W I T N E S S E T H:
In consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The Securities Administrator shall elect that five segregated asset
pools within the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the Prepayment Premiums, (ii) the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement, (iii) the Supplemental Interest Trust, (iv) the
Excess Reserve Fund Account and (v) the right of the LIBOR Certificates to
receive Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk
Carry Forward Amounts and the obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls) be treated
for federal income tax purposes as comprising five REMICs (each, a "Trust REMIC"
or, in the alternative, Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, Pooling-Tier REMIC-2, the
Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Class X REMIC, respectively). The
Class X Interest, Class IO Interest and each Class of LIBOR Certificates (other
than the right of each Class of LIBOR Certificates to receive (i) Upper-Tier
Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts
and (ii) the obligation to pay Class IO Shortfalls) represents ownership of a
regular interest in a REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions.
The Class RX Certificates represent ownership of the sole class of
residual interest in the Class X REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The
Class RC Certificates represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest
in Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 for purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Class R
Certificates represent ownership of the sole class of residual interest in each
of Pooling-Tier REMIC-2, the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC for
purposes of the REMIC Provisions. The Start-up Day for each Trust REMIC is the
Closing Date. The latest possible maturity date for each regular interest is the

shall hold as assets the assets of the Trust Fund (exclusive of (i) the
Prepayment Premiums, (ii) the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, (iii) the
Supplemental Interest Trust, (iv) the Excess Reserve Fund Account and (v) the
right of the LIBOR Certificates to receive Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and,
without duplication, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and the obligation to pay
Class IO Shortfalls). Each such Lower Tier Regular Interest is hereby designated
as a regular interest in the Lower Tier REMIC. The Class LT-A-1, Class LT-A-2A,
Class LT-A-2B, Class LT-A-2C, Class LT-A-2D, Class LT-M-1, Class LT-M-2, Class
LT-M-3, Class LT-M-4, Class LT-M-5, Class LT-M-6, Class LT-M-7, Class LT-M-8,

LT-Accretion Directed Classes (the "LT-Accretion Directed Classes").
The Class X REMIC shall hold as assets the Class UT-X Interest, the
Class UT-IO Interest and the Class UT-3 Interest issued by the Upper-Tier REMIC,
the Class X Interest shall represent the regular interest issued by the Class X
REMIC and the Class RX Interest shall represent the sole class residual interest
in the Class X REMIC. The Class X Certificates represent beneficial ownership of
the Class X Interest, the Class IO Interest, the Supplemental Interest Trust and
the Excess Reserve Fund Account.
For federal income tax purposes, each Class of LIBOR Certificates,
the Class X Certificates, and the Class P Certificates represent beneficial
ownership of portions of the Trust Fund, which shall be treated as a grantor
trust as more fully described in Section 8.11.
Pooling-Tier REMIC-1
Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 shall issue the following interests in
Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, and each such interest is hereby designated as a regular
interest in the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1. Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 Interests with an "I"
in their designation shall relate to Loan Group I and Pooling Tier REMIC-1
Interests with a "II" in their designation shall relate to Loan Group II.
Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 shall also issue the Class RC Certificates. The Class RC

Rates shown above.
On each Distribution Date, Realized Losses, Subsequent Recoveries
and payments of principal in respect of the Group I Mortgage Loans shall be
allocated to the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class PT2-R Interest
pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(iii) until its Class Certificate Balance is reduced
to zero, then to the outstanding Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Regular Interests (other

(1) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for these
interests is a per annum variable rate equal to the weighted average of
the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rates of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2
Regular Interests (other than the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests).
(2) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for the Class
LT-Group I Interest is a per annum variable rate (expressed as a
percentage rounded to eight decimal places) equal to the weighted average
of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rates of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2
Regular Interests (other than the Pooling Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests)
relating to Loan Group I.
(3) The interest rate with respect to any Distribution Date for the Class
LT-Group II Interest is a per annum variable rate (expressed as a
percentage rounded to eight decimal places) equal to the weighted average
of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 Interest Rates of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2
Regular Interests (other than the Pooling Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests)
relating to Loan Group II.
(4) For all Distribution Dates, the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of these
Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be rounded to eight decimal places.
(5) This Lower-Tier Regular Interest is an interest-only interest and does not
have a Lower-Tier Principal Amount. On each Distribution Date, this
Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be entitled to receive all interest
distributable on the Pooling-Tier REMIC-2 IO Interests.
(6) This Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall not be entitled to interest and
shall have a Lower-Tier Principal Amount at all times equal to the Class
Certificate Balance of the Class RX Certificates.
(7) The Class LT-R Interest does not have a principal amount or an interest
rate.
Each Lower-Tier Regular Interest is hereby designated as a regular
interest in the Lower-Tier REMIC. The Class LT-A-1, Class LT-A-2A, Class
LT-A-2B, Class LT-A-2C, Class LT-A-2D, Class LT-M-1, Class LT-M-2, Class LT-M-3,
Class LT-M-4, Class LT-M-5, Class LT-M-6, Class LT-M-7, Class LT-M-8, Class
LT-M-9, Class LT-B-1 and Class LT-B-2 Interests are hereby designated the
LT-Accretion Directed Classes (the "LT-Accretion Directed Classes").
On each Distribution Date, 50% of the increase in the
Overcollateralized Amount shall be payable as a reduction of the Lower-Tier
Principal Amount of the LT-Accretion Directed Classes (each such Class will be
reduced by an amount equal to 50% of any increase in the Overcollateralized
Amount that is attributable to a reduction in the Class Certificate Balance of
its Corresponding Class) and shall be accrued and added to the Lower-Tier
Principal Amount of the Class LT-Accrual Interest. On each Distribution Date,
the increase in the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Class LT-Accrual Interest
shall not exceed interest accruals for such Distribution Date for the Class
LT-Accrual Interest. In the event that: (i) 50% of the increase in the
Overcollateralized Amount exceeds (ii) interest accruals on the Class LT-Accrual
Interest for such Distribution Date, the excess for such Distribution Date
(accumulated with all such excesses for all prior Distribution Dates) will be
added to any increase in the Overcollateralized Amount for purposes of
determining the amount of interest accrual on the Class LT-Accrual Interest
payable as principal on the LT-Accretion Directed Classes on the next
Distribution Date pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph. All payments
of scheduled principal and prepayments of principal generated by the Mortgage
Loans and all Subsequent Recoveries allocable to principal shall be allocated
(i) 50% to the Class LT-Accrual Interest, the Class LT-Group I Interest and
Class LT-Group II Interest (and further allocated among these Lower-Tier Regular
Interests in the manner described below) and (ii) 50% to the LT-Accretion
Directed Classes (such principal payments and Subsequent Recoveries shall be
allocated among such LT-Accretion Directed Classes in an amount equal to 50% of
the principal amounts and Subsequent Recoveries allocated to their respective
Corresponding Classes), until paid in full. Notwithstanding the above, principal
payments allocated to the Class X Interest that result in the reduction in the
Overcollateralized Amount shall be allocated to the Class LT-Accrual Interest
(until paid in full). Realized Losses shall be applied so that after all
distributions have been made on each Distribution Date (i) the Lower-Tier
Principal Amount of each of the LT-Accretion Directed Classes is equal to 50% of
the Class Certificate Balance of their Corresponding Class, and (ii) the Class
LT-Accrual Interest, the Class LT-Group I and the Class LT-Group II Interest
(and further allocated among these Lower-Tier Regular Interests in the manner
described below) is equal to 50% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans plus 50% of the Overcollateralized Amount. Any increase in
the Class Certificate Balance of a Class of LIBOR Certificates as a result of a
Subsequent Recovery shall increase the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the
Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest by 50% of such increase, and the
remaining 50% of such increase shall increase the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of
the Class LT-Accrual Interest. As among the Class LT-Accrual Interest, the Class
LT-Group I Interest and the Class LT-Group II Interest, all payments of
scheduled principal and prepayments of principal generated by the Mortgage
Loans, all Subsequent Recoveries and all Realized Losses, allocable to such
Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be allocated (i) to the Class LT-Group I
Interest and the Class LT-Group II Interest, each from the related Loan Group so
that their respective Lower-Tier Principal Amounts (computed to at least eight
decimal places) are equal to 0.001% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans in the related Loan Group and (ii) the remainder to the Class
LT-Accrual Interest.
Upper-Tier REMIC
The Upper-Tier REMIC shall issue the following interests, and each
such interest, other than the Class UT-R Interest, is hereby designated as a
regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class UT-R Interest is hereby
designated as the sole class of residual interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC and
shall be represented by the Class R Certificates.

(1) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
interest shall bear interest at the least of (i) the Pass-Through Rate
(determined without regard to the Loan Group I Cap or WAC Cap) for the
Corresponding Class of Certificates, (ii) the Lower-Tier Interest Rate for
the Class LT-Group I Interest (the "Upper-Tier REMIC Loan Group I Rate")
and (iii) the Upper-Tier REMIC WAC Rate.
(2) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
interest shall bear interest at the least of (i) the Pass-Through Rate
(determined without regard to the Loan Group II Cap or WAC Cap) for the
Corresponding Class of Certificates, (ii) the Lower-Tier Interest Rate for
the Class LT-Group II Interest (the "Upper-Tier REMIC Loan Group II Rate")
and (iii) the Upper-Tier REMIC WAC Rate.
