SECTION 2.01. Conveyance of Mortgage Loans.
The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery
hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the
Trustee without recourse for the benefit of the Certificateholders all the
right, title and interest of the Depositor, including any security interest
therein for the benefit of the Depositor, in and to the Mortgage Loans
identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the rights of the Depositor under the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and all other assets included or to be
included in REMIC I. Such assignment includes all interest and principal
received by the Depositor or the Master Servicer on or with respect to the
Mortgage Loans (other than payments of principal and interest due on such
Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date). The Depositor herewith delivers
to the Trustee an executed copy of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.
In connection with such transfer and assignment, the Depositor
does hereby deliver to, and deposit with, the Trustee, the following documents
or instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan so transferred and assigned (a
"Mortgage File"):
(i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed by the Originator or
the Originator's successor in interest in blank, or with respect to any
lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost Note Affidavit stating that the
original mortgage note was lost, misplaced or destroyed, together with
a copy of the related mortgage note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such
substitutions of Lost Note Affidavits for original Mortgage Notes may
occur only with respect to Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Cut-off Date
Principal Balance of which is less than or equal to 2.00% of the Pool
Balance as of the Cut-off Date;
(ii) the original recorded Mortgage, with evidence of
recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage certified by the public
recording office in those jurisdictions where the public recording
office retains the original and the original recorded power of
attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney,
with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the power of attorney
certified by the public recording office where the public recording
office retains the original;
(iii) an original Assignment of the Mortgage executed by the
Originator or the Originator's successor in interest in blank, together
with any intervening assignments and showing a complete chain of title
from the original mortgagee named under the Mortgage to the Originator
or the Originator's successor in interest in blank or an Affiliate of
the Originator;
(iv) the originals of all assumption, modification,
consolidation or extension agreements, if any;
-45-
(v) the original of any guarantee executed in connection with
the Mortgage Note;
(vi) the original lender's title insurance policy, together
with all endorsements or riders which were issued with or subsequent to
the issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the Mortgage as a
first lien on the Mortgaged Property represented therein as a fee
interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event such original title
policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform binder or
preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or escrow
company or an attorney's title opinion, if customary in the related
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located; and
(vii) the original of any security agreement, chattel mortgage
or equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage.
With respect to each Mortgage Note and Assignment endorsed in
blank as of the Closing Date, within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date the
Depositor shall cause such endorsements to be completed in the following form:
"Pay to the order of Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as
Trustee, without recourse."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge
that on the Closing Date, the Depositor will deliver to, and deposit with, the
Trustee, the Mortgage Note and will deliver the remaining contents of each
Mortgage File within 60 days following the Closing Date.
In instances where an original recorded Mortgage, power of
attorney or any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreement
cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee within 60 days following the
Closing Date, due to a delay in connection with the recording of such Mortgage,
power of attorney or assumption, modification, consolidation or extension
agreement, the Depositor may, in lieu of delivering such original recorded
Mortgage, power of attorney or assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreement referred to in clause (ii) or clause (iv) above, deliver to
the Trustee a copy thereof, provided that the Depositor certifies that the
original Mortgage, power of attorney, assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreement has been delivered for recordation. In instances where an
original recorded Mortgage or power of attorney has been lost or misplaced, the
Depositor may deliver or cause to be delivered, in lieu of such Mortgage or
power of attorney, a copy of such Mortgage or power of attorney bearing
recordation information and certified as true and correct by the office in which
recordation thereof was made. In instances where an Assignment in recordable
form cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee within 60 days
following the Closing Date, due to a delay in connection with the recording of
the Mortgage, the Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the completed assignment
in recordable form referred to in clause (iii) above to the Trustee, deliver
such Assignment to the Trustee completed except for recording information. In
all such instances, the Depositor will deliver the original recorded Mortgage or
power of attorney and completed Assignment (if applicable) to the Trustee
promptly upon receipt of such Mortgage or power of attorney.
The Master Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the
Originator under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to cause all Assignments
referred to in Section 2.01(iii) hereof and, to the extent necessary, in Section
2.01(iv) hereof to be recorded. The Master Servicer shall
-46-
furnish the Trustee, or its designated agent, with a copy of each Assignment
submitted for recording. In the event that any such Assignment is lost or
returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Master Servicer shall cause
the Originator to promptly have a substitute Assignment prepared or have such
defect cured, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to
be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for administrative convenience
and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall
not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any
Mortgage Loan located in Florida and Maryland) unless such failure to record
would result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating
on any Class of Certificates; provided, however, the Trustee shall enforce the
obligation of the Originator under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to
submit each Assignment for recording, at the Originator's expense, upon a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee gaining actual knowledge of the earliest to
occur of: (i) direction by Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of
the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Termination, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure
relating to the Originator, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing transfer as
described in Section 7.02 hereof, (v) with respect to any one Assignment the
occurrence of a foreclosure relating to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage
and (vi) on or after the 90th day on which the payment for such Mortgage Loan
was due and payable and not received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Originator fails to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will
be paid by the Trustee and the Trustee shall be reimbursed for such expenses as
Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses.
In addition to the foregoing, the Depositor shall also deliver
to the Trustee a true and complete copy, certified as such by an officer of the
Originator, of each certificate or other evidence of merger or change of name,
if any of the Mortgage Loans were acquired by the Originator by merger or
acquired or originated by the Originator while conducting business under a name
other than its present name and such certificate or other evidence shall not
have been recorded in the public recording office where the related Mortgage is
required to be recorded
The Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Trustee promptly upon receipt thereof any other original documents constituting
a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any Mortgage Loan, including,
but not limited to, any original documents evidencing an assumption,
modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are
not delivered to the Trustee are and shall be held by or on behalf of the
Seller, the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, in trust for
the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. In the event
that any such original document is required pursuant to the terms of this
Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered
promptly to the Trustee. Any such original document delivered to or held by the
Depositor that is not required pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a
part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered promptly to the Master Servicer.

SECTION 2.02. Acceptance of REMIC I by the Trustee.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to the
review described below and any exceptions noted on the exception report
described in the second paragraph below, the Trustee acknowledges receipt of the
documents referred to in Section 2.01 above and all other assets included in the
definition of "REMIC I" and declares that it holds and will hold such documents
and the other documents delivered to it constituting a Mortgage File, and that
it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets included in the
definition of "REMIC I" in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all
present and future Certificateholders.
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee agrees, for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, to execute and deliver to the Depositor and
the Master Servicer an acknowledgment of receipt of each Mortgage Note (with any
exceptions noted), substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto.
The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
to review, or that it has reviewed pursuant to Section 2.01 each Mortgage File
within 90 days of the Closing Date, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (or, with
respect to any document delivered after the Startup Day, within 90 days of
receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage, within 90 days
after the assignment thereof). The Trustee further agrees, for the benefit of
the Certificateholders, to certify in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C-1, within 90 days following the date on which the Trustee receives the
remaining contents of each Mortgage File from the Depositor, with respect to
each Mortgage Loan (or, with respect to any document delivered after the Startup
Day, within 90 days of receipt and with respect to any Qualified Substitute
Mortgage, within 90 days after the assignment thereof) that, as to each Mortgage
Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in
full or any Mortgage Loan specifically identified in the exception report
annexed thereto as not being covered by such certification), (i) all documents
required to be delivered to it pursuant Section 2.01 of this Agreement are in
its possession, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and have not been
mutilated, damaged or torn and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on
its examination and only as to the foregoing, the information set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule that corresponds to items (i), (iii) and (xiv) of the
Mortgage Loan Schedule accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage
File. It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Trustee is
under no duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any such documents,
instruments, certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine,
enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they have
actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport to be on
their face.
Prior to the first anniversary date of this Agreement the
Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor and the Master Servicer a final
certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2 evidencing the
completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable exceptions noted
thereon.
If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Trustee finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File
to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the conclusion of its
review the Trustee shall so notify the Depositor and the Master Servicer. In
addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor or the Master Servicer (or upon
receipt by the Trustee
-48-
of written notification of such breach) of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by the Originator or the Seller in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage Loan which
materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the interests of the related
Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such breach
shall give prompt written notice to the other parties to this Agreement.
The Depositor and the Trustee intend that the assignment and
transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale of the Mortgage Loans, the
related Mortgage Notes and the related documents, conveying good title thereto
free and clear of any liens and encumbrances, from the Depositor to the Trustee
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and that such property not be
part of the Depositor's estate or property of the Depositor in the event of any
insolvency by the Depositor. In the event that such conveyance is deemed to be,
or to be made as security for, a loan, the parties intend that the Depositor
shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trustee a first
priority perfected security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and
interest in and to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Notes and the
related documents, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement
under applicable law.
SECTION 2.03. Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by
the Seller.
(a) Upon discovery or receipt of notice of any materially
defective document in, or that a document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of
the breach by the Originator or the Seller of any representation, warranty or
covenant under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in respect of any Mortgage
Loan which materially adversely affects the value of such Mortgage Loan or the
interest therein of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall promptly notify
the Originator, the Seller and the Master Servicer of such defect, missing
document or breach and request that the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from
the date the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, was notified of such
missing document, defect or breach, and if the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, does not deliver such missing document or cure such defect or breach
in all material respects during such period, the Trustee shall enforce the
obligations of the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement to repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I at the
Purchase Price within 90 days after the date on which the Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, was notified (subject to Section 2.03(e)) of such missing
document, defect or breach, if and to the extent that the Originator or the
Seller, as applicable, is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement. The Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be
remitted by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, to the Master Servicer
for deposit into the Collection Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of
written certification from the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to
the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, the related Mortgage File and shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, as the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall furnish
to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee shall
have no further responsibility with regard to such Mortgage File. In lieu of
repurchasing any such Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC I (in which case it shall
become a Deleted Mortgage Loan) and substitute one or more Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in Section
2.03(d). It is understood and
-49-
agreed that the obligation of the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, to
cure or to repurchase (or to substitute for) any Mortgage Loan as to which a
document is missing, a material defect in a constituent document exists or as to
which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders.
(b) [Reserved];
(c) Within 90 days of the earlier of discovery by the Master
Servicer or receipt of notice by the Master Servicer of the breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant of the Master Servicer set forth in Section
2.05 which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Certificateholders in any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall cure such
breach in all material respects.
(d) Any substitution of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
for Deleted Mortgage Loans made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) must be effected
prior to the date which is two years after the Startup Day for REMIC I.
As to any Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Originator or
the Seller, as applicable, substitutes a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, delivering to the Trustee, for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or Loans, the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment to the Trustee,
and such other documents and agreements, with all necessary endorsements
thereon, as are required by Section 2.01, together with an Officers' Certificate
providing that each such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan satisfies the
definition thereof and specifying the Substitution Shortfall Amount (as
described below), if any, in connection with such substitution. The Trustee
shall acknowledge receipt for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
and shall thereafter, review such documents within the time periods and in the
manner specified in Section 2.02 and deliver the applicable certifications, with
any applicable exceptions noted thereon, within the time periods and in the
manner specified in Section 2.02. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loans in the month of substitution are not part of the Trust
Fund and will be retained by the Originator or the Seller, as applicable. For
the month of substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will reflect the
Monthly Payment due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan on or before the Due Date in
the month of substitution, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain
all amounts subsequently received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. The
Trustee shall give or cause to be given written notice to the Certificateholders
that such substitution has taken place, and the Master Servicer shall amend the
Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan from
the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans and shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan
Schedule to the Trustee. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans shall constitute part of the Mortgage Pool and shall be
subject in all respects to the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement, including all applicable representations and warranties
thereof included in the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in each case as of the
date of substitution.
-50-
For any month in which the Originator or the Seller, as
applicable, substitutes one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for one
or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the amount
(the "Substitution Shortfall Amount"), if any, by which the aggregate Purchase
Price of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans exceeds the aggregate of, as to each
such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Scheduled Principal Balance thereof
as of the date of substitution, together with one month's interest on such
Scheduled Principal Balance at the applicable Net Mortgage Rate. On the date of
such substitution, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, will deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection
Account an amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the
Trustee, upon receipt of the related Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans
and certification by the Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the
Seller the related Mortgage File or Files and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, shall deliver to it and as shall be
necessary to vest therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In addition, the Originator or the Seller, as applicable,
shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that such substitution will not cause (a) any federal tax to be
imposed on any Trust REMIC, including without limitation, any federal tax
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code, or
(b) any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any
Certificate is outstanding.
(e) Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or
the Trustee that any Mortgage Loan does not constitute a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the party discovering such
fact shall within two Business Days give written notice thereof to the other
parties. In connection therewith, the Originator or the Depositor shall
repurchase or, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(d),
substitute one or more Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans for the affected
Mortgage Loan within 90 days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of such
notice with respect to such affected Mortgage Loan. Such repurchase or
substitution shall be made by (i) the Originator, if the affected Mortgage
Loan's status as a non-qualified mortgage is or results from a breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by the Originator under the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, or (ii) the Depositor, if the affected Mortgage Loan's
status as a non-qualified mortgage is a breach of no representation or warranty.
Any such repurchase or substitution shall be made in the same manner as set
forth in Sections 2.03(a). The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor or the
Originator, as the case may be, the Mortgage Loan to be released pursuant hereto
in the same manner, and on the same terms and conditions, as it would a Mortgage
Loan repurchased by the Seller or the Originator for breach of a representation
or warranty.
SECTION 2.04. [Reserved].

ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
SECTION 3.01. Master Servicer to Act as Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage
Loans on behalf of the Trustee and in the best interests of and for the benefit
of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Master Servicer in its
reasonable judgment) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
respective Mortgage Loans and, to the extent consistent with such terms, in the
same manner in which it services and administers similar mortgage loans for its
own portfolio, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of
practice of prudent mortgage lenders until the Mortgage Loan is delinquent 90
days, and then following the Loss Mitigation Procedures or loan servicers
administering similar mortgage loans but, in each case, without regard to:
(i) any relationship that the Master Servicer, any
Sub-Servicer or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer may have with the related Mortgagor;
(ii) the ownership of any Certificate by the Master Servicer
or any Affiliate of the Master Servicer;
(iii) the Master Servicer's obligation to make P&I Advances or
Servicing Advances; or
(iv) the Master Servicer's or any Sub-Servicer's right to
receive compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any
particular transaction.
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, the Master
Servicer shall also seek to maximize the timely and complete recovery of
principal and interest on the Mortgage Notes. Subject only to the
above-described servicing standards and the terms of this Agreement and of the
respective Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer shall have full power and
authority, acting alone or through Sub-Servicers as provided in Section 3.02, to
do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer in its own name or in the name
of a Sub-Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee when the
Master Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment in accordance with
the servicing standards set forth above, to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Certificateholders and the Trustee, and upon notice to the Trustee, any and
all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release
or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage
Loans and the Mortgaged Properties and to institute foreclosure proceedings or
obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure so as to convert the ownership of such
properties, and to hold or cause to be held title to such properties, on behalf
of the Trustee and Certificateholders. The Master Servicer shall service and
administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with applicable state and federal
law and shall provide to the Mortgagors any reports required to be provided to
them thereby. The Master Servicer shall also comply in the performance of this
Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each
-55-
insurer under each Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and any standard hazard
insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.17, the Trustee shall execute, at the
written request of the Master Servicer, and furnish to the Master Servicer and
any Sub-Servicer such documents as are necessary or appropriate to enable the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer to carry out their servicing and
administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby grants to the Master
Servicer a power of attorney to carry out such duties. The Trustee shall not be
liable for the actions of the Master Servicer or any Sub- Servicers under such
powers of attorney.
In accordance with the standards of the preceding paragraph,
the Master Servicer shall advance or cause to be advanced funds as necessary for
the purpose of effecting the timely payment of taxes and assessments on the
Mortgaged Properties, which advances shall be Servicing Advances reimbursable in
the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors pursuant to
Section 3.09, and further as provided in Section 3.11. Any cost incurred by the
Master Servicer or by Sub- Servicers in effecting the timely payment of taxes
and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms
of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Master Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage
Loan (except as provided in Section 4.03) and the Master Servicer shall not
permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan,
unless (i) the Master Servicer provides an Opinion of Counsel that such action
will not both (A) effect an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under
Section 1001 of the Code (or final, temporary or proposed Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder) and (B) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC under the Code or the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions"
or "contributions after the startup date" under the REMIC Provisions or (ii)
such modification, waiver or amendment is made in accordance with the terms of
Section 3.07.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Master Servicer shall not adjust the Mortgage Rate on any Mortgage Loan
notwithstanding its ability to do so pursuant to the related Mortgage Note and
shall not exercise any right it might have under the terms of any Mortgage Note
to call any Mortgage Loan.
The Master Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under
this Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release the
Master Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this
Agreement.
SECTION 3.02. Sub-Servicing Agreements Between the Master
Servicer and Sub-Servicers.
(a) The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing
Agreements (provided that such agreements would not result in a withdrawal or a
downgrading by the Rating Agency of the rating on any Class of Certificates)
with Sub-Servicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans.
-56-
Each Sub-Servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business
in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to
service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to enable
the Sub-Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Sub-
Servicing Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator
by the Federal Housing Administration or an institution the deposit accounts of
which are insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved
mortgage servicer. Each Sub-Servicing Agreement must impose on the Sub-Servicer
requirements conforming to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 and provide
for servicing of the Mortgage Loans consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
The Master Servicer will examine each Sub-Servicing Agreement and will be
familiar with the terms thereof. The terms of any Sub-Servicing Agreement will
not be inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Master
Servicer and the Sub-Servicers may enter into and make amendments to the
Sub-Servicing Agreements or enter into different forms of Sub-Servicing
Agreements; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such amendments or different forms shall
be consistent with and not violate the provisions of this Agreement, and that no
such amendment or different form shall be made or entered into which could be
reasonably expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the
Certificateholders, without the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled
to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any variation without the consent of the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights from the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority
requirements of Sub-Servicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the
Sub-Servicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the
Sub-Servicers to the Master Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent
with this Agreement and therefore prohibited. The Master Servicer shall deliver
to the Trustee copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or
modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer's execution and
delivery of such instruments.
(b) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master
Servicer (except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph),
for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall enforce the
obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and
of the Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including, without
limitation, any obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as
required by a Sub- Servicing Agreement, or to purchase a Mortgage Loan on
account of missing or defective documentation or on account of a breach of a
representation, warranty or covenant, as described in Section 2.03(a). Such
enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims,
termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements, and the pursuit of other appropriate
remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such
time as the Master Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require
were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. The Master Servicer shall pay
the costs of such enforcement at its own expense, and shall be reimbursed
therefor only (i) from a general recovery resulting from such enforcement, to
the extent, if any, that such recovery exceeds all amounts due in respect of the
related Mortgage Loans, or (ii) from a specific recovery of costs, expenses or
attorneys' fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.
SECTION 3.03. Successor Sub-Servicers.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to terminate any
Sub-Servicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Sub-Servicer
pursuant to any Sub-Servicing Agreement in
-57-
accordance with the terms and conditions of such Sub-Servicing Agreement. In the
event of termination of any Sub-Servicer, all servicing obligations of such
Sub-Servicer shall be assumed simultaneously by the Master Servicer without any
act or deed on the part of such Sub-Servicer or the Master Servicer, and the
Master Servicer either shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or
shall enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with a successor Sub-Servicer which
qualifies under Section 3.02.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall include the provision that
such agreement may be immediately terminated by the Trustee without fee, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that the Master
Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be the Master Servicer (including
termination due to a Master Servicer Event of Default).
SECTION 3.04. Liability of the Master Servicer.
Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Master Servicer and a Sub-Servicer or reference to actions taken through a
Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and
primarily liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and
administering of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.01 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such
Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from
the Sub-Servicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions
as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage
Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a
Sub- Servicer for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer
and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such
indemnification.
SECTION 3.05. No Contractual Relationship Between
Sub-Servicers and Trustee or Certificateholders.
Any Sub-Servicing Agreement that may be entered into and any
transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a Sub-Servicer
in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the Sub-Servicer and the
Master Servicer alone, and the Trustee and Certificateholders shall not be
deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or
liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer except as set forth in Section
3.06. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any
Sub-Servicer, irrespective of whether the Master Servicer's compensation
pursuant to this Agreement is sufficient to pay such fees.
SECTION 3.06. Assumption or Termination of Sub-Servicing
Agreements by Trustee.
In the event the Master Servicer shall for any reason no
longer be the master servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of a Master
Servicer Event of Default), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume
all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under each
Sub-Servicing Agreement that the Master Servicer may have entered into, unless
the Trustee elects to terminate any Sub-Servicing Agreement in accordance with
its terms as provided in Section 3.03. Upon such assumption, the Trustee, its
designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee appointed
-58-
pursuant to Section 7.02 shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have
assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced the
Master Servicer as a party to each Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as
if each Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except
that (i) the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or
obligations under any Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) none of the Trustee, its
designee or any successor Master Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any
liability or obligation of the Master Servicer that arose before it ceased to be
the Master Servicer.
The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the
Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced and an
accounting of amounts collected and held by or on behalf of it, and otherwise
use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-
Servicing Agreements to the assuming party.
SECTION 3.07. Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.
The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect
all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans,
and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this
Agreement, the terms and provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy and any applicable insurance policies, follow such collection procedures
as it would follow with respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage
Loans and held for its own account. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master
Servicer may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or, if
applicable, penalty interest, only upon determining that the coverage of such
Mortgage Loan by the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, will not
be affected, or (ii) extend the due dates for Monthly Payments due on a Mortgage
Note for a period of not greater than 180 days; provided that any extension
pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not affect the amortization schedule of any
Mortgage Loan for purposes of any computation hereunder, except as provided
below. In the event of any such arrangement pursuant to clause (ii) above, the
Master Servicer shall make timely advances on such Mortgage Loan during such
extension pursuant to Section 4.03 and in accordance with the amortization
schedule of such Mortgage Loan without modification thereof by reason of such
arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Mortgage Loan
is in default or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is
reasonably foreseeable, the Master Servicer, consistent with the standards set
forth in Section 3.01, may also accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an
amount less than the Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such
Mortgage Loan (such payment, a "Short Pay-off") or consent to the postponement
of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant indulgence to any
Mortgagor; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in determining which course of action
permitted by this sentence it shall pursue, the Master Servicer shall adhere to
the Loss Mitigation Procedures. The Master Servicer's analysis supporting any
forbearance and the conclusion that any forbearance meets the standards of
Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing in the Mortgage File.
SECTION 3.08. Sub-Servicing Accounts.
In those cases where a Sub-Servicer is servicing a Mortgage
Loan pursuant to a Sub- Servicing Agreement, the Sub-Servicer will be required
to establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the "Sub-Servicing
Account"). The Sub-Servicing Account shall be an
-59-
Eligible Account and shall comply with all requirements of this Agreement
relating to the Collection Account. The Sub-Servicer shall deposit in the
clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than two Business Days after the Sub-Servicer's receipt thereof, all
proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by the Sub- Servicer less its servicing
compensation to the extent permitted by the Sub-Servicing Agreement, and shall
thereafter deposit such amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account, in no event more
than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account.
The Sub-Servicer shall thereafter deposit such proceeds in the Collection
Account or remit such proceeds to the Master Servicer for deposit in the
Collection Account not later than two Business Days after the deposit of such
amounts in the Sub-Servicing Account. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer shall be deemed to have received payments on the Mortgage Loans when
the Sub-Servicer receives such payments.
SECTION 3.09. Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar
Items; Servicing Accounts.
The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more
accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"), into which all collections from the
Mortgagors (or related advances from Sub-Servicers) for the payment of ground
rents, taxes, assessments, primary mortgage insurance premiums, fire and hazard
insurance premiums, water charges, sewer rents and comparable items for the
account of the Mortgagors ("Escrow Payments") shall be deposited and retained.
Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts. The Master Servicer shall deposit
in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in which it
customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in connection
with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in no event
more than two Business Days after the Master Servicer's receipt thereof, all
Escrow Payments collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall thereafter
deposit such Escrow Payments in the Servicing Accounts, in no event more than
one Business Day after the deposit of such funds in the clearing account, for
the purpose of effecting the payment of any such items as required under the
terms of this Agreement. Withdrawals of amounts from a Servicing Account may be
made only to (i) effect payment of Escrow Payments; (ii) reimburse the Master
Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer to the extent provided in the related Sub-Servicing
Agreement) out of related collections for any advances made pursuant to Section
3.01 (with respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.14 (with respect to
hazard insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to
be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and as described below, to
Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account; (v) clear and terminate the
Servicing Account at the termination of the Master Servicer's obligations and
responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement in
accordance with Article IX; or (vi) recover amounts deposited in error. As part
of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer or Sub-Servicers shall pay to the
Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by
law and, to the extent that interest earned on funds in the Servicing Accounts
is insufficient, to pay such interest from its or their own funds, without any
reimbursement therefor. To the extent that a Mortgage does not provide for
Escrow Payments, the Master Servicer shall determine whether any such payments
are made by the Mortgagor in a manner and at a time that avoids the loss of the
Mortgaged Property due to a tax sale or the foreclosure of a tax lien. The
Master Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such bills
and shall effect payments of all such bills irrespective of the Mortgagor's
-60-
faithful performance in the payment of same or the making of the Escrow Payments
and shall make advances from its own funds to effect such payments.
SECTION 3.10. Collection Account and Distribution Account.
(a) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall
establish and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the
"Collection Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders. On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited in the clearing account (which account must be
an Eligible Account) in which it customarily deposits payments and collections
on mortgage loans in connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a
daily basis, and in no event more than two Business Days after the Master
Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the Collection
Account, in no event more than one Business Day after the deposit of such funds
into the clearing account, as and when received or as otherwise required
hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by it from
and after the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or interest on
the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or payments
(other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off
Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related
Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other
than proceeds collected in respect of any particular REO Property and
amounts paid by the Master Servicer in connection with a purchase of
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties pursuant to Section 9.01);
(iv) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.12 in connection with any losses realized on Permitted Investments
with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master
Servicer pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.14(a) in respect
of any blanket policy deductibles;
(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or
purchased in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 9.01; and
(vii) all amounts required to be deposited in connection with
shortfalls in principal amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
pursuant to Section 2.03.
For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the
Cut-off Date with respect to any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan shall be
deemed to be the date of substitution.
-61-
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection
Accounts shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment
charges or assumption fees need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the
Collection Account. In the event the Master Servicer shall deposit in the
Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at
any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein
to the contrary notwithstanding. To the extent that the Master Servicer
incorrectly applies any curtailment on any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer
may withdraw such amount from the Collection Account to the extent of future
curtailments.
(b) On behalf of the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall establish
and maintain one or more accounts (such account or accounts, the "Distribution
Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. On behalf of
the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee in immediately
available funds for deposit in the Distribution Account on or before 12:00 p.m.
New York time (i) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, that portion of the
Available Distribution Amount (calculated without regard to the references in
clause (2) of the definition thereof to amounts that may be withdrawn from the
Distribution Account) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the
Collection Account and the amount of any funds reimbursable to an Advancing
Person pursuant to Section 3.26, and (ii) on each Business Day as of the
commencement of which the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds
$75,000 following any withdrawals pursuant to the next succeeding sentence, the
amount of such excess, but only if the Collection Account constitutes an
Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of "Eligible
Account." If the balance on deposit in the Collection Account exceeds $75,000 as
of the commencement of business on any Business Day and the Collection Account
constitutes an Eligible Account solely pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition
of "Eligible Account," the Master Servicer shall, on or before 3:00 p.m. New
York time on such Business Day, withdraw from the Collection Account any and all
amounts payable or reimbursable to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, the Seller or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to Section 3.11 and shall pay
such amounts to the Persons entitled thereto.
(c) Funds in the Collection Account and the Distribution
Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the
provisions set forth in Section 3.12. The Master Servicer shall give notice to
the Trustee and the Depositor of the location of the Collection Account
maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Trustee
shall give notice to the Master Servicer and the Depositor of the location of
the Distribution Account when established and prior to any change thereof.
(d) Funds held in the Collection Account at any time may be
delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee for deposit in an account (which
may be the Distribution Account and must satisfy the standards for the
Distribution Account as set forth in the definition thereof) and for all
purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a part of the Collection
Account; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee shall have the sole authority to
withdraw any funds held pursuant to this subsection (d). In the event the Master
Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time request that
the Trustee withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account and remit to it
any such amount, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In
addition, the Master Servicer shall deliver
-62-
to the Trustee from time to time for deposit, and upon written notification from
the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall so deposit, in the Distribution Account:
(i) any P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03,
unless delivered directly to the Trustee by an Advancing Person;
(ii) any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section
3.23(d) or (f) in connection with any REO Property;
(iii) any amounts to be paid by the Master Servicer in
connection with a purchase of Mortgage Loans and REO Properties
pursuant to Section 9.01; and

connection with losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds
held in the Collection Account.
SECTION 3.11. Withdrawals from the Collection Account and
Distribution Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, from time to time, make
withdrawals from the Collection Account for any of the following purposes or as
described in Section 4.03:
(i) to remit to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution
Account the amounts required to be so remitted pursuant to Section
3.10(b) or permitted to be so remitted pursuant to the first sentence
of Section 3.10(d);
(ii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to reimburse the Master

which represent Late Collections (net of the related Servicing Fees) of
Monthly Payments on Mortgage Loans with respect to which such P&I
Advances were made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03;
(iii) subject to Section 3.16(d), to pay the Master Servicer
or any Sub-Servicer (A) any unpaid Servicing Fees, (B) any unreimbursed
Servicing Advances with respect to each Mortgage Loan, but only to the
extent of any Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or other amounts
as may be collected by the Master Servicer from a Mortgagor, or
otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan and (C) any
nonrecoverable Servicing Advances following the final liquidation of a
Mortgage Loan, but only to the extent that Late Collections,
Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds received with respect to
such Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer or
any Sub-Servicer for such Servicing Advances;
-63-
(iv) to pay to the Master Servicer as servicing compensation
(in addition to the Servicing Fee) on the Master Servicer Remittance
Date any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the
Collection Account;
(v) to pay to the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the

purchase or substitution, as the case may be;
(vi) to reimburse the Master Servicer for any P&I Advance
previously made which the Master Servicer has determined to be a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section
4.03;
(vii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Depositor for
expenses incurred by or reimbursable to the Master Servicer or the
Depositor, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.03;
(viii) to reimburse the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the

or defect giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 of
this Agreement that were included in the Purchase Price of the Mortgage
Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the
purchase obligation;
(ix) to pay, or to reimburse the Master Servicer for advances
in respect of expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 3.16(b); and
(x) to clear and terminate the Collection Account pursuant to
Section 9.01.
The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate
accounting, on a Mortgage Loan by Mortgage Loan basis, for the purpose of
justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account, to the extent held by or
on behalf of it, pursuant to subclauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii) and
(ix) above. The Master Servicer shall provide written notification to the
Trustee, on or prior to the next succeeding Master Servicer Remittance Date,
upon making any withdrawals from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause

deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.12(c);
-64-

extent the Master Servicer would be entitled to reimbursement under
Section 3.11(a); and
(viii) to clear and terminate the Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 9.01.
SECTION 3.12. Investment of Funds in the Collection Account
and the Distribution Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Collection Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, an
"Investment Account"), and the Trustee, in its individual capacity, may direct
any depository institution maintaining the Distribution Account (for purposes of
this Section 3.12, also an "Investment Account"), to invest the funds in such
Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold
at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to
be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other
than the Trustee is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later than the date on
which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this
Agreement, if the Trustee is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments
shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in
an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity
as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be
entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of
funds held in the Collection Account and any income and gain realized thereon)
over each such investment, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing
any such investment shall be delivered directly to the Trustee or its agent,
together with any document of transfer necessary to transfer title to such
investment to the Trustee or its nominee. In the event amounts on deposit in an
Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on
demand, the Trustee shall:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given
thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such
Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal
to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the
amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
determination by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such
Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in
respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.
-65-
(b) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Collection Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer,
shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its
withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.11. The Master Servicer shall deposit in
the Collection Account the amount of any loss of principal incurred in respect
of any such Permitted Investment made with funds in such accounts immediately
upon realization of such loss.
(c) All income and gain realized from the investment of funds
deposited in the Distribution Account held by or on behalf of the Trustee, shall
be for the benefit of the Trustee and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any
time. The Trustee shall deposit in the Distribution Account, the amount of any
loss of principal incurred in respect of any such Permitted Investment made with
funds in such accounts immediately upon realization of such loss.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted
Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any
Permitted Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.01 and Section
8.02(a)(v), upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing more
than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Certificates, shall take
such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance,
including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 3.13. Maintenance of the Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policies; Collections Thereunder.
The Master Servicer will maintain or cause the related
Sub-Servicer, if any, to maintain in full force and effect, if required under
the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and to the extent available, a Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy with respect to each Mortgage Loan so insured as of
the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, on
the date of substitution). Such coverage will be maintained with respect to each
such Mortgage Loan for so long as it is outstanding, subject to any applicable
laws or until the related Loan-to-Value Ratio is reduced to less than or equal
to 80% based on Mortgagor payments. The Master Servicer shall cause the premium
for each Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy to be paid on a timely basis and
shall pay such premium out of its own funds if it is not otherwise paid. The
Master Servicer or the related Sub-Servicer, if any, will not cancel or refuse
to renew any such Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in effect on the Closing
Date (or, in the case of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, on the date of
substitution) that is required to be kept in force under this Agreement unless a
replacement Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy for such canceled or non-renewed
policy is obtained from and maintained with a Qualified Insurer.
The Master Servicer shall not take, or permit any Sub-Servicer
to take, any action which would result in non-coverage under any applicable
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy of any loss which, but for the actions of the
Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer, would have been covered thereunder. The Master
Servicer will comply in the performance of this Agreement with all reasonable
rules and requirements of each insurer under each Primary Mortgage Insurance
Policy. In connection with any assumption and modification agreement or
substitution of liability agreement entered into or to be entered into pursuant
to Section 3.15, the Master Servicer shall promptly notify
-66-
the insurer under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any, of such
assumption in accordance with the terms of such policies and shall take all
actions which may be required by such insurer as a condition to the continuation
of coverage under the Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy. If any such Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy is terminated as a result of such assumption, the
Master Servicer or the related Sub-Servicer shall obtain a replacement Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy as provided above.
In connection with its activities as administrator and
servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and
present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to
the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in
accordance with the terms of such policies and, in this regard, to take such
action as shall be necessary to permit recovery under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy respecting a defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any amounts collected by
the Master Servicer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy shall be
deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.11; and any amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any Primary
Mortgage Insurance Policy in respect of any REO Property shall be deposited in
the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23. In those
cases in which a Mortgage Loan is serviced by a Sub-Servicer, the Sub-Servicer,
on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Certificateholders, will present
claims to the insurer under any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and all
collections thereunder shall be deposited initially in the Sub-Servicing
Account.
SECTION 3.14. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance and Errors and
Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) The Master Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
Mortgage Loan fire insurance with extended coverage on the related Mortgaged
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the least of (i) the current
principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, (ii) the amount necessary to fully
compensate for any damage or loss to the improvements that are a part of such
property on a replacement cost basis and (iii) the maximum insurable value of
the improvements which are a part of such Mortgaged Property, in each case in an
amount not less than such amount as is necessary to avoid the application of any
coinsurance clause contained in the related hazard insurance policy. The Master
Servicer shall also cause to be maintained fire insurance with extended coverage
on each REO Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i)
the maximum insurable value of the improvements which are a part of such
property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan
at the time it became an REO Property, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage
Rate and related Servicing Advances. The Master Servicer will comply in the
performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each
insurer under any such hazard policies. Any amounts to be collected by the
Master Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the
restoration or repair of the property subject to the related Mortgage or amounts
to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the procedures that the
Master Servicer would follow in servicing loans held for its own account,
subject to the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note)
shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to
Section 3.11, if received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account,
subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.23, if received in respect of an REO
Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such
insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal
-67-
balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no earthquake or other
additional insurance is to be required of any Mortgagor other than pursuant to
such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as
shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property is at any time in an area identified in the Federal Register by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the Master
Servicer will cause to be maintained a flood insurance policy in respect
thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i)
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the maximum
amount of such insurance available for the related Mortgaged Property under the
national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such Mortgaged
Property is located is participating in such program).
In the event that the Master Servicer shall obtain and
maintain a blanket policy with an insurer having a General Policy Rating of B+:V
or better in Best's Key Rating Guide (or such other rating that is comparable to
such rating) insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, it
shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligations as set forth in
the first two sentences of this Section 3.14, it being understood and agreed
that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master
Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the
related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy complying with the first two
sentences of this Section 3.14, and there shall have been one or more losses
which would have been covered by such policy, deposit to the Collection Account
from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy
because of such deductible clause. In connection with its activities as
administrator and servicer of the Mortgage Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to
prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders,
claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the
terms of such policy.
(b) The Master Servicer shall keep in force during the term of
this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions
for failure in the performance of the Master Servicer's obligations under this
Agreement, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would
meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of
the Mortgage Loans, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver of such
requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Master Servicer shall also
maintain a fidelity bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements
of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac, unless the Master Servicer has obtained a waiver
of such requirements from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. The Master Servicer shall
provide the Trustee (upon the Trustee's reasonable request) with copies of any
such insurance policies and fidelity bond. The Master Servicer shall be deemed
to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of the Master Servicer has
such errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such
insurance policy or fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to
the Master Servicer. Any such errors and omissions policy and fidelity bond
shall by its terms not be cancellable without thirty days' prior written notice
to the Trustee. The Master Servicer shall also cause each Sub-Servicer to
maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and omissions and a fidelity bond
which would meet such requirements.
-68-
SECTION 3.15. Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements.
The Master Servicer will, to the extent it has knowledge of
any conveyance or prospective conveyance of any Mortgaged Property by any
Mortgagor (whether by absolute conveyance or by contract of sale, and whether or
not the Mortgagor remains or is to remain liable under the Mortgage Note and/or
the Mortgage), exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage
Loan under the "dueon-sale" clause, if any, applicable thereto; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such rights if
prohibited by law from doing so. If the Master Servicer reasonably believes it
is unable under applicable law to enforce such "due-on-sale" clause, or if any
of the other conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence
apply, the Master Servicer will enter into an assumption and modification
agreement from or with the person to whom such property has been conveyed or is
proposed to be conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the
Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the
Mortgagor remains liable thereon. 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 the Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note,
provided that no such substitution shall be effective unless such person
satisfies the underwriting criteria of the Master Servicer. In connection with
any assumption or substitution, the Master Servicer shall apply such
underwriting standards and follow such practices and procedures as shall be
normal and usual in its general mortgage servicing activities and as it applies
to other mortgage loans owned solely by it. The Master Servicer shall not take
or enter into any assumption and modification agreement, however, unless (to the
extent practicable in the circumstances) it shall have received confirmation, in
writing, of the continued effectiveness of any hazard insurance policy, or a new
policy meeting the requirements of Section 3.14 is obtained. Any fee collected
by the Master Servicer in respect of an assumption or substitution of liability
agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation. In connection with any such assumption, no material term of the
Mortgage Note (including but not limited to the related Mortgage Rate and the
amount of the Monthly Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise
required pursuant to the terms thereof. The Master Servicer shall notify the
Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Trustee the executed original of such substitution or
assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File
and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision
of this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default,
breach or any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any
assumption of a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or by the terms of the
Mortgage Note or any assumption which the Master Servicer may be restricted by
law from preventing, for any reason whatever. For purposes of this Section 3.15,
the term "assumption" is deemed to also include a sale (of the Mortgaged
Property) subject to the Mortgage that is not accompanied by an assumption or
substitution of liability agreement.
-69-
SECTION 3.16. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall, consistent with the servicing
standard set forth in Section 3.01, foreclose upon or otherwise comparably
convert the ownership of properties securing such of the Mortgage Loans as come
into and continue in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be
made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.07. The Master
Servicer shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by it in any
such proceedings; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such costs and expenses will be
recoverable as Servicing Advances by the Master Servicer as contemplated in
Section 3.11 and Section 3.23. The foregoing is subject to the provision that,
in any case in which Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an
Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own
funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in its
discretion that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of
the related Mortgage Loan after reimbursement to itself for such expenses.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
3.16 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage Loan
as to which the Master Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual
knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related
Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee,
either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take any
other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any
such action, the Trustee, the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer or the
Certificateholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a
"mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of such
Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time,
or any comparable law, unless the Master Servicer has also previously
determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person
who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards,
that:
(1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic
interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are necessary to
bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and
(2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged
Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous
substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based
materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment,
clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or
local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for
which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions with respect
to the affected Mortgaged Property.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by
this Section 3.23 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the
Master Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the
rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account
received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
-70-
If the Master Servicer determines, as described above, that it
is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleumbased materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Master Servicer shall take, consistent with the servicing standard set forth
in Section 3.01, such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of
the Trust Fund. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or
remediation shall be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master
Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.11(a)(ix), such right of reimbursement being prior to the
rights of Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account
received in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan or other Mortgage Loans.
(c) The Master Servicer may at its option purchase from the
Trust Fund any Mortgage Loan on or after the 90th day on which the payment on
such Mortgage Loan was due and payable and not received, which the Master
Servicer determines in good faith will otherwise become subject to foreclosure
proceedings (evidence of such determination to be delivered in writing to the
Trustee prior to purchase), at a price equal to the Purchase Price; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Master Servicer shall purchase any such Mortgage Loans or
related REO Properties on the basis of delinquency, purchasing the most
delinquent Mortgage Loans or related REO Properties first. The Purchase Price
for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection
Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written certification from the Master
Servicer of such deposit, shall release or cause to be released to the Master
Servicer the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the
Master Servicer shall furnish and as shall be necessary to vest in the Master
Servicer title to any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
The Master Servicer may at any time relinquish its rights to
purchase delinquent Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 3.16(c) in writing
delivered to the Trustee, and from and after the taking of such action by the
Master Servicer, the provisions of this Section 3.16(c) shall no longer be of
any force or effect.
(d) Proceeds received in connection with any Final Recovery
Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial collection of
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds, in respect of any Mortgage Loan,
will be applied in the following order of priority: FIRST, to reimburse the
Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing
Advances and P&I Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(ii) or (a)(iii)(A) or
(B); SECOND, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan, to the date of
the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the Distribution
Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in connection with a
Final Recovery Determination; and THIRD, as a recovery of principal of the
Mortgage Loan. If the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less
than the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on such Mortgage Loan,
the amount of such recovery will be allocated by the Master Servicer as follows:
FIRST, to unpaid Servicing Fees; and SECOND, to the balance of the interest then
due and owing. The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid Servicing Fees
shall be reimbursed to the Master Servicer or any Sub-Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.11(a)(iii)(A).
-71-
SECTION 3.17. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the
receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be
escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer will
immediately notify the Trustee by delivery of two copies of a Request for
Release in the form of Exhibit E (which shall include a statement to the effect
that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment
which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section
3.10 have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request
delivery to it of the Mortgage File. Upon receipt of such copies of the Request
for Release, the Trustee shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to the
Master Servicer. If a Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or liquidated, the
Trustee may return the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer without
receiving a Request for Release. No expenses incurred in connection with any
instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon
request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a Request for
Release, release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and the
Trustee shall, at the direction of the Master Servicer, execute such documents
as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. Such Request
for Release shall obligate the Master Servicer to return each and every Mortgage
File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer
exists, unless the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation
Proceeds relating to the Mortgage Loan have been deposited in the Collection
Account or the Mortgage File or such document has been delivered to an attorney,
or to a public trustee or other public official as required by law, for purposes
of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings for the foreclosure
of the Mortgaged Property either judicially or non-judicially, and the Master
Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of a Servicing Officer
certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which such Mortgage File
or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.
Upon receipt of two copies of a new Request for Release stating that such
Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in
connection with such liquidation that are required to be deposited into the
Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become
an REO Property, the related Mortgage File shall not be required to be returned
to the Trustee.
(c) Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer any court pleadings,
requests for trustee's sale or other documents reasonably necessary to the
foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal
action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or
Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or
rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law
or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such
pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the
reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and
delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien
of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of
the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
-72-
SECTION 3.18. Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for the activities of the Master Servicer
hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee with
respect to each Mortgage Loan payable solely from payments of interest in
respect of such Mortgage Loan, subject to Section 3.24. In addition, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds to the extent permitted by Section
3.11(a)(iii)(A) and out of amounts derived from the operation and sale of an REO
Property to the extent permitted by Section 3.23. The right to receive the
Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection
with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption
fees, late payment charges and other similar fees and charges shall be retained
by the Master Servicer (subject to Section 3.24) only to the extent such fees or
charges are received by the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall also be
entitled pursuant to Section 3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection
Account, and pursuant to Section 3.23(b) to withdraw from any REO Account, as
additional servicing compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits
therein, subject to Section 3.12 and Section 3.24. The Master Servicer shall be
required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder (including premiums due under the Primary Insurance
Policies, if any, premiums for the insurance required by Section 3.14, to the
extent such premiums are not paid by the related Mortgagors or by a
Sub-Servicer, servicing compensation of each Sub-Servicer, and to the extent
provided herein in Section 8.05, the fees and expenses of the Trustee) and shall
not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided
herein.
SECTION 3.19. Reports to the Trustee; Collection Account
Statements.
Not later than fifteen days after each Distribution Date, the
Master Servicer shall forward to the Trustee, upon the request of the Trustee, a
statement prepared by the Master Servicer setting forth the status of the
Collection Account as of the close of business on the last day of the calendar
month relating to such Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by
such statement, the aggregate amount of deposits into and withdrawals from the
Collection Account of each category of deposit specified in Section 3.10(a) and
each category of withdrawal specified in Section 3.11. Such statement may be in
the form of the then current Xxxxxx Xxx Monthly Accounting Report for its
Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Program with appropriate additions and changes,
and shall also include information as to the aggregate of the outstanding
principal balances of all of the Mortgage Loans as of the last day of the
calendar month immediately preceding such Distribution Date. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any Certificateholder and to any
Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Certificate,
upon the request and at the expense of the requesting party, provided such
statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.20. Statement as to Compliance.
On or before March 15th of each calendar year commencing in
2004, the Master Servicer will deliver to the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Rating Agency, an Officers' Certificate (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
I) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
-73-
activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding year and of performance
under this Agreement has been made under such officers' supervision and (ii) to
the best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Master Servicer
has fulfilled all of 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 any such statement shall be provided by the Trustee to any
Certificateholder and to any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, upon the request and at the expense of the
requesting party, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee.
SECTION 3.21. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing
Report.
Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in
2004, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized
firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Master
Servicer a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation
regarding certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer which
includes an assertion that the Master Servicer has complied with certain minimum
residential mortgage loan servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers
Association of America, with respect to the servicing of residential mortgage
loans during the most recently completed fiscal year and (ii) on the basis of an
examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is
fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other
qualifications that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may
rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of residential mortgage
loans by Sub- Servicers, 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 Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report,
the Master Servicer shall furnish a copy of such report to the Trustee, the
Depositor and the Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by
the Trustee to any Certificateholder upon request at the Master Servicer's
expense, provided that such statement is delivered by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee. In the event such firm of independent certified public accountants
requires the Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the
Master Servicer shall direct the Trustee in writing to so agree; it being
understood and agreed that the Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in
conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Master Servicer, and the Trustee
has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no
obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness
of such procedures.
SECTION 3.22. Access to Certain Documentation.
The Master Servicer shall provide to the Office of the
Controller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, the FDIC, and any
other federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may
exercise authority over any Certificateholder, access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans required by applicable laws and regulations. Such
access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and
during normal business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by
it. In addition, access to the documentation regarding the Mortgage Loans
required by applicable laws and regulations will be provided to such
Certificateholder, the Trustee and to any Person identified to the Master
Servicer as a prospective
-74-
transferee of a Certificate, upon reasonable request during normal business
hours at the offices of the Master Servicer designated by it at the expense of
the Person requesting such access.
SECTION 3.23. Title, Management and Disposition of REO
Property.
(a) The deed or certificate of sale of any REO Property shall
be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee, in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and
consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01, shall either
sell any REO Property before the close of the third taxable year following the
year the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such REO Property for purposes of
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or request from the Internal Revenue Service, no
later than 60 days before the day on which the three- year grace period would
otherwise expire, an extension of the three-year grace period, unless the Master
Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect that the
holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to three years after
its acquisition will not result in the imposition on any Trust REMIC of taxes on
"prohibited transactions" thereof, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or
cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under Federal law at any
time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer shall,
consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01, manage,
conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders
solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does
not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by any
Trust 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.
(b) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds
collected and received in connection with the operation of any REO Property
separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and
maintain with respect to REO Properties an account held in trust for the Trustee
for the benefit of the Certificateholders (the "REO Account"), which shall be an
Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall be permitted to allow the Collection
Account to serve as the REO Account, subject to separate ledgers for each REO
Property. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any
interest income paid on funds deposited in the REO Account.
(c) The Master Servicer shall have full power and authority,
subject only to the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01 and the
specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all
things in connection with any REO Property as are consistent with the manner in
which the Master Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the
Master Servicer or any of its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period
as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders.
In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be
deposited in the clearing account (which account must be an Eligible Account) in
which it customarily deposits payments and collections on mortgage loans in
connection with its mortgage loan servicing activities on a daily basis, and in
no event more than two Business Days after the Master Servicer's receipt
thereof, and shall thereafter deposit in the REO Account, in no event more than
one Business Day after the deposit of such funds into the clearing account, all
revenues received by it with respect to an REO Property and shall withdraw
therefrom funds
-75-
necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO
Property including, without limitation:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such
REO Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such
REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO
Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with
respect to an REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in
clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master
Servicer shall, consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section
3.01, advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes
if, but only if, the Master Servicer would make such advances if the Master
Servicer owned the REO Property and if in the Master Servicer's judgment, the
payment of such amounts will be recoverable from the rental or sale of the REO
Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Master Servicer or
the Trustee shall:
(i) authorize the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend
any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its
terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from
Real Property;
(ii) authorize any amount to be received or accrued under any
New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real
Property;
(iii) authorize any construction on any REO Property, other
than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and
then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building
or other improvement was completed before default on the related
Mortgage Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section
856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(iv) authorize any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property
on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the
Trust Fund; unless, in any such case, the Master Servicer has obtained
an Opinion of Counsel, provided to the Trustee, to the effect that such
action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the
Code at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the
Master Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion
of Counsel.
The Master Servicer may contract with any Independent
Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be
inconsistent herewith;
-76-
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered
to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO
Property, including those listed above and remit all related revenues
(net of such costs and expenses) to the Master Servicer as soon as
practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the
receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 3.23(c) relating
to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent
Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Master Servicer of any of its
duties and obligations to the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders with respect to the operation and management of any
such REO Property; and
(iv) the Master Servicer shall be obligated with respect
thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties
and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such
REO Property.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any
agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to
its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Master Servicer
by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to
limit or modify such indemnification. The Master Servicer shall be solely liable
for all fees owed by it to any such Independent Contractor, irrespective of
whether the Master Servicer's compensation pursuant to Section 3.18 is
sufficient to pay such fees.
(d) In addition to the withdrawals permitted under Section
3.23(c), the Master Servicer may from time to time make withdrawals from the REO
Account for any REO Property: (i) to pay itself or any Sub-Servicer unpaid
Servicing Fees in respect of the related Mortgage Loan; and (ii) to reimburse
itself or any Sub-Servicer for unreimbursed Servicing Advances and P&I Advances
made in respect of such REO Property or the related Mortgage Loan. Any income
from the related REO Property received during any calendar months prior to a
Final Recovery Determination, net of any withdrawals made pursuant to Section
3.23(c) or this Section 3.23(d), shall be withdrawn by the Master Servicer from
each REO Account maintained by it and deposited into the Distribution Account in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date
relating to a Final Recovery Determination with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
for distribution on the related Distribution Date in accordance with Section
4.01.
(e) Subject to the time constraints set forth in Section
3.23(a) and consistent with the servicing standard set forth in Section 3.01,
each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Master Servicer at such price
and upon such terms and conditions as the Master Servicer shall deem necessary
or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing activities
for similar properties.
(f) The proceeds from the REO Disposition, net of any amount
required by law to be remitted to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan
and net of any payment or reimbursement to the Master Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer as provided above, shall be deposited in the Distribution Account
in accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance
-77-
Date in the month following the receipt thereof for distribution on the related
Distribution Date in accordance with Section 4.01. Any REO Disposition shall be
for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the
Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).
(g) The Master Servicer shall file information returns with
respect to the receipt of mortgage interest received in a trade or business,
reports of foreclosures and abandonments of any Mortgaged Property and
cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property as
required by Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code, respectively. Such
reports shall be in form and substance sufficient to meet the reporting
requirements imposed by such Sections 6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
SECTION 3.24. Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit
into the Distribution Account on or before 12:00 p.m. New York time on the
Master Servicer Remittance Date from its own funds an amount equal to the lesser
of (i) the aggregate of the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related
Distribution Date resulting from full or partial Principal Prepayments during
the related Prepayment Period and (ii) the amount of its aggregate Servicing Fee
for the most recently ended calendar month.
SECTION 3.25. Obligations of the Master Servicer in Respect of
Monthly Payments.
In the event that a shortfall in any collection on or
liability with respect to any Mortgage Loan results from or is attributable to
adjustments to Stated Principal Balances that were made by the Master Servicer
in a manner not consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Note and this
Agreement, the Master Servicer, upon discovery or receipt of notice thereof,
immediately shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account
from its own funds the amount of any such shortfall and shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Depositor and any successor master
servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive the
termination or discharge of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.26. Advance Facility.
(a) Either (i) the Master Servicer or (ii) the Trustee, on
behalf of the Trust Fund, with the consent of the Master Servicer, is hereby
authorized to enter into a facility with any Person which provides that such
Person (an "Advancing Person") may fund P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances
to the Trust Fund under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce
or otherwise affect the Master Servicer's obligation to fund such P&I Advances
and/or Servicing Advances. If the Master Servicer enters into such an Advance
Facility pursuant to this Section 3.26, upon reasonable request of the Advancing
Person, the Trustee shall execute a letter of acknowledgment, confirming its
receipt of notice of the existence of such Advance Facility. If the Trustee
enters into such an Advance Facility pursuant to this Section 3.26, the Master
Servicer shall also be a party to such Advance Facility. To the extent that an
Advancing Person funds any P&I Advance or any Servicing Advance and provides the
Trustee with notice acknowledged by the
-78-
Master Servicer that such Advancing Person is entitled to reimbursement, such
Advancing Person shall be entitled to receive reimbursement pursuant to this
Agreement for such amount to the extent provided in Section 3.26(b). Such notice
from the Advancing Person must specify the amount of the reimbursement, the
Section of this Agreement that permits the applicable P&I Advance or Servicing
Advance to be reimbursed and the section(s) of the Advance Facility that entitle
the Advancing Person to request reimbursement from the Trustee, rather than the
Master Servicer, and include the Master Servicer's acknowledgment thereto or
proof of an Event of Default under the Advance Facility. The Trustee shall have
no duty or liability with respect to any calculation of any reimbursement to be
paid to an Advancing Person and shall be entitled to rely without independent
investigation on the Advancing Person's notice provided pursuant to this Section
3.26. An Advancing Person whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding
of P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the
qualifications of a Master Servicer or a Sub- Servicer pursuant to Section 3.02
hereof and will not be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer under this Agreement.
(b) If an advancing facility is entered into, then the Master
Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself therefor under Section
3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Section 3.11(a)(vi) prior to the
remittance to the Trust Fund, but instead the Master Servicer shall include such
amounts in the applicable remittance to the Trustee made pursuant to Section
3.11(a). The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay to the Advancing Person,
reimbursements for P&I Advances and Servicing Advances from the Distribution
Account to the same extent the Master Servicer would have been permitted to
reimburse itself for such P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances in accordance
with Section 3.11(a)(ii), Section 3.11(a)(iii) and Section 3.11(a)(vi), as the
case may be, had the Master Servicer itself funded such P&I Advance or Servicing
Advance. The Trustee is hereby authorized to pay directly to the Advancing
Person such portion of the Servicing Fee as the parties to any advancing
facility agree in writing.
(c) All P&I Advances and Servicing Advances made pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed made and shall be reimbursed on a
"first in-first out" (FIFO) basis.
(d) Any amendment to this Section 3.26 or to any other
provision of this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the
terms of an Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 3.26,
including amendments to add provisions relating to a successor master servicer,
may be entered into by the Trustee and the Master Servicer without the consent
of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement.

