In
instances where an original recorded Mortgage cannot be delivered by the
Depositor to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior to
or
concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, due to a delay
in connection with the recording of such Mortgage, the Depositor may, (a) in
lieu of delivering such original recorded Mortgage referred to in clause (ii)
above, deliver to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a copy
thereof, provided that the Depositor certifies that the original Mortgage has
been delivered to a title insurance company for recordation after receipt of
its
policy of title insurance or binder therefor (which may be a certificate
relating to a master policy of title insurance), and (b) in lieu of delivering
the completed assignment in recordable form referred to in clause (iii) above
to
the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee), deliver such assignment
to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) completed except for

master policy of title insurance) pertaining to the Mortgaged Property relating
to a Mortgage Loan cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or
a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement because such policy is not yet available, the
Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the original or a copy of such title
insurance referred to in clause (vi) above, deliver to the Trustee (or a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) a binder with respect to such policy (which
may be a certificate relating to a master policy of title insurance) and deliver
the original or a copy of such policy (which may be a certificate relating
to a
master policy of title insurance) to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee) within 180 days of the Closing Date, in instances where an original
assumption, modification, buydown or conversion-to-fixed-interest-rate agreement
cannot be delivered by the Depositor to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee) prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Depositor may, in lieu of delivering the original of such
agreement referred to in clause (iv) above, deliver a certified copy
thereof.
To
the
extent not already recorded, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which
MERS is identified on the Mortgage or on a properly recorded assignment of
the
Mortgage as the mortgagee of record, the Master Servicer, at the expense of
the
Seller shall promptly (and in no event later than five Business Days following
the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the Master Servicer
of
the recording information for a Mortgage) submit or cause to be submitted for
recording, at no expense to any Trust REMIC, in the appropriate public office
for real property records, each Assignment delivered to it pursuant to (iii)
above. In the event that any such Assignment is lost or returned unrecorded
because of a defect therein, the Master Servicer, at the expense of the Seller,
shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a substitute Assignment or cure
or cause to be cured such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause
each
such Assignment to be duly recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without
limiting the requirement that such Assignments be in recordable form, neither
the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required to submit or cause to
be
submitted for recording any Assignment delivered to it or a Custodian pursuant
to (iii) above if such recordation shall not, as of the Closing Date, be
required by the Rating Agencies, as a condition to their assignment on the
Closing Date of their initial ratings to the Certificates, as evidenced by
the
delivery by the Rating Agencies of their ratings letters on the Closing Date;
provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall
submit each Assignment for recording, at no expense to the Trust Fund or the
Master Servicer, upon the earliest to occur of: (A) reasonable direction by
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the Voting Rights, (B)
the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Termination, (C) the occurrence of
a
bankruptcy, insolvency or foreclosure relating to the Seller, (D) the occurrence
of a servicing transfer as described in Section 7.02 of this Agreement and
(E)
with respect to any one Assignment the occurrence of a foreclosure relating
to
the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the
Seller fails to pay the cost of recording the Assignments, such expense will
be
paid by the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall be reimbursed for
such
expenses by the Trust as set forth herein.
In
connection with the assignment of any Mortgage Loan registered on the MERS
System, the Depositor further agrees that it will cause, within 30 Business
Days
after the Closing Date, the MERS System to indicate that such Mortgage Loans
have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee in accordance with this
Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders by including in such
computer files (a) the code in the field which identifies the specific Trustee
and (b) the code in the field “Pool Field” which identifies the
series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans. The
Depositor further agrees that it will not, and will not permit the
Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer agrees that it will not and will
not
permit a Sub-Servicer to, alter the codes referenced in this paragraph with
respect to any Mortgage Loan during the term of this Agreement unless and until
such Mortgage Loan is repurchased in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
In
connection with its servicing of Cooperative Loans and as required by law,
the
Master Servicer will use its best efforts to file timely continuation statements
with regard to each financing statement and assignment relating to Cooperative
Loans as to which the related Cooperative Unit is located outside of the State
of New York.
With
respect to a maximum of approximately 5.00% of the Original Mortgage Loans,
by
outstanding principal balance of the Original Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off
Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in (i) above cannot be located,
the obligations of the Depositor to deliver such documents shall be deemed
to be
satisfied upon delivery to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee)
of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with a lost note affidavit.
If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost note affidavit was
delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) is
subsequently located, such original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the
Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee) within three Business
Days.
The
Depositor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee (or a Custodian
on behalf of 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 (or a Custodian on behalf of 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 (or a Custodian on behalf of 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.
Wherever
it is provided in this Section 2.01 that any document, evidence or information
relating to a Mortgage Loan be delivered or supplied to the Trustee, the
Depositor shall do so by delivery thereof to the Trustee or Custodian on behalf
of the Trustee.
It

and federal laws, including, but not limited to, all applicable predatory and
abusive lending laws.

Acceptance
of the Trust Fund by the Trustee.
|
Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01 and subject to any exceptions noted on an
exception report delivered by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Trustee
acknowledges receipt of the documents referred to in Section 2.01 (other than
such documents described in Section 2.01(iv)) and all other assets included
in
the definition of “Trust Fund” and declares that it holds and will hold such
documents and the other documents delivered to it constituting the Mortgage
File, and that it holds or will hold all such assets and such other assets
included in the definition of “Trust Fund” in trust for the exclusive use and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders.
The
Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, acknowledges receipt, subject to
the
review described in the succeeding sentence, of the documents and other property
referred to in Section 2.01 and declares that the Trustee (or a Custodian on
behalf of the Trustee) holds and will hold such documents and other property,
including property yet to be received in the Trust Fund, in trust, upon the
trusts herein set forth, for the benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders. The Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall, for the
benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, review each Mortgage File
within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement, to ascertain
that
all required documents have been executed, received and recorded, if applicable,
and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in the course of such
review the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf finds a document or documents
constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective in any material respect,
the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall promptly so notify the Depositor,
the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Seller, the Master Servicer
and,
if such notice is from a Custodian on the Trustee’s behalf, the Trustee. In
addition, upon the discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, the Paying Agent or the Trustee of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by 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.
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.
The
Trustee may, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof or at any
time
thereafter, enter into a custodial agreement with a Custodian pursuant to which
the Trustee appoints a Custodian to hold the Mortgage Files on behalf of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee and all present and future
Certificateholders, which may provide that the Custodian shall, on behalf of
the
Trustee, conduct the review of each Mortgage File required under the first
paragraph of this Section 2.02. Initially, Citibank, N.A., is appointed as
Custodian with respect to the Mortgage Files of all the Countrywide Mortgage
Loans and the GreenPoint Mortgage Loans and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. is
appointed Custodian with respect to the Mortgage Files of all the Xxxxx Fargo

understood that such initial Custodians shall be responsible for the review
contemplated in the second paragraph of this Section 2.02 and for all other
functions relating to the receipt, review, reporting and certification provided
for herein with respect to their respective Mortgage Files (other than ownership
thereof for the benefit of the Certificateholders and related duties and
obligations set forth herein).

SECTION
2.03
|
Repurchase
or Substitution of Mortgage Loans by the Seller or the
Depositor.
|
(a) Upon
discovery or receipt of notice by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator or the Trustee of any materially defective document in, or that
a
document is missing from, a Mortgage File or of the breach by 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 party
so discovering or receiving notice shall promptly notify the other parties
to
this Agreement, and the Trustee thereupon shall promptly notify the Seller
of
such defect, missing document or breach and request that the Seller deliver
such
missing document or cure such defect or breach within 90 days from the date
the
Seller was notified of such missing document, defect or breach, and if the
Seller 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 Seller under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (i) to
repurchase such Mortgage Loan from REMIC I-A or REMIC II at the Purchase Price
within 90 days after the date on which the Seller was notified (subject to
Section 2.03(e)) of such missing document, defect or breach, and (ii) to
indemnify the Trust Fund in respect of such missing document, defect or breach,
in the case of each of (i) and (ii), if and to the extent that the
Seller is obligated to do so under the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The
Purchase Price for the repurchased Mortgage Loan and any indemnification shall
be remitted by the Seller to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection
Account, and the Trust Administrator, upon receipt of written notice from the
Master Servicer of such deposit, shall give written notice to the Trustee that
such deposit has taken place and the Trustee shall release (or cause a Custodian
to release on its behalf) to the Seller the related Mortgage File, and the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute and deliver such instruments
of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as the Seller shall
furnish to it and as shall be necessary to vest in the Seller any Mortgage
Loan
released pursuant hereto, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall

Loan which is registered on the MERS System, the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement at its own expense and without any right of
reimbursement, shall cause MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of the
Mortgage in recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Seller
and
shall cause such Mortgage to be removed from registration on the MERS System
in
accordance with MERS rules and regulations. In lieu of repurchasing any such
Mortgage Loan as provided above, if so provided in the Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement the Seller may cause such Mortgage Loan to be removed from REMIC
I-A
or REMIC II (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
agreed that the obligation of the Seller 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, and if and to the extent provided in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement to perform any applicable indemnification obligations
with respect to any such omission, defect or breach, as provided in the Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, shall constitute the only remedies respecting such
omission, defect or breach available to the Trustee or the Trust Administrator
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-A or REMIC II.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, such substitution shall be effected by the Seller
delivering to the Trustee (or to a Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as
applicable), for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment in blank or 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. A Custodian on its behalf and on behalf
of
the Trustee shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, review each
Mortgage File within 90 days after execution and delivery of this Agreement,
to
ascertain that all required documents have been executed, received and recorded,
if applicable, and that such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans. If in
the
course of such review the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf finds a document
or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File to be defective in any
material respect, the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall promptly so
notify the Depositor, the Trust Administrator, the Seller and the Master
Servicer. 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 Seller. 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 Trust Administrator shall give or
cause to be given written notice to the Trustee and the Certificateholders
that
such substitution has taken place, and the Trust Administrator shall amend
or
cause a Custodian to 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, upon receipt thereof,
shall deliver a copy of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Master
Servicer. 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.
For
any
month in which the Seller 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 Mortgage Loan Remittance
Rate. On the date of such substitution, the Trustee will monitor the obligation
of the Seller to deliver or cause to be delivered, and shall request that such
delivery be to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, an
amount equal to the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Trustee
(or a
Custodian on behalf of the Trustee, as applicable), upon receipt of the related
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and written notice given by the
Master Servicer of such deposit, shall release to the Seller the related
Mortgage File or Files and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute
and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Seller shall deliver to it and as shall be necessary to vest
therein any Deleted Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto.
In
addition, the Seller shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to the Trustee
and the Trust Administrator 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, the Trust Administrator 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
to this Agreement, and the Trustee shall give written notice thereof to the
Seller. In connection therewith, the Seller pursuant to the Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement or the Depositor pursuant to this Agreement 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 Seller 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 Seller 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) and 2.03(d).
The Trustee shall reconvey to the Depositor or the Seller, 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
for breach of a representation or warranty.

ADMINISTRATION
AND SERVICING

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 and loan servicers administering similar mortgage
loans but 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 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.
The
Master Servicer further is authorized and empowered by the Trustee, on behalf
of
the Certificateholders and the Trustee, in its own name or in the name of the
Sub-Servicer, when the Master Servicer or the Sub-Servicer, as the case may
be,
believes it is appropriate in its best judgment to register any Mortgage Loan
on
the MERS System, or cause the removal from the registration of any Mortgage
Loan
on the MERS System, to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders or any of them, any and all instruments of assignment and
other comparable instruments with respect to such assignment or re-recording
of
a Mortgage in the name of MERS, solely as nominee for the Trustee and its
successors and assigns. Any reasonable expenses (i) incurred as a result of
MERS
discontinuing or becoming unable to continue operations in connection with
the
MERS System or (ii) if the affected Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the
judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably foreseeable,
incurred in connection with the actions described in the preceding sentence,
shall be subject to withdrawal by the Master Servicer from the Collection
Account.
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 (i) permit any modification with respect
to any Mortgage Loan (except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is in default
or, in the judgment of the Master Servicer, such default is reasonably
foreseeable) that would change the Mortgage Rate, reduce or increase the
principal balance (except for reductions resulting from actual payments of
principal) or change the final maturity date on such Mortgage Loan or (ii)
permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan
that would 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. Consistent with the foregoing, in connection with a
partial Principal Prepayment, the Master Servicer may at its option reduce
or
permit a Sub-Servicer to reduce the scheduled Monthly Payments on the related
Mortgage Loan so that the remaining outstanding principal amount owed under
such
Mortgage Loan will be paid in equal monthly installments of principal and
interest by the originally scheduled maturity date. In addition, in
connection with any modification of a Mortgage Loan that is entered into by
a
Mortgagor in lieu of refinancing and that is not permitted by this paragraph
or
by Section 3.07, the Master Servicer shall treat such modification for remitting
and reporting purposes as a Principal Prepayment in full to the Trust occurring
concurrently with the origination of a new mortgage loan, which is not in the
Trust, to the Mortgagor. For any such Mortgage Loan that has been so
deemed the subject of a Principal Prepayment in full, upon written notice from
the Master Servicer of the deposit into the Collection Account of funds in
an
amount equal to all amounts that would be owed to the Trust by the related
Mortgagor if such deemed Principal Prepayment were an actual Principal
Prepayment in full, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall execute and
deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without
recourse, as the Master Servicer or the applicable Sub-Servicer shall furnish
to
it and as shall be necessary to vest in the designated successor owner of such
Mortgage Loan specified in such instruments such Mortgage Loan released pursuant
hereto, and the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall have no further
responsibility with regard to such Mortgage Loan or the related Mortgage
File.
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.
The
Master Servicer shall accurately and fully report (or cause each Sub-Servicer
to
accurately and fully report), its borrower credit files to each of the credit
repositories in a timely manner.
|
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
Agencies of the rating on any Class of Certificates) with Sub-Servicers, for
the
servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans. As of the Cut-Off Date,
Countrywide Home Loans Servicing LP is the Sub-Servicer with respect to the
Countrywide Mortgage Loans and in such capacity Countrywide Home Loans Servicing
LP will be primarily responsible for the servicing of such Mortgage
Loans. As of the Cut-Off Date, GreenPoint is the Sub-Servicer with
respect to the GreenPoint Mortgage Loans and in such capacity GreenPoint will
be
primarily responsible for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans. As of
the Cut-Off Date, Xxxxx Fargo is the Sub-Servicer with respect to the Xxxxx
Fargo Mortgage Loans and in such capacity Xxxxx Fargo will be primarily
responsible for the servicing of such Mortgage Loans.
(b) 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 Xxx 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 and the Trust
Administrator copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements, and any amendments or
modifications thereof, promptly upon the Master Servicer’s execution and
delivery of such instruments.
(c) 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 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 (other than any Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement) shall
include the provision that such agreement may be immediately terminated by
the
Trustee or the Trust Administrator 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).

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, Trust
Administrator 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, the Trust Administrator and the 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 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 and the terms and
provisions of any related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy and any other
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 and the servicing standards
set forth in Section 3.01, 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 waive, modify or vary any term of such Mortgage Loan (including
modifications that change the Mortgage Rate, forgive the payment of principal
or
interest or extend the final maturity date of such Mortgage Loan), 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, if in the Master Servicer’s
determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not
materially adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders (taking into
account any estimated Realized Loss that might result absent such
action).
|
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 Eligible Account and shall comply with all
requirements of this Agreement relating to the Collection Account (provided,
however, that in the case of each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, the
applicable Sub-Servicing Account shall comply with all requirements of the
Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement relating to the custodial account provided
for
therein). 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
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 (or, in the case of the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement,
at such time as is required pursuant to the terms of the Initial Sub-Servicing
Agreement). 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 (or cause a Sub-Servicer to
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, fire and
hazard insurance premiums, Primary Mortgage 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 (or the applicable 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 Master Servicer’s (or the applicable
Sub-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 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
separate, segregated trust 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, Subsequent Recoveries 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;
(vii) all
amounts required to be deposited in connection with shortfalls in principal
amount of Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
2.03;
(viii) [reserved];
and
(ix) [reserved].
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.
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.
(b) On
behalf
of the Trust Fund, the Paying Agent on behalf of the Trust Administrator shall
establish and maintain one or more separate, segregated trust 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 Paying Agent 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 Group 2 Available Distribution
Amount and the Group 1 Available Distribution Amount (calculated in each case
without regard to the subtraction therefrom of any applicable lender-paid
primary mortgage insurance premium described in clause (i)(a) of each definition
thereof) for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection
Account 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 12:00 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 Trust
Administrator, 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, the Trust Administrator,
the
Paying Agent and the Depositor of the location of the Collection Account
maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof. The Paying
Agent shall give notice to the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, the
Paying Agent 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 Paying Agent on behalf of the Trust Administrator 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 Paying Agent 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 Paying Agent for deposit in the
Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at
any time request that the Paying Agent 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
to
the Paying Agent from time to time for deposit, and upon written notification
from the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent shall so deposit, in the Distribution
Account:
(i) any
P&I Advances, as required pursuant to Section 4.03;
(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;
(iv) any
amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.24 in connection with
any
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls; and
(v) any
Stayed Funds, as soon as permitted by the federal bankruptcy court having
jurisdiction in such matters.
(e) Promptly
upon receipt of any Stayed Funds, whether from the Master Servicer, a trustee
in
bankruptcy, or federal bankruptcy court or other source, the Paying Agent shall
deposit such funds in the Distribution Account, subject to withdrawal thereof
as
permitted hereunder.
(f) The
Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required
to
be deposited pursuant to Section 3.12(b) in 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 Paying Agent 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 Servicer for P&I Advances, but

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;
(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 Seller, as the case may be, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been purchased or replaced
pursuant to Section 2.03 all amounts received thereon subsequent to the date
of
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, the Trust Administrator or the Trustee, as the
case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect of the breach or defect
giving rise to the purchase obligation under Section 2.03 or Section 2.04 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);
(x) reserved;
and
(xi) 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, the Trust
Administrator and the Paying Agent, on or prior to the next succeeding Master
Servicer Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals from the Collection
Account pursuant to subclause (vii) above.
(b) The
Paying Agent shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution
Account, for any of the following purposes, without priority:
(i) to
make
distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section
4.01;
(ii) to
pay to
itself any interest income earned on funds deposited in the Distribution Account
pursuant to Section 3.12(c);
(iii) to
reimburse the Trust Administrator or the Trustee pursuant to Section
7.02;
(iv) to
pay
any amounts in respect of taxes pursuant to 10.01(g)(iii);

the Master Servicer would be entitled to reimbursement under Section 3.11(a);
and
(vii) 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
Paying Agent may direct any depository institution maintaining the Distribution
Account (for purposes of this Section 3.12, also an “Investment Account”), to
hold the funds in such Investment Account uninvested or to invest the funds
in
such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments specified in such
instruction 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 Paying Agent 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 Paying Agent 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 Trust Administrator (in its capacity as such) or in
the
name of a nominee of the Trust Administrator. The Trust Administrator shall
be
entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment direction of
funds held in the Collection Account and the Distribution 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 Trust Administrator or its agent, together with any document of transfer
necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator 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 Trust Administrator that such Permitted
Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect
of funds
thereafter on deposit in the Investment
Account.
|
(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 Paying Agent, shall be for
the
benefit of the Paying Agent and shall be subject to its withdrawal at any time.
The Paying Agent 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 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 (other
than
a Cooperative 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 (other than REO Properties acquired in respect
of
Cooperative Loans) 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 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 A:X 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 the 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 and the Paying Agent (upon the Trustee’s or Paying Agent’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
cancelable 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.

