(2) For each Distribution Date on or before the Clean-Up Call Option Date, the Certificate Interest Rate on the Class A-1A-L Regular Interest shall equal the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.360%, (ii) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) 10.50%. For each Distribution Date after the Clean-Up Call Option Date, the Certificate Interest Rate on the Class A-1A-L Regular Interest shall equal the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.720%, (ii) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) 10.50%.
(3) For each Distribution Date on or before the Clean-Up Call Option Date, the Certificate Interest Rate on the Class A-1B1-L Regular Interest shall equal the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.290%, (ii) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) 10.50%. For each Distribution Date after the Clean-Up Call Option Date, the Certificate Interest Rate on the Class A-1B1-L Regular Interest shall equal the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.580%, (ii) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) 10.50%.
(4) For each Distribution Date on or before the Clean-Up Call Option Date, the Certificate Interest Rate on the Class A-1B2-L Regular Interest shall equal the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.490%, (ii) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) 10.50%. For each Distribution Date after the Clean-Up Call Option Date, the Certificate Interest Rate on the Class A-1B2-L Regular Interest shall equal the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.980%, (ii) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) 10.50%.
(5) For each Distribution Date on or before the Clean-Up Call Option Date, the Certificate Interest Rate on the Class A-2A-L Regular Interest shall equal the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.370%, (ii) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) 10.50%. For each Distribution Date after the Clean-Up Call Option Date, the Certificate Interest Rate on the Class A-2A-L Regular Interest shall equal the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.740%, (ii) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) 10.50%.
(6) For each Distribution Date on or before the Clean-Up Call Option Date, the Certificate Interest Rate on the Class A-2B-L Regular Interest shall equal the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.440%, (ii) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) 10.50%. For each Distribution Date after the Clean-Up Call Option Date, the Certificate Interest Rate on the Class A-2B-L Regular Interest shall equal the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.880%, (ii) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date and (iii) 10.50%.
(7) For each Distribution Date, the Class X-L Regular Interest shall accrue interest on the Class X-L Notional Amount. For each Distribution Date, the Certificate Interest Rate on the Class X-L Regular Interest shall equal the excess, if any, of (i) the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate for such Distribution Date over (ii) the product of (a) the weighted average of the Certificate Interest Rates on the REMIC II Regular Interests (other than the Class X-L Regular Interest), adjusting for the Certificate Interest Rates on the Class A-L Regular Interests for an interest accrual period based on a year consisting of twelve thirty-day months and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate Class Principal Balance of the REMIC II Regular Interests (other than the Class X-L Regular Interest) immediately before that Distribution Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the second preceding Due Date. For REMIC purposes, the foregoing rate is equal to a rate per annum equal to the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the amounts calculated pursuant to clauses (1) through (3) below, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Principal Balances of the REMIC I Regular Interests. For purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rate for the Class X Certificates, the numerator is equal to the sum of the following components: 1. the Certificate Interest Rate for REMIC I Regular Interest LT1 minus the related Marker Rate, applied to a notional amount equal to the Class Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT1; 2. the Certificate Interest Rate for REMIC I Regular Interest LT2 minus the related Marker Rate, applied to a notional amount equal to the Class Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT2; 3. the Certificate Interest Rate for REMIC I Regular Interest LT4 minus twice the related Marker Rate, applied to a notional amount equal to the Class Principal Balance of REMIC I Regular Interest LT4.
(8) The Class X-L Regular Interest shall have both a Class Notional Amount and a Class Principal Balance. The Class X-L Principal Balance shall initially equal zero and shall thereafter be increased by the portion, if any, of Net Negative Amortization Amounts allocated to the Class X-L Regular Interest pursuant to the definition of “Net Negative Amortization Amount.” Interest shall accrue on the Class X-L Notional Amount and shall not accrue on the Class X-L Principal Balance.

Section 2.03. Separateness Requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and any provision of law that otherwise so empowers the Trust, so long as any Certificates are outstanding, the Trust shall perform the following:

(i) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Custodial Agreement, maintain its books, records, bank accounts and files separate from those of any other Person;

(ii) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, maintain its assets in its own separate name and in such a manner that it is not costly or difficult to segregate, identify, or ascertain such assets;

(iii) consider the interests of the Trust's creditors in connection with its actions;

(v) prepare and maintain separate records, accounts and financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and susceptible to audit. To the extent it is included in consolidated financial statements or consolidated tax returns, such financial statements and tax returns will reflect the separateness of the respective entities and indicate that the assets of the Trust will not be available to satisfy the debts of any other Person;

(vi) allocate and charge fairly and reasonably any overhead shared with any other Person;

(vii) transact all business with affiliates on an arm’s-length basis and pursuant to written, enforceable agreements;

(ix) maintain a separate office through which its business shall be conducted, provided that such office may be an office of the Trustee, which office shall not be shared with the Company or any affiliates of the Company;

(x) in the event that services have been or are in the future performed or paid by any Person on behalf of the Trust (other than the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Tax Matters Person as permitted herein), reimburse such Person, as applicable, for the commercially reasonable value of such services or expenses provided or incurred by such Person. Accordingly, (i) the Trust shall reimburse such Person, as applicable, for the commercially reasonable value of such services or expenses provided or incurred by such Person; (ii) to the extent invoices for such services are not allocated and separately billed to the Trust, the amount thereof that was or is to be allocated and separately billed to the Trust was or will be reasonably related to the services provided to the Trust; and (iii) any other allocation of direct, indirect or overhead expenses for items shared between the Trust and any other Person, was or will be, to the extent practicable, allocated on the basis of actual use or value of services rendered or otherwise on a basis reasonably related to actual use or the value of services rendered;

(xi) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, not commingle its assets or funds with those of any other Person;

(xii) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, not assume, guarantee, or pay the debts or obligations of any other Person;

(xiii) except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, not pledge its assets for the benefit of any other Person;

(xiv) not hold out its credit or assets as being available to satisfy the obligations of others;

(xv) pay its liabilities only out of its funds;

(xvi) pay the salaries of its own employees, if any; and

(xvii) cause the agents and other representatives of the Trust, if any, to act at all times with respect to the Trust consistently and in furtherance of the foregoing.

None of the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Company or the Master Servicer shall (except by amendment of this Agreement permitted by Section 10.01) take any action that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust or Section 2.02 or Section 2.03. Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer shall (except by amendment of this Agreement permitted by Section 10.01) direct the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee to take any action that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust or Section 2.02 or Section 2.03.

Section 2.04. Conveyance of Mortgage Pool Assets; Security Interest.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trust, without recourse, all the Company’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Pool Assets (such transfer and assignment by the Company to be referred to herein as the “Conveyance”).

It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Conveyance of the Mortgage Pool Assets to the Trust by the Company as provided in this Section 2.04 be, and be construed as, an absolute sale of the Mortgage Pool Assets. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such Conveyance be deemed the grant of a security interest in the Mortgage Pool Assets by the Company to the Trust to secure a debt or other obligation of the Company. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Mortgage Pool Assets are held to be the property of the Company, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Mortgage Pool Assets, then:

(a) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement;

(b) the conveyance provided for in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Company to the Trust of, and the Company hereby grants to the Trust, to secure all of the Company’s obligations hereunder, a security interest in all of the Company’s right, title, and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to:

(I) The Mortgage Pool Assets;

(II) All accounts, chattel paper, deposit accounts, documents, general intangibles, goods, instruments, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, letters of credit, money, and oil, gas, and other minerals, consisting of, arising from, or relating to, any of the foregoing; and

(III) All proceeds of the foregoing.

The Company shall file such financing statements, and the Company and the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust at the direction of the Company shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such other actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were found to create a security interest in the Mortgage Pool Assets, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of the Agreement. In connection herewith, the Trust shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.

In the event that a pleading is filed in a court of competent jurisdiction asserting that this Agreement creates a security interest in the Mortgage Pool Assets, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall take actual possession of the Mortgage Pool Assets or, at the Company's option, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be provided an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trust and the Trustee reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that such security interest is a perfected security interest of first priority while the Mortgage Pool Assets are in the possession of the Company or its affiliates.

Section 2.05. Delivery of Mortgage Files.

In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment referred to in Section 2.04, the Company, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does deliver to, and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Trustee or Custodian the Mortgage Files, which shall at all times be identified in the records of the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, as being held by or on behalf of the Trust.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company shall cause to be filed the UCC assignment or amendment referred to in clause (Y)(vii) of the definition of “Mortgage File.” In connection with its servicing of Cooperative Loans, the Master Servicer will use its best efforts to file timely continuation statements, if necessary, with regard to each financing statement and assignment relating to Cooperative Loans.

In instances where the original recorded Mortgage or any intervening assignment thereof (recorded or in recordable form) required to be included in the Mortgage File pursuant to the definition of “Mortgage File” relating to a Mortgage Loan is not included in the Mortgage File delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian) prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof (due to a delay on the part of the recording office), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee (or the Custodian) a fully legible reproduction (which may be in electronic form) of the original Mortgage or intervening assignment provided that the originator, the related Lender or the escrow or title company which provided closing services in connection with such Mortgage Loan certifies on the face of such reproduction(s) or copy as follows: “Certified true and correct copy of original which has been transmitted for recordation.” For purposes hereof, transmitted for recordation means having been mailed or otherwise delivered for recordation to the appropriate authority. In all such instances, the Company shall transmit the original recorded Mortgage and any intervening assignments with evidence of recording thereon (or a copy of such original Mortgage or intervening assignment certified by the applicable recording office) (which may be in electronic form) (collectively, “Recording Documents”) to the Trustee (or the Custodian) within 270 days after the execution and delivery hereof. In instances where, due to a delay on the part of the recording office where any such Recording Documents have been delivered for recordation, the Recording Documents cannot be delivered to the Trustee within 270 days after execution and delivery hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee within such time period a certificate (a “Company Officer’s Certificate”) signed by the Chairman of the Board, President, any Vice President or Treasurer of the Company stating the date by which the Company expects to receive such Recording Documents from the applicable recording office. In the event that Recording Documents have still not been received by the Company and delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian) by the date specified in its previous Company Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee by such date an additional Company Officer’s Certificate stating a revised date by which the Company expects to receive the applicable Recording Documents. This procedure shall be repeated until the Recording Documents have been received by the Company and delivered to the Trustee (or the Custodian).

For Mortgage Loans for which the Company has received a Payoff after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the date of execution and delivery hereof, the Company, in lieu of delivering the above documents, herewith delivers to the Trustee a certification of a Servicing Officer of the nature set forth in Section 3.10.

The Trustee is authorized, with the Master Servicer’s consent, to appoint any bank or trust company approved by each of the Company and the Master Servicer as Custodian of the documents or instruments referred to in this Section 2.05 or in Section 2.10, and to enter into a Custodial Agreement for such purpose; provided, however, that the Trustee shall be and remain liable for the acts of any such Custodian only to the extent that it is responsible for its own acts hereunder. Any documents delivered by the Company or the Master Servicer to the Custodian shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Trustee for all purposes hereunder; and any documents held by the Custodian shall be deemed to be held by the Trustee for all purposes hereunder. There shall be a written Custodial Agreement between the Trustee and each Custodian. Each Custodial Agreement shall contain an acknowledgment by the Custodian that all Mortgage Pool Assets, Mortgage Files, and other documents and property held by it at any time are held by it for the benefit of the Trust. Pursuant to the Initial Custodial Agreement, the Initial Custodian shall perform responsibilities of the Trustee with respect to the delivery, receipt, examination and custody of the Mortgage Files on the Trustee’s behalf, as provided therein.

On or promptly after the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall cause the MERS® System to indicate that each MERS Loan, if any, has been assigned to “Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, without recourse” or to “WaMu Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2004-AR13 Trust, without recourse” by including in the MERS® System computer files (a) the code necessary to identify the Trustee and (b) the code necessary to identify the series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that in the event the Company acquired such Mortgage Loans from an affiliate of the Company, then the Master Servicer need not cause the MERS® System to indicate such assignment. The Master Servicer shall not alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any MERS Loan during the term of this Agreement except in connection with an assignment of such MERS Loan or de-registration thereof from the MERS® System in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.06. REMIC Election for REMIC I.

The Tax Matters Person, shall, on behalf of REMIC I, elect to treat REMIC I as a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state laws. Such election shall be included in the Form 1066 and any appropriate state return to be filed on behalf of REMIC I for its first taxable year.

The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” of REMIC I within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

The regular interests (as set forth in the table contained in the Preliminary Statement hereto) relating to REMIC I are hereby designated as “regular interests” in REMIC I for purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. The Class R-1 Residual Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of “residual interest” in REMIC I for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code. The REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest shall together be deemed to be a separate series of beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust consisting of the REMIC I Assets pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of the Statutory Trust Statute.

The parties intend that the affairs of REMIC I shall constitute, and that the affairs of REMIC I shall be conducted so as to qualify REMIC I as a REMIC. In furtherance of such intention, the Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of REMIC I: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, a federal tax return using a calendar year as the taxable year and using an accrual method of accounting for REMIC I when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal income tax laws; (b) make an election, on behalf of the trust, for REMIC I to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of REMIC I for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (c) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest and the Trustee, all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions, and make available the information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code; (d) conduct the affairs of REMIC I at all times that any REMIC I Regular Interests are outstanding so as to maintain the status of REMIC I as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (e) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of REMIC I; and (f) pay the amount of any federal prohibited transaction penalty taxes imposed on REMIC I when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Company or any other appropriate person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Company from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); provided, that the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified by REMIC I for any such prohibited transaction penalty taxes if the Company’s failure to exercise reasonable care was not the primary cause of the imposition of such prohibited transaction penalty taxes.

The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Company with such information in the possession of the Trustee or the Master Servicer, respectively, as the Company may from time to time request for the purpose of enabling the Company to prepare tax returns. If so requested by the Tax Matters Person, the Trustee shall sign tax returns on behalf of the REMICs.