Realized Losses, in each case allocated to such Class of Certificates, on such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.04.
(b)(i) On each Distribution Date, the aggregate distributions
of principal made on such date in respect of the Subordinate Certificates
pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(1)(vii) above shall be applied among the various

Certificates with the lowest numerical designation to the Class of Subordinate
Certificates with the highest numerical designation, in each case to the extent
of remaining available funds up to the amount allocable to such Class for such
Distribution Date and in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of
each such Class is reduced to zero, in an amount with respect to each such Class
equal to the sum of (X) the related Class B Percentage of the amounts described
in clauses (i) through (v) of clause (a) of the definition of Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount, (Y) the portion of the amounts described in
clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of Subordinate Principal

below and (Z) the excess, if any, of the amount required to be distributed to
such Class pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)(i) for the immediately preceding
Distribution Date, over the aggregate distributions of principal made in respect
of such Class of Certificates on such immediately preceding Distribution Date
pursuant to Section 4.01 to the extent that any such excess is not attributable
to Realized Losses which were allocated to Subordinate Certificates with a lower
priority pursuant to Section 4.04.
(ii) On any Distribution Date, the portion of (a) all net
Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Mortgage Loans
that were the subject of a Final Recovery Determination in the related
Prepayment Period and (b) all Principal Prepayments received in respect of the
Mortgage Loans in the related Prepayment Period, allocable to principal and not

Classes of Subordinate Certificates (each, an "Eligible Class") in proportion to
the respective outstanding Certificate Principal Balances thereof: (i) the Class

the aggregate percentage interest in the Trust Fund evidenced by the Class B-2
Certificates, the Class B-3 Certificates, the Class B-4 Certificates, the Class
B-5 Certificates and the Class B-6 Certificates equal or exceeds
3.100066747987680% before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution
Date, (iii) the Class B-3 Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the
aggregate percentage interest in the Trust Fund evidenced by the Class B-3

Date the percentage interest in the Trust Fund evidenced by the Class B-6
Certificates equals or exceeds 0.600208059219767% before giving effect to
distributions on such Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
application of the foregoing on any Distribution Date as provided in Section
4.01 would result in a distribution in respect of principal to any Class or
Classes of Subordinate Certificates in an amount greater than the remaining
Certificate Principal Balance thereof (any such Class, a "Maturing Class") then:
(a) the amount to be allocated to each Maturing Class shall be reduced to a
level that, when applied as described above, would exactly reduce the
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class to zero and (b) the total amount of
the reductions pursuant to clause (a) above in the amount to be allocated to the
Maturing Class or Classes shall be allocated among the remaining Eligible
Classes on a PRO RATA basis in proportion to the respective outstanding
Certificate Principal Balances thereof prior to the allocation thereto of any of
the amounts described in the preceding sentence. Furthermore, if a Class of
Class B Certificates is not an Eligible Class, any amounts allocable to
principal and distributable pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)(ii) will be
distributed among the Class B Certificates that are Eligible Classes in the
manner set forth above.
(c) All distributions made with respect to each Class of
Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated PRO RATA among the
outstanding Certificates in such Class based
-82-
on their respective Percentage Interests. Payments in respect of each Class of
Certificates on each Distribution Date will be made to the Holders of the
respective Class of record on the related Record Date (except as otherwise
provided in Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution on such Class), based
on the aggregate Percentage Interest represented by their respective
Certificates, and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to the account of any such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate
facilities therefor, if such Holder shall have so notified the Trustee in
writing at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date immediately prior
to such Distribution Date or otherwise by check mailed by first class mail to
the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final
distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon
presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or
such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate
shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its
Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Depositor
or the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as
otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.
(d) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive
distributions in respect of the Certificates, and all interests of the
Certificateholders in such distributions, shall be as set forth in this
Agreement. None of the Holders of any Class of Certificates, the Trustee or the
Master Servicer shall in any way be responsible or liable to the Holders of any
other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly previously
distributed on the Certificates.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the
Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of
Certificates will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, no
later than five days after the related Determination Date, mail on such date to
each Holder of such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution with
respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution
Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at
the office of the Trustee therein specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and
after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of
Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of
such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set
aside and held in trust by the Trustee and credited to the account of the
appropriate nontendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which
notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(e) shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such
notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-
-83-
tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in
order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year
after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Trustee shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final
notice to remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of
their Certificates and shall continue to hold any remaining funds for the
benefit of non-tendering Certificateholders. The costs and expenses of
maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall
be paid out of the assets remaining in such trust fund. If within one year after
the final notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. all such
amounts, and all rights of non-tendering Certificateholders in or to such
amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any
Certificateholder on any amount held in trust by the Trustee as a result of such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(e).

a Remittance Report with respect to the related Distribution Date. Such
Remittance Report will include (i) the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the

Distribution Date.
-87-
On or before 12:00 p.m. New York time on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall remit in immediately available funds
to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, to be made in respect of the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties for the related Distribution Date either (i) from its
own funds or (ii) from the Collection Account, to the extent of funds held
therein for future distribution (in which case, it will cause to be made an
appropriate entry in the records of Collection Account that amounts held for
future distribution have been, as permitted by this Section 4.03, used by the
Master Servicer in discharge of any such P&I Advance) or (iii) in the form of
any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to
be made by the Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans and REO
Properties. Any amounts held for future distribution and so used shall be
appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer's records and replaced by the
Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future
Master Servicer Remittance Date to the extent that the Available Distribution
Amount for the related Distribution Date (determined without regard to P&I
Advances to be made on the Master Servicer Remittance Date) shall be less than
the total amount that would be distributed to the Classes of Certificateholders
pursuant to Section 4.01 on such Distribution Date if such amounts held for
future distributions had not been so used to make P&I Advances. The Trustee will
provide notice to the Master Servicer by telecopy by the close of business on
the Master Servicer Remittance Date in the event that the amount remitted by the
Master Servicer to the Trustee on such Master Servicer Remittance Date is less
than the P&I Advances required to be made by the Master Servicer for the related
Distribution Date.
(c) The obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I
Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but
subject to (d) below, and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property,
shall continue until a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith or
the removal thereof from REMIC I pursuant to any applicable provision of this
Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Section.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I
Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Master Servicer if such
P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. The
determination by the Master Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I
Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of
the Master Servicer delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee.
SECTION 4.04. Allocation of Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses
and Realized Losses.
(a) Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall
determine as to each Mortgage Loan and REO Property: (i) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Final Recovery
Determinations made during the related Prepayment Period; (ii) whether and the
extent to which such Realized Losses constituted Fraud Losses or Special Hazard
Losses; and (iii) the respective portions of such Realized Losses allocable to
interest and allocable to principal. Prior to each Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer shall also determine as to each Mortgage Loan: (A) the total amount of
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with any Deficient Valuations
made during the related Prepayment Period; and (B) the total amount of
-88-
Realized Losses, if any, incurred in connection with Debt Service Reductions in
respect of Monthly Payments due during the related Due Period. The information
described in the two preceding sentences that is to be supplied by the Master
Servicer shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee
by the Master Servicer prior to the Determination Date immediately following the
end of (x) in the case of Bankruptcy Losses allocable to interest, the Due
Period during which any such Realized Loss was incurred, and (y) in the case of
all other Realized Losses, the Prepayment Period during which any such Realized
Loss was incurred.
(b) With respect to the REMIC I Regular Interests, all
Realized Losses shall be applied in the same manner and in the same priority as
such Realized Losses are applied to the Corresponding Certificates as set forth
in (c) below.
(c) All Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans (other than
Excess Losses) shall be allocated by the Trustee on each Distribution Date as
follows: first, to the Class B-6 Certificates; second, to the Class B-5
Certificates; third, to the Class B-4 Certificates; fourth, to the Class B-3
Certificates; fifth, to the Class B-2 Certificates; and sixth, to the Class B-1
Certificates, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has
been reduced to zero. Thereafter, upon the reduction of the Certificate
Principal Balances of the Subordinate Certificates to zero, if Realized Losses
are on a Class IO Mortgage Loan, such Realized Losses will be allocated on any
Distribution Date first, to any amounts on deposit in the Excess Diverted
Interest Reserve Account and second, to the Class A-1 Certificates, if the
Realized Loss is on a Group I Mortgage Loan and to the Group II Class A
Certificates (on a PRO RATA basis based on the Certificate Principal Balance of
each such Class), if the Realized Loss is on a Group II Mortgage Loan. If
Realized Losses are on a Class PO Mortgage Loan, such Realized Losses will be
allocated first, to any amounts on deposit in the Excess Diverted Interest
Reserve Account, second, to the Class PO-1 Certificates, if the Realized Loss is
on a Group I Mortgage Loan and to the Class PO-2 Certificates, if the Realized
Loss is on a Group II Mortgage Loan, in each case, in an amount equal to the
related Class PO Percentage of the Realized Losses and third, the remainder of
the Realized Losses will be allocated on any Distribution Date to the Class A-1
Certificates, if the Realized Loss is on a Group I Mortgage Loan and to the
Group II Class A Certificates (on a PRO RATA basis based on the Certificate
Principal Balance of each such Class), if the Realized Loss is on a Group II
Mortgage Loan. If a Realized Loss is allocated to the Excess Diverted Interest
Reserve Account, the Trustee shall pay the Group I Excess Diverted Interest
Reserve Deposit or the Group II Excess Diverted Interest Reserve Deposit, as
applicable, to the Available Distribution Amount to which the Realized Loss
relates.
Excess Losses on a Class IO Mortgage Loan shall be allocated
on any Distribution Date by allocating the related Senior Percentage of the
Excess Loss to the Class A-1 Certificates, if the Realized Loss is on a Group I
Mortgage Loan and to the Group II Class A Certificates (on a PRO RATA basis
based on the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class), if the Realized
Loss is on a Group II Mortgage Loan, and the Group I Subordinate Percentage or
the Group II Subordinate Percentage, as applicable, of the Excess Loss to the
Subordinate Certificates. Excess Losses on a Class PO Mortgage Loan will be
allocated to the Class PO-1 Certificates, if the Realized Loss is on a Group II
Mortgage Loan and to the Class PO-2 Certificates, if the Realized Loss is on a
Group II Mortgage Loan, in an amount equal to the related Class PO Percentage of
the Excess Losses and the remainder of the Excess Losses will be allocated on
any Distribution Date to the Class A Certificates by allocating the related
Senior Percentage of the Excess Loss to the Class A-1 Certificates, if the
-89-
Realized Loss is on a Group I Mortgage Loan and to the Group II Class A
Certificates (on a PRO RATA basis based on the Certificate Principal Balance of
each such Class), if the Realized Loss is on a Group II Mortgage Loan, and the
Group I Subordinate Percentage or the Group II Subordinate Percentage, as
applicable, of the Excess Loss to the Subordinate Certificates.
Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses shall be allocated on any
Distribution Date as follows: first, to the Class B-6 Certificates; second, to
the Class B-5 Certificates; third, to the Class B-4 Certificates; fourth, to the
Class B-3 Certificates; fifth, to the Class B-2 Certificates; and sixth, to the
Class B-1 Certificates, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of
the related Class has been reduced to zero. Thereafter, the Extraordinary Trust
Fund Expenses will be allocated on any Distribution Date among the Group I
Senior Certificates (other than the Class S-1 Certificates and the Class IO-1
Certificates) or the Group II Senior Certificates (other than the Class S-1
Certificates and the Class IO-2 Certificates), as applicable, on a PRO RATA
basis.
As used herein, an allocation of a Realized Loss or
Extraordinary Trust Fund Expense on a "PRO RATA basis" among two or more
specified Classes of Certificates means an allocation on a PRO RATA basis, among
the various Classes so specified, to each such Class of Certificates on the
basis of their then outstanding Certificate Principal Balances prior to giving
effect to distributions to be made on such Distribution Date. All Realized
Losses and all other losses allocated to a Class of Certificates hereunder will
be allocated among the Certificates of such Class in proportion to the
Percentage Interests evidenced thereby.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no
event shall the Certificate Principal Balance of a Class A Certificate be
reduced more than once in respect of any particular amount both (i) allocable to
such Certificate in respect of Realized Losses or Extraordinary Trust Fund
Expenses pursuant to Section 4.04 and (ii) payable to the Holder of such
Certificate pursuant to Section 4.01(a) as a portion of the related Senior
Principal Distribution Amount.
SECTION 4.05. Compliance with Withholding Requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting
payments to Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the
Trustee reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the
Trustee does withhold 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
Certificateholders.
SECTION 4.06. Distributions on the REMIC I Regular Interests.
Interest shall be distributable to the REMIC I Regular
Interests in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Interest
Distribution Amounts distributable to the Regular Certificates pursuant to
Section 4.01; provided, however, that REMIC I Regular Xxxxxxxx XX-X0 shall be
entitled to the aggregate amount of the Interest Distribution Amounts
distributable to the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class S-1 Certificates and
REMIC I Regular Xxxxxxxx XX-X0, REMIC I Regular Interest LT-A3 and REMIC I
Regular Xxxxxxxx XX-X0 shall be entitled to the aggregate amount of the
-90-
Interest Distribution Amounts distributable to the Group II Class A Certificates
and the Class S-2 Certificates . Principal shall be distributable to, and
shortfalls, losses and prepayments are allocable to, the REMIC I Regular
Interests as such amounts are distributable and allocable to the Corresponding
Certificates.
SECTION 4.07. Commission Reporting.
(a) The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall reasonably
cooperate with the Depositor in connection with satisfying the reporting
requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). The Trustee shall prepare on behalf of the Trust Fund any Forms
8-K and 10-K customary for similar securities as required by the Exchange Act
and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder, and the Depositor shall sign (or shall cause another entity
acceptable to the Securities and Exchange Commission to sign) and the Trustee
shall file (via the Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic Data
Gathering and Retrieval System) such forms on behalf of the Depositor (or such
other entity). The Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a limited power of
attorney to execute any Form 8-K and file each such document on behalf of the
Depositor. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i)
receipt by the Trustee from the Depositor of written termination of such power
of attorney and (ii) the termination of the Trust. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Depositor, and not the Trustee, shall be responsible
for executing each Form 10-K filed on behalf of the Trust.
(b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Trustee within 15 days
after each Distribution Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Certificateholders for such Distribution Date as an exhibit thereto. Subject to
Section 4.07(e), prior to March 30th of each year (or such earlier date as may
be required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission), the Trustee shall file a Form 10-K, in substance as
required by applicable law or applicable Security and Exchange Commission
staff's interpretations. The Trustee shall prepare such Form 10-K and provide
the Depositor with such Form 10-K not later than March 20th of each year,
subject to Section 4.07(e). Following its receipt thereof, the Depositor shall
execute such Form 10-K and provide the original of such Form 10-K to the Trustee
not later than March 25th (or, if the applicable March 25th is not a Business
Day, the next succeeding Business Day) of each year; provided, however, that if
the filing of such Form 10-K shall be required to occur on a date earlier than
March 30th of each year as may be required by the Exchange Act and the Rules and
Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the time periods for
preparation and execution of such Form 10-K set forth in this sentence shall be
adjusted accordingly). Such Form 10-K when filed shall include as exhibits the
Master Servicer's annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.20
and the accountant's report described under Section 3.21, in each case to the
extent they have been timely delivered to the Trustee. If they are not so timely
delivered, the Trustee shall file an amended Form 10-K including such documents
as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are delivered to the Trustee. The
Trustee shall have no liability with respect to any failure to properly prepare
or file such periodic reports resulting from or relating to the Trustee's
inability or failure to obtain any information not resulting from its own
negligence or willful misconduct. The Form 10-K shall also include a
certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-1 (the "Certification"),
which shall be signed by the senior officer of the Depositor in charge of
securitization.
-91-
(c) In addition, (x) the Trustee shall sign a certification
(in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-2) for the benefit of the Depositor
and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the
Certification (the "Trustee Certification"); provided, however, that the Trustee
shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as an
exhibit to the Form 10-K, and (y) the Master Servicer shall sign a certification
(in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J-3) for the benefit of the Depositor,
the Trustee and their officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain
aspects of the Certification (the "Master Servicer Certification"). The Master
Servicer Certification shall be delivered to the Depositor and the Trustee no
later than March 15th or if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding
Business Day, each year (subject to Section 4.07(e) hereof).
In addition, (A) the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any
actual losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out
of third party claims based upon a breach of the Trustee's obligations under
this Section 4.07 or any material misstatement or omission contained in the
Trustee Certification, and (B) the Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Depositor, the Trustee and their respective officers, directors and
Affiliates from and against any actual losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses that such Person may sustain arising out of third
party claims based upon a breach of the Master Servicer's obligations under this
Section 4.07(c), any material misstatement or omission contained in the Master
Servicer's Certification or any information correctly derived by the Trustee and
included in a Form 8-K or Form 10-K from information provided to the Trustee by
the Master Servicer under this Agreement. If the indemnification provided for
herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Depositor, then (i)
the Trustee agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the
Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the Depositor on the one hand and the Trustee on the other and (ii) the Master
Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
Depositor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the
Depositor in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the Depositor on the one hand and the Master Servicer on the other.
(d) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of any
executed report, statement or information.
(e) Prior to January 30th of the first year in which the
Trustee is able to do so under applicable law, the Trustee shall file a Form 15
Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust Fund.
(f) To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the
Depositor certifies that reports and certifications differing from those
required under this Section 4.07 comply with the reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act, the Trustee and the Master Servicer hereby agree that they
will reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 4.07 in order
to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this
Section 4.07; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for
executing any Form 10-K or the Certification.
-92-
Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports filed by the
Depositor under the Exchange Act.
SECTION 4.08. Excess Diverted Interest Reserve Account
(a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
establish and maintain with itself, a separate, segregated trust account titled,
"Excess Diverted Interest Reserve Account, Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of Citigroup
Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2003-UP2, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates."
(b) On each Distribution Date as to which there is an Excess
Diverted Interest Reserve Amount payable to a Class of Class A Certificates, the
Trustee shall deposit into the Excess Diverted Interest Reserve Account the
amount of such Excess Diverted Interest Reserve Amount, rather than distributing
such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. On each such Distribution Date,
the Trustee shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the
Class A Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the
Class A Certificates, in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01.
(c) For federal and state income tax purposes, the Excess
Diverted Interest Reserve Account will be a "qualified reserve fund" within the
meaning of Code Section 860(G)(7)(B).
(d) At the written direction of the Holders of a majority in
Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, the Trustee shall direct any
depository institution maintaining the Excess Diverted Interest Reserve Account
to invest the funds in such account in one or more Permitted Investments bearing
interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no
later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds
are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a
Person other than the Trustee or an Affiliate manages or advises such
investment, and (ii) no later than the date on which such funds are required to
be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the Trustee or an
Affiliate manages or advises such investment. Interest earned on such investment
shall be deposited into the Excess Diverted Interest Reserve Account.
(f) For federal tax return and information reporting, the
right of the Holders of the Class A Certificates to receive payments from the
Excess Diverted Interest Reserve Account in respect of any Excess Diverted
Interest Reserve Amount shall be assigned a value of zero.
(g) On the final Distribution Date, all Excess Diverted
Interest Reserve Amounts remaining in the Excess Diverted Interest Reserve
Account, if any, shall be paid to the Holders of the Class R Certificates.

The Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed
hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-13. The Certificates of each Class will be
issuable in registered form only, in denominations of authorized Percentage
Interests as described in the definition thereof. Each Certificate will share
ratably in all rights of the related Class.
Upon original issue, the Certificates shall be executed,
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee to or upon the order of the
Depositor. The Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or
facsimile signature on behalf of the Trustee by an authorized signatory.
Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were
at any time the proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such 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 herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and
such certificate of authentication 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 Senior Certificates, the Class B-1 Certificates, the
Class B-2 Certificates and the Class B-3 Certificates shall initially be issued
as one or more Certificates held by the Book- Entry Custodian or, if appointed
to hold such Certificates as provided below, the Depository and registered in
the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided below,
registration of such Certificates may not be transferred by the Trustee except
to another Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective
Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. The Certificate Owners
shall hold their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates
through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided
below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates
("Definitive Certificates") in respect of such Ownership Interests. All
transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the
Book- Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures
established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing such
Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership
Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or
of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the
Depository's normal procedures. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as the
Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in accordance herewith and
in accordance with the agreement that it has with the Depository authorizing it
to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and if it is no
-94-
longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a
written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee
(if the Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian) and any other transfer agent
(including the Depository or any successor Depository) to act as Book-Entry
Custodian under such conditions as the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the
Depository or any successor Depository may prescribe, provided that the
predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be relieved of any of its duties or
responsibilities by reason of any such appointment of other than the Depository.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the
successor trustee or, if it so elects, the Depository shall immediately succeed
to its predecessor's duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The Depositor shall have
the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Certificates held as
Book-Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian.
The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor may for all
purposes (including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates)
deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates for the purposes of
exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. The rights of Certificate
Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the
Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate
Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as
Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter
shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners. The Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in
connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders
and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.
If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee in writing that
the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a
qualified successor, (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee in
writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository
or (iii) after the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, Certificate
Owners representing in the aggregate not less than 51% of the Ownership
Interests of the Book-Entry Certificates advise the Trustee through the
Depository, in writing, that the continuation of a book-entry system through the
Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, the
Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates
to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
Book- Entry Certificates by the Book-Entry Custodian or the Depository, as
applicable, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration of transfer, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates.
Such Definitive Certificates will be issued in minimum denominations of
$100,000, except that any beneficial ownership that was represented by a
Book-Entry Certificate in an amount less than $100,000 immediately prior to the
issuance of a Definitive Certificate shall be issued in a minimum denomination
equal to the amount represented by such Book-Entry Certificate. None of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
-95-
SECTION 5.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at one of the offices
or agencies to be appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.12 a Certificate Register for the Certificates in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for
the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates
as herein provided.
(b) No transfer of any Class B-4 Certificate, Class B-5
Certificate or Class B-6 Certificates (the "Private Certificates") shall be made
unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of a Private Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification (other than in connection with the initial
transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an affiliate of the
Depositor), the Trustee shall require, receipt of: (i) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, written
certifications from the Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and
from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee, substantially in the forms
attached hereto as Exhibit F-1; and (ii) in all other cases, an Opinion of
Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without such
registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, in its capacity as such, or
the Trust Fund), together with copies of the written certification(s) of the
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer and/or such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee upon which such Opinion of Counsel is
based, if any. Neither the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or
qualify the Private Certificates under the 1933 Act or any other securities laws
or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the
transfer of such Certificates without registration or qualification. Any
Certificateholder desiring to effect the transfer of a Private Certificate
shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Master Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so
exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(c) No transfer of a Private Certificate or Residual
Certificate or any interest therein shall be made to any Plan subject to ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on
behalf of any such Plan or any Person acquiring such Certificates with "Plan
Assets" of a Plan within the meaning of the DOL Regulations ("Plan Assets"), as
certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G, unless the Trustee is
provided with an Opinion of Counsel on which the Trustee, the Depositor and the
Master Servicer may rely which establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee,
that the purchase of such Certificates is permissible under applicable law, will
not constitute or result in any prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code and will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee or the Trust Fund to any obligation or liability (including obligations
or liabilities under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Trust Fund. An Opinion
of Counsel, any certification or a deemed representation will not be required in
connection with the initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor
(in which case, the Depositor shall have deemed to have represented that such
affiliate is not a Plan or a Person investing Plan Assets) and the Trustee shall
-96-
be entitled to conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request
of the Trustee, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor of the
status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor. Unless such an
Opinion of Counsel is provided, each Person acquiring a Private Certificate or
any interest therein with Plan Assets shall be deemed to have represented, and
shall be required to provide an Officers' Certificate, that either (i) it is not
a Plan or investing with "Plan Assets," (ii) (1) it is an insurance company, (2)
the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest therein
is an "insurance company general account," as such term is defined in Prohibited
Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I
and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
Each beneficial owner of a Class B-1 Certificate, Class B-2
Certificate or Class B-3 Certificate or any interest therein shall be deemed to
have represented, by virtue of its acquisition or holding of that certificate or
interest therein, that either (i) it is not a Plan or investing with "Plan
Assets," (ii) it has acquired and is holding such certificate in reliance on
PTCE 2002-41, as amended from time to time ("Exemption"), and that it
understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of the
Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the time of
purchase, not lower than "BBB-" (or its equivalent) by S&P, Xxxxx'x or Fitch
Ratings and the certificate is so rated or (iii) (1) it is an insurance company,
(2) the source of funds used to acquire or hold the certificate or interest
therein is an "insurance company general account," as such term is defined in
PTCE 95-60, and (3) the conditions in Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been
satisfied.
If any Certificate or any interest therein is acquired or held
in violation of the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, the next
preceding permitted beneficial owner will be treated as the beneficial owner of
that Certificate retroactive to the date of transfer to the purported beneficial
owner. Any purported beneficial owner whose acquisition or holding of any such
Certificate or interest therein was effected in violation of the provisions of
the preceding two paragraphs shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Fund from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by those parties as a result of
that acquisition or holding.
(d) (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, the Trustee
shall require delivery to it and shall not register the
Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of an
affidavit and agreement
-97-
(a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement"), in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F-2, from the proposed Transferee, in form
and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, representing and
warranting, among other things, 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 that 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 5.02(d) and agrees
to be bound by them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause
(B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee who is
assigned to this transaction 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 shall agree (x) to require
a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to
whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate and (y) not to transfer its
Ownership Interest unless it provides a transferor affidavit
(a "Transferor Affidavit"), in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit F-2, to the Trustee stating that, among other things,
it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a
Permitted Transferee.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership
Interest in such Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee
written notice that it is a "pass-through interest holder"
within the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section
1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, if it is, or is holding an
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate on behalf of, a
"pass-through interest holder."
(ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement and all of such other documents as shall have been reasonably
required by the Trustee as a condition to such registration. In
addition, no Transfer of a Residual Certificate shall be made unless
the Trustee shall have received a representation letter from the
Transferee of such Certificate to the effect that such Transferee is a
Permitted Transferee.
(iii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of
a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(d), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of
such Residual Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to
any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate
that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for making any
-98-
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 5.02(d)
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 Trustee 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 Trustee on such
terms as the Trustee may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly
endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the
instructions of the Trustee. Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself or any
Affiliate of the Trustee. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions
(which may include commissions payable to the Trustee or its Affiliates),
expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee 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 Trustee, and the
Trustee 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 Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue
Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions 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 a Disqualified Organization, including the information
described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the "excess inclusions" of such Residual
Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company,
real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust,
estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds
an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among its
record holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified
Organization. Reasonable compensation for providing such information
may be accepted by the Trustee.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to
this subsection (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided
that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee at the expense of
the party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the
following:
(A) written notification from the Rating Agency to the effect
that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions
will not cause the Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings
of any Class of Certificates; and
(A) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Trustee, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or
elimination of such provisions will not cause any Trust REMIC to cease
to qualify as a REMIC and will not cause (x) any Trust REMIC to be
subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or (y) a
Person other than the prospective transferee to be subject to a
REMIC-tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee.
-99-
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at any office or agency of the
Trustee maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Trustee shall
execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated Transferee or
Transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class of a like aggregate
Percentage Interest.
(f) At the option of the Holder thereof, any Certificate may
be exchanged for other Certificates of the same Class with authorized
denominations and a like aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of such
Certificate to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Trustee maintained
for such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange
shall (if so required by the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(g) No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made
for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Trustee may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(h) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange
shall be canceled and destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its customary
procedures.
SECTION 5.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen
Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the
Trustee, or the Trustee receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of actual knowledge by the Trustee that such
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and
of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new
Certificate under this Section, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in
the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.04. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the 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 for all other purposes whatsoever,
-100-
and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or any agent of any
of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 5.05. Certain Available Information.
On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Private
Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the
Trustee ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure
document used by the Depositor in connection with the offer and sale of the
Private Certificates. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or
disclosure document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following
the delivery thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor promptly shall inform the
Trustee of such event and shall deliver to the Trustee ten copies of the private
placement memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended or
supplemented. The Trustee shall maintain at its Corporate Trust Office and shall
make available free of charge during normal business hours for review by any
Holder of a Certificate or any Person identified to the Trustee as a prospective
transferee of a Certificate, originals or copies of the following items: (i) in
the case of a Holder or prospective transferee of a Private Certificate, the
private placement memorandum or other disclosure document relating to such
Certificates in the form most recently provided to the Trustee; and (ii) in all
cases, (A) this Agreement and any amendments hereof entered into pursuant to
Section 11.01, (B) all monthly statements required to be delivered to
Certificateholders of the relevant Class pursuant to Section 4.02 since the
Closing Date, and all other notices, reports, statements and written
communications delivered to the Certificateholders of the relevant Class
pursuant to this Agreement since the Closing Date, (C) all certifications
delivered by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee since the Closing Date
pursuant to Section 10.01(h), (D) any and all Officers' Certificates delivered
to the Trustee by the Master Servicer since the Closing Date to evidence the
Master Servicer's determination that any P&I Advance was, or if made, would be a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance and (E) any and all Officers' Certificates delivered
to the Trustee by the Master Servicer since the Closing Date pursuant to Section
4.04(a). Copies and mailing of any and all of the foregoing items will be

ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE MASTER SERVICER
SECTION 6.01. Liability of the Depositor and the Master
Servicer.
The Depositor and the Master Servicer each shall be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed
by this Agreement and undertaken hereunder by the Depositor and the Master
Servicer herein.
SECTION 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer.
Subject to the following paragraph, the Depositor will keep in
full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Subject to the following paragraph,
the Master Servicer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and
franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation and its qualification as an approved conventional seller/servicer
for Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac in good standing. The Depositor and the Master
Servicer each will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the
Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties
under this Agreement.
The Depositor or the Master Servicer may be merged or
consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of
its assets to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or
consolidation to which the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be a party, or
any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor or the Master Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may
be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Master Servicer shall be qualified to service mortgage loans on behalf of
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; and provided further that the Rating Agency's ratings
of the Class A Certificates in effect immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation will not be qualified, reduced or withdrawn as a result thereof
(as evidenced by a letter to such effect from the Rating Agency).
SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor or the Master Servicer
shall be under any liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer or any such
person against any breach of warranties, representations or covenants made
herein, or against any specific liability imposed on the Master Servicer
pursuant hereto, or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
duties or by reason of reckless
-102-
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the
Master Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind which, prima
facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters
arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall be indemnified
and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or expense
incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense to any specific Mortgage
Loan or Mortgage Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be
otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) or any loss, liability or
expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in
the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor the Master Servicer
shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action
unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and,
in its opinion, does not involve it in any expense or liability; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that each of the Depositor and the Master Servicer may in its
discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto
and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, unless the
Depositor or the Master Servicer acts without the consent of Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights (which consent shall
not be necessary in the case of litigation or other legal action by either to
enforce their respective rights or defend themselves hereunder), the legal
expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom (except
any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder) shall be expenses, costs
and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the Depositor (subject to the limitations
set forth above) and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed
therefor from the Collection Account as and to the extent provided in Section
3.11, any such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of the
Certificateholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account.
SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Resignation of the Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that its duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or (ii) with the
written consent of the Trustee, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld,
with written confirmation from the Rating Agency (which confirmation shall be
furnished to the Depositor and the Trustee) that such resignation will not cause
the Rating Agency to reduce the then current rating of the Senior Certificates,
the Class B-1 Certificates, the Class B-2 Certificates or the Class B-3
Certificates and provided that a qualified successor has agreed to assume the
duties and obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder. Any such determination
pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence permitting the resignation of
the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect
obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer and delivered to the Trustee. No
resignation of the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a
successor servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities,
duties, liabilities (other than those liabilities arising prior to the
appointment of such successor) and obligations under this Agreement.
-103-
Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall
not assign nor transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to
any other Person, nor delegate to or subcontract with, nor authorize or appoint
any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Master Servicer hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision
hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master
servicer, the entire amount of the Servicing Fee and other compensation payable
to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto shall thereafter be payable to such
successor master servicer.
SECTION 6.05. Rights of the Depositor in Respect of the Master
Servicer.
The Master Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing
Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor and
the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all
records maintained by the Master Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in respect
of the Master Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers
of the Master Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such
obligations. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor
and the Trustee its (and any such Sub-Servicer's) most recent financial
statements of the parent company of the Master Servicer and such other
information relating to the Master Servicer's capacity to perform its
obligations under this Agreement that it possesses. To the extent such
information is not otherwise available to the public, the Depositor and the
Trustee shall not disseminate any information obtained pursuant to the preceding
two sentences without the Master Servicer's written consent, except as required
pursuant to this Agreement or to the extent that it is appropriate to do so (i)
in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other
governmental agencies, rating agencies or reinsurers or (ii) pursuant to any
law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any court
or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Trust Fund, and in either case, the Depositor or the Trustee, as the case
may be, shall use its best efforts to assure the confidentiality of any such
disseminated non-public information. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to,
enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and may, but
is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted
obligation of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or exercise the rights of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer
shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement by virtue
of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not
have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the
Master Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master
Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