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
“due-on-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 or if the exercise of such rights would impair or threaten to impair
any recovery under the related Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, if any. 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 applicable Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting the
requirements of this Section 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 respective Custodian (with a copy 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.

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 Trust Administrator, 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.
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 petroleum-based
materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Master Servicer shall
take 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 shall have the right to purchase from the Trust Fund any
defaulted Mortgage Loan that is 90 days or more delinquent, 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 and the Trust Administrator, in form and substance satisfactory to
the
Trustee and the Trust Administrator prior to purchase), at a price equal to
the
Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder
shall be deposited in the Collection Account, and the Trustee (or a Custodian
on
behalf of 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 the Trustee (or a Custodian on behalf
of
the Trustee), upon receipt of written certification from the Master Servicer
of
such deposit, 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.
(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)(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).

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 respective
Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, by a certification in the form of Exhibit
E
(which certification 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 that the
respective Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, deliver to it the Mortgage
File.
Upon receipt of such certification and request, the respective Custodian, on
behalf of the Trustee, shall promptly release the related Mortgage File to
the
Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer is authorized to cause the removal
from
the registration on the MERS® System of any such Mortgage, if applicable, and to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders or
any
of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial
or full release. 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.
The
Trustee (or a Custodian on its behalf) shall, at the written request and expense
of any Certificateholder, provide a written report to such Certificateholder
of
all Mortgage Files released to the Master Servicer for servicing
purposes.
(b) From
time
to time and as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage
Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under any Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy or any other insurance policy relating to the Mortgage Loans,
the respective Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, shall, upon request of
the
Master Servicer and delivery to the respective Custodian and the Trustee of
a
Request for Release in the form of Exhibit E-l, release the related Mortgage
File to the Master Servicer, and the respective Custodian, on behalf of 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 document
previously requested from the Mortgage File to the respective Custodian 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
respective Custodian, on behalf of 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 a certificate of a Servicing Officer 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, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the
respective Custodian, on behalf of the Trustee, to the Master
Servicer.
(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.

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 any Primary Insurance Policies, if applicable, 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 the Trust Administrator) and shall not be entitled
to reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

Trust Administrator or 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

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 Trust Administrator
to
the Certificates Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall provide the
same

the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by
the
Master Servicer to the Trust Administrator and by the Trust Administrator to
the
Certificate Registrar.

Statement
as to Compliance.
|
The
Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator,
on
or before March 15th of each
calendar
year beginning in 2008, an Officers’ Certificate (an “Annual Statement of
Compliance”) stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar 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 in all material respects throughout such year, or, if there has been
a
failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying
each
such failure known to such officer and the nature and status of cure provisions
thereof. The Master Servicer shall deliver, or cause any Sub-Servicer
to deliver, a similar Annual Statement of Compliance by any Sub-Servicer to
which any servicing responsibilities have been delegated with respect to the
Mortgage Loans, to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator as described above
as and when required with respect to the Master Servicer.
If
the
Master Servicer cannot deliver the related Annual Statement of Compliance by
March 15th of
such year, the Trustee, at the direction of the Depositor, may permit a cure
period for the Master Servicer to deliver such Annual Statement of Compliance,
but in no event later than March 18th of such
year.
Failure
of the Master Servicer to comply with this Section 3.20 shall be deemed a Master
Servicer Event of Default and the Trustee at the direction of the Depositor
shall, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this Agreement
and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and specific
performance, upon notice immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations
of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans
and
the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer for the
same. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in this
Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
The
Master Servicer 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 that such Person may sustain
based
upon a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Section
3.20.

3.21

Assessments
of Compliance and Attestation
Reports.
|
(a) The
Master Servicer shall service and administer the Mortgage Loans in accordance
with all applicable requirements of the Servicing Criteria (as set forth in
Exhibit C hereto). The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Depositor
and the Trust Administrator or cause to be delivered to the Depositor and the
Trust Administrator, on or before March 1st of each
calendar
year beginning in 2008, the following:
(i) a
report
(an “Assessment of Compliance”) regarding the Master Servicer’s assessment of
compliance with the Servicing Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar
year, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item
1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be signed by an authorized
officer of the Master Servicer, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria
set forth in Exhibit C hereto;
(ii) a
report
(an “Attestation Report”) of a registered public accounting firm reasonably
acceptable to the Depositor that attests to, and reports on, the assessment
of
compliance made by the Master Servicer and delivered pursuant to the preceding
paragraph. Such attestation shall be in accordance with Rules
1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act;
(iii) from
each
Sub-Servicer, and each subcontractor determined by the Master Servicer to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when
provided in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.21(a); and
(iv) a
statement as to which of the Servicing Criteria, if any, are not applicable
to
the Master Servicer, which statement shall be based on the activities it
performs with respect to Mortgage-Pass Through securities transactions taken
as
a whole involving the Master Servicer, that are backed by the same asset type
as
the Mortgage Loans.
(b) As
provided in 3.21(a)(iii) above, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause any
Sub-Servicer and each subcontractor determined by the Master Servicer to be
“participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB to, deliver to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor an
Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report as and when provided
above.
Such
Assessment of Compliance, as to any Sub-Servicer, shall at a minimum address
each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated
as applicable to any “primary servicer.” Notwithstanding the
foregoing, as to any subcontractor, an Assessment of Compliance is not required
to be delivered unless it is required as part of a Form 10-K with respect to
the
Trust Fund.
If
the
Master Servicer cannot deliver any Assessment of Compliance or Attestation
Report by March 1st of such
year, the
Trustee, at the direction of the Depositor, may permit a cure period for the
Master Servicer to deliver such Assessment of Compliance or Attestation Report,
but in no event later than March 15th of such
year.
Failure
of the Master Servicer to timely comply with this Section 3.21 shall be deemed
a
Master Servicer Event of Default, and upon the receipt of written notice from
the Trustee of such Event of Default, the Trustee at the direction of the
Depositor may, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee may have under this
Agreement and at law or equity or to damages, including injunctive relief and
specific performance, upon notice immediately terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the
Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof without compensating the Master Servicer
for the same. This paragraph shall supersede any other provision in
this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary.
The
Trust
Administrator shall also provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation
Report, as and when provided above, which shall at a minimum address each of
the
Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto which are indicated as
applicable to the Trust Administrator. The Paying Agent, Certificate
Registrar and Authenticating Agent shall also provide an Assessment of
Compliance and Attestation Report, as and when provided above, which shall
at a
minimum address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on Exhibit C hereto
which are indicated as applicable to the Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar
and
Authenticating Agent. The Master Servicer shall on behalf of the
Trustee enforce the obligations of each Custodian under the applicable Custodial
Agreement to provide an Assessment of Compliance and Attestation Report, as,
when and to the extent set forth in the applicable Custodial
Agreement.
The
Master Servicer 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 that such Person may sustain
based
upon a breach of the Master Servicer’s obligations, as applicable, under this
Section 3.21. The Trust Administrator 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 that such Person may sustain based upon any failure of the Trust
Administrator to deliver when required its Assessment of Compliance and
Attestation Report. The Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and
Authenticating Agent 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 that such Person may sustain
based
upon any failure of the Paying Agent, Certificate Registrar and Authenticating
Agent to deliver when required its Assessment of Compliance.

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,
the Trust Administrator and to any Person identified to the Master Servicer
as a
prospective 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.

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, 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 above three-year grace period would otherwise
expire, an extension of the above three-year grace period, unless the Master
Servicer shall have delivered to the Trustee, the Trust Administrator and the
Depositor an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor, to the effect that the holding by the Trust
Fund of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third taxable year
after its acquisition will not result in the imposition on the Trust Fund 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
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
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 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 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, the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator and 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;
(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 remitted to the Paying Agent for deposit 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 further subject to
obtaining the approval of the insurer under any related Primary Mortgage
Insurance Policy (if and to the extent that such approvals are necessary to
make
claims under such policies in respect of the affected REO Property), 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 remitted to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Distribution Account
in
accordance with Section 3.10(d)(ii) on the Master Servicer Remittance 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.

Shortfalls.

With
respect to each Collateral Pool, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Paying
Agent 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 (or from a
Sub-Servicer’s own funds received by the Master Servicer in respect of
Compensating Interest) an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate of
the
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for the related Distribution Date resulting

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
Paying Agent 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 Trust Administrator, the Depositor and any successor
master servicer in respect of any such liability. Such indemnities shall survive
the termination or discharge of this Agreement. If amounts paid by the Master
Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.25 are
subsequently recovered from the related Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall
be
permitted to reimburse itself for such amounts paid by it pursuant to this
Section 3.25 from such recoveries.

(4) Immediately
prior to the distributions to the Holders of the Certificates on each

other
than Excess Bankruptcy Losses, Excess Fraud Losses, Excess Special Hazard Losses

to
increase the Certificate Principal Balances of the related Class of Certificates
with the highest payment priority to which such Realized Losses were previously
allocated, to the extent of any such Realized Losses previously allocated to
such Class of Certificates and remaining “unreimbursed”; second, to increase the
Certificate Principal Balances of the related Class of Certificates with the
next highest payment priority to which such Realized Losses were previously
allocated, to the extent of any such Realized Losses previously allocated to

purposes of the foregoing, with respect to any Class of Certificates the amount
of previously allocated Realized Losses that have been offset by an increase
in
Certificate Principal Balances as provided above shall be deemed no longer
“unreimbursed”. Holders of any Class of Certificates with respect to which there
shall have been a Certificate Principal Balances increase pursuant to this
paragraph will not be entitled to any distribution in respect of interest on
the
amount of such increase for any Interest Accrual Period preceding the

applied to the Certificate Principal Balances of each Class of Certificates
in
accordance with its respective Percentage Interest.
All
references above to the Certificate Principal Balances of any Class of

4.01(a)(2)(II)(ii) above, respectively, shall be applied among the various
Classes thereof, in the order of priority within each Collateral Pool from
the
Class of related Subordinate Certificates with the lowest numerical designation
to the Class of related 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 aggregate 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 the
following with respect to each Loan Group in such Collateral Pool: (X) the
related Class B Percentage of the amounts described in clauses (i) through
(v)
of clause (ii) (a) of the definition of Subordinate Principal Distribution
Amount, (Y) the portion of the amounts described in clauses (ii) (b), (c) and
(e) of the definition of Subordinate Principal Distribution Amount allocable
to
such Class pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ii) 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 related Subordinate Certificates with a lower priority pursuant to Section
4.04.
(ii)
On
any Distribution Date, the amounts with respect to each Group 1 Loan Group
described in clauses (ii) (b), (c), and (e) of the definition of Subordinate
Principal Distribution Amount will be allocated on a pro rata basis
among the following Classes of Group 1 Subordinate Certificates (each, an
“Eligible Class”) in proportion to the respective outstanding Certificate
Principal Balances thereof: (i) the Class 1-B1 Certificates, (ii) the Class
1-B2
Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage interest

the
Class 1-B6 Certificates equals or exceeds 1.70% before giving effect to

if

1
evidenced by the Class 1-B3 Certificates, the Class 1-B4 Certificates, the

giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date, (iv) the Class 1-B4
Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage

Certificates that are Eligible Classes in the manner set forth
above.
On
any
Distribution Date, the amounts with respect to each Group 2 Loan Group described
in clauses (ii) (b), (c), and (e) of the definition of Subordinate Principal

following Classes of Group 2 Subordinate Certificates (each, an “Eligible
Class”) in proportion to the respective outstanding Certificate Principal
Balances thereof: (i) the Class 2-B1 Certificates, (ii) the Class 2-B2
Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage interest

the
Class 2-B6 Certificates equals or exceeds 2.00% before giving effect to
distributions on such Distribution Date, (iii) the Class 2-B3 Certificates,
if
on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage interest in Collateral Pool
2
evidenced by the Class 2-B3 Certificates, the Class 2-B4 Certificates, the
Class
2-B5 Certificates and the Class 2-B6 Certificates equals or exceeds 1.25% before
giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date, (iv) the Class 2-B4
Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage
interest in Collateral Pool 2 evidenced by the Class 2-B4 Certificates, the
Class 2-B5 Certificates and the Class 2-B6 Certificates equals or exceeds 0.80%
before giving effect to distributions on such Distribution Date, (v) the Class
2-B5 Certificates, if on such Distribution Date the aggregate percentage
interest in Collateral Pool 2 evidenced by the Class 2-B5 Certificates and
the

Certificates that are Eligible Classes in the manner set forth
above.
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 reduction in the amount to be allocated to the Maturing Class
or
Classes shall be allocated among the remaining related 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.
(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 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 4.01(e) or 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 Paying Agent in writing at least five Business Days

respect to any Class of Certificates other than the Residual Certificates is
the
registered owner of Certificates having an initial aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance that is in excess of the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii)
two-thirds of the initial Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of
Certificates, 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 of the Certificate
Registrar 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 Trust
Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating
Agent, 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 Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Authenticating Agent, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar 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 Trust Administrator expects
that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates will
be
made on the next Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall so timely
advise the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent shall, no later than five days
after the latest related Determination Date, mail on such date to each Holder
of
such Class of Certificates a notice to the effect that:
(i) the
Paying Agent 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 Certificate Registrar
therein specified,
(ii) no
interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the related
Interest Accrual Period, and
(iii) 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
Paying Agent 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 4.01(e) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within
six
months after the time specified in such notice, the Paying Agent 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 Paying Agent
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 Paying Agent
shall pay to the 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 Paying Agent 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).

Remittance
Reports; P&I Advances.
|
(a) On
the
second Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, the Master Servicer
shall deliver to the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the Trustee
by
telecopy (or by such other means as the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent and
the Trust Administrator and the Trustee may agree from time to time) 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 Master
Servicer in respect of the related Distribution Date, the aggregate amount
of
P&I Advances outstanding after giving effect to such P&I Advances, and
the aggregate amount of Nonrecoverable P&I Advances in respect of such
Distribution Date and (ii) such other information with respect to the Mortgage
Loans as the Trust Administrator or the Paying Agent may reasonably require
to
perform the calculations necessary for the Paying Agent to make the
distributions contemplated by Section 4.01 and for the Trust Administrator
to
prepare the statements to Certificateholders contemplated by Section 4.02;
provided, however, that if the Master Servicer is not the Trust Administrator,
the Master Servicer will forward to the successor Trust Administrator the
information set forth in clause (i) above on the next Business Day following
the
latest related Determination Date and the information set forth in clause (ii)
above on the fifth Business Day following the last day of the related calendar
month. Neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor the Trust Administrator shall
be responsible to recompute, recalculate or verify any information provided
to
it by the Master Servicer.
(b) The
amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer for any
Distribution Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.03(d), the sum of (i) the
aggregate amount of Monthly Payments (with each interest portion thereof net
of
the related Servicing Fee), due on the related Due Date in respect of the
Mortgage Loans, which Monthly Payments were delinquent as of the close of
business on the related Determination Date and (ii) with respect to each REO
Property, which REO Property was acquired during or prior to the related
Prepayment Period and as to which such REO Property an REO Disposition did
not
occur during the related Prepayment Period, an amount equal to the Monthly
Payments (with each interest portion thereof net of the related Servicing Fee)
that would have been due on the related Due Date in respect of the related
Mortgage Loans.
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 Paying Agent
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,
if received from a Sub-Servicer, from funds remitted by a Sub-Servicer in
payment of required P&I Advances 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 Trust Administrator 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 Trust
Administrator 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-A or REMIC II 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, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the
Trustee.
(e) If
the
Master Servicer shall fail to make any P&I Advance on any Master Servicer
Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to this Section
4.03, then the Paying Agent, by not later than 1:00 p.m. on the related
Distribution Date, shall make such P&I advance from its own funds by
depositing the amount of such advance into the Distribution Account, and the
Trust Administrator and the Paying Agent shall include the amount so advanced
by
the Paying Agent in the Available Distribution Amount distributed on such
Distribution Date.

