related insurance premiums shall not, for the purpose
of
III-1
calculating monthly distributions to the Certificateholders, be added to
the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding
that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
SECTION 3.02. Subservicing; Enforcement of the Obligations of
Servicers.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) The Master Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any
Mortgage Loan by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided,
however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related
subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans
in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions
taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer in servicing the Mortgage Loans
include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of the Master
Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of
the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements
between the Master Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to actions taken
through a Subservicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated
and liable to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or
liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by
virtue of indemnification from the Subservicer and to the same extent and
under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were
servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans. All actions of each
Subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be
performed as an agent of the Master Servicer with the same force and effect as
if performed directly by the Master Servicer.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be
deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect
to the Mortgage Loans that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether
such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.03. Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of
the Master Servicer.
-----------------------------------------------------
The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations
of the Master Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or
cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer
hereunder and in connection with any such defaulted obligation to exercise the
related rights of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that the Master
Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue
of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. Neither the Trustee nor
the Depositor shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or
failure to act by the Master Servicer nor shall the Trustee or the Depositor
be obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer hereunder or
otherwise.
SECTION 3.04. Trustee to Act as Master Servicer.
-----------------------------------
In the event that the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer
be the Master Servicer hereunder (including by reason of an Event of Default),
the Trustee or its successor shall thereupon assume all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that
the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the Master Servicer pursuant
to Section 3.09 hereof or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master
Servicer hereunder), (ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from
doing so by applicable law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or
substitutions of Mortgage Loans hereunder including, but not limited to,
repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 or
2.03 hereof, (iv) responsible for expenses of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and warranties of
the Master Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to
Section 7.02 hereof. If the Master Servicer shall for
III-2
any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event
of Default), the Trustee or its successor shall succeed to any rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under each subservicing agreement;
provided, however, that, if Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP shall no
longer be the Master Servicer, Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP shall
thereafter continue to be entitled to receive the Excess Master Servicing Fee,
and any successor servicer shall be entitled to receive only the Basic Master
Servicing Fee.
The Master Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the
expense of the Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents
and records relating to each subservicing agreement or substitute subservicing
agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an
accounting of amounts collected or held by it and otherwise use its best
efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the substitute
subservicing agreement to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.05. Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments; Certificate
Account; Distribution Account; Reserve Fund;
Supplemental Loan Account; Capitalized Interest Account.
-------------------------------------------------------
(a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts in accordance
with the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent mortgage
servicers to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of
the Mortgage Loans to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this
Agreement and the terms and provisions of any related Required Insurance
Policy. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master 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 dates for payments due on a Mortgage Note for a period not
greater than 180 days; provided, however, that the Master Servicer cannot
extend the maturity of any such Mortgage Loan past the date on which the final
payment is due on the latest maturing Mortgage Loan as of the Cut-off Date. In
the event of any such arrangement, the Master Servicer shall make Advances on
the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01
during the scheduled period in accordance with the amortization schedule of
such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangements. The Master 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 Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate
Account into which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited
no later than two Business Days after receipt (or, if the current long-term
credit rating of Countrywide is reduced below "A-" by S&P or Xxxxx, xx "X0" by
Xxxxx'x, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily
basis within one Business Day of receipt), except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, the following payments and collections remitted by
Subservicers or received by it in respect of Mortgage Loans subsequent to the
Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest due on the
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 on the Mortgage Loans,
including Principal Prepayments;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans, net
of the Basic Master Servicing Fee and, for so long as Countrywide Home
Loans Servicing LP is the Master Servicer, the related Excess Master
Servicing Fee;
III-3
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds, Subsequent Recoveries and Liquidation
Proceeds, other than proceeds to be applied to the restoration or repair
of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor in accordance with
the Master Servicer's normal servicing procedures;
(iv) any amount required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.05(e) in connection with any losses on Permitted
Investments;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.09(c) and in respect of net monthly rental income
from REO Property pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof;
(vi) all Substitution Adjustment Amounts;
(vii) all Advances made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
4.01; and
(viii) any other amounts required to be deposited hereunder.
In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is subject to a
buydown agreement, on each Due Date for such Mortgage Loan, in addition to the
monthly payment remitted by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall cause
funds to be deposited into the Certificate Account in an amount required to
cause an amount of interest to be paid with respect to such Mortgage Loan
equal to the amount of interest that has accrued on such Mortgage Loan from
the preceding Due Date at the Mortgage Rate net of the Basic Master Servicing
Fee and, for so long as Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP is the Master
Servicer, the related Excess Master Servicing Fee.
The foregoing requirements for remittance by the Master Servicer
shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of prepayment penalties,
late payment charges or assumption fees, if collected, need not be remitted by
the Master Servicer. In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any
amount not required to be remitted, it may at any time withdraw or direct the
institution maintaining the Certificate Account to withdraw such amount from
the Certificate Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
Such withdrawal or direction may be accomplished by delivering written notice
thereof to the Trustee or such other institution maintaining the Certificate
Account which describes the amounts deposited in error in the Certificate
Account. The Master Servicer shall maintain adequate records with respect to
all withdrawals made pursuant to this Section. All funds deposited in the
Certificate Account shall be held in trust for the Certificateholders (other
than any funds attributed to any Excess Master Servicing Fee) until withdrawn
in accordance with Section 3.08.
(c) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Reserve Fund which
shall be an Eligible Account into which there shall have been deposited the
amount of $22,000, respectively, on the Closing Date. No additional funds will
be deposited in the Reserve Fund after the Closing Date. All funds deposited
in the Reserve Fund including interest thereon shall be held in trust for the
benefit of the Holders of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates, until withdrawn in
accordance with Section 3.08. The Reserve Fund shall be an "outside reserve
fund" under the REMIC Provisions that is beneficially owned for all federal
income tax purposes by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated.
(d) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Distribution Account. The Trustee shall, promptly upon
receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:
III-4
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.08(a)(ix);
(ii) any amount deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
3.05(e) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments; and
(iii) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to be
deposited in the Distribution Account.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall remit any amount not
required to be remitted, it may at any time direct the Trustee to withdraw
such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be accomplished by delivering an
Officer's Certificate to the Trustee which describes the amounts deposited in
error in the Distribution Account. All funds deposited in the Distribution
Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the Certificateholders
(other than any funds attributed to any Excess Master Servicing Fee) until
disbursed in accordance with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with
Section 3.08. In no event shall the Trustee incur liability for withdrawals
from the Distribution Account at the direction of the Master Servicer.
(e) Each institution at which the Certificate Account, the Reserve
Fund, the Supplemental Loan Account, the Capitalized Interest Account or the
Distribution Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed
in writing by the Master Servicer in Permitted Investments, which shall mature
not later than (i) in the case of the Certificate Account, the Supplemental
Loan Account or the Capitalized Interest Account or the Reserve Fund, the
second Business Day next preceding the related Distribution Account Deposit
Date (except that if such Permitted Investment is an obligation of the
institution that maintains such account, then such Permitted Investment shall
mature not later than the Business Day next preceding such Distribution
Account Deposit Date) and (ii) in the case of the Distribution Account, the
Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date (except that if such
Permitted Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains such
fund or account, then such Permitted Investment shall mature not later than
such Distribution Date) and, in each case, shall not be sold or disposed of
prior to its maturity. All such Permitted Investments shall be made in the
name of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders. All income and
gain net of any losses realized from any such investment of funds on deposit
in the Certificate Account, or the Distribution Account shall be for the
benefit of the Master Servicer as servicing compensation and shall be remitted
to it monthly as provided herein. The amount of any realized losses in the
Certificate Account or the Distribution Account incurred in any such account
in respect of any such investments shall promptly be deposited by the Master
Servicer in the Certificate Account or paid to the Trustee for deposit into
the Distribution Account, as applicable. All income or gain (net of any
losses) realized from any such investment of funds on deposit in the Reserve
Fund or the Capitalized Interest Account shall be credited to the Reserve Fund
or the Capitalized Interest Account, as applicable. The Trustee in its
fiduciary capacity shall not be liable for the amount of any loss incurred in
respect of any investment or lack of investment of funds held in the
Certificate Account, the Reserve Fund, the Capitalized Interest Account, the
Supplemental Loan Account or the Distribution Account and made in accordance
with this Section 3.05.
(f) The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the
Seller, each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the
location of the Certificate Account or the Reserve Fund prior to any change
thereof. The Trustee shall give notice to the Master Servicer, the Seller,
each Rating Agency and the Depositor of any proposed change of the location of
the Distribution Account, the Capitalized Interest Account, the Supplemental
Loan Account or the Reserve Fund prior to any change thereof.
III-5
(g) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Supplemental Loan Account. On the Closing Date the
Seller shall remit the Supplemental Amount to the Trustee for deposit in the
Supplemental Loan Account. On each Supplemental Transfer Date, upon
satisfaction of the conditions for such Supplemental Transfer Date set forth
in Section 2.01(e), with respect to the related Supplemental Transfer
Agreement, the Trustee shall pay to the Seller the Aggregate Supplemental
Transfer Amount held in escrow pursuant to Section 2.01(e) as payment of the
purchase price for the related Supplemental Mortgage Loans. If at any time the
Depositor becomes aware that the Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance of
Supplemental Mortgage Loans reflected on any Supplemental Transfer Agreement
exceeds the actual Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance of the relevant
Supplemental Mortgage Loans, the Depositor may so notify the Trustee and the
Trustee shall redeposit into the Supplemental Loan Account the excess reported
to it by the Depositor.
If any funds remain in the Supplemental Loan Account at the end of
the Conveyance Period, to the extent that they represent earnings on the
amounts originally deposited into the Supplemental Loan Account, the Trustee
shall distribute them to the order of the Depositor. The remaining funds shall
be transferred to the Distribution Account to be included as part of principal
distributions to the Class PO Certificates, to the extent of the Remaining PO
Supplemental Loan Amount and to the other related Classes of Senior
Certificates, to the extent of the Remaining Non-PO Supplemental Loan Amount,
as applicable.
(h) The Trustee shall establish and maintain, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, the Capitalized Interest Account. On the Closing Date the
Seller shall remit the aggregate Capitalized Interest Requirement to the
Trustee for deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account. On each Distribution
Account Deposit Date related to a Conveyance Period Distribution Date, upon
satisfaction of the conditions for such Supplemental Transfer Date set forth
in Section 2.01(e), with respect to the related Supplemental Transfer
Agreement, the Trustee shall transfer from the Capitalized Interest Account to
the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Capitalized Interest
Requirement (which, to the extent required, may include investment earnings on
amounts on deposit therein) with respect to the amount remaining in the
Supplemental Loan Account for the related Distribution Date as identified by
the Seller in the Supplemental Transfer Agreement.
If any funds remain in the Capitalized Interest Account at the end
of the Conveyance Period, the Trustee shall make the transfer described in the
preceding paragraph if necessary for the remaining Conveyance Period
Distribution Date and the Trustee shall distribute any remaining funds in the
Capitalized Interest Account to the order of the Depositor.
SECTION 3.06. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow Accounts.
--------------------------------------------------
(a) To the extent required by the related Mortgage Note and not
violative of current law, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one
or more accounts (each, an "Escrow Account") and deposit and retain therein
all collections from the Mortgagors (or advances by the Master Servicer) for
the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance premiums or comparable
items for the account of the Mortgagors. Nothing herein shall require the
Master Servicer to compel a Mortgagor to establish an Escrow Account in
violation of applicable law.
(b) Withdrawals of amounts so collected from the Escrow Accounts may
be made only to effect timely payment of taxes, assessments, hazard insurance
premiums, condominium or PUD association dues, or comparable items, to
reimburse the Master Servicer out of related collections for any payments made
pursuant to Sections 3.01 hereof (with respect to taxes and assessments and
insurance premiums) and 3.09 hereof (with respect to hazard insurance), to
refund to any Mortgagors any sums determined to be overages, to pay interest,
if required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage or
III-6
Mortgage Note, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account or to clear and
terminate the Escrow Account at the termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 9.01 hereof. The Escrow Accounts shall not be a part
of the Trust Fund.
(c) The Master Servicer shall advance any payments referred to in
Section 3.06(a) that are not timely paid by the Mortgagors on the date when
the tax, premium or other cost for which such payment is intended is due, but
the Master Servicer shall be required so to advance only to the extent that
such advances, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer, will be
recoverable by the Master Servicer out of Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation
Proceeds or otherwise.
SECTION 3.07. Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans.
------------------------------------------------
The Master Servicer shall afford the Depositor 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 Master Servicer.
Upon reasonable advance notice in writing, the Master Servicer will
provide to each Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner which is a savings
and loan association, bank or insurance company certain reports and reasonable
access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
sufficient to permit such Certificateholder and/or Certificate Owner to comply
with applicable regulations of the OTS or other regulatory authorities with
respect to investment in the Certificates; provided that the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by each such Certificateholder and/or
Certificate Owner for actual expenses incurred by the Master Servicer in
providing such reports and access.
If Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP is not acting as Master
Servicer, the successor Master Servicer shall provide Countrywide Home Loans
Servicing LP with such information as may be necessary to verify the amount of
the Excess Master Servicing Fee for each Distribution Date. If a question
should arise as to the proper amount of the Excess Master Servicing Fee, the
successor Master Servicer shall provide Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP
with access to such books and records and personnel of the successor Master
Servicer as may be necessary to establish the proper amount of the Excess
Master Servicing Fee.
SECTION 3.08. Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account,
the Reserve Fund, the Class 1-A-4 Rounding Account
and the Distribution Account.
---------------------------------------------------
(a) The Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from
the Certificate Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to the Master Servicer (to the extent not previously
retained by the Master Servicer) the servicing compensation to which it
is entitled pursuant to Section 3.14, and to pay to the Master Servicer,
as additional servicing compensation, earnings on or investment income
with respect to funds in or credited to the Certificate Account;

any Nonrecoverable Advance previously made by it;

Advances, the Master Servicer's right to reimbursement pursuant to this

received on such Mortgage Loan(s) which represent late recoveries of the
payments for which such advances were made pursuant to Section 3.01 or
Section 3.06 and (b) for unpaid Basic Master Servicing Fees as provided
in Section 3.11 hereof;
(vi) to pay to the purchaser, with respect to each Mortgage Loan or
property acquired in respect thereof that has been purchased pursuant to
Section 2.02, 2.03 or 3.11, all amounts received thereon after the date

Distribution Date and remit such amount to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account; and
(x) to clear and terminate the Certificate Account upon termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on
a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any

(iv), (v) and (vi). Prior to making any withdrawal from the Certificate
Account pursuant to subclause (iii), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee an Officer's Certificate of a Servicing Officer indicating the amount
of any previous Advance determined by the Master Servicer to be a
Nonrecoverable Advance and identifying the related Mortgage Loans(s), and
their respective portions of such Nonrecoverable Advance.
(b) The Trustee shall withdraw funds from the Distribution Account
for distributions to Certificateholders and MBIA, and for deposits into the
Class 1-A-4 Rounding Account, in the manner specified in this Agreement (and
to withhold from the amounts so withdrawn, the amount of any taxes that it is
authorized to withhold pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 8.11). In
addition, the Trustee may from time to time make withdrawals from the
Distribution Account for the following purposes:
(i) to pay to itself the Trustee Fee for the related Distribution
Date;
(ii) to pay to the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation earnings on or investment income with respect to funds in

therein;
(iv) to reimburse the Trustee for any unreimbursed Advances made by
it pursuant to Section 4.01(b) hereof, such right of reimbursement

Section 3.08(a)(ii) hereof;
(v) to reimburse the Trustee for any Nonrecoverable Advance
previously made by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(b) hereof, such
right of reimbursement pursuant to this subclause (v) being limited to
amounts not otherwise reimbursed to the Trustee pursuant to Section
3.08(a)(iii) hereof;
(iv) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account upon
termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof; and