(3) For any Distribution Date (and the related Interest Accrual Period), this
interest shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the Pass-Through Rate
(determined without regard to the applicable WAC Cap) for the
Corresponding Class of Certificates and (ii) the Upper-Tier REMIC WAC
Rate.
(4) This interest is an interest-only interest and does not have a principal
balance. On each Distribution Date, the Class UT-IO Interest shall be
entitled to receive all interest distributable on the Class LT-IO
Interest.
(5) The Class UT-X Interest has an initial principal balance of $12,341,500.90
but will not accrue interest on such balance but will accrue interest on a
notional principal balance. As of any Distribution Date, the Class UT-X
Interest shall have a notional principal balance equal to the aggregate of
the Lower-Tier Principal Amounts of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests
(other than the Class LT-IO and Class LT-3 Interests) as of the first day
of the related Interest Accrual Period. With respect to any Interest
Accrual Period, the Class UT-X Interest shall bear interest at a rate
equal to the excess, if any, of the Upper-Tier REMIC WAC Rate over the
product of (i) 2 and (ii) the weighted average of the Lower-Tier Interest
Rates of the Lower-Tier REMIC Interests (other than the Class LT-IO and
Class LT-3 Interests), where the Lower-Tier Interest Rate on each of the
Class LT-Accrual Interest, Class LT-Group I Interest and Class LT-Group II
Interest is subject to a cap equal to zero and each LT-Accretion Directed
Class is subject to a cap equal to the Upper-Tier Interest Rate on its
Corresponding Class of Upper-Tier Regular Interest. With respect to any
Distribution Date, interest that so accrues on the notional principal
balance of the Class UT-X Interest shall be deferred in an amount equal to
any increase in the Overcollateralized Amount on such Distribution Date.
Such deferred interest shall not itself bear interest.
(6) This Upper-Tier Regular Interest shall not be entitled to interest and
shall have a principal balance equal to the Class Certificate Balance of
the Class RX Certificates.
(7) The Class UT-R Interest does not have an interest rate or a principal
balance.
On each Distribution Date, interest distributable in respect of the
Lower-Tier Interests for such Distribution Date shall be deemed to be
distributed on the interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC at the rates shown above,
provided that the Class UT-IO Interest shall be entitled to receive interest
before any other interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC.
On each Distribution Date, all Realized Losses, Subsequent
Recoveries and all payments of principal shall be allocated to the Upper-Tier
Interests until the outstanding principal balance of each such interest equals
the outstanding Class Certificate Balance of the Corresponding Class of
Certificates as of such Distribution Date.
Class X REMIC
The Class X REMIC shall issue the following classes of interests.
The Class X Interest and the Class IO Interest shall each represent a regular
interest in the Class X REMIC and the Class RX Certificates shall represent the
sole class of residual interest in the Class X REMIC.

Section 2.01 Conveyance of Mortgage Loans. (a) The Depositor,
concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, hereby sells, transfers,
assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the
Depositor in and to the Trust Fund, and the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust,
hereby accepts the Trust Fund.
(b) In connection with the transfer and assignment of each Mortgage
Loan, the Depositor has delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee for

Mortgage Notes for which there is a lost note affidavit and a copy of the
Mortgage Note) bearing all intervening endorsements, endorsed "Pay to the
order of _________, without recourse" and signed in the name of the last
endorsee. To the extent that there is no room on the face of the Mortgage
Notes for endorsements, the endorsement may be contained on an allonge
unless the Trustee is advised by the Responsible Party that state law does
not so allow. If the Mortgage Loan was acquired by the Responsible Party
in a merger, the endorsement must be by "[last endorsee], successor by
merger to [name of predecessor]". If the Mortgage Loan was acquired or
originated by the last endorsee while doing business under another name,
the endorsement must be by "[last endorsee], formerly known as [previous
name]";
(ii) the original of any guarantee executed in connection with
the mortgage note, if provided;
(iii) the original Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or
a certified true copy of such Mortgage submitted for recording. If in
connection with any Mortgage Loan, the Responsible Party cannot deliver or
cause to be delivered the original Mortgage with evidence of recording
thereon on or prior to the Closing Date because of a delay caused by the
public recording office where such Mortgage has been delivered for
recordation or because such Mortgage has been lost or because such public
recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage, the Responsible
Party shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, a photocopy
of such Mortgage, together with (A) in the case of a delay caused by the
public recording office, an Officer's Certificate of (or certified by) the
Responsible Party (or certified by the title company, escrow agent, or
closing attorney) stating that such Mortgage has been dispatched to the
appropriate public recording office for recordation and that the original
recorded Mortgage or a copy of such Mortgage certified by such public
recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original recorded
Mortgage will be promptly delivered to the Trustee upon receipt thereof by
the Responsible Party; or (B) in the case of a Mortgage where a public
recording office retains the original recorded Mortgage or in the case
where a Mortgage is lost after recordation in a public recording office, a
copy of such Mortgage certified by such public recording office to be a
true and complete copy of the original recorded Mortgage;
(iv) the originals of all assumption, modification, consolidation
or extension agreements, if any, with evidence of recording thereon or a
certified true copy of such agreement submitted for recording;
(v) the original Assignment of Mortgage for each Mortgage Loan
endorsed in blank and in recordable form;
(vi) the originals of all intervening assignments of mortgage (if
any) evidencing a complete chain of assignment from the originator to the
last endorsee with evidence of recording thereon, or if any such
intervening assignment has not been returned from the applicable recording
office or has been lost or if such public recording office retains the
original recorded assignments of mortgage, the Responsible Party shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, a photocopy of such
intervening assignment, together with (A) in the case of a delay caused by
the public recording office, an Officer's Certificate of (or certified by)
the Responsible Party (or certified by the title company, escrow agent, or
closing attorney) stating that such intervening assignment of mortgage has
been dispatched to the appropriate public recording office for recordation
and that such original recorded intervening assignment of mortgage or a
copy of such intervening assignment of mortgage certified by the
appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original recorded intervening assignment of mortgage will be promptly
delivered to the Trustee upon receipt thereof by the Responsible Party; or
(B) in the case of an intervening assignment where a public recording
office retains the original recorded intervening assignment or in the case
where an intervening assignment is lost after recordation in a public
recording office, a copy of such intervening assignment certified by such
public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the original
recorded intervening assignment;
(vii) the original or copy of mortgagee policy of title insurance
or a copy of the related policy binder or commitment for title certified

(viii) a security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent
document executed in connection with the Mortgage (if provided).
The Depositor shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Trustee in
enforcing the obligations of the Sponsor under the Representations and
Warranties Agreement.
Each Mortgage Loan for which a Mortgage Note is missing shall be
evidenced by a lost note affidavit as of the Closing Date. In the event, for
purposes of the Closing Date, one or more lost note affidavits are provided to
cover multiple missing Mortgage Notes, the Responsible Party shall deliver to
the Trustee the applicable individual lost note affidavits within ten (10)
Business Days of the Closing Date. If the Responsible Party fails to deliver the
required individual lost note affidavits within the specified period of time,
the Trustee shall notify (which may be an exception report) the Responsible
Party to take such remedial actions, including, without limitation, the
repurchase by the Responsible Party of such Mortgage Loan within 30 days of the
Closing Date.
The Responsible Party shall deliver to the Trustee the applicable
recorded document promptly upon receipt from the respective recording office but
in no event later than 120 days from the Closing Date.
From time to time, the Responsible Party shall forward, with respect
to the Mortgage Loans, to the Trustee additional original documents, and
additional documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or
extension of a Mortgage Loan approved by the Responsible Party, in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. All such mortgage documents held by the
Trustee as to each Mortgage Loan shall constitute the "Custodial File."
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Responsible Party shall deliver
to the Trustee Assignments of Mortgages, in blank, for each Mortgage Loan. The
Responsible Party shall cause the Assignments of Mortgage with completed
recording information to be provided to the Depositor in a reasonably acceptable
manner. Subject to the following sentence, no later than thirty (30) Business
Days following the later of the Closing Date and the date of receipt by the
Depositor of the fully completed Assignments of Mortgages in recordable form,
the Depositor shall promptly submit or cause to be submitted for recording, at
the expense of the Responsible Party or the Depositor, at no expense to the
Trust Fund, the Servicer or the Trustee in the appropriate public office for
real property records, each Assignment of Mortgage referred to in Section
2.01(b)(v) . Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, for administrative
convenience and facilitation of servicing and to reduce closing costs, the
Assignments of Mortgage shall not be required to be completed and submitted for
recording with respect to any Mortgage Loan if the Trustee and each Rating
Agency has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory in form and substance to
the Trustee and each Rating Agency, to the effect that the recordation of such
Assignments of Mortgage in any specific jurisdiction is not necessary to protect
the Trustee's interest in the related Mortgage Note. The Mortgage shall be
assigned by the Responsible Party at the Responsible Party's or the Depositor's
expense to "Deutsche Bank National Trust Company as trustee under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement dated as of June 1, 2006, GSAMP Trust 2006-NC2." In the
event that any such assignment is lost or returned unrecorded because of a
defect therein, the Responsible Party shall promptly prepare a substitute
assignment to cure such defect and thereafter cause each such assignment to be
duly recorded at the expense of the Responsible Party or the Depositor.