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 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 Trust Administrator, the
Paying Agent and 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) Following
all distributions to be made pursuant to Section 4.01 on a Distribution Date,
all Realized Losses determined by the Master Servicer as described in (a) above
on the Mortgage Loans related to each Collateral Pool (other than Excess Losses)
shall be allocated on each Distribution Date in reverse sequential order to
the
related Subordinate Certificates, in each case until the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.
Thereafter,
(i) with respect to Collateral Pool 1, upon the reduction of the Certificate
Principal Balances of the related Subordinate Certificates to zero, all such
Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans related to such Collateral Pool (other
than Excess Losses) shall be allocated on any Distribution Date to the Class
1-A1A Certificates and the Class 1-A1B Certificates as described below (if
the
Realized Loss is on a Group 1-1 Mortgage Loan), to the Class 1-A2A Certificates
and the Class 1-A2B Certificates as described below (if the Realized Loss is
on
a Group 1-2 Mortgage Loan) to the Class 1-A3A Certificates and the Class 1-A3B
Certificates as described below (if the Realized Loss is on a Group 1-3 Mortgage
Loan), and (ii) with respect to Collateral Pool 2, upon the reduction of the
Certificate Principal Balances of the related Subordinate Certificates to zero,
all such Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans related to such Collateral Pool
(other than Excess Losses) shall be allocated on any Distribution Date, to
the
Class 2-A1A Certificates and the Class 2-A2B Certificates as described below
(if
the Realized Loss is on a Group 2 Mortgage Loan).
Excess
Losses on the Group 1 Mortgage Loans incurred during any Prepayment Period
will
be allocated on the related Distribution Date by allocating (i) the related
Group 1 Senior Percentage (related to the Loan Group in which the Mortgage
Loan
that suffered the Excess Loss is included) of the Excess Loss to the Class
1-A1A
Certificates and Class 1-A1B Certificates as described below (if the Excess
Loss
is on a Group 1-1 Mortgage Loan), to the Class 1-A2A Certificates and Class
1-A2B Certificates as described below (if the Excess Loss is on a Group 1-2
Mortgage Loan) and to the Class 1-A3A Certificates and Class 1-A3B Certificates
as described below (if the Excess Loss is on a Group 1-3 Mortgage Loan and
(ii)
the related Group 1 Subordinate Percentage (related to the Loan Group in which
the Mortgage Loan that suffered the Excess Loss is included) of the Excess
Loss
to the Group 1 Subordinate Certificates on a pro rata basis.
Excess
Losses on the Group 2 Mortgage Loans incurred during any Prepayment Period
will
be allocated on the related Distribution Date by allocating (i) the Group 2
Senior Percentage of the Excess Loss to the Class 2-A1A Certificates and Class
2-A1B Certificates as described below (if the Excess Loss is on a Group 2
Mortgage Loan) and (ii) the related Group 2 Subordinate Percentage of the Excess
Loss to the Group 2 Subordinate Certificates on a pro rata
basis.
Any
Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses relating to Collateral Pool 1 incurred during
any Prepayment Period will be allocated on the related Distribution Date as
follows: first, to the Class 1-B6 Certificates; second, to the Class 1-B5
Certificates; third, to the Class 1-B4 Certificates; fourth, to the Class 1-B3
Certificates; fifth, to the Class 1-B2 Certificates; and sixth, to the Class
1-B1 Certificates, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of
such
Class has been reduced to zero. Thereafter, the Extraordinary Trust Fund
Expenses relating to Collateral Pool 1 will be allocated on any Distribution
Date among the Group 1 Class A Certificates on a pro rata
basis.
Any
Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses relating to Collateral Pool 2 incurred during
any Prepayment Period will be allocated on the related Distribution Date as
follows: first, to the Class 2-B6 Certificates; second, to the Class 2-B5
Certificates; third, to the Class 2-B4 Certificates; fourth, to the Class 2-B3
Certificates; fifth, to the Class 2-B2 Certificates; and sixth, to the Class
2-B1 Certificates, in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance of
such
Class has been reduced to zero. Thereafter, any Extraordinary Trust Fund
Expenses relating to Collateral Pool 2 will be allocated on any Distribution
Date among the Group 2 Class A Certificates on a pro rata
basis.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to Collateral Pool 1, (i) any Excess Loss that
is
allocated to the Class 1-A1A Certificates and Class 1-A1B Certificates will
be
allocated between such Classes on a pro rata basis; and any Realized
Losses (other than any Excess Losses) allocated to the Class 1-A1A Certificates
and Class 1-A1B Certificates will be allocated first to the Class 1-A1B
Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero and then to the Class 1-A1A Certificates, (ii) any Excess Loss
that is allocated to the Class 1-A2A Certificates and Class 1-A2B Certificates
will be allocated between such Classes on a pro rata basis, and any
Realized Losses (other than any Excess Losses) allocated to the Class 1-A2A
Certificates and Class 1-A2B Certificates will be allocated first to the Class
1-A2B Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been
reduced to zero and then to the Class 1-A2A Certificates and (iii) any Excess
Loss that is allocated to the Class 1-A3A Certificates and Class 1-A3B
Certificates will be allocated between such Classes on a pro rata
basis, and any Realized Losses (other than any Excess Losses) allocated to
the
Class 1-A3A Certificates and Class 1-A3B Certificates will be allocated first
to
the Class 1-A3B Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof
has
been reduced to zero and then to the Class 1-A3A Certificates.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to Collateral Pool 2, any Excess Loss that is
allocated to the Class 2-A1A Certificates and Class 2-A1B Certificates will
be
allocated between such Classes on a pro rata basis, and any Realized
Losses (other than any Excess Losses) allocated to the Class 2-A1A Certificates
and Class 2-A1B Certificates will be allocated first to the Class 2-A1B
Certificates until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof has been reduced
to
zero and then to the Class 2-A1A Certificates.
Notwithstanding
the method of allocation of Realized Losses and Extraordinary Fund Expenses
above, if any overcollateralization exists when Realized Losses or Extraordinary
Trust Fund Expenses are to be allocated, such Realized Losses or Extraordinary
Trust Fund Expenses will be allocated first to the overcollateralization, until
the overcollateralization is reduced to zero, prior to allocating such Realized
Losses or Extraordinary Trust Fund Expenses to the Certificates in accordance
with the priorities set forth above.
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. Any allocation of a Realized Loss of Extraordinary Trust
Fund
Expense to a Certificate shall be made by reducing the Certificate Principal
Balance thereof by the amount so allocated as of the Distribution Date following
the Prepayment Period in which such Realized Loss was incurred.
(c) 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 Senior Principal Distribution Amount.

Compliance
with Withholding Requirements.

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall comply with all
federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders
of
interest or original issue discount that the Paying Agent reasonably believes
are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not
be
required for such withholding. In the event the Paying Agent does withhold
any
amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof
to
any Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Paying
Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such
Certificateholders.

Commission
Reporting.
|
(a) (i) Within
15 calendar days after each Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall,
in
accordance with industry standards, file with the Commission via the Electronic
Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”), a distribution report on Form
10-D, signed by the Master Servicer, with a copy of the monthly statement to
be
furnished by the Trust Administrator to the Certificateholders for such
Distribution Date. Any disclosure in addition to the monthly
statement required to be included on the Form 10-D (“Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure”) shall be determined and prepared by the entity that is indicated in
Exhibit B as the responsible party for providing that information, and shall
be
reported by such entity to the Depositor and the Trust Administrator and
approved by the Depositor. The Trust Administrator shall have no duty
or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure absent such reporting (other than in the case where the
Trust Administrator is the reporting party as set forth in Exhibit B) and
approval, and the Trust Administrator will have no duty or liability to verify
the accuracy or sufficiency of any such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure (except
in any case where the Trust Administrator is the responsible party for providing
that information pursuant to Exhibit B).
Within
5
calendar days after the related Distribution Date (or if not a Business Day,
the
immediately preceding Business Day), each entity that is indicated in Exhibit
B
as the responsible party for providing Additional Form 10-D Disclosure shall
be
required to provide to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent
known, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise agreed
upon by the Trust Administrator and the Depositor and such party, and clearly
identifying which item of Form 10-D the information relates to, any Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure, if applicable. The Trust Administrator shall
compile the information provided to it, prepare the Form 10-D and forward the
Form 10-D to the Depositor. The Depositor will approve, as to form
and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the Additional Form 10-D
Disclosure.
After
preparing the Form 10-D, the Trust Administrator shall forward electronically
a
copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor (in every case where the Form 10-D
includes Additional 10-D Disclosure and otherwise if requested by the Depositor)
and the Master Servicer for review. Within two Business Days after
receipt of such copy, but no later than the 12th calendar day after the
Distribution Date (provided that, the Trust Administrator shall have forwarded
a
copy of the Form 10-D no later than the 10th calendar after the Distribution
Date), the Depositor shall notify the Trust Administrator in writing (which
may
be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form
10-D. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval,
the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-D is
in
final form and the Trust Administrator may proceed with arrangements for the
execution of, and filing of, the Form 10-D. No later than 2 Business
Days prior to the 15th calendar day after the related Distribution Date, a
duly
authorized officer of the Master Servicer shall sign the Form 10-D and return
an
electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an original executed
hard
copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trust Administrator. If a
Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs
to be
amended, the Trust Administrator shall follow the procedures set forth in
Section 4.06(a)(v). Once the Form 10-D has been filed with the Commission it
will be available through XXXXX at xxx.xxx.xxx. The Trust
Administrator will provide copies of the report to investors, free of charge,
upon request. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
performance by the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator of their
respective duties under Sections 4.06(a)(i) and (v) related to the timely
preparation, execution and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties
strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties
under such Sections. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trust
Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute
and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the Master
Servicer’s or the Trust Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a
timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare,
arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(ii) Within

Business Days after the occurrence of an event requiring disclosure on Form
8-K
(each such event, a “Reportable Event”), the Trust Administrator shall prepare
and file, at the direction of the Depositor, on behalf of the Trust, any Form
8-K, as required by the Exchange Act; provided that, the Depositor shall file
the initial Form 8-K in connection with the issuance of the
Certificates. Any disclosure or information related to a Reportable
Event or that is otherwise required to be included on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K
Disclosure Information”) shall be, pursuant to the paragraph immediately below,
reported by the responsible parties set forth on Exhibit B to the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor and approved by the Depositor, and the Trust
Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to
determine or prepare any Form 8-K absent such reporting (other than in the
case
where the Trust Administrator is the reporting party as set forth in Exhibit
B)
and approval.
For
so
long as the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no
later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the 2nd Business Day after the
occurrence of a Reportable Event (i) the responsible parties set forth in
Exhibit B shall be required pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iv) below to provide
to
the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by a responsible
officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form as otherwise
agreed upon by the Trust Administrator and the Depositor and such party, the
form and substance of any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable, and
(ii) the Depositor shall approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove,
as
the case may be, the inclusion of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information on Form
8-K.
After
preparing the Form 8-K, the Trust Administrator shall forward electronically
a
copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor and the Master Servicer for
review. No later than the close of business New York City time on the
3rd Business Day after the Reportable Event, an officer of the Master Servicer
shall sign the Form 8-K and, return an electronic or fax copy of such signed
Form 8-K (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail)
to
the Trust Administrator. Promptly, but no later than the close of
business on the 3rd Business Day after the Reportable Event (provided that,
the
Trust Administrator shall have forwarded a copy of the Form 8-K no later than
the 2nd Business Day after the Reportable Event), the Depositor shall notify
the
Trust Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any
changes to or approval of such Form 8-K. In the absence of receipt of
any written changes or approval, the Trust Administrator shall be entitled
to
assume that such Form 8-K is in final form and the Trust Administrator may
proceed with arrangements for the execution of, and filing of, the Form
8-K. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously
filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Trust Administrator shall follow the
procedures set forth in Section 4.06(a)(v). Once the Form 8-K has
been filed with the Commission it will be available through XXXXX at
xxx.xxx.xxx. The Trust Administrator will provide copies of the
report to investors, free of charge, upon request. The parties to
this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by Master Servicer and the
Trust
Administrator of their respective duties under this Section 4.06(a)(ii) related
to the timely preparation, execution and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon
such parties strictly observing all applicable deadlines in the performance
of
their duties under this Section 4.06(a)(ii). Neither the Master
Servicer nor the Trust Administrator shall have any liability for any loss,
expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly
prepare, execute and/or timely file such Form 8-K, where such failure results
from the Master Servicer’s or the Trust Administrator’s inability or failure to
receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed
to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from
its
own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(iii) Within
90
days after the end of each fiscal year of the Trust or such earlier date as
may
be required by the Exchange Act (the “10-K Filing Deadline”) (it being
understood that the fiscal year for the Trust ends on December 31st of each
year), commencing in March 2008, the Trust Administrator shall prepare and
file
on behalf of the Trust a Form 10-K, in form and substance as required by the
Exchange Act. Each such Form 10-K shall include the following items,
in each case to the extent they have been delivered to the Trust Administrator
within the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement, (I) an Annual
Statement of Compliance for the Master Servicer and any Sub-servicer, as
provided under Section 3.20, (II)(A) the Assessments of Compliance for the
Master Servicer, each Sub-servicer and subcontractor participating in the
servicing function, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and each
Custodian, as provided under Section 3.21, and (B) if the Master Servicer’s, any

Trust Administrator’s, the Paying Agent’s or either Custodian’s Assessments of
Compliance is not included as an exhibit to such Form 10-K, disclosure that
such

the Paying Agent and either Custodian, as provided under Section 3.21, and
(B)
if any Attestation Report rendered as contemplated under Section 3.21 identifies
any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance
of
noncompliance, or if any such Attestation Report is not included as an exhibit
to such Form 10-K, disclosure that such report is not included and an
explanation why such report is not included, and (IV) a Master Servicer
Certification in the form prescribed by Exhibit H (provided, however, that
the
Trust Administrator, at its discretion, may omit from the Form 10-K any annual
compliance statement, assessment of compliance or attestation report that is
not
required to be filed with such Form 10-K pursuant to Regulation AB). Any
disclosure or information in addition to (I) through (IV) above that is required
to be included on Form 10-K (“Additional Form 10-K Disclosure”) shall be,
pursuant to the paragraph immediately below, reported by the responsible parties
set forth on Exhibit B to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor and approved
by the Depositor, and the Trust Administrator will have no duty or liability
for
any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure absent such reporting (other than in the case where the Trust
Administrator is the reporting party as set forth in Exhibit B) and
approval.
No
later
than March 15th of each year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act
reporting requirements, commencing in 2008, (A) the responsible parties set
forth in Exhibit B shall be required to provide pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iv)
below to the Trust Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known by
a
responsible officer thereof, in XXXXX-compatible format, or in such other form
as otherwise agreed upon by the Trust Administrator and the Depositor and such
party, the form and substance of any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if
applicable, and (ii) the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance,
or
disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure on Form 10-K.
After
preparing the Form 10-K, the Trust Administrator shall forward electronically
a
copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor and the Master Servicer for
review. Within 3 Business Days after receipt of such copy, but no
later than March 25th (provided that, the Trust Administrator forwards a copy
of
the Form 10-K no later than the 3rd Business Day prior to March 25th), the
Depositor shall notify the Trust Administrator in writing (which may be
furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form
10-K. In the absence of receipt of any written changes or approval,
the Trust Administrator shall be entitled to assume that such Form 10-K is
in
final form and the Trust Administrator may proceed with the execution and filing
of the Form 10-K. No later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time on
the 4th Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline, an officer of the Master
Servicer in charge of the master servicing function shall sign the Form 10-K
and
return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-K (with an original
executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Trust
Administrator. If a Form 10-K cannot be filed on time or if a
previously filed Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Trust Administrator will
follow the procedures set forth in Section 4.06(a)(v). Once the Form
10-K has been filed with the Commission it will be available through XXXXX
at
xxx.xxx.xxx. The Trust Administrator will provide copies of the
report to investors, free of charge, upon request. The parties to
this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Master Servicer and
the
Trust Administrator of their respective duties under Sections
4.06(a)(iii) through (v) related to the timely preparation, execution
and filing of Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties strictly observing
all
applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under such Sections
and
under Section 3.20 and Section 3.21. Neither the Master Servicer nor
the Trust Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage,
claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute
and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Master
Servicer’s or the Trust Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a
timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare,
arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting from its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
The
Master Servicer shall deliver the Master Servicer Certification, executed by
an
officer of the Master Servicer in charge of the master servicing function,
to
the Trust Administrator not later than March 15th of each year in which the
Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act. (b)In connection with the filing of any 10-K hereunder, in
the case where the Master Servicer and Trust Administrator are not affiliated,
the Trust Administrator shall sign a Back-Up Certification substantially in
the
form of Exhibit I; provided, however, that the Trust Administrator shall not
be
required to undertake an analysis of any accountant’s report attached as an
exhibit to the Form 10-K.
(iv) With
respect to any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K Disclosure
or any Form 8-K Disclosure Information (collectively, the “Additional
Disclosure”) relating to the Trust Fund, the Trust Administrator’s obligation to
include such Additional Disclosure in the applicable Exchange Act report is
subject to receipt from the entity that is indicated in Exhibit B as the
responsible party for providing that information, if other than the Trust
Administrator, as and when required as described in Section 4.06(a)(i) through
(iii) above. Each of the Master Servicer, Sponsor, Trust
Administrator and Depositor hereby agrees to notify and provide to the extent
known to the Master Servicer, the Sponsor, the Trust Administrator and the
Depositor all Additional Disclosure relating to the Trust Fund, with respect
to
which such party is indicated in Exhibit B as the responsible party for
providing that information.
So
long
as the Depositor is subject to the filing requirements of the Exchange Act
with
respect to the Trust Fund, the Trustee shall notify the Trust Administrator
and
the Depositor of any bankruptcy or receivership with respect to the Trustee
or
of any proceedings of the type described under Item 1117 of Regulation AB that
have occurred as of the related Due Period, together with a description thereof,
no later than the date on which such information is required of other parties
hereto as set forth under this Section 4.06. In addition, the Trustee
shall notify the Trust Administrator and the Depositor of any affiliations
or
relationships that develop after the Closing Date between the Trustee and the
Depositor, the Sponsor, the Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the
Servicer or either Custodian of the type described under Item 1119 of Regulation
AB, together with a description thereof, no later than the date on which such
information is required of other parties hereto as set forth under this Section
4.06.
The
Master Servicer shall be responsible for determining the pool concentration
applicable to any Sub-Servicer to which any of the Master Servicer’s
responsibilities with respect to the Mortgage Loans have been delegated at
any
time, for purposes of disclosure as required by Items 1117 and 1119 of
Regulation AB. The Trust Administrator will provide electronic or
paper copies of all Form 10-D, 8-K and 10-K filings free of charge to any
Certificateholder upon written request. Any expenses incurred by the
Trust Administrator in connection with the previous sentence shall be
reimbursable to the Trust Administrator out of the Trust Fund.
(v) (A) On
or prior to January 30th of the first year in which the Trust Administrator
is
able to do so under applicable law, the Trust Administrator shall prepare and
file a Form 15 relating to the automatic suspension of reporting in respect
of
the Trust under the Exchange Act.
(B) In
the event that the Trust Administrator is unable to timely file with the
Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required
to
be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either
not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth
in
this Agreement or for any other reason, the Trust Administrator shall promptly
notify the Depositor and the Master Servicer. In the case of Form
10-D and 10-K, the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator
shall cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a 10-DA and 10-KA as
applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case
of Form 8-K, the Trust Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form
8-K
Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor,
include such disclosure information on the next Form 10-D. In the
event that any previously filed Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K needs to be amended,
and
such amendment relates to any Additional Disclosure, the Trust Administrator
shall notify the Depositor and the parties affected thereby and such parties
will cooperate to prepare any necessary Form 8-KA, 10-DA or
10-KA. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or
10-K shall be signed by a duly authorized officer of the Master
Servicer. The parties hereto acknowledge that the performance by the
Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator of their respective duties under
this Section 4.06(a)(v) related to the timely preparation, execution and filing
of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is
contingent upon the Master Servicer and the Depositor timely performing their
duties under this Section. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trust
Administrator shall have any liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, execute
and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form
8-K,
10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the Master Servicer’s or the Trust
Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any
information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution
or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K,
not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct.
The
Depositor agrees to promptly furnish to the Trust Administrator, from time
to
time upon request, such further information, reports and financial statements
within its control related to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans as the Trust
Administrator reasonably deems appropriate to prepare and file all necessary
reports with the Commission. The Trust Administrator shall have no
responsibility to file any items other than those specified in this Section
4.06; provided, however, the Trust Administrator shall cooperate with the
Depositor in connection with any additional filings with respect to the Trust
Fund as the Depositor deems necessary under the Exchange Act. Fees
and expenses incurred by the Trust Administrator in connection with this Section
4.06 shall not be reimbursable from the Trust Fund.
(b) Without
limiting any other indemnification provided pursuant to any other Section of
this Agreement, the Trust Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless,
the
Depositor and the Master Servicer and each of their respective officers,
directors and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Trust
Administrator’s obligations under Sections 3.21 or 4.06 or the Trust
Administrator’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith. In addition, the Trust Administrator shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Depositor and each of its officers, directors and affiliates and
the Master Servicer from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses that (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue

3.21 or 4.06 (the “Trust Administrator Information”), or (ii) 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
light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided,
by
way of clarification, that clause (ii) of this paragraph shall be construed
solely by reference to the Trust Administrator Information and not to any other
information communicated in connection with the Certificates, without regard
to
whether the Trust Administrator Information or any portion thereof is presented
together with or separately from such other information.
Without
limiting any other indemnification provided pursuant to any other Section of
this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust
Administrator and the Depositor and each of its respective officers, directors
and affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments
and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the
obligations of the Master Servicer under Sections 3.20, 3.21 and 4.06 or the
Master Servicer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith In addition, the Master Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless
the
Depositor and each of its officers, directors and affiliates from and against
any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary
legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising
out
of or based upon (i) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Master Servicer
Certification, the Annual Statement of Compliance, the Assessment of Compliance,
any Additional Disclosure or other information provided by the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.20, 3.21 or 4.06 (the “Master Servicer Information”), or
(ii) 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 light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not
misleading; provided, by way of clarification, that clause (ii) of this
paragraph shall be construed solely by reference to the Master Servicer
Information and not to any other information communicated in connection with
the
Certificates, without regard to whether the Master Servicer Information or
any
portion thereof is presented together with or separately from such other
information.
In
addition, without limiting any other indemnification provided pursuant to any
other Section of this Agreement, the Paying Agent 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 Paying
Agent’s obligations under Section 4.06. If the indemnification
provided for under this paragraph is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless the Depositor, then the Paying Agent 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 Paying
Agent
on the other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Paying Agent
be liable under this paragraph for any consequential, indirect or punitive
damages.

