This POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of August 1, 2005, among XXXXXXX XXXXX MORTGAGE INVESTORS, INC., a Delaware corporation, as depositor (the “Depositor”), WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and XXXXX FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as securities administrator (in such capacity, the “Securities Administrator”).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Depositor intends to sell mortgage pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Mortgage Loans (as defined herein). As provided herein, the Trustee will make, in accordance with Section 8.12, an election to treat the entire segregated pool of assets described in the definition of REMIC 1 (as defined herein) (excluding the Cap Contract and the Cap Contract Account), and subject to this Agreement, as a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”) for federal income tax purposes and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as “REMIC 1.” The REMIC 1 Regular Interests will be the “regular interests” in REMIC 1 and the Class R-1 Interest will be the sole class of “residual interests” in REMIC 1 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under the federal income tax law. A segregated pool of assets consisting of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests will be designated as “REMIC 2” and the REMIC Administrator will make a separate REMIC election with respect thereto. The Class I-A-1, Class I-A-2, Class II-A-1, Class II-A-2, Class II-A-3, Class II-A-4, Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1, Class B-2, Class B-3, Class C and Class P Certificates will be “regular interests” in REMIC 2, and the Class R-2 Interest will be the sole class of “residual interests” therein for purposes of the REMIC Provisions (as defined herein) under federal income tax law.
The following table irrevocably sets forth the designation, the REMIC 1 Pass-Through Rate, the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance and, for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” for the REMIC 1 Regular Interest. The REMIC 1 Regular Interests will not be certificated.

provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, the Depositor may deliver the following documents, under the circumstances set forth below: (w) the Depositor may deliver a Mortgage Note pursuant to clauses (b)(I)(i) and (b)(II)(i) endorsed in blank, provided that the endorsement is completed within 60 days of the Closing Date; (x) in lieu of the original Mortgage, assignments to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof which have been delivered, are being delivered or will, upon receipt of recording information relating to the Mortgage required to be included thereon, be delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to the Depositor in time to permit their delivery as specified above, the Depositor may deliver a true copy thereof with a certification by the Depositor on the face of such copy, substantially as follows: “Certified to be a true and correct copy of the original, which has been transmitted for recording” and (y) in lieu of the Mortgage, assignment to the Trustee or intervening assignments thereof, if the applicable jurisdiction retains the originals of such documents (as evidenced by a certification from the Depositor or the Master Servicer, to such effect) the Depositor may deliver photocopies of such documents containing an original certification by the judicial or other governmental authority of the jurisdiction where such documents were recorded; and provided, further, however, that in the case of Mortgage Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-off Date and prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor, in lieu of delivering the above documents, may deliver to the Trustee a certification to such effect and shall deposit all amounts paid in respect of such Mortgage Loans in the Distribution Account on the Closing Date.

The Depositor need not cause to be recorded any assignment in any jurisdiction under the laws of which, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, the recordation of such assignment is not necessary to protect the Trustee’s interest in the related Mortgage Loan; provided, however, notwithstanding the delivery of any Opinion of Counsel, each assignment shall be submitted for recording by the Depositor in the manner described above, at no expense to the Trust Fund, the Trustee or the Custodian, upon the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust Fund, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Depositor, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as described in Section 8.02 hereof and (v) with respect to any one assignment, the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage.

If any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section 2.01(b)(I)(i) or 2.01 (b)(II)(i) above cannot be located, the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit.

SECTION 2.02 |
Acceptance of Mortgage Loans by Trustee. |
(a) The Trustee acknowledges the sale, transfer and assignment of the Trust to it by the Depositor and its receipt thereof, subject to further review and the exceptions which may be noted pursuant to the procedures described below, and declares that it, or the Custodian on its behalf, holds the documents (or certified copies thereof) delivered to it pursuant to Section 2.01, and declares that it will continue to hold those documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Fund delivered to it as Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates and the NIMs Insurer, if any. On or before the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan, within five Business Days after the receipt by the Trustee or Custodian thereof), the Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the NIMs Insurer, if any, to review or cause to be reviewed by the Custodian on its behalf (under the Custodial Agreement), each Mortgage File delivered to it and to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Depositor and the NIMs Insurer, if any, on the Closing Date an Initial Certification. In conducting such review, the Trustee or Custodian will certify as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(b)(I)(iii)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, provided that with respect to the documents described in Section 2.01(b)(I)(v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) and 2.01(b)(II)(viii) and (ix) to the extent the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf has actual knowledge that such documents exist, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and are not torn, mutilated, defaced or otherwise altered (except if initialed by the obligor) and appear to relate on their face to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its
examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule corresponding to the loan number for the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor’s name, including the street address but excluding the zip code, the Mortgage Interest Rate and the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File, (iv) with respect to Mortgage Loans with a Mortgage Interest Rate subject to adjustment, the Gross Margin and the lifetime cap and the periodic cap for such Mortgage Loan and (v) the Cap Contract (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit L). In performing any such review, the Trustee, or the Custodian, as its agent, may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf is under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face, or to determine whether any Person executing any documents is authorized to do so or whether any signature is genuine. If the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear to be defective on its face, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Seller and the NIMs Insurer, if any. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such defect within ninety (90) days from the date of notice from the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, of the defect and if the Seller fails to correct or cure the defect within such period, and such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, shall enforce the Seller’s obligation pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, within 90 days from the Trustee’s or the Custodian’s notification, to purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price; provided that, if such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or repurchase must occur within 90 days from the date such breach was discovered; provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy because the originals of such documents, or a certified copy have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the event that the Seller cannot deliver such original or copy of any document submitted for recording to the appropriate recording office in the applicable jurisdiction because such document has not been returned by such office; provided that the Seller shall instead deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such receipt is not available, a certificate confirming that such documents have been accepted for recording, and delivery to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall be effected by the Seller within thirty days of its receipt of the original recorded document.
(b) No later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, will review, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the NIMs Insurer, if any, the Mortgage Files delivered to it and will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Depositor a Final Certification. In conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, will certify as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), that (i) all documents constituting part of such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in Section 2.01(b)(I)(v) and (ix)) required to be delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement are in its possession, provided that with respect to the documents described in Section 2.01(b)(I)(v), (vi), (viii) and (ix) and 2.01(b)(II)(viii) and (ix) to the extent the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf has actual knowledge that such documents exist, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and are not torn, mutilated, defaced or otherwise altered (except if initialed by the obligor) and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan, (iii) based on its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule corresponding to the loan number for the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgagor’s name, including the street address but excluding the zip code, the Mortgage Interest Rate and the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File. In performing any such review, the Trustee, or the Custodian, as its agent, may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee or the Custodian on its behalf is under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face, or to determine whether any Person executing any documents is authorized to do so or whether any signature is genuine. If the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, finds any document constituting part of the Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in Exhibit B or to appear to be defective on its face, the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall promptly notify the Seller and the NIMs Insurer, if any. In accordance with the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall correct or cure any such defect within 90 days from the date of notice from the Trustee of the defect and if the Seller is unable to cure such defect within such period, and if such defect materially and adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders or the NIMs Insurer, if any, in the related Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall enforce the Seller’s obligation under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to purchase such Mortgage Loan at the Purchase Price, provided, however, that if such defect relates solely to the inability of the Seller to deliver the original Security Instrument or intervening assignments thereof, or a certified copy, because the originals of such documents or a certified copy, have not been returned by the applicable jurisdiction, the Seller shall not be required to purchase such Mortgage Loan, if the Seller delivers such original documents or certified copy promptly upon receipt, but in no event later than 360 days after the Closing Date.
(c) In the event that a Mortgage Loan is purchased by the Seller in accordance with Subsections 2.02(a) or (b) above, the Seller shall remit to the Master Servicer the Purchase Price for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Seller shall provide to the Trustee written notification detailing the components of the Purchase Price. Upon deposit of the Purchase Price in the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Depositor shall notify the Trustee and the Custodian and the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent (upon receipt of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto with respect to such Mortgage Loan), shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, furnished to it by the Seller as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Purchase Price in available funds is received by the Trustee. The Trustee shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which was previously delivered to it by Depositor in a form agreed to between the Depositor and the Trustee, to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies and the Master Servicer of such amendment. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase any Mortgage Loan as to which such a defect in a constituent document exists shall be the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Certificateholders or to the Trustee on their behalf.
|
SECTION 2.03 |
Assignment of Interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. |
(a) The Depositor hereby assigns to the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the NIMs Insurer, all of its right, title and interest in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to Depositor’s rights and obligations pursuant to the Servicing Agreements (noting that the Seller has retained the right in the event of breach of the representations, warranties and covenants, if any, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans of the related Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement to enforce the provisions thereof and to seek all or any available remedies). The obligations of the Seller to substitute or repurchase, as applicable, a Mortgage Loan shall be the Trustee’s and the Certificateholders’ sole remedy for any breach thereof. At the request of the Trustee, the Depositor shall take such actions as may be necessary to enforce the above right, title and interest on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or shall execute such further documents as the Trustee may reasonably require in order to enable the Trustee to carry out such enforcement. With respect to the representations and warranties described in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement which are made to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, if it is discovered by any of the Depositor, the Seller or the Trustee that the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, then notwithstanding the Seller’s lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation and warranty, such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation and warranty.
(b) If the Depositor, the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator, the NIMs Insurer or the Trustee discovers a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, which breach
materially and adversely affects the value of the interests of Certificateholders, the NIMs Insurer or the Trustee in the related Mortgage Loan, the party discovering the breach shall give prompt written notice of the breach to the other parties. The Seller, within 90 days of its discovery or receipt of notice that such breach has occurred (whichever occurs earlier), shall cure the breach in all material respects or, subject to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, shall purchase the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto from the Trustee; provided, however, that if there is a breach of any representation set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and the Mortgage Loan or the related property acquired with respect thereto has been sold, then the Seller shall pay, in lieu of the Purchase Price, any excess of the Purchase Price over the Net Liquidation Proceeds received upon such sale. (If the Net Liquidation Proceeds exceed the Purchase Price, any excess shall be paid to the Seller to the extent not required by law to be paid to the borrower.) Any such purchase by the Seller shall be made by providing an amount equal to the Purchase Price to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account and written notification detailing the components of such Purchase Price. The Depositor shall notify the Trustee and submit to the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, a Request for Release, and the Trustee shall release, or the Trustee shall cause the Custodian to release, to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Trustee shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment furnished to it by the Seller, without recourse, as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under the Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto. Such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the date on which the Purchase Price in available funds is received by the Trustee. The Trustee or the Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such repurchase and shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Rating Agencies of such amendment. Enforcement of the obligation of the Seller to purchase (or substitute a Substitute Mortgage Loan for) any Mortgage Loan or any property acquired with respect thereto (or pay the Purchase Price as set forth in the above proviso) as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders, the NIMs Insurer or the Trustee on their behalf.
SECTION 2.04 Substitution of Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of purchasing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Sections 2.02 or 2.03 of this Agreement, the Seller may, no later than the date by which such purchase by the Seller would otherwise be required, tender to the Trustee a Substitute Mortgage Loan accompanied by a certificate of an authorized officer of the Seller that such Substitute Mortgage Loan conforms to the requirements set forth in the definition of “Substitute Mortgage Loan” in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, in lieu of purchase shall not be permitted after the termination of the two-year period beginning on the Startup Day; provided, further, that if the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, any such cure or substitution must occur within 90 days from the date the breach was discovered. The Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall examine the Mortgage File for any Substitute Mortgage Loan in the manner set forth in Section 2.02(a) and the Trustee or the Custodian, as its agent, shall notify the Seller, in writing, within five Business Days after receipt, whether or not the documents relating to the Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfy the requirements of the fourth sentence of Subsection 2.02(a). Within two Business Days after such notification, the Seller shall provide to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the amount, if any, by which the Outstanding Principal Balance as of the next preceding Due Date of the Mortgage Loan for which substitution is being made, after giving effect to Scheduled Principal due on such date, exceeds the Outstanding Principal Balance as of such date of the Substitute Mortgage Loan, after giving effect to Scheduled Principal due on such date, which amount shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it were the payment by the Seller of the Purchase Price for the purchase of a Mortgage Loan by the Seller . After such notification to the Seller and, if any such excess exists, upon receipt of such deposit, the Trustee shall accept such Substitute Mortgage Loan which shall thereafter be deemed to be a Mortgage Loan hereunder. In the event of such a substitution, accrued interest on the Substitute Mortgage Loan for the month in which the substitution occurs and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Trust Fund and accrued interest for such month on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made and any Principal Prepayments made thereon during such month shall be the property of the Seller. The Scheduled Principal on a Substitute Mortgage Loan due on the Due Date in the month of substitution shall be the property of the Seller and the Scheduled Principal on the Mortgage Loan for which the substitution is made due on such Due Date shall be the property of the Trust Fund. Upon acceptance of the
Substitute Mortgage Loan (and delivery to the Trustee or Custodian of a Request for Release for such Mortgage Loan), the Trustee shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File related to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, and shall execute and deliver all instruments of transfer or assignment, without recourse, in form as provided to it as are necessary to vest in the Seller title to and rights under any Mortgage Loan released pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable. The Seller shall deliver the documents related to the Substitute Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Subsections 2.01(b) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, with the date of acceptance of the Substitute Mortgage Loan deemed to be the Closing Date for purposes of the time periods set forth in those Subsections. The representations and warranties set forth in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to have been made by the Seller with respect to each Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the date of acceptance of such Mortgage Loan by the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect such substitution and shall provide a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee, the NIMs Insurer, if any, and the Rating Agencies.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right to substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Article II shall be subject to the additional limitations that no substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be made unless the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make the substitution) that, under current law, such substitution will not (A) affect adversely the status of any REMIC established hereunder as a REMIC, or of the related “regular interests” as “regular interests” in any such REMIC, or (B) cause any such REMIC to engage in a “prohibited transaction” or prohibited contribution pursuant to the REMIC provisions.