(i) on or prior to each Distribution Account Deposit Date, to
withdraw from the Reserve Fund an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the
sum of (x) any Class 1-A-4 Prepayment Interest Shortfall for the related

and (b) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01, to

therein to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated. at the address supplied by
it to the Trustee for such purpose.
SECTION 3.09. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Maintenance of
Primary Insurance Policies.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained, for each
Mortgage Loan, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an amount that is at
least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the
improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (y) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (z) an amount such that
the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor
and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. Each such policy of standard
hazard insurance shall contain, or have an accompanying endorsement that
contains, a standard mortgagee clause. Any amounts collected by the Master
Servicer under any such policies (other than the amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged
III-9
Property or amounts released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the Master
Servicer's normal servicing procedures) shall be deposited in the Certificate
Account. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to
the Certificateholders or remittances to the Trustee for their benefit, be
added to the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the
terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit. Such costs shall be recoverable by the
Master Servicer out of late payments by the related Mortgagor or out of
Liquidation Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries to the extent permitted by
Section 3.08 hereof. 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 other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property is located at the
time of origination of the Mortgage Loan in a federally designated special
flood hazard area and such area is participating in the national flood
insurance program, the Master Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be
maintained with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Such flood insurance shall be
in an amount equal to the least of (i) the original principal balance of the
related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the replacement value of the improvements which
are part of such Mortgaged Property, and (iii) the maximum amount of such
insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the national
flood insurance program.
(b) The Master Servicer shall not 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 Master Servicer, would have been covered
thereunder. The Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew any such
Primary Insurance Policy 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 a Qualified Insurer.
Except with respect to any Lender PMI Mortgage Loans, the Master
Servicer shall not be required to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy (i)
with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a Loan-to-Value Ratio less than or
equal to 80% as of any date of determination or, based on a new appraisal, the
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan represents 80% or less of the new
appraised value or (ii) if maintaining such Primary Insurance Policy is
prohibited by applicable law. With respect to the Lender PMI Mortgage Loans,
the Master Servicer shall maintain the Primary Insurance Policy for the life
of such Mortgage Loans, unless otherwise prohibited by law.
The Master Servicer agrees to effect the timely payment of the
premiums on each Primary Insurance Policy, and such costs not otherwise
recoverable shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer from the related
liquidation proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries.
(c) In connection with its activities as Master Servicer of the
Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to present on behalf of itself, the
Trustee and Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Primary
Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as
shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Insurance Policies
respecting defaulted Mortgage Loans. Any amounts collected by the Master
Servicer under any Primary Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account.
SECTION 3.10. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
----------------------------------------------
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, when any property
subject to a Mortgage has been conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer
shall to the extent that it has knowledge of such conveyance, enforce any
due-on-sale clause contained in any Mortgage Note or Mortgage, to the extent
permitted under applicable law and governmental regulations, but only to the
extent that such enforcement will not adversely affect or jeopardize coverage
under any Required
III-10
Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master 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 Master
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 Master Servicer is
authorized, subject to Section 3.10(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 Master Servicer enters such
agreement) by the applicable Required Insurance Policies. The Master Servicer,
subject to Section 3.10(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
Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section by
reason of any transfer or assumption which the Master Servicer reasonably
believes it is restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
(b) Subject to the Master Servicer's duty to enforce any due-on-sale
clause to the extent set forth in Section 3.10(a) hereof, in any case in which
a Mortgaged Property has been conveyed to a Person by a Mortgagor, and such
Person is to enter into an assumption agreement or modification agreement or
supplement to the Mortgage Note or Mortgage that requires the signature of the
Trustee, or if an instrument of release signed by the Trustee is required
releasing the Mortgagor from liability on the Mortgage Loan, the Master
Servicer shall prepare and deliver or cause to be prepared and delivered to
the Trustee for signature and shall direct, in writing, the Trustee to execute
the assumption agreement with the Person to whom the Mortgaged Property is to
be conveyed and such modification agreement or supplement to the Mortgage Note
or Mortgage or other instruments as are reasonable or necessary to carry out
the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise to comply with any
applicable laws regarding assumptions or the transfer of the Mortgaged
Property to such Person. In connection with any such assumption, no material
term of the Mortgage Note may be changed. In addition, the substitute
Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property must be acceptable to the Master Servicer
in accordance with its underwriting standards as then in effect. Together with
each such substitution, assumption or other agreement or instrument delivered
to the Trustee for execution by it, the Master Servicer shall deliver an
Officer's Certificate signed by a Servicing Officer stating that the
requirements of this subsection have been met in connection therewith. The
Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or
assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the
original of such substitution or assumption agreement, which in the case of
the original shall be added to the related Mortgage File and shall, for all
purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all
other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected
by the Master Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of
liability agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional
servicing compensation.
SECTION 3.11. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans; Repurchase
of Certain Mortgage Loans.
-----------------------------------------------------
(a) The Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to foreclose
upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of properties securing such
of the Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default and as to which no
satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments.
In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer
shall follow such
III-11
practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall
be normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and meet the
requirements of the insurer under any Required Insurance Policy; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own
funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the restoration of any
property unless it shall determine (i) that such restoration and/or
foreclosure will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan
after reimbursement to itself of such expenses and (ii) that such expenses
will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds (respecting which it
shall have priority for purposes of withdrawals from the Certificate Account).
The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses
incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be
entitled to reimbursement thereof from the liquidation proceeds and Subsequent
Recoveries with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, as provided in the
definition of Liquidation Proceeds. If the Master Servicer has knowledge that
a Mortgaged Property which the Master Servicer is contemplating acquiring in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is located within a 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 Master Servicer, the Master Servicer will, prior to
acquiring the Mortgaged Property, consider such risks and only take action in
accordance with its established environmental review procedures.
With respect to any REO Property, the deed or certificate of sale
shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Trustee's name shall be placed on the title to such REO Property solely as the
Trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity. The Master Servicer
shall ensure that the title to such REO Property references the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and the Trustee's capacity thereunder. Pursuant to its
efforts to sell such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or
through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such REO
Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality
where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its conservation and
protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any
part thereof, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property. The
Master Servicer shall prepare for and deliver to the Trustee a statement with
respect to each REO Property that has been rented showing the aggregate rental
income received and all expenses incurred in connection with the maintenance
of such REO Property at such times as is necessary to enable the Trustee to
comply with the reporting requirements of the REMIC Provisions. The net
monthly rental income, if any, from such REO Property shall be deposited in
the Certificate Account no later than the close of business on each
Determination Date. The Master Servicer shall perform the tax reporting and
withholding required by Sections 1445 and 6050J of the Code with respect to
foreclosures and abandonments, the tax reporting required by Section 6050H of
the Code with respect to the receipt of mortgage interest from individuals and
any tax reporting required by Section 6050P of the Code with respect to the
cancellation of indebtedness by certain financial entities, by preparing such
tax and information returns as may be required, in the form required, and
delivering the same to the Trustee for filing.
In the event that the Trust Fund acquires any Mortgaged Property as
aforesaid or otherwise in connection with a default or imminent default on a
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall dispose of such Mortgaged Property as
soon as practicable in a manner that maximizes the Liquidation Proceeds
thereof, but in no event later than three years after its acquisition by the
Trust Fund. In that event, the Trustee shall have been supplied with an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such
Mortgaged Property subsequent to a three-year period, if applicable, will not
result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of any REMIC
hereunder as defined in section 860F of the Code or cause any REMIC hereunder
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding, the Trust Fund may continue to hold such Mortgaged Property
(subject to any conditions contained in such Opinion of Counsel) after the
expiration of such three-year period.
III-12
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Mortgaged Property
acquired by the Trust Fund shall be rented (or allowed to continue to be
rented) or otherwise used for the production of income by or on behalf of the
Trust Fund in such a manner or pursuant to any terms that would (i) cause such
Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the
meaning of section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or (ii) subject any REMIC hereunder
to the imposition of any federal, state or local income taxes on the income
earned from such Mortgaged Property under Section 860G(c) of the Code or
otherwise, unless the Master Servicer has agreed to indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust Fund with respect to the imposition of any such taxes.
In the event of a default on a Mortgage Loan one or more of whose
obligor is not a United States Person, as that term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code, in connection with any foreclosure or acquisition of
a deed in lieu of foreclosure (together, "foreclosure") in respect of such
Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will cause 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.
The decision of the Master Servicer to foreclose on a defaulted
Mortgage Loan shall be subject to a determination by the Master Servicer that
the proceeds of such foreclosure would exceed the costs and expenses of
bringing such a proceeding. The income earned from the management of any REO
Properties, net of reimbursement to the Master Servicer for expenses incurred
(including any property or other taxes) in connection with such management and
net of unreimbursed Basic Master Servicing Fees, Advances and Servicing
Advances, shall be applied to the payment of principal of and interest on the
related defaulted Mortgage Loans (with interest accruing as though such
Mortgage Loans were still current) and all such income shall be deemed, for
all purposes in this Agreement, to be payments on account of principal and
interest on the related Mortgage Notes and shall be deposited into the
Certificate Account. 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 partial
prepayment of principal of the related Mortgage Loan.
The proceeds from any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan, as well as any
income from an REO Property, will be applied in the following order of
priority: first, to reimburse the Master Servicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances and Basic Master Servicing Fees; second, to reimburse the
Master Servicer for any unreimbursed Advances; third, to reimburse the
Certificate Account for any Nonrecoverable Advances (or portions thereof) that
were previously withdrawn by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
3.08(a)(iii) that related to such Mortgage Loan; fourth, to accrued and unpaid
interest (to the extent no Advance has been made for such amount or any such
Advance has been reimbursed) on the Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, at
the Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate to the Due Date occurring in the month in which
such amounts are required to be distributed; and fifth, as a recovery of
principal of the Mortgage Loan. Excess Proceeds, if any, from the liquidation
of a Liquidated Mortgage Loan will be retained by the Master Servicer as
additional servicing compensation pursuant to Section 3.14.
The Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to
purchase for its own account from the Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan which is
151 days or more delinquent at a price equal to the Purchase Price; provided,
however, that the Master Servicer may only exercise this right on or before
the next to the last day of the calendar month in which such Mortgage Loan
became 151 days delinquent (such month, the "Eligible Repurchase Month");
provided further, that any such Mortgage Loan which becomes current but
thereafter becomes delinquent may be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant
to this Section in any ensuing Eligible Repurchase Month. The Purchase Price
for any Mortgage Loan
III-13
purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Certificate Account and the
Trustee, upon receipt of a certificate from the Master Servicer in the form of
Exhibit N hereto, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of
such Mortgage Loan the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver
such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the purchaser of such
Mortgage Loan, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in
the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto
and the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall succeed to all the Trustee's
right, title and interest in and to such Mortgage Loan and all security and
documents related thereto. Such assignment shall be an assignment outright and
not for security. The purchaser of such Mortgage Loan shall thereupon own such
Mortgage Loan, and all security and documents, free of any further obligation
to the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect thereto.
(b) The Master Servicer may agree to a modification of any Mortgage
Loan (the "Modified Mortgage Loan") if (i) the modification is in lieu of a
refinancing and (ii) the Mortgage Rate on the Modified Mortgage Loan is
approximately a prevailing market rate for newly-originated mortgage loans
having similar terms and (iii) the Master Servicer purchases the Modified
Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund as described below. Effective immediately
after the modification, and, in any event, on the same Business Day on which
the modification occurs, all interest of the Trustee in the Modified Mortgage
Loan shall automatically be deemed transferred and assigned to the Master
Servicer and all benefits and burdens of ownership thereof, including the
right to accrued interest thereon from the date of modification and the risk
of default thereon, shall pass to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer
shall promptly deliver to the Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer
to the effect that all requirements of this paragraph have been satisfied with
respect to the Modified Mortgage Loan. For federal income tax purposes, the
Trustee shall account for such purchase as a prepayment in full of the
Modified Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer shall deposit the Purchase Price for any
Modified Mortgage Loan in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05
within one Business Day after the purchase of the Modified Mortgage Loan. Upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notification of any such deposit signed by a
Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall release to the Master Servicer the
related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary
to vest in the Master Servicer any Modified Mortgage Loan previously
transferred and assigned pursuant hereto. The Master Servicer covenants and
agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund against any liability for any "prohibited
transaction" taxes and any related interest, additions, and penalties imposed
on the Trust Fund established hereunder as a result of any modification of a
Mortgage Loan effected pursuant to this subsection (b), any holding of a
Modified Mortgage Loan by the Trust Fund or any purchase of a Modified
Mortgage Loan by the Master Servicer (but such obligation shall not prevent
the Master Servicer or any other appropriate Person from in good faith
contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the
Master Servicer from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law,
pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Master Servicer shall have no
right of reimbursement for any amount paid pursuant to the foregoing
indemnification, except to the extent that the amount of any tax, interest,
and penalties, together with interest thereon, is refunded to the Trust Fund
or the Master Servicer.
SECTION 3.12. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
------------------------------------------------
Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the
Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full will be escrowed in a
manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will immediately
notify the Trustee by delivering, or causing to be delivered a "Request for
Release" substantially in the form of Exhibit N. Upon receipt of such request,
the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the Master
Servicer, and the Trustee shall at the Master Servicer's direction execute and
deliver to the Master Servicer the request for reconveyance, deed of
reconveyance
III-14
or release or satisfaction of mortgage or such instrument releasing the lien
of the Mortgage in each case provided by the Master Servicer, together with
the Mortgage Note with written evidence of cancellation thereon. The Master
Servicer is authorized to cause the removal from the registration on the MERS
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. Expenses incurred
in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance
shall be chargeable to the related Mortgagor. From time to time and as shall
be appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan,
including for such purpose, collection under any policy of flood insurance,
any fidelity bond or errors or omissions policy, or for the purposes of
effecting a partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the lien of the
Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
or any of the other documents included in the Mortgage File, the Trustee
shall, upon delivery to the Trustee of a Request for Release in the form of
Exhibit M signed by a Servicing Officer, release the Mortgage File to the
Master Servicer. Subject to the further limitations set forth below, the
Master Servicer shall cause the Mortgage File or documents so released to be
returned to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no
longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan is liquidated and the proceeds thereof
are deposited in the Certificate Account, in which case the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trustee a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit N,
signed by a Servicing Officer.
If the Master Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure
proceeding in respect of any Mortgaged Property as authorized by this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee, for signature, as appropriate, any court pleadings, requests for
trustee's sale or other documents necessary to effectuate such foreclosure or
any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Mortgagor on the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment or to enforce
any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage or
otherwise available at law or in equity.
SECTION 3.13. Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of Master
Servicer to be Held for the Trustee.
----------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall transmit to the Trustee as required by this Agreement all
documents and instruments in respect of a Mortgage Loan coming into the
possession of the Master Servicer from time to time and shall account fully to
the Trustee for any funds received by the Master Servicer or which otherwise
are collected by the Master Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or Subsequent Recoveries in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All
Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the
Master Servicer in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection
of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds and any
Subsequent Recoveries, including but not limited to, any funds on deposit in
the Certificate Account, shall be held by the Master 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
Master Servicer also agrees that it shall not create, incur or subject any
Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in the Certificate Account,
Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any funds that otherwise are or
may become due or payable to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy,
writ of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or
otherwise any claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds
collected on, or in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that
the Master Servicer shall be entitled to set off against and deduct from any
such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement.
III-15
SECTION 3.14. Servicing Compensation.
----------------------
As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to retain or withdraw from the Certificate Account an amount
equal to the sum of the Basic Master Servicing Fee and the Excess Master
Servicing Fee; provided, that the aggregate Basic Master Servicing Fee with
respect to any Distribution Date shall be reduced (i) by an amount equal to
the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, if any, with respect to
such Distribution Date, but not below an amount equal to one-half of the
aggregate Basic Master Servicing Fee for such Distribution Date before
reduction thereof in respect of such Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, and (ii)
with respect to the first Distribution Date, an amount equal to any amount to
be deposited into the Distribution Account by the Depositor pursuant to
Section 2.01(a) and not so deposited; provided further, that if a successor to
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP shall be appointed as Master Servicer for
any reason, the Excess Master Servicing Fee for each Distribution Date
following such appointment shall be paid, pursuant to this Section 3.14, to
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP pursuant to Section 3.08(b)(vii) hereof,
and not to such successor to the Master Servicer.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of Excess Proceeds,
Prepayment Interest Excess, prepayment penalties, assumption fees, late
payment charges and all income and gain net of any losses realized from
Permitted Investments shall be retained by the Master Servicer to the extent
not required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section
3.05 hereof. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its master servicing activities hereunder
(including payment of any premiums for hazard insurance and any Primary
Insurance Policy and maintenance of the other forms of insurance coverage
required by this Agreement) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided in this Agreement.
SECTION 3.15. Access to Certain Documentation.
--------------------------------
The Master Servicer shall provide to the OTS and the FDIC and to
comparable regulatory authorities supervising Holders and/or Certificate
Owners of Subordinated Certificates and the examiners and supervisory agents
of the OTS, the FDIC and such other authorities, access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS and
the FDIC. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon
reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours at the
offices designated by the Master Servicer. Nothing in this Section shall limit
the obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any applicable law
prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors and the failure
of the Master Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a
result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
SECTION 3.16. Annual Statement as to Compliance.
----------------------------------
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee
on or before 80 days after the end of the Master Servicer's fiscal year,
commencing with its 2003 fiscal year, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to
the signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer
during the preceding calendar year and of the performance of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision
and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
Master Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of
any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and
the nature and status thereof. The Trustee shall forward a copy of each such
statement to each Rating Agency.
III-16
SECTION 3.17. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Statement; Financial Statements.
------------------------------------------------
On or before 80 days after the end of the Master Servicer's fiscal
year, commencing with its 2003 fiscal year, the Master Servicer at its expense
shall cause a nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent public
accountants (who may also render other services to the Master Servicer, the
Seller or any affiliate thereof) which is a member of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee and the
Depositor to the effect that such firm has examined certain documents and
records relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement
or of mortgage loans under pooling and servicing agreements substantially
similar to this Agreement (such statement to have attached thereto a schedule
setting forth the pooling and servicing agreements covered thereby) and that,
on the basis of such examination, conducted substantially in compliance with
the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit
Program for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC, such servicing has been
conducted in compliance with such pooling and servicing agreements except for
such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in the opinion of such
firm, the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit
Program for Mortgages serviced for FNMA and FHLMC requires it to report. In
rendering such statement, such firm may rely, as to matters relating to direct
servicing of mortgage loans by Subservicers, upon comparable statements for
examinations conducted substantially in compliance with the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers or the Audit Program for Mortgages
serviced for FNMA and FHLMC (rendered within one year of such statement) of
independent public accountants with respect to the related Subservicer. Copies
of such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder
upon request at the Master Servicer's expense, provided that such statement is
delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.18. Errors and Omissions Insurance; Fidelity Bonds.
-----------------------------------------------
The Master Servicer shall for so long as it acts as master servicer

