(1) The Class 1-A-X and Class 2-A-X Certificates will be Notional Amount
Certificates, will have no Class Principal Balance and will bear interest
on their respective initial Notional Amounts (initially, $[o] and $[o],
respectively).
(2) Minimum denomination is based on the Notional Amount of such Class.
(3) The Class 1-A-P and Class 2-A-P Certificates are principal only
certificates and are not entitled to receive any distributions of
interest.
(4) The Pass-Through Rate for the Class 2-A-1 Certificates for the Interest
Accrual Period related to any Distribution Date will be a per annum rate
equal to the sum of one-month LIBOR plus [o]%, subject to a maximum per
annum rate of [o]% and a minimum rate of [o]%. The Pass-Through Rate for
the Class 2-A-1 Certificates for the first Interest Accrual Period will be
a per annum rate of [o]%.
(5) The Class A-R Certificates represent the sole Class of residual interest
in each REMIC.
(6) The Class A-R Certificate shall be issued as two separate certificates,
one with an initial Certificate Balance of $[99.99] and the Tax Matters
Person Certificate with an initial Certificate Balance of $[0.01].
(7) The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Subordinated Certificates for the
Interest Accrual Period related to any Distribution Date will be a per
annum rate equal to the sum of: (A) the sum of: (1) [o]% multiplied by the
excess of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Collateral
Allocation Group [1] Mortgage Loans as of the Due Date in the month
preceding the month of that Distribution Date (after giving effect to
prepayments received in the Prepayment Period related to such prior Due
Date) over the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the Group [1]
Senior Certificates immediately prior to that Distribution Date and (2)
[o]% multiplied by the excess of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Collateral Allocation Group [2] Mortgage Loans as of the Due Date in
the month preceding the month of that Distribution Date (after giving
effect to prepayments received in the Prepayment Period related to such
prior Due Date) over the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the
Group [2] Senior Certificates immediately prior to that Distribution Date.
(8) The Class P Certificates will receive all payments in respect of
prepayment penalties on all of the Mortgage Loans in each Loan Group owned
by the Trust and are not entitled to receive any distributions of
interest.
The foregoing provisions in the Preliminary Statement are intended to
cause net interest and principal collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans to
be distributed from the Subsidiary REMIC to the Master REMIC and from the Master
REMIC to each Class of Certificates. The Preliminary Statement will be
interpreted and applied consistently with such intent.
For any purpose for which the pass-through rates is calculated, the
interest rate on the Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately adjusted to account
for the difference between the monthly day count convention of the Mortgage
Loans and the monthly day count convention of the regular interests issued by
each of the REMICs. For purposes of calculating the pass-through rates for each
of the interests issued by the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC such rates
shall be adjusted to equal a monthly day count convention based on a 30 day
month for each Due Period and a 360-day year so that the Mortgage Loans and all
regular interests will be using the same monthly day count convention.
vii
The fiscal year of each REMIC will end on December 31.

(vi) No Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002 through

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Seller or the related Originator or
receipt of written notice of any materially defective document in, or, following
the date of delivery to the Trustee of the Custodian's certifications as
required under the related Custodial Agreements, that a document is missing
from, a Trustee Mortgage File, or discovery by the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Seller or the related Originator of the breach by such Originator or Seller of
any representation or warranty under the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, in the case of the Originator, or
under this Agreement, in the case of the Seller, in respect of any Mortgage Loan
which materially adversely affects the value of that Mortgage Loan or the
interest therein of the Certificateholders (a "Defective Mortgage Loan") (each
of the Depositor, the Seller and the related Originator hereby agreeing to give
written notice thereof to the Trustee and the other of such parties), the
Trustee, or its designee, shall promptly notify the Depositor and the Seller or
the related Originator, as applicable, in writing of such nonconforming or
missing document or breach and request that the Seller or related Originator
deliver such missing document or cure or cause the cure of such defect or breach
within a period of time specified in the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement, and if the Seller or related Originator, as applicable, does not
deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach in all material
respects during such period, the Trustee, shall enforce the obligations of the
related Originator under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, as
modified by the Acknowledgement, or the Seller under this Agreement, as
applicable, and cause the related Originator or the Seller, as the case may be,
to repurchase that Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at the Purchase Price on or
prior to the Determination Date following the
49
expiration of such specified period (subject to Section 2.05(c) below);
provided, however, that, in connection with any such breach that could not
reasonably have been cured within such specified period (unless permitted a
greater period of time to cure under the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement), subject to Section 2.05(c) below, if the related Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, shall have commenced to cure such breach within such
specified period, the related Originator or the Seller shall be permitted to
proceed thereafter diligently and expeditiously to cure the same within such
additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such breach. To the extent
that the amount by which the Purchase Price (as defined in this Agreement)
exceeds the repurchase price payable by the related Originator under the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, including any costs and damages that are
incurred by the Trust Fund as a result of any violation of any applicable
federal, state, or local predatory or abusive lending law arising from or in
connection with the origination of any Mortgage Loan repurchased by the related
Originator or the Seller, the payment of such excess shall be borne by the
Seller. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited
in the related Distribution Account, and the Trustee, or its designee, upon
receipt of written certification from the Securities Administrator of such
deposit, shall release or cause the Custodian to release to the related
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Trustee Mortgage File and
shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each
case without recourse, representation or warranties, as either party shall
furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in such party any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto and the Trustee, or its designee, shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Trustee Mortgage File (it being understood
that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for determining the sufficiency of
such assignment for its intended purpose). If pursuant to the foregoing
provisions the related Originator or the Seller repurchases a Mortgage Loan that
is a MERS Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall cause MERS to designate on
the MERS(R) System the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, as the
beneficial holder of such Mortgage Loan.
In lieu of repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, either
party may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from the Trust Fund (in which
case it shall become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more
Replacement Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 2.05(b) below. It is understood and agreed that the obligations
of the Originators and the Seller to cure or to repurchase (or to substitute
for) any related Mortgage Loan as to which a document is missing, a material
defect in a constituent document exists or as to which such a breach has
occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy against the such
party respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) Any substitution of Replacement Mortgage Loans for Deleted Mortgage
Loans made pursuant to Section 2.05(a) above must be effected prior to the last
Business Day that is within two years after the Closing Date. As to any Deleted
Mortgage Loan for which the related Originator or the Seller substitutes a
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by
delivering to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, for such Replacement
Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, any related assignment
thereof and the Acknowledgement to the Trustee, and such other documents and
agreements, with all necessary endorsements thereon, together with an Officers'
Certificate stating that each such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies the
definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Adjustment Amount (as
described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. Monthly
50
Payments due with respect to Replacement Mortgage Loans in the month of
substitution shall not be included as part of the Trust Fund and shall be
retained by the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For the month
of substitution, distributions to the Certificateholders shall reflect the
collections and recoveries in respect of such Deleted Mortgage in the Due Period
preceding the month of substitution and the related Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently
received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, such
Replacement Mortgage Loan shall constitute part of the Trust Fund and shall be
subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the related Purchase
and Servicing Agreement, as modified by the related Acknowledgement, including
all representations and warranties thereof included in such Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, as modified by the Acknowledgement, in each case as of the
date of substitution.
For any month in which an Originator or the Seller substitutes one or more
Replacement Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the related
Servicer shall determine the excess (each, a "Substitution Adjustment Amount"),
if any, by which the aggregate Purchase Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans
exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Replacement Mortgage Loans
replacing such Deleted Mortgage Loans, together with one month's interest on
such excess amount at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of such
substitution, the related Originator or Seller, as applicable, shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the related Servicer for deposit in the related
Custodial Account an amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment Amount,
if any, and the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, upon receipt of the related
Replacement Mortgage Loan or Loans and certification by such Servicer of such
deposit, shall release to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
the related Trustee Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
related Originator or Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to
vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall
obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution (either
specifically or as a class of transactions) shall not cause an Adverse REMIC
Event. If such Opinion of Counsel cannot be delivered, then such substitution
may only be effected at such time as the required Opinion of Counsel can be
given.
(c) Upon discovery by the related Originator, the Seller, the Master
Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not
constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of
the Code, the party discovering such fact shall within two Business Days give
written notice thereof to the other parties. In connection therewith, the
applicable party shall repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 2.05(b), substitute one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for the
affected Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of
such notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Any such repurchase or
substitution shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.05(a)
above and/or in accordance with this Section 2.05(c). The Trustee shall
re-convey to the related Originator or the Seller, as applicable, 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.
Section 2.06 Grant Clause.
51
(a) It is intended that the conveyance of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to property constituting the Trust Fund pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute, and shall be construed as, a sale of such property
and not a grant of a security interest to secure a loan. However, if such
conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (1) the
rights and obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement; (2) the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Holders of the Certificates a first priority security interest in
all of the Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, the Trust Fund and all proceeds of any and all
property constituting the Trust Fund to secure payment of the Certificates; and
(3) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.
If such conveyance is deemed to be in respect of a loan and the trust created by
this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person
holding any Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall continue in
full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the collateral agent
for the benefit of such Person, and all proceeds shall be distributed as herein
provided.
(b) The Depositor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement,
take such reasonable actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this
Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Loans and
the other property described above, such security interest would be deemed to be
a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. The Depositor will, at
its own expense, make all initial filings on or about the Closing Date and shall
forward a copy of such filing or filings to the Trustee. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Depositor shall prepare and forward for filing,
or shall cause to be forwarded for filing, at the expense of the Depositor, all
filings necessary to maintain the effectiveness of any original filings
necessary under the relevant UCC to perfect the Trustee's security interest in
or lien on the Mortgage Loans, including without limitation (x) continuation
statements, and (y) such other statements as may be occasioned by (1) any change
of name of an Originator, the Depositor or the Trustee, (2) any change of
location of the place of business or the chief executive office of the Seller or
the Depositor, (3) any transfer of any interest of an Originator or the
Depositor in any Mortgage Loan or (4) any change under the relevant UCC or other
applicable laws. Neither the Originators nor the Depositor shall organize under
the law of any jurisdiction other than the State under which each is organized
as of the Closing Date (whether changing its jurisdiction of organization or
organizing under an additional jurisdiction) without giving 30 days prior
written notice of such action to its immediate and intermediate transferee,
including the Trustee. Before effecting such change, any Originator or the
Depositor proposing to change its jurisdiction of organization shall prepare and
file in the appropriate filing office any financing statements or other
statements necessary to continue the perfection of the interests of its
immediate and intermediate transferees, including the Trustee, in the Mortgage
Loans. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each
of the Originators and the Depositor authorizes its immediate or intermediate
transferee (but not the Trustee) to file in any filing office any initial
financing statements, any amendments to financing statements, any continuation
statements, or any other statements or filings described in this paragraph (b).

this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such
Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided

53
company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the Certificate
Registrar may prescribe; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall
not be relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of
such appointment.
Section 3.03 Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) A Certificate (other than Book-Entry Certificates which shall be
subject to Section 3.09 hereof) may be transferred by the Holder thereof only
upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the
Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment duly
executed by such Holder or his duly authorized attorney in such form as shall be
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar. Upon the transfer of any Certificate
in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Securities Administrator on
behalf of the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver to the transferee, one or more new Certificates of the
same Class and evidencing, in the aggregate, the same aggregate Certificate
Balance (or Notional Amount) as the Certificate being transferred. No service
charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any registration of transfer of
Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer of Certificates.
(b) A Certificate may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for any number of
new Certificates of the same Class, in authorized denominations, representing in
the aggregate the same Certificate Balance (or Notional Amount) as the
Certificate surrendered, upon surrender of the Certificate to be exchanged at
the office of the Certificate Registrar duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer duly executed by such Holder or his duly
authorized attorney in such form as is satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar. Certificates delivered upon any such exchange will evidence the same
obligations, and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges, as the
Certificates surrendered. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder
for any exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any exchange of Certificates. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Securities Administrator on
behalf of the Trustee shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate, date and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder
making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(c) By acceptance of a Restricted Certificate, whether upon original
issuance or subsequent transfer, each Holder of such a Certificate acknowledges
the restrictions on the transfer of such Certificate set forth thereon and
agrees that it will transfer such a Certificate only as provided herein.
The following restrictions shall apply with respect to the transfer and
registration of transfer of a Restricted Certificate to a transferee that takes
delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate:
(i) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a
Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is (x) to the Depositor
or an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the 0000 Xxx) of the
Depositor or (y) being made to a "qualified
54
institutional buyer" (a "QIB") as defined in Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") by a transferor that has
provided the Certificate Registrar with a certificate in the form of
Exhibit H hereto; and
(ii) The Certificate Registrar shall register the transfer of a
Restricted Certificate if the requested transfer is being made to an
"accredited investor" under Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Act,
or to any Person all of the equity owners in which are such accredited
investors, by a transferor who furnishes to the Certificate Registrar a
letter of the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto.
(d) No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate in the form of a
Definitive Certificate shall be made to any Person or shall be effective unless
the Certificate Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (A) a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (or Exhibit B, in the
case of a Residual Certificate) from such transferee or (B) an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar and the Securities
Administrator to the effect that the purchase and holding of such a Certificate
will not constitute or result in any nonexempt prohibited transactions under
Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the
Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in
the Agreement; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar will not
require such certificate or opinion in the event that, as a result of a change
of law or otherwise, counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar has
rendered an opinion to the effect that the purchase and holding of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate by a Plan or a Person that is purchasing or holding
such a Certificate with the assets of a Plan will not constitute or result in a
prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and
will not subject the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Depositor or the Securities Administrator to any obligation in addition to
those undertaken in this Agreement. Each Transferee of an ERISA-Restricted
Certificate that is a Book-Entry Certificate shall be deemed to have made the
appropriate representation set forth in paragraph 2 and the representation set
forth in paragraph 3 of Exhibit J. The preparation and delivery of the
certificate and opinions referred to above shall not be an expense of the Trust
Fund, the Certificate Registrar, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Depositor
or the Securities Administrator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no opinion or certificate shall be required
for the initial issuance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates to the
Underwriter. The Certificate Registrar shall have no obligation to monitor
transfers of Book-Entry Certificates that are ERISA-Restricted Certificates and
shall have no liability for transfers of such Certificates in violation of the
transfer restrictions. The Certificate Registrar 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 3.03(d) and neither the Securities
Administrator nor the Paying Agent shall have any liability 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 Certificate Registrar in accordance
with the foregoing requirements. The Securities Administrator, on behalf of the
Trustee, shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan or a Person acting on
behalf of a Plan any payments made on such ERISA-Restricted Certificate at and
after such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Securities Administrator,
on
55
behalf of the Trustee, shall be paid and delivered by the Securities
Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, to the last preceding Holder of such
Certificate that is not such a Plan or Person acting on behalf of a Plan.
(e) As a condition of the registration of transfer or exchange of any
Certificate, the Certificate Registrar may require the certified taxpayer
identification number of the owner of the Certificate and the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed in connection
therewith; provided, however, that the Certificate Registrar shall have no
obligation to require such payment or to determine whether or not any such tax
or charge may be applicable. No service charge shall be made to the
Certificateholder for any registration, transfer or exchange of a Certificate.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Residual
Certificate may be owned, pledged or transferred, directly or indirectly, by or
to (i) a Disqualified Organization or (ii) an individual, corporation or
partnership or other person unless such person (A) is not a Non-U.S. Person or
(B) is a Non-U.S. Person that holds a Residual Certificate in connection with
the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and has furnished
the transferor and the Certificate Registrar with an effective Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8ECI or successor form at the time and in the manner required by
the Code (any such person who is not covered by clause (A) or (B) above is
referred to herein as a "Non-permitted Foreign Holder").
Prior to and as a condition of the registration of any transfer, sale or
other disposition of a Residual Certificate, the proposed transferee shall
deliver to the Certificate Registrar an affidavit in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B representing and warranting, among other things,
that such transferee is neither a Disqualified Organization, an agent or nominee
acting on behalf of a Disqualified Organization, nor a Non-permitted Foreign
Holder (any such transferee, a "Permitted Transferee"), and the proposed
transferor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar an
affidavit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. In addition,
the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may (but shall have no obligation to)
require, prior to and as a condition of any such transfer, the delivery by the
proposed transferee of an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar, that such proposed transferee or, if the proposed
transferee is an agent or nominee, the proposed beneficial owner, is not a
Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or a Non-permitted Foreign
Holder. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any
transfer, sale, or other disposition of a Residual Certificate to a Disqualified
Organization, an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, such
registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and
such Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted
Foreign Holder shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose
hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such
Residual Certificate. The Depositor and the Certificate Registrar shall be under
no liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of a Residual
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof or
Non-permitted Foreign Holder or for the Paying Agent making any payments due on
such Residual Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action
with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Agreement, so long as
the transfer was effected in accordance with this Section 3.03(f), unless the
Certificate Registrar shall have actual knowledge at the time of such transfer
or the time of such payment or other action that the transferee is a
Disqualified
56
Organization, or an agent or nominee thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder.
The Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to recover from any Holder of a
Residual Certificate that was a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee
thereof, or Non-permitted Foreign Holder at the time it became a Holder or any
subsequent time it became a Disqualified Organization, agent or nominee thereof,
or Non-permitted Foreign Holder, all payments made on such Residual Certificate
at and after either such times (and all costs and expenses, including but not
limited to attorneys' fees, incurred in connection therewith). Any payment (not
including any such costs and expenses) so recovered by the Certificate Registrar
shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Residual
Certificate.
If any purported transferee shall become a registered Holder of a Residual
Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 3.03(f), then upon
receipt of written notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that the
registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate was not in fact permitted
by this Section 3.03(f), the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of such
registration of transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Depositor, the
Certificate Registrar and 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 this Section 3.03(f), or for the Paying Agent making any payment
due on such Certificate to the registered Holder thereof or for taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so
long as the transfer was registered upon receipt of the affidavit described in
the preceding paragraph of this Section 3.03(f).
(g) Each Holder or Certificate Owner of a Restricted Certificate,
ERISA-Restricted Certificate or Residual Certificate, or an interest therein, by
such Holder's or Owner's acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to
have consented to the provisions of this section.
Section 3.04 Cancellation of Certificates.
Any Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be cancelled and retained in accordance with normal retention policies with
respect to cancelled certificates maintained by the Certificate Registrar.
Section 3.05 Replacement of Certificates.
If (i) any Certificate is mutilated and is surrendered to the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar or (ii) the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to
its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and there
is delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar
that such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate has been acquired by a protected
purchaser, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall execute
and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or
in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like tenor and Certificate Balance. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section 3.05, the Trustee, the Depositor or the
Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any
other expenses (including the fees and
57
expenses of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Certificate Registrar) connected
therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.05
shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the
applicable Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen
or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
If after the delivery of such new Certificate, a protected purchaser of
the original Certificate in lieu of which such new Certificate was issued
presents for payment such original Certificate, the Depositor, the Certificate
Registrar and the Trustee or any agent shall be entitled to recover such new
Certificate from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking
therefrom, except a protected purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon
the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage,
cost or expenses incurred by the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the
Trustee or any agent in connection therewith.
Section 3.06 Persons Deemed Owners.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 with respect to Book-Entry
Certificates, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator,
the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and any agent of any of
them shall treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered upon the
books of the Certificate Registrar as the owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and for
all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying
Agent nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 3.07 Temporary Certificates.
(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, upon the order of
the Depositor, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall
execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver temporary
Certificates that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor
of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such
variations as the authorized officers executing such Certificates may determine,
as evidenced by their execution of such Certificates.
(b) If temporary Certificates are issued, the Depositor will cause
definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be
exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary
Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar without charge
to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Certificates, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall
execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like aggregate Certificate Balance of definitive Certificates of the
same Class in the authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Agreement as definitive Certificates of the same Class.
Section 3.08 Appointment of Paying Agent.
58
The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed as the initial Paying
Agent. The Trustee may appoint a successor Paying Agent (which may be the
Trustee) for the purpose of making distributions to the Certificateholders
hereunder. The Trustee shall cause any Paying Agent, other than the Securities
Administrator, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent will hold all
sums held by it for the payment to the Certificateholders in an Eligible Account
(which shall be the Distribution Account) in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to the
Certificateholders. All funds remitted by the Securities Administrator to any
such Paying Agent for the purpose of making distributions shall be paid to the
Certificateholders on each Distribution Date and any amounts not so paid shall
be returned on such Distribution Date to the Securities Administrator. If the
Paying Agent is not the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, the Securities
Administrator shall cause to be remitted to the Paying Agent on or before the
Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, by wire transfer in immediately
available funds, the funds to be distributed on such Distribution Date. Any
Paying Agent shall be either a bank or trust company or otherwise authorized
under law to exercise corporate trust powers.
Section 3.09 Book-Entry Certificates.
(a) Each Class of Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall
be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the
Book-Entry Certificates. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be
registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the nominee of the
Clearing Agency, and no Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate
representing such Certificate Owner's interest in the Book-Entry Certificates,
except as provided in Section 3.09(c). Unless Definitive Certificates have been
issued to Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to Section
3.09(c):
(i) the provisions of this Section 3.09 shall be in full force and
effect;
(ii) the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Trustee
shall deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes (including the making
of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the authorized
representatives of the Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and
shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distributions to the
accounts of such Persons entitled thereto, in accordance with the Clearing
Agency's normal procedures;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.09
conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of
this Section 3.09 shall control; and
(iv) the rights of Certificate Owners shall be exercised only
through the Clearing Agency and the Clearing Agency Participants and shall
be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
Certificate Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing Agency
Participants. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant
to Section 3.09(c), the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry
transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit
distributions of principal of and interest on the Book-Entry Certificates
to such Clearing Agency Participants.
59
(b) Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is
required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall
have been issued to Certificate Owners pursuant to Section 3.09(c), the
Securities Administrator shall give all such notices and communications
specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the
Clearing Agency.
(c) If (i) (A) the Clearing Agency or the Depositor advises the
Certificate Registrar in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing
or able to discharge properly its responsibilities with respect to the
Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified
successor satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar or (ii)
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners representing
beneficial interests aggregating not less than 50% of the Class Principal
Balance of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates advise the Paying Agent and the
Clearing Agency through the Clearing Agency Participants in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in
the best interests of the Certificate Owners of a Class of Book-Entry
Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify the Clearing Agency to
effect notification to all Certificate Owners, through the Clearing Agency, of
the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive
Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the
Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the Clearing Agency,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Clearing Agency for
registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue the Definitive Certificates.
Neither the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable
for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to
be performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and
performed by the Certificate Registrar, to the extent applicable, with respect
to such Definitive Certificates and the Certificate Registrar shall recognize
the holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate Registrar, upon the instruction
of the Depositor, shall have the right to issue Definitive Certificates on the
Closing Date in connection with credit enhancement programs.

Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall provide, or cause to be
provided, (or, to the extent that such information or documentation is not
required to be provided by a Servicer under the applicable Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such information and
documentation from such Servicer, and provide) to such Certificateholders such
reports and access to information and documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
as such Certificateholders may reasonably deem necessary to comply with
applicable regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision or its successor or
other regulatory authorities with respect to an investment in the Certificates;
provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to be
reimbursed by such Certificateholders for the Securities Administrator's actual
expenses incurred in providing such reports and access.
ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS OF CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 Distributions Generally.
(a) Subject to Section 7.01 respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator or the
Paying Agent shall make all distributions in accordance with this Article V.
Such distributions shall be made by check
65
mailed to each Certificateholder's address as it appears on the Certificate
Register of the Certificate Registrar or, upon written request made to the
Securities Administrator at least five Business Days prior to the related Record
Date by any Certificateholder owning an aggregate initial Certificate Balance of
at least $1,000,000, or in the case of a Class of Interest-Only Certificates or
Residual Certificate, a Percentage Interest of not less than 100%, by wire
transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified in the request
and at the expense of such Certificateholder; provided, however, that the final
distribution in respect of any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificate at the Certificate Registrar's Corporate Trust
Office; provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any
Class of Certificates as long as such Certificate remains a Book-Entry
Certificate in which case all payments made shall be made through the Clearing
Agency and its Clearing Agency Participants. Notwithstanding the reduction of
the Class Principal Balance of any Class of 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 Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee hereunder in accordance with Article
VII. Wire transfers will be made at the expense of the Holder requesting such
wire transfer by deducting a wire transfer fee from the related distribution.
Notwithstanding such final payment of principal of any of the Certificates, each
Residual Certificate will remain outstanding until the termination of each REMIC
and the payment in full of all other amounts due with respect to the Residual
Certificates and at such time such final payment in retirement of any Residual
Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificate at the Certificate Registrar's Corporate Trust Office. If any
payment required to be made on the Certificates is to be made on a day that is
not a Business Day, then such payment will be made on the next succeeding
Business Day.
(b) All distributions or allocations made with respect to the
Certificateholders within each Class on each Distribution Date shall be
allocated among the outstanding Certificates in such Class equally in proportion
to their respective initial Class Principal Balances or initial Class Notional
Amounts (or Percentage Interests).

Groups remaining after making the distributions described in Section 5.02(a)(1),
Section 5.02(a)(2) and Section 5.02(a)(3) above, will be distributed to the
Subordinated Certificates and the Class [A-R] Certificates in the following

(S) to the Class [A-R] Certificates, any remaining funds in
the Trust Fund; provided, however, that such amounts shall not
include the $[100] held in trust for the Class P Certificates.]
On each Distribution Date, all amounts representing Prepayment Penalties
received by the Securities Administrator with respect to the related Prepayment
Period will be distributed to the holders of the Class P Certificates. On the
Distribution Date in ___________ 200_, the $[100] held in trust for the Class P
Certificates will be distributed to the holders of the Class P Certificates.
On any Distribution Date, amounts distributed in respect of Class A-P
Deferred Amounts will not reduce the Class Principal Balance of the related
Class of Class A-P Certificates.
On any Distribution Date, to the extent the Amount Available for Senior
Principal related to a Collateral Allocation Group is insufficient to make the
full distribution required to be made pursuant to subclause (iv)(x) above for
such Collateral Allocation Group, (A) the amount distributable on the related
Class of Class A-P Certificates in respect of principal pursuant to such
subclause (iv)(x) shall be equal to the product of (1) the Amount Available for
Senior Principal for that Collateral Allocation Group and Distribution Date and
(2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the A-P Formula Principal Amount for
that Collateral Allocation Group and Distribution Date and the denominator of
which is the sum of the A-P Formula Principal Amount and the Senior Principal
Distribution Amount for that Collateral Allocation Group and Distribution Date
and (B) the amount distributable on the Senior Certificates, other than the
related Class of Class A-P Certificates, in respect of principal pursuant to
clause (iv)(y) shall be equal to the product of (1) the Amount Available for
Senior Principal for that Collateral Allocation Group and Distribution Date and
(2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Senior Principal Distribution
Amount for that Collateral Allocation Group and Distribution Date and the
denominator of which is the sum of the Senior Principal Distribution Amount and
the A-P Formula Principal Amount for that Collateral Allocation Group and
Distribution Date.
(b) On each Distribution Date with respect to each Class or Component of
Accrual Certificates, the Accrual Amount for such Class or Component for such
Distribution Date shall not (except as provided in the second to last sentence
in this paragraph) be distributed as interest with respect to such Class or
Component of Accrual Certificates, but shall instead be added to the related
Class Principal Balance of such Class on the related Distribution Date. With
respect to any Distribution Date on which principal payments on any Class or
Component of Accrual Certificates are distributed pursuant to Section
[5.02(a)(1)(iv)(y) or Section 5.02(a)(2)(iv)(y)], as applicable, the related
Accrual Amount shall be deemed to have been added on such Distribution Date to
the related Class Principal Balance or Component Balance (and included in the
amount distributable on the related Class or Classes or Component of Accretion
Directed Certificates pursuant to [Section 5.02(a)(1)(iii) or Section
5.02(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,
70
towards the reduction of the Class Principal Balance or Component Balance of
such Class or Component of Accrual Certificates immediately prior to such
Distribution Date.
(c) On each Distribution Date on or after the Senior Credit Support
Depletion Date, notwithstanding the allocations and priorities set forth in
Section [5.02(a)(1)(iv)(y)] and Section [5.02(a)(2)(iv)(y)], the portion of
Available Funds available to be distributed as principal of the Senior
Certificates in each Senior Certificate Group (other than any related Class of
Class A-P Certificates) shall be distributed concurrently, as principal, on such
Classes, pro rata, on the basis of their respective Class Principal Balances,
until the Class Principal 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 Collateral Allocation 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 or prior
to a Senior Termination Date on the Assumed Interest Amount and on or after such
Senior Termination Date, the related Class' Class Optimal Interest Distribution
Amount for such Distribution Date, without taking into account such Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and (ii) the related Class' Allocable Share of
(A) after the Special Hazard Coverage Termination Date, with respect to the
Applicable Fraction of each Mortgage Loan in the related Collateral Allocation
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 Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of the Applicable
Fraction of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in such month over the amount
of Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest on the Applicable Fraction of such
Mortgage Loan with respect to such month, (B) after the Bankruptcy Coverage
Termination Date, with respect to each 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 allocable to the Applicable Fraction of such Mortgage Loan,
(C) each Relief Act Shortfall for the Applicable Fractions of Mortgage Loans in
the related Collateral Allocation 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 the Applicable Fraction of each Mortgage Loan
in the related Collateral Allocation 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 Net Mortgage Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of the
Applicable Fraction of such Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in such month over
the amount of Liquidation Proceeds applied as interest on the Applicable
Fraction of such Mortgage Loan with respect to such month.
(e) Notwithstanding the priority and allocation contained in Section
5.02(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
71
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 the outstanding Classes of
Subordinated Certificates having lower numerical Class designations than such
Class, pro rata, based on their respective Class Principal Balances immediately
prior to such Distribution Date and shall be distributed in the sequential order
provided in Section 5.02(a)(4). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, the Class of Subordinated Certificates then outstanding with the
highest distribution priority shall not be a Restricted Class.
(f) If Subsequent Recoveries have been received with respect to a
Liquidated Mortgage Loan or Applicable Fraction thereof, the amount of such
Subsequent Recoveries will be applied sequentially, in the order of payment
priority, to increase the Class Principal 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 5.04. 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.
Section 5.03 [Reserved].
Section 5.04 Allocation of Losses.
(a) On or prior to each Distribution Date, the Securities Administrator
shall aggregate the information provided by each Servicer with respect to the
total amount of Realized Losses, including Excess Losses, experienced on the
Mortgage Loans for the related Distribution Date.
(b) Realized Losses with respect to the Mortgage Loans on any Distribution
Date shall be allocated as follows:
(i) the applicable A-P Percentage of any Realized Loss, including
any Excess Loss, on a Mortgage Loan, based upon the related Applicable
Fraction, in a Collateral Allocation Group shall be allocated to the
related Class of Class A-P Certificates, until the Class Principal Balance
thereof is reduced to zero; and
(ii) (A) the applicable Non-A-P 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 Principal Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero,
and second to the Senior Certificates (other than the Class A-P
Certificates or the Notional Amount Certificates, as applicable), pro rata
on the basis of their respective Class Principal Balances, in the case of
any Class of Accrual Certificates or Accrual Component, on the basis of
the lesser of their Class Principal Balance or Component
72
Balance, as applicable, and their initial Class Principal Balance or
Component Balance, as applicable, in each case immediately prior to the
related Distribution Date until the respective Class Principal Balance of
each such Class is reduced to zero.
(B) the applicable Non-A-P Percentage of any Excess Losses on the
Mortgage Loans, based upon the related Applicable Fraction, in a
Collateral Allocation Group shall be allocated to the Classes of
Certificates of the related Senior Certificate Group (other than the Class
A-P Certificates or the Notional Amount Certificates, as applicable) and
the Subordinated Certificates then outstanding, pro rata, on the basis of,
with respect to such Senior Certificates, their respective Class Principal
Balances, or in the case of any Class of Accrual Certificates or Accrual
Component, on the basis of the lesser of their respective Class Principal
Balance and their respective initial Class Principal 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 Subordinated
Certificates, the applicable Assumed Balance for each such Class relating
to the Collateral Allocation Group in which such Realized Loss occurs;
provided, however, on any Distribution Date after a Senior Termination
Date for a Senior Certificate Group, such Excess Losses on the Applicable
Fractions of the Mortgage Loans in the related Collateral Allocation Group
will be allocated to the Subordinated Certificates on the basis of their
respective Class Principal 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 the Class A-P Certificates or the Notional Amount
Certificates, as applicable) regardless of Senior Certificate Group on the
basis of their respective initial Class Principal 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 Principal Balance and their respective initial
Class Principal 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) The Class Principal 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 each
Class of Class A-P Certificates in respect of related Class A-P Deferred Amounts
and (ii) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of the Class Principal
Balances of all outstanding Classes of Certificates (after giving effect to the
distribution of principal and the allocation of Realized Losses and Class A-P
Deferred Amounts on such Distribution Date) exceeds the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans for the following Distribution Date.
(d) Any Realized Loss allocated to a Class of Certificates or any
reduction in the Class Principal Balance of a Class of Certificates pursuant to
Section 5.04(b) above shall be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in
proportion to their respective Certificate Balances.
(e) 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 5.04(b) above shall be
73
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.
(f) For the avoidance of doubt, no Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans
shall be allocated to the Class P Certificates.
Section 5.05 Advances by the Master Servicer.
If any Servicer fails to remit any Advance required to be made under the
applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall itself
make, or shall cause the successor Servicer to make, such Advance. If the Master
Servicer determines that an Advance is required, it shall on the Business Day
preceding the related Distribution Date immediately following such Determination
Date remit to the Securities Administrator from its own funds (or funds advanced
by the applicable Servicer) for deposit in the Distribution Account immediately
available funds in an amount equal to such Advance. The Master Servicer and each
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all Advances made by it.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the Master
Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that an Advance is
non-recoverable, the Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to make such
Advance. If the Master Servicer determines that an Advance is non-recoverable,
it shall, on or prior to the related Distribution Date, deliver an Officer's
Certificate to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator to such effect.
Section 5.06 Compensating Interest Payments.
The amount of compensation payable to the Securities Administrator in
respect of the Mortgage Loans and any Distribution Date shall be reduced (but
not below zero) by the amount of any aggregate Compensating Interest Payment
from the Servicers for such Distribution Date, but only to the extent that
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls relating to such Distribution Date are required
to be paid by the Servicers pursuant to the Purchase and Servicing Agreements,
as amended by the Acknowledgements, but are not actually paid by the Servicer.
Such amount shall not be treated as an Advance and shall not be reimbursable.
Section 5.07 [Reserved].
Section 5.08 Cross-Collateralization; Adjustments to Available Funds.
(a) On each Distribution Date after the first Senior Termination Date but
prior to the earlier of the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date and a Senior
Termination Date, the Securities Administrator shall distribute the principal
portion of Available Funds on the Applicable Fractions of the Mortgage Loans
relating to the Senior Certificates that will have been paid in full to the
holders of the Senior Certificates of the other Certificate Groups.
(b) If on any Distribution Date the aggregate Class Principal Balance of
the Senior Certificates of a Senior Certificate Group (other than any related
Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof) after giving effect to
distributions to be made on that Distribution Date, is
74
greater than the Non-A-P Pool Balance for that Collateral Allocation Group (any
such group, an "Undercollateralized Group"), all amounts otherwise distributable
as principal to the Subordinated Certificates (or, following the Senior Credit
Support Depletion Date, the amounts described in the following sentence) will be
distributed as principal to the Senior Certificates of that Undercollateralized
Group (other than any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component
thereof) until the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the Senior Certificate
Group (other than any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component
thereof) of the Undercollateralized Group equals the Non-A-P Pool Balance for
that Collateral Allocation Group (such distribution, an "Undercollateralization
Distribution"). If a Senior Certificate Group (other than any related Class of
Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof) constitutes an Undercollateralized
Group on any Distribution Date following the Senior Credit Support Depletion
Date, Undercollateralization Distributions will be made from the excess of
Available Funds for the other Collateral Allocation Groups remaining after all
required amounts for that Distribution Date have been distributed to those
Senior Certificate Groups (other than any related Class of Class A-P
Certificates or Component thereof). If more than one Undercollateralized Group
on any Distribution Date is entitled to an Undercollateralization Distribution,
such Undercollateralization Distribution will be allocated among the
Undercollateralized Groups, pro rata, based upon the amount by which the
aggregate Class Principal Balance of each Class of Senior Certificates in such
Senior Certificate Group (other than any related Class of Class A-P Certificates
or Component thereof) exceeds the sum of the Non-A-P Balances for the related
Undercollateralized Group. If more than one Senior Certificate Group on any
Distribution Date is required to make an Undercollateralization Distribution to
an Undercollateralized Group, the payment of such Undercollateralization
Distributions will be allocated among such Senior Certificate Groups (other than
any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof), pro rata,
based upon the aggregate excess of Available Funds for the Senior Certificate
Groups other than the Undercollateralized Group remaining after all required
amounts for that Distribution Date have been distributed to those Senior
Certificates.
(c) On each Distribution Date after the first Senior Termination Date but
prior to the earlier of the Senior Credit Support Depletion Date and a Senior
Termination Date, the Non-A-P Formula Principal Amount for the Collateral
Allocation Group relating to the Senior Certificate Group that has been paid in
full, will be distributed to the other Senior Certificate Groups (other than any
related Class of Class A-P Certificates or Component thereof), so that each
remaining Senior Certificate Group receives its pro rata portion thereof. If
principal from one Collateral Allocation Group is distributed to the Senior
Certificate Groups (other than any related Class of Class A-P Certificates or
Component thereof) that are not related to that Collateral Allocation Group
according to this paragraph, the Subordinated Certificates will not receive that
principal as a distribution.
Section 5.09 Determination of Pass-Through Rates for LIBOR Certificates.
(a) On each Interest Determination Date so long as any LIBOR Certificates
are outstanding, the Securities Administrator 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
75
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 5.09, the Securities Administrator
shall either (i) request each Reference Bank to inform the Securities
Administrator 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 LIBOR 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 Securities
Administrator 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 Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator, being so
made, or (ii) in the event that the Securities Administrator can determine
no such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month United States dollar lending
rate which New York City banks selected by the Securities Administrator
are quoting on such Interest Determination Date to leading European banks.
(iii) If on any Interest Determination Date the Securities
Administrator 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.
Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the Securities
Administrator will at all times retain at least four Reference Banks for the
purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each Interest Determination Date.
The Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator 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 Securities
76
Administrator shall promptly appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference
Bank. The Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator 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.
(d) In determining LIBOR, any Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates, any Interest Settlement Rate, or any Reserve Interest Rate, the
Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator shall not
have any liability or responsibility to any Person for (i) the 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 5.09.
(e) The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates by the Securities Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest
error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate and
the Securities Administrator.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND
THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR; EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 6.01 Duties of Trustee and the Securities Administrator.
(a) The Trustee, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, and
the Securities Administrator undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Any permissive right of
the Trustee or the Securities Administrator provided for in this Agreement shall
not be construed as a duty of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator. If an
Event of Default has occurred and has not otherwise been cured or waived, the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement and use the same degree of care and skill
in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such Person's own affairs, unless the Trustee is
acting as master servicer, in which case it shall use the same degree of care
and skill (in its capacity as successor Master Servicer) as a master servicer
hereunder.
(b) Each of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, upon receipt of
all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders
or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator
which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form
required by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the
Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any
such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or
other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer or any Servicer to the Trustee
or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not be
required to recalculate or verify any numerical information furnished to the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to
the immediately preceding sentence, if any such resolution, certificate,
statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument is found not to
conform to the form required by this Agreement in a material manner the
Securities Administrator shall take such action as it deems appropriate to cause
the instrument to be corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the
Securities Administrator 's satisfaction, the Securities Administrator will
provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders and will, at the expense of the
Trust Fund, which expense shall be reasonable given the scope and nature of the
required action, take such further action as directed by the Certificateholders.
(c) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any
liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, except for its
respective negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator
shall be liable for special, indirect or consequential losses or damages of any
kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits). No provision of
this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:
78
(i) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in