In the event that a Mortgage Loan is discovered to have a defect which, had such defect been discovered before the startup day, would have prevented such Mortgage Loan from being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, and the Company does not repurchase such Mortgage Loan within 90 days of such date, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall within 90 days of the date such defect is discovered sell such Mortgage Loan at such price as the Master Servicer in its sole discretion, determines to be the greatest price that will result in the purchase thereof within 90 days of such date, unless the Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that continuing to hold such Mortgage Loan will not adversely affect the status of the electing portion of REMIC I as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes.

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC I as defined in Section 860F of the Code and not paid by the Company pursuant to clause (f) of the third preceding paragraph, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Class R-1 Residual Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Trustee is hereby authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class R-1 Residual Interest on any Distribution Date sufficient funds to reimburse the Tax Matters Person (or any agent therefor appointed in accordance with the definition of “Tax Matters Person” herein, if applicable), for the payment of such tax (upon the written request of the Tax Matters Person or its agent, to the extent reimbursable, and to the extent that the Tax Matters Person or its agent has not been previously reimbursed therefor).

Section 2.07. Acceptance by Trustee. The Trustee acknowledges receipt (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to a Custodial Agreement, receipt by the Custodian thereunder) on behalf of the Trust of the documents (or certified copies thereof as specified in Section 2.05) referred to in Section 2.05 above, but without having made the review required to be made within 45 days pursuant to this Section 2.07. The Trustee acknowledges that all Mortgage Pool Assets, Mortgage Files, and related documents and property held by it at any time are held by it as Trustee of the Trust for the benefit of the holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest. The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Trust, to review (or cause the Initial Custodian to review) each Mortgage File within 45 days after the Closing Date and deliver to the Company a certification (or cause the Initial Custodian to deliver to the Company a certification, which satisfies the applicable requirements of this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to the Initial Custodian Exhibit B-2 to the Initial Custodial Agreement is deemed to satisfy the applicable requirements of this Agreement) in the form attached as Exhibit M hereto, to the effect that, except as noted, all documents required (in the case of instruments described in clauses (X)(ii), (X)(iv) and (Y)(ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File,” known by the Trustee to be required) pursuant to the definition of “Mortgage File” and Section 2.05 have been executed and received, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule. In performing such review, the Trustee may rely upon the purported genuineness and due execution of any such document, and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. The Trustee shall not be required to make any independent examination of any documents contained in each Mortgage File beyond the review specifically required herein. The Trustee makes no representations as to: (i) the validity, legality, enforceability or genuineness of any of the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or (ii) the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Trustee shall promptly so notify the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, if any such defect cannot be corrected or cured, the Company shall, not later than 60 days after the Trustee’s notice to it respecting such defect, within the three-month period commencing on the Closing Date (or within the two-year period commencing on the Closing Date if the related Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(f)), either (i) repurchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the Purchase Price, or (ii) substitute for any Mortgage Loan to which such defect relates a different mortgage loan (a “Substitute Mortgage Loan”) which is a “qualified replacement mortgage” (as defined in the Code) and, (iii) after such three-month or two-year period, as applicable, the Company shall repurchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the Purchase Price but only if the Mortgage Loan is in default or default is, in the judgment of the Company, reasonably imminent. If such defect would cause the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” (as defined in the Code), then notwithstanding the previous sentence or any provision in the definition of “Purchase Price,” the repurchase or substitution must occur within the sooner of (i) 90 days from the date the defect was discovered or (ii) in the case of substitution, two years from the Closing Date.

Such Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be an adjustable rate mortgage loan with a first Interest Rate Adjustment Date occurring on approximately the same date as the first Interest Rate Adjustment Date for the Mortgage Loan being substituted for and adjustments monthly thereafter, based on the Index, and with the same Monthly Payment Adjustment Terms as the Mortgage Loan being substituted for, mature no later than, and not more than two years earlier than, have a principal balance and Loan-to-Value Ratio equal to or less than, and have a Pass-Through Rate on the date of substitution equal to or no more than 1 percentage point greater than, and a Margin and Rate Ceiling equal to or greater than, the Mortgage Loan being substituted for. If the aggregate of the principal balances of the Substitute Mortgage Loans substituted for a Mortgage Loan is less than the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, the Company shall pay the difference in cash, together with unpaid accrued interest, if any, on the difference between the aggregate of the principal balances of the Substitute Mortgage Loans and the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan during the calendar month in which the substitution occurs to the last day of such month at a rate equal to the applicable Pass-Through Rate, to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account, and such payment by the Company shall be treated in the same manner as proceeds of the repurchase by the Company of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.07. Furthermore, such Substitute Mortgage Loan shall otherwise have such characteristics so that the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 2.08 hereof would not have been incorrect had such Substitute Mortgage Loan originally been a Mortgage Loan, and the Company shall be deemed to have made such representations and warranties as to such Substitute Mortgage Loan. A Substitute Mortgage Loan may be substituted for a defective Mortgage Loan whether or not such defective Mortgage Loan is itself a Substitute Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be deemed to have the same Pass-Through Rate as the Mortgage Loan for which it was substituted.

The Purchase Price for each purchased or repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be deposited by the Company in the Certificate Account and, upon receipt by the Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall (or, if applicable, shall cause the Custodian to) release to the Company the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver (or, in the event that the Mortgage Files are held in the name of the Custodian, shall cause the Custodian to execute and deliver) on behalf of the Trust such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Company or its designee or assignee title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, if such Mortgage Loan is a MERS Loan and as a result of the repurchase thereof such Mortgage Loan shall cease to be serviced by a servicer that is a member of MERS or if the Company or its assignee shall so request, the Master Servicer shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form from MERS to the Company or its assignee and shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be removed from registration on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and procedures. The obligation of the Company to repurchase or substitute any Mortgage Loan as to which such a defect in a constituent document exists shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trust or the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests or the Class R-1 Residual Interest.

Section 2.08. Representations and Warranties of the Company Concerning the Mortgage Loans. With respect to the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans provided for in Section 2.04 herein, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Trust that as of the Cut-Off Date, unless otherwise indicated:

Such policy insures the originator of the Mortgage Loan, its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan subject to the exceptions set forth in such policy. Such policy is in full force and effect and inures to the benefit of the Trust upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no claims have been made under such policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage, including the Company, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of such policy;

Any breach of the representation set forth in clause (xxix) or (xxx) of this Section 2.08 shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loans or the interests of the Trust in the related Mortgage Loans. Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of breach, the Company shall repurchase, subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of “Purchase Price,” or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trust, unless it has cured such breach in all material respects. After the end of the three-month period beginning on the “start-up day,” any such substitution shall be made only if the Company provides to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trust and the Trustee reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that each Substitute Mortgage Loan will be a “qualified replacement mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4) of the Code. Such substitution shall be made in the manner and within the time limits set forth in Section 2.07. Any such repurchase by the Company shall be accomplished in the manner and at the Purchase Price, if applicable, but shall not be subject to the time limits, set forth in Section 2.07. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the Company to provide such substitution or to make such repurchase of any affected Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans or any property acquired in respect thereof as to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest.

Section 2.09. Acknowledgment of Transfer of Mortgage Pool Assets. The Trustee hereby acknowledges and accepts on behalf of the Trust the transfer and assignment to the Trust of the Mortgage Pool Assets, but without having made the review required to be made within 45 days pursuant to Section 2.07, and declares that as of the Closing Date it (or the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) holds and shall hold any documents constituting a part of the Mortgage Pool Assets, and the Mortgage Pool Assets, as Trustee in trust, upon the trust herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest. In connection therewith, as of the Closing Date, in exchange for the Mortgage Pool Assets, the Trust does hereby issue to the Company the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest.

Section 2.10. Conveyance of REMIC II Assets; Security Interest. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Trust, without recourse, all the Company’s right, title and interest in and to the REMIC II Assets. Pursuant to Section 3818 of the Statutory Trust Statute, the REMIC I Regular Interests shall not be cancelled and shall be held as treasury interests owned by the Trust. The Trustee acknowledges that the REMIC II Assets are held by it as Trustee of the Trust for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the REMIC II Assets to the Trust by the Company as provided in this Section 2.10 be, and be construed as, an absolute sale of the REMIC II Assets. It is, further, not the intention of the parties that such conveyance be deemed the grant of a security interest in the REMIC II Assets by the Company to the Trust to secure a debt or other obligation of the Company. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the REMIC II Assets are held to be the property of the Company, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the REMIC II Assets, then:

(a) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement;

(b) the conveyance provided for in this Section 2.10 shall be deemed to be a grant by the Company to the Trust of, and the Company hereby grants to the Trust, to secure all of the Company’s obligations hereunder, a security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to:

(I) The REMIC I Regular Interests, including without limitation all rights represented thereby in and to the Mortgage Pool Assets and the proceeds thereof;

(III) All proceeds of the foregoing.

The Company shall file such financing statements, and the Company and the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust at the direction of the Company shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such other actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were found to create a security interest in the REMIC II Assets, such security interest would be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. In connection herewith, the Trust shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.

In the event that a pleading is filed in a court of competent jurisdiction asserting that this Agreement creates a security interest in the REMIC II Assets, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall take actual possession of the REMIC II Assets or, at the Company's option, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be provided an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trust and the Trustee reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that such security interest is a perfected security interest of first priority while the REMIC II Assets are in the possession of the Company or its affiliates.

Section 2.11. REMIC Election for REMIC II.

The Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of REMIC II, elect to treat REMIC II as a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state laws. Such election shall be included in the Form 1066 and any appropriate state return to be filed on behalf of REMIC II for its first taxable year.

The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” of REMIC II within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

The regular interests (as set forth in the table contained in the Preliminary Statement hereto) relating to REMIC II are hereby designated as “regular interests” in REMIC II for purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. The Class R-2 Residual Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of “residual interest” in REMIC II for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code. The REMIC II Regular Interests and the Class R-2 Residual Interest shall together be deemed to be a separate series of beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust consisting of the REMIC II Assets pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of the Statutory Trust Statute.

The parties intend that the affairs of REMIC II shall constitute, and that the affairs of REMIC II shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a REMIC. In furtherance of such intention, the Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of REMIC II: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, a federal tax return using a calendar year as the taxable year for REMIC II when and as required by the REMIC provisions and other applicable federal income tax laws; (b) make an election, on behalf of REMIC II, to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of REMIC II for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC provisions; (c) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders and the Holders of the Class R-2 Residual Interest all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC provisions (which information reports, in the case of each Class of Class A Certificates, shall reflect the respective amounts of interest that are to be treated as having been (i) received by such Class from REMIC II and (ii) received by such Class from the Class X Certificates outside of REMIC II pursuant to Section 2.16, and which information reports, in the case of the Class X Certificates, shall reflect the respective amounts of interest that are to be treated as having been (i) received by such Class from REMIC II and (ii) paid by such Class to the Class A Certificates outside of REMIC II pursuant to Section 2.16); (d) conduct the affairs of REMIC II at all times that any of the Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status of REMIC II as a REMIC under the REMIC provisions; (e) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of REMIC II; and (f) pay the amount of any federal prohibited transaction penalty taxes imposed on REMIC II when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Company or any other appropriate person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Company from withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); provided, that the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified from REMIC II for any such prohibited transaction penalty taxes if the Company’s failure to exercise reasonable care was not the primary cause of the imposition of such prohibited transaction penalty taxes.

In the event that any tax is imposed on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC II as defined in Section 860F of the Code and not paid by the Company pursuant to clause (f) of the preceding paragraph, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R-2 Residual Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company is hereby authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R-2 Residual Interest on any Distribution Date sufficient funds to reimburse the Company for the payment of such tax (to the extent that the Company has not been previously reimbursed therefor).

Section 2.12. Acknowledgement of Transfer of REMIC II Assets; Authentication of Certificates. The Trustee hereby acknowledges and accepts on behalf of the Trust the assignment to the Trust of the REMIC II Assets and declares that as of the Closing Date it holds and shall hold any documents constituting a part of the REMIC II Assets, and the REMIC II Assets, as Trustee in trust, upon the trust herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class R and Class Y Certificates) and the Class R-2 Residual Interest. In connection therewith, as of the Closing Date, in exchange for the REMIC II Assets, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall cause to be authenticated and delivered, upon and pursuant to the order of the Company, the Certificates in Authorized Denominations.

Section 2.13. Legal Title. Legal title to all assets of the Trust shall be vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity.

Section 2.14. Compliance with ERISA Requirements. For purposes of ensuring compliance with the requirements of the “underwriter’s exemption” (U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2002-41, 67 Fed. Reg. 54487 (Aug. 22, 2002), as amended), issued under ERISA, and for the avoidance of any doubt as to the applicability of other provisions of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and except as contemplated by this Agreement, (1) the Trust shall not be a party to any merger, consolidation or reorganization, or liquidate or sell its assets and (2) so long as any Certificates are outstanding, none of the Company, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall institute against the Trust, or join in any institution against the Trust of, any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

Section 2.15. Additional Representation of the Company Concerning the Mortgage Loans. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Trust that it does not intend for the Mortgage Pool to include any Mortgage Loan that is a “high-cost home loan” as defined under the New Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of 2002 or the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act. Based on the foregoing representation and warranty and on the Company’s obligation, pursuant to Section 2.08, to repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan in the event of a breach of the representation set forth in clause (xxix) of Section 2.08, the other parties hereto agree and understand that it is not intended for the Mortgage Pool to include any Mortgage Loan that is a “high-cost home loan” as defined under the New Jersey Home Ownership Security Act of 2002 or the New Mexico Home Loan Protection Act.