ARTICLE IV
DISTRIBUTIONS AND
ADVANCES BY THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 4.01. Advances.
---------
(a) The Master Servicer shall determine on or before each Master
Servicer Advance Date whether it is required to make an Advance pursuant to
the definition thereof. If the Master Servicer determines it is required to
make an Advance, it shall, on or before the Master Servicer Advance Date,
either (i) deposit into the Certificate Account an amount equal to the Advance
or (ii) make an appropriate entry in its records relating to the Certificate
Account that any Amount Held for Future Distribution has been used by the
Master Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such Advance. Any
funds so applied shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the
Certificate Account no later than the close of business on the next Master
Servicer Advance Date. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
from the Certificate Account for all Advances of its own funds made pursuant
to this Section as provided in Section 3.08. The obligation to make Advances
with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall continue if such Mortgage Loan has
been foreclosed or otherwise terminated and the related Mortgaged Property has
not been liquidated.
(b) If the Master Servicer determines that it will be unable to
comply with its obligation to make the Advances as and when described in the
second sentence of Section 4.01(a), it shall use its best efforts to give
written notice thereof to the Trustee (each such notice a "Trustee Advance
Notice"; and such notice may be given by telecopy), not later than 3:00 P.M.,
New York time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Master
Servicer Advance Date, specifying the amount that it will be unable to deposit
(each such amount an "Advance Deficiency") and certifying that such Advance
Deficiency constitutes an Advance hereunder and is not a Nonrecoverable
Advance. If the Trustee receives a Trustee Advance Notice on or before 3:30
P.M., New York time on a Master Servicer Advance Date, the Trustee shall, not
later than 3:00 P.M., New York time, on the related Distribution Date, deposit
in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the Advance Deficiency
identified in such Trustee Advance Notice unless it is prohibited from so
doing by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not
be required to make such deposit if the Trustee shall have received written
notification from the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer has deposited
or caused to be deposited in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such
Advance Deficiency. All Advances made by the Trustee pursuant to this Section
4.01(b) shall accrue interest on behalf of the Trustee at the Trustee Advance
Rate from and including the date such Advances are made to but excluding the
date of repayment, with such interest being an obligation of the Master
Servicer and not the Trust Fund. The Master Servicer shall reimburse the
Trustee for the amount of any Advance made by the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 4.01(b) together with accrued interest, not later than the fifth day
following the related Master Servicer Advance Date. In the event that the
Master Servicer does not reimburse the Trustee in accordance with the
requirements of the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall immediately (a)
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 and (b) subject to the limitations
set forth in Section 3.04, assume all of the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer hereunder.
(c) The Master Servicer shall, not later than the close of business
on the second Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution Date,
deliver to the Trustee a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee) that indicates (i) the Mortgage Loans with respect to which
the Master Servicer has determined that the related Scheduled Payments should
be advanced and (ii) the amount of the related Scheduled Payments. The Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee on
IV-1
the related Master Servicer Advance Date an Officer's Certificate of a
Servicing Officer indicating the amount of any proposed Advance determined by
the Master Servicer to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

On any Distribution Date, to the extent the Amount Available for
Senior Principal for a Loan Group is insufficient to make the full
distribution required to be made pursuant to clause (a)(1)(iv)(x),
(a)(2)(iv)(x) or (a)(3)(iv)(x), as applicable, (A) the amount distributable on

Component of Accrual Certificates but shall instead be added to the related
Class Certificate Balance of such Class on the related Distribution Date. With
respect to any Distribution Date prior to and including the applicable Accrual
Termination Date on which principal payments on any Class or Component of
Accrual Certificates are distributed pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(1)(iii) or
Section 4.02(a)(2)(iii), as applicable, the related Accrual Amount shall be
deemed to have been added on such Distribution Date to the related Class
Certificate Balance of such Class or Component of Accrual Certificates (and
included in the amount distributable on the related Class or Classes or
Component of Accretion Directed Certificates pursuant to Section
4.02(a)(1)(iii) or 4.02(a)(2)(iii), as applicable, for such Distribution Date)
and the related distribution thereon shall be deemed to have been applied
concurrently towards the reduction of all or a portion of the amount so added
and, to the extent of any excess, towards the reduction of the Class
Certificate Balance or Component Balance of such Class or Component of Accrual
Certificates immediately prior to such
IV-8
Distribution Date. Notwithstanding any such distribution, the Accrual
Certificates shall continue to be a Class of Accrual Certificates on each
subsequent Distribution Date until the applicable Accrual Termination Date.
(c) On each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, notwithstanding the allocation and priorities set forth in
Section 4.02(a)(1)(iv)(y), Section 4.02(a)(2)(iv)(y) and Section
4.02(a)(3)(iv)(y), the portion of Available Funds available to be distributed
as principal of the Group 1 Senior Certificates, Group 2 Senior Certificates
and Group 3 Senior Certificates, as applicable, (other than the related Class
PO Component) shall be distributed concurrently, as principal, on such
Classes, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class Certificate
Balances, until the Class Certificate Balances thereof are reduced to zero.
(d) On each Distribution Date, the amount referred to in clause (i)
of the definition of Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for each Class
of Certificates for such Distribution Date shall be reduced for each Class of
Senior Certificates of a Senior Certificate Group and each Class of
Subordinated Certificates by (i) the related Class' pro rata share of Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Loan Group based (x) with respect to a
Class of Senior Certificates, on the related Class Optimal Interest
Distribution Amount and (y) with respect to a Class of Subordinated
Certificates on and prior to the second Senior Termination Date on the Assumed
Interest Amount or after such the second Senior Termination Date, the related
Class Optimal Interest Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date in the
absence of such Net Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, and (ii) the related
Class' Allocable Share of (A) after the Special Hazard Coverage Termination
Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group (or after
the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan) that became a
Special Hazard Mortgage Loan during the calendar month preceding the month of
such Distribution Date, the excess of one month's interest at the related
Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loan as of the Due Date in such month over the amount of Liquidation Proceeds
applied as interest on such Mortgage Loan with respect to such month, (B)
after the Bankruptcy Coverage Termination Date, with respect to each Mortgage
Loan in the related Loan Group (or after the Senior Credit Support Depletion
Date, any Mortgage Loan) that became subject to a Bankruptcy Loss during the
calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, the interest
portion of the related Debt Service Reduction or Deficient Valuation, (C) each
Relief Act Reduction for the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group (or
after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan) incurred
during the calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date and
(D) after the Fraud Loss Coverage Termination Date, with respect to each
Mortgage Loan in the related Loan Group (or after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, any Mortgage Loan) that became a Fraud Loan during the
calendar month preceding the month of such Distribution Date, the excess of
one month's interest at the related Adjusted Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in such month over
the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest on such Mortgage Loan
with respect to such month.
(e) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
4.02(a)(4), if on any Distribution Date with respect to any Class of
Subordinated Certificates (other than the Class of Subordinated Certificates
then outstanding with the highest priority of distribution) the sum of the
related Class Subordination Percentages of such Class and of all Classes of
Subordinated Certificates which have a higher numerical Class designation than
such Class (the "Applicable Credit Support Percentage") is less than the
Original Applicable Credit Support Percentage for such Class, no distribution
of Principal Prepayments will be made to any such Classes (the "Restricted
Classes") and the amount of such Principal Prepayments otherwise distributable
to the Restricted Classes shall be distributed to any Classes of Subordinated
Certificates having lower numerical Class designations than such Class, pro
rata, based on their respective Class Certificate Balances immediately prior
to such Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the sequential order
provided in Section 4.02(a)(4).
IV-9
(f) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute the
amount withdrawn from the Reserve Fund with respect to such Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 3.08(c), to the Class 1-A-4 Certificates as interest
thereon, up to the sum of (i) amount of the Class 1-A-4 Prepayment Interest
Shortfalls and (ii) the Class 1-A-4 Relief Act Reductions with respect to such
Distribution Date.
(g) If the amount of a Realized Loss on a Mortgage Loan has been
reduced by application of Subsequent Recoveries with respect to such Mortgage
Loan, the amount of such Subsequent Recoveries will be applied sequentially,
in the order of payment priority, to increase the Class Certificate Balance of
each Class of Certificates to which Realized Losses have been allocated, but
in each case by not more than the amount of Realized Losses previously
allocated to that Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04. Holders of
such Certificates will not be entitled to any payment in respect of the Class
Optimal Interest Distribution Amount on the amount of such increases for any
Interest Accrual Period preceding the Distribution Date on which such increase
occurs. Any such increases shall be applied pro rata to the Certificate
Balance of each Certificate of such Class.
(h) On each Distribution Date, the reduction in the Aggregate
Notional Amount for that Distribution Date from the Aggregate Notional Amount
for the immediately preceding Distribution Date (or in the case of the first
Distribution Date, from the Closing Date) shall be applied sequentially: (i)
to reduce the Component Notional Amount of the Class 1-A-8-5 Component, until
its Component Notional Amount is reduced to zero, (2) to reduce the Notional
Amount of the Class 1-A-12 Certificates, until its Notional Amount is reduced
to zero, and (3) to reduce the Component Notional Amount of the Class 1-A-8-4
Component, until its Component Notional Amount is reduced to zero.