THE
CERTIFICATES

SECTION
5.01
|
The
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Certificates in the aggregate will represent the entire beneficial ownership
interest in the Mortgage Loans and all other assets included in the Trust Fund.
At the Closing Date, the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the
Certificates will equal the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans.
The
Certificates will be substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits
A-1
through A-23. 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 by the Paying Agent and
delivered by the Authenticating Agent to or upon the order of the Depositor.
The
Certificates shall be executed and attested by manual or facsimile signature
on
behalf of the Paying Agent by an authorized signatory. Certificates bearing
the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the Paying Agent shall bind the Paying Agent,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the execution, 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
Authenticating Agent 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
Book-Entry Certificates shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates
held by 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 Certificate Registrar 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 Paying Agent 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 longer qualified
to
act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall, appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trust Administrator
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 Paying Agent resigns or is
removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the successor Paying Agent 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 Trust Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Paying Agent, the
Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar 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 Paying Agent 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 Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the
Certificate Registrar 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 or (ii) 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 Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent and the
Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar 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 Paying Agent 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, the Trust Administrator, the Authenticating Agent, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay
in the delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall

SECTION
5.02
|
Registration
of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
|
(a) The
Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at one of the offices or agencies
to be appointed by the Trust Administrator 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 Certificate Registrar
shall
provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges
of
Certificates as herein provided.
(b) No
transfer of any Private Certificate or Ownership Interest therein 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 Certificate Registrar shall require, receipt of 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, or in the case of any Definitive Certificate,
an
opinion of Counsel satisfactory to it that such transfer may be made without
such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Trust
Fund or of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Certificate Registrar, the Authenticating Agent , the Paying Agent, the Master
Servicer in its capacity as such or any Sub-Servicer), 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. In the event of any such
transfer of any Ownership Interest in any Private Certificate that is a
Book-Entry Certificate, except with respect to the initial transfer of any
such
Certificate by the Depositor, such transfer shall be required to be made in
reliance upon Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, and the transferor will be deemed
to
have made each of the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit F-1
hereto in respect of such interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive
Certificate and the transferee will be deemed to have made each of the
representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit F-1 hereto in respect of
such interest as if it was evidenced by a Definitive
Certificate. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to
register or qualify any such 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 any
such
Certificate or Ownership Interest therein shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar,
the
Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Master Servicer and the Depositor
against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is
not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
(c) (i) No
transfer of a Class P Certificate or a 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, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (“Plan
Assets”) as certified by such transferee in the form of Exhibit G, unless the
Certificate Registrar is provided with an Opinion of Counsel on which the
Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the
Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent and the Master Servicer may rely, to
the
effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificates will be permissible
under applicable law, ERISA and the Code, will not constitute or result in
any
non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and
will not subject the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust
Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate
Registrar 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, the Trust
Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate
Registrar or the Trust Fund. In lieu of such Opinion of Counsel, any prospective
Transferee of such Certificates may provide a certification in the form of
Exhibit G to this Agreement (or other form acceptable to the Depositor, the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent,
the Authenticating Agent and the Master Servicer), which the Certificate
Registrar may rely upon without further inquiry or investigation. Neither a
certification nor an Opinion of Counsel will be required in connection with
the
initial transfer of any such Certificate by the Depositor to an Affiliate of
the
Depositor (in which case, the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof shall have
deemed to have represented that such Affiliate is not a Plan or a Person
investing Plan Assets) and the Certificate Registrar shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon a representation (which, upon the request of the
Certificate Registrar, shall be a written representation) from the Depositor
of
the status of such transferee as an affiliate of the Depositor.
(ii) Each
beneficial owner of a Subordinate Certificate or any interest therein shall
be
deemed to have represented, by virtue of its acquisition and holding of such
Certificate or interest therein, that either (A) it is not a Plan or investing
with Plan Assets, (B) other than with respect to a Class 1-B4 Certificate,
Class
1-B5 Certificate, Class 1-B6 Certificate, Class 2-B4 Certificate, Class 2-B5
Certificate or Class 2-B6 Certificate, it has acquired and is holding such
Certificate in reliance on the Underwriter’s Exemption granted by the Department
of Labor on April 18, 1991 as Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 91-23 at
56 F.R. 15936 and amended on July 21, 1997 as PTE 97-34 at 62 F.R. 39021 and
further amended on November 13, 2000 by PTE 2000-58 at 65 F.R. 67765 and on
August 22, 2002 by PTE 2002-41 at 67 F.R. 54487 (“Underwriter’s Exemption”), and
that it understands that there are certain conditions to the availability of
the
Underwriter’s Exemption, including that the certificate must be rated, at the
time of purchase, not lower than “BBB-” (or its equivalent) by Fitch, Xxxxx’x or
S&P and it will represent that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in
Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and will obtain a
representation from any transferee that such transferee is an accredited
investor so long as it is required to obtain a representation regarding
compliance with the Securities Act, or (C) (i) it is an insurance company,
(ii)
the source of funds used to acquire or hold the Certificate or interest therein
is an “insurance company general account,” as defined in Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60, and (iii) the conditions in Sections I and III
of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied.
(iii) 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, the Trust Administrator, the Certificate Registrar,
the
Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent 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 Paying Agent 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 Certificate
Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it and shall
not register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate until its receipt of
an
affidavit and agreement (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 Certificate Registrar, 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 Certificate Registrar
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 Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar 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
Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate
Registrar as a condition to such registration. In addition, no Transfer of
a
Residual Certificate shall be made unless the Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar 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 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 Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar
on such terms as the Certificate Registrar may choose. Such purported Transferee
shall promptly endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance
with
the instructions of the Certificate Registrar. Such purchaser may be the
Certificate Registrar itself or any Affiliate of the Certificate Registrar.
The
proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may
include commissions payable to the Certificate Registrar or its
Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Certificate
Registrar 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
Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar 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
Trust
Administrator and the Certificate Registrar 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
Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar.
(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 Trust Administrator and the Certificate Registrar at the expense of
the
party seeking to modify, add to or eliminate any such provision the
following:
(A) written
notification from the Rating Agencies to the effect that the modification,
addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause the
Rating Agencies to downgrade its then-current ratings of any Class of
Certificates; and
(B) an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate
Registrar and the Trust Administrator, 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.
(e) Subject
to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any
Certificate at any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained
for
such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12, the Certificate Registrar shall give
notice of such surrender to the Paying Agent and the Authenticating Agent.
Upon
receipt of such notice, the Paying Agent shall execute and the Authenticating
Agent shall 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 Certificate Registrar maintained for
such purpose pursuant to Section 8.12. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, upon notice from the Certificate Registrar, the Paying
Agent shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer
or
exchange shall (if so required by the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed
by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar 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 Certificate Registrar in accordance with its customary
procedures.

Certificate Registrar receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Certificate
Registrar, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator 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 Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Paying Agent shall execute, and the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu
of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate
of the same Class and of like denomination and Percentage Interest. Upon the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Certificate Registrar
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar)
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

Liability
of the Depositor and the Master

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 Mae 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

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

of
the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without
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 Agencies’ ratings of the Certificates rated

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 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

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.

|
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
and the Trust Administrator, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld,
with written confirmation from the Rating Agencies (which confirmation shall
be
furnished to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator) that such
resignation will not cause the Rating Agencies to reduce the then current rating
of the Class A 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 and the Trust Administrator. 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.
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

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.

Rights
of the Depositor in Respect of the Master
Servicer.

that
each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator, 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

Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of each Initial Sub-Servicer, such
access and information described in the preceding two sentences shall be
required to be provided only to the extent provided in the Sub-Servicing
Agreement. To the extent such information is not otherwise available to the
public, the Depositor, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator 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, the Trust
Administrator or the Trust Fund, and in either case, the Depositor, the Trustee
or the Trust Administrator, 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.

at the direction of the Depositor that may be provided under such sections;
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

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 and shall not have been remedied by 1:00 p.m.
on
the related Distribution Date, the Paying Agent shall notify the Trustee of
the
same, and the Trustee shall be obligated to make such P&I Advance and, then
so long as such Master Servicer Event of Default shall not have been remedied
during the applicable time period set forth in clause (vi) above (including

writing to the Master Servicer and the Depositor, terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Master Servicer in its capacity as a 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 Servicer
Event 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 Servicer
Event
of Default is received by the Trustee and such notice references the
Certificates, the Trust Fund or this Agreement.

SECTION
7.02
|
Trustee
to Act; Appointment of Successor.
|
(a) 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, the Master Servicer shall not have the
right to withdraw any funds from the Collection Account without the consent
of
the Trustee 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. 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,
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 Agencies 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 succession. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as
hereinabove provided.
(b) In
connection with the termination or resignation of the Master Servicer hereunder,
either (i) the successor servicer, including the Trustee, if the Trustee is
acting as successor Master Servicer, shall represent and warrant that
it is a member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in all
material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with
the
servicing of the Mortgage Loans that are registered with MERS, in which case
the
predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer
in causing MERS to revise its records to reflect the transfer of servicing
to
the successor Master Servicer as necessary under MERS’ rules and regulations, or
(ii) the predecessor Master Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Master
Servicer in causing MERS to execute and deliver an assignment of Mortgage in
recordable form to transfer the Mortgage from MERS to the Trustee and to execute
and deliver such other notices, documents and other instruments as may be
necessary or desirable to effect a transfer of such Mortgage Loan or servicing
of such Mortgage Loan on the MERS® System to the successor Master Servicer. The
predecessor Master Servicer shall file or cause to be filed any such assignment
in the appropriate recording office. The predecessor Master Servicer shall
bear
any and all fees of MERS, costs of preparing any assignments of Mortgage, and
fees and costs of filing any assignments of Mortgage that may be required under
this Section 7.02(b).

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 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.

and
each of the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar
and
the Authenticating Agent, at all times, 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, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate
Registrar or the Authenticating Agent enumerated in this Agreement shall not
be
construed as a duty.
Each
of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate
Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, 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; provided, however,
that none of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the
Certificate Registrar or the Authenticating Agent will be responsible for the
accuracy or content of any such resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions,
reports, documents or other instruments. 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, the
Trust
Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Authenticating
Agent from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to
act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
(i) With
respect to the Trustee, 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, and with respect to the Trust Administrator, the Paying
Agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, at all times,
the
duties and obligations of each of the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the
Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Authenticating Agent, shall
be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, none of the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar
or
the Authenticating Agent shall 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, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar
or
the Authenticating Agent and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar
or
the Authenticating Agent, as applicable, the Trustee, the Trust Administrator,
the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Authenticating Agent, as
the
case may be, 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, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the
Certificate Registrar or the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, that
conform to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) None
of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate
Registrar or the Authenticating Agent shall be personally liable for any error
of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers
of it unless it shall be proved that it was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;
(iii) None
of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate
Registrar or the Authenticating Agent shall be personally liable with respect
to
any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the 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
(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 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.
None
of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate
Registrar or the Authenticating Agent shall be required to expend or risk its
own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any
of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, in
each
case not including expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by
the
Trustee, the Trust Administrator, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar
or
the Authenticating Agent, as applicable, including the compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, in the ordinary course
of
the Trustee’s, the Trust Administrator’s the Paying Agent’s, the Certificate
Registrar’s or the Authenticating Agent’s, as the case may be, performance in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, if there is reasonable ground
for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. With respect to the
Trustee, none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event
require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except
during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be
vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.

SECTION
8.07
|
Resignation
and Removal of the Trustee and the Trust
Administrator.
|
Either
of
the Trustee or the Trust Administrator 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 and, if the Trustee is resigning,
to the Trust Administrator, or, if the Trust Administrator is resigning, to
the
Trustee. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly
appoint a successor trustee or trust administrator (which may be the same Person
in the event the Trust Administrator resigns or is removed) by written
instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee or Trust Administrator and to the successor trustee or trust
administrator, as applicable. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered
to
the Certificateholders, the Trustee or Trust Administrator, as applicable,
and
the Master Servicer by the Depositor. If no successor trustee or trust
administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within
30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee
or
Trust Administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or trust administrator,
as applicable.
If
at any
time the Trustee or the Trust Administrator 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 in the case of the Trust
Administrator, the Trustee), or if at any time the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt
or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator or of its property or affairs for
the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor
(or
in the case of the Trust Administrator, the Trustee) may remove the Trustee
or
the Trust Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or
trust
administrator (which may be the same Person in the event the Trust Administrator
resigns or is removed) by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument
shall be delivered to the Trustee or Trust Administrator so removed and to
the
successor trustee or trust administrator. A copy of such instrument shall be
delivered to the Certificateholders, the Trustee or the Trust Administrator,
as
applicable, 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 or the Trust Administrator and appoint a successor
trustee or trust administrator 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 or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
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.
If
no
successor Trust Administrator shall have been appointed and shall have accepted
appointment within 60 days after the Trust Administrator ceases to be the Trust
Administrator pursuant to this Section 8.07, then the Trustee shall perform
the
duties of the Trust Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Trustee shall
notify the Rating Agencies of any change of Trust Administrator.
Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator and appointment
of a successor trustee or trust administrator, as the case may be, pursuant
to
any of the provisions of this Section shall not become effective until
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or trust administrator as
provided in Section 8.08. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Trust
Administrator advises the Trustee that it is unable to continue to perform
its
obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the appointment
of
a successor, the Trustee shall be obligated to perform such obligations until
a
new trust administrator is appointed. Such performance shall be without
prejudice to any claim by a party hereto or beneficiary hereof resulting from
the Trust Administrator’s breach of its obligations hereunder. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees the Trust Administrator
would have been entitled to if it had continued to act hereunder.

SECTION
8.08
|
Successor
Trustee or Trust Administrator.
|
Any
successor trustee or trust administrator appointed as provided in Section 8.07
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee or the
Trust Administrator, as applicable, and to its predecessor trustee or trust
administrator an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee or trust administrator
shall become effective and such successor trustee or trust administrator,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with
all
the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with
the like effect as if originally named as trustee or trust administrator herein.
The predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall deliver to the successor
trustee or trust administrator all Mortgage Files and related documents and
statements, as well as all moneys, held by it hereunder and the Depositor and
the predecessor trustee or trust administrator shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee or trust
administrator all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No
successor trustee or trust administrator shall accept appointment as provided
in
this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee or
trust administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06
and
the appointment of such successor trustee or trust administrator shall not
result in a downgrading of any Class of Certificates by the Rating Agencies,
as
evidenced by a letter from the Rating Agencies.
Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee or trust administrator as
provided in this Section, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession
of
such trustee or trust administrator hereunder to all Holders of 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 or trust administrator, the successor trustee or trust administrator
shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the
Depositor.

or Consolidation of Trustee or Trust
Administrator.
|
Any
corporation or association into which either the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator 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 or the Trust Administrator, as the case
may
be, shall be a party, or any corporation or association succeeding to the
business of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as applicable, shall be
the
successor of the Trustee or the Trust Administrator, as the case may be,
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-A or REMIC II
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
co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or
separate trustees, of all or any part of REMIC I-A or REMIC II, and to vest
in
such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to REMIC I-A or REMIC
II,
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-A or REMIC
II
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, 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.

Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets remaining in the trust funds.

been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent 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

involve the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities), and shall be
entitled to reimbursement from the Trust therefor to the extent permitted under

Fund.
(d) The
Trust

Administrator shall sign and the Trust Administrator shall file all of the
Tax
Returns in respect of the REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing

to the Trust Administrator or its designee such information with respect to
the
assets of the Trust Fund as is in its possession and reasonably required by
the
Trust Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this
Article.
(e) The
Trust
Administrator shall perform on behalf of any Trust REMIC all reporting and
other
tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of the REMIC under the Code,
the REMIC Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the Internal Revenue
Service or any state or local taxing authority including the filing of Form

with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days following the Closing Date.
Among its other duties, as required by the Code, the REMIC Provisions or other
such compliance guidance, the Trust Administrator 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
Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such
information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions
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 any Trust REMIC. The Master
Servicer shall provide on a timely basis to the Trust Administrator 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 Trust Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this
subsection. In addition, the Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided
to
the Trust Administrator, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all
information or data that the Trust Administrator reasonably determines to be
relevant for tax purposes as to the valuations and issue prices of the
Certificates, including, without limitation, the price, yield, Prepayment
Assumption and projected cash flow of the Certificates.
(f) The
Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator shall take such action
and shall cause any Trust REMIC to take such action as shall be necessary to
create or maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions.
The
Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator 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 and the Trust Administrator have received an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Trust Administrator (at the expense
of
the party seeking to take such action but in no event at the expense of the
Trust Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action
will not, with respect to any 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 or the
Trust Administrator 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 its assets, 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 and the Trust Administrator or their designee, in writing,
with
respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur
with
respect to any 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
or the Trust Administrator has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC
Event
could occur. The Trust Administrator and 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 or the Trust Administrator. At
all
times as may be required by the Code, the Trust Administrator, the Trustee
or
the Master Servicer will ensure that substantially all of the assets of any
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 the REMIC created
hereunder as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the “net income from
foreclosure property” of the REMIC as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on
any contributions to the 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 Trust Administrator pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Trust Administrator of any of its
obligations under this Article X, (ii) 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, (iii) 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, (iv) to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 10.03 hereof, if such tax arises
out of or results from a breach by the Paying Agent of any of its obligations
under this Article X, or otherwise (v) against amounts on deposit in the
Distribution Account and shall be paid by withdrawal therefrom.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) The
Trust
Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records
with respect to any Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual
basis.
(j) Following
the Startup Day, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Trust Administrator
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 Trust Fund will not cause the
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding or subject the REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other
applicable provisions of federal, state and local law or
ordinances.
(k) None
of
the Trustee, the Trust Administrator or the Master Servicer shall enter into
any
arrangement by which any Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation
for services nor permit either such 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.

be
ambiguous and/or inconsistent with any other provision herein or (iii) to make
any other provision with respect to any matter or question arising under this

identifying the mistake, stating that the amendment is needed to correct the

of Certificates entitled to at least 66% of the Voting Rights for the purpose

after the execution of any such amendment the Trust Administrator shall furnish
a copy of such amendment to each Certificateholder.
It
shall
not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this Section 11.01

of
obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the execution
thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable regulations
as
the Trust Administrator may prescribe.
The
cost
of any Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall
be borne by the Person seeking the related amendment, but in no event shall
such
Opinion of Counsel be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust
Administrator.

and Section References.