Section 2.16. Distributions to Class A Certificates Outside of REMIC II. For tax purposes, for any Distribution Date for which a distribution of a Carryover Shortfall Payment has been made to any Class of Class A Certificates pursuant to the second sentence of Section 4.04(a), such Class shall be treated as (i) having received the portion of the REMIC II Available Distribution Amount distributed to the Corresponding Class of REMIC II Regular Interests for such Distribution Date and (ii) having received from the Class X Certificates, outside of REMIC II, the Carryover Shortfall Payment for such Class. For tax purposes, for any such Distribution Date, the Class X Certificates shall be treated as (i) having received the portion of the REMIC II Available Distribution Amount distributed to the Class X-L Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and (ii) having paid to each such Class of Class A Certificates, outside of REMIC II, the Carryover Shortfall Payment for such Class.

ARTICLE III

Administration and Servicing of Mortgage Loans

Section 3.01. The Company to Act as Master Servicer. The Company shall act as Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the terms hereof, consistent with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices and (unless inconsistent with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices) in the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which, it services and administers similar mortgage loans for other portfolios, and shall have full power and authority to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which a prudent servicer of mortgage loans would do under similar circumstances, including, without limitation, the power and authority to bring actions and defend the Mortgage Pool Assets on behalf of the Trust in order to enforce the terms of the Mortgage Notes. The Master Servicer may perform its master servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer shall diligently pursue all of its rights against such agents or independent contractors.

The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect or cause to be collected all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any Primary Insurance Policy, any FHA insurance policy or VA guaranty, any hazard insurance policy, and federal flood insurance, cause to be followed such collection procedures as are followed with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held in portfolios of responsible mortgage lenders in the local areas where each Mortgaged Property is located. The Master Servicer shall enforce “due-on-sale” clauses with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, to the extent permitted by law, subject to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08.

Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, (i) waive or cause to be waived any assumption fee or late payment charge in connection with the prepayment of any Mortgage Loan and (ii) only upon determining that the coverage of any applicable insurance policy or guaranty related to a Mortgage Loan will not be materially adversely affected, arrange a schedule, running for no more than 180 days after the first delinquent Due Date, for payment of any delinquent installment on any Mortgage Note or for the liquidation of delinquent items. Subject to the fourth sentence of this paragraph, the Master Servicer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase any Mortgage Loan delinquent 90 consecutive days or more for an amount equal to its Purchase Price; provided, however, that the aggregate Purchase Price of Mortgage Loans so purchased pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the aggregate Principal Balance, as of the Cut-Off Date, of all Mortgage Loans. Subject to the fourth sentence of this paragraph, the Master Servicer shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, for an amount equal to its Purchase Price, any Mortgage Loan delinquent 90 consecutive days or more, for the purpose of requiring the Person who sold such Mortgage Loan to the Company to repurchase such Mortgage Loan based on a breach of a representation or warranty made by such Person in connection with the Company’s purchase or acquisition of such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two sentences, the Master Servicer’s right to purchase any Mortgage Loan pursuant to either of such preceding sentences shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (x) if the date on which the Mortgage Loan first became 90-day delinquent (the “Initial Delinquency Date”) occurred during the first two calendar months of a calendar quarter, the Master Servicer may exercise the purchase right during the period commencing on the Initial Delinquency Date and ending on the last Master Servicer Business Day of such calendar quarter, (y) if the Initial Delinquency Date occurred during the third calendar month of a calendar quarter, the Master Servicer may exercise the purchase right during the period commencing on the first day of the immediately succeeding calendar quarter and ending on the last Master Servicer Business Day of such succeeding calendar quarter and (z) if the Master Servicer does not exercise the purchase right with respect to a Mortgage Loan during the period specified in clause (x) or (y), as applicable, such Mortgage Loan shall thereafter again become eligible for purchase pursuant to the preceding two sentences only after the Mortgage Loan ceases to be 90-day delinquent and thereafter becomes 90-day delinquent again. For purposes of this paragraph, a Mortgage Loan is considered delinquent for 90 consecutive days if a Monthly Payment is not received by the first day of the third month following the month during which such payment was due.

Consistent with the terms of this Section 3.01, the Master Servicer may waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected by such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence; provided, however, that (unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer such default is imminent) the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would (i) change the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment of any principal or interest, reduce the outstanding principal balance (except for actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) be inconsistent with the terms of any applicable Primary Insurance Policy, FHA insurance policy, VA guaranty, hazard insurance policy or federal flood insurance policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code (including any proposed, temporary or final regulations promulgated thereunder) (other than in connection with a proposed conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is treated as a Principal Prepayment or in a default situation) and cause any REMIC to fail to qualify as such under the Code. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the related Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon in favor of another Person, any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property or other similar matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby and that REMIC I and REMIC II would not fail to continue to qualify as REMICs under the Code as a result thereof and that no tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the startup day would be imposed on any REMIC as a result thereof.

The Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest, and the Trust or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge or modification, assignments of Mortgages and endorsements of Mortgage Notes in connection with refinancings (in jurisdictions where such assignments are the customary and usual standard of practice of mortgage lenders) and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer is hereby further authorized and empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest and the Trust, or any of them, such instruments of assignment or other comparable instruments as the Master Servicer shall, in its sole judgment, deem appropriate in order to register any Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System or to cause the removal of any Mortgage Loan from registration thereon. Any expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Master Servicer with no right of reimbursement; provided, however, that any such expenses incurred as a result of any termination by MERS of the MERS® System shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and furnish to the Master Servicer, at the Master Servicer’s direction, any powers of attorney and other documents prepared by the Master Servicer and determined by the Master Servicer to be necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out its supervisory, servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall obtain (to the extent generally commercially available) and maintain fidelity bond and errors and omissions coverage acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac with respect to their respective obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Selling and Servicing Contract, respectively. The Master Servicer or each Servicer, as applicable, shall establish escrow accounts for, or pay when due (by means of an advance), any tax liens in connection with the Mortgaged Properties that are not paid by the Mortgagors when due to the extent that any such payment would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance when made.

In connection with the servicing and administering of each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer and any affiliate of the Master Servicer (i) may perform services such as appraisals, default management and (in the case of affiliates only) brokerage services that are not customarily provided by servicers of mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation therefor and (ii) may, at its own discretion and on behalf of the Trust, obtain credit information in the form of a “credit score” from a credit repository.

Section 3.02. Custodial Accounts and Buydown Fund Accounts. The Master Servicer shall cause to be established and maintained by each Servicer under the Master Servicer’s supervision the Custodial Account for P&I, Buydown Fund Accounts (if any) and special Custodial Account for Reserves and shall deposit or cause to be deposited therein daily the following amounts received or advanced by the Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans:

(i) all scheduled payments of principal;

(ii) all scheduled payments of interest, net of the Servicing Fees due the applicable Servicers;

(iii) all Curtailments and Payoffs; and

(iv) all Insurance Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds, Excess Liquidation Proceeds and Subsequent Recoveries;

provided, however, that (x) proceeds received with respect to individual Mortgage Loans from any title, hazard, or FHA insurance policy, VA guaranty, Primary Insurance Policy or other insurance policy (other than any Special Primary Insurance Policy) covering such Mortgage Loans, if required for the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, may be deposited either in the Custodial Account for Reserves or the Custodial Account for P&I and (y) such proceeds (other than proceeds from any Special Primary Insurance Policy), if not required for the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, and if not released to the Mortgagor in accordance with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, shall be deposited in the Custodial Account for P&I, and shall be applied to the balances of the related Mortgage Loans as payments of interest and principal.

The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to make withdrawals from and to issue drafts against the Custodial Accounts for P&I and the Custodial Accounts for Reserves for the purposes required or permitted by this Agreement. Each Custodial Account for P&I and each Custodial Account for Reserves shall bear a designation clearly showing the respective interests of the applicable Servicer, as trustee, and of the Master Servicer, in substantially one of the following forms:

(a) With respect to the Custodial Account for P&I: (i) [Servicer’s Name], as agent, trustee and/or bailee of principal and interest custodial account for Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp., its successors and assigns, for various owners of interests in Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. mortgage-backed pools or (ii) [Servicer’s Name] in trust for Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp.;

(b) With respect to the Custodial Account for Reserves: (i) [Servicer’s Name], as agent, trustee and/or bailee of taxes and insurance custodial account for Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp., its successors and assigns for various mortgagors and/or various owners of interests in Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. mortgage-backed pools or (ii) [Servicer’s Name] in trust for Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. and various Mortgagors.

The Master Servicer hereby undertakes to assure remittance to the Certificate Account of all amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans that have been collected by any Servicer and are due to the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement.

Funds held in the Custodial Account for P&I and the Custodial Account for Reserves may, at the Master Servicer’s option, be invested in (i) one or more Eligible Investments which shall in no event mature later than the Business Day prior to the related Withdrawal Date (except if such Eligible Investments are obligations of the Trustee, such Eligible Investments may mature on the Withdrawal Date), or (ii) such other instruments as shall be required to maintain the Ratings.

Section 3.03. The Investment Account; Eligible Investments. (a) Not later than the Withdrawal Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw or direct the withdrawal of funds in the Custodial Accounts for P&I, for deposit in the Investment Account, in an amount representing:

(i) Scheduled installments of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans received or advanced by the applicable Servicers which were due on the related Due Date, net of the Servicing Fees due the applicable Servicers and less any amounts to be withdrawn later by the applicable Servicers from the applicable Buydown Fund Accounts;

(ii) Payoffs and the proceeds of other types of liquidations of the Mortgage Loans received by the applicable Servicer for such Mortgage Loans during the applicable Payoff Period, with interest to the date of Payoff or liquidation less any amounts to be withdrawn later by the applicable Servicers from the applicable Buydown Fund Accounts; and

(iii) Curtailments received by the applicable Servicers in the Prior Period.

At its option, the Master Servicer may invest funds withdrawn from the Custodial Accounts for P&I, as well as any Buydown Funds, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds previously received by the Master Servicer (including amounts paid by the Company in respect of any Purchase Obligation or its substitution obligations set forth in Section 2.07 or Section 2.08 or in connection with the exercise of the option to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01) for its own account and at its own risk, during any period prior to their deposit in the Certificate Account. Such funds, as well as any funds which were withdrawn from the Custodial Accounts for P&I on or before the Withdrawal Date, but not yet deposited into the Certificate Account, shall immediately be deposited by the Master Servicer with the Investment Depository in an Investment Account in the name of the Master Servicer and the Trust for investment only as set forth in this Section 3.03. The Master Servicer shall bear any and all losses incurred on any investments made with such funds and shall be entitled to retain all gains realized on such investments as additional servicing compensation. Not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deposit such funds, net of any gains (except Payoff Earnings) earned thereon, in the Certificate Account.

(b) Funds held in the Investment Account shall be invested in (i) one or more Eligible Investments which shall in no event mature later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date (except if such Eligible Investments are obligations of the Trustee, such Eligible Investments may mature on the Distribution Date), or (ii) such other instruments as shall be required to maintain the Ratings.

Section 3.04. The Certificate Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish the Certificate Account, which shall be entitled “Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. Certificate Account under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2004, among Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor and Master Servicer, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as the Trustee, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, as the Delaware Trustee, for the benefit of WaMu Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2004-AR13 Trust created pursuant thereto”. Promptly after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall communicate to the Master Servicer the account number and wiring instructions for the Certificate Account.

Not later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall direct the Investment Depository to deposit into the Certificate Account the amounts previously deposited into the Investment Account (which may include a deposit of Eligible Investments) to which the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest are entitled or which are necessary for payment of any Special Primary Insurance Premiums. In addition, not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the Certificate Account any Monthly P&I Advances or other payments required to be made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02 of this Agreement and any Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds (including amounts paid by the Company in respect of any Purchase Obligation) not previously deposited in the Custodial Accounts for P&I or the Investment Account, and any amounts paid by the Master Servicer in connection with the exercise of its option to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 or any other purchase of Mortgage Loans permitted by this Agreement.

(b) Funds held in the Certificate Account shall be invested at the written direction of the Master Servicer in (i) one or more Eligible Investments which shall in no event mature later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date (except if such Eligible Investments are obligations of the Trustee, such Eligible Investments may mature on the Distribution Date), or (ii) such other instruments as shall be required to maintain the Ratings. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive any gains earned on such Eligible Investments and shall bear any losses suffered in connection therewith. If the Trustee has not received such written investment directions from the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall not invest funds held in the Certificate Account. The Trustee shall have no liability for any losses on investments of funds held in the Certificate Account.

In the event the Trustee makes such investments, the parties acknowledge that the Trustee or its affiliates may receive additional compensation (not payable pursuant to this Agreement) that could be deemed to be in the Trustee's economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain of the Eligible Investments, (ii) using affiliates to effect transactions in certain Eligible Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain Eligible Investments.

Section 3.05. Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the Investment Account and Custodial Accounts for P&I and of Buydown Funds from the Buydown Fund Accounts.

(a) The Master Servicer is authorized to make withdrawals (or, in the case of the Certificate Account, to direct the Trustee to make withdrawals), from time to time, from the Investment Account, the Certificate Account or the Custodial Accounts for P&I established by the Servicers of amounts deposited therein in respect of the Certificates (and, to the extent applicable, to make deposits of the amounts withdrawn), as follows:

(i) To reimburse itself or the applicable Servicer for Monthly P&I Advances made pursuant to Section 4.02 or a Selling and Servicing Contract, such right to reimbursement pursuant to this paragraph (i) being limited to amounts received on particular Mortgage Loans (including, for this purpose, Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds) which represent late recoveries of principal and/or interest respecting which any such Monthly P&I Advance was made;

(ii) To reimburse itself or the applicable Servicer for amounts expended by or for the account of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.09 or amounts expended by such Servicer pursuant to the Selling and Servicing Contracts in connection with the restoration of property damaged by an Uninsured Cause or in connection with the liquidation of a Mortgage Loan;

(iii) To pay to itself, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicing Fee (net of Compensating Interest reduced by Payoff Earnings and Payoff Interest) as to which no prior withdrawals from funds deposited by the Master Servicer have been made;

(iv) To reimburse itself or the applicable Servicer for advances made with respect to related Mortgage Loans (except for Mortgage Loans purchased pursuant to a Purchase Obligation or pursuant to the second or third sentence of the third paragraph of Section 3.01) which the Master Servicer has determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances;

(v) To pay to itself reinvestment earnings deposited or earned in the Investment Account and the Certificate Account to which it is entitled and to reimburse itself for expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it pursuant to Section 6.03;

(vi) To deposit to the Investment Account amounts in the Certificate Account not required to be on deposit therein at the time of such withdrawal;

(vii) To deposit in the Certificate Account, not later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, the amounts in the Investment Account specified in Section 3.04(a);

(viii) To pay on behalf of the Trustee any Special Primary Insurance Premium payable by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.04(a); provided, the Master Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee prior to noon New York City time two Business Days prior to the applicable Distribution Date; and

after making or providing for the above withdrawals

(ix) To clear and terminate the Investment Account and the Certificate Account following termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.

Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii), the Master Servicer’s entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer shall keep and maintain, separate accounting for each Mortgage Loan, for the purpose of justifying any such withdrawals.

(b) The Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer, if such Servicer holds and maintains a Buydown Fund Account, is authorized to make withdrawals, from time to time, of Buydown Funds from the Buydown Fund Account or Custodial Account for P&I established by any Servicer under its supervision (and, to the extent applicable, to make deposits of the amounts withdrawn), as follows:

(i) To deposit each month in the Investment Account the amount necessary to supplement payments received on Buydown Loans;

(ii) In the event of a Payoff of any Mortgage Loan having a related Buydown Fund, to apply amounts remaining in Buydown Fund Accounts to reduce the required amount of such principal Payoff (or, if the Mortgagor has made a Payoff, to refund such remaining Buydown Fund amounts to the Person entitled thereto);

(iii) In the event of foreclosure or liquidation of any Mortgage Loan having a Buydown Fund, to deposit remaining Buydown Fund amounts in the Investment Account as Liquidation Proceeds; and

(iv) To clear and terminate the portion of any account representing Buydown Funds following termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01;

(c) The Trustee is authorized to make withdrawals from time to time from the Certificate Account to reimburse itself for advances it has made as successor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(a) hereof that it has determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances.

(d) Each Servicer is authorized to make withdrawals, from time to time, from the related Custodial Account for P&I, (i) to pay to itself, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, the Servicing Fee and (ii) to reimburse itself for expenses to the same extent that the Master Servicer is authorized to make withdrawals to reimburse the Servicer for expenses pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) of Section 3.05(a), in the case of each of clause (d)(i) and (d)(ii), to the extent no prior withdrawals of such amounts have been made by the Servicer or the Master Servicer.

Section 3.06. Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies; Collections Thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep, or to cause the Servicers to keep, in full force and effect each Primary Insurance Policy (except any Special Primary Insurance Policy) required with respect to a Mortgage Loan until no longer required, and the Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep in full force and effect each Special Primary Insurance Policy, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to maintain any Primary Insurance Policy for a Mortgage Loan for which the outstanding Principal Balance thereof at any time subsequent to origination was 80% or less of the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property, unless required by applicable law.

Unless required by applicable law, the Master Servicer shall not cancel or refuse to renew, or allow any Servicer under its supervision to cancel or refuse to renew, any Primary Insurance Policy in effect at the date of the initial issuance of the Certificates that is required to be kept in force hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor any Servicer shall advance funds for the payment of any premium due under (i) any Primary Insurance Policy (other than a Special Primary Insurance Policy) if it shall determine that such an advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) any Special Primary Insurance Policy.

Section 3.07. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan) fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is not less than the original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, except in cases approved by the Master Servicer in which such amount exceeds the value of the improvements to the Mortgaged Property. The Master Servicer shall also require fire insurance with extended coverage in a comparable amount on property acquired upon foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan). Any amounts collected under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property) shall be deposited into the Custodial Account for P&I, subject to withdrawal pursuant to the applicable Selling and Servicing Contract and pursuant to Section 3.03 and Section 3.05. Any unreimbursed costs incurred in maintaining any insurance described in this Section 3.07 shall be recoverable as an advance by the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer from the related Custodial Account for P&I, the Investment Account or the Certificate Account. Such insurance shall be with insurers approved by the Master Servicer and Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac. Other additional insurance may be required of a Mortgagor, in addition to that required pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. Where any part of any improvement to the Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property secured by a Cooperative Loan) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area and in a community which participates in the National Flood Insurance Program at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be provided. The hazard insurance coverage required by this Section 3.07 may be met with blanket policies providing protection equivalent to individual policies otherwise required. The Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer shall be responsible for paying any deductible amount on any such blanket policy. The Master Servicer agrees to present, or cause to be presented, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trust, claims under the hazard insurance policy respecting any Mortgage Loan, and in this regard to take such reasonable actions as shall be necessary to permit recovery under such policy.

Section 3.08. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. When any Mortgaged Property is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such prospective conveyance and prior to the time of the consummation of such conveyance, exercise on behalf of the Trust the Trust’s rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage Loan, to the extent that such acceleration is permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Note, under any “due-on-sale” clause applicable thereto; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such right if the due-on-sale clause, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer, is not enforceable under applicable law or if such exercise would result in non-coverage of any resulting loss that would otherwise be covered under any insurance policy. In the event the Master Servicer is prohibited from exercising such right, the Master Servicer is authorized to take or enter into an assumption and modification agreement from or with the Person to whom a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by applicable state law or unless the Mortgage Note contains a provision allowing a qualified borrower to assume the Mortgage Note, the Mortgagor remains liable thereon; provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so covered before the Master Servicer enters such agreement) by any related Primary Insurance Policy. The Master Servicer is also authorized to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. The Master Servicer shall not enter into any substitution or assumption with respect to a Mortgage Loan if such substitution or assumption shall (i) both constitute a “significant modification” effecting an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and cause the REMICs to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause the imposition of any tax on “prohibited transactions” or “contributions” after the startup day under the REMIC Provisions. The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original copy of such substitution or assumption agreement and other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. In connection with any such assumption or substitution agreement, the terms of the related Mortgage Note shall not be changed. Any fee collected by the applicable Servicer for entering into an assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall be retained by such Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or otherwise in violation of any of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

Section 3.09. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert, or cause to be foreclosed upon or comparably converted, the ownership of any Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan which comes into and continues in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.01. In lieu of such foreclosure or other conversion, and taking into consideration the desirability of maximizing net Liquidation Proceeds after taking into account the effect of Insurance Proceeds upon Liquidation Proceeds, the Master Servicer may, to the extent consistent with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, accept a payment of less than the outstanding Principal Balance of a delinquent Mortgage Loan in full satisfaction of the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note and release the lien of the related Mortgage upon receipt of such payment. The Master Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert a Mortgaged Property if the Master Servicer is aware of evidence of toxic waste, other hazardous substances or other evidence of environmental contamination thereon and the Master Servicer determines that it would be imprudent to do so. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer shall cause to be followed such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in general mortgage servicing activities. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in the case of damage to a Mortgaged Property from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be required to advance its own funds towards the restoration of the property unless it shall be determined in the sole judgment of the Master Servicer, (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of the Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through Liquidation Proceeds. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof (as well as its normal servicing compensation) as an advance. The Master Servicer shall maintain information required for tax reporting purposes regarding any Mortgaged Property which is abandoned or which has been foreclosed or otherwise comparably converted. The Master Servicer shall report such information to the Internal Revenue Service and the Mortgagor in the manner required by applicable law.

The Master Servicer may enter into one or more special servicing agreements with a Lowest Class B Owner, subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgment that the Ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering into of such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the Certificates would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain provisions whereby such Lowest Class B Owner may (a) instruct the Master Servicer to instruct a Servicer to the extent permitted under the applicable Selling and Servicing Contract to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to related delinquent Mortgage Loans, provided that the Lowest Class B Owner deposits a specified amount of cash with the Master Servicer that will be available for distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are less than they otherwise may have been had the Servicer acted pursuant to its normal servicing procedures, (b) purchase such delinquent Mortgage Loans from the Trust immediately prior to the commencement of foreclosure proceedings at a price equal to the aggregate outstanding Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans plus accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate through the last day of the month in which such Mortgage Loans are purchased and/or (c) assume all of the servicing rights and obligations with respect to such delinquent Mortgage Loans so long as (i) the Master Servicer has the right to transfer the servicing rights and obligations of such Mortgage Loans to another servicer and (ii) such Lowest Class B Owner will service such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the applicable Selling and Servicing Contract.

REMIC I shall not acquire any real property (or personal property incident to such real property) except in connection with a default or imminent default of a Mortgage Loan. In the event that REMIC I acquires any real property (or personal property incident to such real property) in connection with a default or imminent default of a Mortgage Loan, such property shall be disposed of by the Master Servicer as soon as practicable in a manner that, consistent with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, maximizes the net present value of the recovery to the Trust, but in any event within three years after its acquisition by the Master Servicer for REMIC I unless the Master Servicer provides to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by REMIC I of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to three years after its acquisition will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC I as defined in Section 860F of the Code or under the law of any state in which real property securing a Mortgage Loan owned by REMIC I is located or cause REMIC I to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or for state tax purposes under the laws of any state in which real property securing a Mortgage Loan owned by REMIC I is located at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer shall conserve, protect and operate each such property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the REMIC of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any “net income from foreclosure property” which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Master Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the locality where such property is located and may, incident to its conservation and protection of the assets of the Trust, rent the same, or any part thereof, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Master Servicer and the Trust for the period prior to the sale of such property. Additionally, the Master Servicer shall perform the tax withholding and shall file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage interests received in a trade or business, the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and the information returns relating to cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P, respectively, of the Code, and deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate on or before March 31 of each year stating that such reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Master Servicer or the Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for any such withholding. Without limiting the foregoing, the Master Servicer agrees that it will not withhold with respect to payments of interest or original issue discount in the case of a Certificateholder that has furnished or caused to be furnished an effective Form W-8 or an acceptable substitute form or a successor form and who is not a “10 percent shareholder” within the meaning of Code Section 871(h)(3)(B) or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Code Section 881(c)(3)(C) with respect to REMIC I, REMIC II or the depositor. In the event the Trustee withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder.

Section 3.10. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the Payoff or scheduled maturity of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cause such final payment to be immediately deposited in the related Custodial Account for P&I or the Investment Account. The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee thereof by a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in either such account have been so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File; provided, however, that such certification shall not be required if the Mortgage File is held by a Custodian which is also the Servicer of the Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee shall, not later than the fifth succeeding Business Day, release, or cause to be released, the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer indicated in such request. With any such Payoff or other final payment, the Master Servicer is authorized (i) to prepare for and procure from the trustee or mortgagee under the Mortgage which secured the Mortgage Note a deed of full reconveyance or other form of satisfaction or assignment of Mortgage and endorsement of Mortgage Note in connection with a refinancing covering the Mortgaged Property, which satisfaction, endorsed Mortgage Note or assigning document shall be delivered by the Master Servicer to the person or persons entitled thereto, and (ii) with respect to any MERS Loan, to cause the removal of such Mortgage Loan from registration on the MERS® System. No expenses incurred in connection with such satisfaction or assignment shall be payable to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or from the Certificate Account, the related Investment Account or the related Custodial Account for P&I. From time to time as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the Trustee shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to it of a trust receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release not later than the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt of such request and trust receipt the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the related Servicer as indicated by the Master Servicer and shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need therefor by 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 herein above specified, the trust receipt shall be released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer.

Section 3.11. Compensation to the Master Servicer and the Servicers. As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive from the Investment Account and the Certificate Account the amounts provided for by Section 3.05(a)(iii). The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor, except as specifically provided herein.

As compensation for its activities under the applicable Selling and Servicing Contract, the applicable Servicer shall be entitled to withhold or withdraw from the related Custodial Account for P&I the amounts provided for in such Selling and Servicing Contract to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement (including Section 3.05(d)). Each Servicer is required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under its Selling and Servicing Contract (including payment of premiums for Primary Insurance Policies, other than Special Primary Insurance Policies, if required) and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided in such Selling and Servicing Contract and not inconsistent with this Agreement.

Section 3.12. Reports to the Trustee; Certificate Account Statement. Not later than 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall forward a statement, certified by a Servicing Officer, to the Trustee setting forth the status of the Certificate Account as of the close of business on such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the aggregate of deposits into and withdrawals from the Certificate Account for each category of deposit specified in Section 3.04 and each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.05, and stating that all distributions required by this Agreement have been made (or if any required distribution has not been made, specifying the nature and amount thereof). The Trustee shall make available such statements to any Certificateholder upon request at the expense of the Master Servicer. Such statement shall also, to the extent available, include information regarding delinquencies on the Mortgage Loans, indicating the number and aggregate Principal Balance of Mortgage Loans which are one, two, three or more months delinquent, the number and aggregate Principal Balance of Mortgage Loans with respect to which foreclosure proceedings have been initiated and the book value of any Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other exercise of the Trust’s security interest in the Mortgaged Property.

Section 3.13. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, on or before April 30 of each year, beginning with the first April 30 succeeding the Cut-Off Date by at least six months, an Officer’s Certificate stating as to the signer thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer’s supervision, and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Master Servicer to Certificateholders upon request or by the Trustee (solely to the extent that such copies are available to the Trustee) at the expense of the Master Servicer, should the Master Servicer fail to so provide such copies.

Section 3.14. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the Mortgage Loans. In the event that the Certificates are legal for investment by federally-insured savings associations, the Master Servicer shall provide to the OTS, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of the OTS and the FDIC access to the documentation regarding the related Mortgage Loans required by applicable regulations of the OTS or the FDIC, as applicable, and shall in any event provide such access to the documentation regarding such Mortgage Loans to the Trustee and its representatives, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it.