The Trustee agrees that it will hold the Mortgage Loans and such other assets as may from time to time be delivered to it segregated on the books of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

(i) It is a national banking association duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America and is duly authorized and qualified to transact any and all business contemplated by this Agreement to be conducted by the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator in any state in which a Mortgaged Property is located or is otherwise not required under applicable law to effect such qualification and, in any event, is in compliance with the doing business laws of any such state, to the extent necessary to ensure its ability to enforce each Mortgage Loan, to master service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to perform any of its other obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof;

SECTION 2.08 |
REMIC Elections. |
(a) The Depositor hereby instructs and authorizes the Trustee to make an appropriate election to treat each of the REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 as a REMIC. The Trustee shall sign the returns providing for such elections and such other tax or information returns which are required to be signed by the Trustee under applicable law. This Agreement shall be construed so as to carry out the intention of the parties that each of REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 be treated as a REMIC at all times prior to the date on which the Trust Fund is terminated.
(b) The Preliminary Statement sets forth the designations and “latest possible maturity date” for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby. The “Startup Day” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. Each REMIC’s fiscal year shall be the calendar year.
REMIC 1 shall consist of all of the assets of the Trust Fund, other than (i) amounts distributable to the Class P Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) hereof, (ii) the interests issued by the REMIC 1 and (iii) the Cap Contract and the Cap Contract Account. The REMIC 1 shall issue the REMIC 1 Regular Interests which shall be designated as regular interests of such REMIC and shall issue the Class R-1 Interest that shall be designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 1. The REMIC 1 Regular Interest shall have the characteristics set forth in its definition.
The assets of REMIC 2 shall be the REMIC 1 Regular Interests. The Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) shall be designated as the regular interests in REMIC 2 and the Class R-2 Interest shall be designated as the sole class of residual interest in REMIC 2. For federal income tax purposes, the pass-through rate on each Certificate (other than Class P Certificates and Class C Certificates) and on the Class R-2 Interest shall be subject to a cap equal to the Net Rate.
The beneficial ownership of the Class R-1 Interest and the Class R-2 Interest shall be represented by the Class R Certificate. The Class R-1 Interest shall not have a principal balance or bear interest.
(c) The “tax matters person” with respect to each REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the beneficial owner of the Class R Certificate; provided, however, that the Holder of the Class R Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, irrevocably appoints the Trustee as its agent and attorney-in-fact to act as “tax matters person” with respect to each REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. If there is more than one beneficial owner of the Class R Certificate, the “tax matters person” shall be the Person with the greatest percentage interest in the Class R Certificate and, if there is more than one such Person, shall be determined under Treasury regulation Section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulation Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1.
(d) It is intended that the rights of each Class of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates and the Class R-2 Interest to receive payments in respect of Excess Interest shall be treated as a right in interest rate cap contracts written by the Class C Certificateholders in favor of the holders of each Class of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates and the Class R-2 Interest and such shall be accounted for as property held separate and apart from the regular
interests in REMIC 2 held by the holders of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates and the residual interest in REMIC 2 held by the holder of the Class R Certificate. For information reporting requirements, the rights of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates to receive payments in respect of Excess Interest shall be assumed to have zero or a de minimis value. This provision is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(i) for the treatment of property rights coupled with REMIC interests to be separately respected and shall be interpreted consistently with such regulation. On each Distribution Date, to the extent that any of the Class A, Class M and Class B Certificates receive payments in respect of Excess Interest, such amounts, to the extent not derived from payments on the Cap Contracts, will be treated as distributed by REMIC 2 to the Class C Certificates pro rata in payment of the amounts specified in Section 4.07(c)(ix) and then paid to the relevant Class of Certificates pursuant to the related interest rate cap agreement.

Amounts payable as Uncertificated Accrued Interest in respect of REMIC 1 Regular Interest ZZ shall be reduced when the REMIC 1 Overcollateralization Amount is less than the REMIC 1 Required Overcollateralization Amount, by the lesser of (x) the amount of such difference and (y) the REMIC 1 Regular Interest ZZ Maximum Interest Deferral Amount, and such amount will be payable to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest A-1, REMIC 1 Regular Interest A-2, REMIC 1 Regular Interest M-1, REMIC 1 Regular Interest M-2, REMIC 1 Regular Interest B-1, REMIC 1 Regular Interest B-2, REMIC 1 Regular Interest B-3 and REMIC 1 Regular Interest R-2, in the same proportion as the amount that is needed to increase overcollateralization is allocated to the Corresponding Class for each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest, respectively, and the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest ZZ shall be increased by such amount;
(ii) to Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interest I-SUB, REMIC 1 Regular Interest I-GRP, REMIC 1 Regular Interest II-SUB, REMIC 1 Regular Interest II-GRP, and REMIC 1 Regular Interest XX, pro rata, in an amount equal to (A) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest for such Distribution Date, plus (B) any amounts in respect thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates;
(iii) On each Distribution Date, amounts representing Prepayment Charges on the Mortgage Loans shall be deemed distributed to REMIC 1 Regular Interest P, provided that such amounts shall not reduce the Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC 1 Regular Interest P. On the Distribution Date immediately following the expiration of the latest Prepayment Charge term as identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, $100 shall be deemed distributed in respect of REMIC 1 Regular Interest P in reduction of the Uncertificated Principal Balance thereof;
(iv) on each Distribution Date, to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interests in an amount equal to the remainder of the REMIC 1 Marker Allocation Percentage of the funds available in the Distribution Account after the distributions made pursuant to clause (i) above, allocated as follows (except as provided below): (A) 98.00% of such remainder to the Holders of the REMIC 1 Regular Interest AA, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is reduced to zero; (B) 2.00% of such remainder, first, to the Holders of the REMIC 1 Regular Interests X-X-0, X-X-0, XX-X-0, XX-X-0, XX-X-0, XX-X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0 and R-2 in an aggregate amount equal to 1.00% of and in the same proportion as principal payments are allocated to the Corresponding Class for each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest, respectively, until the Uncertificated Principal
Balance of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is reduced to zero; and, second, to the Holders of the REMIC 1 Regular Interest ZZ, until the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is reduced to zero; and (C) any remaining amounts to the Holders of the Class R-1 Interest; and
(v) to the Holders of REMIC 1 Regular Interests, in an amount equal to the remainder of the REMIC 1 Sub WAC Allocation Percentage of available funds for such Distribution Date after the distributions made pursuant to clause (ii) above, such that distributions of principal shall be deemed to be made to the REMIC 1 Regular Interests first, so as to keep the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “GRP” equal to 0.01% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group; second, to each REMIC 1 Regular Interest ending with the designation “SUB,” so that the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC 1 Regular Interest is equal to 0.01% of the excess of (x) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group over (y) the current Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A Certificate in the related Loan Group (except that if any such excess is a larger number than in the preceding distribution period, the least amount of principal shall be distributed to such REMIC 1 Regular Interests such that the REMIC 1 Subordinated Balance Ratio is maintained); and third, any remaining principal to REMIC 1 Regular Interest XX; then
|
(vi) |
any remaining amount to the Holders of the Class R-1 Interest. |
(h) Notwithstanding the distributions described in this Section 2.08, distribution of funds from the Distribution Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 4.07.
(i) In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by a Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, such Servicer shall indemnify the NIMs Insurer, the Trustee and the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that a Servicer shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Trustee, the Depositor or the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC on which such Servicer has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall a Servicer have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than those arising out of a negligent performance by a Servicer of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).
(j) In the event that any REMIC provided for herein fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs federal, state or local taxes as a result of a prohibited transaction or prohibited contribution under the REMIC Provisions due to the negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, the Trustee shall indemnify the NIMs Insurer and the Trust Fund against any and all Losses resulting from such negligence; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the related Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee or the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC, as applicable, nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC on which the Trustee has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of the Holder of the residual interest in such REMIC now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event shall the Trustee have any liability (1) for any action or omission that is taken in accordance with and in compliance with the express terms of, or which is expressly permitted by the terms of, this Agreement, (2) for any Losses other than those arising out of a negligent performance by the Trustee of its duties and obligations set forth herein, and (3) for any special or consequential damages to Certificateholders (in addition to payment of principal and interest on the Certificates).