All
article and section references used in this Agreement, unless otherwise
provided, are to articles and sections in this Agreement.

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.
|
SECTION
11.10
|
Intention
of the Parties and Interpretation.
|
Each
of
the parties acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of Sections 3.20, 3.21
and 4.06 of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the
Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB promulgated by the Commission
under the 1934 Act (17 C.F.R. §§ 229.1100 - 229.1123), as such may be amended
from time to time and subject to clarification and interpretive advice as may
be
issued by the staff of the Commission from time to time. Therefore,
each of the parties agrees that (a) the obligations of the parties hereunder
shall be interpreted in such a manner as to accomplish that purpose, (b) the
parties’ obligations hereunder will be supplemented and modified as necessary to
be consistent with any such amendments, interpretive advice or guidance,
convention or consensus among active participants in the asset-backed securities
markets, opinion of counsel, or otherwise in respect of the requirements of
Regulation AB, (c) the parties shall comply with requests made by the Depositor
for delivery of additional or different information, to the extent that such
information is available or reasonably attainable, as the Depositor may
determine in good faith is necessary to comply with the provisions of Regulation
AB, and (d) no amendment of this Agreement shall be required to effect any
such
changes in the parties’ obligations as are necessary to accommodate evolving
interpretations of the provisions of Regulation AB; provided, however, that
any
such changes shall require the consent of each of the parties
hereto.
All
percentages of Voting Rights referred to herein shall be deemed, with respect
to
matters affecting the related Collateral Pool and the related Certificates,
to
mean percentages of the Voting Rights with respect to such related
Certificates.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator,
the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar and the
Trustee have caused their names to be signed hereto by their respective officers
thereunto duly authorized, in each case as of the day and year first above
written.

from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating
to
this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
in
such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement.

Pool
at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off

duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other

Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by
the
party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as

Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement

from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating
to
this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
in
such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement.
The

Pool
at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off

Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by
the
party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as
provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement

from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating
to
this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
in
such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement.
The
exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating
to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral
Pool
at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off
Date.
The

and the
Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness.

Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. 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 this Certificate
shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any
of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register

or
agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

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 Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust

Loan and REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by
the
party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as
provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement

from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating
to
this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
in
such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement.
The
exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating
to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral
Pool
at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool 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

primarily of a pool of conventional one- to four-family, adjustable-rate,

MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC.
THIS
CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR INTEREST IN CITIGROUP
MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST INC., THE MASTER SERVICER, THE TRUSTEE, THE TRUST
ADMINISTRATOR, CITIBANK, N.A. OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES. NEITHER
THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE UNDERLYING MORTGAGE LOANS ARE GUARANTEED BY ANY

This

certain beneficial ownership interest evidenced by all the Class 1-R
Certificates in the Trust Fund created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as specified above (the “Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage
Loan Trust Inc. (hereinafter called the “Depositor,” which term includes any
successor entity under the Agreement), the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee, a summary of certain of the
pertinent provisions of which is set forth hereafter. To the extent
not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned
in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement
the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and
by
which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be made on the 25th day of
each month
or, if such 25th day is
not a
Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (a “Distribution Date”),
commencing on the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in
whose name this Certificate is registered on the Record Date, in an amount
equal
to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and
the
amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class 1-R Certificates
on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will
be made
or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Paying Agent 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 the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the
office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for that purpose as provided
in
the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof
(herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest
specified above in the Class of Certificates to which this Certificate
belongs.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee
and the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. 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 this Certificate
shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any
of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
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 Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Certificate Registrar (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 1-R Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in a REMIC,
(B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income of
the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined in
the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses
or
benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial
means
to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding
the
Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate
Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to
a
Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman)
of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of
no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be
a
Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt
of
distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to
have
consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any 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 Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, Citibank, N.A. 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 Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
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
the
Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement
at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all
the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement
to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral
Pool
relating to this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in
the
Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase
is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
in
such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool 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 Authenticating
Agent, 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 Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

Interest, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No

available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Paying Agent 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 the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the
office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for that purpose as provided
in
the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof
(herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest
specified above in the Class of Certificates to which this Certificate
belongs.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee and
the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. 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 this Certificate
shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any
of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The
Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only without coupons in
Classes and denominations representing Percentage Interests specified in
the
Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations
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 Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
The
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, Citibank, N.A. 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 Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
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 the Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by
the
party designated in the Agreement at a price determined as
provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all the Mortgage
Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans. The Agreement
permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement to purchase
from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral Pool relating
to
this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan
in
such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in the Agreement.
The
exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates relating
to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase is subject to the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral
Pool
at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate principal balance
of
the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool as of the Cut-off
Date.
No
transfer of this Certificate shall be made unless the transfer is made to
a
“qualified institutional buyer” as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in a transaction that is exempt from
the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and that does not require
registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws. In
the
event that a transfer of this Certificate is to be made, the Certificate
Registrar shall require receipt of 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. None of the Depositor or the Trustee is obligated to register or
qualify the Class of Certificates specified on the face hereof under the
1933
Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required
under the Agreement to permit the transfer of such Certificates without
registration or qualification. Any Holder desiring to effect a transfer of
this
Certificate shall be required to indemnify the Trustee, the Depositor, the
Trust
Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating
Agent 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
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 Authenticating
Agent, 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 Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be duly

to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate and
the
amount required to be distributed to the Holders of Class 2-R Certificates
on
such Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement.
All
distributions to the Holder of this Certificate under the Agreement will
be made
or caused to be made by the Paying Agent by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account of the Person entitled thereto if such Person
shall have so notified the Paying Agent 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 the Person
entitled thereto, as such name and address shall appear on the Certificate
Register. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on this Certificate
will be made after due notice by the Paying Agent of the pendency of such
distribution and only upon presentation and surrender of this Certificate
at the
office or agency appointed by the Paying Agent for that purpose as provided
in
the Agreement.
This
Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates designated
as
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series specified on the face hereof
(herein called the “Certificates”) and representing the Percentage Interest
specified above in the Class of Certificates to which this Certificate
belongs.
The
Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain collections and
recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more specifically set forth
herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement, withdrawals from
the
Collection Account and the Distribution Account may be made from time to
time
for purposes other than distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes
including reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with
respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Depositor,
the
Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. and the Trustee
and the
rights of the Certificateholders, under the Agreement at any time by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A. 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 this Certificate
shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent
is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any
of the
Certificates.
As
provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth,
the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register
upon
surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices
or
agencies appointed by the Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement,
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by an assignment in the form below or other
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized
in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest
will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
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 Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
Prior
to
registration of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate,
the
proposed transferee shall provide to the Certificate Registrar (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 2-R Certificates have been designated as a residual interest in a REMIC,
(B) it will include in its income a pro rata share of the net income of
the Trust Fund and that such income may be an “excess inclusion,” as defined in
the Code, that, with certain exceptions, cannot be offset by other losses
or
benefits from any tax exemption, and (C) it expects to have the financial
means
to satisfy all of its tax obligations including those relating to holding
the
Class R Certificates. Notwithstanding the registration in the Certificate
Register of any transfer, sale or other disposition of this Certificate to
a
Disqualified Organization or an agent (including a broker, nominee or middleman)
of a Disqualified Organization, such registration shall be deemed to be of
no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such Person shall not be deemed to be
a
Certificateholder for any purpose, including, but not limited to, the receipt
of
distributions in respect of this Certificate.
The
Holder of this Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to
have
consented to the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Agreement and to any
amendment of the Agreement deemed necessary by counsel of the Depositor to
ensure that the transfer of this Certificate to any Person other than a
Permitted Transferee or any other Person will not cause any 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 Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
the
Trustee and any agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trust
Administrator, Citibank, N.A. 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 Trust Administrator, Citibank, N.A.,
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
the
Trust Fund and (ii) the purchase by the party designated in the Agreement
at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement from the Trust Fund of all
the
Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of such Mortgage Loans.
The
Agreement permits, but does not require, the party designated in the Agreement
to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans in the Collateral
Pool
relating to this Certificate and all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan in such Collateral Pool at a price determined as provided in
the
Agreement. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the
Certificates relating to such Collateral Pool; however, such right to purchase
is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans
in
such Collateral Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate
principal balance of the Mortgage Loans in such Collateral Pool 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 Authenticating
Agent, 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 Paying Agent has caused this Certificate to be duly
executed.

SERVICING
CRITERIA TO BE ADDRESSED IN ASSESSMENT
OF COMPLIANCE
Definitions
Primary
Servicer – transaction party having borrower contact
Master
Servicer – aggregator of pool assets
Trust
Administrator – waterfall calculator (may be the Trustee, or may be the Master
Servicer)
Back-up
Servicer – named in the transaction (in the event a Back up Servicer becomes the
Primary Servicer, follow Primary Servicer obligations)
Custodian
– safe keeper of pool assets
Paying
Agent – distributor of funds to ultimate investor
Trustee
–
fiduciary of the transaction
Note: The
definitions above describe the essential function that the party performs,
rather than the party’s title. So, for example, in a particular
transaction, the trustee may perform the “paying agent” and “trust
administrator” functions, while in another transaction, the trust administrator
may perform these functions.
Where
there are multiple checks for criteria the attesting party will identify
in
their management assertion that they are attesting only to the portion of
the
distribution chain they are responsible for in the related transaction
agreements.

FORM
OF
MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
MORTGAGE
LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This
is a
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated July 30, 2007 between
Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”) and
Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp., a New York corporation (the
“Seller”).
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 2007-AR8
(the
“Certificates”). The Certificates will consist of twenty-four classes of
certificates. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to a Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2007 (the “Pooling and Servicing
Agreement”), among the Purchaser as depositor, CitiMortgage, Inc. as master
servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”) and as trust administrator
(in such capacity, the “Trust Administrator”) Citibank, N.A. as paying agent,
certificate registrar and authenticating agent and U.S. Bank Trust 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 31, 2007 (the “Closing Date”), certain conventional,
one- to four-family, adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by first liens
on
residential real properties (the “Mortgage Loans”) originated by Countrywide
Home Loans, Inc. (“Countrywide”), Greenpoint Mortgage Funding, Inc.
(“Greenpoint”), and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Xxxxx Fargo”, each an “Originator”,
and together, the “Originators”), having an aggregate principal balance as of
the close of business on July 1, 2007 (the “Cut-off Date”) of approximately
$874,223,046.70 (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
and
any applicable additional interest accruing during the fixed-rate period on
any Relationship ARM with respect to which the applicable relationship
discount
has been reduced or eliminated.
Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing, the Seller shall retain its rights against each Originator
relating to remedies for breaches of loan-level representations and warranties
and remedies with respect to early payment defaults, if any.
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 prepared by the Seller based on information provided
by
the Originators.
Section
3. Consideration.
(a) In
consideration for the Mortgage Loans to be purchased hereunder, the Purchaser
shall, as described in Section 7, 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 Purchaser on
or
prior to the Closing Date are and shall be held in trust by 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 Mortgage
Note, the related Mortgage and the other contents of the related Mortgage
File
is vested in the Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents
with
respect to each related Mortgage Loan prepared by or that come into the
possession of the Seller on or after the Closing Date shall immediately
vest in
the Purchaser and shall be delivered immediately to the Purchaser or as
otherwise directed by the Purchaser.
(b) Delivery
of Mortgage Loan Documents. The Seller will, on or prior to the
Closing Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser or any
assignee,
transferee or designee of the Purchaser each of the following documents
for each
Mortgage Loan:
(i) the
original Mortgage Note, endorsed in one of the following forms: (1) in
the name
of the Trustee or (2) in blank, in each case, with all prior and intervening
endorsements showing a complete
chain of endorsement
from the originator to the Person so endorsing to the Trustee;
(ii) the
original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon;
(iii) an
original Assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form in blank or to the
Trustee;
(iv) the
original recorded Assignment or Assignments of the Mortgage showing a complete
chain of assignment from the originator to the Person assigning the Mortgage
in
blank or to the Trustee as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause
(iii);
(v) the
original of or a copy of each related assumption, modification, consolidation
or
extension agreement, with evidence of recording thereon, if any;
(vi) with
respect to any Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
as subject to a Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, the original
Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy or certificate;
(vii) the
original mortgagee title insurance policy or an attorney’s opinion of title
where customary; and
(viii) any
of
the following that are in the possession of the Seller or a document custodian
on its behalf: (A) the original of or a copy of any security agreement,
chattel
mortgage or equivalent document executed in connection with the Mortgage
or (B)
the original of or a copy of any power of attorney, if applicable.
With
respect to a maximum of approximately 5.00% of the original Mortgage Loans,
by
outstanding principal balance of the original Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-off
Date, if any original Mortgage Note referred to in Section 4(b)(i) above
cannot
be located, the obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall
be
deemed to be satisfied upon delivery to the Trust Administrator (as designee
of
the Purchaser) of a photocopy of such Mortgage Note, if available, with
a lost
note affidavit. If any of the original Mortgage Notes for which a lost
note
affidavit was delivered to the Trust Administrator is subsequently located,
such
original Mortgage Note shall be delivered to the Trust Administrator within
three Business Days.
If
any of
the documents referred to in Sections 4(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv) above has
as of
the Closing Date been submitted for recording but either (x) has not been
returned from the applicable public recording office or (y) has been lost
or
such public recording office has retained the original of such document,
the
obligations of the Seller to deliver such documents shall be deemed to
be
satisfied upon (1) delivery to the Trust Administrator of a copy of each
such
document certified by the Originator in the case of (x) above or the applicable
public recording office in the case of (y) above to be a true and complete
copy
of the original that was submitted for recording and (2) if such copy is
certified by the Originator, delivery to the Trust Administrator promptly
upon
receipt thereof of either the original or a copy of such document certified
by
the applicable public recording office to be a true and complete copy of
the
original.
To
the
extent not already recorded, the Trust Administrator, at the expense of
the
Seller shall pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement promptly (and
in no
event later than three months following the later of the Closing Date and
the
date of receipt by the Trust Administrator of the recording information
for a
Mortgage) submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at no expense
to the
Trust Estate or the Trust Administrator, in the appropriate public office
for
real property records, each Assignment delivered to it pursuant to Sections
4(b)(iii) and (iv) above. In the event that any such Assignment is lost
or
returned unrecorded because of a defect therein, the Trust Administrator,
at the
expense of the Seller, shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared a
substitute Assignment or cure or cause to be cured such defect, as the
case may
be, and thereafter cause each such Assignment to be duly
recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but without limiting the
requirement that such Assignments be in recordable form, neither the Trust
Administrator nor the Trustee shall be required to submit or cause to be
submitted for recording each Assignment delivered to it pursuant to Sections
4(b)(iii) and (iv) if such recordation shall not, as of the Closing Date,
be
required by the Rating Agencies, as a condition to their assignment on
the
Closing Date of their initial ratings to the Certificates, as evidenced
by the
delivery by the Rating Agencies of their ratings letters on the Closing
Date.
The
Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trust Administrator
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
Trust Administrator are and shall be held by or on behalf of the Seller,
the
Servicer, the Purchaser 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 Trust Administrator. Any such original document delivered
to or
held by the Seller or 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 related Servicer.
(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.
(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, 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 or the Trustee in connection with enforcing any
obligations of the Seller under this Agreement will be promptly reimbursed
by
the Seller.
(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

Warranties and Covenants of the Seller.

Seller and the Purchaser understand, acknowledge and agree that, the

Section
6. Repurchase
Obligation for Defective Documentation and for Breach of Representation
and
Warranty.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in
Section 5 shall survive the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser
and
shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and any assignee, transferee
or
designee of the Purchaser, including the Trustee for the benefit of holders
of
the Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates evidencing an interest in all or
a
portion of the Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified
endorsement on any Mortgage Note or Assignment or the examination or lack
of
examination of any Mortgage File. With respect to the representations
and warranties contained herein that are made to the knowledge or the best
knowledge of the Seller, or as to which the Seller has no knowledge, if
it is
discovered that the substance of any such representation and warranty is
inaccurate and the inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value
of the
related Mortgage Loan, or the interest therein of the Purchaser or the
Purchaser’s assignee, designee or transferee, then notwithstanding the Seller’s
lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of such representation
and
warranty being inaccurate at the time the representation and warranty was
made,
such inaccuracy shall be deemed a breach of the applicable representation
and
warranty and the Seller shall take such action described in the following
paragraphs of this Section 6 in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Upon
discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the
foregoing representations and warranties made by the Seller that materially
and
adversely affects the value of the Mortgage Loans or the interest of the
Purchaser (or which materially and adversely affects the interests of the
Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case of a representation
and
warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the party discovering
such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.
Within
90
days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any
breach
of a representation or warranty made by the Seller that materially and
adversely
affects the value of a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loans or the interest
therein of the Purchaser, the Seller shall use its best efforts promptly
to cure
such breach in all material respects and, if such breach cannot be cured,
the
Seller shall, at the Purchaser’s option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the
Purchase Price. The Seller may, at the request of the Purchaser and assuming
the
Seller has a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, rather than repurchase
a
deficient Mortgage Loan as provided above, remove such Mortgage Loan and
substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans.
If the
Seller does not provide a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans,
it shall
repurchase the deficient Mortgage Loan. Any repurchase of a Mortgage Loan(s)
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6 shall occur on a
date
designated by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in accordance
with Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Any repurchase
or
substitution required by this Section shall be made in a manner consistent
with
Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
At
the
time of substitution or repurchase by the Seller of any deficient Mortgage
Loan,
the Purchaser and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment of the
repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the delivery
to the
Seller of any documents held by the Trustee relating to the deficient or
repurchased Mortgage Loan. In the event the Purchase Price is deposited
in the
Collection Account. The Seller shall, simultaneously with such deposit,
give
written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken place. Upon
such
repurchase, the Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be amended to reflect the
withdrawal of the repurchased Mortgage Loan from this Agreement.
As
to any
Deleted Mortgage Loan for which the Seller substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution by delivering
to the Purchaser or its designee for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage
Loan or
Loans the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment and such other documents
and agreements as are required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
with the
Mortgage Note endorsed as required therein. The Seller shall remit for
deposit
in the Collection Account the Monthly Payment due on such Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan or Loans in the month following the date of such substitution.
Monthly payments due with respect to Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans
in the
month of substitution will be retained by the Seller. For the month of
substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will include the Monthly Payment
due on such Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and the
Seller
shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received
by the
Seller in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution,
the
Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and the Seller shall be deemed to have made
with
respect to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans as of the date
of
substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in
Section
5.
It
is
understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set forth
in
Section 5 shall survive delivery of the respective Mortgage Files to the
Trustee
on behalf of the Purchaser.
It
is
understood and agreed that (i) the obligations of the Seller set forth
in this
Section 6 to cure, repurchase and substitute for a defective Mortgage Loan
and
(ii) the obligations of the Seller as provided in the next sentence constitute
the sole remedies of the Purchaser respecting a missing or defective document
or
a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section
5. The Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it
harmless against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs
and
expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on
or
grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of the representations and warranties
contained in Sections 5(a), (c), (d) and (e) this Agreement.
Section