Section 3.15. Annual Independent Public Accountants’ Servicing Report. On or before April 30 of each year, beginning with the first April 30 succeeding the Cut-Off Date by at least six months, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall furnish to the Trustee a copy of a report delivered to the Master Servicer by a firm of independent public accountants (who may also render other services to the Master Servicer or any affiliate thereof) to the effect that, on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Master Servicer has complied with certain minimum residential mortgage loan servicing standards in its role as Master Servicer with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage loans (including the Mortgage Loans) during the most recently completed fiscal year. In rendering its report such firm may rely, (a) as to matters relating to the Certificates, upon a statistical sampling of series of mortgage-backed certificates which may include the Certificates and (b) as to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage loans by subservicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those subservicers.

Section 3.16. Yield Maintenance Account. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall cause to be established and maintained the Yield Maintenance Account, into which amounts distributed pursuant to the Yield Maintenance Agreement shall be deposited for the benefit of the Class A and Class Y Certificates. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Yield Maintenance Account the amounts on deposit therein, and deposit such amounts in the Certificate Account for payment to the Class A and Class Y Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(a).

Amounts on deposit in the Yield Maintenance Account shall not be invested and shall not be held in an interest-bearing account.

To the extent that it constitutes a “reserve fund” for purposes of the REMIC Provisions, the Yield Maintenance Account established hereunder shall be an “outside reserve fund” as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.860G-2(h), and in that regard (i) such fund shall be an outside reserve fund and not an asset of any REMIC, (ii) such fund shall be owned for federal tax purposes by the Holder of the Class Y Certificates, and the Holder of the Class Y Certificates shall report all amounts of income, deduction, gain or loss accruing therefrom, and (iii) amounts transferred by the REMIC to the fund shall be treated as distributed by the REMIC to the Holder of the Class Y Certificates.

Section 3.17. [Reserved.]

Section 3.18. [Reserved.]

Section 3.19. [Reserved.]

Section 3.20. Assumption or Termination of Selling and Servicing Contracts by Trustee. In the event the Master Servicer, or any successor Master Servicer, shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of an Event of Default), the Trustee as trustee hereunder or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under the Selling and Servicing Contracts with respect to the related Mortgage Loans unless the Trustee elects to terminate the Selling and Servicing Contracts with respect to such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof. The Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein with respect to the related Mortgage Loans and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to the Selling and Servicing Contracts to the same extent as if the rights and duties under the Selling and Servicing Contracts relating to such Mortgage Loans had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Selling and Servicing Contracts with respect to the Master Servicer’s duties to be performed prior to its termination hereunder.

The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to the Selling and Servicing Contracts and the Mortgage Loans then being master serviced by the Master Servicer and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Master Servicer and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the rights and duties under the related Selling and Servicing Contracts relating to such Mortgage Loans to the assuming party.

ARTICLE IV

Payments to Certificateholders; Payment of Expenses

Section 4.01. Distributions to Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests and Class R-1 Residual Interest. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee (or any duly appointed paying agent) (i) shall be deemed to have distributed from the Certificate Account the REMIC I Distribution Amount to the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests, and to have deposited such amount for their benefit into the Certificate Account and (ii) from the Certificate Account shall distribute to the Class R Certificateholders, in accordance with the written statement received from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(b), the sum of (a) the Excess Liquidation Proceeds and (b) the amounts to be distributed to the Holders of the Class R-1 Residual Interest pursuant to the definition of “REMIC I Distribution Amount” for such Distribution Date. Amounts distributed pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be distributed by wire transfer in immediately available funds for the account of each Class R Certificateholder, or by any other means of payment acceptable to each Class R Certificateholder of record on the immediately preceding Record Date (other than as provided in Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution), as specified by each such Certificateholder and at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no actual distributions pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 4.01 shall be made on account of the deemed distributions described in this paragraph except in the event of a liquidation of REMIC II and not REMIC I.

Section 4.02. Advances by the Master Servicer; Distribution Reports to the Trustee.

(a) To the extent described below, the Master Servicer is obligated to advance its own funds to the Certificate Account to cover any shortfall between (i) Minimum Monthly Payments scheduled to be received in respect of Mortgage Loans and (ii) the amounts actually deposited in the Certificate Account on account of such payments (including amounts advanced by a Servicer pursuant to a Selling and Servicing Contract). The Master Servicer’s obligation to make any advance or advances described in this Section 4.02 is effective only to the extent that such advance is, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer made on or before the second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, reimbursable from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loans or recoverable as late Monthly Payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise.

Prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether or not it will make a Monthly P&I Advance on the Business Day prior to such Distribution Date (in the event that the applicable Servicer fails to make such advances) and shall furnish a written statement to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, if any, and to any Certificateholder requesting the same, setting forth the aggregate amount to be advanced on account of principal and interest in respect of the Mortgage Loans, stated separately.

In the event that the Master Servicer shall be required to make a Monthly P&I Advance, it shall on the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such Monthly P&I Advance, (ii) make an appropriate entry in the records of the Certificate Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 4.02, used by the Master Servicer to make such Monthly P&I Advance or (iii) make advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Monthly P&I Advance. Any funds being held for future distribution to Certificateholders and so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day immediately preceding any future Distribution Date to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on such Distribution Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be less than payments to Certificateholders required to be made on such date with respect to the Mortgage Loans. Under each Selling and Servicing Contract, the Master Servicer is entitled to receive from the Custodial Accounts for P&I established by the Servicers amounts received by the applicable Servicers on particular Mortgage Loans as late payments of principal and interest or as Liquidation or Insurance Proceeds and respecting which the Master Servicer has made an unreimbursed advance of principal and interest. The Master Servicer is also entitled to receive other amounts from the related Custodial Accounts for P&I established by the Servicers to reimburse itself for prior Nonrecoverable Advances respecting Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicers. The Master Servicer shall deposit these amounts in the Investment Account prior to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05.

In accordance with Section 3.05, Monthly P&I Advances are reimbursable to the Master Servicer from cash in the Investment Account or the Certificate Account to the extent that the Master Servicer shall determine that any such advances previously made are Nonrecoverable Advances pursuant to Section 4.03.

(b) Prior to noon New York City time two Business Days prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall provide (x) the Trustee and (y) the Company (if the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer) with a statement in writing of (1) the amount, as applicable, of (i) interest, (ii) the interest portion, if any, of Realized Losses, (iii) Uncompensated Interest Shortfall, (iv) scheduled principal, (v) Net Negative Amortization Amounts, (vi) Principal Prepayments, (vii) Liquidation Principal, (viii) Subsequent Recoveries, (ix) the principal portion of Realized Losses (after giving effect to any reduction thereof by application of any Cumulative Carry-Forward Subsequent Recoveries Amount), (x) the Residual Distribution Amount and (xi) the Excess Liquidation Proceeds to be distributed or allocated, as applicable, to each Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such amounts to be determined in accordance with the definitions of “REMIC I Distribution Amount” and “REMIC II Distribution Amount,” Section 4.01 and Section 4.04 hereof and other related definitions set forth in Article I hereof); (2) the applicable Class Principal Balance after giving effect to such distributions and allocations; (3) the Cumulative Carry-Forward Subsequent Recoveries Amount for such Distribution Date; (4) the amount of any Special Primary Insurance Premium payable on such Distribution Date; (5) for each Class of the Class A Certificates, any portion of the Carryover Shortfall Amount for such Class remaining after distributions on such Distribution Date; and (6) the Yield Maintenance Payments for the Class A and Class Y Certificates for such Distribution Date.

Section 4.03. Nonrecoverable Advances. Any advance previously made by a Servicer pursuant to its Selling and Servicing Contract with respect to a Mortgage Loan or by the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer shall determine in its good faith judgment not to be ultimately recoverable from Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise with respect to such Mortgage Loan or recoverable as late Monthly Payments with respect to such Mortgage Loan shall be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Master Servicer that it or the applicable Servicer has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee on the Determination Date and detailing the reasons for such determination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, or any other agreement relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Company or the Master Servicer is a party, (a) the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any advance that, after reasonable inquiry and in its sole discretion, the Master Servicer or such Servicer shall determine would be a Nonrecoverable Advance and (b) the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any advance as provided in Section 3.05(a)(i), (ii) and (iv) and Section 3.05(d) of this Agreement.

Section 4.04. Distributions to Certificateholders; Payment of Special Primary Insurance Premiums.

(a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee (or any duly appointed paying agent) shall (i) subject to Section 3.05(a)(viii), withdraw from the Certificate Account any Special Primary Insurance Premium payable on such Distribution Date and pay such amount to the insurer under the applicable Special Primary Insurance Policy and (ii) withdraw from the Certificate Account the REMIC II Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and distribute, from the amount so withdrawn, to the extent of the REMIC II Available Distribution Amount, the REMIC II Distribution Amount to the Holders of the REMIC II Regular Interests and the Class R-2 Residual Interest.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, on each Distribution Date, the Trustee (or any duly appointed paying agent) shall, from the amount otherwise distributable to the Class X-L Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, distribute, to the extent thereof, to the Holders of each Class of Class A Certificates, the Carryover Shortfall Payment, if any, for each such Class. Each Holder of a Class X Certificate is deemed to have accepted the terms for payment of the Carryover Shortfall Payments to the Holders of the Class A Certificates pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and the provisions of Section 2.16. Each Holder of a Class A or Class X Certificate is deemed, by acceptance of such Certificate, to have accepted the provisions of Section 2.16.

Furthermore, on each Distribution Date from and including January 2005 to and including July 2013, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Certificate Account and distribute to the Holders of the Class A and Class Y Certificates, the applicable Yield Maintenance Payment.

The net distributions to the Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.04(a) shall be made in accordance with the written statement received from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(b). Any Special Primary Insurance Premiums distributed pursuant to clause (i) above shall be distributed by any method specified in the respective Special Primary Insurance Policy as directed by the related insurer to the Master Servicer. Amounts distributed to the Certificateholders pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be distributed by wire transfer in immediately available funds for the account of, or by check mailed to, each such Certificateholder of record on the immediately preceding Record Date (other than as provided in Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution), as specified by each such Certificateholder and at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.

(a) The Certificates shall be substantially in the forms set forth in Exhibit A and B with the additional insertion from Exhibit H attached hereto, and shall be executed by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, authenticated by the Trustee (or any duly appointed Authenticating Agent) and delivered (i) upon and pursuant to the order of the Company and (ii) upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents specified in Section 2.01.

Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at the time of execution the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trust, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.

(b) The following definitions apply for purposes of this Section 5.01: “Disqualified Organization” means any Person which is not a Permitted Transferee, but does not include any “Pass-Through Entity” which owns or holds a Residual Certificate and of which a Disqualified Organization, directly or indirectly, may be a stockholder, partner or beneficiary; “Pass-Through Entity” means any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust or estate and any organization to which Section 1381 of the Code applies; “Ownership Interest” means, with respect to any Residual Certificate, any ownership or security interest in such Residual Certificate, including any interest in a Residual Certificate as the Holder thereof and any other interest therein whether direct or indirect, legal or beneficial, as owner or as pledgee; “Transfer” means any direct or indirect transfer or sale of, or directly or indirectly transferring or selling any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate; and “Transferee” means any Person who is acquiring by Transfer any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate.

(c) Restrictions on Transfers of the Residual Certificates to Disqualified Organizations are set forth in this Section 5.01(c).

(i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its designee under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to a U.S. Person, the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of (1) an affidavit and agreement (a “Transferee Affidavit and Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit J from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, representing and warranting, among other things, that it is not a Non-U.S. Person, that such transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 5.01(c) and agrees to be bound by them, and (2) a certificate, attached hereto as Exhibit I, from the Holder wishing to transfer the Residual Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, representing and warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the proposed Transfer is to allow such Holder to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if the Trustee has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.

(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate agrees by holding or acquiring such Ownership Interest (i) to require a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest and to provide a certificate to the Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J; (ii) to obtain the express written consent of the Company prior to any transfer of such Ownership Interest, which consent may be withheld in the Company’s sole discretion; and (iii) to provide a certificate to the Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I.

(ii) The Trustee shall register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate only if it shall have received the Transferee Affidavit and Agreement, a certificate of the Holder requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition to such registration.

(iii) (A) If any “disqualified organization” (as defined in Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code) shall become a holder of a Residual Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. If any Non-U.S. Person shall become a holder of a Residual Certificate, then the last preceding holder which is a U.S. Person shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of the Transfer to such Non-U.S. Person of such Residual Certificate. If a transfer of a Residual Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. Neither the Trust nor the Trustee shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.01(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such holder under the provisions of this Agreement.

(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.01(c) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Company shall have the right, without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Company on such terms as the Company may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Company. Such purchaser may be the Company itself or any affiliate of the Company. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Company or its affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by the Company to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Company, and the Company shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.

(iv) The Company, on behalf of the Trustee, shall make available, upon written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, including the information regarding “excess inclusions” of such Residual Certificates required to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.860D-1(b)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organizations described in Section 1381 of the Code having as among its record holders at any time any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee. Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be required by the Company from such Person.

(v) The provisions of this Section 5.01 set forth prior to this Section (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated by the Company and the Trustee, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee the following:

(A) written notification from each of the Rating Agencies to the effect that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current Ratings of the Certificates; and

(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company (as evidenced by a certificate of the Company), to the effect that such modification, addition to or absence of such provisions will not cause REMIC I and REMIC II to cease to qualify as a REMIC and will not create a risk that (1) REMIC I and REMIC II may be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee or (2) a Certificateholder or another Person will be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee.