OF MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01 Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall supervise, monitor and oversee the obligation of the Servicers to service and administer their respective Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable Servicing Agreement and shall have full power and authority to do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with such master servicing and administration. In performing its obligations hereunder, the Master Servicer shall act in a manner consistent with Accepted Master Servicing Practices. Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall oversee and consult with each Servicer as necessary from time-to-time to carry out the Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder, shall receive, review and evaluate all reports, information and other data provided to the Master Servicer by each Servicer and shall cause each Servicer to perform and observe the covenants, obligations and conditions to be performed or observed by such Servicer under the applicable Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall independently and separately monitor each Servicer’s servicing activities with respect to each related Mortgage Loan, reconcile the results of such monitoring with such information provided in the previous sentence on a monthly basis and coordinate corrective adjustments to the Servicers’ and Master Servicer’s records, and based on such reconciled and corrected information, the Master Servicer shall provide such information to the Securities Administrator as shall be necessary in order for it to prepare the statements specified in Section 6.04, and prepare any other information and statements required to be forwarded by the Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Servicer shall reconcile the results of its monitoring with the actual remittances of the Servicers to the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to the applicable Servicing Agreements.
If the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator are the same entity, then at any time the Master Servicer is terminated as Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator shall likewise be removed as securities administrator.
The Trustee shall furnish the Servicers and the Master Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and other documents in form as provided to it necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicers and the Master Servicer to service and administer the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to the use of any such limited power of attorney.
The Trustee or the Custodian shall provide access to the records and documentation in possession of the Trustee or the Custodian regarding the related Mortgage Loans and REO Property and the servicing thereof to the Certificateholders, the FDIC, and the supervisory agents and examiners of the FDIC, such access being afforded only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the office of the Trustee or the Custodian; provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law, the Trustee or the Custodian shall not be required to provide access to such records and documentation if the provision thereof would violate the legal right to privacy of any Mortgagor. The Trustee or the Custodian shall allow representatives of the above entities to photocopy any of the records and documentation and shall provide equipment for that purpose at a charge that covers the Trustee’s or the Custodian’s actual costs.
The Trustee shall execute and deliver to the related Servicer and the Master Servicer upon request any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary or desirable to (i) the foreclosure or trustee’s sale with respect to a Mortgaged Property; (ii) any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument; (iii) obtain a deficiency judgment against the Mortgagor; or (iv) enforce any other rights or remedies provided by the Mortgage Note or Security Instrument or otherwise available at law or equity.
SECTION 3.02 REMIC-Related Covenants. For as long as each REMIC shall exist, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall act in accordance herewith to assure continuing treatment of such REMIC as a REMIC, and
the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with any directions of the Depositor, the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to assure such continuing treatment. In particular, the Trustee shall not (a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans or of any investment of deposits in an Account unless such sale is as a result of a repurchase of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement or the Trustee has received a REMIC Opinion prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund; and (b) other than with respect to a substitution pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or Section 2.04 of this Agreement, as applicable, accept any contribution to any REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion.
SECTION 3.03 Monitoring of Servicer. (a) The Master Servicer shall be responsible for reporting to the Trustee and the Depositor the compliance by each Servicer with its duties under the related Servicing Agreement. In the review of each Servicer’s activities, the Master Servicer may rely upon an officer’s certificate of a Servicer with regard to such Servicer’s compliance with the terms of its Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that a Servicer (other than Xxxxx Fargo) should be terminated in accordance with its Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to such Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof and the Master Servicer shall issue such notice or take such other action as it deems appropriate. In the event that the Master Servicer, in its judgment, determines that Xxxxx Fargo should be terminated in accordance with the Xxxxx Fargo Servicing Agreement, or that a notice should be sent pursuant to the Xxxxx Fargo Servicing Agreement with respect to the occurrence of an event that, unless cured, would constitute grounds for such termination, the Master Servicer shall notify the Depositor and the Trustee thereof in writing. Pursuant to its receipt of such written notification from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall issue such notice of termination to Xxxxx Fargo or take such other action as it deems appropriate.
(b) The Master Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the obligations of each Servicer under the related Servicing Agreement, and shall, in the event that a Servicer other than Xxxxx Fargo fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, terminate the rights and obligations of such Servicer thereunder and act as servicer of the related Mortgage Loans, or if the Master Servicer is unwilling or unable to act as a servicer, the Master Servicer or the NIMs Insurer shall cause the Trustee to enter into a new Servicing Agreement with a successor servicer selected by the Master Servicer that is eligible in accordance with the criteria specified in this Agreement and reasonably acceptable to the NIMs Insurer; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor servicer. In the event that Xxxxx Fargo fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the Xxxxx Fargo Servicing Agreement, subject to the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing of such failure. Pursuant to its receipt of such notification from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall terminate the rights and obligations of Xxxxx Fargo under the Xxxxx Fargo Servicing Agreement and enter in to a new Servicing Agreement with a successor Servicer selected by the Trustee; provided, however, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties hereto that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the actual servicing functions can be fully transferred to such successor Servicer. In either event, such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of the Servicing Agreements and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer (or in the case Xxxxx Fargo is terminated as the Servicer, the Trustee), in its good faith business judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense subject to Section 3.03(c), provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Master Servicer shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action. In the event that Xxxxx Fargo is terminated as the Servicer, the Trustee shall pay the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, subject to its right to be reimbursed for such costs from the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03(c); provided that the Trustee shall not be required to prosecute or defend any legal action except to the extent that the Trustee shall have received reasonable indemnity for its costs and expenses in pursuing such action. Nothing herein shall impose any obligation on the part of the Trustee to assume or succeed to the duties or obligations of Xxxxx Fargo or the Master Servicer.
(c) In the event that Xxxxx Fargo is terminated as Servicer, to the extent that the costs and expenses of the Trustee related to any termination of Xxxxx Fargo, or the enforcement or prosecution of related claims, rights or remedies, or the appointment of a successor Servicer (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of the Xxxxx Fargo as a result of an event of default by Xxxxx Fargo and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor Servicer to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by Xxxxx Fargo after such termination, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Master Servicer Collection Account (which the Master Servicer hereby agrees to pay to the Trustee from the Master Servicer Collection Account upon demand) or, to the extent not paid from such account, the Trustee shall be entitled to reimburse itself for such costs and expenses from the Distribution Account. In all other cases, to the extent that the costs and expenses of the Master Servicer related to any termination of a Servicer (other than Xxxxx Fargo), appointment of a successor Servicer or the transfer and assumption of servicing by the Master Servicer with respect to any Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, (i) all legal costs and expenses and all due diligence costs and expenses associated with an evaluation of the potential termination of a Servicer as a result of an event of default by such Servicer and (ii) all costs and expenses associated with the complete transfer of servicing, including all servicing files and all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the successor servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the successor service to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the related Servicing Agreement) are not fully and timely reimbursed by the terminated Servicer, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of such costs and expenses from the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.03(b).
(d) The Master Servicer shall require each Servicer to comply with the remittance requirements and other obligations set forth in the related Servicing Agreement.
(e) If the Master Servicer acts as a Servicer, it will not assume liability for the representations and warranties of such Servicer (other than Xxxxx Fargo), if any, that it replaces.
SECTION 3.04 Fidelity Bond. The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording coverage with respect to all directors, officers, employees and other Persons acting on such Master Servicer’s behalf, and covering errors and omissions in the 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 or trustees.
SECTION 3.05 Power to Act; Procedures. The Master Servicer shall master service the Mortgage Loans and shall have full power and authority, subject to the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of Article X hereof, to do any and all things that it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to the power and authority (i) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, customary consents or waivers and other instruments and documents, (ii) to consent to transfers of any Mortgaged Property and assumptions of the Mortgage Notes and related Mortgages, (iii) to collect any Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds, and (iv) to effectuate foreclosure or other conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not (and, consistent with its responsibilities under Section 3.03, shall not permit any Servicer to) knowingly or intentionally take any action, or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would cause the REMIC Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code) unless the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel (but not at the expense of the Master Servicer) to the effect that the contemplated action will not would cause the REMIC Trust to fail to
qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC Trust. The Trustee shall furnish the Master Servicer, upon written request from a Servicing Officer, with any limited powers of attorney empowering the Master Servicer or any Servicer to execute and deliver instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and to foreclose upon or otherwise liquidate Mortgaged Property, and to appeal, prosecute or defend in any court action relating to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and the Trustee shall execute and deliver such other documents, as the Master Servicer may request, to enable the Master Servicer to master service and administer the Mortgage Loans and carry out its duties hereunder, in each case in accordance with Accepted Master Servicing Practices (and the Trustee shall have no liability for misuse of any such powers of attorney by the Master Servicer or any Servicer). If the Master Servicer or the Trustee has been advised that it is likely that the laws of the state in which action is to be taken prohibit such action if taken in the name of the Trustee or that the Trustee would be adversely affected under the “doing business” or tax laws of such state if such action is taken in its name, the Master Servicer shall join with the Trustee in the appointment of a co-trustee pursuant to Section 9.11 hereof. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be an independent contractor and shall not, except in those instances where it is taking action in the name of the Trustee, be deemed to be the agent of the Trustee.
SECTION 3.06 Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. To the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement, and to the extent Mortgage Loans contain enforceable due-on-sale clauses, the Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to enforce such clauses in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement. If applicable law prohibits the enforcement of a due-on-sale clause or such clause is otherwise not enforced in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, and, as a consequence, a Mortgage Loan is assumed, the original Mortgagor may be released from liability in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement.
SECTION 3.07 Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon becoming aware of the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by any Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes for payment to Certificateholders on the next Distribution Date, the Servicers or the Master Servicer will, if required under the applicable Servicing Agreement, promptly furnish to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, two copies of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto signed by a Servicing Officer or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment that are required to be deposited in the Protected Account maintained by the applicable Servicer pursuant to its Servicing Agreement have been or will be so deposited) and shall request that the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to the applicable Servicer the related Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall no later than five Business Days (or to the extent that the applicable Servicer notifies the Seller that a document is not in the Servicer’s possession as part of the Servicing File which is needed for purposes of the Servicer complying with any applicable law, within such shorter period as may be necessary to enable the Servicer to comply with such law), release the related Mortgage File to the applicable Servicer and the Trustee and Custodian shall have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. Upon any such payment in full, each Servicer is authorized, to give, as agent for the Trustee, as the mortgagee under the Mortgage that secured the Mortgage Loan, an instrument of satisfaction (or assignment of mortgage without recourse) regarding the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Person or Persons entitled thereto against receipt therefor of such payment, it being understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in connection with such instrument of satisfaction or assignment, as the case may be, shall be chargeable to the Protected Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and in accordance with the applicable Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall execute such documents as requested and as shall be prepared and furnished to the Trustee by a Servicer or the Master Servicer (in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) and as are necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. In connection with the foregoing, the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon the request of a Servicer or the Master Servicer, and delivery to the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, of two copies of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit D (or in a mutually agreeable electronic format which will, in lieu of a signature on its face, originate from a
Servicing Officer), release the related Mortgage File held in its possession or control to the related Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable. Such trust receipt shall obligate the related Servicer or the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Mortgage Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer similar to that hereinabove specified, the Mortgage File shall be released by the Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the related Servicer or the Master Servicer.

In fulfilling such a request the Master Servicer shall not be responsible for determining the sufficiency of such information.
(b) All Mortgage Files and funds collected or held by, or under the control of, the Master Servicer, in respect of any Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments or from Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, shall be held by the Master Servicer for and on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders and shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to setoff against, and deduct from, any such funds any amounts that are properly due and payable to the Master Servicer or such Servicer under this Agreement or the applicable Servicing Agreement.

Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance if the Mortgagor defaults in its obligation to do so shall be added to the amount owing
under the Mortgage Loan where the terms of the Mortgage Loan so permit; provided, however, that the addition of any such cost shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the distributions to be made to Certificateholders and shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer or such Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03.
SECTION 3.10 Presentment of Claims and Collection of Proceeds. The Master Servicer shall (to the extent provided in the applicable Servicing Agreement) cause the related Servicer to, prepare and present on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders all claims under the Insurance Policies and take such actions (including the negotiation, settlement, compromise or enforcement of the insured’s claim) as shall be necessary to realize recovery under such policies.

The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause each Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to keep in force and effect (to the extent that the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance), primary mortgage insurance applicable to each Mortgage Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall not, and shall not permit any Servicer (to the extent required under the related Servicing Agreement) to, cancel or refuse to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy that is in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Mortgage Note and is required to be kept in force hereunder except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the related Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

Prior to March 30, 2006 (and each year thereafter unless a Form 15D Suspension Notification has been filed pursuant to Section 3.18(d) below), the Master Servicer shall prepare and file a Form 10-K, in substance conforming to industry standards, with respect to the Trust Fund.

The Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Master Servicer, from time to time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements within its control related to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loans as the Master Servicer reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary reports with the Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Master Servicer
shall have no responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section 3.18; provided, however, the Master Servicer will cooperate with the Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act. Copies of all reports filed by the Master Servicer under the Exchange Act shall be sent to: the Depositor c/o Merrill Xxxxx & Co. Inc. Attn: Managing Director-Analysis and Control.

(c) If, after the Closing Date (a) the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 is amended, (b) Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act and any related directives of the Commission are modified or superseded by any subsequent statement, rule, directive or regulation of the Commission or any division thereof, or (c) any future releases, rules and regulations are published by the Commission from time to time pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, which in any such case affect the form or substance of the required certification under Rule 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the Exchange Act such that, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer, the required certification is materially more onerous than the form of the requirement attached hereto as Exhibit K as of the Closing Date, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall negotiate in good faith to determine how to amend the certification attached hereto as Exhibit K or any of the provisions in this Section 3.18 to comply with any such new requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.18 may be amended by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee without the consent of the Certificateholders.

(h) The Trustee is hereby directed by the Depositor to execute the Cap Contract on behalf of the Trust Fund in the form presented to it by the Depositor and shall have no responsibility for the contents, adequacy or sufficiency of the Cap Contract, including, without limitation, the representations and warranties contained therein. Any funds payable by the Trustee under the Cap Contract at closing shall be paid by the Depositor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Cap Contract, the Trustee shall not be required to make any payments to the counterparty under the Cap Contract. Any payments received under the terms of the Cap Contract will be available to pay the holders of the Offered Certificates up to the amount of any Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers remaining after all other distributions required under this Section 4.07 are made on such Distribution Date, other than Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers attributable to the fact that Applied Realized Loss Amounts are not allocated to the Class A Certificates. Any amounts received under the terms of the Cap Contract on a Distribution Date that are not used to pay such Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers will be distributed to the holders of the Class C Certificates. Payments in respect of such Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers from proceeds of a Cap Contract shall be paid as follows:
(i) first, to the Classes of Offered Certificates, pro rata based upon such Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers for each such class of Offered Certificates; and
|
(ii) |
second, any remaining proceeds shall be distributed to the holders of the Class C Certificates. |
On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish a Cap Contract Account on behalf of the Holders of the Certificates. The Cap Contract Account must be an Eligible Account. On or prior to the Cap Contract Termination Date, amounts, if any, received by the Trustee for the benefit of the Trust Fund in respect of the Cap Contract shall be deposited by the Trustee into the Cap Contract Account and will be used to pay Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers on the Offered Certificates to the extent provided in the immediately preceding paragraph. With respect to any Distribution Date on or prior to the Cap Contract Termination Date, the amount, if any, payable by the Cap Contract Counterparty under the Cap Contract will equal (a) the product of: (1) a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of one-month LIBOR (as defined in the Cap Contract and up to a maximum rate equal to 9.260%) over the rate for such payment date as set forth in the Cap Contract; (2) the lesser of (a) the notional amount for such Accrual Period as set forth below and (b) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Offered Certificates and the Class B-3 Certificates as of the first day of the related Accrual Period; and (3) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related Accrual Period and the denominator of which is 360. If a payment is made to the Trust Fund under a Cap Contract and the Trustee is required to distribute excess amounts to the holders of the Class C Certificates as described above, the Trustee shall send a notice on the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, stating the amount received on the related Cap Contract, the amounts paid with respect to Floating Rate Certificate Carryovers and the amount due to the holders of the Class C Certificates. Such notice shall be sent by the Trustee via facsimile to the holders of the Class C Certificates.
Amounts on deposit in the Cap Contract Account will remain uninvested pending distribution to Certificateholders.
The Cap Contract is scheduled to remain in effect until the Cap Contract Termination Date and will be subject to early termination only in limited circumstances. Such circumstances include certain insolvency or bankruptcy events in relation to the Cap Contract Counterparty (after a grace period of three local Business Days, as defined in the Cap Contract, after notice of such failure is received by the Cap Contract Counterparty) to make a payment due under the Cap Contract, the failure by the Cap Contract Counterparty or the Trustee (after a cure period of 20 days after notice of such failure is received) to perform any other agreement made by it under the Cap Contract, the termination of the Trust Fund and the Cap Contract becoming illegal or subject to certain kinds of taxation.
The Securities Administrator shall notify the Cap Contract Counterparty at least five (5) Business Days prior to the related Floating Rate Payer Payment Date (as defined in the Cap Contract) of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Offered Certificates as of the first day of such Calculation Period (as defined in the Cap Contract) and shall send such notification to the Cap Contract Counterparty at the email addresses as specified in the Cap Contract; provided, however, that if the Securities Administrator does not provide such email notification, the Cap Contract Counterparty is permitted to rely upon the statement of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Offered Certificates made available on the Securities Administrator’s website.
SECTION 4.08 Payments. (a) On each Distribution Date, other than the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute to each Certificateholder of record on the directly preceding Record Date the Certificateholder’s pro rata share of its Class (based on the aggregate Percentage Interest represented by such Holder’s Certificates) of all amounts required to be distributed on such Distribution Date to such Class, based solely on information provided to the Trustee by the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator shall calculate the amount to be distributed to each Class and, based on such amounts, the Securities Administrator shall determine the amount to be distributed to each Certificateholder. All of the Securities Administrator’s calculations of payments shall be based solely on information provided to the Securities Administrator by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer. The Securities Administrator shall not be required to confirm, verify or recompute any such information but shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such information.
(b) Payment of the above amounts to each Certificateholder shall be made (i) by check mailed to each Certificateholder entitled thereto at the address appearing in the Certificate Register or (ii) upon receipt by the Trustee on or before the fifth Business Day preceding the Record Date of written instructions from a Certificateholder by wire transfer to a United States dollar account maintained by the payee at any United States depository institution with appropriate facilities for receiving such a wire transfer; provided, however, that the final payment in respect of each Class of Certificates will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such respective Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final payment.
SECTION 4.09 Statements to Certificateholders. (a) Concurrently with each distribution to Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator shall make available to the parties hereto and each Certificateholder via the Securities Administrator’s internet website as set forth below, the following information:

The information set forth above shall be calculated or reported, as the case may be, by the Securities Administrator, based solely on, and to the extent of, information provided to the Securities Administrator by the Master
Servicer. The Securities Administrator may conclusively rely on such information and shall not be required to confirm, verify or recalculate any such information.
The Securities Administrator may make available each month, to any interested party, the Monthly Statement to Certificateholders via the Securities Administrator’s website initially located at “xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx.” Assistance in using the website can be obtained by calling the Securities Administrator’s customer service desk at (000) 000-0000. Parties that are unable to use the above distribution option are entitled to have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the customer service desk and indicating such. The Securities Administrator shall have the right to change the way such reports are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more accessible to the parties, and the Securities Administrator shall provide timely and adequate notification to all parties regarding any such change.
(b) By January 30 of each year beginning in 2006, the Trustee will furnish such report to each Holder of the Certificates of record at any time during the prior calendar year as to the aggregate of amounts reported pursuant to subclauses (a)(ii) and (a)(v) above with respect to the Certificates, plus information with respect to the amount of servicing compensation and such other customary information as the Securities Administrator may determine and advises the Trustee to be necessary and/or to be required by the Internal Revenue Service or by a federal or state law or rules or regulations to enable such Holders to prepare their tax returns for such calendar year. Such obligations shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Securities Administrator or the Trustee pursuant to the requirements of the Code.

(c) |
The Master Servicer shall make available to the NIMs Insurer a copy of the Monthly Statement. |
SECTION 4.10 Monthly Advances. If the Monthly Payment on a Mortgage Loan that was due on a related Due Date and is delinquent other than as a result of application of the Relief Act and for which the related Servicer was required to make an advance pursuant to the related Servicing Agreement exceeds the amount deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account which will be used for a Monthly Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account not later than the Distribution Account Deposit Date immediately preceding the related Distribution Date an amount equal to such deficiency, net of the Servicing Fee for such Mortgage Loan, except to the extent the Master Servicer determines any such Monthly Advance to be nonrecoverable from Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or future payments on the Mortgage Loan for which such Monthly Advance was made. If the Master Servicer has not deposited the amount described above as of the related Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Trustee will deposit in the Master Servicer Collection Account not later than the related Distribution Date, an amount equal to the remaining deficiency as of the Distribution Account Deposit Date. Subject to the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall continue to make such Monthly Advances through the date that the related Servicer is required to do so under its Servicing Agreement. If applicable, on the Distribution Account Deposit Date, the Master Servicer shall present an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee (i) stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make a Monthly Advance in a stated amount and (ii) detailing the reason it deems the advance to be nonrecoverable.

The Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any reimbursement of any Compensating Interest Payment.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES

SECTION 5.01 |
The Certificates. |
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the Trust Fund, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such authentication and delivery. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth as attached hereto executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at the written direction of the Depositor, or any Affiliate thereof.
|
SECTION 5.02 |
Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. |
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.09 hereof, a Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of Transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of Transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and of like aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of Transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any registration of Transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any Transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required. All Certificates surrendered for registration of Transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by a Trustee in accordance with such Trustee’s customary procedures.
(b) No Transfer of a Class C, Class P or Class B-3 Certificate shall be made unless such Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities laws. In the event that a Transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and such Certificateholder’s prospective transferee shall (except with respect to the initial transfer of a Class C, Class P or Class B-3 Certificate by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. or, in connection with a transfer of a Class C, Class P or Class B-3 Certificate to the indenture trustee under an Indenture pursuant to which NIM Notes are issued, whether or not such notes are guaranteed by the NIMs
Insurer) each certify to each Trustee in writing the facts surrounding the Transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit F (the “Transferor Certificate”) and (i) deliver a letter in substantially the form of either Exhibit G (the “Investment Letter”) or Exhibit H (the “Rule 144A Letter”) or (ii) there shall be delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such Transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Depositor or the Trustee. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a Class C, Class P or Class B-3 Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for Transfer of any such Certificate without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. The Trustee shall cooperate with the Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information in the possession of the Trustee regarding the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Class C, Class P or Class B-3 Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor and the Trustee against any liability that may result if the Transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate that is a Class R Certificate may be made to any Person unless the Trustee has received a representation that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any state, local, federal, non-U.S. or other law substantively similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (“Similar Law”) (collectively, a “Plan”), or to any Person directly or indirectly acquiring such Certificate for, on behalf of, or with any assets of any such Plan. Each Person to whom a Class R Certificate is to be transferred shall be required or deemed to represent that it is not a Plan.
No transfer of an ERISA-Restricted Certificate (other than the Class R Certificate) shall be made to any Person unless the Trustee has received (A) a representation that such transferee is not a Plan and is not directly or indirectly acquiring the Certificate for, on behalf of, or with the assets of any such Plan, (B) if the Certificate has been the subject of an ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting, a representation that such transferee is an insurance company that is acquiring the Certificate with assets contained in an “insurance company general account,” as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are covered and exempt under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60, or (C) solely in the case of a Definitive Certificate, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, and upon which the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer shall be entitled to rely, to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate will not constitute or result in a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a violation of Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Servicers, the NIMs Insurer or the Depositor to any obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the NIMs Insurer or the Depositor.
Each beneficial owner of a Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1, Class B-2 or Class B-3 Certificate or any interest therein shall be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or investing with Plan assets, (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on the Exemption, and that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by Fitch, Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc. and in the case of a Class B-3 Certificate, it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D issued under the Securities Act and will obtain a representation from any transferee that such transferee is an accredited investor so long as it is required to obtain a representation regarding compliance with the Securities Act, or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein is an “insurance company general account,” as such term is defined in Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE “) 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
For purposes of the three immediately preceding paragraphs of this Subsection 5.02(b), other than clause (C) in the immediately preceding paragraph, the representations as set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made to the
Trustee by the transferee’s acceptance of an ERISA Restricted Certificate (or the acceptance by a Certificate Owner of the beneficial interest in any Class of ERISA Restricted Certificates). Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, any purported transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate to or on behalf of a Plan without the delivery to the Trustee of a representation or an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee as described above shall be void and of no effect. The Trustee shall not be under any liability to any Person for any registration or transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b), nor shall the Trustee be under 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 Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements. The Trustee shall be entitled, but not obligated, to recover from any Holder of any ERISA Restricted Certificate that was in fact a Plan and that held such Certificate in violation of this Section 5.02(b) all payments made on such ERISA Restricted Certificate at and after the time it commenced such holding. Any such payments so recovered shall be paid and delivered to the last preceding Holder of such Certificate that is not a Plan.
(c) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions, and the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.
(ii) No Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may be purchased, transferred or sold, directly or indirectly, except in accordance with the provisions hereof. No Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or thereafter transferred, and the Trustee shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate unless, in addition to the certificates required to be delivered to the Trustee under subparagraph (b) above, the Trustee shall have been furnished with an affidavit (a “Transfer Affidavit”) of the initial owner or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 and an affidavit of the proposed transferor in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2. In the absence of a contrary instruction from the transferor of a Class R Certificate, declaration (11) in Appendix A of the Transfer Affidavit may be left blank. If the transferor requests by written notice to the Trustee prior to the date of the proposed transfer that one of the two other forms of declaration (11) in Appendix A of the Transfer Affidavit be used, then the requirements of this Section 5.02(c)(ii) shall not have been satisfied unless the Transfer Affidavit includes such other form of declaration.
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or agent in connection with any Transfer of a Class R Certificate and (C) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate or to cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee. Further, no transfer, sale or other disposition of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate may be made to a person who is not a U.S. Person (within the meaning of Section 7701 of the Code) unless such person furnishes the transferor and the Trustee with a duly completed and effective Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto) and the Trustee consents to such transfer, sale or other disposition in writing.
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of Transfer of such Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such
Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related Transfer Affidavit. The Trustee shall be entitled but not obligated to recover from any Holder of a Class R Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such Class R Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so recovered by the Trustee shall be paid and delivered by the Trustee to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of such Certificate.
(v) At the option of the Holder of the Class R Certificate, the Class R-1 Interest and the Class R-2 Interest may be severed and represented by separate certificates (with the certificate that represents the Class R-2 Interest also representing all rights of the Class R Certificate to distributions attributable to a Pass-Through Rate on the Class R Certificate in excess of the Net Rate); provided, however, that such separate certification may not occur until the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that separate certification in the form and manner proposed would not result in the imposition of federal tax upon the Trust Fund or any of the REMICs provided for herein or cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC; and provided further, that the provisions of Sections 5.02(b) and (c) will apply to each such separate certificate as if the separate certificate were a Class R Certificate. If, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, it is necessary to preserve the REMIC status of any of the REMICs provided for herein, the Class R-1 Interest and the residual interest in REMIC 2 shall be severed and represented by separate Certificates.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Class R Certificate set forth in this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the legend on a Class R Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers occurring after delivery to the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer of an Opinion of Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, any REMIC provided for herein, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate hereby consents to any amendment of this Agreement that, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to the Trustee, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Class R Certificate is not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
(d) The transferor of the Class R Certificate shall notify the Trustee in writing upon the transfer of the Class R Certificate.
(e) The preparation and delivery of all certificates, opinions and other writings referred to above in this Section 5.02 shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Trustee.
|
SECTION 5.03 |
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. |
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. All Certificates surrendered to the Trustee under the terms of this Section 5.03 shall be canceled and destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its standard procedures without liability on its part.
|
SECTION 5.04 |
Persons Deemed Owners. |
The NIMs Insurer, the Trustee and any agent of the NIMs Insurer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the NIMs Insurer or the Trustee, nor any agent of the NIMs Insurer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
|
SECTION 5.05 |
Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses. |
If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication that such Certificateholders propose to transmit or if the NIMs Insurer or the Depositor shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the NIMs Insurer or the Depositor or such Certificateholders at such recipients’ expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of the Trust Fund held by the Trustee, if any. The Depositor and every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
|
SECTION 5.06 |
Book-Entry Certificates. |
The Regular Certificates (other than the Class B-3 Certificates), upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the Depositor. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no Certificate Owner of a Book-Entry Certificate will receive a definitive certificate representing such Certificate Owner’s interest in such Certificates, except as provided in Section 5.08. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to the Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates pursuant to Section 5.08:
|
(a) |
the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect; |
(b) the Depositor, the NIMs Insurer and the Trustee may deal with the Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes (including the making of distributions) as the authorized representative of the respective Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates;
(c) registration of the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository;
(d) the rights of the respective Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between the Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates and the Depository and/or the Depository Participants.

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Independent Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer, if any. No such resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until MLMLI or the Trustee or a successor to the Master Servicer reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof. The Trustee shall notify the Rating Agencies of the resignation of the Master Servicer.

ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
SECTION 7.01 Events of Default. “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) and only with respect to the defaulting Master Servicer:
(i) The Master Servicer fails to cause to be deposited in the Distribution Account any amount so required to be deposited pursuant to this Agreement, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of three Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer; or
(ii) The Master Servicer fails to observe or perform in any material respect any other material covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement to be performed by it, which covenants and agreements materially affect the rights of Certificateholders, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, properly requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust Fund or by the NIMs Insurer; or
(iii) There is entered against the Master Servicer a decree or order by a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order is unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or an involuntary case is commenced against the Master Servicer under any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute and the petition is not dismissed within 60 days after the commencement of the case; or
(iv) The Master Servicer consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or substantially all of its property; or the Master Servicer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations; or
(v) The Master Servicer assigns or delegates its duties or rights under this Agreement in contravention of the provisions permitting such assignment or delegation under Sections 6.05 or 6.07.
In each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default with respect to the Master Servicer shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (with the written consent of the NIMs Insurer, except after a NIMs Insurer Default), the NIMs Insurer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the principal of the Trust Fund (with the written consent of the NIMs Insurer, except after a NIMs Insurer Default), by notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by such Certificateholders), with a copy to the Rating Agencies, and with the consent of MLMLI, may terminate all of the rights and obligations (but not the liabilities) of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and/or the REO Property serviced by the Master Servicer and the proceeds thereof. Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of the written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans, REO Property or under any other related agreements (but only to the extent that such other agreements relate to the Mortgage Loans or related REO Property) shall, subject to Section 7.02, automatically and without further action pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s rights and obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee of (i) the property and amounts which are then or should be part of the Trust or which thereafter become part of the Trust; and (ii) originals or copies of all documents of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the Trustee to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s duties thereunder. In addition to any other amounts which are then, or, notwithstanding the termination of its activities under this Agreement, may become payable to the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, out of any amount received on account of a Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, that portion of such payments which it would have received as reimbursement under this Agreement if notice of termination had not been given. The termination of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer shall not affect any obligations incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such termination.
SECTION 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) Upon the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or an Opinion of Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6.05 to the effect that the Master Servicer is legally unable to act or to delegate its duties to a Person which is legally able to act, the Trustee shall automatically become the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its capacity under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall thereafter be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liabilities relating thereto placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that MLMLI shall have the right to either (a) immediately assume the duties of the Master Servicer or (b) select a successor Master Servicer; provided further, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever with respect to any liability (other than advances deemed recoverable and not previously made) incurred by the Master Servicer at or prior to the time of termination. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts due the Master Servicer as reimbursement permitted under this Agreement for advances previously made or expenses previously incurred. Notwithstanding the above, or anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee, if it becomes Master Servicer, shall have no responsibility or obligation (i) to repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan, (ii) for any representation or warranty of the Master Servicer hereunder, and (iii) for any act or omission of either a predecessor or successor Master Servicer other than the Trustee. The Trustee may conduct any activity required of it as Master Servicer hereunder through an Affiliate or through an agent. Neither the Trustee nor any other successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder due to any act or omission of a predecessor Master Servicer, including but not limited to failure to timely deliver to the Trustee distribution instructions, any funds required to be deposited to the Trust Fund, or any breach of its duty to cooperate with a transfer of master servicing. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution which is a Xxxxxx Xxx- or Xxxxxxx Mac-approved servicer, the appointment of which successor shall be approved by the NIMs Insurer, and with respect to a successor to the Master Servicer only, having a net worth of not less than $10,000,000, as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer hereunder; provided, that the Trustee shall obtain a letter from each Rating Agency that the ratings, if any, on each of the Certificates and the NIM Notes, if any, will not be lowered as a result of the selection of the successor to the Master Servicer. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer shall have consented thereto and prior written consent of the NIMs Insurer is obtained. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer hereunder, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, in the event that the provisions of Section 6.06 shall apply, no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Trustee under this Subsection 7.02(a), and that such successor shall undertake and assume the obligations of the Trustee to pay compensation to any third Person acting as an agent or independent contractor in the performance of master servicing responsibilities hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
(b) If the Trustee shall succeed to any duties of the Master Servicer respecting the Mortgage Loans as provided herein, it shall do so in a separate capacity and not in its capacity as Trustee and, accordingly, the provisions of Article IX shall be inapplicable to the Trustee in its duties as the successor to the Master Servicer in the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (although such provisions shall continue to apply to the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee); the provisions of Article VII, however, shall apply to it in its capacity as successor master servicer.
SECTION 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, the NIMs Insurer, if any, and to the Rating Agencies.
SECTION 7.04 Waiver of Defaults. The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders and the NIMs Insurer, within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to the Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured, notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee. The Holders of
Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund may, on behalf of all Certificateholders, waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consequences thereof, except a default in the making of or the causing to be made any required distribution on the Certificates. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall be deemed to cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been timely remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. The Trustee shall give notice of any such waiver to the Rating Agencies.
SECTION 7.05 List of Certificateholders. Upon written request of three or more Certificateholders of record, for purposes of communicating with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement, the Trustee will afford such Certificateholders access during business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Trustee.