accordance with the provisions of clause (ii) above will be accepted in the
order of priority established by the random lot procedures of the Depository
after all requests with respect to such Class presented in accordance with
clause (i) have been honored. All requests for distributions in reduction of
the Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates with respect to any
Distribution Date shall be made in accordance with Section
IV-10
4.03(c) below and must be received by the Depository and forwarded to, and
received by, the Trustee no later than the close of business on the related
Record Date. Requests for distributions which are received by the Depository
and forwarded to the Trustee after the related Record Date and requests, in
either case, for distributions timely received but not accepted with respect
to any Distribution Date, will be treated as requests for distributions in
reduction of the Certificate Balances of the applicable Class 1-A-4
Certificates on the next succeeding Distribution Date, and each succeeding
Distribution Date thereafter, until each such request is accepted or is
withdrawn as provided in Section 4.03(c). Such requests as are not so
withdrawn shall retain their order of priority without the need for any
further action on the part of the appropriate Certificate Owner of the related
Class 1-A-4 Certificate, all in accordance with the procedures of the
Depository and the Trustee. Upon the transfer of beneficial ownership of any
Class 1-A-4 Certificate, any distribution request previously submitted with
respect to such Certificate will be deemed to have been withdrawn only upon
the receipt by the Trustee of notification of such withdrawal using a form
required by the Depository.
Distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balances of Class
1-A-4 Certificates will be applied, in the aggregate, to the Class 1-A-4
Certificates in an amount equal to the portion of the Available Funds
distributable to the Class 1-A-4 Certificates pursuant to Section
4.02(a)(1)(iv), plus any amounts available for distribution from the Class
1-A-4 Rounding Account pursuant to Section 4.03(f), provided that the
aggregate distribution in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of the
Class 1-A-4 Certificates on any Distribution Date is made in an integral
multiple of $1,000.
(c) A "Deceased Holder" is a Certificate Owner of a Class 1-A-4
Certificate who was living at the time such interest was acquired and whose
authorized personal representative, surviving tenant by the entirety,
surviving joint tenant or surviving tenant in common or other person empowered
to act on behalf of such Certificate Owner upon his or her death, causes to be
furnished to the Trustee a certified copy of the death certificate of such
Certificate Owner and any additional evidence of death required by and
satisfactory to the Trustee and any tax waivers requested by the Trustee.
Class 1-A-4 Certificates beneficially owned by tenants by the entirety, joint
tenants or tenants in common will be considered to be beneficially owned by a
single owner. The death of a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in
common will be deemed to be the death of the Certificate Owner, and the Class
1-A-4 Certificates so beneficially owned will be eligible for priority with
respect to distributions in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of the
Class 1-A-4 Certificates, subject to the limitations stated above. Class 1-A-4
Certificates beneficially owned by a trust will be considered to be
beneficially owned by each beneficiary of the trust to the extent of such
beneficiary's beneficial interest therein, but in no event will a trust's
beneficiaries collectively be deemed to be Certificate Owners of a number of
Individual Class 1-A-4 Certificates greater than the number of Individual
Class 1-A-4 Certificates of which such trust is the beneficial owner. The
death of a beneficiary of a trust will be deemed to be the death of a
Certificate Owner of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates beneficially owned by the
trust to the extent of such beneficiary's beneficial interest in such trust.
The death of an individual who was a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or
tenant in common in a tenancy which is the beneficiary of a trust will be
deemed to be the death of the beneficiary of the trust. The death of a person
who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the
beneficial ownership interests in Class 1-A-4 Certificates will be deemed to
be the death of the Certificate Owner of such Class 1-A-4 Certificates
regardless of the registration of ownership of such Class 1-A-4 Certificates,
if such beneficial interest can be established to the satisfaction of the
Trustee. Such beneficial interest will be deemed to exist in typical cases of
street name or nominee ownership, ownership by a trustee, ownership under the
Uniform Gifts to Minors Act and community property or other joint ownership
arrangements between a husband and wife. Beneficial interests shall include
the power to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of a Class 1-A-4 Certificate
and the right to receive the proceeds therefrom, as well as interest and
distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balances of the Class 1-A-4
Certificates payable with respect thereto. The Trustee shall not be under any
duty to determine independently the occurrence of the death of any deceased
Certificate Owner. The
IV-11
Trustee may rely entirely upon documentation delivered to it pursuant to
Section 4.03(a) in establishing the eligibility of any Certificate Owner to
receive the priority accorded Deceased Holders in Section 4.03(a).
(d) Requests for distributions in reduction of the Certificate
Balance of a Class 1-A-4 Certificate must be made by delivering a written
request therefor to the Depository Participant or Indirect Participant that
maintains the account evidencing the Certificate Owner's interest in such
Class 1-A-4 Certificate. Such Depository Participant or Indirect Participant
should in turn make the request of the Depository (or, in the case of an
Indirect Participant, such Indirect Participant must notify the related
Depository Participant of such request, which Depository Participant should
make the request of the Depository) on a form required by the Depository and
provided to the Depository Participant. Upon receipt of such request, the
Depository will date and time stamp such request and forward such request to
the Trustee. The Depository may establish such procedures as it deems fair and
equitable to establish the order of receipt or requests for such distributions
received by it on the same day. The Trustee shall not be liable for any delay
in delivery of requests for distributions or withdrawals of such requests by
the Depository, a Depository Participant or any Indirect Participant.
In the event any requests for distributions in reduction of the
Certificate Balance of Class 1-A-4 Certificates are rejected by the Trustee
for failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.03, the Trustee
shall return such requests to the appropriate Depository Participant with a
copy to the Depository with an explanation as to the reason for such
rejection.
The Trustee shall maintain a list of those Depository Participants
representing the Certificate Owners of Class 1-A-4 Certificates that have
submitted requests for distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balances
of such Class 1-A-4 Certificates, together with the order of receipt and the
amounts of such requests. The Trustee shall notify the Depository and the
appropriate Depository Participants as to which requests should be honored on
each Distribution Date. Requests shall be honored by the Depository in
accordance with the procedures, and subject to the priorities and limitations,
described in this Section 4.03. The exact procedures to be followed by the
Trustee and the Depository for purposes of determining such priorities and
limitations shall be those established from time to time by the Trustee or the
Depository, as the case may be. The decisions of the Trustee and the
Depository concerning such matters shall be final and binding on all affected
Persons.
Payments in reduction of the Certificate Balance of Class 1-A-4
Certificates shall be made on the applicable Distribution Date and the
Certificate Balances as to which such payments are made shall cease to bear
interest after the last day of the month preceding the month in which such
Distribution Date occurs.
Any Certificate Owner of a Class 1-A-4 Certificate which has
requested a distribution may withdraw its request by so notifying in writing
the Depository Participant or Indirect Participant that maintains such
Certificate Owner's account. In the event that such account is maintained by
an Indirect Participant, such Indirect Participant must notify the related
Depository Participant which in turn must forward the withdrawal of such
request, on a form required by the Depository, to the Trustee. If such notice
of withdrawal of a request for distribution has not been received by the
Depository and forwarded to the Trustee on or before the Record Date for the
next Distribution Date, the previously made request for distribution will be
irrevocable with respect to the making of distributions in reduction of the
Certificate Balance of such Class 1-A-4 Certificate on such Distribution Date.
(e) To the extent, if any, that distributions in reduction of the
Class Certificate Balance of Class 1-A-4 Certificates on a Distribution Date
exceed the aggregate Certificate Balances of the Class 1-A-4Certificates with
respect to which distribution requests have been received by the related
IV-12
Record Date, as provided in Section 4.03(a) above, distributions in reduction
of the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates will be made
by mandatory distributions in reduction thereof. The Trustee shall notify the
Depository of the aggregate amount of the mandatory distribution in reduction
of the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates to be made on
the next Distribution Date. The Depository shall then allocate such aggregate
amount among its Depository Participants on a random lot basis. Each
Depository Participant and, in turn, each Indirect Participant, will then
select, in accordance with its own procedures, Individual Class 1-A-4
Certificates from among those held in its accounts to receive mandatory
distributions in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-4
Certificates, such that the total amount so selected is equal to the aggregate
amount of such mandatory distributions allocated to such Depository
Participant by the Depository and to such Indirect Participant by its related
Depository Participant, as the case may be. Depository Participants and
Indirect Participants which hold Class 1-A-4 Certificates selected for
mandatory distributions in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance are
required to provide notice of such mandatory distributions to the affected
Certificate Owners.
(f) On the Closing Date, the Class 1-A-4 Rounding Account shall be
established with the Trustee and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated shall cause
to be initially deposited the sum of $999.99 in the Class 1-A-4 Rounding
Account. On each Distribution Date on which a distribution is made in
reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates,
funds on deposit in the Class 1-A-4 Rounding Account shall be, to the extent
needed, withdrawn by the Trustee and applied to round upward to an integral
multiple of $1,000 the aggregate distribution in reduction of the Class
Certificate Balance to be made on the Class 1-A-4 Certificates. Rounding of
such distribution on the Class 1-A-4 Certificates shall be accomplished, on
the first such Distribution Date, by withdrawing from the Class 1-A-4 Rounding
Account the amount of funds, if any, needed to round the amount otherwise
available for such distribution in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance
of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates upward to the next integral multiple of
$1,000. On each succeeding Distribution Date on which distributions in
reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates are
to be made, the aggregate amount of such distributions allocable to the Class
1-A-4 Certificates shall be applied first to repay any funds withdrawn from
the Class 1-A-4 Rounding Account and not previously repaid, and then the
remainder of such allocable amount, if any, shall be similarly rounded upward
and applied as distributions in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of
the Class 1-A-4 Certificates; this process shall continue on succeeding
Distribution Dates until the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-4
Certificates has been reduced to zero. The Class 1-A-4 Rounding Account shall
be an "outside reserve fund" under the REMIC Provisions that is beneficially
owned for all federal income tax purposes by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.
Incorporated, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated shall report all income,
gain, deduction or loss with respect thereto. The Class 1-A-4 Rounding Account
shall remain uninvested.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Distribution
Date on which distributions in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of
the Class 1-A-4 Certificates will reduce the Class Certificate Balance thereof
to zero or in the event that distributions in reduction of the Class
Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates are made in accordance
with the provisions set forth in Section 4.03(g), an amount equal to the
difference between $999.99 and the sum then held in the Class 1-A-4 Rounding
Account shall be paid from the Available Funds for such Distribution Date to
the Class 1-A-4 Rounding Account. Any funds then on deposit in such Class
1-A-4 Rounding Account shall be distributed to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co.
Incorporated.
(g) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, on each
Distribution Date following the first Distribution Date on or after the Senior
Credit Support Depletion Date, distributions in reduction of the Class
Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates (including amounts paid in
respect of Realized Losses under the Class 1-A-4 Policy) will be made among
the Holders of the Class 1-
IV-13
A-4 Certificates, pro rata, based on Certificate Balances, and will not be
made in integral multiples of $1,000 or pursuant to requested distributions or
mandatory distributions by random lot.
In the event that Definitive Certificates representing the Class
1-A-4 Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.02(e), an amendment to
this Agreement, which may be approved without the consent of any
Certificateholders, shall establish procedures relating to the manner in which
distributions in reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-4
Certificates are to be made; provided that such procedures shall be
consistent, to the extent practicable and customary for certificates similar
to the Class 1-A-4 Certificates, with the provisions of this Section 4.03.
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Realized Losses.
------------------------------
(a) On or prior to each Determination Date, the Trustee shall
determine the total amount of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses, with
respect to the related Distribution Date. For purposes of allocating losses to
the Subordinated Certificates, the Class M Certificates will be deemed to have
a lower numerical Class designation, and to be of a higher relative payment
priority, than each other Class of Subordinated Certificates.
Realized Losses with respect to any Distribution Date shall
be allocated as follows:
(i) the applicable PO Percentage of any Realized Loss, including any
Excess Loss, on a Mortgage Loan in a Loan Group shall be allocated to the
related Class PO Component, until the Component Balance thereof is
reduced to zero; and
(ii) (A) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Realized Loss
(other than an Excess Loss) shall be allocated first to the Subordinated
Certificates in reverse order of their respective numerical Class
designations (beginning with the Class of Subordinated Certificates then
outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation) until the
respective Class Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to
zero, and second to the Senior Certificates (other than any Notional
Amount Certificates, if applicable, and the related Class PO Component),
pro rata on the basis of their respective Class Certificate Balances or,
in the case of any Class of Accrual Certificates or Accrual Component, on
the basis of the lesser of their Class Certificate Balance or Component
Balance, as applicable, and their initial Class Certificate Balance or
Component Balance, as applicable, in each case immediately prior to the
related Distribution Date until the respective Class Certificate Balance
of each such Class is reduced to zero; provided, that (i) any Realized
Losses (other than an Excess Loss) on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1
otherwise be allocable to the Class 1-A-8-1 and Class 1-A-8-3 Components
shall be allocated to the Class 1-A-14 Certificates, until its Class
Certificate Balance is reduced to zero and (ii) any Realized Losses
(other than an Excess Loss) on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 3
otherwise be allocable to the Class 3-A-5 Certificates shall be allocated
to the Class 3-A-4 Certificates, until its Class Certificate Balances is
reduced to zero; and
(B) the applicable Non-PO Percentage of any Excess Losses on the
Mortgage Loans in a Loan Group shall be allocated to the Classes of
Certificates of the related Senior Certificate Group (other than any
Notional Amount Certificates, if applicable, and the related Class PO
Component) and the Subordinated Certificates then outstanding, pro rata,
on the basis of, with respect to such Senior Certificates, their
respective Class Certificate Balances, or in the case of any Class of
Accrual Certificates or Accrual Component, on the basis of the lesser of
their respective Class Certificate Balance and their respective initial
Class Certificate Balance or their respective Component Balance or their
respective initial Component Balance, as the case may be, in each case
immediately prior to the related Distribution Date and, with respect to
each Class of
IV-14
Subordinated Certificates, the applicable Assumed Balance for each such
Class relating to the Loan Group in which such Realized Loss occurs;
provided, however, on any Distribution Date after the Senior Termination
Date for a Senior Certificate Group, such Excess Losses on the Mortgage
Loans in the related Loan Group will be allocated to the Subordinated
Certificates on the basis of their respective Class Certificate Balances;
and provided further that after the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date,
such Excess Losses shall be allocated pro rata to all Classes and
Components of Senior Certificates (other than any Notional Amount
Certificates, if applicable, and the related Class PO Component)
regardless of Senior Certificate Group on the basis of their respective
initial Class Certificate Balances or Component Balances, as applicable,
or in the case of any or in the case of any Class of Accrual Certificates
or Accrual Component, on the basis of the lesser of their respective
Class Certificate Balance and their respective initial Class Certificate
Balance or their respective Component Balance or their respective initial
Component Balance, as the case may be, in each case immediately prior to
the related Distribution Date.
(C) Any Realized Losses allocated to the Classes of Certificates
related to the Payment Group pursuant to subsection (A) above will also
reduce the Principal Balance of the Payment Group by an amount equal to
the product of (i) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Principal
Balance of the Payment Group, and the denominator of which is equal to
the aggregate Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-3, Class 1-A-5
and Class 1-A-17 Certificates, and (ii) the aggregate amount of Realized
Losses allocated to the affected Classes. Any Excess Losses allocated to
the Classes of Certificates related to the Payment Group pursuant to
subsection (B) above will also reduce the Principal Balance of the
Payment Group by an amount equal to the product of (i) a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Principal Balance of the Payment Group, and the
denominator of which is equal to the aggregate Class Certificate Balance
of the Class 1-A-3, Class 1-A-5 and Class 1-A-17 Certificates, and (ii)
the aggregate amount of Excess Losses allocated to the affected Classes.
(b) The Class Certificate Balance of the Class of Subordinated
Certificates then outstanding with the highest numerical Class designation
shall be reduced on each Distribution Date by the sum of (i) the amount of any
payments on the Class PO Certificates in respect of Class PO Deferred Amounts
and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Class Certificate
Balances of all outstanding Classes of Certificates (after giving effect to
the distribution of principal and the allocation of Realized Losses and Class
PO Deferred Amounts on such Distribution Date) exceeds the sum of the Pool
Stated Principal Balance for the following Distribution Date and any amounts
in the Supplemental Loan Account as of that Distribution Date.
(c) Any Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or any
reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant
to Section 4.04(a) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such
Class in proportion to their respective Certificate Balances.
(d) Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Certificate or to any
Component or any reduction in the Certificate Balance of a Certificate,
pursuant to Section 4.04(a) above shall be accomplished by reducing the
Certificate Balance or Component Balance thereof, as applicable, immediately
following the distributions made on the related Distribution Date in
accordance with the definition of "Certificate Balance" or "Component
Balance," as the case may be. All Realized Losses or Excess Losses allocated
to a Class of Component Certificates will be allocated, pro rata, to the
related Components.
(e) Any Realized Loss allocated to the Class 1-A-4 Certificates will
be covered by the Class 1-A-4 Policy. Any payment under the Class 1-A-4 Policy
with respect to a Realized Loss
IV-15
allocated to the Class 1-A-4 Certificates shall not result in a further
reduction to the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates
SECTION 4.05. Policy Matters.
---------------
(a) If, on the third Business Day before any Distribution Date, the
Trustee determines that the Available Funds for such Distribution Date
distributable to the Holders of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates pursuant to
Section 4.02, will be insufficient to pay the Required Distributions on such
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall determine the amount of any such
deficiency and shall give notice to MBIA and the Fiscal Agent (as defined in
the Class 1-A-4 Policy), if any, by telephone or telecopy of the amount of
such deficiency, confirmed in writing by notice substantially in the form of
Exhibit A to the Class 1-A-4 Policy by 12:00 noon, New York City time on such
third Business Day. The Trustee's responsibility for delivering the notice to
MBIA as provided in the preceding sentence is limited to the availability,
timeliness and accuracy of the information provided by the Master Servicer.
(b) In the event the Trustee receives a certified copy of an order
of the appropriate court that any scheduled payment of principal or interest
on a Class 1-A-4 Certificate has been voided in whole or in part as a
preference payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Trustee shall (i)
promptly notify MBIA and the Fiscal Agent, if any, and (ii) comply with the
provisions of the Class 1-A-4 Policy to obtain payment by MBIA of such voided
scheduled payment. In addition, the Trustee shall mail notice to all Holders
of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates so affected that, in the event that any such
Holder's scheduled payment is so recovered, such Holder will be entitled to
payment pursuant to the terms of the Class 1-A-4 Policy a copy of which shall
be made available to such Holders by the Trustee. The Trustee shall furnish to
MBIA and the Fiscal Agent, if any, its records listing the payments on the
affected Class 1-A-4 Certificates, if any, that have been made by the Trustee
and subsequently recovered from the affected Holders, and the dates on which
such payments were made by the Trustee.
(c) At the time of the execution hereof, and for the purposes
hereof, the Trustee shall establish a separate special purpose trust account
in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of Holders of the Class 1-A-4
Certificates (the "Class 1-A-4 Policy Payments Account") over which the
Trustee shall have exclusive control and sole right of withdrawal. The Class
1-A-4 Policy Payments Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Trustee shall
deposit any amount paid under the Class 1-A-4 Policy into the Class 1-A-4
Policy Payments Account and distribute such amount only for the purposes of
making the payments to Holders of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates in respect of
the Required Distribution for which the related claim was made under the Class
1-A-4 Policy. Such amounts shall be allocated by the Trustee to Holders of
Class 1-A-4 Certificates affected by such shortfalls in the same manner as
principal and interest payments are to be allocated with respect to such
Certificates pursuant to Section 4.02. It shall not be necessary for such
payments to be made by checks or wire transfers separated from the checks or
wire transfers used to make regular payments hereunder with funds withdrawn
from the Distribution Account. However, any payments made on the Class 1-A-4
Certificates from funds in the Class 1-A-4 Policy Payments Account shall be
noted as provided in subsection (e) below. Funds held in the Class 1-A-4
Policy Payments Account shall not be invested by the Trustee.
(d) Any funds received from MBIA for deposit into the Class 1-A-4
Policy Payments Account pursuant to the Class 1-A-4 Policy in respect of a
Distribution Date or otherwise as a result of any claim under the Class 1-A-4
Policy shall be applied by the Trustee directly to the payment in full (i) of
the Required Distribution due on such Distribution Date on the Class 1-A-4
Certificates, or (ii) of other amounts payable under the Class 1-A-4 Policy.
Funds received by the Trustee as a result of any claim under the Class 1-A-4
Policy shall be used solely for payment to the Holders of the Class 1-A-4
Certificates and may not be applied for any other purpose, including, without
limitation, satisfaction of any costs, expenses or liabilities of the Trustee,
the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund. Any funds
IV-16
remaining in the Class 1-A-4 Policy Payments Account on the first Business Day
after each Distribution Date shall be remitted promptly to MBIA in accordance
with the instructions set forth in Section 5.01.
(e) The Trustee shall keep complete and accurate records in respect
of (i) all funds remitted to it by MBIA and deposited into the Class 1-A-4
Policy Payments Account and (ii) the allocation of such funds to (A) payments
of interest on and principal in respect of any Class 1-A-4 Certificates, (B)
Realized Losses allocated to the Class 1-A-4 Certificates and (C) the amount
of funds available to make distributions on the Class 1-A-4 Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.02. MBIA shall have the right to inspect such records at
reasonable times during normal business hours upon three Business Days' prior
notice to the Trustee.
(f) The Trustee acknowledges, and each Holder of a Class 1-A-4
Certificate by its acceptance of the Class 1-A-4 Certificate agrees, that,
without the need for any further action on the part of MBIA or the Trustee, to
the extent MBIA makes payments, directly or indirectly, on account of
principal of or interest on any Class 1-A-4 Certificates, MBIA will be fully
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Class 1-A-4 Certificates to
receive such principal and interest from the Trust Fund. The Holders of the
Class 1-A-4 Certificates, by acceptance of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates,
assign their rights as Holders of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates to the extent
of MBIA's interest with respect to amounts paid under the Class 1-A-4 Policy.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, solely for purposes of
determining MBIA's rights, as applicable, as subrogee for payments
distributable pursuant to Section 4.02, any payment with respect to
distributions to the Class 1-A-4 Certificates which is made with funds
received pursuant to the terms of the Class 1-A-4 Policy, shall not be
considered payment of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates from the Trust Fund and
shall not result in the distribution or the provision for the distribution in
reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of the Class 1-A-4 Certificates
within the meaning of Article IV.
(g) Upon its becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the Trustee shall promptly notify MBIA of such Event of Default.
(h) The Trustee shall promptly notify MBIA of either of the
following as to which it has actual knowledge: (A) the commencement of any
proceeding by or against the Depositor commenced under the United States
bankruptcy code or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
rehabilitation or similar law (an "Insolvency Proceeding") and (B) the making
of any claim in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding seeking the
avoidance as a preferential transfer (a "Preference Claim") of any
distribution made with respect to the Class 1-A-4 Certificates as to which it
has actual knowledge. Each Holder of a Class 1-A-4 Certificate, by its
purchase of Class 1-A-4 Certificates, and the Trustee hereby agrees that MBIA
(so long as no MBIA Default exists) may at any time during the continuation of
any proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to
such Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any
appeal of any order relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of
any surety, supersedeas or performance bond pending any such appeal. In
addition and without limitation of the foregoing, MBIA shall be subrogated to
the rights of the Trustee and each Holder of a Class 1-A-4 Certificate in the
conduct of any Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of
any party to an adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order
issued in connection with any such Preference Claim.
(i) The Master Servicer shall designate an MBIA Contact Person who
shall be available to MBIA to provide reasonable access to information
regarding the Mortgage Loans. The initial MBIA Contact Person is to the
attention of Secondary Marketing.
(j) The Trustee shall surrender the Class 1-A-4 Policy to MBIA for
cancellation upon the reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of the Class
1-A-4 Certificates to zero.
IV-17
(k) The Trustee shall send to MBIA the reports prepared pursuant to
Sections 3.16 and 3.17 and the statements prepared pursuant to Section 4.06,
as well as any other statements or communications sent to Holders of the Class
1-A-4 Certificates, in each case at the same time such reports, statements and
communications are otherwise sent.
(l) For so long as there is no continuing default by MBIA under its
obligations under the Class 1-A-4 Policy (an "MBIA Default"), each Holder of a
Class 1-A-4 Certificate agrees that MBIA shall be treated by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee as if MBIA were the Holder of all of the
Class 1-A-4 Certificates for the purpose (and solely for the purpose) of the
giving of any consent, the making of any direction or the exercise of any
voting or other control rights otherwise given to the Holders of the Class
1-A-4 Certificates hereunder.
(m) With respect to this Section 4.05, (i) the terms "Receipt" and
"Received" shall mean actual delivery to MBIA and MBIA's Fiscal Agent, if any,
if any, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day; delivery
either on a day that is not a Business Day or after 12:00 noon, New York City
time, shall be deemed to be Receipt on the next succeeding Business Day. If
any notice or certificate given under the Class 1-A-4 Policy by the Trustee is
not in proper form or is not properly completed, executed or delivered, it
shall be deemed not to have been Received. MBIA or its Fiscal Agent, if any,
shall promptly so advise the Trustee and the Trustee may submit an amended
notice and (ii) "Business Day" means any day other than (A) a Saturday or
Sunday or (B) a day on which MBIA or banking institutions in the City of New
York, New York, or the city in which the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee
is located, are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be
closed.
SECTION 4.06. Monthly Statements to Certificateholders.
-----------------------------------------
(a) Not later than each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall prepare
and cause to be forwarded by first class mail to each Certificateholder, the
Master Servicer, MBIA, the Depositor and each Rating Agency a statement
setting forth with respect to the related distribution:
(i) the amount thereof allocable to principal, separately
identifying the aggregate amount of any Principal Prepayments,
Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries included therein;
(ii) the amount thereof allocable to interest, any Class Unpaid
Interest Amounts included in such distribution and any remaining Class
Unpaid Interest Amounts after giving effect to such distribution;
(iii) if the distribution to the Holders of such Class of
Certificates is less than the full amount that would be distributable to
such Holders if there were sufficient funds available therefor, the
amount of the shortfall and the allocation thereof as between principal
and interest;
(iv) the Class Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates
after giving effect to the distribution of principal on such Distribution
Date;
(v) the Pool Stated Principal Balance for the following Distribution
Date;
(vi) the Senior Percentage and Subordinated Percentage for the
following Distribution Date;