Mortgage Loans shall be held at the New York City office of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
& Wood llp at 10:00 AM New York City time on the Closing Date.
The
closing shall be subject to each of the following conditions:
(a) All
of
the representations and warranties of the Seller under this Agreement shall

are

of time,
would constitute a default under this Agreement;
(b) The
Purchaser shall have received, or the attorneys of the Purchaser shall

(i) Such
further information, certificates, opinions and documents as the Purchaser
or

Section

The Seller shall pay (or shall reimburse the Purchaser or any other Person
to
the extent that the Purchaser or such other Person shall pay) all necessary
and
reasonable costs and expenses incurred directly in delivering this Agreement,

Section

Section
11. 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 deliver the Mortgage Loans on or before the
Closing Date. The Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a lien on and a
continuing security interest in the Seller’s interest in each Mortgage Loan and
each document and instrument evidencing each such Mortgage Loan to secure
the
performance by the Seller of 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 Agreement and (ii) obligation to deliver or
cause
to be delivered the consideration for the Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section
7
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 7 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
11
shall be deemed to have been released.
Section
12. 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 to the Purchaser, addressed to
the
Purchaser at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000,
Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or such other address as may hereafter
be
furnished to the Seller in writing by the Purchaser, and if to the Seller,
addressed to the Seller at 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx
Xxxx
00000, Attention: Mortgage Finance Group, or such other address as may
hereafter
be furnished to the Purchaser in writing by the Seller.
Section
13. 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
14. Agreement
of Parties. The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver
such instruments and take such actions as either of the others may, from
time to
time, reasonably request in order to effectuate the purpose and to carry
out the
terms of this Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Section
15. Survival.
The Seller agrees that the representations, warranties and agreements made
by it
herein and in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant hereto
shall be deemed to be relied upon by the Purchaser, notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Purchaser or on its behalf,
and that the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Seller
herein or in any such certificate or other instrument shall survive the
delivery
of and payment for the Mortgage Loans and shall continue in full force
and
effect, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the
Mortgage
Notes and notwithstanding subsequent termination of this Agreement, the
Pooling
and Servicing Agreement or the Trust Fund.
Section
16. 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
17. 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 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.
Section
18. Indemnification.
The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless each of (i) the Purchaser,
(ii)
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and (iii) each person, if any, who controls
the
Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended (the “1933 Act”) ((i) through (iii) collectively, the “Indemnified
Party”) against any and all losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities
to
which the Indemnified Party may become subject, under the 1933 Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions
in
respect thereof) arise out of, are based upon, or result from, a breach
by the
Seller of any of the representations and warranties made by the
Seller herein, it being understood that the Purchaser has relied upon such
representations and warranties.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Purchaser and the Seller have caused their names to
be
signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the
date
first above written.

EXHIBIT
A
Representation
and Warranties with Respect to the Countrywide Mortgage
Loans
Except
for “Mortgage Loans”, which
shall mean the Countrywide Mortgage Loans sold by the Seller to the Purchaser,
all capitalized terms in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings ascribed
to them
in the Countrywide Purchase Agreement.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan (unless otherwise specified below), Countrywide
represents and warrants to the Purchaser as of the related Closing Date
that:
(a) Mortgage
Loan Schedule. The information contained in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects;
(b) No
Delinquencies or Advances. All payments required to be made prior
to the related Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan under the terms of the
Mortgage Note have been made; Countrywide has not advanced funds, or induced,
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other
than the
owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly,
for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan; and there
has been
no delinquency of more than thirty (30) days in any payment by the Mortgagor
thereunder during the last twelve (12) months;
(c) Taxes,
Assessments, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges. There are no
delinquent taxes, ground rents, or insurance premiums, and Countrywide
has no
knowledge of any delinquent water charges, sewer rents, assessments, leasehold
payments, including assessments payable in future installments or other
outstanding charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property;
(d) No
Modifications. The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except
by
written instruments that have been or will be recorded or registered with
the
MERS System, if necessary to protect the interests of the Purchaser, and
that
have been or will be delivered to the Purchaser, all in accordance with
this
Agreement. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer,
if any,
and by the title insurer, to the extent required by the related policy
and its
terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Mortgagor has
been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption
agreement approved by the primary mortgage insurer, if any, and the title
insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement
is
part of the Collateral File and the terms of which are reflected in the
Mortgage
Loan Schedule if executed prior to the Closing Date;
(e) No
Defenses. 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, 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;
(f) Hazard
and Flood Insurance. All buildings upon the Mortgaged Property
are insured by an insurer acceptable to an Agency against loss by fire,
hazards
of extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area
where
the Mortgaged Property is located, and such insurer is licensed to do business
in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located. All such
insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming Countrywide,
its
successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been
paid. If, upon the origination of the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged
Property was, or was subsequently deemed to be, in an area identified in
the
Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special
flood hazards (and such flood insurance has been made available), a flood
insurance policy that meets the requirements of the current guidelines
of the
Federal Insurance Administration (or any successor thereto) and conforms
to the
requirements of an Agency is in effect. The Mortgage obligates the
Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense
and, upon the failure of the Mortgagor to do so, the holder of the Mortgage
is
authorized to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s expense and to seek
reimbursement herefore from the Mortgagor;
(g) Compliance
with Applicable Law. Each Mortgage Loan, including any Prepayment
Charge or penalty in connection therewith, at the time of origination complied
in all material respects with applicable local, state and federal laws,
and any
applicable ordinances, including truth in lending, real estate settlement
procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, predatory
and
abusive lending and disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage
Loan;
(h) No
Release of Mortgage. 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 release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission;
(i) Enforceability
of Mortgage Documents. 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, except as the enforceability
thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar
laws;
(j) Valid
First or Second Lien. Each related Mortgage is a valid,
subsisting and enforceable First Lien (with respect to a First Lien Mortgage
Loan) or Second Lien (with respect to a Second Lien Mortgage Loan) on the
related Mortgaged Property, including all improvements on the Mortgaged
Property. The lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:
(i) the
lien
of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and
payable;
(ii) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters
of
public record as of the date of recording that are 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 that
do not adversely affect the Appraised Value (as evidenced by an appraisal
referred to in such definition) of the Mortgaged Property set forth in
such
appraisal;
(iii) with
respect to a Second Lien Mortgage Loan only, the lien of the first mortgage
on
the Mortgaged Property; and
(iv) 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;
(k) Disbursements
of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully
disbursed, and there is no requirement for future advances 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 therefore have been complied
with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the
Mortgage Loan and recording the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is
not
entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note
or
Mortgage;
(l) Sole
Owner. Countrywide is the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage
Loan. The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and Countrywide
has good and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and
sell
the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and has full right and
authority subject to no interest or participation of, or agreement with,
any
other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms
of this
Agreement;
(m) Title
Insurance. Each Mortgage Loan that is a First Lien Mortgage Loan
and each Mortgage Loan that is a Second Lien Mortgage Loan with an original
principal balance greater than $100,000, in either case, is covered by
a
lender’s title insurance policy acceptable to an Agency, issued by a title
insurer acceptable to an Agency and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction
where the related Mortgaged Property is located, insuring (subject to the
exceptions contained in Section 3.02(j)(i), (ii) and (iii) above) Countrywide,
its successors and assigns as to the first or second priority lien of the
Mortgage, as applicable. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance
policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments
by or
upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. With respect to
any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, such title insurance policy insures
against
any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting
from the provisions of the Mortgage Note providing for adjustment of the
Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Countrywide 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
Countrywide, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair
the
coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy;
(n) No
Default. 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 Countrywide has not waived any default, breach, violation
or
event of acceleration, and with respect to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan,
Countrywide has not received a written notice of default of any senior
mortgage
loan related to the Mortgaged Property which has not been cured;
(o) No
Mechanics’ Liens. 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) affecting the
related
Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate
with, the lien of the related Mortgage;
(p) Origination,
Servicing and Collection Practices. The origination, servicing
and collection practices used by Countrywide with respect to each Mortgage
Note
and Mortgage have been in all respects legal, proper, prudent and customary
in
the mortgage origination and servicing business. With respect to
escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, if any, all such payments are in the
possession of, or under the control of, Countrywide 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 Countrywide have been capitalized
under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note. With respect to
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, all Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments
have been
made in strict compliance with state and federal law and the terms of the
related Mortgage Note. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to
state and local law has been properly paid and credited;
(q) No
Condemnation or Damage. The Mortgaged Property is free of
material damage and waste and there is no proceeding pending for the total
or
partial condemnation thereof;
(r) Customary
and Enforceable Provisions. The Mortgage contains 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;
(s) Collateral. The
Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except
the lien
of the corresponding Mortgage;
(t) Appraisal. Unless
the Mortgage Loan was underwritten pursuant to one of Countrywide’s streamline
documentation programs, the Credit File contains an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application
by an appraiser who meets the minimum requisite qualifications of an Agency
for
appraisers, duly appointed by the originator, that had no interest, direct
or
indirect in the Mortgaged Property, and whose compensation is not affected
by
the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan; the appraisal is in a
form
acceptable to an Agency, with such riders as are acceptable to such
Agency. 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.
Each
appraisal of the Mortgage Loan was made in accordance with the relevant
provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement
Act
of 1989;
(u) Trustee
for Deed of Trust. 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;
(v) Private
Mortgage Insurance, FHA Insurance and VA Guarantees. Each
Mortgage Loan, except a Second Lien Mortgage Loan or a Mortgage Loan
underwritten in accordance with sub-prime credit underwriting guidelines
(as any
such Mortgage Loans may be identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule), with
an
LTV at origination in excess of eighty percent (80%) is and will be subject
to a
PMI Policy, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan over seventy-five
percent (75%) of the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged
Property. All provisions of such PMI 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 PMI
Policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain such insurance and
to pay
all premiums and charges in connection therewith or, in the case of a lender
paid mortgage insurance policy, the premiums and charges are included in
the
Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan. Each Government
Mortgage Loan either has, or will have in due course, a valid and enforceable
MIC or LGC, as applicable and, in each case, all premiums due thereunder
have
been paid;
(w) Lawfully
Occupied. At origination, to the best of Countrywide’s knowledge
as of the Closing Date, the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under
applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required
to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged
Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same including
certificates of occupancy, have been made or obtained from the appropriate
authorities;
(x) Assignment
of Mortgage. Except for the absence of recording information, the
Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is
located. The original Mortgage was or is being recorded and, unless
the Mortgage Loan is subject to the MERS System, all subsequent assignments
of
the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to Purchaser) have been
recorded in the appropriate jurisdiction wherein such recordation is necessary
to perfect the lien thereof against creditors of Countrywide, or is in
the
process of being recorded;
(y) Consolidation
of Future Advances. Any future 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
consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount
of
the Mortgage Loan;
(z) Form
of Mortgage Note and Mortgage. The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are
on forms acceptable to an Agency;
(aa) Section
32 Loans. 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, “high risk” mortgage loan; “covered” mortgage loan or
“predatory” mortgage loan or a similarly classified mortgage loan using
different terminology under a law imposing heightened regulatory scrutiny
or
additional legal liability for residential mortgage loans having high interest
rates, points and /or fees, no matter how defined, under any federal, state
or
local law or ordinance, including, without limitation, Section 6-L of the
New
York Banking 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 or any other statute or regulation providing assignee
liability to holders of such mortgage loans;
(bb) Originator
Supervision. The Mortgage Loan was originated by Countrywide or
by 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;
(cc) Foreclosure;
Bankruptcy. The Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any
bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not
filed
for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws. 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. Countrywide has no knowledge of any relief
requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil
Relief Act of 1940;
(dd) Payment
Source; Buydown. No Mortgage contains provisions pursuant to
which Monthly Payments are (a) paid or partially paid with funds deposited
in
any separate account established by the Seller, the Mortgagor, or anyone
on
behalf of the Mortgagor, (b) paid by any source other than the Mortgagor
or (c)
contains any other similar provisions which may constitute a “buydown”
provision. The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan
and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent
interest feature;
(ee) Construction;
Exchange. No Mortgage Loan was made solely in connection with (a)
the construction or rehabilitation of a Mortgaged Property or (b) facilitating
the trade-in or exchange of a Mortgaged Property.
(ff) Investment. Countrywide
has no knowledge of any circumstances or condition with respect to the
Mortgage,
the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor, or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that
can reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to be an unacceptable
investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or materially
and
adversely affect the value of the Mortgage Loan.
(gg) Accrual
Method. Interest on each Mortgage Loan is calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months; and
(hh) Lending
Practices. No predatory, abusive or deceptive lending practices,
including, but not limited to, the extension of credit to the Mortgagor
without
regard for the Mortgagor’s ability to repay the Mortgage Loan and the extension
of credit to the Mortgagor which has no apparent benefit to the Mortgagor,
were
employed by the originator of the Mortgage Loan in connection with the
origination of the Mortgage Loan;
(ii) Prepayment
Charges. Each Prepayment Charge or penalty with respect to any
Mortgage Loan is permissible, enforceable and collectible under applicable
federal, state and local law;
(jj) No
Adverse Selection. The Mortgage Loans were not selected from the
outstanding one to four-family mortgage loans in Countrywide’s portfolio at the
related Closing Date as to which the representations and warranties set
forth in
this Agreement could be made in a manner so as to affect adversely the
interests
of the Purchaser;
(kk) Due
on
Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable 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 thereunder;
(ll) Legal
Capacity. To the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, 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;
(mm) Doing
Business. Countrywide is, and to the best of Countrywide’s
knowledge, all parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan,
whether
as mortgagee, assignee, heref 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;
(nn) Interest
Rates; Amortization. Except for a Mortgage Loan, the Monthly
Payment of which consists of interest only for a specified period of time
(and
which Mortgage Loan is identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule), principal
payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after the
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears
interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan other than an interest-only Mortgage Loan or Balloon Mortgage Loan,
the
Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments,
which, in the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, is sufficient to fully
amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof
and to
pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and, in the case of
an
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, is changed on each Adjustment Date and is
sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the original
term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
as an
interest-only Mortgage Loan, the interest-only period shall not exceed
the
period specified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and, following the expiration
of
such interest-only period, the remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient
to
fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining term of
the
Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Balloon Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage Note requires Monthly Payments sufficient to fully amortize the
original principal balance over the original term thereof and to pay interest
at
the related Mortgage Interest Rate but requires a final Monthly Payment
which is
substantially greater than the penultimate Monthly Payment and sufficient
to
repay the remaining unpaid principal balance of the Balloon Mortgage Loan
on the
Due Date of such final Monthly Payment;
(oo) Underwriting
Standards. The Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with
the underwriting standards of Countrywide in effect at the time the Mortgage
Loan was originated;
(pp) Disclosures. The
Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by applicable
law with
respect to the making of fixed rate mortgage loans in the case of Fixed
Rate
Mortgage Loans, and adjustable rate mortgage loans in the case of Adjustable
Rate Mortgage Loans and rescission materials with respect to Refinanced
Mortgage
Loans, and such statement is and will remain in the Mortgage File;
(qq) No
Fraud. No error, omission, misrepresentation, fraud or similar
occurrence with respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part
of
Countrywide or, to the best of Countrywide’s knowledge, any other 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;
(rr) Condominiums;
Planned Unit Developments. If the Residential Dwelling on the
Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or a unit in a planned unit development
(other than a de minimis planned unit development) such condominium or
planned
unit development project meets the eligibility requirements of FNMA and
FHLMC;
(ss) No
Credit Life. No Mortgagor was required to purchase any credit
life, disability, accident or health insurance product as a condition of
obtaining the extension of credit. No proceeds from any Mortgage Loan
were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies as a condition
to
closing such Mortgage Loan;
(tt) Disclosure
of Fees and Charges. All fees and charges (including finance
charges), whether or not financed, assessed, collected or to be collected
in
connection with the origination and servicing of a Mortgage Loan, have
been
disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state
and
federal law and regulation;
(uu) Compliance
with Consumer Credit Statutes. The Mortgage Loan complies with
all applicable consumer credit statutes and regulations, including, without
limitation, the respective Uniform Consumer Credit Code laws in effect
in
Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
Utah
and Wyoming, has been originated by a properly licensed entity, and in
all other
respects, complies with all of the material requirements of any such applicable
laws;
(vv) No
Coops, Commercial Property or Mobile Homes. No Mortgage Loan is
secured by cooperative housing, commercial property or mixed use property,
and
no Mortgage Loan is a manufactured or mobile home;
(ww) Fair
Credit Reporting. Countrywide has fully furnished and will
continue to furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and
its
implementing regulations (the “FCRA”), accurate and complete information (i.e.,
favorable and unfavorable) on its Mortgagor credit files to Equifax, Experian,
and Trans Union Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories),
on a monthly basis, and will fully furnish, in accordance with the FCRA,
accurate and complete information (i.e., favorable and unfavorable) on
its
mortgagor credit files to Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union Credit Information
Company, on a monthly basis;
(xx) Privacy. With
regard to each Mortgagor, Countrywide shall at all times comply with all
laws
and regulations regarding use, disclosure and safeguarding of any and all
customer information, including without limitation the Gramm Xxxxx Xxxxxx
Act,
the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Regulation P. Countrywide has
implemented or will implement appropriate measures designed to meet the
objectives of the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding
Customer Information, 12 CFR Part 30 Appendix B, and has been and continues
to
be engaged in reviewing its information security program, training of staff,
and
testing of controls, systems and procedures as required by those
guidelines;
(yy) Anti-Money
Laundering Laws. Countrywide 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”);
Countrywide has established an anti-money laundering compliance program
as

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

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;
(zz) OFAC. No
Mortgage Loan is subject to nullification pursuant to Executive Order 13224,
an
no Mortgagor is subject to the provisions of such Executive Order;

recording office;
(bbb) MOM
Loans; No Notices of Liens. With respect to each MOM Loan,
Countrywide has not received any notice of liens or legal actions with
respect
to such Mortgage Loan and no such notices have been electronically posted
by
MERS;
(ccc) The
Mortgage Note (or lost note affidavit with market standard indemnification),
the

prior to the payment of the Purchase Price for each Mortgage Loan, Countrywide
was the owner of the related Mortgage and the indebtedness evidenced by
the
related Mortgage Note and upon the payment of the Purchase Price by the
Purchaser, in the event that Countrywide or one of its affiliates retains
record
title, Countrywide or such affiliate shall retain such record title to
each
Mortgage, each related Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage Files with