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the
Trustee a copy of the Data Tape Information in electronic, machine readable
medium in a form mutually acceptable to the Depositor and the Trustee. Within
ten (10) Business Days of the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver a copy
of the complete Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee and the Servicer.
In the event that such original or copy of any document submitted
for recordation to the appropriate public recording office is not so delivered
to the Trustee within 90 days following the Closing Date, and in the event that
the Responsible Party does not cure such failure within 30 days of discovery or
receipt of written notification of such failure from the Depositor, the related
Mortgage Loan shall, upon the request of the Depositor, be repurchased by the
Responsible Party at the price and in the manner specified in Section 2.03 or
repurchased by the Sponsor pursuant to the Representations and Warranties
Agreement, at the price and in the manner specified in the Representations and
Warranties Agreement. The foregoing repurchase obligation shall not apply in the
event that the Responsible Party cannot deliver such original or copy of any
document submitted for recordation to the appropriate public recording office
within the specified period due to a delay caused by the recording office in the
applicable jurisdiction; provided, that the Responsible Party shall instead
deliver a recording receipt of such recording office or, if such recording
receipt is not available, an officer's certificate of an officer of the
Responsible Party confirming that such document has been accepted for recording.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
2.01, in those instances where the public recording office retains or loses the
original Mortgage or assignment after it has been recorded, the obligations of
the Sponsor shall be deemed to have been satisfied upon delivery by the Sponsor
to the Trustee prior to the Closing Date of a copy of such Mortgage or
assignment, as the case may be, certified (such certification to be an original
thereof) by the public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
recorded original thereof.
(c) The Depositor does hereby establish, pursuant to the further
provisions of this Agreement and the laws of the State of New York, an express
trust (the "Trust") to be known, for convenience, as "GSAMP Trust 2006-NC2" and
Deutsche Bank National Trust Company is hereby appointed as Trustee in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Trust's fiscal year is the
calendar year.
(d) The Trust shall have the capacity, power and authority, and the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust is hereby authorized, to accept the sale,
transfer, assignment, set over and conveyance by the Depositor to the Trust of
all the right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the Trust Fund
(including, without limitation, the Mortgage Loans) pursuant to Section 2.01(a).
The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the execution and delivery of the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement by the Securities Administrator on behalf of the
Trust was authorized and is hereby ratified and confirmed.
(e) It is agreed and understood by the Depositor and the Trustee
that it is the policy and intention of the Trust to acquire only Mortgage Loans
meeting the requirements set forth in this Agreement, including without
limitation, including the requirement that no Mortgage Loan be a High Cost
Mortgage Loan and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after October 1, 2002
through March 6, 2003 be governed by the Georgia Fair Lending Act.

for each Mortgage Loan with any exceptions noted on the exception report
attached thereto. The Trustee shall not be responsible to verify the validity,
sufficiency or genuineness of any document in any Custodial File.
On the Closing Date, the Trustee shall ascertain that all documents
required to be reviewed by it are in its possession, and shall deliver to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the applicable Servicer an Initial
Certification, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F, and shall deliver to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and such Servicer a Document Certification and
Exception Report, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G, within 90 days after
the Closing Date to the effect that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any
Mortgage Loan specifically identified in such certification as an exception and
not covered by such certification): (i) all documents required to be reviewed by
it are in its possession; (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it and
appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan; (iii) based on
its examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set
forth in items (1), (2) and (13) of the Mortgage Loan Schedule and items (1),
(2) and (13) of the Data Tape Information respecting such Mortgage Loan is
correct; and (iv) each Mortgage Note has been endorsed as provided in Section
2.01 of this Agreement. The Trustee shall not be responsible to verify the

trailing documents required to be included in the Custodial File at the same
time the original or certified copies thereof are delivered to the Trustee,
including but not limited to such documents as the title insurance policy and
any other Mortgage Loan Documents upon return from the public recording office.
The Responsible Party shall deliver such documents, at the Responsible Party's
expense, to the Servicer and in no event shall the Servicer be responsible for
any expenses relating to such delivery obligation.
Section 2.03 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Responsible Party, the Servicers and the Depositor (a) Ocwen hereby makes the
representations and warranties set forth in Schedule II hereto to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee as of the
Closing Date. NCMC hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in
Schedule III hereto to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Securities
Administrator and the Trustee as of the dates set forth in such Schedule. The
Responsible Party hereby makes the representations and warranties as to the
individual Mortgage Loans set forth in Schedule IV hereto to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee as of the dates
set forth in such Schedule. The Responsible Party hereby makes the
representations and warranties set forth in Schedule V hereto to the Depositor,
the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee as of the
dates set forth in such Schedule. The Sponsor hereby makes the representations
and warranties set forth in Schedule VI hereto to the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator as of the Closing Date.
(b) It is understood and agreed by each Servicer, the Responsible
Party and the Trustee that the representations and warranties set forth in this
Section 2.03 shall survive the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor
to the Trustee, and shall inure to the benefit of the Depositor, the Servicers
and the Trustee notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any
Mortgage Note or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or failure to examine
any Mortgage File. Upon discovery by any of the Depositor, the Responsible
Party, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or each
Servicer of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties, the
party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others.
(c) Within 30 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice
to the Responsible Party that any Mortgage Loan does not conform to the
requirements as determined in the Trustee's review of the related Custodial File
or within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the
Responsible Party of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in
Section 2.03(a) that materially and adversely affects the value of any Mortgage
Loan or the interest of the Trustee or the Certificateholders therein, the
Responsible Party shall use its best efforts to cause to be remedied a material
defect in a document constituting part of a Mortgage File or promptly to cure
such breach in all material respects and, if such defect or breach cannot be
remedied, the Responsible Party shall, at the Depositor's option as specified in
writing and provided to the Responsible Party and the Securities Administrator,
(i) if such 30 or 60 day period, as applicable, expires prior to the second
anniversary of the Closing Date, remove such Mortgage Loan (a "Deleted Mortgage
Loan") from the Trust Fund and substitute in its place a Substitute Mortgage
Loan, in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section
2.03, or (ii) at the Depositor's option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the
Repurchase Price; provided, however, that any such substitution pursuant to
clause (i) above shall not be effected prior to the delivery to the Trustee a
Request for Release substantially in the form of Exhibit L, and the Mortgage
File for any such Substitute Mortgage Loan. In the event that a breach shall
involve any representation or warranty set forth in Schedule IV, and such breach
cannot be cured within 60 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice
to the Responsible Party of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the
Depositor's option, be repurchased by the Responsible Party at the Repurchase
Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a breach (x) which causes a Mortgage Loan
not to constitute a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code or (y) by the Responsible Party of any of the
representations and warranties set forth in paragraphs (47), (49), (50), (51),
(53), (59), (60), (61), (62) or (63) of Schedule IV, each case, will be deemed
automatically to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan
and the interests of the Trustee and Certificateholders in such Mortgage Loan.
In the event that the Trustee receives notice of a breach by the Responsible
Party of any of the representations and warranties set forth in paragraphs (47),
(49), (50), (51), (53), (59), (60), (61), (62) or (63) of Schedule IV, the
Trustee shall give notice of such breach to the Responsible Party and request
the Responsible Party to repurchase the Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price
within 30 days of the Responsible Party's receipt of such notice. The
Responsible Party shall repurchase each such Deleted Mortgage Loan within 30
days of the earlier of discovery or receipt of notice with respect to each such
Deleted Mortgage Loan.
(d) With respect to any Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the
Responsible Party shall deliver to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the related assignment of
the Mortgage, and such other documents and agreements as are required by Section
2.01, with the Mortgage Note endorsed and the Mortgage assigned as required by
Section 2.01. No substitution is permitted to be made in any calendar month
after the Determination Date for such month. Scheduled Payments due with respect
to Substitute Mortgage Loans in the Due Period of substitution shall not be part
of the Trust Fund and will be retained by the Responsible Party on the next
succeeding Distribution Date. For the Due Period of substitution, distributions
to Certificateholders will include the Scheduled Payment due on any Deleted
Mortgage Loan for such Due Period and thereafter the Responsible Party shall be
entitled to retain all amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage
Loan.
(e) The Servicer shall, based on information provided by the
Responsible Party, amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to reflect the removal of such Deleted Mortgage Loan and the
substitution of the Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans and the Servicer shall
deliver the amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the Trustee. The Servicer shall
have no liability with respect to the information provided by the Responsible
Party related to the Substitute Mortgage Loan. Upon such substitution, the
Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement in all respects, and the Responsible Party shall be deemed to have
made with respect to such Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, as of the date of
substitution, the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section
2.03(b) with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Upon any such substitution and the
deposit to the Collection Account of the amount required to be deposited therein
in connection with such substitution as described in the following paragraph,
the Trustee shall release the Mortgage File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Responsible
Party and shall execute and deliver at the Responsible Party's direction such
instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Responsible Party, in each
case without recourse, representation or warranty as shall be necessary to vest
title in the Responsible Party, or its designee, the Trustee's interest in any
Deleted Mortgage Loan substituted for pursuant to this Section 2.03.