THE SECURITIES ADMINISTRATOR
SECTION 8.01 Duties of Trustee. (a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, and the Securities Administrator each undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement as duties of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively. If an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and subject to Section 7.02(b) use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
(b) Upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments which are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively, 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 resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Master Servicer; provided, further, that neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or verification of any calculation provided to it pursuant to this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected and if the instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, the Trustee will provide notice thereof to the NIMs Insurer and the Certificateholders and take such further action as directed by the NIMs Insurer and the Certificateholders.
(c) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall make monthly distributions and the final distribution to the Certificateholders from funds in the Distribution Account as provided in Sections 4.07 and 9.01 herein based solely on the report of the Securities Administrator.
(d) 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:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable except for the performance of their respective duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable in its individual capacity for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee or an officer of the Securities Administrator, respectively, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the directions of the NIMs Insurer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust Fund, if such action or non-action relates to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, or exercising any trust or other power conferred upon the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, under this Agreement;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office shall have actual knowledge thereof. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no such default or Event of Default;
(v) The Trustee shall not in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in any Account held by or in the name of Trustee unless it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of such insufficiency (except to the extent that the Trustee is obligor and has defaulted thereon);
(vi) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee or the Securities Administrator be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action; and
(vii) None of the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, any Servicer or the Trustee shall be responsible for the acts or omissions of the other, it being understood that this Agreement shall not be construed to render them partners, joint venturers or agents of one another.
Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, 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 hereunder or under the Servicing Agreements, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) All funds received by the Master Servicer and the Trustee and required to be deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or Distribution Account pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly so deposited by the Master Servicer and the Trustee.
(f) Except for those actions that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator is required to take hereunder, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any obligation or liability to take any action or to refrain from taking any action hereunder in the absence of written direction as provided hereunder.
SECTION 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee and the Securities Administrator. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in reliance on any resolution, certificate of a Depositor, Master Servicer or Servicer, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may consult with counsel and any advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement, other than its obligation to give notices pursuant to this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders or the NIMs Insurer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or NIMs Insurer shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. Nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge (which has not been cured or waived), subject to Section 8.02(b), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
(iv) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable in its individual capacity for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(v) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of the Trust Fund or the NIMs Insurer and provided that the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, reasonably assured to the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee or the Securities Administrator may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to taking any such action. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Certificateholders or the NIMs Insurer requesting the investigation;
(vi) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or through Affiliates, agents or attorneys; provided, however, that the Trustee may not appoint any agent to perform its custodial functions with respect to the Mortgage Files or paying agent functions under this Agreement without the express written consent of the Master Servicer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable or responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any of the Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’s agents or attorneys or a custodian or paying agent appointed hereunder by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator with due care and, when required, with the consent of the Master Servicer;
(vii) Should the Trustee or the Securities Administrator deem the nature of any action required on its part, other than a payment or transfer under Subsection 4.01(b) or Section 4.02, to be unclear, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, may require prior to such action that it be provided by the Depositor with reasonable further instructions;
(viii) The right of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be accountable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of any such act;
(ix) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be required to give any bond or surety with respect to the execution of the trust created hereby or the powers granted hereunder, except as provided in Section 8.07; and
(x) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Mortgage Loan by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable, or the eligibility of any Mortgage Loan for purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.03 Trustee and Securities Administrator Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator makes any representation as to the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates (other than the signature and countersignature of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan except as expressly provided in Sections 2.02 and 2.05 hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve the Trustee or the Custodian of the obligation to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 2.04. The Trustee’s signature and countersignature (or countersignature of its agent) on the Certificates shall be solely in its capacity as Trustee of the Trust Fund and shall not constitute the Certificates an obligation of the Trustee in any other capacity. Neither the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Depositor with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05, neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall not be responsible for the legality or validity of this Agreement or any document or instrument relating to this Agreement, the validity of the execution of this Agreement or of any supplement hereto or instrument of further assurance, the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of the security for the Certificates issued hereunder or intended to be issued hereunder, or of any guaranty of a NIMs Insurer or related document other than with respect to the Trustee’s execution and authentication of the Certificates. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall at any time have any responsibility or liability for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Mortgage Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency of the Trust Fund or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to Certificateholders, under this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall have any responsibility for filing any financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement other than any continuation statements filed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.20.
SECTION 8.04 Trustee and Securities Administrator May Own Certificates. The Trustee and the Securities Administrator in its individual capacity or in any capacity other than as Trustee hereunder may become the owner or pledgee of any Certificates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and may otherwise deal with the parties hereto.
SECTION 8.05 Trustee’s and Securities Administrator’s Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall be paid by the Master Servicer in accordance with a side letter agreement. In addition, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator will be entitled to recover from the Master Servicer Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.03(b) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances and the expenses of the Trustee and the Securities Administrator, respectively, in connection with any Event of Default, any breach of this Agreement or any claim or legal action (including any pending or threatened claim or legal action) incurred or made by the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, in the administration of the trusts hereunder (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or intentional misconduct or which is the responsibility of the Certificateholders or the Trust Fund hereunder. If funds in the Master Servicer Collection Account are insufficient therefor, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall recover such expenses from the Depositor. Such compensation and reimbursement obligation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust.
SECTION 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee and Securities Administrator. (a) The Trustee and any successor Trustee and the Securities Administrator and any successor Securities Administrator shall during the entire
duration of this Agreement be a state bank or trust company or a national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of such state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus and undivided profits of at least $40,000,000 or, in the case of a successor Trustee, $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and, in the case of the Trustee, rated “BBB” or higher by S&P and Fitch with respect to their long-term rating and rated “BBB” or higher by S&P and Fitch with respect to any outstanding long-term unsecured unsubordinated debt, and, in the case of a successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator other than pursuant to Section 8.10, rated in one of the two highest long-term debt categories of, or otherwise acceptable to, each of the Rating Agencies and reasonably acceptable to the NIMs Insurer. If the Trustee publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its total equity capital (combined capital and surplus) as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.08.
(b) In addition, the Securities Administrator (i) may not be an Originator, Seller, Master Servicer, Servicer, the Depositor or an affiliate of the Depositor unless the Securities Administrator is in an institutional trust department of the relevant entity, (ii) must be authorized to exercise corporate trust powers under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and (iii) must be rated at least “A/F1” by Fitch, if Fitch is a Rating Agency, or the equivalent rating by S&P or Moody’s, or such other rating as is acceptable to Fitch as provided in an Rating Agency Confirmation.

All such insurance shall be in amounts, with standard coverage and subject to deductibles, as are customary for insurance typically maintained by banks or their affiliates which act as custodians for investor-owned mortgage pools. A certificate of an officer of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator as to the Trustee’s or the Securities Administrator’s, respectively, compliance with this Section 8.07 shall be furnished to any Certificateholder upon reasonable written request.
SECTION 8.08 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and Securities Administrator. (a) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator may at any time resign and be discharged from the Trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the NIMs Insurer and the Master Servicer, with a copy to the Rating Agencies. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or successor Securities Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the resigning Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable.