containing the information set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(vii)
of this Section 4.06 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 as from time to time in effect.
SECTION 4.07. Determination of Pass-Through Rates for COFI
Certificates.
--------------------------------------------
The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of COFI Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period after the initial Interest Accrual Period shall be
determined by the Trustee as provided below on the basis of the Index and the
applicable formulae appearing in footnotes corresponding to the COFI
Certificates in the table relating to the Certificates in the Preliminary
Statement.
Except as provided below, with respect to each Interest Accrual
Period following the initial Interest Accrual Period, the Trustee shall not
later than two Business Days prior to such Interest Accrual Period but
following the publication of the applicable Index determine the Pass-Through
Rate at which interest shall accrue in respect of the COFI Certificates during
the related Interest Accrual Period.
Except as provided below, the Index to be used in determining the
respective Pass-Through Rates for the COFI Certificates for a particular
Interest Accrual Period shall be COFI for the second calendar month preceding
the Outside Reference Date for such Interest Accrual Period. If at the Outside
Reference Date for any Interest Accrual Period, COFI for the second calendar
month preceding such Outside Reference Date has not been published, the
Trustee shall use COFI for the third calendar month preceding such Outside
Reference Date. If COFI for neither the second nor third calendar months
preceding any Outside Reference Date has been published on or before the
related Outside Reference Date, the Index for such Interest Accrual Period and
for all subsequent Interest Accrual Periods shall be the National Cost of
Funds Index for the third calendar month preceding such Interest Accrual
Period (or the fourth preceding calendar month if such National Cost of Funds
Index for the third preceding calendar month has not been published by such
Outside Reference Date). In the event that the National Cost of Funds Index
for neither the third nor fourth calendar months preceding an Interest Accrual
Period has been published on or before the related Outside Reference Date,
then for such Interest Accrual Period and for each succeeding Interest Accrual
Period, the Index shall be LIBOR, determined in the manner set forth below.
With respect to any Interest Accrual Period for which the applicable
Index is LIBOR, LIBOR for such Interest Accrual Period will be established by
the Trustee on the related Interest Determination Date as provided in Section
4.08.
In determining LIBOR and any Pass-Through Rate for the COFI
Certificates or any Reserve Interest Rate, the Trustee may conclusively rely
and shall be protected in relying upon the offered quotations (whether
written, oral or on the Reuters Screen) from the Reference Banks or the New
York City banks as to LIBOR or the Reserve Interest Rate, as appropriate, in
effect from time to time. The Trustee shall not have any liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee's selection of New York City
banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or (ii) its
inability, following
IV-20
a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such quotations from the Reference
Banks or the New York City banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as
provided for in this Section 4.07.
The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the COFI
Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final,
conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
SECTION 4.08. Determination of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR
Certificates.
---------------------------------------------
(a) On each Interest Determination Date so long as any LIBOR
Certificates are outstanding, the Trustee will determine LIBOR on the basis of
the British Bankers' Association ("BBA") "Interest Settlement Rate" for
one-month deposits in U.S. dollars as found on Telerate page 3750 as of 11:00
a.m. London time on each LIBOR Determination Date. "Telerate Page 3750" means
the display page currently so designated on the Moneyline Telerate Service
(formerly the Dow Xxxxx Markets) (or such other page as may replace that page
on that service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates or prices).
(b) If on any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR cannot be
determined as provided in paragraph (A) of this Section 4.08, the Trustee
shall either (i) request each Reference Bank to inform the Trustee of the
quotation offered by its principal London office for making one-month United
States dollar deposits in leading banks in the London interbank market, as of
11:00 a.m. (London time) on such Interest Determination Date or (ii) in lieu
of making any such request, rely on such Reference Bank quotations that appear
at such time on the Reuters Screen LIBO Page (as defined in the International
Swap Dealers Association Inc. Code of Standard Wording, Assumptions and
Provisions for Swaps, 1986 Edition), to the extent available. LIBOR for the
next Interest Accrual Period will be established by the Trustee on each
interest Determination Date as follows:
(i) If on any Interest Determination Date two or more Reference
Banks provide such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next applicable
Interest Accrual Period shall be the arithmetic mean of such offered
quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean upwards if necessary to the
nearest whole multiple of 1/32%).
(ii) If on any Interest Determination Date only one or none of the
Reference Banks provides such offered quotations, LIBOR for the next
Interest Accrual Period shall be whichever is the higher of (i) LIBOR as
determined on the previous Interest Determination Date or (ii) the
Reserve Interest Rate. The "Reserve Interest Rate" shall be the rate per
annum which the Trustee determines to be either (i) the arithmetic mean
(rounded upwards if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/32%) of
the one-month United States dollar lending rates that New York City banks
selected by the Trustee are quoting, on the relevant Interest
Determination Date, to the principal London offices of at least two of
the Reference Banks to which such quotations are, in the opinion of the
Trustee, being so made, or (ii) in the event that the Trustee can
determine no such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month United States
dollar lending rate which New York City banks selected by the Trustee are
quoting on such Interest Determination Date to leading European banks.
(iii) If on any Interest Determination Date the Trustee is required
but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest Rate in the manner
provided in paragraph (b) above, LIBOR for the related Classes of
Certificates shall be LIBOR as determined on the preceding applicable
Interest Determination Date or, in the case of the first Interest
Determination Date, 1.31%.
IV-21
Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Trustee
will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the purpose of
determining LIBOR with respect to each Interest Determination Date. The Master
Servicer initially shall designate the Reference Banks. Each "Reference Bank"
shall be a leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the
international Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be
under common control with, the Trustee and shall have an established place of
business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable
to act as such or if the Master Servicer should terminate its appointment as
Reference Bank, the Trustee shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed
another Reference Bank. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility
to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for purposes of
determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four Reference
Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
(c) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for
each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Trustee on each
Interest Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are outstanding
on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes
corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the
Certificates in the Preliminary Statement.
In determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates, any Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the
Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying upon the
offered quotations (whether written, oral or on the Dow Xxxxx Markets) from
the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York City banks as to
LIBOR, the Interest Settlement Rate or the Reserve Interest Rate, as
appropriate, in effect from time to time. The Trustee shall not have any
liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the Trustee's selection of
New York City banks for purposes of determining any Reserve Interest Rate or
(ii) its inability, following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain such
quotations from, the BBA designated banks, the Reference Banks or the New York
City banks or to determine such arithmetic mean, all as provided for in this
Section 4.08.
The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates by the Trustee shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final,
conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and the Trustee.
IV-22
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01. The Certificates.
-----------------
The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto
as exhibits. The Certificates shall be issuable in registered form, in the
minimum denominations, integral multiples in excess thereof (except that one
Certificate in each Class may be issued in a different amount which must be in
excess of the applicable minimum denomination) and aggregate denominations per
Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
Subject to Section 9.02 hereof respecting the final distribution on
the Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Trustee shall make
distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date
either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of
such holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor,
if (i) such Holder has so notified the Trustee at least five Business Days
prior to the related Record Date and (ii) such Holder shall hold (A) a
Notional Amount Certificate, (B) 100% of the Class Certificate Balance of any
Class of Certificates or (C) Certificates of any Class with aggregate
principal Denominations of not less than $1,000,000 or (y) by check mailed by
first class mail to such Certificateholder at the address of such holder
appearing in the Certificate Register. Payments to MBIA shall be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to the following account, unless MBIA
notifies the Trustee in writing: Account Name: MBIA Insurance Corporation,
Account Number 000-0-000000, Bank - JPMorgan Chase Bank, ABA Number
000-000-000, Re: Countrywide 2003-20 - Policy No. 41409 - Class 1-A-4
Certificates.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall
bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have
ceased to be so authorized prior to the countersignature and delivery of such
Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid
for any purpose, unless countersigned by the Trustee by manual signature, and
such countersignature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and
the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their countersignature.
On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall countersign the Certificates to be
issued at the direction of the Depositor, or any affiliate thereof.
The Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate
transfers.
SECTION 5.02. Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates.
--------------------------------------------------
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 hereof, a Certificate Register
for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and
(c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the same Class and aggregate Percentage Interest.
V-1
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever
any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute,
authenticate, and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made
for any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in
accordance with the Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under said Act and such state securities laws. In
the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the
Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the
Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer and such Certificateholder's prospective transferee shall each
certify to the Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the transfer in
substantially the forms set forth in Exhibit J (the "Transferor Certificate")
and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit K (the
"Investment Letter") or Exhibit L (the "Rule 144A Letter") or (ii) there shall
be delivered to the Trustee at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of
Counsel that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the
Securities Act. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Private
Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder,
information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such
other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to
eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate
without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the
registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee and the Master
Servicer shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A
information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the
Depositor such information regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and
other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably
request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a
Private Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby
agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor, the Seller and the Master
Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless
the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation from the
transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee (in the event such Certificate is a Private
Certificate, such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a
representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
K or Exhibit L, or in the event such Certificate is a Residual Certificate,
such requirement is satisfied only by the Trustee's receipt of a
representation letter from the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit
I), to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or
arrangement subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan or arrangement subject
to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of any such plan or
arrangement or using the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such
transfer, (ii) in the case of a Certificate that is an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate and that has been the subject of an ERISA Qualifying Underwriting,
if the purchaser is an insurance company, a representation that the purchaser
is an insurance company which is
V-2
purchasing such Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance company
general account" (as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the purchase and
holding of such Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE
95-60 or (iii) in the case of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate presented for
registration in the name of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA, or a
plan or arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable
provisions of any subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any
other person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement, or using such
plan's or arrangement's assets, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the
Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of either the
Trustee or the Trust Fund, addressed to the Trustee to the effect that the
purchase and holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not result in a
non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code and will not subject the Trustee to any obligation in addition to
those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any liability. For purposes
of the preceding sentence, with respect to an ERISA-Restricted Certificate
that is not a Residual Certificate, in the event the representation letter
referred to in the preceding sentence is not so furnished, such representation
shall be deemed to have been made to the Trustee by the transferee's
(including an initial acquiror's) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted
Certificates. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any
purported transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of an
employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code without the delivery to
the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described
above shall be void and of no effect.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for
any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in
fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments due on
such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect
to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the transfer
was registered by the Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee
shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in
addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee
under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with
an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the
proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or
agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C)
not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to
cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to
any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a
Permitted Transferee.
V-3
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder
of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored
to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this
Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was
registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The
Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of
a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the
time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other
than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Residual
Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered
by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last
preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of
a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any
Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the
Seller or the Master Servicer, to the effect that the elimination of such
restrictions will not cause any REMIC hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition
of any tax on the Trust Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each
Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate
hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion
of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure
that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual
Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is
not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the
Transfer of a Residual Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions
referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at
the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at
all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and
at all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by
the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall maintain
book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with respect to
ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the
Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall
deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating
firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry
Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under this
Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives
shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully
protected in relying upon
V-4
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to
indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall
be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
If (x) (i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge
its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Trustee or the Depositor is
unable to locate a qualified successor, (y) the Depositor at its option
advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository or (z) after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Certificate Owners representing at least 51% of the Certificate
Balance of the Book-Entry Certificates together advise the Trustee and the
Depository through the Depository Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the
best interests of the Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall notify all
Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such
event and of the availability of definitive, fully-registered Certificates
(the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same.
Upon surrender to the Trustee of the related Class of Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by the instructions from the Depository for
registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the
Master Servicer, the Depositor nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall
be protected in relying on, such instructions. The Master Servicer shall
provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory of certificates to facilitate
the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or
to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and
performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder; provided that the
Trustee shall not by virtue of its assumption of such obligations become
liable to any party for any act or failure to act of the Depository.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
--------------------------------------------------
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or
the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Master Servicer and
the Trustee (and with respect to the Class 1-A-4 Certificates, MBIA) such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute,
countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor
and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
V-5
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
----------------------
The Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Master
Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes
whatsoever, and neither the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses.
-----------------------------------------------
If three or more Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners (a)
request such information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such
Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners desire to communicate with other
Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners with respect to their rights
under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the
communication which such Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners propose
to transmit, or if the Depositor or Master Servicer shall request such
information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten
Business Days after the receipt of such request, (x) provide the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or such Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners at
such recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of
such Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any, and (y) assist the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or such Certificateholders and/or Certificate Owners at such
recipients' expense with obtaining from the Depository a list of the related
Depository Participants acting on behalf of Certificate Owners of Book Entry