deemed to have notice of any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer

any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the
Holders of the Certificates and this Agreement;
(iii) For all purposes under this Agreement, the Securities
Administrator shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default
(other than resulting from a failure by the Master Servicer (i) to remit
funds (or to make Advances) or (ii) to furnish information to the
Securities Administrator when required to do so) unless a Responsible
Officer of the Securities Administrator has actual knowledge thereof or
unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is
received by the Securities Administrator at the address provided in
Section 11.07, and such notice references the Holders of the Certificates
and this Agreement;
(iv) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall
have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it; and none of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement;
(v) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
responsible for any act or omission of each other or the Master Servicer,
the Depositor, the Seller, any Servicer or any Custodian.

complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document it may receive or which may
be alleged to have been delivered to or served upon it by the parties as a
consequence of the assignment of any Mortgage Loan hereunder; provided, however,
that the Trustee shall promptly remit to the Master Servicer, upon receipt any
such complaint, claim, demand, notice or other document (i) which is delivered
to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, (ii) of which a Responsible
Officer has actual knowledge, and (iii) which contains information sufficient to
permit the Trustee to make a determination that the real property to which such
document relates is a Mortgaged Property related to a Mortgage Loan.
(e) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be
personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the
Certificateholders of any Class holding Certificates which evidence, as to such
Class, Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to the time, method
and
79
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, under this Agreement or
the Acknowledgements.
(f) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required
to perform services under this Agreement, or to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur financial liability for the performance of any of its duties
hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable
ground for believing that the timely payment of its fees and expenses or the
repayment of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, to perform, or be responsible for the
manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer or any
Servicer under this Agreement or any Purchase and Servicing Agreement except

interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or
depositing or to any rerecording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B)
to see to any insurance, (C) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax,
assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind
owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund
other than from funds available in the Distribution Account, or (D) to confirm
or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Master Servicer or
any Servicer delivered to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator pursuant
to this Agreement believed by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties.
(i) Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be liable
in its individual capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer or other officers of the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts.
(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither
the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be liable for special,
indirect or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including,
but not limited to, lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action.
80
(k) Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Trustee shall be
responsible for the acts or omissions of the other, it being understood that

time to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, of the

Agreement or Acknowledgement or of the Certificates (other than, in the case of
the Securities Administrator, the certificate of authentication on the
Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan, or related document save that the Trustee
and the Securities Administrator represent that, assuming due execution and

be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign

(a) The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Securities Administrator,
the Depositor and the Master Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Depositor will promptly appoint a successor trustee, by written

accordance with the provisions of Section 6.05 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, (ii) the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or
83
a receiver of the Trustee of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of either of their
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation, (iii) (A) a tax is imposed or threatened with respect to the Trust
Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund held by the Trustee is
located due to the location of the Trustee, (B) the imposition of such tax would
be avoided by the appointment of a different trustee and (C) the Trustee fails
to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax (iv) the continued use of the
Trustee would result in a downgrading of the rating by any Rating Agency of any
Class of Certificates with a rating, or (v) the Trustee fails to comply with its
obligations under the penultimate paragraph of Section 6.14(a), in the preceding
paragraph, Section 9.05 or Article XII and such failure is not remedied within
the lesser of 10 calendar days or such period in which the applicable Exchange
Act Report can be filed timely (without taking into account any extensions),
then, in the case of clauses (i) through (iv), the Depositor shall remove the
Trustee and the Depositor shall appoint a successor trustee, acceptable to the
Master Servicer by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed, one copy to the successor trustee, one copy
to the Securities Administrator and one copy to the Master Servicer.
(c) The Holders of more than 50% of the Class Principal Balance (or
Percentage Interest) of each Class of Certificates may at any time upon 30 days'
written notice to the Trustee and to the Depositor remove the Trustee by such
written instrument, signed by such Holders or their attorney-in-fact duly
authorized, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor,
one copy to the Trustee, one copy to the Securities Administrator and one copy
to the Master Servicer; the Depositor shall thereupon appoint a successor
trustee in accordance with this Section.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, as provided
in Section 6.07. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and shall