(f) For any month in which the Responsible Party substitutes one or
more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the
Servicer will determine the amount (if any) by which the aggregate unpaid
principal balance of all such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of
substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of all such
Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of the scheduled principal portion of
the Scheduled Payments due in the Due Period of substitution). The amount of
such shortage (the "Substitution Adjustment Amount") plus, if the Responsible
Party is not the Servicer, an amount equal to the aggregate of any unreimbursed
Advances and Servicing Advances with respect to such Deleted Mortgage Loans
shall be deposited into the Collection Account by the Responsible Party on or
before the next Remittance Date.
(g) In addition to such repurchase obligation, the Responsible Party
shall indemnify the Depositor, its Affiliates, the Servicer, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and hold such parties
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 by the Responsible Party of any of
its representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement or this
Agreement.
(h) In the event that a Mortgage Loan shall have been repurchased
pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to the Representations and Warranties
Agreement, at the price and in the manner specified in the Representations and
Warranties Agreement, the Repurchase Price thereof shall be deposited in the
Collection Account by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10 on or before the
next Remittance Date and upon such deposit of the Repurchase Price and receipt
of a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit K hereto, the Trustee shall
release the related Custodial File held for the benefit of the
Certificateholders to such Person as directed by the Servicer, and the Trustee
shall execute and deliver at such Person's direction such instruments of
transfer or assignment prepared by such Person, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty as shall be necessary to transfer title from the
Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the obligation under this Agreement of
any Person to cure, repurchase or replace any Mortgage Loan as to which a breach
has occurred and is continuing, together with satisfaction of any related
indemnification obligation, shall constitute the sole remedy against such
Persons respecting such breach available to Certificateholders, the Depositor,
the Servicers, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Trustee
on their behalf.
The representations and warranties made pursuant to this Section
2.03 shall survive delivery of the respective Custodial Files to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Certificateholders.
Section 2.04 Execution and Delivery of Certificates. The Trustee
acknowledges the transfer and assignment to it of the Trust Fund and,
concurrently with such transfer and assignment, the Securities Administrator has
executed and delivered to or upon the order of the Depositor, the Certificates
in authorized Denominations evidencing directly or indirectly the entire
ownership of the Trust Fund. The Trustee agrees to hold the Trust Fund and
exercise the rights referred to above for the benefit of all present and future
Holders of the Certificates.
Section 2.05 REMIC Matters. The Preliminary Statement sets forth the
designations for federal income tax purposes of all interests created hereby.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Class C Certificates shall not represent a
regular or residual interest in any Trust REMIC. The "Start-up Day" of each
Trust REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions shall be the Closing Date. The
"latest possible maturity date" of the regular interests in each Trust REMIC is
the Distribution Date in June 2036, which is the Distribution Date in the month
following the month in which the latest maturity date of any Mortgage Loan
occurs. Amounts distributable to the Class X Certificates (prior to any
reduction for any Basis Risk Payment or Swap Termination Payment), exclusive of
any amounts received from the Swap Provider, shall be deemed paid from the
Upper-Tier REMIC to the Class X REMIC in respect of the Class UT-X Interest and
the Class UT-IO Interest and then from the Class X REMIC in respect of the Class
X Interest and the Class IO Interest to the Holders of the Class X Certificates
prior to distribution of any Basis Risk Payments to the LIBOR Certificates or
Net Swap Payments or Swap Termination Payments to the Swap Provider.
For federal income tax purposes, any amount distributed on the LIBOR
Certificates on any Distribution Date in excess of the amount distributable on
their Corresponding Class of Upper-Tier Regular Interest on such Distribution
Date shall be treated as having been paid from the Excess Reserve Fund Account
or the Supplemental Interest Trust, as applicable, and any amount distributable
on such Corresponding Class of Upper-Tier Regular Interest on such Distribution
Date in excess of the amount distributable on the Corresponding Class of LIBOR
Certificates on such Distribution Date shall be treated as having been paid to
the Supplemental Interest Trust, all pursuant to and as further provided in
Section 8.13.
Section 2.06 Representations and Warranties of the Depositor. The
Depositor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Responsible Party,
the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and each Servicer
that as of the date of this Agreement or as of such date specifically provided
herein:
(a) The Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware;
(b) The Depositor has the corporate power and authority to convey
the Mortgage Loans and to execute, deliver and perform, and to enter into and
consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement;
(c) This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Depositor, all requisite corporate action having been
taken, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the
other parties hereto, constitutes or will constitute the legal, valid and
binding agreement of the Depositor, enforceable against the Depositor in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws
relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and by general
equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law);
(d) No consent, approval, authorization or order of or registration
or filing with, or notice to, any governmental authority or court is required
for the execution, delivery and performance of or compliance by the Depositor
with this Agreement or the consummation by the Depositor of any of the
transactions contemplated hereby, except as have been made on or prior to the
Closing Date;
(e) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the
fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
(i) conflicts or will conflict with or results or will result in a breach of, or
constitutes or will constitute a default or results or will result in an
acceleration under (A) the charter or bylaws of the Depositor, or (B) of any
term, condition or provision of any material indenture, deed of trust, contract
or other agreement or instrument to which the Depositor or any of its
subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its subsidiaries is bound; (ii)
results or will result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order,
judgment or decree applicable to the Depositor of any court or governmental
authority having jurisdiction over the Depositor or its subsidiaries; or (iii)
results in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance which
would have a material adverse effect upon the Mortgage Loans or any documents or
instruments evidencing or securing the Mortgage Loans;
(f) There are no actions, suits or proceedings before or against or
investigations of, the Depositor pending, or to the knowledge of the Depositor,
threatened, before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal, and no
notice of any such action, which, in the Depositor's reasonable judgment, might
materially and adversely affect the performance by the Depositor of its
obligations under this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement;
(g) The Depositor is not in default with respect to any order or
decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state,
municipal or governmental agency that may materially and adversely affect its
performance hereunder; and
(h) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment by the
Depositor to the Trustee on the Closing Date, the Depositor had good title to,
and was the sole owner of each Mortgage Loan, free of any interest of any other
Person, and the Depositor has transferred all right, title and interest in each
Mortgage Loan to the Trustee. The transfer of each Mortgage Note and each
Mortgage as and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement is sufficient
either (i) fully to transfer to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, all right, title, and interest of the Depositor thereto as
note holder and mortgagee or (ii) to grant to the Trustee, for the benefit of
the Certificateholders, the security interest referred to in Section 12.04.
It is understood and agreed that the representations, warranties and
covenants set forth in this Section 2.06 shall survive delivery of the
respective Custodial Files to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee and each Servicer.
Section 2.07 Enforcement of Obligations for Breach of Mortgage Loan
Representations. Upon discovery by any of the parties hereto of a breach of a
representation or warranty made by the Responsible Party or the Sponsor pursuant
to the Representations and Warranties Agreement, the party discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties to this
Agreement and the Sponsor, as applicable. The Trustee shall take such action,
with the Depositor's consent, with respect to such breach under the this
Agreement or the Representations and Warranties Agreement, as applicable, as may
be necessary or appropriate to enforce the rights of the Trust with respect
thereto. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF MORTGAGE LOANS
Section 3.01 Servicers to Service Mortgage Loans. (a) Prior to the
Servicing Transfer Date, the Mortgage Loans shall be serviced and administered
by New Century and Ocwen shall have no responsibility to service or administer
such Mortgage Loans prior to the Servicing Transfer Date. For and on behalf of
the Certificateholders, each Servicer shall service and administer the related
Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the respective
Mortgage Loans, to the extent consistent with such terms, in compliance with all
applicable federal, state and local laws, and 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 mortgage
lenders and loan servicers administering similar mortgage loans but without
regard to:
(i) any relationship that such Servicer, any Subservicer or any
Affiliate of such Servicer or any Subservicer may have with the related
Mortgagor;
(ii) the ownership or non-ownership of any Certificate by such
Servicer or any Affiliate of such Servicer;
(iii) such Servicer's obligation to make P&I Advances or
Servicing Advances; or
(iv) such Servicer's or any Subservicer's right to receive
compensation for its services hereunder or with respect to any particular
transaction.
To the extent consistent with the foregoing, each Servicer shall
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, each Servicer
shall have full power and authority, acting alone or through Subservicers 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, each Servicer in
its own name or in the name of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee
for the Trust, or in the name of a Subservicer is hereby authorized and
empowered by the Trustee when the applicable Servicer believes it appropriate in
its best judgment in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, to execute
and deliver 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 in the name of the Trust. Each 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. Each Servicer shall also comply in the
performance of this Agreement with all reasonable rules and requirements of each
insurer under any standard hazard insurance policy. Subject to Section 3.16, the
Trustee shall execute, at the written request of a Servicer, and the Trustee
shall furnish to such Servicer and any Subservicer such documents as are
necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer or any Subservicer to carry out
their servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee hereby
grants to each Servicer, and this Agreement shall constitute, a power of
attorney, substantially in the form of Exhibit S, to carry out such duties
including a power of attorney to take title to Mortgaged Properties after
foreclosure on behalf of the Trustee and in the name of the Trust. The
Securities Administrator shall execute a separate power of attorney in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit R in favor of each Servicer for the purposes
described herein to the extent necessary or desirable to enable each Servicer to
perform its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for the actions of
any Servicer or any Subservicers under such powers of attorney.