-----------------------------------------------------
None of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the Seller or the

determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law. Any such determination under clause (b) permitting the
resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel

DEFAULT
SECTION 7.01. Events of Default.
-----------------
"Event of Default," wherever used herein, means any one of the
following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the Certificate
Account or remit to the Trustee any payment required to be made under the
terms of this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for five
days after the date upon which written notice of such failure shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor or to
the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having
not less than 25% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates; or
(ii) any failure by the Master Servicer to observe or perform in any
material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of
the Master Servicer contained in this Agreement, which failure materially
affects the rights of Certificateholders, that failure continues
unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice
of such failure shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the
Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by
the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting
Rights evidenced by the Certificates; provided, however, that the
sixty-day cure period shall not apply to the initial delivery of the
Mortgage File for Delay Delivery Mortgage Loans nor the failure to
substitute or repurchase in lieu thereof; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a
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 Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force
undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or
relating to the Master Servicer or all or substantially all of the
property of the Master Servicer; or
(v) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage
of, 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 Master Servicer shall fail to reimburse in full the Trustee
within five days of the Master Servicer Advance Date for any Advance made
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(b) together with accrued and
unpaid interest.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) to (vi) 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 Trustee may, or at the
direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of
the Voting Rights evidenced by the Certificates, the Trustee shall by notice
in writing to the Master Servicer (with a copy to each Rating Agency),
terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under this
VII-1
Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, other
than its rights as a Certificateholder hereunder. On and after the receipt by
the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the
Master Servicer hereunder, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee. The Trustee shall
thereupon make any Advance which the Master Servicer failed to make subject to
Section 4.01 hereof whether or not the obligations of the Master Servicer have
been terminated pursuant to this Section. The Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments,
and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to
effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the
transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related
documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such written notice, no
such termination shall affect any obligation of the Master Servicer to pay
amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate
with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Trustee of all cash amounts which shall at the time be
credited to the Certificate Account, or thereafter be received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of the Master
Servicer hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of
any late collection of a Scheduled Payment on a Mortgage Loan which was due
prior to the notice terminating such Master Servicer's rights and obligations
as Master Servicer hereunder and received after such notice, that portion
thereof to which such Master Servicer would have been entitled pursuant to
Sections 3.08(a)(i) through (viii),and any other amounts payable to such
Master Servicer hereunder the entitlement to which arose prior to the
termination of its activities hereunder.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
-----------------------------------------
On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall, subject to and
to the extent provided in Section 3.04, be the successor to the Master
Servicer in its capacity as master servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the
obligation to make Advances pursuant to Section 4.01. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans that the Master Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the
Certificate Account or Distribution Account if the Master Servicer had
continued to act hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor
any other successor to Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP as Master Servicer
shall be entitled to receive the Excess Master Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Trustee has become the successor to the Master Servicer
in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from
making Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof or if it is otherwise unable
to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint,
any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of which
does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates, without
regard to the Class 1-A-4 Policy, by each Rating Agency as the successor to
the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any
successor to the Master Servicer shall be an institution which is a FNMA and
FHLMC approved seller/servicer in good standing, which has a net worth of at
least $15,000,000, and which is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and
executes and delivers to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement accepting
such delegation and assignment, which contains an assumption by such Person of
the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of
the Master Servicer (other than liabilities of the Master Servicer under
Section 6.03 hereof incurred prior to termination of the Master Servicer under
Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a party to this
Agreement; and provided further that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its
VII-2
rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and
delegation will not be qualified or reduced, without regard to the Class 1-A-4
Policy, as a result of such assignment and delegation. Pending appointment of
a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee, unless the Trustee
is prohibited by law from so acting, shall, subject to Section 3.04 hereof,
act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and
such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall
be in excess of the Basic Master Servicing Fee permitted the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
Neither the Trustee nor any other successor master servicer shall be deemed to
be in default hereunder by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in
making, any distribution hereunder or any portion thereof or any failure to
perform, or any delay in performing, any duties or responsibilities hereunder,
in either case caused by the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver or
provide, or any delay in delivering or providing, any cash, information,
documents or records to it.
Any successor to the Master Servicer as master servicer shall give
notice to the Mortgagors of such change of servicer and shall, during the term
of its service as master servicer maintain in force the policy or policies
that the Master Servicer is required to maintain pursuant to Section 3.09.
In connection with the termination or resignation of the Master
Servicer hereunder, either (i) the successor Master Servicer, including the
Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent
and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to
comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in
connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with
MERS, or (ii) the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the
successor Master Servicer either (x) 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 Master Servicer or (y) in causing MERS to designate on the
MERS(R) System the successor Master Servicer as the servicer of such Mortgage
Loan. The predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such
assignment in the appropriate recording office. The successor Master Servicer
shall cause such assignment to be delivered to the Trustee 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 termination of or appointment of a successor to the
Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Certificateholders and to each Rating Agency and MBIA.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of each such
Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default
shall have been cured or waived.

------------------
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
after the curing of all Events of Default that may have occurred, shall
undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred and remains

whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any
such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or
other instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) unless an Event of Default known to the Trustee shall have
occurred and be continuing, the duties and obligations of the Trustee
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement,

implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement
against the Trustee and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in
good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper
authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee, unless it shall be finally proven that the Trustee was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
25% of the Voting Rights of Certificates relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee
under this Agreement; and
(iv) without in any way limiting the provisions of this Section 8.01
or Section 8.02 hereof, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely
conclusively on the information delivered to it by the Master Servicer in
a Trustee Advance Notice in determining whether or not it is required to
make an Advance under Section 4.01(b), shall have no responsibility to
ascertain or confirm any information contained in any Trustee Advance
Notice, and shall have no obligation to make any Advance under Section
4.01(b) in the absence of a Trustee Advance Notice.
VIII-1
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
--------------------------------------
Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

shall have no responsibility to ascertain or confirm the genuineness of
any signature of any such party or parties;
(ii) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or

liability is not assured to it;
(vii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment
of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the
investment security);
(viii) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event

written notice thereof; and
(ix) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the
request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory
to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
------------------------------------------------------
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken
as the statements of the Depositor or the Seller, as the case may be, and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
VIII-2
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan
or related document or of MERS or the MERS System other than with respect to
the Trustee's execution and counter-signature of the Certificates. The Trustee
shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor or the
Master Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in
respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or withdrawn from the
Certificate Account by the Depositor or the Master 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 as it would have if it
were not the Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
----------------------------
The Trustee, as compensation for its activities hereunder, shall be
entitled to withdraw from the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date
an amount equal to the Trustee Fee for such Distribution Date. The Trustee and
any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified
by the Master Servicer and held harmless against any loss, liability or
expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) (i) incurred in connection with
any claim or legal action relating to (a) this Agreement, (b) the Certificates
or (c) in connection with the performance of any of the Trustee's duties
hereunder, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the
Trustee's duties hereunder or incurred by reason of any action of the Trustee
taken at the direction of the Certificateholders and (ii) resulting from any
error in any tax or information return prepared by the Master Servicer. Such
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation
or removal of the Trustee hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Master Servicer covenants and agrees, except as otherwise agreed upon in
writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may arise from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct, to pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to: (A)
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel
not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates, (B) the
reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of any accountant,

expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as
Trustee, Registrar, Tax Matters Person or Paying Agent hereunder or for any
other expenses.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
-------------------------------------
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the
United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000,
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and with a
credit rating which would not cause either of the Rating Agencies to reduce
their respective then current ratings of the Certificates without regard to
the Class 1-A-4 Policy (or having provided such security from time to time as
is sufficient to avoid such reduction) as evidenced in writing by each Rating
Agency. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06
the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease
to be
VIII-3
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 8.07 hereof. The entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and
trust relationships with the Depositor and its affiliates or the Master
Servicer and its affiliates; provided, however, that such entity cannot be an
affiliate of the Master Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as
successor to the Master Servicer.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
-----------------------------------
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days before the date
specified in such notice when, subject to Section 8.08, such resignation is to
take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in accordance with Section
8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 8.06. If no successor
trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed and have
accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and shall fail to resign after
written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or
a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a
tax is imposed with respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the
Trustee or the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be
avoided by the appointment of a different trustee, then the Depositor or the
Master Servicer may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee, one copy of which shall be delivered to the Master
Servicer and one copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered by the successor Trustee to the Master Servicer, one
complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor
so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee shall be given to each
Rating Agency by the successor trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08 hereof.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.
------------------
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 hereof
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and to its predecessor
trustee and the Master Servicer an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as
if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such
other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly
vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers,
duties, and obligations.
VIII-4
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee
shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof and its
appointment shall not adversely affect the then current rating of the
Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to
mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed
at the expense of the Depositor.
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
-----------------------------------
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof without the execution or
filing of any paper or further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
----------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the
time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have
the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees jointly
with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part
of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any
part thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the
Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after
the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in the case 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 and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee
or separate trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee under
this Agreement to advance funds on behalf of the Master Servicer, shall
be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that
such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately
without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under
any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be
performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund
or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at
the direction of the Trustee;
VIII-5
(ii) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable by reason
of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such
appointment shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such
separate trustee or co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(iii) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or
remove any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(iv) The Master Servicer, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for
the payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification
to any such separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees,
when and as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement
and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee,
upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates
or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with
the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its
estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
SECTION 8.11. Tax Matters.
------------
It is intended that the assets with respect to which any REMIC
election is to be made, as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall
constitute, and that the conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be
such as to qualify such assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit"
as defined in and in accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of
such intention, the Trustee covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent
(and the Trustee is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of any such
REMIC and that in such capacity it shall: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be
prepared and filed, in a timely manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment
Conduit Income Tax Return (Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the
Internal Revenue Service) and prepare and file or cause to be prepared and
filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state or local tax
authorities income tax or information returns for each taxable year with
respect to any such REMIC, containing such information and at the times and in
the manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws,
regulations, or rules, and furnish or cause to be furnished to
Certificateholders the schedules, statements or information at such times and
in such manner as may be required thereby; (b) within thirty days of the
Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Internal Revenue
Service, on Forms 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name,
title, address, and telephone number of the person that the holders of the
Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto, together with
such additional information as may be required by such Form, and update such
information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code; (c) make
or cause to be made elections that such assets be treated as a REMIC on the
federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if necessary, under
applicable state law); (d) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and
forwarded, to the Certificateholders and to the Internal Revenue Service and,
if necessary, state tax authorities, all information returns and reports as
and
VIII-6
when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions,
including without limitation, the calculation of any original issue discount
using the Prepayment Assumption; (e) provide information necessary for the
computation of tax imposed on the transfer of a Residual Certificate to a
Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through
entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest
(the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be
charged to the Person liable for such tax); (f) to the extent that they are
under its control conduct matters relating to such assets at all times that
any Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status as a REMIC under
the REMIC Provisions; (g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or
omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status
of any REMIC; (h) pay, from the sources specified in the last paragraph of
this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including
prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on any such REMIC
prior to its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but
such obligation shall not prevent the Trustee or any other appropriate Person
from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent
the Trustee from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending
the outcome of such proceedings); (i) ensure that federal, state or local
income tax or information returns shall be signed by the Trustee or such other
person as may be required to sign such returns by the Code or state or local
laws, regulations or rules; (j) maintain records relating to any such REMIC,
including but not limited to the income, expenses, assets and liabilities
thereof and the fair market value and adjusted basis of the assets determined
at such intervals as may be required by the Code, as may be necessary to
prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information; and (k)
as and when necessary and appropriate, represent any such REMIC in any
administrative or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by
any governmental taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to
any taxable year of any such REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any
governmental taxing agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any
tax item of any such REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of any such REMIC in
relation to any tax matter or controversy involving it.
In order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set forth
herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
within ten (10) days after the Closing Date all information or data that the
Trustee requests in writing and determines to be relevant for tax purposes to
the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without
limitation, the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flows
of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Thereafter, the Depositor shall
provide to the Trustee promptly upon written request therefor, any such
additional information or data that the Trustee may, from time to time,
reasonably request in order to enable the Trustee to perform its duties as set
forth herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Trustee for any losses,
liabilities, damages, claims or expenses of the Trustee arising from any
errors or miscalculations of the Trustee that result from any failure of the
Depositor to provide, or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data
to the Trustee on a timely basis.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of
any REMIC hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net
income from foreclosure property" of such REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c)
of the Code, on any contribution to any REMIC hereunder after the Startup Day
pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed,
including, without limitation, any minimum tax imposed upon any REMIC
hereunder pursuant to Sections 23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and
Taxation Code, if not paid as otherwise provided for herein, such tax shall be
paid by (i) the Trustee, if any such other tax arises out of or results from a
breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the
Master Servicer, in the case of any such minimum tax, or if such tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer or Seller of any of
their obligations under this Agreement, (iii) the Seller, if any such tax
arises out of or results from the Seller's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03 or (iv) in all other cases, or in the
event that the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Seller fails to honor its
obligations under
VIII-7
the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), any such tax will be paid with
amounts otherwise to be distributed to the Certificateholders, as provided in
Section 3.08(b).