Trustee who received such notice of dismissal may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
(e) The Securities Administrator shall not resign except in accordance
with the provisions of Sections 9.06 and 9.07 hereof, to the same extent that
the Master Servicer is entitled to resign or assign or delegate, as applicable,
its duties hereunder.
(f) If at any time the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.10 hereof and shall fail to
resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time the
Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged
as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Securities Administrator or of
its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Securities Administrator 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 Securities Administrator or
the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the
appointment of a different Securities Administrator, then the Depositor or the
Trustee may remove the Securities Administrator and appoint a successor
securities administrator by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be
84
delivered to the Securities Administrator so removed, one copy of which shall be
delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy to the successor securities
administrator.
(g) If no successor securities administrator shall have been appointed and
shall have accepted appointment within 60 days after [Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A.],
as Securities Administrator, ceases to be the securities administrator pursuant
to this Section 6.06, then the Trustee (as successor Securities Administrator)
shall perform the duties of the Securities Administrator pursuant to this
Agreement. The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of any change of the
Securities Administrator. In such event, the Trustee shall assume all of the
rights and obligations of the Securities Administrator hereunder arising
thereafter except that the Trustee shall not be (i) liable for losses of the
predecessor Securities Administrator or any acts or omissions of the predecessor
Securities Administrator hereunder, (ii) deemed to have made any representations
and warranties of the Securities Administrator made herein and (iii) subject to
the same resignation limitations as set forth in Section 9.06 hereof; provided,
however, that the Trustee (as successor securities administrator) shall not
resign until a successor securities administrator has accepted appointment
pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof. The Trustee shall not be accountable, shall
have no liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions
hereunder of the Securities Administrator until such time as the Trustee may be
required to act as successor Securities Administrator pursuant to this Section
6.06 and thereupon only for the acts or omissions of the Trustee as successor
Securities Administrator. If the Trustee is unwilling, or unable, to act as
successor Securities Administrator, then, in such event, the Trustee may
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor
Securities Administrator meeting the criteria set forth in Section 9.10 hereof.
Such successor Securities Administrator shall be entitled to the Securities
Administrator Compensation.
(h) The Trustee as successor securities administrator shall be entitled to
be reimbursed for all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the transfer
of the duties of the Securities Administrator by the predecessor Securities
Administrator, including, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated
with the complete transfer of all securities administrator data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such securities administrator data as
may be required by the Trustee as successor securities administrator to correct
any errors or insufficiencies in such securities administrator data or otherwise
to enable the Trustee or successor securities administrator to perform the
duties of the Securities Administrator properly and effectively; provided,
however, that the predecessor Securities Administrator shall not be obligated to
make any such reimbursements if such Securities Administrator was terminated or
removed without cause or if such termination or removal was a result of the
imposition of any tax on the Trust Estate by any state in which the Securities
Administrator or the Trust Fund is located. If such costs are not paid by the
predecessor Securities Administrator, the Trustee shall pay such costs from the
Trust Fund.
(i) The Trustee, as successor Securities Administrator, as compensation
for its activities hereunder as successor Securities Administrator, shall be
entitled to retain or withdraw from the Distribution Account an amount equal to
the Securities Administrator Compensation.
(j) The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Securities Administrator and appoint a
successor securities administrator by written instrument or instruments, in
triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact
85
duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered by the
successor Securities Administrator to the Trustee, one complete set to the
Securities Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so
appointed. Notice of any removal of the Securities Administrator shall be given
to each Rating Agency by the successor securities administrator.
(k) Any resignation or removal of the Securities Administrator and
appointment of a successor securities administrator pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section 6.06 or Section 9.06 shall become effective upon
acceptance by the successor securities administrator of appointment as provided
in Section 6.07 hereof.
(l) If the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer are the same
Person, any removal of the Master Servicer pursuant to an Event of Default shall
also result in the removal of the Securities Administrator and require the
appointment of a successor pursuant to this Section and Section 6.07.
(m) The Securities Administrator shall cooperate with the Trustee and any
successor securities administrator in effecting the termination of the
Securities Administrator's responsibilities and rights hereunder, providing to
the Trustee and successor securities administrator all documents and records in
electronic or other form reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the
Securities Administrator's functions hereunder and for the transfer to the
Trustee or successor Securities Administrator of all amounts in the Distribution
Account or any other account or fund maintained by the Securities Administrator
with respect to the Trust Fund. Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer, as
applicable, nor any other successor, as applicable, 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 caused by (i) the failure of the
predecessor Securities Administrator to deliver, or any delay in delivering,
cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the predecessor Securities
Administrator to cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of
the predecessor Securities Administrator to deliver the related Mortgage Loan
data as required by this Agreement or (iv) restrictions imposed by any
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the predecessor Securities
Administrator. No successor securities administrator 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 caused by (i) the failure of the
Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents or
records to it related to such distribution, or (ii) the failure of Trustee or
the Master Servicer to cooperate as required by this Agreement.

or predecessor securities administrator, as applicable, shall become effective
and such successor trustee or successor securities administrator, as applicable,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with

(y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to
comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to
a replacement Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable.
Section 6.09 Appointment of Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee or Custodian.
87
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, the Trustee,
the Depositor or the Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class
Principal Balance (or Percentage Interest) of every Class of Certificates shall
have the power from time to time to appoint one or more Persons, approved by the
Trustee, to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or as separate
trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of holding title to, foreclosing or
otherwise taking action with respect to any Mortgage Loan outside the state
where the Trustee has its principal place of business where such separate
trustee or co-trustee is necessary or advisable (or the Trustee has been advised
by the Master Servicer that such separate trustee or co-trustee is necessary or
advisable) under the laws of any state in which a property securing a Mortgage
Loan is located or for the purpose of otherwise conforming to any legal
requirement, restriction or condition in any state in which a property securing
a Mortgage Loan is located or in any state in which any portion of the Trust
Fund is located. The separate Trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed
shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of all the Certificateholders
and shall have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be specified in the
instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such appointment shall, or
shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee. The
obligation of the Master Servicer to make Advances pursuant to Section 5.05
hereof shall not be affected or assigned by the appointment of a co-trustee.
(b) Every separate trustee, co-trustee, and custodian shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the
Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of moneys shall be
exercised solely by the Trustee;
(ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee, co-trustee, or
custodian jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any
jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts,
in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations, including the
holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction, shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee,
co-trustee, or custodian;
(iii) no trustee or custodian hereunder shall be personally liable
by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee or custodian
hereunder; and
(iv) the Trustee may at any time, by an instrument in writing
executed by it, with the concurrence of the Depositor, accept the
resignation of or remove any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian, so
appointed by it or them, if such resignation or removal does not violate
the other terms of this Agreement.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall refer to this Agreement and the
conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
88
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 given to the Master Servicer.
(d) Any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian 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, co-trustee or custodian 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.
(e) No separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
6.05 hereunder and no notice to the Certificateholders of the appointment shall
be required under Section 6.07 hereof.
(f) The Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee agrees to
instruct the co-trustees, if any, to the extent necessary to fulfill the
Trustee's obligations hereunder.
(g) The Trust shall pay the reasonable compensation of the co-trustees
(which compensation shall not reduce any compensation payable to the Trustee
under such Section).
Section 6.10 Authenticating Agents.
(a) The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which shall
be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates.
The Securities Administrator is hereby appointed as initial Authenticating
Agent, and the Securities Administrator accepts such appointment. Wherever
reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the
Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by
an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or
of any state, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000,
authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities.
(b) Any Person into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency business of any
Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.
(c) Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving at least 30
days' advance written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Depositor.
The Trustee may at any
89
time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice
of termination to such Authenticating Agent and the Depositor. Upon receiving a
notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6.10, the Trustee may appoint a successor
authenticating agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the
Depositor and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders of
Certificates. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties
and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as Authenticating Agent. No successor authenticating agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.10. No
Authenticating Agent shall have responsibility or liability for any action taken
by it as such at the direction of the Trustee.
Section 6.11 Indemnification of the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator.
The Trustee (in its individual corporate capacity and in its
representative capacity as Trustee hereunder) and the Securities Administrator
and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall be entitled
to indemnification from the Trust Fund for any loss, liability or expense
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
agents or counsel), incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their
part, arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of
the trusts created hereunder or under the Corridor Contract, the Custodial
Agreements, the Purchase and Servicing Agreements or Acknowledgements or in
connection with the performance of their duties hereunder or thereunder
including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties
hereunder or thereunder, provided that:
(i) with respect to any such claim, the Trustee or the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, shall have given the Depositor written
notice thereof promptly after the Trustee, the Securities Administrator,
as applicable, shall have knowledge thereof;
(ii) while maintaining control over its own defense, the Trustee or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall cooperate and consult
fully with the Depositor in preparing such defense; and
(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.11,
the Trust Fund shall not be liable for settlement of any such claim by the
Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, entered into
without the prior consent of the Depositor, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, and shall be construed to include,
but not be limited to any loss, liability or expense under any environmental
law.
Section 6.12 Fees and Expenses of Master Servicer, Securities
Administrator and the Trustee.
90
(a) For so long as [Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association] is the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall be
entitled to be paid by the Master Servicer reasonable compensation for the
Securities Administrator's services hereunder in an amount to be agreed upon

Servicer pursuant to a separate agreement between the Trustee, the Custodians
and the Master Servicer. Any expenses incurred by the Trustee or the Custodians
shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 6.11. Notwithstanding any
provision in any Custodial Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that (i) the Master Servicer shall only be obligated to
pay to each Custodian the fee agreed to by such Custodian and the Master
Servicer in the separate fee agreement referred to above, and (ii) except as may
be expressly set forth therein with respect to the Master Servicer, in no event
shall the Master Servicer have any responsibility or liability for the payment
of any other fees or any expenses or other amounts, if any, that may be payable
to a Custodian under the related Custodial Agreement, all of which shall be
payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Custodial Agreement.
Section 6.13 Collection of Monies.