(b) Subject to Section 3.09(b), in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices, each 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(b), and further as provided in Section 3.11.
Any cost incurred by a Servicer or by Subservicers in effecting the timely
payment of taxes and assessments on a Mortgaged Property shall not be added to
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that
the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a
Servicer may not make any future advances with respect to a Mortgage Loan
(except as provided in Section 4.01) and none of the Servicers shall (i) permit
any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan that would change the
Mortgage Interest 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 (except for (A) a reduction of interest or
principal payments resulting from the application of the Servicemembers Civil
Relief Act or any similar state statutes or (B) as provided in Section 3.07(a),
if the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or such default
is, in the judgment of such Servicer, reasonably foreseeable) 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 start-up day" under the REMIC Provisions, or (iii)
except as provided in Section 3.07(a), waive any Prepayment Premiums.
(d) Each Servicer may delegate its responsibilities under this
Agreement; provided, however, that no such delegation shall release that
Servicer from the responsibilities or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
Section 3.02 Subservicing Agreements between a Servicer and
Subservicers. (a) Each Servicer may enter into subservicing agreements with
Subservicers, for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans
("Subservicing Agreements"). Each Servicer represents and warrants to the other
parties hereto that no Subservicing Agreement is in effect as of the Closing
Date with respect to any Mortgage Loans required to be serviced by it hereunder.
Each Servicer shall give notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee of any such Subservicer and
Subservicing Agreement, which notice shall contain all information (including
without limitation a copy of the Subservicing Agreement) reasonably necessary to
enable the Securities Administrator, pursuant to Section 8.12(g), to accurately
and timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange
Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the
Exchange Act). During the period when reports are required to be filed for the
Trust under the Exchange Act, no Subservicing Agreement shall be effective until
30 days after such written notice is received by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator and thereafter shall be effective at
the time the applicable Servicer and any Subservicer enter into any such
Subservicing Agreement. Neither the Securities Administrator nor the Master
Servicer shall be required to review or consent to such Subservicing Agreements
and shall have no liability in connection therewith.
(b) Each Subservicer 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
Subservicer to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Subservicing
Agreement, (ii) an institution approved as a mortgage loan originator by the
Federal Housing Administration or an institution that has deposit accounts
insured by the FDIC and (iii) a Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae approved mortgage
servicer. Each Subservicing Agreement must impose on the Subservicer
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.
Each Servicer will examine each Subservicing Agreement and will be familiar with
the terms thereof. The terms of any Subservicing Agreement will not be
inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Agreement. Each Servicer and the
respective Subservicers may enter into and make amendments to the Subservicing
Agreements or enter into different forms of Subservicing 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 Trustee, without the consent of
the Master Servicer. Any variation without the consent of the Master Servicer
from the provisions set forth in Section 3.08 relating to insurance or priority
requirements of Subservicing Accounts, or credits and charges to the
Subservicing Accounts or the timing and amount of remittances by the
Subservicers to such Servicer, are conclusively deemed to be inconsistent with
this Agreement and therefore prohibited. Each Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Depositor
copies of all Subservicing Agreements, and any amendments or modifications
thereof, promptly upon such Servicer's execution and delivery of such
instruments.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, each Servicer
(except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this paragraph), for the
benefit of the Trustee, shall enforce the obligations of each Subservicer under
the related Subservicing Agreement, including, without limitation, any
obligation to make advances in respect of delinquent payments as required by a
Subservicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the
legal prosecution of claims, termination of Subservicing 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 such Servicer, in its good faith business
judgment, would require were it the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. Each
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.
(d) Each Servicer shall cause any Subservicer engaged by such
Servicer (or by any Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee to comply with the
provisions of this Section 3.02 and with Sections 3.22, 3.23, 6.02 and 6.05 of
this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subservicer were such Servicer, and
to provide the information required with respect to such Subservicer under
Section 8.12(g) of this Agreement. Each Servicer shall be responsible for
obtaining from each such Subservicer and delivering to applicable Persons any
servicer compliance statement required to be delivered by such Subservicer under
Section 3.22 and any assessment of compliance report and related accountant's
attestation required to be delivered by such Subservicer under Section 3.23, in
each case as and when required to be delivered.
(e) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.02(e),
each Servicer and any Subservicer engaged by such Servicer is permitted to
utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations
hereunder. Such Servicer shall promptly upon request provide to the Depositor or
the Master Servicer a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to
the Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such
Servicer or any such Subservicer, specifying, not later than the date specified
for delivery of the annual report on assessment of compliance set forth in
Section 3.23(b) (i) the identity of each such Subcontractor, if any, that is
"participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, and (ii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be
addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each Subcontractor identified
pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph. As a condition to the utilization by
such Servicer or any such Subservicer of any Subcontractor determined to be
"participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of Item 1122 of
Regulation AB, such Servicer shall cause any such Subcontractor used by such
Servicer (or by any such Subservicer) for the benefit of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee to comply with the
provisions of Section 3.23 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such
Subcontractor were such Servicer. Such Servicer shall be responsible for
obtaining from each such Subcontractor and delivering to the applicable Persons
any assessment of compliance report and related accountant's attestation
required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 3.23, in each case
as and when required to be delivered.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer engages a Subcontractor
in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement,
such Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether such Subcontractor is
a "servicer" within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and whether any
such affiliate or third-party vendor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i)
through (iii) of Regulation AB. If a Servicer determines, pursuant to the
preceding sentence, that such Subcontractor is a "servicer" within the meaning
of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i)
through (iii) of Regulation AB, then such Subcontractor shall be deemed to be a
Subservicer for purposes of this Agreement (and shall not be required to meet
the requirements of a Subservicer set forth in Section 3.02(b)), the engagement
of such Subservicer shall not be effective unless and until notice is given
pursuant to Section 3.02(a) and such Servicer shall comply with Section 3.02(d)
with respect thereto.
Section 3.03 Successor Subservicers. Each Servicer shall be entitled
to terminate any Subservicing Agreement and the rights and obligations of any
Subservicer pursuant to any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with the terms
and conditions of such Subservicing Agreement; provided, however, that during
the period when reports are required to be filed for the Trust under the
Exchange Act, the termination, resignation or removal of a Subservicer shall not
be effective until 30 days after written notice is received by each of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator that contains
all information reasonably necessary to enable the Securities Administrator,
pursuant to Section 8.12(g), to accurately and timely report the event under
Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the
Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act). In the event of
termination of any Subservicer, all servicing obligations of such Subservicer
shall be assumed simultaneously by the applicable Servicer without any act or
deed on the part of such Subservicer or such Servicer, and such Servicer either
shall service directly the related Mortgage Loans or shall enter into a
Subservicing Agreement with a successor Subservicer which qualifies under
Section 3.02.
Any Subservicing Agreement shall include the provision that such
agreement may be immediately terminated by the Depositor or the Master Servicer
without fee, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the event that
the Servicer shall, for any reason, no longer be a Servicer (including
termination due to an Event of Default).
Section 3.04 Liability of the Servicer. Notwithstanding any
Subservicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to
agreements or arrangements between a Servicer and a Subservicer or reference to
actions taken through a Subservicer or otherwise, such Servicer shall remain
obligated and primarily liable to the Trustee 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
Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the
Subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if
such Servicer alone were servicing and administering such Mortgage Loans. Each
Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with a Subservicer for
indemnification of such Servicer by such Subservicer and nothing contained in
this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.
Section 3.05 No Contractual Relationship between Subservicers, the
Trustee and the Master Servicer. Any Subservicing Agreement that may be entered
into and any transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans involving a
Subservicer in its capacity as such shall be deemed to be between the
Subservicer and the related Servicer alone, and neither the Trustee nor the
Master Servicer (or any successor to such Servicer) shall be deemed a party
thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities
with respect to the Subservicer except as set forth in Section 3.06. Each
Servicer shall be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any Subservicer,
irrespective of whether the Servicer's compensation pursuant to this Agreement
is sufficient to pay such fees.
Section 3.06 Assumption or Termination of Subservicing Agreements by
Master Servicer. In the event a Servicer at any time shall for any reason no
longer be a Servicer (including by reason of the occurrence of an Event of
Default), the Master Servicer, or its designee, or the successor Servicer if the
successor Servicer is not the Master Servicer, shall, thereupon assume all of
the rights and obligations of such Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement
that such Servicer may have entered into, with copies thereof provided to the
Master Servicer prior to the Master Servicer assuming such rights and
obligations, unless the Master Servicer elects to terminate any Subservicing
Agreement in accordance with its terms as provided in Section 3.03.
Upon such assumption, the Master Servicer, its designee or the
successor servicer shall be deemed, subject to Section 3.03, to have assumed all
of such Servicer's interest therein and to have replaced such Servicer as a
party to each Subservicing Agreement to the same extent as if each Subservicing
Agreement had been assigned to the assuming party, except that (i) such Servicer
shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under any
Subservicing Agreement that arose before it ceased to be a Servicer and (ii)
none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, their designees or any
successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed any liability or obligation
of such Servicer that arose before it ceased to be a Servicer.
Each Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Master
Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to
each Subservicing 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
Subservicing Agreements to the assuming party.