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of all Mortgage Loans.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the
Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer and the Trustee created hereby with
respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase
by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans (and REO Properties) remaining in
the Trust Fund at the price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the Stated
Principal Balance of each Mortgage Loan plus one month's accrued interest
thereon at the applicable Adjusted Mortgage Rate and (ii) the lesser of (x)
the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by the higher of two
appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by the Master
Servicer at the expense of the Master Servicer and (y) the Stated Principal
Balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any REO Property, in each case plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Adjusted Mortgage Rate
and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation (or any Advance
with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund
and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant
to this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond
the earlier of (i) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor
of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof and (ii) the
Latest Possible Maturity Date.
The Master Servicer shall have the right to purchase all Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties in the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) in the
preceding paragraph of this Section 9.01 only on or after the date on which
the Master Servicer determines that the customary and reasonable costs and
expenses incurred in the performance of the Master Servicer of its servicing
obligations hereunder exceed the benefits accruing to the Master Servicer;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer exercise its
right to purchase all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in the Trust Fund
pursuant to clause (a) in the preceding paragraph of this Section 9.01 before
the date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance, at the time of any such
repurchase, is less than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the Cut-off Date
Pool Principal Balance.
SECTION 9.02. Final Distribution on the Certificates.
---------------------------------------
If on any Determination Date, the Master Servicer determines that
there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the
Trust Fund other than the funds in the Certificate Account, the Master
Servicer shall direct the Trustee promptly to send a final distribution notice
to each Certificateholder and MBIA. If the Master Servicer elects to terminate
the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 9.01, at least 20 days prior
to the date notice is to be mailed to the affected Certificateholders, the
Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor, MBIA and the Trustee of the date
the Master Servicer intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of the applicable
repurchase price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the
Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates
for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given
promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier
than the 10th day and no later than the 15th day of the month next preceding
the month of such final distribution. Any such notice shall specify (a) the
Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be
made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein
designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the location of the
office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and
(d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
IX-1
applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Master Servicer will
give such notice to each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to
Certificateholders.
In the event such notice is given, the Trustee shall cause all funds
on deposit in the Reserve Fund in excess amounts to be distributed to the
Class 1-A-4 Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, to be
distributed to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, the beneficial owner of the
Reserve Fund, at the addresses supplied by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated
to the Trustee for such purpose, and the Master Servicer shall cause all funds
in the Certificate Account to be remitted to the Trustee for deposit in the
Distribution Account on or before the Business Day prior to the applicable
Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of
the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and
the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee
shall promptly release to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for the
Mortgage Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to MBIA and the Certificateholders of each
Class, in each case on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth
in Section 4.02, in the case of MBIA, all amounts required to be distributed
to it pursuant to Section 4.02 and, in the case of the Certificateholders, in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount equal to (i) as to each Class
of Regular Certificates, the Certificate Balance thereof plus (a) accrued
interest thereon (or on their Notional Amount, if applicable) in the case of
an interest bearing Certificate and (b) any Class PO Deferred Amounts in the
case of Class PO Certificates, and (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the
amount, if any, which remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other
than the amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause
(i) above. Notwithstanding the reduction of the Class Certificate Balance of
any Class of Subordinated Certificates to zero, such Class will be outstanding
hereunder (solely for the purpose of receiving distributions and not for any
other purpose) until the termination of the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article IX.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not
surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a
second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect
thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may
take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to
contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the
second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, MBIA, with respect to any Reimbursement Amounts and then the
Class A-R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and
other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto.
SECTION 9.03. Additional Termination Requirements.
------------------------------------
(a) In the event the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option
as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance
with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has been
supplied with an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Master Servicer, to
the effect that the failure to comply with the requirements of this Section
9.03 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" on any REMIC as defined in section 860F of the Code, or (ii)
cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificates are outstanding:
IX-2
(1) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date
set forth in the notice given by the Master Servicer under
Section 9.02, the Master Servicer shall prepare and the
Trustee, at the expense of the "tax matters person," shall
adopt a plan of complete liquidation within the meaning of
section 860F(a)(4) of the Code which, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall not be an expense of
the Trustee or the Tax Matters Person), meets the requirements
of a qualified liquidation; and
(2) Within 90 days after the time of adoption of such a
plan of complete liquidation, the Trustee shall sell all of the
assets of the Trust Fund to the Master Servicer for cash in
accordance with Section 9.01.
(b) The Trustee, as agent for any REMIC created hereunder, hereby
agrees to adopt and sign such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written
request of the Master Servicer, and the receipt of the Opinion of Counsel
referred to in Section 9.03(a)(1) and to take such other action in connection
therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Master Servicer.
(c) By their acceptance of the Certificates, the Holders thereof
hereby authorize the Master Servicer to prepare and the Trustee to adopt and
sign a plan of complete liquidation.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01. Amendment.
----------
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders (i) to cure any ambiguity or mistake, (ii) to correct any
defective provision herein or to supplement any provision herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provision herein, (iii) to conform this Agreement
to the Prospectus Supplement provided to investors in connection with the
initial offering of the Certificates, (iv) to add to the duties of the
Depositor, the Seller or the Master Servicer, (v) to add any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising hereunder or (vi) to modify,
alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in
this Agreement; provided that any action pursuant to clauses (v) or (vi) above
shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder; provided,
however, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person
requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that
the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the
respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates without regard to the
Class 1-A-4 Policy; it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and
of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such
amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues
affecting any such rating. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment that
significantly changes the permitted activities of the trust created by this
Agreement may be made without the consent of a Majority in Interest of each
Class of Certificates affected by such amendment. The Trustee, the Depositor
and the Master Servicer also may at any time and from time to time amend this
Agreement without the consent of the Certificateholders to modify, eliminate
or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or
helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of any REMIC as a REMIC under the
Code, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on any
REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time prior to the
final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other
requirements of the Code, provided that the Trustee has been provided an
Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting
such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Trust Fund, to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to, as
applicable, (i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk
of the imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of
the Code.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders
of a Majority in Interest of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the
timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the
consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in
a manner other than as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of
Certificates of such Class evidencing, as to such Class, Percentage Interests
aggregating 66-2/3%, or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates
the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without
the consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding or (iv)
adversely affect in any material respect the rights and interest of MBIA in
any of the following provisions of this Agreement without its consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld: (a) the definitions of "Class
1-A-4 Premium" and "Reimbursement Amount" in Article I, (b) clauses (1) and
(4) of Section 4.02(a), (c) Section 10.01 and (d) Sections 4.05 and 10.11.
X-1
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an
expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment
will not cause the imposition of any tax on any REMIC or the
Certificateholders or cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement
requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to each
Certificateholder, MBIA and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment,
but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject
to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be
an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund), satisfactory to the Trustee that
(i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and
that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and
(ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth
in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant
to this Section 10.01.
SECTION 10.02. Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts.
---------------------------------------
This Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public
offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable
jurisdictions in which any or all of the properties subject to the Mortgages
are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or
elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Master Servicer at its
expense, but only upon direction by the Trustee accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially
affects the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one
and the same instrument.
SECTION 10.03. Governing Law.
--------------
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY
THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE
AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
SECTION 10.04. Intention of Parties.
---------------------
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance
of the (i) of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Depositor and (ii) Trust
Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be
X-2
construed as, an absolute sale thereof to the Trustee. It is, further, not the
intention of the parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof.
However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such
assets are held to be the property of the Seller or Depositor, as the case may
be, or if for any other reason this Agreement or any Supplemental Transfer
Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in either such
assets, then (i) this Agreement or any Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall
be deemed to be a security agreement (within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of New York) with respect to all such assets and
security interests and (ii) the conveyances provided for in this Agreement or
any Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment and a
grant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (i) by the Seller to the
Depositor or (ii) by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets that
constitute the Trust Fund, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
The Seller and the Depositor for the benefit of the
Certificateholders shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take
such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed
to create a security interest in the Trust Fund, such security interest would
be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under
applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the
Agreement. The Depositor shall arrange for filing any Uniform Commercial Code
continuation statements in connection with any security interest granted or
assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
SECTION 10.05. Notices.
--------
(a) The Trustee shall use its best efforts to promptly provide
notice to each Rating Agency with respect to each of the following of which it
has actual knowledge:
1. Any material change or amendment to this Agreement;
2. The occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been cured;
3. The resignation or termination of the Master Servicer or the
Trustee and the appointment of any successor;
4. The repurchase or substitution of Mortgage Loans pursuant to
Section 2.03;
5. The final payment to Certificateholders; and
6. Any rating action involving the long-term credit rating of the
Master Servicer , which notice shall be made by first-class mail within
two Business Days after the Trustee gains actual knowledge thereof.
In addition, the Trustee shall promptly furnish to each Rating
Agency copies of the following:
1. Each report to Certificateholders described in Section 4.06;
2. Each annual statement as to compliance described in Section 3.16;
3. Each annual independent public accountants' servicing report
described in Section 3.17; and

2.02, 2.03 or 3.11.

Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. ("Countrywide") hereby makes the
representations and warranties set forth in this Schedule III to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as of the Closing Date, or if
so specified herein, as of the Initial Cut-off Date and with respect to the
Supplemental Mortgage Loans, as of the Supplemental Cut-off Date. Capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined in this Schedule III shall have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling
and Servicing Agreement") relating to the above-referenced Series, among

servicer, CWMBS, Inc., as depositor, and The Bank of New York, as trustee.

and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date and with
respect to each Supplemental Mortgage Loan is true and correct in all
material respects as of the related Supplemental Transfer Date.
(2) As of the Closing Date, all payments due with respect to each
Initial Mortgage Loan prior to the Initial Cut-off Date have been made;
and as of the Initial Cut-off Date, no Mortgage Loan has been
contractually delinquent for 30 or more days during the twelve months
prior to the Initial Cut-off Date. As of each Supplemental Transfer Date,
all payments due with respect to each related Supplemental Mortgage Loan
prior to the related Supplemental Cut-off Date will have been made; and
as of each Supplemental Cut-off Date, no related Supplemental Mortgage
Loan will have been contractually delinquent for 30 or more days during
the twelve months prior to that Supplemental Cut-off Date.
(3) No Initial Mortgage Loan had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at
origination in excess of 95.00%.
(4) Each Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the
Mortgaged Property subject only to (a) the lien of non delinquent current
real property taxes and assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and
restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record
as of the date of recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing
of record being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally or
specifically reflected in the appraisal made in connection with the
origination of the related Mortgage Loan, and (c) other matters to which
like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere
with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such
Mortgage.
(5) Immediately prior to the assignment of each Mortgage Loan to the
Depositor, the Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, such
Mortgage Loan free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security
interest and had full right and authority, subject to no interest or
participation of, or agreement with, any other party, to sell and assign
the same pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
S-III-1
(6) There is no delinquent tax or assessment lien against any
Mortgaged Property.
(7) There is no valid offset, defense or counterclaim to any
Mortgage Note or Mortgage, including the obligation of the Mortgagor to
pay the unpaid principal of or interest on such Mortgage Note.
(8) There are no mechanics' liens or claims for work, labor or
material affecting any Mortgaged Property which are or may be a lien
prior to, or equal with, the lien of such Mortgage, except those which
are insured against by the title insurance policy referred to in item
(12) below.
(9) As of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Mortgage
Loans and as of the related Supplemental Transfer Date with respect to
the Supplemental Mortgage Loans, to the best of the Seller's knowledge,
each Mortgaged Property is free of material damage and in good repair.
(10) Each Mortgage Loan at origination complied in all material
respects with applicable local, state and federal laws, including,
without limitation, usury, equal credit opportunity, predatory and
abusive lending laws, real estate settlement procedures, truth-in-lending
and disclosure laws, and consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws.
(11) As of the Closing Date in the case of the Initial Mortgage
Loans and as of the related Supplemental Transfer Date with respect to
the Supplemental Mortgage Loans, neither the Seller nor any prior holder
of any Mortgage has modified the Mortgage in any material respect (except
that a Mortgage Loan may have been modified by a written instrument which
has been recorded or submitted for recordation, if necessary, to protect
the interests of the Certificateholders and the original or a copy of
which has been delivered to the Trustee); satisfied, cancelled or
subordinated such Mortgage in whole or in part; released the related
Mortgaged Property in whole or in part from the lien of such Mortgage; or
executed any instrument of release, cancellation, modification or
satisfaction with respect thereto.
(12) A lender's policy of title insurance together with a
condominium endorsement and extended coverage endorsement, if applicable,
in an amount at least equal to the Cut-off Date Stated Principal Balance
of each such Mortgage Loan or a commitment (binder) to issue the same was
effective on the date of the origination of each Mortgage Loan, each such
policy is valid and remains in full force and effect, and each such
policy was issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located and acceptable to
FNMA or FHLMC and is in a form acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, which policy
insures the Seller and successor owners of indebtedness secured by the
insured Mortgage, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage subject
to the exceptions set forth in paragraph (4) above; to the best of the
Seller's knowledge, no claims have been made under such mortgage title
insurance policy and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including
the Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage of such mortgage title insurance policy.
(13) Each Mortgage Loan was originated (within the meaning of
Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by
an entity that satisfied at the time of origination the requirements of
Section 3(a)(41) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
S-III-2
(14) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, all of the improvements
which were included for the purpose of determining the Appraised Value of
the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of such property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property.
(15) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, no improvement located
on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any
applicable zoning law or regulation. To the best of the Seller's
knowledge, all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made
or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property
and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not
limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates,
have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities, unless the
lack thereof would not have a material adverse effect on the value of
such Mortgaged Property, and the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied
under applicable law.
(16) Each Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine, and
each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with its terms and under applicable law. To the
best of the Seller's knowledge, all parties to the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage had legal capacity to execute the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
and each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been duly and properly executed
by such parties.
(17) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loans have been fully disbursed,
there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and
as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.
All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, or closing or recording
the Mortgage Loans were paid.
(18) The related Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security, including, (i) in the case of a Mortgage
designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by
judicial foreclosure.
(19) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust, a
trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such
Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the
Certificateholders to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor.
(20) Each Mortgage Note and each Mortgage is in substantially one of
the forms acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, with such riders as have been
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC, as the case may be.
(21) There exist no deficiencies with respect to escrow deposits and
payments, if such are required, for which customary arrangements for
repayment thereof have not been made, and no escrow deposits or payments
of other charges or payments due the Seller have been capitalized under
the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note.
(22) The origination, underwriting and collection practices used by
the Seller with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all respects
legal, prudent and customary in the mortgage lending and servicing
business.
S-III-3
(23) There is no pledged account or other security other than real
estate securing the Mortgagor's obligations.
(24) No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, or other
contingent interest feature.
(25) Each Mortgage Loan contains a customary "due on sale" clause.
(26) 4 of the Initial Mortgage Loans provide for a prepayment
penalty.
(27) Each Mortgage Loan which had a Loan-to-Value Ratio at
origination in excess of 80% is the subject of a Primary Insurance Policy
that insures that portion of the principal balance equal to a specified
percentage times the sum of the remaining principal balance of the
related Mortgage Loan, the accrued interest thereon and the related
foreclosure expenses. The specified percentage is 12% for Loan-to-Value
Ratios between 80.01% and 85.00%, 25% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between
85.01% and 90.00%, 30% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 90.01% and 95.00%
and 35% for Loan-to-Value Ratios between 95.01% and 100%. Each such
Primary Insurance Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer. All provisions
of any such Primary Insurance Policy have been and are being complied
with, any such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums due
thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such Primary
Insurance Policy obligates either the Mortgagor or the mortgagee
thereunder to maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges
in connection therewith, subject, in each case, to the provisions of
Section 3.09(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Mortgage Rate
for each Mortgage Loan is net of any such insurance premium.
(28) As of the related Cut-off Date, the improvements upon each
Mortgaged Property are covered by a valid and existing hazard insurance
policy with a generally acceptable carrier that provides for fire and
extended coverage and coverage for such other hazards as are customary in
the area where the Mortgaged Property is located in an amount which is at
least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the
improvements securing such Mortgage Loan or (ii) the greater of (a) the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such
that the proceeds of such policy shall be sufficient to prevent the
Mortgagor and/or the mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer. If the
Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the
coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the condominium unit. All such
individual insurance policies and all flood policies referred to in item
(29) below contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller or the
original mortgagee, and its successors in interest, as mortgagee, and the
Seller has received no notice that any premiums due and payable thereon
have not been paid; the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to
maintain all such insurance including flood insurance at the Mortgagor's
cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes
the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at the
Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor.
(29) If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the
Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having
special flood hazards, a flood insurance policy in a form meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Flood Insurance
Administration is in effect with respect to such Mortgaged Property with
a generally acceptable carrier in an amount representing coverage not
less than the least of (A) the original outstanding principal balance of
the Mortgage Loan, (B) the minimum amount required to compensate for
damage or loss on a replacement cost basis, or (C) the maximum amount of
insurance that is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, as amended.
S-III-4
(30) To the best of the Seller's knowledge, there is no proceeding
occurring, pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of
the Mortgaged Property.
(31) There is no material monetary default existing under any
Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and, to the best of the Seller's
knowledge, there is no material event which, with the passage of time or
with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration under
the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note; and the Seller has not waived
any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.
(32) Each Mortgaged Property is improved by a one- to four-family
residential dwelling including condominium units and dwelling units in
PUDs, which, to the best of Seller's knowledge, does not include
cooperatives or mobile homes and does not constitute other than real
property under state law.
(33) Each Mortgage Loan is being master serviced by the Master
Servicer.
(34) Any future advances made prior to the Cut-off Date have been
consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the
Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a
single interest rate and single repayment term reflected on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Note does
not permit or obligate the Master Servicer to make future advances to the
Mortgagor at the option of the Mortgagor.
(35) All taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water,
sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which
previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has
been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which
remains unpaid and which has been assessed, but is not yet due and
payable. Except for (A) payments in the nature of escrow payments, and
(B) interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of
disbursement of the Mortgage proceeds, whichever is later, to the day
which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of
principal and interest, including without limitation, taxes and insurance
payments, the Master Servicer has not advanced funds, or induced,
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other
than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount
required by the Mortgage.
(36) Other than with respect to any Streamlined Documentation
Mortgage Loan as to which the loan-to-value ratio of the related Original
Mortgage Loan was less than 90% at the time of the origination of such
Original Mortgage Loan, prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan
application, an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was obtained
from a qualified appraiser, duly appointed by the originator, who had no
interest, direct or indirect, in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan
made on the security thereof, and whose compensation is not affected by
the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan; such appraisal is in a
form acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC.
(37) None of the Initial Mortgage Loans are graduated payment
mortgage loans or a growing equity mortgage loans, and none of the
Initial Mortgage Loans are subject to a buydown or similar arrangement.
(38) Any leasehold estate securing a Mortgage Loan has a term of not
less than five years in excess of the term of the related Mortgage Loan.
S-III-5
(39) Each Mortgage Loan was underwritten in all material respects in
accordance with the Seller's underwriting guidelines as set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement.
(40) Except for 462 Initial Mortgage Loans, each Mortgage Loan has a
payment date on or before the Due Date in the month of the first
Distribution Date.
(41) With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which an affidavit has
been delivered to the Trustee certifying that the original Mortgage Note
is a Lost Mortgage Note, if such Mortgage Loan is subsequently in
default, the enforcement of such Mortgage Loan or of the related Mortgage
by or on behalf of the Trustee will not be materially adversely affected
by the absence of the original Mortgage Note. A "Lost Mortgage Note" is a
Mortgage Note the original of which was permanently lost or destroyed and
has not been replaced.
(42) The Mortgage Loans, individually and in the aggregate, conform
in all material respects to the descriptions thereof in the Prospectus
Supplement.
(43) The aggregate principal balance of the Discount Mortgage Loans
will not exceed $115,262,389.86.
(44) None of the Mortgage Loans are subject to the Georgia Fair
Lending Act, as amended.
(45) The Mortgage Loans were selected from among the outstanding
fixed-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans in Countrywide's portfolio
at the Closing Date as to which the representations and warranties made
as to the Mortgage Loans set forth in this Schedule III can be made. Such
selection was not made in a manner intended to adversely affect the
interests of Certificateholders.
(46) None of the mortgage loans are "high cost" loans as defined by
applicable predatory and abusive lending laws.
(47) None of the Mortgage Loans are covered by the Home Ownership
and Equity Protection Act of 1994 ("HOEPA").