for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor shall promptly remove the Trustee, or shall be entitled to remove the Securities Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, so removed, the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable.
(c) The Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund, with the consent of the NIMs Insurer, or the NIMs Insurer, may at any time remove the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and appoint a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator by written instrument or instruments, in quadruplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized (or the NIMs Insurer), one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator (if the Trustee is removed), the Trustee (if the Securities Administrator is removed), and the Trustee or Securities Administrator so removed and the successor so appointed. Notice of any removal of the Trustee or Securities Administrator shall be given to the NIMs Insurer and each Rating Agency by the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator.
(d) No resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator and appointment of a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.08 shall become effective except upon appointment of and acceptance of such appointment by a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator acceptable to the NIMs Insurer as provided in Section 8.09.
SECTION 8.09 Successor Trustee and Successor Securities Administrator. (a) Any successor Trustee or Securities Administrator appointed as provided in Section 8.08 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the NIMs Insurer and its predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder. The resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall then become effective and such successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee or Securities Administrator herein. The predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall after payment of its outstanding fees and expenses promptly deliver to the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, all assets and records of the Trust held by it hereunder, and the Depositor and the predecessor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator, as applicable, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
(b) No successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.09 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
(c) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Securities Administrator as provided in this Section 8.09, the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee or Securities Administrator hereunder to all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to the Rating Agencies. The Depositor shall pay the cost of any mailing by the successor Trustee or Securities Administrator.
SECTION 8.10 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee or Securities Administrator. Any state bank or trust company or national banking association into which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any state bank or trust company or national banking association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, shall be a party, or any state bank or trust company or national banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, shall be the successor of the Trustee or the Securities Administrator, respectively, hereunder, provided such state bank or trust company or national banking association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06. Such succession shall be valid without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 8.11 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust or property constituting the same may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee, the NIMs Insurer and the Depositor to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.11, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor, the NIMs Insurer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.
(b) If the Depositor, the Trustee or the NIMs Insurer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a written request so to do, the Trustee shall have the power to make such appointment without the Depositor, the Trustee or the NIMs Insurer.
(c) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.
(d) In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.11, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee and required to be conferred on such co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
(e) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Master Servicer, the NIMs Insurer and the Depositor.
(f) To the extent not prohibited by law, any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, request the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to do any lawful act under or with respect to this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor Trustee.
(g) No trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of another trustee under this Agreement. The Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly, with the consent of the NIMs Insurer, may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
SECTION 8.12 Federal Information Returns and Reports to Certificateholders; REMIC Administration. (a) For federal income tax purposes, the taxable year of REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 shall be a calendar year and the Securities
Administrator shall maintain or cause the maintenance of the books of such REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 on the accrual method of accounting.
(b) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file or cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service, and the Trustee shall sign, federal tax information returns or elections required to be made hereunder with respect to REMIC 1 and REMIC 2, the Trust Fund, if applicable, and the Certificates containing such information and at the times and in the manner as may be required by the Code or applicable Treasury regulations, and shall furnish to each Holder of Certificates at any time during the calendar year for which such returns or reports are made such statements or information at the times and in the manner as may be required thereby, including, without limitation, reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using a constant prepayment assumption of 25% CPR for the Mortgage Loans). The Securities Administrator will apply for an Employee Identification Number from the IRS under Form SS-4 or any other acceptable method for all tax entities. In connection with the foregoing, the Securities Administrator shall timely prepare and file, and the Trustee shall sign, IRS Form 8811, which shall provide the name and address of the person who can be contacted to obtain information required to be reported to the holders of regular interests in REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 (the “REMIC Reporting Agent”). The Trustee shall make an election to treat REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 as a REMIC (which elections shall apply to the taxable period ending December 31, 2005 and each calendar year thereafter) in such manner as the Code or applicable Treasury regulations may prescribe, and as described by the Securities Administrator. The Trustee shall sign all tax information returns filed pursuant to this Section and any other returns as may be required by the Code. The Holder of the Class R Certificate is hereby designated as the “Tax Matters Person” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §§1.860F-4(d)) for the REMIC 1 and REMIC 2. The Securities Administrator is hereby designated and appointed as the agent of each such Tax Matters Person. Any Holder of a Residual Certificate will by acceptance thereof appoint the Securities Administrator as agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of acting as Tax Matters Person for the REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 during such time as the Securities Administrator does not own any such Residual Certificate. In the event that the Code or applicable Treasury regulations prohibit the Trustee from signing tax or information returns or other statements, or the Securities Administrator from acting as agent for the Tax Matters Person, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall take whatever action that in its sole good faith judgment is necessary for the proper filing of such information returns or for the provision of a tax matters person, including designation of the Holder of a Residual Certificate to sign such returns or act as tax matters person. Each Holder of a Residual Certificate shall be bound by this Section.
(c) The Securities Administrator shall provide upon request and receipt of reasonable compensation, such information as required in Section 860D(a)(6)(B) of the Code to the Internal Revenue Service, to any Person purporting to transfer a Residual Certificate to a Person other than a Permitted Transferee, and to any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate, organization described in Section 1381 of the Code, or nominee holding an interest in a pass-through entity described in Section 860E(e)(6) of the Code, any record holder of which is not a Permitted Transferee (or which is deemed by statute to be an entity with a disqualified member).
(d) The Securities Administrator shall prepare and file or cause to be filed, and the Trustee shall sign, any state income tax returns required under Applicable State Law with respect to REMIC 1 and REMIC 2 or the Trust Fund.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount on the Mortgage Loans, that the Trustee or the Securities Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the Trustee or the Securities Administrator withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee or the Securities Administrator shall, together with its monthly report to such Certificateholders, indicate such amount withheld.
(f) The Trustee and the Securities Administrator agree to indemnify the Trust Fund and the Depositor for any taxes and costs including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys fees imposed on or incurred by the Trust Fund, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as a result of a breach of the Trustee’s covenants and the Securities Administrator’s
covenants, respectively, set forth in this Section 8.12; provided, however, such liability and obligation to indemnify in this paragraph shall not be joint and several and neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator shall be liable or be obligated to indemnify the Trust Fund for the failure by the other to perform any duty under this Agreement or the breach by the other of any covenant in this Agreement.
ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION
|
SECTION 9.01 |
Termination upon Liquidation or Repurchase of all Mortgage Loans. |
(a) Subject to Section 9.03, the obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) an Optional Termination and (b) the later of (i) the maturity or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund (or any Monthly Advance with respect thereto) and the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the earlier of (i) 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 hereof and (ii) the Latest Possible Maturity Date.
(b) On or before the Determination Date following the Initial Optional Termination Date, the Securities Administrator shall attempt to terminate the Trust Fund by conducting an auction of all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties via a solicitation of bids from at least three (3) bidders, each of which shall be a nationally recognized participant in mortgage finance (the “Auction”). The Depositor and the Securities Administrator agree to work in good faith to develop bid procedures in advance of the Initial Optional Termination Date to govern the operation of the Auction. The Securities Administrator shall be entitled to retain an investment banking firm and/or other agents in connection with the Auction, the cost of which shall be included in the Optional Termination Price (unless an Optional Termination does not occur in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund). The Securities Administrator shall accept the highest bid received at the Auction; provided that the amount of such bid equals or exceeds the Optional Termination Price. The Securities Administrator shall determine the Optional Termination Price based upon information provided by (i) the Master Servicer with respect to the amounts described in clauses (A) and (B) of the definition of “Optional Termination Price” (other than Securities Administrator’s expenses) and (ii) the Depositor with respect to the information described in clause (C) of the definition of “Optional Termination Price.” The Securities Administrator may conclusively rely upon the information provided to it in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence and shall not have any liability for the failure of any party to provide such information.
If an Optional Termination does not occur as a result of the Auction’s failure to achieve the Optional Termination Price, the NIMs Insurer (or the Master Servicer, if the NIMs Insurer does not do so) may, on any Distribution Date following such Auction, at its option, terminate the Trust Fund by purchasing all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the Optional Termination Price. In the event that there is a NIMs Insurer at the time of the Auction, the Auction fails to achieve the Optional Termination Price and the NIMs Insurer does not exercise its option to terminate the Trust Fund on the first Distribution Date on which it is able to exercise such option, the Master Servicer may, at such time, at its option, terminate the Trust Fund by purchasing all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at a price equal to the Optional Termination Price. In connection with such termination, the Optional Termination Price shall be delivered to the Trustee no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Optional Termination Amount paid to the Securities Administrator by the winning bidder at the Auction or by the NIMs Insurer or the Master Servicer shall be deposited by the Trustee directly into the Distribution Account immediately upon receipt. Upon any termination as a result of an Auction, the Trustee shall, out of the Optional Termination Amount deposited into the Distribution Account, (x) pay the Securities Administrator its costs and expenses necessary to conduct the Auction and any other unreimbursed amounts owing to it and (y) pay to the Master Servicer or Servicer, the aggregate amount of any unreimbursed out-of-pocket costs and expenses owed to the Master Servicer or Servicer and any unpaid or unreimbursed Servicing Fees, Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (b) above, in the event that the Securities Administrator receives the written opinion of a nationally recognized participant in mortgage finance acceptable to the Seller that the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to be included in the Auction will not be saleable at a price sufficient to achieve the Optional Termination Price, the Trustee need not conduct the Auction. In such event, the NIMs Insurer, if any, and the Master Servicer in the event the NIMs Insurer declines to exercise its option, shall have the option to purchase the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties at the Optional Termination Price as of the Initial Optional Termination Date.
|
SECTION 9.02 |
Final Distribution on the Certificates. |
If on any Determination Date, (i) the Trustee determines that there are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund other than the funds in the Master Servicer Collection Account, the Trustee shall send a final distribution notice promptly to each Certificateholder and the NIMs Insurer or (ii) the Trustee determines that a Class of Certificates shall be retired after a final distribution on such Class, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders within seven (7) Business Days after such Determination Date that the final distribution in retirement of such Class of Certificates is scheduled to be made on the immediately following Distribution Date. Any final distribution made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee.
Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund, specifying the Distribution Date on which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed no later than the last calendar day of the month immediately preceding the month of such final distribution (or with respect to an Auction, mailed no later than one Business Day following completion of such Auction). Any such notice shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office therein designated, (b) the location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must be made, and (c) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Trustee will give such notice to the NIMs Insurer and each Rating Agency at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.
In the event such notice is given, the Master Servicer shall cause all funds in the Master Servicer Collection Account to be deposited in the Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date in an amount equal to the final distribution in respect of the Certificates. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor, the Trustee shall promptly release to the Trustee or the NIMs Insurer, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the Mortgage Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed to Certificateholders of each Class the amounts allocable to such Certificates held in the Distribution Account in the order and priority set forth in Section 4.04 hereof on the final Distribution Date and in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Class R Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed funds and other assets of the Trust Fund that remain subject hereto. Upon payment to the Class R Certificateholders of such funds and assets, the Trustee shall have no further duties or obligations with respect thereto.
|
SECTION 9.03 |
Additional Termination Requirements. |
(a) In the event the Securities Administrator, the NIMs Insurer or the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 9.01, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee shall have been furnished with an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust as defined in Section 860F of the Code or (ii) cause the REMIC constituting part of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall adopt and sign a plan of complete liquidation of the Trust Fund as provided to it by the Master Servicer, meeting the requirements of a “qualified liquidation” under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder; and
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust to the Master Servicer for cash pursuant to the terms of the plan of complete liquidation.
(b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby agree to appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to: (i) adopt such a plan of complete liquidation (and the Certificateholders hereby appoint the Trustee as their attorney in fact to sign such plan) as appropriate and (ii) to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably required to carry out such plan of complete liquidation all in accordance with the terms hereof.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01 Intent of Parties. The parties intend that the REMIC Trust shall be treated as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes and that the provisions of this Agreement should be construed in furtherance of this intent.
SECTION 10.02 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee, with the consent of the NIMs Insurer and without the consent of any of the Certificateholders to:
|
(i) |
to cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake, |
(ii) to correct, modify or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein,
(iii) to add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, or
(iv) to modify, alter, amend, add to or rescind any of the terms or provisions contained in this Agreement, provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv), such amendment will not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to such effect, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holder; provided, further, however, that such amendment will be deemed to not adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Holder if the Person requesting such amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that such amendment will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of its rating of any Class of the Certificates, it being understood and agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Certificateholders, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee may at any time and from time to time amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification of any of the REMICs provided for herein as REMICs under the Code or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund or any of the REMICs provided for herein pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trust Fund at any time prior to the final redemption of the Certificates, provided that the Trustee and the NIMs Insurer shall have been provided an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee, to the effect that such action is necessary or appropriate to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer , the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and the Holders of the Certificates affected thereby evidencing not less than 66?% of the Voting Rights, with the consent of the NIMs Insurer, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in (i), without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing 66?% or more of the Voting Rights of such Class or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment without the consent of the Holders of all such Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee, which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee, to the effect that such amendment is permitted hereunder and will not cause the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, any of the REMICs provided for herein or the Certificateholders or cause any of the REMICs provided for herein to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. A copy of such Opinion of Counsel shall be provided to the NIMs Insurer.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee or upon the written request of the Trustee to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the NIMs Insurer and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Master Servicer to enter into an amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Trustee or the Master Servicer that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this Section 10.01.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any supplement, modification or waiver which affects its rights, duties or obligations hereunder.
SECTION 10.03 Recordation of Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere. The Depositor shall effect such recordation, at the expense of the Trust upon the request in writing of a Certificateholder, but only if such direction is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of the Certificateholder requesting recordation) to the effect that such recordation would materially and beneficially affect the interests of the Certificateholders or is required by law.
SECTION 10.04 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. (a) The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder’s legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.
(b) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Certificateholders shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management of the Trust, 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 establish the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholders 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.
(c) No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon, under or with respect to this Agreement against the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or any successor to any such parties unless (i) such Certificateholder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of a continuing default, as herein provided, (ii) the Holders of
Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund 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 costs and expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and (iii) the Trustee, for 60 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.
(d) No one or more Certificateholders shall have any right by virtue of any provision of this Agreement to affect the rights of any other Certificateholders or to obtain or seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Certificateholder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.04, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
SECTION 10.05 Acts of Certificateholders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is expressly required, to the Depositor. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Depositor, if made in the manner provided in this Section 10.05.
(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 a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her 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 (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on such Certificates, except an endorsement in accordance with Section 5.02 made on a Regular Certificate presented in accordance with Section 5.04) shall be proved by the Certificate Register, and neither the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor any successor to any such parties shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action of the holder of any Regular Certificate shall bind every future holder of the same Regular Certificate and the holder of every Regular Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer or exchange thereof, if applicable, or in lieu thereof with respect to anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any successor to any such party in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificates.
(e) In determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Certificates owned by the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be disregarded, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.02(b) and except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Certificates which the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Certificates which have been pledged in good faith to the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgor establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgor’s right to act with respect to such
Certificates and that the pledgor is not an Affiliate of the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Depositor, or the Master Servicer, as the case may be.

Any purported Certificate Owner whose acquisition or holding of any Book-Entry Certificate (or interest therein) was effected in violation of the restrictions in Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Trust Fund from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (hereinafter called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Holders of the Certificates, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions and conditions provided therein, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Holders of the Certificates under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund or of the applicable Class or Classes, if such amendment affects only such Class or Classes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Holders of the Certificates of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment (or any advance with respect thereto) on or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the optional purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans remaining therein. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining therein at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Loan Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being 10% or less of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

To the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement.

All distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will be made or caused to be made by or on behalf of the Trustee by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior to such Distribution Date and is the registered owner of Class [B-_] Certificates, or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to the address of the Person entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate Register.

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (hereinafter called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof equal to the denomination specified on the face hereof divided by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from the Master Servicer Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Holders of the Certificates, such purposes including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions and conditions provided therein, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Holders of the Certificates under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund or of the applicable Class or Classes, if such amendment affects only such Class or Classes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and an effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without registration or qualification, (i) unless such transfer is made in reliance upon Rule 144A (as evidenced by the investment letter delivered to the Trustee, in substantially the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-3) under the 1933 Act, the Trustee and the Depositor shall require a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor or (ii) the Trustee shall require the transferor to execute a transferor certificate (in substantially the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-2) and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-2) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee certifying to the Depositor and the Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee is obligated to register or qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar and the Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement. No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Holders of the Certificates of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, (ii) the final payment (or any advance with respect thereto) on or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (iii) the optional purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans remaining therein. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining therein at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Loan Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being 10% or less of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

In addition, any distribution of the proceeds of any remaining assets of the Trust will be made only upon presentment and surrender of this Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office.
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated as Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof (hereinafter called the “Certificates”) and representing a Percentage Interest in the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof.
The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and recoveries respecting the related Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions and conditions provided therein, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights of the Holders of the Certificates under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 51% of the Trust Fund or of the applicable Class or Classes, if such amendment affects only such Class or Classes, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices or agencies appointed by the Trustee as provided in the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

In the event of any such transfer, made in reliance upon an exemption from the 1933 Act, (i) the Trustee and the Depositor shall require (a) the transferor to certify in writing the facts surrounding the transfer (in substantially the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit E-2), and the transferee to execute an investment letter (in substantially the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit E-1) and (b) a written Opinion of Counsel (which may be in-house counsel) acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor that such transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the 1933 Act or is being made pursuant to the 1933 Act, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Depositor. The Holder of this Class R Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee and the Depositor against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any such Plan or any person using Plan Assets to acquire this Certificate shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement.
Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the Trustee (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the REMIC to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
This certificate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund created thereby shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Holders of the Certificates of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment (or any advance with respect thereto) on or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the optional purchase by the party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans remaining therein. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining therein at a price determined as provided in the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Loan Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being 10% or less of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to be duly executed.

Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate will be made after due notice by the Trustee of the pendency of such distribution and only upon the presentation and surrender of this Certificate at the office or agency appointed by the Trustee for that purpose as provided in the Agreement.

WITNESSETH THAT:

WHEREAS, the Custodian has agreed to act as agent for the Trustee for the purposes of receiving and holding certain documents and other instruments delivered by the Company or the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, all upon the terms and conditions and subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Trustee, the Company, the Master Servicer and the Custodian hereby agree as follows:

DEFINITIONS
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Original Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless otherwise required by the context herein.
ARTICLE II
CUSTODY OF MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS
Section 2.1 Custodian to Act as Agent: Acceptance of Mortgage Files. The Custodian, as the duly appointed agent of the Trustee for these purposes, acknowledges (subject to any exceptions noted in the Initial Certification referred to in Section 2.3(a)) receipt of the Mortgage Files relating to the Mortgage Loans identified on the schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Files”) and declares that it holds and will hold such Mortgage Files as agent for the Trustee, in trust, for the use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
Section 2.2 Recordation of Assignments. If any Mortgage File includes one or more assignments of Mortgage to the Trustee in a state which is specifically excluded from the Opinion of Counsel delivered by the Seller to the Trustee (with a copy to the Custodian) pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall deliver each such assignment to the Company for the purpose of recording it in the appropriate public office for real property records, and the Company, at no expense to the Custodian, shall promptly cause to be recorded in the appropriate public office for real property records each such assignment of Mortgage and, upon receipt thereof from such public office, shall return each such assignment of Mortgage to the Custodian.
|
Section 2.3 |
Review of Mortgage Files. |
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Custodian agrees, for the benefit of Certificateholders, to review, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each such document, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Initial Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit One evidencing receipt (subject to any exceptions noted therein) of a Mortgage File for each of the Mortgage Loans listed on the Schedule attached hereto (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) and certifying that all such documents have been executed and received and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, except for any exceptions listed on Schedule A attached to such Initial Certification. The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine said documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
(b) Not later than 180 days after the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review the Mortgage Files as provided in Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and deliver to the Trustee a Final Certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit Two evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files (subject to any exceptions noted therein).
(c) In reviewing the Mortgage Files as provided herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Custodian shall make no representation as to and shall not be responsible to verify (i) the validity, legality, enforceability, due authorization, recordability, sufficiency or genuineness of any of the documents included in any Mortgage File or (ii) the collectibility, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any of the documents in any Mortgage File.
Upon receipt of written request from the Trustee, the Custodian shall as soon as practicable supply the Trustee with a list of all of the documents relating to the Mortgage Loans then contained in the Mortgage Files.
Section 2.4 Notification of Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Upon discovery by the Custodian of a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan relating to a Mortgage File, the Custodian shall give prompt written notice to the Company, the related Servicer and the Trustee.
Section 2.5 Custodian to Cooperate: Release of Mortgage Files. Upon receipt of written notice from the Master Servicer that the Mortgage Loan Seller has repurchased a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Article II of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and that the purchase price therefor has been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account, then the Custodian agrees to promptly release to the Mortgage Loan Seller the related Mortgage File.
Upon the Custodian’s receipt of a request for release (a “Request for Release”) substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement signed by a Servicing Officer of the related Servicer stating that it has received payment in full of a Mortgage Loan or that payment in full will be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Custodian agrees promptly to release to such Servicer the related Mortgage File. The Company shall deliver to the Custodian and the Custodian agrees to accept the Mortgage Note and other documents constituting the Mortgage File with respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan.
From time to time as is appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the related Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer requesting that possession of all of the Mortgage File be released to such Servicer and certifying as to the reason for such release and that such release will not invalidate any insurance coverage provided in respect of the Mortgage Loan under any of the Insurance Policies. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File to such Servicer. The related Servicer shall cause each Mortgage File or any document therein so released to be returned to the Custodian when the need therefore by such Servicer no longer exists, unless (i) the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Master Servicer Collection Account or the Distribution Account or (ii) the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney, or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the related Servicer has delivered to the Custodian a certificate of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
At any time that a Servicer is required to deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release, such Servicer shall deliver two copies of the Request for Release if delivered in hard copy or such Servicer may furnish such Request for Release electronically to the Custodian, in which event the Servicing Officer transmitting the same shall be deemed to have signed the Request for Release. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of a repurchase of a Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall send to the Trustee an assignment of mortgage, without recourse, representation or warranty from the Trustee to the Mortgage Loan Seller and the related Mortgage Note which shall be endorsed without recourse, representation or warranty by the Trustee and the Trustee shall forward such documents to the Mortgage Loan Seller. In connection with any Request for Release of a Mortgage File because of the payment in full of a Mortgage Loan, the related Servicer shall send to the Trustee a certificate of satisfaction
or other similar instrument to be executed by or on behalf of the Trustee and returned to such Servicer.
Section 2.6 Assumption Agreements. In the event that any assumption agreement or substitution of liability agreement is entered into with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, to the extent provided in the related Servicing Agreement, shall cause the related Servicer to notify the Custodian that such assumption or substitution agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Custodian the original of such assumption or substitution agreement, which shall be added to the related Mortgage File and, for all purposes, shall be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting parts thereof.
ARTICLE III
CONCERNING THE CUSTODIAN
Section 3.1 Custodian a Bailee and Agent of the Trustee. With respect to each Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other documents constituting each Mortgage File which are delivered to the Custodian, the Custodian is exclusively the bailee and agent of the Trustee and has no instructions to hold any Mortgage Note or Mortgage for the benefit of any person other than the Trustee and the Certificateholders and undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.5 of this Agreement, no Mortgage Note, Mortgage or Mortgage File shall be delivered by the Custodian to the Company, the Servicer or the Master Servicer or otherwise released from the possession of the Custodian.

The Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Custodian from time to time, and the Custodian shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Custodian, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse the Custodian upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Custodian in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith or to the extent that such cost or expense is indemnified by the Company pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section 3.5 Custodian May Resign; Trustee May Remove Custodian. The Custodian may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed upon it as such obligations and duties relate to its acting as Custodian of the Mortgage Loans. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Trustee shall either take custody of the Mortgage Files itself and give prompt notice thereof to the Company, the Master Servicer and the Custodian, or promptly appoint a successor Custodian by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Custodian and one copy to the successor Custodian. If the Trustee shall not have taken custody of the Mortgage Files and no successor Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Custodian.
The Trustee may remove the Custodian at any time with the consent of the Master Servicer. In such event, the Trustee shall appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor Custodian hereunder.

Any resignation or removal of the Custodian and appointment of a successor Custodian pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Custodian.

Section 3.7 Representations of the Custodian. The Custodian hereby represents that it is a depository institution subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state authority, has a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and is qualified to do business in the jurisdictions in which it will hold any Mortgage File.

|
(2) Evaluation and Understanding. |
(i) Cap Provider is acting for its own account. Each Party has made its own independent decisions to enter into this Transaction and as to whether this Transaction is appropriate or proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary. It is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the other party as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into this Transaction; it being understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of this Transaction shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter into this Transaction. It has not received from the other party any assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of this Transaction.
(ii) It is capable of evaluating and understanding (on its own behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of this Transaction. It is also capable of assuming, and assumes, the financial and other risks of this Transaction.
(iii) The other party is not acting as a fiduciary or an advisor for it in respect of this Transaction.
(3) Purpose. It is an “eligible contract participant” as defined in Section 1(a)(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended.
6) Additional Provisions. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 5 and 6 of the ISDA Form Master Agreement, if Counterparty has satisfied its payment obligations under Section 2(a)(i) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement, then unless Cap Provider is required pursuant to appropriate proceedings to return to Counterparty or otherwise returns to Counterparty upon demand of Counterparty any portion of such payment, (a) the occurrence of an event described in Section 5(a) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to Counterparty shall not constitute an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to Counterparty as the Defaulting Party and (b) Cap Provider shall be entitled to designate an Early Termination Event pursuant to Section 6 of the ISDA Form Master Agreement only as a result of a Termination Event set forth in either Section 5(b)(i) or Section 5(b)(ii) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to Cap Provider as the Affected Party or Section 5(b)(iii) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to Cap Provider as the Burdened Party. For purposes of the Transaction to which this Agreement relates, Counterparty’s only obligation under Section 2(a)(i) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement is to pay the Fixed Amount on the Fixed Rate Payer Payment Date.
7) Set-off. The provisions for Set-off set forth in Section 6(e) of the Agreement shall not apply for purposes of this Transaction.
8) Third party Beneficiary. Each of the Note Insurer and the Backup Note Issuer insuring the Securities, if any, is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and is entitled to the rights and benefits hereunder and may enforce the provisions hereof as if it were a party hereto.
9) Additional Termination Events. Additional Termination Events will apply. If a Rating Agency Downgrade has occurred and Cap Provider has not, within 30 days, complied with Section 10 below, then an Additional Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to Cap Provider and Cap Provider shall be the sole Affected Party with respect to such an Additional Termination Event.
10) Rating Agency Downgrade. If a Ratings Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to Cap Provider, then Cap Provider shall, at is own expense, (i) assign this Transaction hereunder to a third party within thirty (30) days of such Ratings Event that meets or exceeds, or as to which any applicable credit support provider meets or exceeds, the Approved Ratings Thresholds (as defined below) or (ii) deliver Eligible Collateral in a form acceptable to Counterparty and with Valuation Percentages as determined in Counterparty’s sole discretion, in an amount equal to the Exposure (as defined below), and an executed 1994 ISDA Credit Support Annex (subject to New York law), within thirty (30) days of such Ratings Event and if any Securities are outstanding, subject to the applicable Rating Agencies’ written confirmation that delivery of such collateral in the context of such
downgrade will not result in a withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of the then current ratings assigned to the Securities. Threshold shall mean zero with respect to Cap Provider. Minimum Transfer Amounts shall mean zero. For the avoidance of doubt, a downgrade of the rating on the Securities could occur in the event that Cap Provider does not post sufficient collateral. For purposes of this Transaction, a “Ratings Event” shall occur with respect to Cap Provider, if its counterparty credit rating ceases to be rated at least “AA-” by S&P, and at least “Aa3” by Xxxxx’x (including in connection with a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction by Cap Provider) such ratings being referred to herein as the “Approved Ratings Thresholds”, (unless, within 30 days after such withdrawal or downgrade, the applicable Rating Agencies have reconfirmed the rating of the Securities, as applicable, which was in effect immediately prior to such withdrawal or downgrade). Only with respect to such Ratings Event, “Exposure” shall mean the following: (i) the xxxx–to-market value of the Transaction as of the Valuation Date as such term is defined in the 1994 ISDA Credit Support Annex (subject to New York law). The provisions of Section 6(c) shall apply to Counterparty. In the event that the parties hereto execute a 1994 ISDA Credit Support Annex upon the occurrence of a Ratings Event, Cap Provider shall request its legal counsel to deliver to S&P, Fitch and Xxxxx’x an opinion as to the enforceability of the Agreement and the 1994 ISDA Credit Support Annex.