Section 3.07 Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) Each
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 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 Accepted Servicing
Practices, each Servicer may (i) waive any late payment charge or, if
applicable, any penalty interest, or (ii) extend the Due Dates for the Scheduled
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 applicable Servicer shall make timely
advances on such Mortgage Loan during such extension pursuant to Section 4.01
and in accordance with the amortization schedule of such Mortgage Loan without
modification thereof by reason of such arrangements, subject to Section 4.01(d)
pursuant to which such Servicer shall not be required to make any such advances
that are Nonrecoverable P&I Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that any Mortgage Loan is in default or, in the judgment of such Servicer,
such default is reasonably foreseeable, such Servicer, consistent with the
standards set forth in Section 3.01, may also waive, modify or vary any term of
such Mortgage Loan (including modifications that would change the Mortgage
Interest Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest, extend the final
maturity date of such Mortgage Loan or waive, in whole or in part, a Prepayment
Premium), accept payment from the related Mortgagor of an amount less than the
Stated Principal Balance in final satisfaction of such Mortgage Loan, or consent
to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor (any and all such waivers, modifications, variances,
forgiveness of principal or interest, postponements, or indulgences collectively
referred to herein as "Forbearance"); provided, however, that the Servicer's
approval of a modification of a Due Date shall not be considered a modification
for purposes of this sentence; provided, further, that the final maturity date
of any Mortgage Loan may not be extended beyond the Final Scheduled Distribution
Date for the LIBOR Certificates. The applicable Servicer's analysis supporting
any Forbearance and the conclusion that any Forbearance meets the standards of
Section 3.01 shall be reflected in writing in the applicable Servicing File.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Servicer may also waive (or permit a
Subservicer to waive), in whole or in part, a Prepayment Premium if such waiver
would, in the Servicer's judgment, maximize recoveries on the related Mortgage
Loan or the Prepayment Premium is (i) not permitted to be collected by
applicable law, or the collection of the Prepayment Premium would be considered
"predatory" pursuant to written guidance published by any applicable federal,
state or local regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such matters, or
(ii) the enforceability of such Prepayment Premium is limited (x) by bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, receivership or other similar laws relating to
creditors' rights or (y) due to acceleration in connection with a foreclosure or
other involuntary payment. If a Prepayment Premium is waived other than as
permitted in this Section 3.07(a), then the applicable Servicer is required to
pay the amount of such waived Prepayment Premium, for the benefit of the Holders
of the Class P Certificates, by depositing such amount into the Collection
Account together with and at the time that the amount prepaid on the related
Mortgage Loan is required to be deposited into the Collection Account; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not have an obligation to pay the amount of any
uncollected Prepayment Premium if the failure to collect such amount is the
direct result of inaccurate or incomplete information on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule in effect at such time.
(b) The applicable Servicer shall give notice to the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee, each Rating Agency and the
Depositor of any proposed change of the location of the Collection Account
within a reasonable period of time prior to any change thereof.
Section 3.08 Subservicing Accounts. In those cases where a
Subservicer is servicing a Mortgage Loan pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement,
the Subservicer will be required to establish and maintain one or more
segregated accounts (collectively, the "Subservicing Account"). The Subservicing
Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall otherwise be acceptable to the
related Servicer. The Subservicer 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 one Business Day after
the Subservicer's receipt thereof, all proceeds of Mortgage Loans received by
the Subservicer less its servicing compensation to the extent permitted by the
Subservicing Agreement, and shall thereafter deposit such amounts in the
Subservicing Account, in no event more than two Business Days after the deposit
of such funds into the clearing account. The Subservicer shall thereafter
deposit such proceeds in the Collection Account or remit such proceeds to the
applicable Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account not later than two
Business Days after the deposit of such amounts in the Subservicing Account. For
purposes of this Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to have received
payments on the Mortgage Loans when the Subservicer receives such payments.
Section 3.09 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Escrow Accounts. (a) Each Servicer shall ensure that each First Lien Mortgage
Loan shall be covered by a paid-in-full, life-of-the-loan tax service contract
(each, a "Tax Service Contract"); provided, that the Responsible Party
transferred a fully transferable Tax Service Contract to such Servicer at no
expense to that Servicer, and that any fee charged by the applicable Servicer's
tax servicer provider for transfer of such contract will be reimbursed to the
Servicer as a Servicing Advance. Each Tax Service Contract shall be assigned to
the Master Servicer (or successor servicer), as applicable, at the applicable
Servicer's expense in the event that a Servicer is terminated as Servicer of the
related Mortgage Loan.
(b) To the extent that the services described in this paragraph (b)
are not otherwise provided pursuant to the Tax Service Contracts described in
paragraph (a) above, each Servicer undertakes to perform such functions. To the
extent the related Mortgage Loan provides for Escrow Payments, the related
Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and
maintained, one or more segregated accounts (the "Escrow Accounts"), which shall
be Eligible Accounts. Each 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 one Business Day after
such Servicer's receipt thereof, all collections from the Mortgagors (or related
advances from Subservicers) for the payment of taxes, assessments, hazard
insurance premiums and comparable items for the account of the Mortgagors
("Escrow Payments") collected on account of the Mortgage Loans and shall
thereafter deposit such Escrow Payments in the Escrow Accounts, in no event more
than two Business Days 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 an Escrow Account may be
made only to (i) effect payment of taxes, assessments, fire and hazard insurance
premiums, condominium charges and comparable items; (ii) reimburse such Servicer
(or a Subservicer to the extent provided in the related Subservicing Agreement)
out of related collections for any advances made pursuant to Section 3.01 (with
respect to taxes and assessments) and Section 3.13 (with respect to hazard
insurance); (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be
overages; (iv) pay interest to the Servicer and, if required and as described
below, to Mortgagors on balances in the Escrow Account; (v) clear and terminate
the Escrow Account at the termination of such Servicer's obligations and
responsibilities in respect of the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement; or (vi)
recover amounts deposited in error or for which amounts previously deposited are
returned due to a "not sufficient funds" or other denial of payment by the
related Mortgagor's banking institution. As part of its servicing duties, each
Servicer or Subservicer shall pay to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Escrow
Accounts, to the extent required by law and, to the extent that interest earned
on funds in the Escrow Accounts is insufficient, to pay such interest from its
or their own funds, without any reimbursement therefor. To the extent that a
Mortgage Loan does not provide for Escrow Payments, the applicable Servicer
shall determine whether any such payments are made by the Mortgagor in a manner
and at a time that is necessary to avoid the loss of the Mortgaged Property due
to a tax sale or the foreclosure as a result of a tax lien. If any such payment
has not been made and the applicable Servicer receives notice of a tax lien with
respect to the Mortgage Loan being imposed, such Servicer will, promptly and to
the extent required to avoid loss of the Mortgaged Property, advance or cause to
be advanced funds necessary to discharge such lien on the Mortgaged Property.
The applicable Servicer assumes full responsibility for the payment of all such
bills within such time 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; provided, however, that such advances are deemed to be Servicing
Advances.
Section 3.10 Collection Account. (a) On behalf of the Trustee, each
Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and
maintained, one or more segregated Eligible Accounts (such account or accounts,
the "Collection Account"), held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. Funds in the Collection Account shall not be
commingled with any other funds of the applicable Servicer. On behalf of the
Trustee, each 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
one Business Day after such Servicer's receipt thereof, and shall thereafter
deposit in the Collection Account, in no event more than two Business Days 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 subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal or
interest on the related Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date), or
payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the
Cut off Date but allocable to a Due Period subsequent thereto:
(i) all payments on account of principal, including Principal
Prepayments, on the Mortgage Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest (net of the related
Servicing Fee) on each Mortgage Loan;
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds (to the
extent such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds are not to be
applied to the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or released
to the related Mortgagor in accordance with the express requirements of
law or in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) and all
Liquidation Proceeds;
(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 such Servicer
pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 3.13(a) in respect of any
blanket policy deductibles;
(vi) all proceeds of any Mortgage Loan repurchased or purchased
in accordance with this Agreement and any Substitution Adjustment Amount;
and
(vii) all Prepayment Premiums collected by such Servicer.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account
shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, payments in the nature of late payment charges, NSF
fees, reconveyance fees, assumption fees and other similar fees and charges need
not be deposited by each Servicer in the Collection Account and shall, upon
collection, belong to the applicable Servicer as additional compensation for its
servicing activities. In the event a 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) Funds in the Collection Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 3.12. Each
Servicer shall give notice to the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator,
the Trustee and the Depositor of the location of the Collection Account
maintained by it when established and prior to any change thereof.