SECTION 7.01. Master Servicer Events of Default.
"Master Servicer Event of Default," wherever used herein,
means any one of the following events:
(i) any failure by the Master Servicer to remit to the Trustee
for distribution to the Certificateholders any payment (other than a
P&I Advance required to be made from its own funds on any Master
Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.03) required to be made
under the terms of the Certificates and this Agreement which continues
unremedied for a period of one Business Day 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 Depositor or the
Trustee (in which case notice shall be provided by telecopy), or to the
Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; or
(ii) any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to
observe or perform in any material respect any 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 30 days after the earlier of (i) 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 Depositor or the Trustee, or
to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii)
actual knowledge of such failure by a Servicing Officer of the Master
Servicer; or
(iii) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory
authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case
under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law or the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceeding, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Master
Servicer and if such proceeding is being contested by the Master
Servicer in good faith such decree or order shall have remained in
force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days or
results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or
appointment; or
(iv) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment
of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings
of or relating to the 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 insolvency
-105-
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 P&I
Advance on any Master Servicer Remittance Date required to be made from
its own funds pursuant to Section 4.03 which continues unremedied for a
period of one Business Day after the date upon which written notice of
such failure (which notice the Trustee must provide by 3:00 p.m. New
York time on the Business Day following the Master Servicer Remittance
Date), requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Master Servicer by the Trustee.
If a Master Servicer Event of Default described in clauses (i)
through (v) of this Section shall occur, then, and in each and every such case,
so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied,
the Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, by
notice in writing to the Master Servicer (and to the Depositor if given by the
Trustee or to the Trustee if given by the Depositor), terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as a Master
Servicer under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. If a Master Servicer Event of Default
described in clause (vi) hereof shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under
this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof. On or
after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority
and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to
the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage
Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and
under this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, to execute and deliver on behalf of
and at the expense of the Master Servicer, any and all documents and other
instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or
appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to
complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and
related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees, at its sole cost
and expense, promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days
subsequent to such notice) to provide the Trustee with all documents and records
requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer's functions under
this Agreement, and to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination
of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the transfer within one Business Day to the
Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which at the time shall be
or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account
held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Distribution Account or any REO
Account or Servicing Account held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or
thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property
serviced by the Master Servicer (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Master Servicer
shall continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it
under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in
respect of P&I Advances or otherwise, and shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination, with respect to
events occurring prior to such termination). For purposes of this Section 7.01,
the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master ServicerEvent of
Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in
the Trustee's Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless
written notice of any event which is in fact such a Master
-106-
Servicer Event of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references
the Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.
The Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Master
Servicer (or by the Trust Fund if the Master Servicer is unable to fulfill its
obligations hereunder) for all costs associated with the transfer of servicing
from the predecessor master servicer, including without limitation, any costs or
expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the
completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required
by the Trustee to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or
otherwise to enable the Trustee to service the Mortgage Loans properly and
effectively.
SECTION 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master
Servicer in its capacity as Master Servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter
placed on the Master Servicer (except for any representations or warranties of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities contained in Section 2.03(c) and its obligation to deposit amounts
in respect of losses pursuant to Section 3.12) by the terms and provisions
hereof including, without limitation, the Master Servicer's obligations to make
P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Trustee is
prohibited by law or regulation from obligating itself to make advances
regarding delinquent mortgage loans, then the Trustee shall not be obligated to
make P&I Advances pursuant to Section 4.03; and provided further, that any
failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the Master
Servicer's failure to provide information required by Section 7.01 shall not be
considered a default by the Trustee as successor to the Master Servicer
hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, it is understood and acknowledged by the parties
that there will be a period of transition (not to exceed 90 days) before the
servicing transfer is fully effected. As compensation therefor, the Trustee
shall be entitled to the Servicing Fees and all funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans to which the Master Servicer would have been entitled if it had continued
to act hereunder (other than amounts which were due or would become due to the
Master Servicer prior to its termination or resignation). Notwithstanding the
above and subject to the next paragraph, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act or if it is prohibited
by law from making advances regarding delinquent mortgage loans, or if the
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so request
in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution
acceptable to the Rating Agency and having a net worth of not less than
$15,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer under this Agreement in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Master Servicer under this Agreement. No appointment of a successor to the
Master Servicer under this Agreement shall be effective until the assumption by
the successor of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities, duties and
liabilities hereunder. In connection with such appointment and assumption
described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of
such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that
permitted the Master Servicer as such hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and
such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall
be necessary to effectuate any such
-107-
succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.
Upon removal or resignation of the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, with the cooperation of the Depositor, (x) shall solicit bids for a
successor Master Servicer as described below and (y) pending the appointment of
a successor Master Servicer as a result of soliciting such bids, shall serve as
Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans serviced by such predecessor Master
Servicer. The Trustee shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from housing
and home finance institutions, banks and mortgage servicing institutions meeting
the qualifications set forth above (including the Trustee or any affiliate
thereof). Such public announcement shall specify that the successor Master
Servicer shall be entitled to the servicing compensation agreed upon between the
Trustee, the successor Master Servicer and the Depositor; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that no such fee shall exceed the related Servicing Fee. Within thirty days
after any such public announcement, the Trustee, with the cooperation of the
Depositor, shall negotiate in good faith and effect the sale, transfer and
assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder to the
qualified party submitting the highest satisfactory bid as to the price they
will pay to obtain such servicing. The Trustee upon receipt of the purchase
price shall pay such purchase price to the Master Servicer being so removed,
after deducting from any sum received by the Trustee from the successor to the
Master Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment all costs and
expenses of any public announcement and of any sale, transfer and assignment of
the servicing rights and responsibilities reasonably incurred hereunder. After
such deductions, the remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Trustee to the
Master Servicer at the time of such sale.
SECTION 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any termination of the Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.01 above or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.02 above, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register.
(b) Not later than the later of 60 days after the occurrence
of any event, which constitutes or which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a Master Servicer Event of Default or five days after a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee becomes aware of the occurrence of such an
event, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice
of each such occurrence, unless such default or Master Servicer Event of Default
shall have been cured or waived.
SECTION 7.04. Waiver of Master Servicer Events of Default.
Subject to Section 11.09(d), the Holders representing at least
66% of the Voting Rights evidenced by all Classes of Certificates affected by
any default or Master Servicer Event of Default hereunder may waive such default
or Master Servicer Event of Default; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a default or Master
Servicer Event of Default under clause (i) or (vi) of Section 7.01 may be waived
only by all of the Holders of the Regular Certificates. Upon any such waiver of
a default or Master Servicer Event of Default, such default or Master Servicer
Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied
for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall
-108-
extend to any subsequent or other default or Master Servicer Event of Default or
impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
-109-
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 8.01. Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer
Event of Default and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of Default
which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. During a Master Servicer Event
of Default, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of such person's own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee
enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.
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 conform to the
requirements of this Agreement. If any such instrument is found not to conform
to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, it shall take such
action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected, and if the
instrument is not corrected to its satisfaction, it will provide notice thereof
to the Certificateholders.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve
the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent
failure to act or its own misconduct; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Default, and after the curing of all such Master Servicer Events of
Default which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the
Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance
of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the
part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth
of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee
that conform to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers unless it shall be proved that it was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect
to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights relating to the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the it or exercising any trust or power conferred upon it, under
this Agreement; and
-110-
(iv) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be
deemed to have notice or knowledge of any default unless a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof or a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge thereof.
In the absence of receipt of such notice or actual knowledge, the
Trustee may conclusively assume there is no default.
SECTION 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(i) The Trustee and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers'
Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in
good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
(iii) The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or
to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee
reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained
herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default (which has not been
cured or waived), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs;
(iv) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
it by this Agreement;
(v) Prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of
Default hereunder and after the curing of all Master Servicer Events of
Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make
any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates entitled
to at least 25% of the Voting Rights; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the
payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses
or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee not reasonably assured
to the Trustee by such Certificateholders, the Trustee may require
-111-
reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense, or liability from such
Certificateholders as a condition to taking any such action;
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys;
(vii) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any loss
resulting from the investment of funds held in the Collection Account

(viii) Any request or direction of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or the Certificateholders mentioned herein shall be
sufficiently evidenced in writing.
(b) All rights of action under this Agreement or under any of
the Certificates, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by it without the
possession of any of the Certificates, or the production thereof at the trial or
other proceeding relating thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the benefit of all
the Holders of such Certificates, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.03. Trustee not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage
Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other
than the signature of the Trustee, the authentication of the Trustee on the
Certificates, the acknowledgments of the Trustee contained in Article II and the
representations and warranties of the Trustee in Section 8.12) shall be taken as
the statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for
their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or warranties as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as specifically set forth
in Section 8.12) or of the Certificates (other than the signature of the Trustee
and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Mortgage Loan
or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Depositor of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of
such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the
Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited
in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Master Servicer, other than
any funds held by or on behalf of the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.10.
SECTION 8.04. Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual capacity or any other capacity
may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee.
SECTION 8.05. Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
(a) The Trustee shall withdraw from the Distribution Account
on each Distribution Date and pay to itself the Trustee Fee. The Trustee and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the
Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense (not
including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee,
including the compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and
counsel,
-112-
in the ordinary course of the Trustee's performance in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement) incurred by the Trustee in connection with any
claim or legal action or any pending or threatened claim or legal action arising
out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its obligations
and duties under this Agreement, other than any loss, liability or expense (i)
for which the Trustee is indemnified by the Master Servicer, (ii) that
constitutes a specific liability of the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01(c) or
(iii) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder or as a result of a
breach of the Trustee's obligations under Article X hereof. Any amounts payable
to the Trustee, or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee in
respect of the indemnification provided by this paragraph (a), or pursuant to
any other right of reimbursement from the Trust Fund that the Trustee or any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Trustee may have hereunder in its
capacity as such, may be withdrawn by the Trustee from the Distribution Account
at any time.
(b) The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee from,
and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense resulting from a
breach of the Master Servicer's obligations and duties under this Agreement.
Such indemnity shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement and
the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Any payment under this Section
8.05(b) made by the Master Servicer to the Trustee shall be from the Master
Servicer's own funds, without reimbursement from the Trust Fund therefor.
(c) The Depositor shall pay any annual rating agency fees of
the Rating Agencies for ongoing surveillance from its own funds without right of
reimbursement.
SECTION 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or
an association (other than the Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer or any
Affiliate of the foregoing) organized and doing business under the laws of any
state or the United States of America, and authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority. If such corporation or association publishes reports of conditions at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
conditions so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
SECTION 8.07. Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the
trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be
delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the
Depositor. If no successor trustee shall have been so
-113-
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Depositor may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed, and to the successor trustee. A copy of such instrument shall be
delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Master Servicer by the
Depositor.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the
Voting Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee
by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments
shall be delivered to the Depositor, one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument
shall be delivered to the Certificateholders and the Master Servicer by the
Depositor.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 8.08.
SECTION 8.08. Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and the Trustee, 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 the like effect as if originally
named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor
trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements, as well as all
moneys, held by it hereunder and the Depositor 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 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06 and the appointment of such
successor trustee shall not result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates
by the Rating Agency, as evidenced by a letter from the Rating Agency.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as
provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to all Holders of
-114-
Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the
Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such
notice to be mailed at the expense of the Depositor.
SECTION 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation or association shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
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 REMIC I or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee to act as cotrustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC I, and to
vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I, 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 may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not
have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a
request to do so, or in case a Master Servicer Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 8.06
hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of
co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08
hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate
trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee (whether as
Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee
shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to
REMIC I 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.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trust conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment,
-115-
either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein,
subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every
provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability
of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be
filed with the Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time,
constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and
authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in
respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee
or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all
of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
SECTION 8.11. [intentionally omitted].
SECTION 8.12. Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will appoint an office or agency in the City of

and this Agreement may be served.
SECTION 8.13. Representations and Warranties.
The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Master
Servicer and the Depositor, as of the Closing Date, that:

standing under the laws of the United States.

default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both,
would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any
material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or which
is applicable to it or any of its assets.
(iii) It has the full power and authority to enter into and
consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly
authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement,

delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid, legal and
binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the
terms hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles
of equity, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law.
-116-
(v) It is not in violation of, and its execution and delivery
of this Agreement and its performance and compliance with the terms of
this Agreement will not constitute a violation of, any law, any order
or decree of any court or arbiter, or any order, regulation or demand
of any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory authority,
which violation, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely
to affect materially and adversely either the ability of the it to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition
of it.
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of its
knowledge, threatened against it which would prohibit it from entering
into this Agreement or, in its good faith reasonable judgment, is
likely to materially and adversely affect either the ability of it to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial condition
of it.

TERMINATION
SECTION 9.01. Termination Upon Repurchase or Liquidation of
the Trust Fund.
(a) Subject to Section 9.02, the respective obligations and
responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and
the Trustee with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than the obligations of
the Master Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05 and of the Master
Servicer to provide for and the Trustee to make payments to the Holders of the
related Class(es) of Certificates as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon
payment to the Certificateholders and the deposit of all amounts held by or on
behalf of the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid or deposited on the
Distribution Date coinciding with or following the earlier to occur of (i) the
purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and related REO Property
remaining in REMIC I, (ii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any
advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property
remaining in REMIC I; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the trust
created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of
the United States to the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof. The
purchase by the Master Servicer of all the Mortgage Loans and related REO
Property remaining in REMIC I shall be at a price (the "Termination Price")
equal to the greater of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage
Loans included in REMIC I, plus the appraised value of each REO Property, if
any, included in REMIC I, such appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser
mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the Trustee in their reasonable
discretion and (B) the aggregate fair market value of all of the assets in REMIC
I (as determined by the Master Servicer, with the consent of the Trustee, as of
the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon
which notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant
to the third paragraph of this Section 9.01).
(b) The Master Servicer shall have the right to purchase all
of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I pursuant to
clause (i) of the preceding paragraph no later than the Determination Date in
the month immediately preceding the Distribution Date on which the Certificates
will be retired; provided, however, that the Master Servicer, as provided above,
may elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining
in REMIC I pursuant to clause (i) above only if the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I at the
time of such election is reduced to less than 5% of the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the Cut-off Date. For federal income
tax purposes, the purchase by the Master Servicer of all Mortgage Loans and all
REO Properties underlying the Regular Interests in REMIC I is intended to
facilitate a redemption of such Regular Interests pursuant to a "cleanup call"
within the meaning of Treasury regulation section 1.860G-2(j). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall have the right to transfer, sell or
assign its rights to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property
remaining in REMIC I.
-118-
(c) Notice of the liquidation of the Certificates shall be
given promptly by the Trustee by letter to Certificateholders mailed (a) in the
event such notice is given in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans
and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I by the Master Servicer, not earlier
than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding
the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b) otherwise during
the month of such final distribution on or before the Determination Date in such
month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which REMIC I will
terminate and final payment of the Certificates will be made upon presentation
and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee therein
designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, (iii) that no interest
shall accrue in respect of the Certificates from and after the Interest Accrual
Period relating to the final Distribution Date therefor and (iv) that the Record
Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments
being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
office of the Trustee. In the event such notice is given in connection with the
purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I
by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for
deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the related Master Servicer
Remittance Date of the month in which such distribution will be made an amount
in immediately available funds equal to the Termination Price. Upon
certification to the Trustee by a Servicing Officer of the making of such final
deposit, the Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be released to the
Master Servicer the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans in REMIC I,
and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other
instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.
(d) Upon presentation of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates the
amount otherwise distributable on such Distribution Date in accordance with
Section 4.01 in respect of the Certificates so presented and surrendered. Any
funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates being retired on
such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to
tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust by
the Trustee and credited to the account of the appropriate non-tendering Holder
or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to
this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Trustee shall mail a second
notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their
Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with
respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such
Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee
shall, directly or through an agent, mail a final notice to remaining related
non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The
costs and expenses of maintaining the funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the trust funds.
If within one year after the final notice any such Certificates shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall pay to Citigroup Global
Markets Inc. all such amounts, and all rights of non-tendering
Certificateholders in or to such amounts shall thereupon cease. No interest
shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust
by the Trustee as a result of such Certificateholder's failure to surrender its
Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.
Immediately following the deposit of funds in trust hereunder
in respect of the Certificates, the Trust Fund shall terminate.
-119-
SECTION 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event that the Master Servicer purchases all the
Mortgage Loans and each REO Property, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in

(b) At the expense of the Master Servicer (or in the event of
termination under Section 9.01(a)(ii), at the expense of the Trustee), the
Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared the documentation required in
connection with the adoption of a plan of liquidation for each Trust REMIC
pursuant to this Section 9.02.
(c) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof
hereby agree to authorize the Trustee to specify the 90-day liquidation period

REMIC I, the Class R-I Interest shall be designated as the Residual Interest in
REMIC I, the Regular Certificates shall be designated as the Regular Interests
in REMIC II and the Class R-II Interest shall be designated as the Residual

"interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in any Trust REMIC
other than the interests represented by the Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "Startup Day"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code of each Trust REMIC.
(c) The Trustee shall pay out of its own funds, without any
right of reimbursement, any and all expenses relating to any tax audit of the
Trust Fund (including, but not limited to, any professional fees or any
administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to any Trust REMIC that
involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), other than the
expense of obtaining any tax related Opinion of Counsel as specified herein. The
Trustee, as agent for each Trust REMIC's tax matters person, shall (i) act on
behalf of the Trust Fund in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving
any Trust REMIC and (ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or
judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental
taxing authority with respect thereto. The holder of the largest Percentage
Interest of Residual Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided
under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury regulations section
301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC. By their
acceptance thereof, the holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the

Returns in respect of each Trust REMIC. The expenses of preparing and filing
such returns shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of reimbursement

in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee to enable it to perform
its obligations under this Article.
(e) The Trustee shall perform on behalf of each Trust REMIC
all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of
each Trust REMIC under the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other compliance
guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service or any state or local taxing
authority. Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions
-121-
or other such compliance guidance, the Trustee shall provide (i) to any
Transferor of a Residual Certificate such information as is necessary for the
application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Residual Certificate to any

including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market
discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption as required) and (iii) to
the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of
the person who will serve as the representative of each Trust REMIC. The Master
Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trustee such information with
respect to the assets of the Trust Fund, including, without limitation, the
Mortgage Loans, as is in its possession and reasonably required by the Trustee
to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection. In addition, the
Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee, within ten (10)
days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Trustee reasonably

Master Servicer and the Trustee shall not take any action, cause the Trust Fund
to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action
that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be,
could (i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in
the imposition of a tax upon the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the
tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and
the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code)
(either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the Trustee has received an
Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of the party
seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the Trustee, to
the extent the Trustee is taking such action on behalf of the
Certificateholders) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with
respect to such Trust REMIC, endanger such status or result in the imposition of
such a tax, nor shall the Master Servicer take or fail to take any action
(whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee has advised it in
writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse
REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior to
taking any action with respect to any Trust REMIC or the respective assets of
each, or causing any Trust REMIC to take any action, which is not contemplated
under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer will consult with the
Trustee or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could
cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to such Trust REMIC, and the
Master Servicer shall not take any such action or cause any Trust REMIC to take
any such action as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that an
Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with counsel to make
such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to
take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event shall such cost
be an expense of the Trustee (to the extent the Trustee is taking such action on
behalf of the Certificateholders). At all times as may be required by the Code,
the Trustee will ensure that substantially all of the assets of each Trust REMIC
will consist of "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code and "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited
transactions" of any Trust REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code,

-122-
of any Trust REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any
contributions to any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to
Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed by the Code or any
applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, such tax shall be charged (i)
to the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises out of or
results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations under this
Article X, (ii) to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such
tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its
obligations under Article III or this Article X, or otherwise (iii) against
amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal
therefrom.
(h) On or before April 15th of each calendar year, commencing
April 15, 2004, the Trustee shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Rating
Agency a Certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Trustee stating the
Trustee's compliance with this Article X (without regard to the actions of any
Person other than the Trustee).
(i) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year
and on an accrual basis. The Trustee will apply for an Employee Identification
Number from the Internal Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or such other form as is
appropriate.
(j) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept
any contributions of assets to any Trust REMIC other than in connection with any
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03
unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
inclusion of such assets in the REMIC will not cause the such REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject
such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions
of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Master Servicer shall enter
into any arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit any Trust REMIC to receive any income from
assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in
lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of any Trust REMIC, (iii) the
termination of any Trust REMIC pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement, (iv) a

defaulted Mortgage Loan), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the
Collection Account or the Distribution Account for gain, nor accept any
contributions to any Trust REMIC after the Closing Date (other than a Qualified
Substitute Mortgage Loan delivered in accordance with Section 2.03), unless it
has received an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee (at the expense of
the party seeking to
-123-
cause such sale, disposition, substitution, acquisition or contribution but in
no event at the expense of the Trustee, to the extent the Trustee is taking such
action on behalf of the Certificateholders) that such sale, disposition,
substitution, acquisition or contribution will not (a) affect adversely the
status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) cause any Trust REMIC to be subject
to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions.
SECTION 10.03. Master Servicer and Trustee Indemnification.
(a) The Trustee agrees to indemnify the Trust Fund, the