EXHIBIT
B
Representation
and Warranties with Respect to the Greenpoint Mortgage
Loans
Except
for “Mortgage Loans”, which shall mean the Greenpoint Mortgage Loans sold by the
Seller to the Purchaser, all capitalized terms in this Exhibit B shall
have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Greenpoint Purchase Agreement.
The
Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that, as to each
Mortgage
Loan, as of the related Closing Date for such Mortgage Loan:
(i) The
information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Mortgage
Loan data delivered to the Purchaser on the Data Tape is complete, true
and
correct in all material respects;
(ii) The
Mortgage Loan is in compliance with all requirements set forth in the related
Confirmation, and the characteristics of the related Mortgage Loan Package
as
set forth in the related Confirmation are true and correct;
(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
Seller 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. No payment under the Mortgage Loan has
been delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage
Loan;
(iv) 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) The
Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule and is improved by a Residential Dwelling;
(vi) The
terms
of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered
or
modified in any respect, except by written instruments, recorded in the
applicable public recording office or registered with the MERS System if
necessary to maintain the lien priority of the Mortgage, and which have
been
delivered to the Purchaser; the substance of any such waiver, alteration
or
modification has been approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance
Policy
or LPMI Policy, if any, and the title insurer, to the extent required by
the
related policy, and is reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.
No
instrument of waiver, alteration or modification has been executed, and
no
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection
with an
assumption agreement approved by the insurer under the Primary Insurance
Policy
or LPMI Policy, if any, the title insurer, to the extent required by the
policy,
and which assumption agreement has been delivered to the Purchaser and
the terms
of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;
(vii) The
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not subject to any right of rescission,
reformation, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury,
nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note and/or
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,
reformation, set off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury
and no such right of rescission, reformation, set off, counterclaim or
defense
has been asserted with respect thereto, and there is no basis for the Mortgage
Loan to be modified or reformed without the consent of the Mortgagor under
applicable law. Each Prepayment Charge or penalty with respect to any
Mortgage Loan is permissible, enforceable and collectible under applicable
federal, state and local law;
(viii) All
buildings upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer
acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC against loss by fire, hazards of extended
coverage
and such other hazards as are customary in the area where the Mortgaged
Property
is located, in an amount not less than the lesser of (i) 100% of the replacement
cost of all improvements to the Mortgaged Property and (ii) either (A)
the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect to each
first
lien Mortgage Loan (including any cumulative related Negative Amortization)
or
(B) with respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, the sum of the outstanding
principal balance of the related first lien mortgage loan and the outstanding
principal balance of the Second Lien Mortgage Loan ; provided, however,
in no
event shall the amount of insurance be less than the amount necessary to
avoid
the operation of any co-insurance provisions with respect to the Mortgaged
Property. All such insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee clause
naming
the Servicer, its successors and assigns as mortgagee and all premiums
thereon
have been paid. If the Mortgaged Property is 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 FNMA and FHLMC and in an amount
not less
than the greater of (i) lesser of (a) 100% of the replacement cost of all
improvements to the Mortgaged Property and (b) either (A) the outstanding
principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect to each first lien
Mortgage
Loan (plus the maximum amount of Negative Amortization in accordance with
the
Mortgage) or (B) with respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, the sum
of the
outstanding principal balance of the related first lien mortgage loan and
the
outstanding principal balance of the Second Lien Mortgage Loan and (ii)
the
maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968 or the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,
as
amended; provided, however, in no event shall the amount of insurance be
less
than the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions
with respect to the Mortgaged Property. 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 Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek
reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor;
(ix) 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, fair housing, disclosure laws
and
all predatory, abusive and fair lending laws applicable to the origination

and
shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee, upon two Business Days’ request,
evidence of compliance with such requirements;
(x) The
Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled, 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;
(xi) The
related Mortgage is properly recorded and is a valid, existing and enforceable
(A) first lien and first priority security interest with respect to each

security
interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller

and
first priority security interest with respect to each Mortgage Loan which
is
indicated by the Seller to be a First Lien (as reflected on the Mortgage
Loan
Schedule) or (B) second lien and second priority security interest with

to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien

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;

and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement
free and
clear of any encumbrance or right of others, equity, lien, pledge, charge,
mortgage, claim, participation interest or security interest of any nature
(collectively, a “Lien”); and immediately upon the transfers and assignments
herein contemplated, the Seller shall have transferred and sold all of
its
right, title and interest in and to each Mortgage Loan and the Purchaser
will
hold good, marketable and indefeasible title to, and be the owner of, each
Mortgage Loan subject to no Lien;
(xvi) All
parties which have had any interest in the Mortgage Loan, whether as originator,
mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are (or, during the period in

lender’s title insurance policy (which, in the case of an Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Loan has an adjustable rate mortgage endorsement in the form of
ALTA
6.0 or 6.1), issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC and
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property
is
located, insuring (subject to the exceptions contained above in (xi)(a)
and (b)
and, with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller
to be a
Second Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule)
clause
(d)) the Seller, its successors and assigns as to the first priority lien
of the
Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and, with
respect
to any Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, against any loss by reason of the
invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions
of the
Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly
Payment. 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 Seller 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 Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything
which
would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy;
(xviii) There
is
no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the

not
waived any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan which is indicated by the Seller to be a
Second
Lien Mortgage Loan (as reflected on the Mortgage Loan Schedule) (i) the
First
Lien is in full force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation
or
event of acceleration existing under such First Lien mortgage or the related
mortgage note, (iii) 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 thereunder, and either (A) the First
Lien
mortgage contains a provision which allows or (B) applicable law requires,
the
mortgagee under the Second Lien Mortgage Loan to receive notice of, and
affords
such mortgagee an opportunity to cure any default by payment in full or
otherwise under the First Lien mortgage;
(xix) 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

liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related
Mortgage;
(xx) 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;
(xxi) The
Mortgage Loan was originated by the Seller 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;
(xxii) Payments
on the Mortgage Loan shall commence (with respect to any newly originated
Mortgage Loans) or commenced no more than sixty days after the proceeds
of the
Mortgage Loan were disbursed. The Mortgage Loan bears interest at the
Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage Note is payable on the first day of each month in Monthly Payments,
which, (A) in the case of a Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, are sufficient to
fully
amortize the original principal balance over the original term thereof
and to
pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate, and (B) in the case
of an
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, are changed on each Adjustment Date, and
in any
case, are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over
the
original term thereof and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest
Rate. The Index for each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan is as defined
in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. With respect to each Mortgage
Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an interest-only Mortgage
Loan,
the interest-only period shall not exceed the period specified on the Mortgage
Loan Schedule and following the expiration of such interest-only period,
the
remaining Monthly Payments shall be sufficient to fully amortize the original
principal balance over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan. The
Mortgage Note does not permit negative amortization. No Mortgage Loan
is a Convertible Mortgage Loan;
(xxiii) The
origination practices used by the Seller and the collection practices used
by
the Servicer, with respect to each Mortgage Note and Mortgage have been

Servicer and any predecessor servicer in accordance with all applicable
laws,
rules and regulations, the terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage, and
the FNMA
and FHLMC servicing guides. With respect to escrow deposits and
Escrow Payments (other than with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is
indicated by the Seller to be a Second Lien Mortgage Loan and for which

on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule)), if any, all such payments are in the possession
of, or under the control of, the 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 Seller have been capitalized under any Mortgage or
the
related Mortgage Note and no such escrow deposits or Escrow Payments are
being
held by the Servicer for any work on a Mortgaged Property which has not
been
completed;

for the total or partial condemnation thereof nor is such a proceeding
currently
occurring;
(xxv) The
Mortgage and related Mortgage Note contain customary and enforceable provisions

a deed
of trust, by trustee’s sale, and (b) otherwise by judicial
foreclosure. The Mortgaged Property has not been subject to any
bankruptcy proceeding or foreclosure proceeding and the Mortgagor has not

Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral except
the lien
of the corresponding Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property and the security
interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage referred

Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property which,
(a)
with respect to First Lien Mortgage Loans, was on appraisal form 1004 or

Loans, was on appraisal form 704, 2065 or 2055 with an exterior only inspection,
and (c) with respect to (a) or (b) above, was made and signed, prior to

provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement
Act
of 1989;
(xxx) 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

to the
Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit
standing that can reasonably be expected to cause the Mortgage Loan to
be an
unacceptable investment, cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent,
cause the
Mortgage Loan to not be paid in full when due, or adversely affect the
value of
the Mortgage Loan;
(xxxvi) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan with an original Loan-to-Value Ratio greater
than
80%, the Mortgage Loan will be insured by a Primary Insurance Policy, issued
by
a Qualified Insurer, which insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan in
excess
of the portion of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property required
by
FNMA. 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 there under have been paid. Any Mortgage subject to any
such Primary Insurance Policy obligates the Mortgagor there under to maintain
such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges in connection
therewith. The Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan does not
include any such insurance premium. If a Mortgage Loan is identified
on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as subject to a Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance
Policy, such policy insures that portion of the Mortgage Loan set forth
in the
LPMI Policy. All provisions of any such LPMI Policy have been and are
being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and all premiums

located;

Mortgagor did not qualify taking into account credit history and debt to
income
ratios for a lower cost credit product then offered by the Seller or any
affiliate of the Seller. If, at the time of the related loan
application, the Mortgagor may have qualified for a lower cost credit product
then offered by any mortgage lending affiliate of the Seller, the Seller
referred the Mortgagor’s application to such affiliate for underwriting
consideration;
(lxvii) The
methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for each Mortgage
Loan
did not rely solely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as
the principal determining factor in approving such extension of credit.
The
methodology employed objective criteria such as the Mortgagor’s income, assets
and liabilities, to the proposed mortgage payment and, based on such
methodology, the Mortgage Loan’s originator made a reasonable determination that
at the time of origination the Mortgagor had the ability to make timely
payments
on the Mortgage Loan;
(lxviii) Except
with respect to Mortgage Loans originated by North Fork, all points, fees
and
charges, including finance charges (whether or not financed, assessed,
collected
or to be collected), in connection with the origination and servicing of
any
Mortgage Loan were disclosed in writing to the related Mortgagor in accordance
with state and federal laws and regulations and no related Mortgagor was
charged
“points and fees” (whether or not financed) in an amount that exceeds the
greater of (1) 5% of the principal amount of such loan or (2)
$1,000. For the purposes of this representation, “points and fees”
(a) include origination, underwriting, broker and finder’s fees and charges that
the lender imposed as a condition of making the Mortgage Loan, whether
they are
paid to the lender or a third party; and (b) exclude bona fide discount
points,
fees paid for actual services rendered in connection with the origination
of the
Mortgage Loan (such as attorneys’ fees, notaries fees and fees paid for property
appraisals, credit reports, surveys, title examinations and extracts, flood
and
tax certifications, and home inspections) and the cost of mortgage insurance
or
credit-risk price adjustments; the costs of title, hazard, and flood insurance
policies; state and local transfer taxes or fees; escrow deposits for the
future
payment of taxes and insurance premiums; and other miscellaneous fees and
charges, which miscellaneous fees and charges in total, do not exceed 0.25
percent of the loan amount);
(lxix) The
Servicer will transmit full-file credit reporting data for each Mortgage
Loan
pursuant to Xxxxxx Xxx Guide Announcement 95-19 and for each Mortgage Loan,
Company agrees it shall report one of the following statuses each month
as
follows: new origination, current, delinquent (30-, 60-, 90-days, etc.),
foreclosed, or charged-off;
(lxx) No
Mortgage Loan is a “manufactured housing loan” pursuant to the NJ Act, and one
hundred percent of the amount financed of any purchase money Second Lien
Mortgage Loan subject to the NJ Act was used for the purchase of the related
Mortgaged Property;
(lxxi) With
respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, a MIN has been assigned by MERS and
such MIN
is accurately provided on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The related
assignment of Mortgage to MERS has been duly and properly recorded;
(lxxii) With
respect to each MERS Mortgage Loan, the Seller has not received any notice
of
liens or legal actions with respect to such Mortgage Loan and no such notices
have been electronically posted by MERS;
(lxxiii) No
Mortgagor agreed to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising
out of
or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan;
(lxxiv) With
respect to any Mortgage Loan for which a mortgage loan application was
submitted
by the Mortgagor after April 1, 2004, no such Mortgage Loan secured by
a
Mortgage Property located in the State of Illinois is in violation of the
provisions of the Illinois Interest Act, including Section 4.1a which provides
that no such Mortgage Loan with a Mortgage Interest Rate in excess of 8.0%
per
annum has lender-imposed fees (or other charges) in excess of 3.0% of the
original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan;
(lxxv) No
Mortgage Loan is secured in whole or in part by the interest of the Mortgagor
as
a lessee under a ground lease of the related Mortgaged Property;
(lxxvi) No
Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in the Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts was made to pay off or refinance an existing loan or other
debt of
the related borrower (as the term “borrower” is defined in the regulations
promulgated by the Massachusetts Secretary of State in connection with
Massachusetts House Xxxx 4880 (2004)) unless either (1) (a) the related
Mortgage
Interest Rate (that would be effective once the introductory rate expires,
with
respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans) did or would not exceed by more
than
2.25% the yield on United States Treasury securities having comparable
periods
of maturity to the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan as of the fifteenth
day
of the month immediately preceding the month in which the application for
the
extension of credit was received by the related lender or (b) the Mortgage
Loan
is an “open-end home loan” (as such term is used in the Massachusetts House Xxxx
4880 (2004)) and the related Mortgage Note provides that the related Mortgage

in
The Wall Street Journal plus a margin of one percent, or (2) such Mortgage
Loan
is in the "borrower's interest," as documented by a "borrower's interest
worksheet" for the particular Mortgage Loan, which worksheet incorporates
the
factors set forth in Massachusetts House Xxxx 4880 (2004) and the regulations
promulgated thereunder for determining "borrower's interest," and otherwise
complies in all material respects with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts;
(lxxvii) The
Mortgage Loan Documents and any other documents required to be delivered
with
respect to each Mortgage Loan have been delivered to the Purchaser all
in
compliance with the specific requirements of this Agreement; and
(lxxviii) No
Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property in the State of Ohio which
closed
on or after January 1, 2007 was originated pursuant to a no income/no asset
documentation program or any other program pursuant to which the related
Mortgagor was not required to disclose income. Each Mortgage Loan secured
by a
Mortgaged Property in the State of Ohio which closed on or after January
1,
2007, was originated in compliance with the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices
Act
(Oh. Rev. Stat. 1345.01 et seq.) and the regulations promulgated thereunder
and
was made only after reasonable and appropriate methods were used to determine
the borrower's repayment ability, including without limitation, employment
verification for stated income loans, which have been properly documented
and
verified.

of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered
or
modified in any respect, except by a written instrument which has been

Loan
Schedule;
(v) No
Defenses.
The
Mortgage Loan is not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense, including without limitation the defense of usury, nor will
the
operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or
the
exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the
Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without limitation
the
defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim

binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with
its
terms. All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the Pledge