same Person, any removal of the Securities Administrator pursuant to
Section 6.06.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (i) through (ix) or (xi) of
this Section shall occur with respect to the Master Servicer, then, in each and
every case, subject to applicable law, so long as any such Event of Default
shall not have been remedied within any period of time prescribed by this
Section, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer may, and, if
so directed by (a) Certificateholders evidencing more than 50% of the Class
Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates or (b) the Depositor, in the
case of a failure related to an Exchange Act Filing Obligation; the Trustee
shall by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (with a copy to each Rating
Agency and the Depositor), terminate all of the respective rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the Mortgage Loans
and the proceeds thereof. Subject to Section 6.01(c)(ii), if an Event of Default
described in clause (x) of this Section shall
93
occur with respect to the Master Servicer, then, in each and every case, subject
to applicable law, so long as any such Event of Default shall not have been
remedied within any period of time prescribed by this Section, the Trustee shall
by notice in writing to the Master Servicer terminate all of the respective
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Master
Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer,
and with respect to the Master Servicer only in its capacity as Master Servicer
under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee; and the Trustee is hereby authorized
and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the defaulting 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 affected Mortgage
Loans and related documents or otherwise. The defaulting Master Servicer agrees
to cooperate with the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in effecting the
termination of the defaulting Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights
hereunder as Master Servicer which includes, without limitation, notifying the
Servicers of the assignment of the master servicing function and providing the
Trustee or its designee all documents and records in electronic or other form
reasonably requested by it to enable the Trustee or its designee to assume the
defaulting Master Servicer's functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee
for administration by it of all amounts which shall at the time be or should
have been deposited by the defaulting Master Servicer in the Distribution
Account, any related Custodial Account and any other account or fund maintained
with respect to the Certificates or thereafter received with respect to the
affected Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer being terminated shall bear all
costs of the transfer of the master servicing to the successor master servicer,
including but not limited to those of the Trustee or Securities Administrator
reasonably allocable to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and
expenses, accounting and financial consulting fees and expenses, and costs of
amending the Agreement, if necessary. If such costs are not paid by the
terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall pay such costs from the Trust
Fund.
Notwithstanding the termination of its activities as Master Servicer, any
terminated Master Servicer shall continue to be entitled to reimbursement under
this Agreement to the extent such reimbursement relates to the period prior to
such Master Servicer's termination.
The Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify
the Responsible Officers of the Trustee and the Depositor of the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall occur, the
Trustee, upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee becoming aware of the
occurrence thereof, shall promptly notify the Securities Administrator and each
Rating Agency of the nature and extent of such Event of Default. The Securities
Administrator shall immediately give written notice to the Master Servicer upon
the failure of the Master Servicer to make Advances as required under this
Agreement with a copy to the Trustee.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall provide the
Depositor in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to
comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to
a successor master servicer in the event the Trustee should succeed to the
duties of the Master Servicer as set forth herein.
94
At least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of such appointment,
(x) the Trustee shall provide written notice to the Depositor of such successor
pursuant to this Section 6.14 and (y) such successor Master Servicer shall
provide to the Depositor in writing and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested by the
Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of
Form 8-K with respect to a replacement master servicer.
(b) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination from the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable,
pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, receives the resignation of the Master Servicer evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 9.06, the Trustee, unless another master
servicer shall have been appointed, shall be the successor in all respects to
the Master Servicer, in its capacity as such under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and
powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer,
hereunder, including the obligation to make Advances; provided, however, that
any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the failure of
the Master Servicer to provide information required by this Agreement shall not
be considered a default by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as
applicable, hereunder. In addition, neither the Trustee nor the Securities
Administrator, as applicable, shall have any responsibility for any act or
omission of the Master Servicer prior to the issuance of any notice of
termination. The Trustee shall have no liability relating to the representations
and warranties of the Master Servicer set forth in Section 9.03. In the capacity
as such successor, the Trustee shall have the same limitations on liability
herein granted to the Master Servicer. As compensation for being the successor
master servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive all compensation
payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement. Any successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder also may assume the obligations of the Securities
Administrator hereunder as successor in such capacity shall be entitled to the
compensation payable to the Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 4.02
hereof from and after the date of such assumption.
(c) Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling
to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, or appoint on its own behalf any established
housing and home finance institution servicer, master servicer, servicing or
mortgage servicing institution having a net worth of not less than $15,000,000
and meeting such other standards for a successor master servicer, as are set
forth in this Agreement, as the successor to such Master Servicer in the
assumption of all of the respective responsibilities, duties or liabilities of a
master servicer, like the Master Servicer. Any entity designated by the Trustee,
may be an Affiliate of the Trustee; provided, however, that, unless such
Affiliate meets the net worth requirements and other standards set forth herein
for a successor master servicer, the Trustee, in its individual capacity shall
agree, at the time of such designation, to be and remain liable to the Trust
Fund for such Affiliate's actions and omissions in performing its duties
hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may
make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that
no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession and
may make other arrangements with respect to the master
95
servicing to be conducted hereunder which are not inconsistent herewith. The
Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor master
servicer in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities
and rights hereunder including, without limitation, notifying the Servicers of
the assignment of the master servicing functions and providing the Trustee and
successor master servicer all documents and records in electronic or other form
reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's
functions hereunder and the transfer to the Trustee or such successor all
amounts which shall at the time be or should have been deposited by the Master
Servicer in the Distribution Account, any Custodial Account, or any other
account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates or thereafter be
received with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Neither the Trustee nor the
Securities Administrator, as applicable, nor any other successor, as applicable,
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 caused by
(i) the failure of the Master Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering,
cash, documents or records to it, (ii) the failure of the Master Servicer to
cooperate as required by this Agreement, (iii) the failure of the Master
Servicer to deliver the related Mortgage Loan data as required by this Agreement
or (iv) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction
over the Master Servicer. No 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 caused by (i) the failure of the
Securities Administrator to deliver, or any delay in delivering cash, documents
or records to it related to such distribution, or (ii) the failure of Trustee or
the Securities Administrator to cooperate as required by this Agreement.
Section 6.15 Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Event of Default.
During the continuance of any Event of Default, so long as such Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights
specified in Section 6.14, shall have the right, in its own name and as trustee
of the Trust Fund, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in
equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the
interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders
(including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and
other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy
provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each
and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no
delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or
remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.
Section 6.16 Waiver of Defaults.
More than 50% of the Aggregate Voting Interests of the Certificateholders
may waive any default or Event of Default by the Master Servicer in the
performance of its obligations hereunder, except that a default in the making of
any required deposit to the Distribution Account that would result in a failure
of the Securities Administrator or the Paying Agent to make any required payment
of principal of or interest on the Certificates may only be waived with the
consent of 100% of the affected Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of a
past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver shall
96
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon
except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 6.17 Notification to Holders.
Upon termination of the Master Servicer or appointment of a successor to
the Master Servicer, in each case as provided herein, the Trustee shall promptly
mail notice thereof by first class mail to the Securities Administrator and the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate
Register. The Trustee shall also, within 45 days after the occurrence of any
Event of Default known to the Trustee, give written notice thereof to the
Securities Administrator and the Certificateholders, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived prior to the issuance of such notice and
within such 45-day period.
Section 6.18 Directions by Certificateholders and Duties of Trustee During
Event of Default.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 hereof, during the continuance
of any Event of Default, Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of
the Class Principal Balance (or Percentage Interest) of each Class of
Certificates affected thereby may direct 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; provided,
however, that the Trustee shall be under no obligation to pursue any such
remedy, or to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this
Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) the conducting or defending of any
administrative action or litigation hereunder or in relation hereto and (ii) the
terminating of the Master Servicer or any successor master servicer from its
rights and duties as master servicer hereunder) at the request, order or
direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless such Certificateholders shall
have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it
against the cost, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or
thereby; and, provided further, that, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01,
the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the
Trustee, in accordance with an Opinion of Counsel, determines that the action or
proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith
determines that the action or proceeding so directed would involve it in
personal liability for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction.
Section 6.19 Action Upon Certain Failures of the Master Servicer and Upon
Event of Default.
In the event that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual
knowledge or written notice of any action or inaction of the Master Servicer
that would become an Event of Default, upon the Master Servicer's failure to
remedy the same after notice, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the
Master Servicer.
Section 6.20 Preparation of Tax Returns and Reports.
(a) The Securities Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared on
behalf of the Trust Fund, based upon information calculated in accordance with
this Agreement pursuant to instructions given by the Depositor, and the
Securities Administrator shall file federal tax returns, all in accordance with
Article X hereof. If the Securities Administrator is notified in
97
writing that a state tax return or other return is required, then, at the sole
expense of the Trust Fund, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file
such state income tax returns and such other returns as may be required by
applicable law relating to the Trust Fund, and, if required by state law, shall
file any other documents to the extent required by applicable state tax law (to
the extent such documents are in the Securities Administrator's possession). The
Securities Administrator shall forward copies to the Depositor of all such
returns and Form 1099 supplemental tax information and such other information
within the control of the Securities Administrator as the Depositor may
reasonably request in writing, and shall forward to each Certificateholder such
forms and furnish such information within the control of the Securities
Administrator as are required by the Code and the REMIC Provisions to be
furnished to them, and will prepare and forward to Certificateholders Form 1099
(supplemental tax information) (or otherwise furnish information within the
control of the Securities Administrator) to the extent required by applicable
law. The Master Servicer will indemnify the Securities Administrator and the
Trustee for any liability of or assessment against the Securities Administrator
or the Trustee, as applicable, resulting from any error in any of such tax or
information returns directly resulting from errors in the information provided
by such Master Servicer except to the extent that such information was provided
in reasonable reliance upon information from any Servicer.
(b) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file with the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS"), on behalf of the Trust Fund and each REMIC created
hereunder, an application for an employer identification number on IRS Form SS-4
or by any other acceptable method. The Securities Administrator shall also file

of the Notice of Taxpayer Identification Number Assigned, shall upon request
promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Depositor. The
Securities Administrator shall furnish any other information that is required by
the Code and regulations thereunder to be made available to the
Certificateholders. The Master Servicer agrees that it shall cause each Servicer
to, provide the Securities Administrator with such information related to the
Mortgage Loans in the possession of such Servicer, as may reasonably be required
for the Securities Administrator to prepare such reports.

PURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND
TERMINATION OF THE TRUST FUND
Section 7.01 Purchase of Mortgage Loans; Termination of Trust Fund Upon
Purchase or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer created hereby (other than the
obligation of the Securities Administrator to make payments to the
Certificateholders as set forth in Section 7.02), shall terminate on the
earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan
remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition of all REO Property, (ii) the
sale of the property held by the Trust Fund in accordance with Section 7.01(c)
and (iii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date; provided, however, that in no event
shall the Trust Fund created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the
late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the
date
98
hereof. Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be carried out in such a manner
so that the termination of each REMIC included therein shall qualify as a
"qualified liquidation" under the REMIC Provisions.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) On any Distribution Date occurring on or after the Initial Optional
Purchase Date, the Master Servicer has the option to cause the Trust Fund to
adopt a plan of complete liquidation of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Sections
7.02 and 7.03 hereof to sell all of the property related thereto. If the Master
Servicer elects to exercise such option, it shall no later than 30 days prior to
the Distribution Date selected for purchase of the Mortgage Loans and all other
assets of the Trust Fund related to the Certificates (the "Purchase Date")
deliver written notice to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and
either (a) deposit in the Distribution Account the Redemption Price or (b) state
in such notice that the Redemption Price shall be deposited in the Distribution
Account not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date.
Upon exercise of such option, the property of the Trust Fund shall be sold to
the Master Servicer at a price equal to the Redemption Price.
(d) The Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Trustee and the Custodian shall be reimbursed from the
Redemption Price for any Advances, Servicer Advances, accrued and unpaid
Servicing Fees or other amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any
related assets being purchased pursuant to Section 7.01(c) above that are
reimbursable to such parties (and such other amounts which, if not related to
the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund not being purchased, that
are then due and owing to any such Person) under this Agreement and the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement or the related Custodial Agreement.
Section 7.02 Procedure Upon Termination of Trust Fund.
(a) Notice of any termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.01,
specifying the Distribution Date upon which the final distribution shall be made
or the purchase of the Trust's assets will occur, shall be given promptly by the
Securities Administrator by first class mail to Certificateholders mailed in the
case of a redemption of the Certificates, no later than (i) the first day of the
month in which the Distribution Date selected for redemption of the Certificates
shall occur or (ii) upon (x) the sale of all of the property of the Trust Fund
by the Securities Administrator or in the case of a sale of assets of the Trust
Fund, or (y) upon the final payment or other liquidation of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property in the Trust Fund. Such notice shall specify (A) the
Initial Optional Purchase Date, Distribution Date upon which final distribution
on the Certificates of all amounts required to be distributed to
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 will be made upon presentation and
surrender of the Certificates at the Certificate Registrar's Corporate Trust
Office, and (B) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution
Date is not applicable, distribution being made only upon presentation and
surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Securities
Administrator therein specified. The Securities Administrator shall give such
notice to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Certificate Registrar at the
time such notice is given to Holders of the Certificates. Upon any such
termination, the duties of the Certificate Registrar with respect to the
Certificates shall terminate and the Securities Administrator shall terminate,
the Distribution Account and any
99
other account or fund maintained with respect to the Certificates, subject to
the Securities Administrator's obligation hereunder to hold all amounts payable
to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.
(b) In the event that all of the Holders do not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in
the above-mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator 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 one year after the second notice any Certificates shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Securities Administrator may take
appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of such Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
amounts distributable to such Holders. If within two years after the second
notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Securities Administrator shall deliver any remaining funds being held by it to
the Holder of the Class A-R Certificates and the Holder of the Class A-R
Certificates shall, subject to applicable state law relating to escheatment,
hold all amounts distributable to such Holders for the benefit of such Holders.
No interest shall accrue on any amount held by the Securities Administrator and
not distributed to a Certificateholder due to such Certificateholder's failure
to surrender its Certificate(s) for payment of the final distribution thereon in
accordance with this Section. The foregoing provisions are intended to
distribute to each Class of Certificates any accrued and unpaid interest and/or
principal to which they are entitled based on their Pass-Through Rates and Class
Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts set forth in the Preliminary Statement
upon liquidation of the Trust Fund.
(c) Any reasonable expenses incurred by the Securities Administrator or
the Trustee in connection with any purchase or termination or liquidation of the
Trust Fund shall be reimbursed from proceeds received from the liquidation of
the Trust Fund.
Section 7.03 Additional Trust Fund Termination Requirements.
(a) Any termination of the Trust Fund shall be effected in accordance with
the following additional requirements, unless the Master Servicer, exercising
its option to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 7.01(c),
delivers to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, an Opinion of Counsel
(at the Master Servicer's expense), addressed to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with
the requirements of this Section 7.03 will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event:
(i) Within 89 days prior to the time of the making of the final
payment on the Certificates, upon notification by the Master Servicer that
it intends to exercise its option to cause the termination of the Trust
Fund, the Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trustee shall adopt a
plan of complete liquidation of the Trust Fund on behalf of each REMIC,
meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under the REMIC
Provisions;
(ii) Any sale of the assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section
7.01 shall be a sale for cash and shall occur at or after the time of
adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and prior to the time of
making of the final payment on the Certificates;
100
(iii) On the date specified for final payment of the Certificates,
the Securities Administrator shall make final distributions of principal
and interest on the Certificates in accordance with Section 5.02 and,
after payment of, or provision for any outstanding expenses, distribute or
credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the
Residual Certificates all cash on hand after such final payment (other
than cash retained to meet claims), and the Trust Fund (and each REMIC)
shall terminate at that time; and
(iv) In no event may the final payment on the Certificates or the
final distribution or credit to the Holders of the Residual Certificates
be made after the 89th day from the date on which the plan of complete
liquidation is adopted.
(b) By its acceptance of a Residual Certificate, each Holder thereof
hereby agrees to accept the plan of complete liquidation adopted by the
Securities Administrator on behalf of the Trust under this Section and to take
such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator or any Servicer.
ARTICLE VIII
RIGHTS OF CERTIFICATEHOLDERS
Section 8.01 Limitation on Rights of Holders.
(a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or this Trust Fund, nor entitle such
Certificateholder's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of this
Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no
Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as a Certificateholder, shall
have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the Master Servicer or
the operation and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the
parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms
of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders
from time to time as partners or members of an association, nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any
action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
(b) No Certificateholder, solely by virtue of its status as
Certificateholder, shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event
of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless
also the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Class
Principal Amount or Class Notional Amount (or Percentage Interest) of
Certificates of each Class affected thereby shall have made written request upon
the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable
indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for sixty days after its receipt
of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused
to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent
with such
101
written request has been given such Trustee during such sixty-day period by such
Certificateholders; it being understood and intended, and being expressly
covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by
availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the
rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to
obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any
right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the
benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Section 8.02 Access to List of Holders.
(a) If the Trustee is not acting as Certificate Registrar, the Certificate
Registrar will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within fifteen
days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request by the Trustee in
writing, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the
names and addresses of the Certificateholders of each Class as of the most
recent Record Date.
(b) If three or more Holders or Certificate Owners (hereinafter referred
to as "Applicants") apply in writing to the Certificate Registrar, and such
application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders
with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and
is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to
transmit, then the Certificate Registrar shall, within five Business Days after
the receipt of such application, afford such Applicants reasonable access during
the normal business hours of the Certificate Registrar to the most recent list
of Certificateholders held by the Certificate Registrar or shall, as an
alternative, send, at the Applicants' expense, the written communication
proffered by the Applicants to all Certificateholders at their addresses as they
appear in the Certificate Register.
(c) Every Holder or Certificate Owner, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency,
by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees with the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Certificate Registrar and the
Trustee that none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names
and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from
which such information was derived.
Section 8.03 Acts of Holders of Certificates.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders or
Certificate Owners, if the Holder is a Clearing Agency, may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as
herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when
such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator and, where expressly required herein, to the Master Servicer. Such
instrument or
102
instruments (as the action embodies therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as an "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement
and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the
Master Servicer, if made in the manner provided in this Section. Each of the
Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall promptly
notify the others of receipt of any such instrument by it, and shall promptly
forward a copy of such instrument to the others.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized
by law to take acknowledgments or deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Whenever
such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership on
behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall
also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the individual
executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee
deems sufficient.
(c) The ownership of Certificates (whether or not such Certificates shall
be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing
thereon made by anyone other than the Trustee) shall be proved by the
Certificate Register, and none of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the
Master Servicer or the Depositor shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action by the Holder of any Certificate shall bind every future Holder
of the same Certificate and the Holder of every Certificate issued upon the
registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in
respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the
Master Servicer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is
made upon such Certificate.
ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF MORTGAGE LOANS
BY THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 9.01 Duties of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of Servicers' and
Master Servicer's Obligations.
(a) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Certificateholders shall monitor the performance of the Servicers under the
Purchase and Servicing Agreements, and shall use its reasonable good faith
efforts to cause the Servicers duly and punctually to perform all of their
respective duties and obligations thereunder. Upon the occurrence of a default
of which a Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge under
a Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify
the Trustee thereof, and shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the
Master Servicer is
103
taking in respect of such default. So long as any such default shall be
continuing, the Master Servicer may, and shall if it determines such action to
be in the best interests of Certificateholders, (i) terminate all of the rights
and powers of such Servicer pursuant to the applicable provisions of the related
Purchase and Servicing Agreement; (ii) exercise any rights it may have to
enforce the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement against such Servicer;
and/or (iii) waive any such default under the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement or take any other action with respect to such default as is permitted
thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with
respect to any Additional Collateral Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will
have no duty or obligation to supervise, monitor or oversee the activities of
the related Servicer under any Purchase and Servicing Agreement with respect to
any Additional Collateral or under any agreement relating to the pledge of, or
the perfection of a pledge or security interest in, any Additional Collateral
except upon the occurrence of the following events (i) in the case of a final
liquidation of any Mortgaged Property secured by Additional Collateral, the
Master Servicer shall enforce the obligation of the Servicer under the related
Servicing Agreement to liquidate such Additional Collateral as required by such
Servicing Agreement, and (ii) if the Master Servicer assumes the obligations of
such Servicer as successor Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement
pursuant to this Section 9.01, as successor Servicer, it shall be bound to
service and administer the Additional Collateral in accordance with the
provisions of such Servicing Agreement.
(b) Upon any termination by the Master Servicer of a Servicer's rights and
powers pursuant to its Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the rights and powers
of such Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loans shall vest in the
Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be the successor in all respects
to such Servicer in its capacity as Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loans
under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, unless or until the Master
Servicer shall have appointed (and the Trustee shall have acknowledged), with
the consent of the Rating Agencies and in accordance with the applicable
provisions of the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement, a new Xxxxxx Xxx- or
FHLMC-approved Person to serve as successor to the Servicer; provided, however,
that it is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that there will be a
period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing
functions can be fully transferred to a successor servicer (including the Master
Servicer). With such letter from the Rating Agencies, the Master Servicer may
elect to continue to serve as successor servicer under the Purchase and
Servicing Agreement. Upon appointment of a successor servicer, as authorized
under this Section 9.01(b), unless the successor servicer shall have assumed the
obligations of the terminated Servicer under such Purchase and Servicing
Agreement, the Master Servicer and such successor servicer shall enter into a
servicing agreement in a form substantially similar to the affected Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, and the Trustee shall acknowledge such servicing agreement.
In connection with any such appointment, the Master Servicer may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor servicer as it and such
successor servicer shall agree, but in no event shall such compensation of any
successor servicer (including the Master Servicer) be in excess of that payable
to the Servicer under the affected Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement (including the
termination of a Servicer, the appointment of a successor servicer or the
transfer and assumption of the servicing by the Master Servicer) at its own
expense and shall be reimbursed therefor initially (i) by the terminated
Servicer, (ii) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement only
104
to the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of
the related Mortgage Loans, (iii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or
attorney's fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed, or
(iv) to the extent that such amounts described in (i)-(iii) above are
insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer for such costs of enforcement,
from the Trust Fund, as provided in Section 9.04.
If the Master Servicer assumes the servicing with respect to any of the
Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and
warranties of any Servicer it replaces or for the errors or omissions of such
Servicer.
If the Seller is the owner of the servicing rights and the Seller chooses to
terminate that Servicer with or without cause and sell those servicing rights to
a successor servicer, then the Depositor shall (i) cause the Seller to give
reasonable prior written notice to the Master Servicer, and (ii) obtain a letter
from the Rating Agencies indicating that the appointment of the proposed
successor servicer will not result in a downgrade or withdrawal of the rating of
any of the Certificates, and a New Xxxxxx Mae- or FHLMC-approved Person
reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer shall be chosen by the Seller and
appointed as successor servicer with the acknowledgment of the Master Servicer
and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be required to get
a no-downgrade letter from the Rating Agencies if: (i) the Rating Agencies
received prior written notice of the transfer of the servicing rights and the
name of the successor Servicer, (ii) such successor Servicer has a servicing
rating in the highest category of Fitch or Xxxxx'x to the extent that Fitch or
Xxxxx'x, respectively, is a Rating Agency, and such successor Servicer has a
servicer evaluation ranking in one of the two highest categories of S&P to the
extent that S&P is a Rating Agency, and (iii) such successor Servicer shall
service the related Mortgage Loans under either the Purchase and Servicing
Agreement together with the related Assignment Agreement under which such
Mortgage Loans are currently being serviced or under another Servicing Agreement
together with a related Assignment Agreement that have already been reviewed and
approved by the Rating Agencies. The Depositor shall cause the costs of such
transfer including any costs of such transfer (including any costs of the Master
Servicer) to be borne by the Seller.
At least 15 calendar days prior to the effective date of such termination,
(x) the Depositor shall provide written notice to the Master Servicer and all
information reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its
reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a replacement
servicer.
(c) Upon any termination of a Servicer's rights and powers pursuant to its
Purchase and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the
Trustee and the Rating Agencies, specifying in such notice that the Master
Servicer or any successor servicer, as the case may be, has succeeded such
Servicer under the related Purchase and Servicing Agreement or under any other
servicing agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer and the
Rating Agencies, which notice shall also specify the name and address of any
such successor servicer.
(d) The Depositor shall not consent to the assignment by any Servicer of
such Servicer's rights and obligations under the related Purchase and Servicing
Agreement without
105
the prior written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
(e) The Trustee shall execute and deliver, at the written request of the
Master Servicer or any Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer and any
Servicer, at the expense of the requesting party, a power of attorney in the
standard form provided by the Trustee to take title to the Mortgaged Properties
after foreclosure in the name of and on behalf of the Trustee in its capacity as
Trustee hereunder and for the purposes described herein to the extent necessary
or desirable to enable the Master Servicer or any Servicer to perform its
respective duties. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of the Master
Servicer or any Servicer under such powers of attorney.
Section 9.02 Assumption of Master Servicing by Trustee.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no longer be the
Master Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default by the Master
Servicer under this Agreement), the Trustee shall thereupon assume all of the
rights and obligations of such Master Servicer hereunder and under each Purchase
and Servicing Agreement entered into with respect to the Mortgage Loans or shall
appoint or petition a court to appoint a Xxxxxx-Xxx or FHLMC-approved servicer
as successor servicer that is acceptable to the Depositor and the Rating
Agencies. The Trustee, as successor master servicer, its designee or any
successor master servicer appointed by the Trustee shall be deemed to have
assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest herein and therein to the same
extent as if such Purchase and Servicing Agreements had been assigned to the
assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of
any liability or obligations of the Master Servicer under such Purchase and
Servicing Agreement accruing prior to its replacement as Master Servicer, and
shall be liable to the Trustee, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Trustee (in its individual corporate capacity and as Trustee hereunder) from
and against all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by the Trustee as a result of such liability or
obligations of the Master Servicer and in connection with the Trustee's
assumption (but not its performance, except to the extent that costs or
liability of the Trustee are created or increased as a result of negligent or
wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its replacement as
Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer's obligations, duties or
responsibilities thereunder. To the extent that the costs and expenses of the
Trustee described in this Section are not timely reimbursed by the Master
Servicer, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Distribution
Account and the Master Servicer is hereby obligated to reimburse the Trust
promptly for such amounts by deposit thereof in the Distribution Account.
(b) The Master Servicer that has been terminated shall, upon request of
the Trustee but at the expense of such Master Servicer, deliver to the assuming
party all documents and records relating to each Purchase and Servicing
Agreement, this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loans and an accounting of
amounts collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect
the orderly and efficient transfer of each Purchase and Servicing Agreement and
this Agreement to the assuming party.
Section 9.03 Representations and Warranties of the Master Servicer.