Section 3.11 Withdrawals from the Collection Account. (a) Each
Servicer shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account
for any of the following purposes or as described in Section 4.01:
(i) on or prior to the Remittance Date, to remit to the
Securities Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account, all
Available Funds (which solely for purposes of this Section 3.11(a)(i)
shall not be net of the Master Servicing Fee) in respect of the related
Distribution Date together with all amounts representing Prepayment
Premiums from the Mortgage Loans received during the related Prepayment
Period;
(ii) to reimburse the applicable Servicer for P&I Advances, but
only to the extent of amounts received which represent Late Collections
(net of the related Servicing Fees) of Scheduled Payments on Mortgage
Loans with respect to which such P&I Advances were made in accordance with
the provisions of Section 4.01;
(iii) to pay such Servicer or any Subservicer (A) any unpaid
Servicing Fees or (B) any unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to
each Mortgage Loan, but in each case only to the extent of any Late
Collections, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or other amounts as may be collected by such Servicer from a
Mortgagor, or otherwise received with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or
the related REO Property);
(iv) to pay to such Servicer as servicing compensation (in
addition to the Servicing Fee) on the Remittance Date any interest or
investment income earned on funds deposited in the Collection Account;
(v) to pay the Responsible Party or the Depositor, as applicable,
with respect to each Mortgage Loan that has previously been repurchased or
replaced pursuant to this Agreement all amounts received thereon
subsequent to the date of purchase or substitution, as the case may be;
(vi) to reimburse such Servicer for (A) any xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X
Advance or Servicing Advance previously made which such Servicer has
determined to be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01, (B) any unpaid
Servicing Fees to the extent not recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds or other amounts received with respect to the related
Mortgage Loan under Section 3.11(a)(iii), (C) any P&I Advance or Servicing
Advance previously made with respect to a delinquent Mortgage Loan which
Mortgage Loan has been modified by such Servicer in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement; provided that such Servicer shall only reimburse
itself for such P&I Advances and Servicing Advances at the time of such
modification and shall reimburse itself after such modification only as
otherwise permitted under the other clauses of this Section 3.11(a), and
(D) any outstanding P&I Advance or Servicing Advance made by the such
Servicer from its own funds, from Amounts Held for Future Distribution,
provided, however, any funds so applied shall be replaced by such Servicer
by deposit in the Collection Account no later than the close of business
on the related Remittance Date on which such funds are required to be
distributed pursuant to Section 4.01(b);
(vii) to pay to the Servicer any unpaid Servicing Fee upon
termination of the obligations of the Servicer;
(viii) to pay, or to reimburse such Servicer for advances in
respect of, expenses incurred in connection with any Mortgage Loan
pursuant to Section 3.15;
(ix) to reimburse the Master Servicer, such Servicer, the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee for expenses
incurred by or reimbursable to the Master Servicer, such Servicer, the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may
be, pursuant to Section 6.03, Section 7.02 or Section 8.05;
(x) to reimburse the Master Servicer, such Servicer or the
Trustee, as the case may be, for expenses reasonably incurred in respect
of the breach or defect giving rise to the repurchase obligation as
described in Section 2.03 that were included in the Repurchase Price of
the Mortgage Loan, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement
of the repurchase obligation, to the extent not otherwise paid pursuant to
the terms hereof;
(xi) to invest funds in Permitted Investments in accordance with
Section 3.12;
(xii) to withdraw any amounts deposited in the Collection Account
in error or for which amounts previously deposited are returned due to a
"not sufficient funds" or other denial of payment by the related
Mortgagor's banking institution;
(xiii) to withdraw any amounts held in the Collection Account and
not required to be remitted to the Master Servicer on the Remittance Date
occurring in the month in which such amounts are deposited into the
Collection Account, to reimburse such Servicer for unreimbursed Advances;
and
(xiv) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon
termination of this Agreement.
To the extent that a Servicer does not timely make the remittance
referred to in clause (i) above, such Servicer shall pay the Master Servicer for
the account of the Master Servicer interest on any amount not timely remitted at
the prime rate, from and including the applicable Remittance Date to but
excluding the date such remittance is actually made.
(b) Each 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 (a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v) , (vi), (vii), (viii) and
(ix) above. Each Servicer shall provide written notification to the Depositor,
on or prior to the next succeeding Remittance Date, upon making any withdrawals
from the Collection Account pursuant to subclause (a)(vi) above.
Section 3.12 Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the
Distribution Account. (a) Each Servicer may invest the funds in the Collection
Account. The Securities Administrator may invest funds in the Distribution
Account during the Securities Administrator Float Period, and shall (except
during the Securities Administrator Float Period), invest such funds in the
Distribution Account at the direction of the Depositor. For purposes of this
Section 3.12, each of the Collection Accounts and the Distribution Accounts are
referred to as an "Investment Account") and all funds therein may be invested in
one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and
maturing, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day on which such
funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement
(except for investments made at the Depositor's direction, which shall mature no
later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date of required
withdrawal). 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 Securities Administrator. The Securities Administrator
shall be entitled to sole possession (except with respect to investment
direction of funds held in the related Account and any income and gain realized
thereon in any Account other than the Distribution Account during the Securities
Administrator Float Period) over each such investment, and any certificate or
other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly to
the Securities Administrator or its agent, together with any document of
transfer necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Securities
Administrator. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at
any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Securities
Administrator may:
(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 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 related
Servicer, shall be for the benefit of such Servicer and shall be subject to its
withdrawal in the manner set forth in Section 3.11. Any other benefit derived
from the Collection Account associated with the receipt, disbursement and
accumulation of principal, interest, taxes, hazard insurance, mortgage blanket
insurance, and like sources, shall accrue to the benefit of the Servicer, except
that the Servicer shall not realize any economic benefit from any forced
charging of services except as permitted by applicable law. Such 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 the Securities Administrator,
shall be for the benefit of the Depositor (except for any income or gain
realized from the investment of funds on deposit in the Distribution Account
during the Securities Administrator Float Period, which shall be for the benefit
of the Securities Administrator). The Depositor shall deposit in the
Distribution Account (except with respect to the Securities Administrator Float
Period, in which case the Securities Administrator shall so deposit) 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 Securities Administrator shall take such action as may
be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.
(e) The Securities Administrator or its Affiliates are permitted
to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Securities
Administrator's economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser,
administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with
respect to certain of the Permitted Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect
transactions in certain Permitted Investments and (iii) effecting transactions
in certain Permitted Investments.
(f) The Securities Administrator shall not be liable for the
amount of any loss incurred with respect of any investment (except that during
the Securities Administrator Float Period, it will be responsible for
reimbursing the Trust for such loss) or lack of investment of funds held in any
Investment Account or the Distribution Account if made in accordance with
Section 3.12(c).
Section 3.13 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance, Errors and Omissions
and Fidelity Coverage. (a) Each Servicer shall cause to be maintained for each
First Lien Mortgage Loan standard hazard insurance on the related Mortgaged
Property in an amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the
outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, in each case in an amount
not less than such amount as is necessary to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the
Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer and (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. Each Servicer shall also cause to be
maintained fire insurance with extended coverage on each REO Property in an
amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value
of the improvements which are a part of such property and (ii) the outstanding
principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan at the time it became an REO
Property, plus accrued interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate and related
Servicing Advances. Each 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 any 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 such 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. Any cost incurred by
any Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of
calculating distributions to the Securities Administrator, 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 and flood insurance has been made available, the applicable 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 any Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket
policy with an insurer either (i) acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac, or
(ii) having a General Policy Rating of B:VI or better in Best's (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 3.13, it
being understood and agreed that such policy may contain a deductible clause, in
which case such 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 3.13, 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, each Servicer
agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee claims under any
such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such
policy.
(b) Each 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 such Servicer's obligations under this Agreement,
which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount that would meet the
requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac if it were the purchaser of the
Mortgage Loans, unless such Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements
from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. Each Servicer shall also maintain a fidelity
bond in the form and amount that would meet the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or
Xxxxxxx Mac, unless such Servicer has obtained a waiver of such requirements
from Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac. Each Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer
upon request with copies of any such insurance policies and fidelity bond. Each
Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if an Affiliate of
the applicable 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 such Servicer. Upon request from the Master
Servicer, each Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer proof
of coverage of the fidelity bond errors and omissions insurance policy and a
statement from the surety and the insurer that that surety and insurer shall
endeavor to notify the Trustee and the Master Servicer within 30 days prior to
such fidelity bond's errors and omissions insurance policy's termination or
material modification (or 10 days for non-payment of premium for such fidelity
bond's errors and omissions insurance policy). Each Servicer shall also cause
each Subservicer to maintain a policy of insurance covering errors and omissions
and a fidelity bond which would meet such requirements.
Section 3.14 Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements. Each 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 no
Servicer shall be required to take such action if, in the reasonable belief of
the such Servicer, such Servicer believes it is not in the best interests of the
Trust Fund and shall not exercise any such rights if prohibited by law from
doing so. If a 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, such Servicer will make reasonable
efforts to 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, such
Servicer has the prior consent of the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any,
and, to the extent permitted by applicable state law, the Mortgagor remains
liable thereon. Each 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
such Servicer and has a credit risk rating at least equal to that of the
original Mortgagor. In connection with any assumption, modification or
substitution, such 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. No Servicer shall 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 hazard insurance policy, or a new policy meeting
the requirements of this Section is obtained. Any fee collected by a Servicer in
respect of an assumption or substitution of liability agreement will be retained
by such 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 Interest Rate and the amount of the Scheduled
Payment) may be amended or modified, except as otherwise required pursuant to
the terms thereof. Each Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such
substitution, modification or assumption agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Trustee the executed original of such substitution or
assumption agreement, which document shall be added to the related Mortgage File
and shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of such Mortgage File to the
same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of
this Agreement, a 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 such Servicer may be restricted by law from preventing, for any
reason whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 3.14, 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 3.15 Realization upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. Each
Servicer shall use its best efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing
Practices, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include
an acquisition of REO Property) 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, and which are not released from this Agreement
pursuant to any other provision hereof. Each Servicer shall use reasonable
efforts to realize upon such defaulted Mortgage Loans in such manner as will
maximize the receipt of principal and interest by the Securities Administrator,
taking into account, among other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings;
provided, however with respect to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan, if, after such
Mortgage Loan becomes 180 days or more delinquent, the Servicer determines that
a significant net recovery is not possible through foreclosure, such Mortgage
Loan may be charged off and the Mortgage Loan will be treated as a Liquidated
Mortgage Loan giving rise to a Realized Loss. The foregoing is subject to the
provisions that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered
damage from an uninsured cause, a Servicer shall not be required to expend its
own funds toward the restoration of such property unless it shall determine in
its sole discretion (i) that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of
liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan to the Securities Administrator, after
reimbursement to itself for such expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be
recoverable by such Servicer through Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds
or Liquidation Proceeds from the related Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in
Section 3.11. Each Servicer shall be responsible for all other costs and
expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however, that it
shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof from the related property, as
contemplated in Section 3.11.