the denomination of this Certificate by the aggregate Initial Notional Amount
of all Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs) in certain
monthly distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of the
Mortgage Loans deposited by CWMBS, Inc. (the "Depositor"). The Trust Fund was
created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of the Cut-off
Date specified above (the "Agreement") among the Depositor, Countrywide Home
Loans, Inc., as seller (the "Seller"), Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, as
D-2
master servicer (the "Master Servicer") and The Bank of New York, as trustee
(the "Trustee"). 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.
[Until this certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying
Underwriting, no transfer of a Certificate of this Class shall be made unless
the Trustee shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the
transferee of such Certificate, acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that such transferee is not an
employee benefit plan subject to Section 406 of ERISA or a plan subject to
Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of or investing plan
assets of any such plan, which representation letter shall not be an expense
of the Trustee or the Master Servicer, or (ii) in the case of any such
Certificate presented for registration in the name of an employee benefit plan
subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or comparable provisions of any
subsequent enactments), or a trustee of any such plan or any other person
acting on behalf of any such plan, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Master Servicer to the effect that the purchase or holding of
such Certificate will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and will not subject the
Trustee or the Master Servicer to any obligation in addition to those
undertaken in the Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Trustee or the Master Servicer. Such representation shall be deemed to
have been made to the Trustee by the Transferee's acceptance of a Certificate
of this Class and by a beneficial owner's acceptance of its interest in a
Certificate of this Class. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
herein, until such certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying
Underwriting, any purported transfer of a Certificate of this Class to or on
behalf of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or to the Code without the
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be
void and of no effect.]
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate
set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
This Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement
or be valid for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an authorized

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as CWMBS, Inc. Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the Series
specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the "Certificates"),
and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund created by
the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that
it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations
of rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the 25th day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable
Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest
evidenced by this Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to
Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to
each Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the month next preceding
the month of such Distribution Date.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days
prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall satisfy the
conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the Agreement, or, if
not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such
Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or
such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such
final distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the
requisite Percentage Interest, as provided in the Agreement. Any such consent
by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate
issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof
whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
E-1
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by
the Trustee in New York, New York, accompanied by a 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 the same Class in
authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
in the Trust Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates
are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee and any
agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither
the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice
to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Stated Principal Balance is
less than or equal to 10% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, the
Master Servicer will have the option, subject to the limitations set forth in
the Agreement, to repurchase, in whole, from the Trust Fund all remaining
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of the Mortgage Loans at a
purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement. In the event that no
such optional termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created
by the Agreement will terminate upon the later of the maturity 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 in respect
thereof and the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to
be distributed pursuant to the Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust
created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the
death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the
Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed
inconsistent with that meaning.

STATE OF )
) SS.:
COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The undersigned is an officer of , the proposed
----------------
Transferee of an Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate (the
"Certificate") issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (the
"Agreement"), relating to the above-referenced Series, by and among CWMBS,
Inc., as depositor (the "Depositor"), Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., as seller,
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP, as master servicer and The Bank of New
York, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or in Exhibit
1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. The
Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this affidavit on behalf of
the Transferee.
2. The Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date
of the Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account or as the nominee,
trustee or agent of another Person, in which case the Transferee has attached
hereto an affidavit from such Person in substantially the same form as this
affidavit. The Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax
will be imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not
Permitted Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if
such Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and
(iii) the Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability
for the tax if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit
that such subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of
Transfer, such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be
imposed on a "pass-through entity" holding the Certificate if at any time
during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a
Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest in such entity. The
Transferee understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with
respect to which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an
affidavit that such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the
pass-through entity does not have actual
I-1
knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this purpose, a "pass-through
entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment
trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain
cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, persons
holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another Person.)
5. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the
Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference)
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide
by the provisions of Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement and the restrictions
noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee understands and agrees
that any breach of any of the representations included herein shall render the
Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby null and void.
6. The Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person
to whom the Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the
Certificate, and in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the
Transferee is acting as nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not
Transfer its Ownership Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be
Transferred to any Person that the Transferee knows is not a Permitted
Transferee. In connection with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the
Transferee agrees to deliver to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form set forth as Exhibit J to the Agreement (a "Transferor Certificate") to
the effect that such Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to
which the Transfer is to be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect to the
Certificate.
8. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number is .
------------------
9. The Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code Section
7701(a)(30).
10. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the
transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
11. The Transferee anticipates that it will, so long as it holders the
Class A-R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the
holder of such Class A-R Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the
benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class A-R Certificates that
the Transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class A-R
Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class A-R
Certificates. The Transferee has provided financial statements or other
financial information requested by the Transferor in connection with the
transfer of the Class A-R Certificates to permit the Transferor to assess the
financial capability of
I-2
the Transferee to pay such taxes. The Transferee is not an employee benefit
plan that is subject to ERISA or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the
Code, and the Transferee is not acting on behalf of such a plan.
12. Either (i) the Transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on
behalf of any such plan or using the assets of such plan to effect such
acquisition, or, (ii) the source of funds for the purchase of such Class A-R
Certificate is an "insurance company general account" within the meaning of
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (PTCE 95-60"), 60 Fed. Reg. 35925
(July 12, 1995), and the terms and conditions of Sections I and III of PTCE
95-60 are applicable to the acquisition and holding of such Class A-R
Certificate.

thereof and any other interest therein, whether direct or indirect, legal or
beneficial.
"Permitted Transferee": Any Person other than (i) the United States, any
State or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of
any of the foregoing, (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or
any agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an
organization (except certain farmers' cooperatives described in Code Section
521) which is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the
tax imposed by Code Section 511 on unrelated business taxable income) on any

Class A-R Certificate, (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives
described in Code Section 1381(a)(2)(c), (v) a Person that is not a citizen or

tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or

States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the

Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement
--------------------------------
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class A-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
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class A-R
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class A-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.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Class A-R Certificate may be
registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee
shall not register the Transfer of any Class A-R Certificate unless, in
addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee
under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with
an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner or the
proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class A-R Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Class A-R Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or

in a Class A-R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the
purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder
of a Class A-R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored
to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of Transfer of such Class A-R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class A-R
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this
Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder
under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was
registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit, Transferor
Certificate and either the Rule 144A Letter or the Investment Letter. The
Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of
a Class A-R
I-6
Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it
became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a
Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Class A-R Certificate at
and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee
shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding
Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available, upon
receipt of written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to
compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of the Code as a result of

Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.

but subject to a repurchase agreement and (viii) currency, interest rate and
commodity swaps.
4. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of securities
owned and/or invested on a discretionary basis by the Buyer, the Buyer used
the cost of such securities to the Buyer and did not include any of the
securities referred to in the preceding paragraph, except (i) where the Buyer
reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of
their market value, and (ii) no current information with respect to the cost
of those securities has been published. If clause (ii) in the preceding
sentence applies, the securities may be valued at market. Further, in
determining such aggregate amount, the Buyer may have included securities
owned by subsidiaries of the Buyer, but only if such subsidiaries are
consolidated with the Buyer in its financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and if the investments of such
subsidiaries are managed under the Buyer's direction. However, such securities
were not included if the Buyer is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of
L-4
another enterprise and the Buyer is not itself a reporting company under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
5. The Buyer acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and
understands that the seller to it and other parties related to the
Certificates are relying and will continue to rely on the statements made
herein because one or more sales to the Buyer may be in reliance on Rule 144A.
6. Until the date of purchase of the Rule 144A Securities, the
Buyer will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of
any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice is
given, the Buyer's purchase of the Certificates will constitute a
reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase. In
addition, if the Buyer is a bank or savings and loan is provided above, the
Buyer agrees that it will furnish to such parties updated annual financial
statements promptly after they become available.

FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL TRANSFER AGREEMENT
THIS SUPPLEMENTAL TRANSFER AGREEMENT, dated as of ,
------------
200 (this "Supplemental Transfer Agreement"), among CWMBS, INC., a Delaware
-
corporation, as depositor (the "Depositor"), COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., a
New York corporation, as seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
referred to below ( the "Seller"), and The Bank of New York, a New York
banking corporation, as trustee (the "Trustee");
WHEREAS, the Depositor, the Seller, the Trustee and Countrywide
Home Loans Servicing LP, as Master Servicer, have entered in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of [month] 1, 2003 (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement"), in relation to the CHL Mortgage Pass-Through Trust 200 - ,
- -
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 200 - ;
- -
WHEREAS, Section 2.01(e) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
provides for the parties hereto to enter into this Supplemental Transfer
Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good
and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged the parties hereto agree as follows:
(a) The "Supplemental Transfer Date" with respect to this Supplemental
Transfer Agreement shall be , 200 .
-------- -
(b) The "Aggregate Supplemental Purchase Amount" with respect to this
Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be $ ; provided, however, that
--------
such amount shall not exceed the amount on deposit in the Supplemental Loan
Account.
(c) The "Capitalized Interest Requirement" with respect to this
Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be $ ; provided, however, that
--------
such amount shall not exceed the amount on deposit in the Capitalized Interest
Account.
(d) The Supplemental Mortgage Loans conveyed on the Supplemental Transfer
Date shall be determined by the Seller as follows:
(i) The Seller shall list all funded mortgage loans then owned by it
that qualify for inclusion in the Trust Fund by the date on which they
were funded, and for each date, the Mortgagors shall be listed
alphabetically. Beginning with the earliest date, sequentially by date
and within a date alphabetically, the listed loans shall be included in
the Trust Fund until either their aggregate Stated Principal Balance is
less than or equal to the Supplemental Purchase Amount without exceeding
it or all of the listed loans have been transferred.
(ii) Once the potential Supplemental Mortgage Loans are identified
in this manner, the total potential Trust Fund shall be tested for
compliance with the characteristics identified in Section 2.01(e) after
taking into account the addition of such potential Supplemental Mortgage
Loans. If any group characteristic is outside any permitted parameter by
more than 5% of the
P-1
parameter (or 10% of such parameter, with respect to the Average Stated
Principal Balance, or 10 basis points of such parameter, with respect to
the weighted average mortgage rate, or two months of such parameter, with
respect to the weighted average remaining term to maturity) then
beginning with the last mortgage loan initially added as a potential
Supplemental Mortgage Loan and progressing in reverse order, any
potential Supplemental Mortgage Loan having a characteristic that is
outside of the permitted parameters of a parameter violated by the
potential Supplemental Mortgage Loans in the aggregate shall be removed.
Then additional mortgage loans shall be added as provided in the
preceding paragraph except that no mortgage loan shall be added if it has
a characteristic that is outside of the permitted parameters of a
parameter violated by the potential Supplemental Mortgage Loans in the
aggregate. This procedure shall be repeated until the pool
characteristics for the Trust Fund identified in Section 2.01(e) are
satisfied within 5% of each parameter (other than with respect to the
Average Stated Principal Balance for which it must be within 10%, the
weighted average mortgage rate for which it must be within 10 basis
points, and the weighted average remaining term to maturity for which it
must be within two months) of each parameter specified in those
representations and warranties after taking into account the addition of
the potential Supplemental Mortgage Loans.
(e) In case any provision of this Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall not in any way
be affected or impaired thereby.
(f) In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Supplemental Transfer Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the
provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall prevail.
(g) This Supplemental Transfer Agreement shall be governed by, and shall
be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York.
(h) The Supplemental Transfer Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument.