been
duly and properly executed by such parties;
(viii) No
Fraud.
No
error,
omission, misrepresentation, negligence, fraud or similar occurrence with
respect to a Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller, or
the
Mortgagor (except with respect to the accuracy of Unverified Information),
or to
the best of the Seller’s knowledge, any appraiser, any builder, or any
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;
(ix) Compliance
with Applicable Laws.
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, disclosure or predatory and
abusive
lending laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have been complied
with. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made
or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property
and,
with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including, but not limited
to, certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have
been made
or obtained from the appropriate authorities;
(x) Location
and Type of Mortgaged Property.
The
Mortgaged Property is located in the state identified in the related Mortgage
Loan Schedule and consists of a contiguous parcel of real property with
a
detached single family residence erected thereon, or a two- to four-family
dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project, or
an
individual unit in a planned unit development, or a townhouse, or a cooperative,
provided, however, that any condominium project or planned unit development
shall conform with the applicable Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac requirements,
or the
Underwriting Guidelines with respect to the Seller Mortgage Loans (other
than
the exceptions identified for Exception Mortgage Loans on the related Assignment
and Conveyance Agreement) or the Third-Party Underwriting Guidelines with
respect to Third-Party Mortgage Loans, as applicable, regarding such dwellings,
and no residence or dwelling is a mobile home. As of the respective
appraisal date for each Mortgaged Property, any Mortgaged Property being
used
for commercial purposes conforms to the Underwriting Guidelines with respect
to
the Seller Mortgage Loans (other than the exceptions identified for Exception
Mortgage Loans on the related Assignment and Conveyance Agreement) or the
Third-Party Underwriting Guidelines with respect to Third-Party Mortgage
Loans,
as applicable and, to the best of the Seller’s knowledge, since the date of such
appraisal, no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial
purposes outside of the Underwriting Guidelines;
(xi) Valid
First Lien.
The
Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged
Property, including all buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all
installations and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning
systems located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations
and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The
lien of the Mortgage is subject only to:
(1) the
lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and
payable;
(2) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters
of the
public record as of the date of recording 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 (i)
referred to or otherwise considered in the appraisal made for the originator
of
the Mortgage Loan and (ii) which do not adversely affect the Appraised
Value of
the Mortgaged Property set forth in such appraisal; and
(3) 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,
subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest
on
the property described therein and the Seller has full right to sell and
assign
the same to the Purchaser.
With
respect to each Cooperative Loan, each Pledge Agreement creates a valid,
enforceable and subsisting first security interest in the Cooperative Shares
and
Proprietary Lease, subject only to (i) the lien of the related Cooperative
for
unpaid assessments representing the Mortgagor’s pro rata share of the
Cooperative’s payments for its blanket mortgage, current and future real
property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance fees and other assessments
to
which like collateral is commonly subject and (ii) other matters to which
like
collateral is commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Pledge Agreement;
provided, however, that the appurtenant Proprietary Lease may be subordinated
or
otherwise subject to the lien of any mortgage on the Project;
(xii) Full
Disbursement of Proceeds.
The
proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed, except for escrows
established or created due to seasonal weather conditions, and there is
no
requirement for future advances thereunder. All costs, fees and
expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording
of
the Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund
of any
amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage;
(xiii) Consolidation
of Future Advances.
Any
future advances made prior to the related Cut-off Date, have been consolidated
with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the
secured
principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single
repayment term reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The lien
of the
Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured
as
having first lien priority (or second lien priority for each Mortgage Loan
identified on the such Mortgage Loan Schedule as being a Second Lien Mortgage
Loan) by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring
the
mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to
Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac; the consolidated principal amount does not exceed
the
original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan; the Seller shall not make
future
advances after the related Cut-off Date;
(xiv) Ownership.
The
Seller is the sole owner of record and holder of the Mortgage Loans and
the
related Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are not assigned or pledged, and
the
Seller has good and marketable title thereto and has full right and authority
to
transfer and sell the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser. The Seller is
transferring the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all encumbrances,
liens, pledges, equities, participation interests, claims, charges or security
interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan;
(xv) Origination/Doing
Business.
The
Mortgage Loan was originated by a savings and loan association, a savings
bank,
a commercial bank, a credit union, an insurance company, or similar institution
that is supervised and examined by a federal or state authority or by a
mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant
to
Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act. 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) (1) in compliance with any and all applicable
licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property
is located, and (2) organized under the laws of such state, or (3) qualified
to
do business in such state, or (4) federal savings and loan associations
or
national banks having principal offices in such state, or (5) not doing
business
in such state;
(xvi) LTV,
PMI Policy.
Each
Mortgage Loan has an LTV as specified on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.
Except as indicated on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule
and
on the Data File, if
the LTV of the Mortgage Loan was greater than 80% at the time of origination,
a
portion of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is and will
be
insured as to payment defaults by a PMI Policy. If the Mortgage Loan
is insured by a PMI Policy for which the Mortgagor pays all premiums, the
coverage will remain in place until (i) the LTV decreases to 78% or (ii)
the PMI
Policy is otherwise terminated pursuant to the Homeowners Protection Act
of
1998, 12 USC §4901, et seq. All provisions of such PMI Policy or LPMI
Policy have been and are being complied with, such policy is in full force
and
effect, and all premiums due thereunder have been paid. The Qualified
Insurer has a claims paying ability acceptable to Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx
Mac. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy or LPMI Policy
obligates the Mortgagor or the Seller to maintain the PMI Policy or LPMI
Policy
and to pay all premiums and charges in connection therewith. The
Mortgage Interest Rate for the Mortgage Loan as set forth on the related
Mortgage Loan Schedule is net of any such insurance premium;
(xvii) Title
Insurance.
The
Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's title insurance policy (or
in the
case of any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in a
jurisdiction where such policies are generally not available, an opinion
of
counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of
title
insurance) or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance acceptable
to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, issued by a title insurer acceptable to Xxxxxx
Mae
or Xxxxxxx Mac and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the
Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Seller, its successors and
assigns,
as to the first priority lien (or second priority if such Mortgage Loan
is a
Second Lien Mortgage Loan) of the Mortgage in the original principal amount
of
the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses
(1), (2)
and (3) of subsection (xi) of this Section 6(b) with respect to each First
Lien
Mortgage Loan and subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (1),
(2),
(3) and (4) of subsection (xlxii) with respect to each Second Lien Mortgage
Loan, and against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability
of
the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment
to the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment. Additionally, such lender’s
title insurance policy includes no exceptions regarding ingress, egress
or
encroachments that impact the value or the marketability of the Mortgaged
Property. The Seller 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 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 Mortgage, including
the
Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage
of such lender's title insurance policy;
(xviii) No
Defaults.
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 neither the Seller
nor
its predecessors have waived any default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration;
(xix) No
Mechanics' Liens.
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 the law could give
rise to
such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be
liens
prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage
which
are not insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in Paragraph (xvii) above;
(xx) Location
of Improvements; No Encroachments.
Except
as
insured against by the title insurance policy referenced in subsection
(xvii)
above, all improvements which were considered in determining the Appraised
Value
of the 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. No improvement
located on or being part of the Mortgaged Property is in violation of any
applicable zoning law or regulation;
(xxi) Payment
Terms.
Except
with respect to the Interest Only Mortgage Loans, principal payments commenced
no more than 60 days after the funds were disbursed to the Mortgagor in
connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loans have an
original term to maturity of not more than 30 years (except with respect
to
certain Balloon Loans or Interest Only Mortgage Loans), with interest payable
in
arrears on the first day of each month. As to each adjustable rate
Mortgage Loan on each applicable Adjustment Date, the Mortgage Interest
Rate
will be adjusted to equal the sum of the Index plus the applicable Gross
Margin,
rounded up or down to the nearest multiple of 0.125% indicated by the Mortgage
Note; provided that the Mortgage Interest Rate will not increase or decrease
by
more than the Periodic Interest Rate Cap on any Adjustment Date, and will
in no
event exceed the maximum Mortgage Interest Rate or be lower than the minimum
Mortgage Interest Rate listed on the related Mortgage Note for such Mortgage
Loan. As to each adjustable rate Mortgage Loan that is not an
Interest Only Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Note requires a monthly payment
which
is sufficient, during the period prior to the first adjustment to the Mortgage
Interest Rate, to fully amortize the outstanding principal balance as of
the
first day of such period over the then remaining term of such Mortgage
Note and
to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. As to each
adjustable rate Mortgage Loan, if the related Mortgage Interest Rate changes
on
an Adjustment Date or, with respect to an Interest Only Mortgage Loan,
on an
Adjustment Date following the related interest only period, the then outstanding
principal balance will be reamortized over the remaining life of such Mortgage
Loan. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would
result in negative amortization. With respect to each Balloon Loan,
the Mortgage Loan is payable in equal monthly installments of principal
and
interest based on a fifteen (15), thirty (30) or forty (40) year amortization
schedule, as set forth in the related Mortgage Note, and a final lump sum
payment substantially greater than the preceding Monthly Payment is required
which is sufficient to amortize the remaining principal balance of the
Balloon
Loan. No Balloon Loan has an original stated maturity of less than
seven (7) years;
(xxii) Customary
Provisions.
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, (1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as
a deed
of trust, by trustee's sale, and (2) otherwise by judicial
foreclosure. There is no homestead or other exemption available to a
Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property
at
a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage;
(xxiii)
Occupancy of the Mortgaged
Property.
As
of the
date of origination, the Mortgaged Property was in good repair and was
lawfully
occupied under applicable law;
(xxiv) No
Additional Collateral.
Except
in
the case of a Pledged Asset Mortgage Loan and as indicated on the related
Data
File, the Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral,
pledged account or other security except the lien of the corresponding
Mortgage
and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel
mortgage referred to in subsection (xi) above;
(xxv) Deeds
of Trust.
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 Mortgagee to the trustee under the deed of trust, except
in
connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor;
(xxvi) Acceptable
Investment.
The
Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect
to the
Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's
credit
standing that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional
investors to regard the Mortgage Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause
the
Mortgage Loan to become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or
marketability of the Mortgage Loan;
(xxvii) Transfer
of Mortgage Loans.
If
the
Mortgage Loan is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage,
upon the
insertion of the name of the assignee and recording information, is in
recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located;
(xxviii) Mortgaged
Property Undamaged.
The
Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth movement,
windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the
value
of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use
for which
the premises were intended;
(xxix) Collection
Practices; Escrow Deposits.
The
origination, servicing and collection practices used with respect to the
Mortgage Loan have been in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices,
and
have been in all material respects legal and proper. With respect to
escrow deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession
of
the Seller and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for
which
customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. All
Escrow Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and federal
law. No escrow deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or
payments due the Seller have been capitalized under the Mortgage
Note;
(xxx) No
Condemnation.
There
is
no proceeding pending or to the best of the Seller’s knowledge threatened for
the total or partial condemnation of the related Mortgaged
Property;
(xxxi) The
Appraisal.
The
Servicing File include an appraisal, with the exception of any Time$aver®
Mortgage Loan (which at the original origination were on form 1004 or form
2055
with interior inspections), of the related Mortgaged Property. The
appraisal was conducted by an appraiser who had no interest, direct or
indirect,
in the Mortgaged Property or in any loan made on the security thereof;
and whose
compensation is not affected by the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage
Loan, and the appraisal and the appraiser both satisfy the applicable
requirements of Title XI of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery,
and
Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, all
as in
effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;
(xxxii) Insurance.
The
Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan is insured by an insurer
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac against loss by fire and such hazards
as
are covered under a standard extended coverage endorsement 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 Section
4.10 of
the Servicing Agreement, in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser
of
(a) 100% of the insurable value, on a replacement cost basis, of the
improvements on the related Mortgaged Property, or (b) the greater of (i)
either
(1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan with respect
to each
First Lien Mortgage Loan or (2) with respect to each Second Lien Mortgage
Loan,
the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the First Lien on such
Mortgage
Loan and the outstanding principal balance of such Second Lien Mortgage
Loan, or
(ii) an amount such that the proceeds of such insurance shall be sufficient
to
avoid the application to the Mortgagor or loss payee of any coinsurance
clause
under the policy. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is
included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project.
If the
improvements on the Mortgaged Property are in an area identified in the
Federal

to
obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense,
and to

is
the valid and binding obligation of the insurer, is in full force and effect,
and will be in full force and effect and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser

The

such
insurance policy or the validity, binding effect and enforceability
thereof;
(xxxiii)
Servicemembers
Civil Relief Act.
The
Mortgagor has not notified the Seller, and the Seller has no knowledge
of any
relief requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers Civil
Relief Act, as amended;

feature;
(xxxv) No

(xxxvi)
Underwriting.
|
(a)
|
Each
Seller Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
Underwriting
Guidelines;
|
|
(b)
|
Each
Third-Party Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with
the
Third-Party Underwriting
Guidelines;
|
|
(c)
|
Each
Exception Mortgage Loan was underwritten in accordance with the
Underwriting Guidelines, subject to the exceptions specified
on the
related Assignment and Conveyance Agreement;
and
|
|
(d)
|
Each
Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxxx
Mac or
Xxxxxx Xxx;
|
(xxxvii)
Buydown
Mortgage Loans.
With
respect to each Mortgage Loan that is a Buydown Mortgage Loan:
|
|
(1)
|
On
or before the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan, the
Seller and
the Mortgagor, or the Seller, the Mortgagor and the seller of
the
Mortgaged Property or a third party entered into a Buydown
Agreement. The Buydown Agreement provides that the seller of
the Mortgaged Property (or third party) shall deliver to the
Seller
temporary Buydown Funds in an amount equal to the aggregate undiscounted
amount of payments that, when added to the amount the Mortgagor
on such
Mortgage Loan is obligated to pay on each Due Date in accordance
with the
terms of the Buydown Agreement, is equal to the full scheduled
Monthly
Payment due on such Mortgage Loan. The temporary Buydown Funds
enable the Mortgagor to qualify for the Buydown Mortgage
Loan. The effective interest rate of a Buydown Mortgage Loan if
less than the interest rate set forth in the related Mortgage
Note will
increase within the Buydown Period as provided in the related
Buydown
Agreement so that the effective interest rate will be equal to
the
interest rate as set forth in the related Mortgage Note. The
Buydown Mortgage Loan satisfies the requirements of the Underwriting
Guidelines;
|
|
|
(2)
|
The
Mortgage and Mortgage Note reflect the permanent payment terms
rather than
the payment terms of the Buydown Agreement. The Buydown
Agreement provides for the payment by the Mortgagor of the full
amount of
the Monthly Payment on any Due Date that the Buydown Funds are
available. The Buydown Funds were not used to reduce the
original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or to increase
the
Appraised Value of the Mortgage Property when calculating the
Loan-to-Value Ratios for purposes of the Agreement and, if the
Buydown
Funds were provided by the Seller and if required under Underwriting
Guidelines, the terms of the Buydown Agreement were disclosed
to the
appraiser of the Mortgaged
Property;
|
|
|
(3)
|
The
Buydown Funds may not be refunded to the Mortgagor unless the
Mortgagor
makes a principal payment for the outstanding balance of the
Mortgage
Loan; and
|
|
(4)
|
As
of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, the provisions
of the
related Buydown Agreement complied with the Underwriting Guidelines
(other
than the exceptions identified for Exception Mortgage Loans on
the related
Assignment and Conveyance Agreement) or the Third-Party Underwriting
Guidelines, as applicable regarding buydown
agreements;

in a
Cooperative. Each original UCC financing statement,
continuation statement or other governmental filing or recordation
necessary to create or preserve the perfection and priority of
the first
lien and security interest in the Cooperative Loan and Proprietary
Lease
has been timely and properly made. Any security agreement,
chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to the Cooperative

in the
Mortgaged Property described therein, and Purchaser has full

Agreement and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance charges
or
assessments owed by the Mortgagor;

|
|
(5)
|

the
Mortgagor causes to be submitted to the Seller to evaluate the intended

the cost of such securities to the Transferee and did not include
any of
the securities referred to in the preceding paragraph. Further,
in
determining such aggregate amount, the Transferee may have included
securities owned by subsidiaries of the Transferee, but only if
such
subsidiaries are consolidated with the Transferee in its financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed
under
the Transferee's direction. However, such securities were not included
if
the Transferee is a majority-owned, consolidated subsidiary of
another
enterprise and the Transferee is not itself a reporting company
under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

|
|
5.
|
The
Transferee acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144A and
understands
that the Transferor and other parties related to the Certificates
are
relying and will continue to rely on the statements made herein
because
one or more sales to the Transferee may be in reliance on Rule
144A.

___
Yes
|
___
No
|
Will
the Transferee be purchasing the Certificates only for the Transferee's
own account?

If
the answer to the foregoing question is “no”, the Transferee agrees that,
in connection with any purchase of securities sold to the Transferee
for
the account of a third party (including any separate account) in
reliance
on Rule 144A, the Transferee will only purchase for the account
of a third
party that at the time is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the
meaning of Rule 144A. In addition, the Transferee agrees that the
Transferee will not purchase securities for a third party unless
the
Transferee has obtained a current representation letter from such
third
party or taken other appropriate steps contemplated by Rule 144A
to
conclude that such third party independently meets the definition
of
“qualified institutional buyer” set forth in Rule 144A.
|
|
|
7.
|
The
Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification
is
made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.
Until such
notice is given, the Transferee's purchase of the Certificates
will
constitute a reaffirmation of this certification as of the date
of such
purchase. In addition, if the Transferee is a bank or savings and
loan as
provided above, the Transferee agrees that it will furnish to such
parties
updated annual financial statements promptly after they become
available.

The
undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. The
undersigned is an officer of, the proposed Transferee of an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate (the “Certificate”) issued pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of July 1, 2007 (the
“Agreement”), among Citigroup Mortgage Loan Trust Inc., as depositor (the
“Depositor”), CitiMortgage, Inc., as master servicer and trust
administrator (the “Master Servicer”), Citibank, N.A., as paying agent,
certificate registrar and authenticating agent (the “Paying Agent”) and U.S.
Bank National Association, as trustee (the
“Trustee”). Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein or
in Exhibit 1 hereto, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement. The Transferee has authorized the undersigned to make this
affidavit on behalf of the Transferee for the benefit of the Depositor
and the
Trustee.
2. The
Transferee is, as of the date hereof, and will be, as of the date of the
Transfer, a Permitted Transferee. The Transferee is acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Certificate for its own account. The
Transferee has no knowledge that any such affidavit is false.
3. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that (i) a tax will be
imposed on Transfers of the Certificate to Persons that are not Permitted
Transferees; (ii) such tax will be imposed on the transferor, or, if such
Transfer is through an agent (which includes a broker, nominee or middleman)
for
a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, on the agent; and (iii) the
Person otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for
the tax
if the subsequent Transferee furnished to such Person an affidavit that
such
subsequent Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and, at the time of Transfer,
such Person does not have actual knowledge that the affidavit is
false.
4. The
Transferee has been advised of, and understands that a tax will be imposed
on a
“pass-through entity” holding the Certificate if at any time during the taxable
year of the pass-through entity a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee
is
the record holder of an interest in such entity. The Transferee
understands that such tax will not be imposed for any period with respect
to
which the record holder furnishes to the pass-through entity an affidavit
that
such record holder is a Permitted Transferee and the pass-through entity
does
not have actual knowledge that such affidavit is false. (For this
purpose, a “pass-through entity” includes a regulated investment company, a real
estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate,
and certain cooperatives and, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations,
persons holding interests in pass-through entities as a nominee for another
Person.)
5. The
Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement
and understands the legal consequences of the acquisition of an Ownership
Interest in the Certificate including, without limitation, the restrictions
on
subsequent Transfers and the provisions regarding voiding the Transfer
and
mandatory sales. The Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and
to abide by the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and the
restrictions noted on the face of the Certificate. The Transferee
understands and agrees that any breach of any of the representations included
herein shall render the Transfer to the Transferee contemplated hereby
null and
void.
6. The
Transferee agrees to require a Transfer Affidavit from any Person to whom
the
Transferee attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in the Certificate,
and
in connection with any Transfer by a Person for whom the Transferee is
acting as
nominee, trustee or agent, and the Transferee will not Transfer its Ownership
Interest or cause any Ownership Interest to be Transferred to any Person
that
the Transferee knows is not a Permitted Transferee. In connection
with any such Transfer by the Transferee, the Transferee agrees to deliver
to
the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit L
to the Agreement (a “Transferor Certificate”) to the effect that such
Transferee has no actual knowledge that the Person to which the Transfer
is to
be made is not a Permitted Transferee.
7. The
Transferee has historically paid its debts as they have come due, intends
to pay
its debts as they come due in the future, and understands that the taxes
payable
with respect to the Certificate may exceed the cash flow with respect thereto
in
some or all periods and intends to pay such taxes as they become
due. The Transferee does not have the intention to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax legally required to be paid with respect
to
the Certificate.
8. The
Transferee’s taxpayer identification number is ___________.
9. The
Transferee is a U.S. Person as defined in Code
Section 7701(a)(30).
10. The
Transferee is aware that the Certificate may be a “noneconomic residual
interest” within the meaning of proposed Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual
interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such
residual
interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer was to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
11. The
Transferee will not cause income from the Certificate to be attributable
to a
foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an
applicable income tax treaty, of the Transferee or any other U.S.
person.
12. Check
one of the following:
o The
present
value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the
Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:
|
(i)
|
the
present value of any consideration given to the Transferee to
acquire such
Certificate;
|
|
(ii)
|
the
present value of the expected future distributions on such Certificate;
and
|
|
(iii)
|
the
present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with
holding such
Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.
|
For
purposes of this calculation, (i) the Transferee is assumed to pay tax
at the
highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the
tax rate
in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate
specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Transferee has been subject
to the
alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two
years
and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the
alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using
a
discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section
1274(d)
of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used
by the
Transferee, within the meaning of the Department of Labor regulation at
29
C.F.R. Section 2510-101.
o The
transfer
of the Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections
1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,
|
(i)
|
the
Transferee is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury
Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from
the
Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;
|
|
(ii)
|
at
the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Transferee’s two fiscal
years preceding the year of the transfer, the Transferee had
gross assets
for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of
a person
related to the Transferee within the meaning of U.S. Treasury
Regulations
Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net
assets in
excess of $10 million;
|
|
(iii)
|
the
Transferee will transfer the Certificate only to another “eligible
corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section
1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements
of
Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.860E-1(c)(5)
of
the U.S. Treasury Regulations; and
|
|
(iv)
|
the
Transferee determined the consideration paid to it to acquire
the
Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including,
but not
limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss
assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates
and other
factors specific to the Transferee) that it has determined in
good
faith.
|
o None
of the
above.
13. The
Transferee is not an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of
ERISA
or a plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to
any Federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to Title
I of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and the Transferee is not acting on
behalf of
or investing “plan assets” of such a plan within the meaning of the Department
of Labor regulation at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be executed
on its

officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly attested, this