Servicer's covenants set forth in this Article X.

expectations of Certificateholders), (iii) to amend the provisions of Section
4.07 or (iv) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions
arising under this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions
of this Agreement, provided that such action shall not adversely affect in any

(a) an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee or (b) written notice to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee from the Rating Agencies that
such action will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any
outstanding Class of Certificates with respect to which it is a Rating Agency.
No amendment shall be deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Certificateholder who shall have consented thereto, and no
Opinion of Counsel shall be required to address the effect of any such amendment
on any such consenting Certificateholder.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting
Rights for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no
such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing
of, payments received on Mortgage Loans which are required to be distributed on
any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (ii)
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Holders of any

the Depositor or the Master Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled
to Voting Rights with respect to matters affecting such Certificates.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such amendment will
not result in the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment the Trustee
shall furnish a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
-125-
It shall not be necessary for the consent of
Certificateholders under this Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve

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.

take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the
Trust Fund, nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the
parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
expressly provided for herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation
and management of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor

after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding. 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 whatsoever by virtue 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, each and every Certificateholder

SECTION 11.09. Grant of Security Interest.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee be, and be
construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor and not a pledge of
the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Depositor. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent
of the parties, the Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Depositor,
then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed
a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor to the Trustee to secure a debt
or other obligation of the Depositor and (b)(1) this Agreement shall also be
deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York;
(2) the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01 hereof shall be deemed to be a
grant by the Depositor to the Trustee of a security interest in all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans and all
amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the
terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of
the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, including
without limitation all amounts, other than investment earnings, from time to
time held or invested in the Collection Account and the Distribution Account,
whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
obligations secured by such security agreement shall be deemed to be all of the
Depositor's obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to
provide to the Certificateholders the benefits of this Agreement relating to the
Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund; and (4) notifications to persons holding such
property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons holding
such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or
confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as applicable)
of the Trustee for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law. Accordingly, the Depositor hereby grants to the Trustee a
security interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other property described in
clause (2) of the preceding sentence, for the purpose of securing to the Trustee
the performance by the Depositor of the obligations described in clause (3) of
the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto intend
the conveyance pursuant to Section 2.01 to be a true, absolute and unconditional
sale of the Mortgage Loans and assets constituting the Trust Fund by the
Depositor to the Trustee.

the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights. Any such consent by the Holder of

the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form

Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933
Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to
effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with
copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring
to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which
such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is
obligated to register or qualify the Class of
A-14-4
Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement
to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master
Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

the Agreement, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form
below or other written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same
Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and an effective
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made
in a transaction that does not require such registration or qualification. In
the event that such a transfer of this Certificate is to be made without
registration or qualification, the Trustee shall require receipt of (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933
Act, written certifications from the Holder of the Certificate desiring to
effect the transfer, and from such Holder's prospective transferee,
substantially in the forms attached to the Agreement as Exhibit F-1, and (ii) in
all other cases, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may
be made without such registration or qualification (which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Master Servicer in their respective capacities as such), together with
copies of the written certification(s) of the Holder of the Certificate desiring
to effect the transfer and/or such Holder's prospective transferee upon which
such Opinion of Counsel is based. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is
obligated to register or qualify the Class of
A-16-4
Certificates specified on the face hereof under the 1933 Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement
to permit the transfer of such Certificates without registration or
qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of this Certificate
shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master
Servicer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of this Certificate to a Plan subject to ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, any Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf
of any such Plan or any Person using "Plan Assets" to acquire this Certificate
shall be made except in accordance with Section 5.02(c) of the Agreement.
The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only
without coupons in Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests
specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the Certificates are exchangeable for new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all
the Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the
Agreement to purchase from REMIC I all the Mortgage Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan at a price determined as provided in
the Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than
5% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as statements of
the Depositor, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Trustee, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be
entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate to

obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee and the rights
of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates

Prior to registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of this Certificate, the proposed transferee shall provide to the
Trustee (i) an affidavit to the effect that such transferee is any Person other
than a Disqualified Organization or the agent (including a broker, nominee or
middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, and (ii) a certificate that
acknowledges that (A) the Class R Certificates have been designated as a
residual interest in a REMIC, (B) it will include in its income a PRO RATA share
of the net income of the Trust Fund and that such income may be an "excess
inclusion," as defined in the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be
offset by other losses or benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to
have the financial means to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those
relating to holding the Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration
in the Certificate Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this
Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or middleman) of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be
deemed to be of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be
deemed to be a Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions in respect of this Certificate.

shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the
Agreement and to any amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of
the Depositor to ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person
other than a Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause the Trust
Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of a tax upon the
REMIC.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any agent
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Agreement and the Trust Fund
created thereby shall terminate upon payment to the Certificateholders of all
amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the
Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation
(or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property
remaining in REMIC I and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the
Agreement at a price determined as provided in the Agreement from REMIC I of all

MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This is a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"),
dated July 28, 2003, among Salomon Brothers Mortgage Securities VII, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser"), Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp., a
New York corporation (the "Seller") and Union Planters Bank, National
Association, a national banking association (the "Originator").
Preliminary Statement
---------------------
The Seller intends to sell the Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter
defined) to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Agreement. The Purchaser intends to deposit the Mortgage Loans into a
mortgage pool comprising the trust fund. The trust fund will be evidenced by a
single series of mortgage pass-through certificates designated as Series
2003-UP2 (the "Certificates"). The Certificates will consist of fifteen classes
of certificates. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2001 (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement"), among the Purchaser as depositor, Union Planters Mortgage, Inc. as
master servicer (the "Master Servicer") and Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, National
Association as trustee (the "Trustee"). Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE. The Seller agrees to sell,
and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, on or before July 30, 2003 (the "Closing
Date"), certain fixed-rate, conventional residential mortgage loans purchased by
the Seller from the Originator (the "Mortgage Loans"), having an aggregate
principal balance as of the close of business on July 1, 2003 (the "Cut-off
Date") of $309,537,496.45 (the "Closing Balance"), after giving effect to all
payments due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, whether or not
received.
SECTION 2. MORTGAGE LOAN SCHEDULE. The Purchaser and the
Seller have agreed upon which of the mortgage loans owned by the Seller are to
be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and the Seller will
prepare or cause to be prepared on or prior to the Closing Date a final schedule
(the "Closing Schedule") that together shall describe such Mortgage Loans and
set forth all of the Mortgage Loans to be purchased under this Agreement. The
Closing Schedule will conform to the requirements set forth in this Agreement
and to the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule" under the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. The Closing Schedule shall be used as the Mortgage Loan
Schedule under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall be based on
information provided by the Originator.
SECTION 3. CONSIDERATION.
(a) In consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be
purchased hereunder, the Purchaser shall, as described in Section 8, pay to or
upon the order of the Seller in immediately available funds an amount (the
"Mortgage Loan Purchase Price") equal to the net sale proceeds of the
Certificates, plus accrued interest.
(b) The Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or
designee of the Purchaser shall be entitled to all scheduled payments of
principal due after the Cut-off Date, all other payments of principal due and
collected after the Cut-off Date, and all payments of interest on the Mortgage
Loans allocable to the period after the Cut-off Date. All scheduled payments of
principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date and collected after the
Cut-off Date shall belong to the Seller.
(c) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
the Purchaser will assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the
Mortgage Loans, together with its rights under this Agreement, to the Trustee
for the benefit of the related Certificateholders.
SECTION 4. TRANSFER OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS.
(a) POSSESSION OF MORTGAGE FILES. The Seller does
hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without
recourse but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all of its right, title and
interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans. The contents of each Mortgage File
not delivered to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the

Seller for the benefit of the Purchaser or any assignee, transferee or designee
of the Purchaser. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans the ownership of each

respect to any lost Mortgage Note, an original Lost Note Affidavit
stating that the original mortgage note was lost, misplaced or

HOWEVER, that such substitutions of Lost Note Affidavits for original

aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of which is less than or equal
to 2.00% of the Pool Balance as of the Cut-off Date;
(ii) the original recorded Mortgage, with evidence of
recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage certified by the public
recording office in those jurisdictions where the public recording
office retains the original and the original recorded power of
attorney, if the Mortgage was executed pursuant to a power of attorney,
with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the power of attorney
certified by the public recording office where the public recording
office retains the original;
(iii) an original Assignment of the Mortgage executed
by the Originator or the Originator's successor in interest in blank,
together with any intervening assignments
-2-
and showing a complete chain of title from the original mortgagee named
under the Mortgage to the Originator or the Originator's successor in
interest in blank or an Affiliate of the Originator;
(iv) the originals of all assumption, modification,
consolidation or extension agreements, if any;
(v) the original of any guarantee executed in
connection with the Mortgage Note;
(vi) the original lender's title insurance policy,

subsequent to the issuance of such policy, insuring the priority of the
Mortgage as a first lien on the Mortgaged Property represented therein
as a fee interest vested in the Mortgagor, or in the event such
original title policy is unavailable, a written commitment or uniform
binder or preliminary report of title issued by the title insurance or
escrow company or an attorney's title opinion, if customary in the
related jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located; and
(vii) the original of any security agreement, chattel
mortgage or equivalent document executed in connection with the
Mortgage.
With respect to each Mortgage Note and Assignment endorsed in
blank as of the Closing Date, within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date the
Seller shall cause such endorsements to be completed in the following form: "Pay
to the order of Xxxxx Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, as Trustee,
without recourse."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge
that on the Closing Date, the Seller will deliver to, and deposit with, the
Purchaser, the Mortgage Note and will deliver the remaining contents of each
Mortgage File within 60 days following the Closing Date.
In instances where an original recorded Mortgage, power of
attorney or any assumption, modification, consolidation or extension agreement
cannot be delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser within 60 days following the
Closing Date, due to a delay in connection with the recording of such Mortgage,
power of attorney or assumption, modification, consolidation or extension
agreement, the Depositor may, in lieu of delivering such original recorded
Mortgage, power of attorney or assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreement referred to in clause (ii) or clause (iv) above, deliver to
the Purchaser a copy thereof, provided that the Depositor certifies that the
original Mortgage, power of attorney, assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension agreement has been delivered for recordation. In instances where an
original recorded Mortgage or power of attorney has been lost or misplaced, the
Seller may deliver or cause to be delivered, in lieu of such Mortgage or power
of attorney, a copy of such Mortgage or power of attorney bearing recordation
information and certified as true and correct by the office in which recordation
thereof was made. In instances where an Assignment in recordable form cannot be
delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser within 60 days following the Closing
Date, due to a delay in connection with the recording of the Mortgage, the
Seller may, in lieu of delivering the completed assignment in recordable form
referred to in clause (iii) above to the Purchaser, deliver such
-3-
Assignment to the Purchaser completed except for recording information. In all
such instances, the Seller will deliver the original recorded Mortgage or power
of attorney and completed Assignment (if applicable) to the Purchaser promptly
upon receipt of such Mortgage or power of attorney.
The Originator shall cause all Assignments referred to in
clause (iii) above and, to the extent necessary, in (iv) above to be recorded.
The Originator shall furnish the Purchaser, or its designated agent, with a copy
of each Assignment submitted for recording. In the event that any such
Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the
Originator shall promptly have a substitute Assignment prepared or have such
defect cured, as the case may be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to
be duly recorded.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for administrative convenience
and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the Assignments shall
not be required to be submitted for recording (except with respect to any
Mortgage Loan located in Florida and Maryland) unless such failure to record
would result in a withdrawal or a downgrading by any Rating Agency of the rating
on any Class of Certificates; provided, however, the Originator shall submit
each Assignment for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund or Trustee, upon
the earliest to occur of: (i) reasonable direction by Holders of Certificates
entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (ii) the occurrence of a Master
Servicer Event of Termination, (iii) the occurrence of a bankruptcy, insolvency
or foreclosure relating to the Originator, (iv) the occurrence of a servicing
transfer as described in Section 7.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
(v) with respect to any one Assignment the occurrence of a foreclosure relating
to the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage and (vi) on or after the 90th day on
which the payment for such Mortgage Loan was due and payable and not received.
The Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Purchaser promptly upon receipt thereof from the Originator any other original
documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File received with respect to any
Mortgage Loan, including, but not limited to, any original documents evidencing
an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of any Mortgage Loan.
All original documents relating to the Mortgage Loans that are
not delivered to the Purchaser are and shall be held by or on behalf of the
Purchaser in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders. In the event that any such original document is required
pursuant to the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, such
document shall be delivered promptly to the Purchaser. Any such original
document delivered to or held by the Purchaser that is not required pursuant to
the terms of this Section to be a part of a Mortgage File, shall be delivered
promptly to the Seller.
(c) ACCEPTANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS. The documents
delivered pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall be reviewed by the Purchaser or
any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser at any time before or
after the Closing Date (and with respect to each document permitted to be
delivered after the Closing Date within seven days of its delivery) to ascertain
that all required documents have been executed and received and that such
documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
-4-
(d) TRANSFER OF INTEREST IN AGREEMENTS. The Purchaser
has the right to assign its interest under this Agreement, in whole or in part,
to the Trustee, as may be required to effect the purposes of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, without the consent of the Seller or the Originator, and
the assignee shall succeed to the rights and obligations hereunder of the
Purchaser. Any expense reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the Purchaser, the
Master Servicer or the Trustee in connection with enforcing any obligations of
the Seller or the Originator under this Agreement will be promptly reimbursed by
the Seller or the Originator, as applicable.
(e) EXAMINATION OF MORTGAGE FILES. Prior to the
Closing Date, the Seller shall either (i) deliver in escrow to the Purchaser or
to any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser, for examination, the
Mortgage File pertaining to each Mortgage Loan, or (ii) make such Mortgage Files
available to the Purchaser or to any assignee, transferee or designee of the
Purchaser for examination. Such examination may be made by the Purchaser or the
Trustee, and their respective designees, upon reasonable notice to the Seller
during normal business hours before the Closing Date and within 60 days after
the Closing Date. If any such person makes such examination prior to the Closing
Date and identifies any Mortgage Loans that do not conform to the requirements
of the Purchaser as described in this Agreement, such Mortgage Loans shall be
deleted from the Closing Schedule. The Purchaser may, at its option and without
notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of the Mortgage Loans without
conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that the Purchaser or
any person has conducted or has failed to conduct any partial or complete
examination of the Mortgage Files shall not affect the rights of the Purchaser
or any assignee, transferee or designee of the Purchaser to demand repurchase or
other relief as provided herein or under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ORIGINATOR
RELATING TO THE MORTGAGE LOANS.
The Originator hereby represents and warrants to the Seller
and the Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date (or
such other date specified herein) for such Mortgage Loan:
(i) The information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule is
complete, true and correct as of the Cut-off Date;
(ii) [Reserved];
(iii) All payments required to be made up to the close of
business on the Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the
Mortgage Note have been made; the Originator has not advanced funds, or induced,
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the
owner of the related Mortgaged Property, directly or indirectly, for the payment
of any amount required by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage; and except with respect
to 3.65% of the Group I Mortgage Loans and 4.84% of the Group II Mortgage Loans
(in each case, by aggregate principal balance of the related Loan Group as of
the Cut-off Date), there has been no delinquency, exclusive of any period of
grace, in any payment by the Mortgagor thereunder during the last twelve months;
(iv) To the best knowledge of the Originator, there are no
delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments,
insurance premiums, leasehold payments, including assessments payable in future
installments or other outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged
Property;
(v) To the best knowledge of the Originator, the terms of the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or
modified in any respect, except by written instruments included in the Mortgage
File, recorded in the applicable public recording office if necessary to
maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage; the substance of any such waiver,
alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent
required by the related policy, and is reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.
No instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed by the
Originator or any other person in the chain of title from the Originator, and no
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an
assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by
the policy, and the terms of which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
and included in the related Mortgage File;
(vi) The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission,
set-off,
-9-
counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury and no such right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto;
(vii) To the best knowledge of the Originator, all buildings
upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally acceptable insurer
against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are
customary in the area where the Mortgaged Property is located, pursuant to
insurance policies conforming to the requirements of this Agreement. All such
insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Originator,
its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums thereon have been paid.
If upon origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area
identified on a Flood Hazard Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and such
flood insurance has been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the
requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration
is in effect which policy conforms to the requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx
Mac. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such
insurance at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's failure to
do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the
Mortgagor's cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the
Mortgagor;
(viii) To the best knowledge of the Originator, any and all
requirements of any federal, state or local law including, without limitation,
usury, truth in lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit
protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the
origination and servicing of the Mortgage Loan have been complied with;
(ix) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled,
subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has
not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has
any instrument been executed that would effect any such satisfaction,
cancellation, subordination, rescission or release;
(x) The Mortgage is a valid, existing and enforceable first
lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged
Property subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions,
rights of way, easements and other matters of the public record as of the date
of recording being acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally and
specifically referred to in the lender's title insurance policy delivered to the
originator of the Mortgage Loan and which do not adversely affect the appraised
value of the Mortgaged Property and (c) other matters to which like properties
are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or
marketability of the related Mortgaged Property. Any security agreement, chattel
mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the
Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid, existing and enforceable first
lien and first priority security interest;
(xi) The Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage are genuine
and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof,
enforceable in accordance with its terms and with respect to any Mortgage Note
marked "Renewal and Extension," such Mortgage Note is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its
terms;
-10-
(xii) To the best knowledge of the Originator, all parties to
the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage
Loan and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such
parties. The Mortgagor is a natural person who is a party to the Mortgage Note
and the Mortgage is in an individual capacity or family trust that is guaranteed
by a natural person;
(xiii) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed to or for the account of the Mortgagor and there is no obligation for
the Mortgagee to advance additional funds thereunder and any and all
requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvement and as to
disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with. All costs,
fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the
recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to
any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Mortgagee pursuant to the Mortgage
Note or Mortgage;
(xiv) [Reserved];
(xv) To the best knowledge of the Originator, all parties
which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as mortgagee,
assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in which they held
and disposed of such interest, were) in compliance with any and all applicable
"doing business" and licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the
Mortgaged Property is located;
(xvi) The Mortgage Loan is covered by either (i) an American
Land Title Association lender's title insurance policy acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx
or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae and Xxxxxxx
Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained in (x)(a) and
(b) above) the Originator, its successors and assigns as to the first priority
lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan or
(ii) an attorney's title opinion, if customary in the related jurisdiction where
the Mortgaged Property is located. Additionally, such lender's title insurance
policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged
Property, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any
interest therein. The Originator is the sole insured of such lender's title
insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance policy is in full force and
effect and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such
lender's title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the related Mortgage,
including the Originator, has done, by act or omission, anything which would
impair the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;
(xvii) There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event
which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration, and the Originator has not waived any default, breach, violation
or event of acceleration;
(xviii) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims
which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding
that under law could give rise to such lien)
-11-
affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or
equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage;
(xix) To the best of the Originator's knowledge, all
improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the
related Mortgaged Property lay wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property, and no improvements on adjoining
properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property;
(xx) The Mortgage Loan was (i) originated by the Originator or
by a savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank or similar
banking institution which is supervised and examined by a federal or state
authority, or by a mortgagee approved as such by the Secretary of HUD, (ii)
purchased by Originator in the secondary mortgage market or (iii) acquired by
the Originator directly through loan brokers or correspondents such that (a) the
Mortgage Loan was originated in conformity with the Originator's underwriting
guidelines, (b) the Originator approved the Mortgage Loan prior to funding and
(c) the Originator provided the funds used to originate the Mortgage Loan and
acquired the Mortgage Loan on the date of origination thereof;
(xxi) Principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no
more than two months after the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The
Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Rate. The Mortgage Note is payable
on the day of each month set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and in Monthly
Payments which will amortize the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan
over its remaining term at the Mortgage Rate. Interest on the Mortgage Loan is
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
The Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization. As of the Cut-off Date,
the construction phase of any Mortgage Loan originated as a construction
permanent loan has expired;
(xxii) The origination and collection practices used by the
Originator with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been in all
respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage origination and
servicing industry. The Mortgage Loan has been serviced by the Master Servicer
(directly or through a subservicer) and any predecessor servicer in accordance
with the terms of the Mortgage Note. With respect to escrow deposits and Escrow
Payments, if any, all such payments are in the possession of, or under the
control of, the Master Servicer and there exist no deficiencies in connection
therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been
made. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the
Master Servicer have been capitalized under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage
Note;
(xxiii) To the best knowledge of the Originator, the Mortgaged
Property is free of damage and waste and there is no proceeding pending for the
total or partial condemnation thereof;
(xxiv) The Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain
customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies
of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged
Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (a) in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale and (b)
otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption
available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the
Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.
The Mortgagor has not notified the Originator, and the Originator has no
knowledge of
-12-
any relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers and Sailors
Civil Relief Act of 1940;
(xxv) The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged

made on the security thereof, whose compensation is not affected by the approval
or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan and who met the minimum qualifications of
Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac or those approved by the institution that originated
the related Mortgage Loan;
(xxvii) In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of trust,
a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage, and no
fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee
under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale after
default by the Mortgagor;
(xxviii) No Mortgage Loan contains provisions pursuant to
which Monthly Payments are (a) paid or partially paid with funds deposited in
any separate account established by the Originator, the Mortgagor, or anyone on
behalf of the Mortgagor, (b) paid by any source other than the Mortgagor or (c)

originated as a construction permanent loan and which has since converted to
permanent financing on the related Mortgaged Property, no Mortgage Loan was made

(xxxiv) Any principal advances made to the Mortgagor prior to
the Cut-off Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount
secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated,
bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage
securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first

origination in excess of 80% is and will be subject to a primary insurance
policy (unless the current Loan-to-Value Ratio of such Mortgage Loan is not in
excess of 80%), issued by a qualified insurer, which insures that portion of the
Mortgage Loan in excess of the portion of the Value of the Mortgaged Property
required by Xxxxxx Mae. All provisions of such primary insurance policy have
been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and
all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any such
primary insurance policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such
insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The
Mortgage Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not include any such insurance premium;
-14-
(xl) The Mortgage, and if required by applicable law the
related Mortgage Note, contains a provision for the acceleration of the payment
of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the event that the
Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior written consent of
the Mortgagee, at the option of the Mortgagee;
(xli) To the best knowledge of the Originator, no error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of any person, including,
without limitation, the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or
any other party involved in the origination of the Mortgage Loan or in the
application of any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan;

of name, signed or stamped by the applicable regulatory authority, if any of the

originated by the Originator while conducting business under a name other than
its present name and such certificate or other evidence is not recorded in the
public recording office where the related Mortgage is required to be recorded;
(xliv) No Mortgage Loan is (a) subject to the provisions of
the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 as amended ("HOEPA"), (b) a
"high cost" mortgage loan, "covered" mortgage loan or "predatory" mortgage loan
or any other comparable term, no matter how defined under any federal, state or
local law, or (c) subject to any comparable federal, state or local statutes or
regulations, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Georgia Fair
Lending Act, the City of Oakland, California Anti-Predatory Lending Ordinance
No. 12361 or any other statute or regulation providing assignee liability to
holders of such mortgage loans;
(xlv) No predatory, abusive or deceptive lending practices,
including but not limited to, the extension of credit to a mortgagor without

origination of the Mortgage Loan. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used
to purchase single premium credit insurance policies as part of the origination
of, or as a condition to closing, such Mortgage Loan;
(xlviii) Except as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans are subject to a Prepayment Charge. For any
Mortgage Loan originated prior to

October 1, 2002 that is subject to a Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment Charge
does not extend beyond five years after the date of origination. For any
Mortgage Loan originated on or following October 1, 2002 that is subject to a
Prepayment Charge, such Prepayment Charge does not extend beyond three years
after the date of origination. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that contains a
provision permitting imposition of a premium upon a prepayment prior to
maturity: (i) prior to the Mortgage Loan's origination, the Mortgagor agreed to
such premium in exchange for a monetary benefit, including but not limited to a
rate or fee reduction, (ii) prior to the Mortgage Loan's origination, the
Mortgagor was offered the option of obtaining a Mortgage Loan that did not
require payment of such a premium, (iii) the prepayment premium is disclosed to
the Mortgagor in the loan documents pursuant to applicable state and federal
law, and (iv) notwithstanding any state or federal law to the contrary, the
Originator shall not impose such prepayment premium in any instance when the
mortgage debt is accelerated as the result of the Mortgagor's default in making
the loan payments;
(xlix) The information set forth in the Prepayment Charge
Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects and each
Prepayment Charge is permissible, enforceable and collectable under applicable
federal and state law;

(whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in connection
with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage Loan) were disclosed in
writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
regulation. No Mortgagor was charged "points and fees" (whether or not financed)
in an amount greater than 5% of the principal amount of the related Mortgage
Loan, such 5% limitation is calculated in accordance with Xxxxxx Mae's
anti-predatory lending requirements as set forth in the Xxxxxx Mae Selling
Guide.
(li) No Mortgage Loan which is a Cash-out Refinancing was
originated in the State of Texas;
(lii) The Mortgage Loan complies with all applicable consumer
credit statutes and regulations, including, without limitation, the respective

by a properly licensed entity, and in all other respects, complies with all of
the material requirements of any such applicable laws;
(liii) The Mortgage Loan was not prepaid in full prior to the
Closing Date and the Originator has not received notification from a Mortgagor
that a prepayment in full shall be made after the Closing Date;
(liv) No Mortgage Loan is secured by cooperative housing,
commercial property or mixed use property;
(lv) The Originator has complied with all applicable
anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including without limitation the USA
Patriot Act of 2001 (collectively, the "Anti-Money Laundering Laws"); the
Originator has established an anti-money laundering compliance program as
required by the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, has conducted the requisite
-16-
due diligence in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan for
purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including with respect to the
legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor and the origin of the assets used by the
said Mortgagor to purchase the property in question, and maintains, and will
maintain, sufficient information to identify the applicable Mortgagor for
purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws;
(lvi) No Mortgage Loan is secured by real property or secured
by a manufactured home located in the state of Georgia unless (x) such Mortgage
Loan was originated prior to October 1, 2002 or after March 6, 2003, or (y) the
property securing the Mortgage Loan is not, nor will be, occupied by the
Mortgagor as the Mortgagor's principal dwelling. No Mortgage Loan is a "High
Cost Home Loan" as defined in the Georgia Fair Lending Act, as amended (the
"Georgia Act"). Each Mortgage Loan that is a "Home Loan" under the Georgia Act
complies with all applicable provisions of the Georgia Act. No Mortgage Loan
secured by owner occupied real property or an owner occupied manufactured home
located in the State of Georgia was originated (or modified) on or after October
1, 2002 through and including March 6, 2003;
(lvii) No Mortgagor was encouraged or required to select a
Mortgage Loan product offered by the Originator which is a higher cost product
designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage
Loan's origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit
history and debt to income ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered
by the Originator or any affiliate of the Originator. If, at the time of loan
application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a for a lower cost credit
product then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the Originator, the
Originator referred the Mortgagor's application to such affiliate for
underwriting consideration;
(lviii) The methodology used in underwriting the extension of
credit for each Mortgage Loan employs objective mathematical principles which
relate the Mortgagor's income, assets and liabilities to the proposed payment
and such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor's
equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such
credit extension. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at the time of
origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable ability to
make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan; and
(lix) All fees and charges (including finance charges) and
whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected in connection
with the origination and servicing of each Mortgage Loan have been disclosed in
writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state and federal law and
regulation.

SECTION 12. MANDATORY DELIVERY; GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.
The sale and delivery on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Loans described on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement is mandatory. It is specifically understood and agreed that each
Mortgage Loan is unique and identifiable on the date hereof and that an award of
money damages would be insufficient to compensate the Purchaser for the losses
and damages incurred by the Purchaser in the event of the Seller's failure to

its obligation hereunder, and the Seller agrees that it holds such Mortgage
Loans in custody for the Purchaser, subject to the Purchaser's (i) right, prior
to the Closing Date, to reject any Mortgage Loan to the extent permitted by this

consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Any Mortgage
Loans rejected by the Purchaser shall concurrently therewith be released from
the security interest created hereby. The Seller agrees that, upon acceptance of
the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser or its designee and delivery of payment to
the Seller, that its security interest in the Mortgage Loans shall be released.
All rights and remedies of the Purchaser under this Agreement are distinct from,
and cumulative with, any other rights or remedies under this Agreement or
afforded by law or equity and all such rights and remedies may be exercised
concurrently, independently or successively.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Closing Date, each of
the conditions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall have been satisfied and the
Purchaser shall not have paid or caused to be paid the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Price, or any such condition shall not have been waived or satisfied and the
Purchaser determines not to pay or cause to be paid the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Price, the Purchaser shall immediately effect the redelivery of the Mortgage
Loans, if delivery to the Purchaser has occurred and the security interest
created by this Section 12 shall be deemed to have been released.
SECTION 13. NOTICES. All demands, notices and communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
personally delivered to or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or
transmitted by telex or telegraph and confirmed by a similar mailed writing, if

SECTION 14. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any part, provision,
representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is
held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which
is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof.
SECTION 15. AGREEMENT OF PARTIES. The Seller, the Originator

in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry out the terms of this Agreement

effect, notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.
SECTION 17. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) The Originator will indemnify
and hold harmless each of (i) the Purchaser, (ii) the Seller and (iii) each
person, if any, who controls the Purchaser or the Seller within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") (i) through (iii)
collectively, the "Indemnified Party"), against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the 1933
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (a) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the

alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading in each case to the extent and only
to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission

an affiliate of the Originator, including the current loan balances of the
Mortgage Loans to the extent such information was inaccurate ((a) through (c)
collectively, the "Originator Information") and will reimburse each such
Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
Indemnified Party and each such controlling person in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.
The Originator's liability under this Section 17 shall be in addition to any
other liability the Originator may otherwise have.
(b) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Originator, its officers and its directors, and each person who controls the
Originator within the meaning of the 1933 Act against any and all losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become
subject under the 1933 Act, or other federal or state statutory law or
regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based in
whole or in part upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or Private
Placement Memorandum, or in any revision or amendment thereof or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were
made, not misleading, as of the date thereof and as of the Closing Date, except
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made therein in
reliance upon and in conformity with the Originator Information and will
reimburse the Originator and each such controlling person for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Originator and each such controlling person
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action. The Purchaser's liability under this Section 17 shall be in
addition to any other liability the Purchaser may otherwise have.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental
investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to either Section 17(a) or 17(b) above, such
person (the "indemnified party") shall promptly notify the person against whom
such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing provided,
however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the
indemnifying party from any liability which it may have under this section
except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and,
provided further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall
-23-
not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to the
indemnified party otherwise than under this section. The indemnifying party,
upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any
others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the
reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In
any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its
own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the
indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel,
(ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties)
include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation
of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party has
failed to retain counsel as provided in the immediately preceding sentence. It
is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any
proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for all such
indemnified parties (and local counsel). Such firm shall be designated in
writing by the Purchaser and the Seller, in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to clause 17(a) and by the Originator, in the case of parties
indemnified pursuant to clause 17(b). The indemnifying party may, at its option,
at any time upon written notice to the indemnified party, assume the defense of
any proceeding and may designate counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party
in connection therewith provided that the counsel so designated would have no
actual or potential conflict of interest in connection with such representation.
Unless it shall assume the defense of any proceeding, the indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have
been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified
party, unless such settlement (i) does not include a statement as to or
admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any such
indemnified party, and (ii) includes an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such proceeding.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 17 is
unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 17(a) or 17(b) hereof or
insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred
to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnified and indemnifying parties in connection with the statements or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
indemnified and indemnifying parties shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by such parties and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.
-24-
(e) The Purchaser and the Originator agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 17 were determined by
pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the considerations referred to in Section 17(d) above. The amount
paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages and liabilities referred to in this Section 17 shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim, except where the indemnified party is
required to bear such expenses pursuant to this Section 17, which expenses the
indemnifying party shall pay as and when incurred, at the request of the
indemnified party, to the extent that the indemnifying party will be ultimately
obligated to pay such expenses. In the event that any expenses so paid by the
indemnifying party are subsequently determined to not be required to be borne by
the indemnifying party hereunder, the party which received such payment shall
promptly refund the amount so paid to the party which made such payment. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11
(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in
this Section 17 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless
of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by the
Purchaser or any person controlling the Purchaser or by or on behalf of the
Originator and their respective directors or officers or any person controlling
the Originator and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Certificates.
SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS,
DUTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS (INCLUDING THE CHOICE OF LAW
PROVISIONS) AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND
THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW
SHALL APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT.
SECTION 19. MISCELLANEOUS. This Agreement may be executed in
two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or
termination is sought. The headings in this Agreement are for purposes of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser as provided in
Section 4 hereof be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the
Seller to the Purchaser and not as a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller
to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in
the event that, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the
Mortgage Loans are held to be property of the Seller, then, (a) it is the
express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge
-25-
of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller and (b) (1) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a
security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code; (2) the conveyance provided for in Section 4 hereof
shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Purchaser of a security
interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage
Loans and all amounts payable to the holders of the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with the terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or
involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other
property, including without limitation all amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested in the Collection Account whether
in the form of cash, instruments, securities or other property; (3) the
possession by the Purchaser or its agent of Mortgage Notes, the related
Mortgages and such other items of property that constitute instruments, money,
negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the
secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to
Section 9-305 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and (4) notifications to
persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations
from persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries,
bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting
such security interest under applicable law. Any assignment of the interest of
the Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(d) hereof shall also be deemed to be an
assignment of any security interest created hereby. The Seller and the Purchaser
shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the Mortgage Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement and the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

party unless the Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from

conclude that such third party independently meets the definition of "qualified

(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. The Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of the Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that applies to all 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 middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, 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 a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such person does not
have actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that each of the
Class R Certificates may be a "noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning
of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code and that the
transferor of a "noneconomic residual interest" will remain liable for any taxes
due with respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant
purpose of the transfer is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
F-2-1
4. 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 non-Permitted Transferee 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. The Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
transfer of any Class R Certificate unless the transferee, or the transferee's
agent, delivers to the Trustee, among other things, an affidavit in
substantially the same form as this affidavit. 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. 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 a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Owner's taxpayer identification number is
_________________.
8. The Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the
face of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement under which the Class R Certificates were issued
(in particular, clauses (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) 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 that the Owner holds such Certificate
in violation of Section 5.02(d)); and that the Owner expressly agrees to be
bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.
9. The Owner is not acquiring and will not transfer the Class
R Certificates in order to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
10. 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 Class R 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 Class R 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.
11. The Owner has no present knowledge that it may become
insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as it holds the
Class R Certificates.
12. The Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding.
13. The Owner is not acquiring the Class R Certificates with
the intent to transfer the Class R Certificates to any person or entity that
will not have sufficient assets to pay any taxes
F-2-2
owed by the holder of such Class R Certificates, or that may become insolvent or
subject to a bankruptcy proceeding, for so long as the Class R Certificates
remain outstanding.
14. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it
makes of the Class R Certificates, obtain from its transferee the
representations required by Section 5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement under which the Class R Certificate were issued and will not
consummate any such transfer if it knows, or knows facts that should lead it to
believe, that any such representations are false.
15. The Owner will, in connection with any transfer that it
makes of the Class R Certificates, deliver to the Trustee an affidavit, which
represents and warrants that it is not transferring the Class R Certificates to
impede the assessment or collection of any tax and that it has no actual
knowledge that the proposed transferee: (i) has insufficient assets to pay any
taxes owed by such transferee as holder of the Class R Certificates; (ii) may
become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as the Class
R Certificates remains outstanding; and (iii) is not a "Permitted Transferee".
16. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or
trust whose income from sources without the United States may be included 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.

5. At the time of transfer, the Owner has conducted a
reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Purchaser as
contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result

historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant
evidence to indicate that the Purchaser will not continue to pay its debts as
they become due in the future. The Owner understands that the transfer of a
Residual Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes
(and the Owner may continue to be liable for United States income taxes
associated therewith) unless the Owner has conducted such an investigation.