Securities Administrator and the Trustee, for the benefit of the

with its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, the execution,
delivery and performance of which have been duly authorized by all

result in the breach of, any material contract, agreement or other
instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party or by which it is bound
or to which any of its assets are subject, which violation, default or
breach would materially and adversely affect the Master Servicer's ability
to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(iii) this Agreement constitutes, assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery hereof by the other respective parties hereto, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable
against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general, and
by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);
(iv) the Master Servicer is not in default with respect to any order
or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal, state,
municipal or governmental agency to the extent that any such default would
materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder;
(v) the Master Servicer is not a party to or bound by any agreement

Servicer's knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer which would
prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations

orders (if any) as have been obtained; and
(ix) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Master Servicer.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set

other costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion
based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a material breach of the Master
Servicer's representations and warranties contained in this Section 9.03. It is
understood and agreed that the enforcement of the obligation of the Master
Servicer set forth in this Section to indemnify the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee as provided in this Section constitutes the sole
remedy (other than as set forth in Section 6.14) of the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee, respecting a breach of the foregoing

Any cause of action against the Master Servicer relating to or arising out
of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this Section shall

Servicer or the Trustee or notice thereof by any one of such parties to the
other parties.

Certificateholders of the related Residual Certificate against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses ("Losses") resulting from such
negligence; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be
liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Holder of the Residual Certificate, nor for any
such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by any of the foregoing
parties on which the Securities Administrator has relied. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, in no event shall the Securities Administrator have any

extent provided in the applicable Purchase and Servicing Agreement, knowingly
permit any Servicer to, rent, lease, or otherwise earn income on behalf of any
REMIC with respect to any REO Property which might cause an Adverse REMIC Event
unless the applicable Servicer has provided to the Trustee and the Securities

such action would not adversely affect the status of any REMIC as a REMIC and
any income generated for any REMIC by the REO Property would not result in an
Adverse REMIC Event.
(b) The Depositor shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent
provided in its Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to make reasonable efforts to
sell any REO Property for its fair market value. In any event, however, the
Depositor shall, or shall cause the applicable Servicer (to the extent provided
in its Purchase and Servicing Agreement) to, dispose of any REO Property within
three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund unless the Depositor or the
applicable Servicer (on behalf of the Trust Fund) has received a grant of
extension from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that, under the REMIC
Provisions and any relevant proposed legislation and under applicable state law,
the REMIC may hold REO Property for a longer period without causing an Adverse
REMIC Event. If such an extension has been received, then the Depositor, acting
on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall, or shall cause the applicable
Servicer to, continue to attempt to sell the REO Property for its fair market
value for such period longer than three years as such extension permits (the
"Extended Period"). If such an extension has not been received and the Depositor
or the applicable Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trust Fund hereunder, is
unable to sell the REO Property within 33 months after its acquisition by the
Trust Fund or if such an extension, has been received and the Depositor or the
116
applicable Servicer is unable to sell the REO Property within the period ending
three months before the close of the Extended Period, the Depositor shall cause
the applicable Servicer, before the end of the three year period or the Extended
Period, as applicable, to (i) purchase such REO Property at a price equal to the
REO Property's fair market value or (ii) auction the REO Property to the highest
bidder (which may be the applicable Servicer) in an auction reasonably designed
to produce a fair price prior to the expiration of the three-year period or the
Extended Period, as the case may be.

performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder. The errors and
omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such form and
amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers and
trustees.

hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form

(a) The Master Servicer shall cause any Servicer used by the Master
Servicer (or by any Servicer) for the benefit of the Depositor to comply with
the provisions of Section 9.11 and this Article XII to the same extent as if
such Servicer were the Master Servicer (except with respect to the Master

to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K.
(b) It shall not be necessary for the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the
Trustee to seek the consent of the Depositor or any other party hereto to the
utilization of any Subcontractor. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as
applicable, shall promptly upon request provide to the Depositor (or any
designee of the Depositor, such as the Master Servicer or administrator) a
written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) of the
role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Person (or in the case
of the Master Servicer or any Servicer), specifying (i) the identity of each
such Subcontractor, (ii) which (if any) of such Subcontractors are
"participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, and (iii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be
addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified
pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph.
As a condition to the utilization of any Subcontractor determined to be a
Reporting Subcontractor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,
shall cause any such Subcontractor used by such Person (or in the case of the
Master Servicer or any Servicer) for the benefit of the Depositor to comply with
the provisions of Sections 12.07 and 12.09 of this Agreement to the same extent
as if such Subcontractor were the Master Servicer (except with respect to the
Master Servicer's duties with respect to preparing and filing any Exchange Act
Reports or as the Certifying Person) or the Trustee, as applicable. The Master
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be responsible for obtaining from
each Subcontractor and delivering to the Depositor and the Master Servicer, any
assessment of compliance and attestation required to be delivered by such
Subcontractor under Section 12.07, in each case as and when required to be
delivered.
Section 12.08 Indemnification by the Master Servicer and the Securities
Administrator.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator (each, an
"Indemnifying Party"), shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Depositor
and the Seller for the preparation, execution or filing of any report required
to be filed with the Commission with respect to the Trust Fund, or for execution
of a certification pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the
Exchange Act with respect to the Trust Fund; and the respective present and
former directors, officers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing and
shall hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain
arising out of or based upon:
(i) (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged
to be contained in any information, report, certification, accountants'
letter or other material provided in written or electronic form under this
Article XII by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party, or provided under
this Article XII by or on behalf of any Subservicer or Subcontractor
directly engaged by the Indemnifying Party (collectively, the "Company
129
Information"), or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the
Company Information a material fact required to be stated in the Company
Information or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided, by way of clarification, that clause (B) of this paragraph shall
be construed solely by reference to the Company Information and not to any
other information communicated in connection with a sale or purchase of
securities, without regard to whether the Company Information or any
portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other
information; or
(ii) any failure by the Indemnifying Party to perform its
obligations when and as required under this Article XII; or
(iii) any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the
Indemnifying Party.
In the case of any failure of performance described in clause (a)(ii) of
this Section, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Seller or the
Depositor, as applicable, and each Person responsible for the preparation,
execution or filing of any report required to be filed with the Commission with
respect to such Securitization Transaction, or for execution of a certification
pursuant to Rule 13a-14(d) or Rule 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act with respect
to the Trust, for all costs reasonably incurred by each such party in order to
obtain the information, report, certification, accountants' letter or other
material not delivered as required by the Indemnifying Party or any Subservicer
or Subcontractor of the Indemnifying Party.
(b) (i) Any failure by the Indemnifying Party or any Subservicer or
Subcontractor of the Indemnifying Party to deliver any information, report,
certification, accountants' letter or other material when and as required under
this Article XII.
(ii) Any failure by the Indemnifying Party or any Subservicer or any
Subcontractor of the Indemnifying Party to deliver any information,
report, certification or accountants' letter when and as required under
this Article XII, including (except as provided below) any failure by the
Indemnifying Party to identify pursuant to Section 12.07 any Subcontractor
"participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122
of Regulation AB, which continues unremedied for ten calendar days after
the date on which such information, report, certification or accountants'
letter was required to be delivered shall constitute an Event of Default
with respect to the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, and shall
entitle the Seller or Depositor, as applicable, in its sole discretion to
terminate the rights and obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this
Agreement without payment (notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary) of any compensation to the Indemnifying Party; provided that
to the extent that any provision of this Agreement and/or any applicable
Reconstitution Agreement expressly provides for the survival of certain
rights or obligations following termination of the Master Servicer as
servicer, such provision shall be given effect.
Neither the Seller nor any Depositor shall be entitled to terminate
the rights and obligations of an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this
subparagraph (b)(ii) if a failure of the Master Servicer to identify a
Subcontractor "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning
of Item 1122 of Regulation AB was attributable solely to the role or
130
functions of such Subcontractor with respect to mortgage loans other than
the Mortgage Loans.
(iii) The Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Seller and
any Depositor for all reasonable expenses incurred by them, in connection
with the termination of the Indemnifying Party and the transfer of their
duties to a successor. The provisions of this paragraph shall not limit
whatever rights the Seller or the Depositor may have under other
provisions of this Agreement or otherwise, whether in equity or at law,
such as an action for damages, specific performance or injunctive relief.