(vi) The following legend shall appear on all Residual Certificates:

ANY RESALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE ONLY IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE PROVIDES A TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT TO THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE THAT (1) SUCH TRANSFEREE IS NOT EITHER (A) THE UNITED STATES, ANY STATE OR POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, ANY FOREIGN GOVERNMENT, ANY INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION, OR ANY AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, (B) ANY ORGANIZATION (OTHER THAN A COOPERATIVE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 521 OF THE CODE) WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM THE TAX IMPOSED BY CHAPTER 1 OF THE CODE UNLESS SUCH ORGANIZATION IS SUBJECT TO THE TAX IMPOSED BY SECTION 511 OF THE CODE, (C) ANY ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1381(a)(2)(C) OF THE CODE (ANY SUCH PERSON DESCRIBED IN THE FOREGOING CLAUSES (A), (B), OR (C) BEING HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS A “DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION”), OR (D) AN AGENT OF A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION AND (2) NO PURPOSE OF SUCH TRANSFER IS TO ENABLE THE TRANSFEROR TO IMPEDE THE ASSESSMENT OR COLLECTION OF TAX. SUCH AFFIDAVIT SHALL INCLUDE CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE. NOTWITHSTANDING THE REGISTRATION IN THE CERTIFICATE REGISTER OF ANY TRANSFER, SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS CLASS R CERTIFICATE TO A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION OR AN AGENT 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 HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE RECEIPT OF DISTRIBUTIONS ON THIS CERTIFICATE. EACH HOLDER OF THE CLASS R CERTIFICATE BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.

(vii) The Tax Matters Person for each of REMIC I and REMIC II, while not a Disqualified Organization, shall be the tax matters person for the related REMIC within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-4(d).

(d) In the case of any Junior Subordinate Certificate presented for registration in the name of any Person, the Trustee shall require (i) an officer’s certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N attached hereto acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, which officer’s certificate shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Company and (ii) only if such officer’s certificate indicates that a Benefit Plan Opinion is delivered in connection therewith, a Benefit Plan Opinion.

In the case of any Residual Certificate presented for registration in the name of any Person, the Trustee shall require (i) a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement which includes the representation set forth in paragraph 19 of the form attached hereto as Exhibit J and (ii) only if the representation set forth in such paragraph 19 indicates that a Benefit Plan Opinion is delivered in connection therewith, a Benefit Plan Opinion.

In the case of any Class Y Certificate presented for registration in the name of any Person, the Trustee shall require (i) an officer’s certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit P attached hereto acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, which officer’s certificate shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Company, and (ii) only if such officer’s certificate indicates that a Benefit Plan Opinion is delivered in connection therewith, a Benefit Plan Opinion.

(e) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Junior Subordinate Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition is made in accordance with this Section 5.01(e) or Section 5.01(f). Each Person who, at any time, acquires any ownership interest in any Junior Subordinate Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such ownership interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions of this Section 5.01(e) and Section 5.01(f), as applicable. No transfer of a Junior Subordinate Certificate shall be deemed to be made in accordance with this Section 5.01(e) unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or unless the Trustee is provided with the certificates and an Opinion of Counsel, if required, on which the Trustee may conclusively rely, to the effect that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act, as follows: In the event that a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, the Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act, that the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer certify to the Trustee in writing, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, the facts surrounding the transfer, with such modifications to such Exhibit F as may be appropriate to reflect the actual facts of the proposed transfer, and that the Certificateholder’s proposed transferee certify to the Trustee in writing, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, the facts surrounding the transfer, with such modifications to such Exhibit G as may be appropriate to reflect the actual facts of the proposed transfer. If such certificate of the proposed transferee does not contain substantially the substance of Exhibit G, the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made without registration, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the expense of the Trustee, the Trust or the Company. Such Opinion of Counsel shall allow for the forwarding, and the Trustee shall forward, a copy thereof to the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Junior Subordinate Certificate may be transferred, sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 5.01(f).

(f) To effectuate a Certificate transfer of a Junior Subordinate Certificate in accordance with this Section 5.01(f), the proposed transferee of such Certificate must provide the Trustee and the Company with an investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Trustee or the Company, and which investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own account or the accounts of other “qualified institutional buyers” as defined under Rule 144A, and (ii) is aware that the proposed transferor intends to rely on the exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proposed transferee of such Certificate shall not be required to provide the Trustee or the Company with Annex 1 or Annex 2 to the form of Exhibit L attached hereto if the Company so consents prior to each such transfer. Such transfers shall be deemed to have complied with the requirements of this Section 5.01(f). The Holder of a Certificate desiring to effect such transfer does hereby agree to indemnify the Trust, the Trustee, the Company, and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if transfer is not made in accordance with this Agreement.

(g) (1) In the case of any ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for registration in the name of any Person, the prospective transferee shall be required to provide the Trustee and the Company (A) an officer’s certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O attached hereto acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, which officer’s certificate shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Company, and (B) only if such officer’s certificate indicates that a Benefit Plan Opinion is delivered in connection therewith, a Benefit Plan Opinion.

(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a certification (and, if applicable, a Benefit Plan Opinion) as described in Section 5.01(g)(1) above will not be required with respect to the transfer of any ERISA Restricted Certificate to a Clearing Agency, or for any subsequent transfer of any interest in a ERISA Restricted Certificate for so long as such Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate (each such ERISA Restricted Certificate, a “Book-Entry ERISA Restricted Certificate”). Any transferee of a Book-Entry ERISA Restricted Certificate will be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein), that either (i) such transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing such Certificate with “plan assets” of any such plan (a “Plan Investor”), (ii) such transferee is an insurance company, the source of funds to be used by it to acquire or hold such Certificate is an “insurance company general account” (within the meaning of Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60), and the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied (each entity that satisfies this clause (ii), a “Complying Insurance Company”) or (iii) such Certificate was rated “BBB-” or better (or its equivalent) by at least one of the Rating Agencies at the time of such transferee’s acquisition of such Certificate (or interest therein).

(3) If any Book-Entry ERISA Restricted Certificate (or any interest therein) is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of Section 5.01(g)(2) above, then the last preceding transferee that either (i) is not a Plan Investor, (ii) is a Complying Insurance Company or (iii) acquired such Certificate at a time when such Certificate was rated “BBB-” or better (or its equivalent) by at least one of the Rating Agencies shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Beneficial Holder thereof retroactive to the date of transfer of such Certificate by such preceding transferee. Neither the Trust nor the Trustee shall be under any liability to any Person for making any payments due on such Certificate to such preceding transferee.

(4) Any purported Beneficial Holder whose acquisition or holding of any Book-Entry ERISA Restricted Certificate (or interest therein) was effected in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.01(g) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Trust and the Underwriters from and against any and all liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such acquisition or holding.

Section 5.02. Certificates Issuable in Classes; Distributions of Principal and Interest; Authorized Denominations. The aggregate principal amount of the Certificates that may be authenticated and delivered under this Agreement is limited to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date, as specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement, except for Certificates authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant to Section 5.03. Such aggregate principal amount shall be allocated among one or more Classes having designations, types of interests, initial per annum Certificate Interest Rates, initial Class Principal Balances and Final Maturity Dates as specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement. The aggregate Percentage Interest of each Class of Certificates of which the Class Principal Balance equals zero as of the Cut-Off Date that may be authenticated and delivered under this Agreement is limited to 100%. Certificates shall be issued in Authorized Denominations.

Section 5.03. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. The Trustee shall cause to be maintained at one of its offices or at its designated agent, a Certificate Register in which there shall be recorded the name and address of each Certificateholder. Subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as the Trustee may prescribe, the Certificate Register shall be amended from time to time by the Trustee or its agent to reflect notice of any changes received by the Trustee or its agent pursuant to Section 10.06. The Trustee hereby appoints itself as the initial Certificate Registrar.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate to the Trustee at the office of the Trustee’s agent at DTC Transfer Agent Services, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 10041, or at DB Services Tennessee, Inc., 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Transfer Department, or such other address or agency as may hereafter be provided to the Master Servicer in writing by the Trustee, the Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of Authorized Denominations. At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates in Authorized Denominations of like Certificate Principal Balance or Percentage Interest, as applicable, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, and the Trustee, or any Authenticating Agent, shall authenticate and deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer shall (if so required by the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent and duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Xxxxxx’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

A reasonable service charge may be made for any such exchange or transfer of Certificates, and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or transfer of Certificates.

All Certificates surrendered for exchange or transfer shall be cancelled by the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent.

Section 5.04. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent, or (ii) the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent receives evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is delivered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and the Trust harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Certificate Principal Balance or Percentage Interest as applicable. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.04, the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent 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 or any Authenticating Agent) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in REMIC II (or with respect to the Class R Certificates, the residual ownership interests in REMIC I and REMIC II) as if originally issued, whether or not the lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.05. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Master Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and Section 4.04 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 5.06. Temporary Certificates. Upon the initial issuance of the Certificates, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust may execute, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Certificates which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any Authorized Denomination, of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations in form from the forms of the Certificates set forth as Exhibits A, B and H hereto as the Trustee’s officers executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their execution of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificates may remain in the form of temporary Certificates.

If temporary Certificates are issued, the Trustee shall cause definitive Certificates to be prepared within ten Business Days after the Closing Date or as soon as practicable thereafter. After preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee to be maintained as provided in Section 5.10 hereof, without charge to the holder. Any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such exchange shall be borne by the Master Servicer. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Certificates of Authorized Denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Certificates.

Section 5.07. Book-Entry for Book-Entry Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates of Authorized Denomination representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to DTC, the initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Beneficial Holder shall receive a definitive certificate representing such Beneficial Holder’s interest in any Class of Book-Entry Certificate, except as provided above and in Section 5.09. Each Book-Entry Certificate shall bear the following legend:

Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the Company or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any Certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

Unless and until definitive, fully registered Book-Entry Certificates (the “Definitive Certificates”) have been issued to the Beneficial Holders pursuant to Section 5.09:

(a) the provisions of this Section 5.07 shall be in full force and effect with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates;

(b) the Master Servicer and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing Agency for all purposes with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates (including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as the sole Certificateholder;

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.07 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 5.07 shall control; and

(d) the rights of the Beneficial Holders shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and the DTC Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Holders and the Clearing Agency and/or the DTC Participants. Pursuant to the Depositary Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.09, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the DTC Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the related Class of Book-Entry Certificates to such DTC Participants.

For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of Book-Entry Certificates evidencing a specified Percentage Interest, such direction or consent may be given by the Clearing Agency at the direction of Beneficial Holders owning Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite Percentage Interest represented by the Book-Entry Certificates. The Clearing Agency may take conflicting actions with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates to the extent that such actions are taken on behalf of the Beneficial Holders.

Section 5.08. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.09, the Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency which shall give such notices and communications to the related DTC Participants in accordance with its applicable rules, regulations and procedures.

Section 5.09. Definitive Certificates.

THE RECEIPT AND ACCEPTANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN BY OR ON BEHALF OF A HOLDER OR ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER, WITHOUT ANY SIGNATURE OR FURTHER MANIFESTATION OF ASSENT, SHALL CONSTITUTE THE UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE BY THE HOLDER AND ALL OTHERS HAVING A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN SUCH CERTIFICATE OF ALL THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND SHALL CONSTITUTE THE AGREEMENT OF THE TRUST, SUCH HOLDER AND SUCH OTHERS THAT THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING, OPERATIVE AND EFFECTIVE AS BETWEEN THE TRUST AND SUCH HOLDER AND SUCH OTHERS.

ARTICLE VII

Default

Section 7.01. Events of Default. (a) In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Master Servicer or by a successor Master Servicer shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(i) Any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit into the Certificate Account any payment required to be deposited therein by the Master Servicer under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of five 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 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 REMIC II; or

(ii) Failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Master Servicer contained in the Certificates or in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, 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 REMIC II; or

(iii) A decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding‑up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

(iv) The Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(v) The Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or

(vi) Any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Monthly P&I Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) which continues unremedied at the opening of business on the Distribution Date in respect of which such Monthly P&I Advance was to have been made;

then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II, by notice in writing to the Company and the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Certificateholders, in which case such notice shall set forth evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that such Event of Default has occurred and shall not have been remedied) may terminate all of the rights (other than its right to reimbursement for advances) and obligations of the Master Servicer, including its right to the Master Servicing Fee, under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, if any. Such determination shall be final and binding. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under 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 Xxxxxxxx agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Account or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a) shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately suspend all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice to any rights it may have as a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of Monthly P&I Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as provided in Section 7.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer, including the obligation to make any Monthly P&I Advance the nonpayment of which was an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a). Any such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the relevant Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer shall within two Business Days following such suspension remit to the Trustee the amount of any Monthly P&I Advance the nonpayment of which by the Master Servicer was an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a), the Trustee, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, shall permit the Master Servicer to resume its rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder. The Master Xxxxxxxx agrees that it will reimburse the Trustee for actual, necessary and reasonable costs incurred by the Trustee because of action taken pursuant to clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a). The Master Servicer agrees that if an Event of Default as described in clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a) shall occur more than two times in any twelve month period, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to permit the Master Servicer to resume its rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder.

(b) In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Company shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:

(i) Failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company contained in the Certificates or in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II; or

(ii) A decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding‑up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Company and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

(iii) The Company shall consent to the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Company or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(iv) The Company shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;

then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II, by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee, may direct the Trustee in accordance with Section 10.03 to institute an action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder to enforce the Company's obligations hereunder.

(c) In any circumstances in which this Agreement states that Certificateholders owning Certificates evidencing a certain Percentage Interest in REMIC II may take certain action, such action shall be taken by the Trustee, but only if the requisite percentage of Certificateholders required under this Agreement for taking like action or giving like instruction to the Trustee under this Agreement shall have so directed the Trustee in writing.

Section 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

(a) On and after the date on which the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or the Master Servicer resigns pursuant to Section 6.04, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer under this Agreement and under the Selling and Servicing Contracts with respect to the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool and with respect to the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto arising on or after such date of termination or resignation placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, and shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master Servicer; provided, that the Trustee shall not under any circumstances be responsible for any representations and warranties or any Purchase Obligation of the Company or any liability incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such date of termination or resignation and the Trustee shall not be obligated to make a Monthly P&I Advance if it is prohibited by law from so doing. 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 or to withdraw from the Certificate Account if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, except for those amounts due to the Master Servicer as reimbursement for advances previously made or amounts previously expended and are otherwise reimbursable hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established housing and home finance institution 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. Pending any such appointment, the Trustee is obligated to act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall, together with the compensation to the Trustee, be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

(b) In connection with any termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder, in the event that any of the Mortgage Loans are MERS Loans, either (i) the successor Master Servicer (including the Trustee if the Trustee is acting as successor Master Servicer) shall represent and warrant that it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with the servicing of the MERS Loans, in which case the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in registering the transfer of servicing of the MERS Loans to the successor Master Servicer on the MERS® System in accordance with MERS’ rules and procedures, or (ii) if the successor Master Servicer is not a member of MERS, the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in (A) de-registering the MERS Loans from the MERS® System and (B) causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment from MERS to the Trust of the Mortgage securing each MERS Loan in recordable form and in the form otherwise provided under clause (X)(iii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and to execute and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to effect such de-registration and assignment. The predecessor Master Servicer shall bear any and all fees of MERS and all fees and costs of preparing and recording any assignments of Mortgages as required under this Section 7.02(b).

Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any such termination or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to it which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such certificate, statement, opinion, report, or other order or instrument furnished by the Company or Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however, that:

(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement,

(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be personally liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Certificateholders holding Certificates which evidence Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to such trustee, or relating to the exercise of any trust or power conferred upon such trustee under this Agreement.

Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders (with a copy to the Rating Agencies) notice of each Event of Default, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Certificateholders; and provided, further, that in the case of any Event of Default of the character specified in Section 7.01(i) and Section 7.01(ii) no such notice to Certificateholders or to the Rating Agencies shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.

No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder (except for the giving of required notices), or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it; and

(viii) When the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, and to the extent permitted under applicable law, the Trustee is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted hereunder, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or its affiliate is acting as an agent of the Trustee or of any third person or dealing as principal for its own account.

Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee makes any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or any Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the Master Servicer, the Servicers or the Company in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited into the Custodial Accounts for P&I, any Buydown Fund Account, or the Custodial Accounts for P&I by any Servicer or into the Investment Account, or the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer or the Company.

Subject to separate written agreements with the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee, the Master Servicer covenants and agrees to, and the Master Servicer shall, pay each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee from time to time, and such trustee shall be entitled to payment, for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of such trustee. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay or reimburse each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee upon such trustee’s request for all reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred or made by such trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement and indemnify such trustee from any loss, liability or expense incurred by it hereunder (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 or disbursement as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. Such obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement or resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee. The Tax Matters Person shall, at its expense, prepare or cause to be prepared all federal and state income tax and franchise tax and information returns relating to REMIC I or REMIC II required to be prepared or filed by the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and shall indemnify the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee for any liability of such trustees arising from any error in such returns.

Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustees. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be (i) an institution insured by the FDIC, (ii) a Corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and (iii) acceptable to the Rating Agencies. If such Corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any aforementioned 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 combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Delaware Trustee hereunder shall at all times have its principal place of business in the State of Delaware and shall satisfy the applicable requirements under the laws of the State of Delaware authorizing it to act as the Delaware trustee of the Trust.

Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustees. Each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Master Servicer. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Master Servicer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

If at any time the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of such trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of such trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Master Servicer may remove such trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of which instrument shall be delivered to the trustee so removed, the trustee continuing in its capacity and the successor trustee.

The Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating more than 50% of REMIC II may at any time remove the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08. Any expenses associated with the resignation of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be borne by such trustee, and any expenses associated with the removal of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be borne by the Master Servicer.

Section 8.08. Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, 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 Delaware Trustee herein. The predecessor shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files, related documents, statements and all other property held by it hereunder, and the Master Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such appointment such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.08, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to (i) all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and (ii) the Rating Agencies. If the Master Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed.

Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any Corporation into which the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of such trustee, shall be the successor of such trustee hereunder, provided such resulting or successor Corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the assets of the Trust may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by such trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with such trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the assets of the Trust and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the assets of the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, may consider necessary or desirable; provided, that the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall remain liable for all of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, alone shall have the power to make such appointment; provided, that such trustee shall remain liable for all of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. 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.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly and severally, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable (whether as Trustee or Delaware Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), such 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 assets of 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 or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then related separate trustee(s) and co-trustee(s), as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee(s) or co-trustee(s) shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, 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 or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and the trust shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Section 8.11. Authenticating Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in authenticating Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Master Servicer and must be a corporation, trust company or banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a principal office and place of business in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.

Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent so long as it shall be eligible in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 8.11 without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Master Servicer. The Trustee may, upon prior written approval of the Master Servicer, at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Master Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 8.11, the Trustee may appoint, upon prior written approval of the Master Servicer, a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Master Servicer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. Any reasonable compensation paid to an Authenticating Agent shall be a reimbursable expense pursuant to Section 8.05 if paid by the Trustee.

Section 8.12. Paying Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or more Paying Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in making withdrawals from the Certificate Account, and distributions to Certificateholders as provided in Section 4.01, Section 4.04(a) and Section 9.01(b) to the extent directed to do so by the Master Servicer. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to the withdrawal from the Certificate Account by the Trustee, such reference shall be deemed to include such a withdrawal on behalf of the Trustee by a Paying Agent. Whenever reference is made in this Agreement to a distribution by the Trustee or the furnishing of a statement to Certificateholders by the Trustee, such reference shall be deemed to include such a distribution or furnishing on behalf of the Trustee by a Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent shall provide to the Trustee such information concerning the Certificate Account as the Trustee shall request from time to time. Each Paying Agent must be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and must be a corporation, trust company or banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a principal office and place of business in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.

Any corporation into which any Paying Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Paying Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Paying Agent, shall continue to be the Paying Agent provided that such corporation after the consummation of such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession meets the eligibility requirements of this Section 8.12.

Any Paying Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Master Servicer; provided, that the Paying Agent has returned to the Certificate Account or otherwise accounted, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Master Servicer, for all amounts it has withdrawn from the Certificate Account. The Trustee may, upon prior written approval of the Master Servicer, at any time terminate the agency of any Paying Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Paying Agent and to the Master Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Paying Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 8.12, the Trustee may appoint, upon prior written approval of the Master Servicer, a successor Paying Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Master Servicer and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor Paying Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Paying Agent. Any reasonable compensation paid to any Paying Agent shall be a reimbursable expense pursuant to Section 8.05 if paid by the Trustee.

Termination

Section 9.01. Termination Upon Purchase by the Master Servicer or Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Article IX, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make payments to Certificateholders as hereafter set forth, the Trust and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee created hereby shall terminate in accordance with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute upon (i) the purchase by the Master Servicer pursuant to the following paragraph of this Section 9.01(a) of all Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement at a price equal to the sum of (x) the excess of (A) 100% of the aggregate outstanding Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans) plus accrued interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate with respect to such Mortgage Loan (other than a Liquidated Mortgage Loan) through the last day of the month of such purchase, over (B) with respect to any Mortgage Loan which is not a Liquidated Mortgage Loan, the amount of the Bankruptcy Loss incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan as of the date of such purchase by the Master Servicer to the extent that the Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan has not been previously reduced by such Bankruptcy Loss, and (y) without duplication, the appraised fair market value as of the effective date of the termination of the Trust of (A) all property in the Trust which secured a Mortgage Loan and which was acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure after the Cut-Off Date, including related Insurance Proceeds, and (B) all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement, any such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee, less the sum of all unreimbursed advances made by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or by a Servicer pursuant to its Selling and Servicing Contract, other than advances made with respect to Mortgage Loans as to which the Master Servicer expects at the time of such purchase, in its sole judgment, that foreclosure is not imminent, or (ii) the later of the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure in respect of any Mortgage Loan, and the payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts required to be paid to them hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the issue of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof. Neither the Master Servicer nor any Servicer shall have any further right to reimbursement by the Trust for any advance that is used to reduce the purchase price of the Mortgage Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

On any Distribution Date after the Clean-Up Call Option Date, the Master Servicer may purchase the outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement at the price stated in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph; provided, that the Master Servicer may not so purchase the outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement if the price stated in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph exceeds the fair market value, determined in accordance with prudent industry practices, of all outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement. If such right is exercised, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee (and to the Company, if the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer) the written certification of an officer of the Master Servicer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts required to be paid in order to purchase the Mortgage Loans have been deposited in the Certificate Account) and the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall promptly execute all instruments as may be necessary to release and assign to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement.

In no event shall the Master Servicer be required to expend any amounts other than those described in the first paragraph of this Section 9.01(a) in order to terminate the Trust or purchase the Mortgage Loans under this Section 9.01, and in no event shall the Company be required to expend any amounts in connection with such termination or purchase.

(b) In the event that the Master Servicer elects to exercise its purchase option as provided in Section 9.01(a), the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee (and to the Company, if the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer) notice thereof not less than 40 days prior to the date of the final distribution to Certificateholders. Notice of such purchase, specifying the date upon which the Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by letter from the Trustee to Certificateholders mailed not less than 30 days prior to such final distribution, specifying (i) the date upon which final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar therein designated (the “Termination Date”), (ii) the amount of such final payment (the “Termination Payment”) and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to the Distribution Date upon which the Termination Date occurs is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar therein specified. Upon any such notice, the Certificate Account shall terminate subject to the Master Servicer’s obligation to hold all amounts payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.

In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their Certificates for cancellation within six months after the Termination Date, the Master Servicer shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the Termination Payment with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Master Servicer may take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain in trust hereunder.

Upon the completion of winding up of the Trust, including the payment or the making reasonable provision for payment of all obligations of the Trust in accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Statute, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and any other trustee hereunder shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 3810 of the Statutory Trust Statute, at which time the Trust and this Agreement shall terminate. The Master Servicer shall act as the liquidator of the Trust and shall be responsible for taking all actions in connection with winding up the Trust, in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement (including Section 9.02) and applicable law.

Section 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.

(a) In the event the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option as provided in Section 9.01, REMIC I and REMIC II shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Master Servicer, at its own expense, obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of REMIC I and REMIC II to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.02 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of REMIC I and REMIC II as described in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause REMIC I or REMIC II 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 set forth in the notice given by the Trustee under Section 9.01, the Tax Matters Person shall prepare the documentation required and the Tax Matters Person and the Trustee shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation on behalf of REMIC I and REMIC II meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer, on behalf of REMIC I and REMIC II; 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 Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I and REMIC II to the Master Servicer for cash in the amount specified in Section 9.01.

(b) By its acceptance of any Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof hereby agrees to authorize the Tax Matters Person and the Trustee to adopt such a plan of complete liquidation and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be reasonably necessary.

Section 9.03. Trust Irrevocable. Except as expressly provided herein, the trust created hereby is irrevocable.

ARTICLE X

Miscellaneous Provisions

provided, however, that any such amendment which modifies the rights or obligations of the Delaware Trustee hereunder shall require the consent of the Delaware Trustee. No such amendment (other than one entered into pursuant to clause (iii) of the preceding sentence) shall change the powers of the Master Servicer. Prior to entering into any amendment (other than one entered into pursuant to clause (iii) of the second preceding sentence) without the consent of Certificateholders pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trust and the Trustee to the effect that such amendment is permitted under this Agreement and has no material adverse effect on the interests of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such Opinion of Counsel shall be required if the Company obtains a letter from each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates. Prior to entering into any amendment pursuant to clause (iii) of the third preceding sentence without the consent of Certificateholders pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such action is necessary or helpful to comply with the requirements imposed by the Code or any regulations thereunder and shall not cause any REMIC formed under this Agreement to fail to qualify as such under the Code.

(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Master Servicer, the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66% of REMIC II 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; provided, however, that no such amendment shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Certificate affected thereby (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, distributions of principal or interest required to be made hereunder or reduce the Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest, the Certificate Interest Rate or the Termination Payment with respect to any of the Certificates, (ii) reduce the percentage of Percentage Interests specified in this Section 10.01 which are required to amend this Agreement, (iii) create or permit the creation of any lien against any part of REMIC I or REMIC II, or (iv) modify any provision in any way which would permit an earlier retirement of the Certificates; provided, further, that any such amendment which modifies the rights or obligations of the Delaware Trustee hereunder shall require the consent of the Delaware Trustee.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to the Delaware Trustee and each Certificateholder. Any failure to provide such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

Section 10.02. 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 the comparable jurisdictions in which any Mortgaged Property is situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Company and at its expense only if such recordation is reasonably necessary or required to effectuate the duties and powers of the Master Servicer provided to it under this Agreement.

Section 10.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to 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.

No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise to control the operation and management of the Trust or the obligations of the parties hereto (except as provided in Section 5.09, Section 7.01, Section 8.01, Section 8.02, Section 8.07, Section 10.01 and this Section 10.03), nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II 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, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and 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. However, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the extraordinary trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to make any investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders unless such Certificateholders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. It is understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.03, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 10.04. Access to List of Certificateholders. The Certificate Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date for payment of distributions to such Certificateholders.

If three or more Certificateholders (hereinafter referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such list from the Certificate Registrar, afford such applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Trustee. If such a list is as of a date more than 90 days prior to the date of receipt of such applicants’ request, the Trustee shall promptly request from the Certificate Registrar a current list as provided above, and shall afford such applicants access to such list promptly upon receipt.

Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Master Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee that none of the Master Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 10.05. Governing Law.

Any notice so mailed within the time prescribed in this Agreement shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Certificateholder receives such notice.

Section 10.07. Severability of Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates or the rights of the Holders thereof.

Section 10.08. Counterpart Signatures. For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

WaMu MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE

The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the Company or any of its affiliates and are not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency. 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 Pooling Agreement. In the event funds are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to the Master Servicer from the related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from other cash deposited in the Certificate Account to the extent that such advance is not otherwise recoverable.

As provided in the Pooling Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement to the Master Servicer of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by it.

As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or the office maintained by the Trustee in the City and State of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Xxxxxx's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of Authorized Denominations evidencing the same Percentage Interest set forth hereinabove will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without coupons in Authorized Denominations specified in the Pooling Agreement. As provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of Authorized Denominations of like Certificate Principal Balance or Percentage Interest, as applicable, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

A reasonable service charge may be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

The Company, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither the Company, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The obligations created by the Pooling Agreement and the Trust created thereby shall terminate upon (i) the later of the maturity or other liquidation (including purchase by the Master Servicer) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the payment to Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Pooling Agreement. In the event that the Company or the Master Servicer purchases any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Pooling Agreement, the Pooling Agreement generally requires that the Trustee distribute to the Certificateholders in the aggregate an amount equal to 100% of the unpaid Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus unpaid accrued interest thereon at the applicable Pass-Through Rate to the last day of the month in which such purchase occurs. The Pooling Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer to purchase from the Trust all Mortgage Loans at the time subject thereto and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan upon payment to the Certificateholders of the amounts specified in the Pooling Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates, the Master Servicer’s right to purchase being subject to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than the Clean-Up Call Percentage of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.

2. Company’s Duties. The Company shall diligently perform all duties incident to the origination, sale and servicing of the mortgage loans subject to this Agreement. In the performance of its servicing duties, the Company shall exercise the same degree of care it exercises when servicing mortgage loans for its own account, but in no event shall the Company exercise less care than a reasonable prudent servicer would exercise under similar circumstances. In addition, the Company shall comply with all of the provisions of the Guides and with all other requirements and instructions of Washington Mutual Mortgage. The Company shall perform such duties at its sole expense, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Guides.

3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company; Remedies of Washington Mutual Mortgage.

Any other transfer by Washington Mutual Mortgage will be allowed and be effective upon written notice by Washington Mutual Mortgage to the Company.

6. Prior Agreements. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements and understandings between Washington Mutual Mortgage and the Company governing the subject matter hereof; provided, however, the Company shall not be released from any responsibility or liability that may have arisen under such agreements and understanding.

All section headings contained herein are for convenience only and shall not be construed as part of this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall as to such jurisdiction be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end, the provisions hereof are severable. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, applicable federal laws and laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to conflict of laws principles. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which shall constitute the same Agreement.

COUNTY OF               )

[NAME OF OFFICER], being first duly sworn, deposes and says:

1. That he is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner] (record or beneficial owner of the Class R Certificate (the “Owner”)), a [savings institution] [corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the State of ] [the United States], on behalf of which he makes this affidavit and agreement.

2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a “disqualified organization” as of [date of transfer] within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and will endeavor to remain other than a disqualified organization for so long as it retains its ownership interest in the Class R Certificates, and (ii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. (For this purpose, a disqualified organization” means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not selected by any such governmental entity), or any foreign government or international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable income).

3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on transfers of the Class R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer is through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middle-man) for a disqualified organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is not a disqualified organization and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be a “noneconomic residual interest” within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual interest, if a significant purpose of the transfer was to enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a “pass-through entity” holding the Class R Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of the pass-through entity a disqualified organization is the record holder of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a “pass through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)

5. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the Transfer of the Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferees' agent, delivers to it an affidavit and agreement, among other things, in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Owner expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are false.

6. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Pooling Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued (in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.01(c) which authorize the Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event the Owner holds such Certificates in violation of Section 5.01). The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.

7. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified organization.

8. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is ..

9. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the purchase of the Class R Certificates by the Owner is or will be to enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax, and that in making this representation, the Owner warrants that the Owner is familiar with Treasury Regulation 1.860E-1(c) and with the preamble to the adoption of amendments to that regulation as of July 19, 2002, attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

10. That the Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the Class R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder of such Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificates. That the Owner has provided financial statements or other financial information requested by the transferor in connection with the transfer of the Class R Certificates to permit the transferor to assess the financial capability of the Owner to pay such taxes.

11. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.

12. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any of the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.

13. That the Owner is familiar with Treasury Regulation 1.860E-1(c) and with the preamble to the adoption of amendments to that regulation as of July 19, 2002, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, and that no purpose of the Owner relating to any sale of the Class R Certificates by the Owner will be to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

14. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity treated as a partnership or corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

15. The Owner hereby agrees that it will not cause income from the Class R Certificates to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty) of the Owner or another United States taxpayer.

16. The Owner hereby agrees to cooperate with the Company and to take any action required of it by the Code or Treasury regulations thereunder (whether now or hereafter promulgated) in order to create or maintain the REMIC status of REMIC I and REMIC II (the “REMICs”).

17. The Owner hereby agrees that it will not take any action that could endanger the REMIC status of the REMICs or result in the imposition of tax on the REMICs unless counsel for, or acceptable to, the Company has provided an opinion that such action will not result in the loss of such REMIC status or the imposition of such tax, as applicable.

18. The Owner as transferee of the Class R Certificates has represented to the transferor that, if the Class R Certificates constitute a noneconomic residual interest, the Owner (i) understands that as holder of a noneconomic residual interest it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest, and (ii) intends to pay taxes associated with its holding of the Class R Certificates as they become due.

19. That the Owner satisfies the condition in the paragraph marked below [mark one paragraph only]:

The final regulations provide additional limitations on the circumstances under which transferors may claim safe harbor treatment.

DATES: Effective Date: These regulations are effective July 19, 2002.

Applicability Date: For dates of applicability, see Sec. 1.860E-

(1)(c)(10).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx at (000) 000-0000 (not a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Paperwork Reduction Act

The collection of information in this final rule has been reviewed and, pending receipt and evaluation of public comments, approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under 44 U.S.C. 3507 and assigned control number 1545-1675. The collection of information in this regulation is in Sec. 1.860E-1(c)(5)(ii). This information is required to enable the IRS to verify that a taxpayer is complying with the conditions of this regulation. The collection of information is mandatory and is required. Otherwise, the taxpayer will not receive the benefit of safe harbor treatment as provided in the regulation. The likely respondents are businesses and other for-profit institutions.

Comments on the collection of information should be sent to the Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for the Department of the Treasury, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Washington, DC, 20503, with copies to the Internal Revenue Service, Attn: IRS Reports Clearance Officer, W:CAR:MP:FP:S, Washington, DC 20224. Comments on the collection of information should be received by September 17, 2002. Comments are specifically requested concerning:

Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Internal Revenue Service, including whether the information will have practical utility;

The accuracy of the estimated burden associated with the collection

of information (see below);

How the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected may be enhanced;

How the burden of complying with the collection of information may be minimized, including through the application of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and

Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,

maintenance, and purchase of service to provide information.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid control number assigned by the Office of Management and Budget.

The estimated total annual reporting burden is 470 hours, based on an estimated number of respondents of 470 and an estimated average annual burden hours per respondent of one hour.

Books or records relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as their contents may become material in the administration of any internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.

Background

This document contains final regulations regarding the proposed amendments to 26 CFR part 1 under section 860E of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). The regulations provide the circumstances under which a transferor of a noneconomic REMIC residual interest meeting the investigation and representation requirements may avail itself of the safe harbor by satisfying either the formula test or the asset test.

Final regulations governing REMICs, issued in 1992, contain rules governing the transfer of noneconomic REMIC residual interests. In general, a transfer of a noneconomic residual interest is disregarded for all tax purposes if a significant purpose of the transfer is to enable the transferor to impede the assessment or collection of tax. A purpose to impede the assessment or collection of tax (a wrongful purpose) exists if the transferor, at the time of the transfer, either knew or should have known that the transferee would be unwilling or unable to pay taxes due on its share of the REMIC's taxable income.

Under a safe harbor, the transferor of a REMIC noneconomic residual interest is presumed not to have a wrongful purpose if two requirements are satisfied: (1) the transferor conducts a reasonable investigation of the transferee's financial condition (the investigation requirement); and (2) the transferor secures a representation from the transferee to the effect that the transferee understands the tax obligations associated with holding a residual interest and intends to pay those taxes (the representation requirement).

The IRS and Treasury have been concerned that some transferors of noneconomic residual interests claim they satisfy the safe harbor even in situations where the economics of the transfer clearly indicate the transferee is unwilling or unable to pay the tax associated with holding the interest. For this reason, on February 7, 2000, the IRS published in the Federal Register (65 FR 5807) a notice of proposed rulemaking (REG-100276-97; REG-122450-98) designed to clarify the safe harbor by adding the ``formula test,'' an economic test. The proposed regulation provides that the safe harbor is unavailable unless the present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the residual interest does not exceed the sum of: (1) The present value of any consideration given to the transferee to acquire the interest; (2) the present value of the expected future distributions on the interest; and (3) the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding the interest as the REMIC generates losses.

The notice of proposed rulemaking also contained rules for FASITs. Section 1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations provides requirements for transfers of FASIT ownership interests and adopts a safe harbor by reference to the safe harbor provisions of the REMIC regulations.

In January 2001, the IRS published Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3 I.R.B. 335) to set forth an alternative safe harbor that taxpayers could use while the IRS and the Treasury considered comments on the proposed regulations. Under the alternative safe harbor, if a transferor meets the investigation requirement and the representation requirement but the transfer fails to meet the formula test, the transferor may invoke the safe harbor if the transferee meets a two-prong test (the asset test). A transferee generally meets the first prong of this test if, at the time of the transfer, and in each of the two years preceding the year of transfer, the transferee's gross assets exceed $100 million and its net assets exceed $10 million. A transferee generally meets the second prong of this test if it is a domestic, taxable corporation and agrees in writing not to transfer the interest to any person other than another domestic, taxable corporation that also satisfies the requirements of the asset test. A transferor cannot rely on the asset test if the transferor knows, or has reason to know, that the transferee will not comply with its written agreement to limit the restrictions on subsequent transfers of the residual interest.

Rev. Proc. 2001-12 provides that the asset test fails to be satisfied in the case of a transfer or assignment of a noneconomic residual interest to a foreign branch of an otherwise eligible transferee. If such a transfer or assignment were permitted, a corporate taxpayer might seek to claim that the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty would resource excess inclusion income as foreign source income, and that, as a consequence, any U.S. tax liability attributable to the excess inclusion income could be offset by foreign tax credits. Such a claim would impede the assessment or collection of U.S. tax on excess inclusion income, contrary to the congressional purpose of assuring that such income will be taxable in all events. See, e.g., sections 860E(a)(1), (b), (e) and 860G(b) of the Code.

The Treasury and the IRS have learned that certain taxpayers transferring noneconomic residual interests to foreign branches have attempted to rely on the formula test to obtain safe harbor treatment in an effort to impede the assessment or collection of U.S. tax on excess inclusion income. Accordingly, the final regulations provide that if a noneconomic residual interest is transferred to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base of a U.S. taxpayer, the transfer is not eligible for safe harbor treatment under either the asset test or the formula test. The final regulations also require a transferee to represent that it will not cause income from the noneconomic residual interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base.

Section 1.860E-1(c)(8) provides computational rules that a taxpayer may use to qualify for safe harbor status under the formula test. Section 1.860E-1(c)(8)(i) provides that the transferee is presumed to pay tax at a rate equal to the highest rate of tax specified in section 11(b). Some commentators were concerned that this presumed rate of taxation was too high because it does not take into consideration taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax rate. In light of the comments received, this provision has been amended in the final regulations to allow certain transferees that compute their taxable income using the alternative minimum tax rate to use the alternative minimum tax rate applicable to corporations.

Additionally, Sec. 1.860E-1(c)(8)(iii) provides that the present values in the formula test are to be computed using a discount rate equal to the applicable Federal short-term rate prescribed by section 1274(d). This is a change from the proposed regulation and Rev. Proc. 2001-12. In those publications the provision stated that “present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the applicable Federal rate prescribed in section 1274(d) compounded semiannually” and that “[a] lower discount rate may be used if the transferee can demonstrate that it regularly borrows, in the course of its trade or business, substantial funds at such lower rate from an unrelated third party.” The IRS and the Treasury Department have learned that, based on this provision, certain taxpayers have been attempting to use unrealistically low or zero interest rates to satisfy the formula test, frustrating the intent of the test. Furthermore, the Treasury Department and the IRS believe that a rule allowing for a rate other than a rate based on an objective index would add unnecessary complexity to the safe harbor. As a result, the rule in the proposed regulations that permits a transferee to use a lower discount rate, if the transferee can demonstrate that it regularly borrows substantial funds at such lower rate, is not included in the final regulations; and the Federal short-term rate has been substituted for the applicable Federal rate. To simplify taxpayers' computations, the final regulations allow use of any of the published short-term rates, provided that the present values are computed with a corresponding period of compounding. With the exception of the provisions relating to transfers to foreign branches, these changes generally have the proposed applicability date of February 4, 2000, but taxpayers may choose to apply the interest rate formula set forth in the proposed regulation and Rev. Proc. 2001-12 for transfers occurring before August 19, 2002.

It is anticipated that when final regulations are adopted with respect to FASITs, Sec. 1.860H-6(g) of the proposed regulations will be adopted in substantially its present form, with the result that the final regulations contained in this document will also govern transfers of FASIT ownership interests with substantially the same applicability date as is contained in this document.

Effect on Other Documents

Rev. Proc. 2001-12 (2001-3 I.R.B. 335) is obsolete for transfers of noneconomic residual interests in REMICs occurring on or after August 19, 2002.

Special Analyses

It is hereby certified that these regulations will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This certification is based on the fact that it is unlikely that a substantial number of small entities will hold REMIC residual interests. Therefore, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) is not required. It has been determined that this Treasury decision is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. It also has been determined that sections 553(b) and 553(d) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) do not apply to these regulations.

7. The Buyer will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein. Until such notice is given, the Buyer's purchase of Rule 144A Securities will constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date of such purchase.