In the event that the related First Lien Mortgage Loan is not being
serviced by such Servicer, such Servicer shall have no liability for any losses
resulting from a foreclosure on a Second Lien Mortgage Loan in connection with
the foreclosure on the related First Lien Mortgage Loan for which the related
First Lien Mortgage Loan is not included in the Trust Fund where such Servicer
did not receive notice or otherwise had no actual knowledge regarding such
foreclosure on the related First Lien Mortgage Loan; provided, however, if such
Servicer is either notified or has actual knowledge that any holder of a First
Lien Mortgage Loan intends to accelerate the obligations secured by the First
Lien Mortgage Loan, or that any such holder intends to declare a default under
the mortgage or promissory note secured thereby, or has filed or intends to file
an election to have the related Mortgaged Property sold or foreclosed, such
Servicer shall take, on behalf of the Trust, whatever actions are necessary to
protect the interests of the Trust in accordance with Accepted Servicing
Practices and the REMIC Provisions. No Servicer shall be required to make a
Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 4.01 with respect thereto except to the
extent that it determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that such
advance would be recoverable from Liquidation Proceeds on the related Second
Lien Mortgage Loan, that a significant net recovery is possible through
foreclosure, and in no event in an amount that is greater than the then
outstanding principal balance of the related Second Lien Mortgage Loan. The
applicable Servicer shall thereafter take such action as is reasonably necessary
to recover any amount so advanced and to otherwise reimburse itself as a
Servicing Advance from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11.
The proceeds of any Liquidation Event or REO Disposition, as well as
any recovery resulting from a partial collection of Insurance Proceeds,
Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or any income from an REO
Property, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to
reimburse such Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed
Servicing Advances, pursuant to Section 3.11 or 3.17; second, to accrued and
unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan or REO Imputed Interest, at the Mortgage
Interest Rate, to the date of the liquidation or REO Disposition, or to the Due
Date prior to the Remittance Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if
not in connection with a Liquidation Event or REO Disposition; third, to
reimburse such Servicer for any related xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances, pursuant to
Section 3.11; and fourth, as a recovery of principal of the Mortgage Loan. If
the amount of the recovery so allocated to interest is less than a full recovery
thereof, that amount will be allocated as follows: first, to unpaid Servicing
Fees; and second, as interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate (net of the
Servicing Fee Rate). The portion of the recovery so allocated to unpaid
Servicing Fees shall be reimbursed to such Servicer or any Subservicer pursuant
to Section 3.11 or 3.17. The portions of the recovery so allocated to interest
at the Mortgage Interest Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate) and to principal
of the Mortgage Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to reimburse such
Servicer or any Subservicer for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances in
accordance with Section 3.11 or 3.17, and second, to the Securities
Administrator in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, subject to the
last paragraph of Section 3.17 with respect to certain excess recoveries from an
REO Disposition.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
connection with a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, in
the event a Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of
the presence of, hazardous or toxic substances or wastes on the related
Mortgaged Property, or if the Trustee or the Master Servicer otherwise requests,
such Servicer shall cause an environmental inspection or review of such
Mortgaged Property to be conducted by a qualified inspector. Upon completion of
the inspection, such Servicer shall promptly provide the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Depositor, with a written report of the environmental
inspection.
After reviewing the environmental inspection report, the applicable
Servicer shall determine consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices how to
proceed with respect to the Mortgaged Property. In the event (a) the
environmental inspection report indicates that the Mortgaged Property is
contaminated by hazardous or toxic substances or wastes and (b) the applicable
Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to proceed
with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, such Servicer
shall be reimbursed for all reasonable costs associated with such foreclosure or
acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure and any related environmental
clean-up costs, as applicable, from the related Liquidation Proceeds, or if the
Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to fully reimburse such Servicer, such
Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed from amounts in the Collection
Account pursuant to Section 3.11. In the event the applicable Servicer
determines not to proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, such Servicer shall be reimbursed from general collections for all
Servicing Advances made with respect to the related Mortgaged Property from the
Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.11. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for any determination made by the applicable Servicer pursuant to
this paragraph or otherwise.
Section 3.16 Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon the payment in full
of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by a Servicer of a notification that
payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, such
Servicer will, within five (5) Business Days of the payment in full, notify the
Trustee by a certification (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 delivery to it of the Custodial File by completing a Request for Release
in the form of Exhibit L hereto to the Trustee. Upon receipt of such
certification and Request for Release, the Trustee shall promptly release the
related Custodial File to such Servicer within three (3) Business Days. No
expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account. Any out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of
reconveyance shall be reimbursable to the Servicer as a Servicing Advance.
(b) From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including, for this purpose, collection under
any Insurance Policy relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Trustee shall, upon
request of such Servicer and delivery to the Trustee, of a Request for Release,
release the related Custodial File to such Servicer, and the Trustee shall, at
the direction of such Servicer, execute such documents as shall be necessary to
the prosecution of any such proceedings and such Servicer shall retain the
Mortgage File in trust for the benefit of the Trustee. Such Request for Release
shall obligate the applicable Servicer to return each and every document
previously requested from the Custodial File to the Trustee when the need
therefor by such 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 such Servicer has delivered to the Trustee a certificate of
a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to which
such Mortgage File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes of
such delivery. Upon receipt of 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 Trustee to the applicable Servicer or its designee. Upon receipt of a
Request for Release under this Section 3.16, the Trustee shall deliver the
related Custodial File to the requesting Servicer by regular mail or by
overnight courier, unless a Servicer requests that the Trustee deliver such
Custodial File to such Servicer by overnight courier (in which case such
delivery shall be at the applicable Servicer's expense); provided, however, that
in the event such Servicer has not previously received copies of the relevant
Mortgage Loan Documents necessary to service the related Mortgage Loan in
accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Depositor shall use reasonable
efforts to cause the Sponsor to reimburse such Servicer for any overnight
courier charges incurred for the requested Custodial Files.
Upon written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver to the applicable Servicer copies of 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, or shall exercise and deliver to such Servicer a power of attorney
sufficient to authorize such Servicer to execute such documents on its behalf.
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.
Section 3.17 Title, Conservation and Disposition of REO Property.
(a) This Section shall apply only to REO Properties acquired for the account of
the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and shall not apply to any
REO Property relating to a Mortgage Loan which was purchased or repurchased from
the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof. In the event that title to any
such REO Property is acquired, the applicable Servicer shall cause the deed or
certificate of sale to be issued in the name of the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, or the Trustee's nominee.
(b) Each Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each
REO Property for the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders solely
for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale. Each Servicer, either itself
or through an agent selected by such Servicer, shall manage, conserve, protect
and operate the REO Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves,
protects and operates other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the
same manner that similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is
managed. Each Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent
the same for a period not greater than one year, except as otherwise provided
below) on such terms and conditions as such Servicer deems to be in the best
interest of the Master Servicer. Each Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer
as to the status of each REO Property in connection with its monthly reporting
obligations.
(c) Each Servicer shall use its best efforts to dispose of the REO
Property as soon as possible (subject to the Master Servicer's right to veto any
proposed sale of REO Property) and shall sell such REO Property in any event
within three years after title has been taken to such REO Property, unless such
Servicer determines, and gives an appropriate notice to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer to such effect, that a longer period is necessary for the
orderly liquidation of such REO Property. If a period longer than three years is
permitted under the foregoing sentence and is necessary to sell any REO
Property, such Servicer shall report monthly to the Securities Administrator and
the Master Servicer as to the progress being made in selling such REO Property.
Notwithstanding its veto rights, the Trustee has no obligation with respect to
REO Dispositions.
(d) Each 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 deposit such funds in the
Collection Account.
(e) Each Servicer shall deposit net of reimbursement to such
Servicer for any related outstanding Servicing Advances and unpaid Servicing
Fees provided in Section 3.11, or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis in the
Collection Account all revenues received with respect to the related REO
Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of the REO Property.
(f) Each Servicer, upon an REO Disposition, shall be entitled to
reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances as well as any
unpaid Servicing Fees from proceeds received in connection with the REO
Disposition, as further provided in Section 3.11.
(g) Any net proceeds from an REO Disposition which are in excess of
the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan plus all unpaid REO
Imputed Interest thereon through the date of the REO Disposition shall be
retained by the applicable Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
(h) Each Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts, to sell, or
cause the Subservicer to sell, any REO Property as soon as possible, but in no
event later than the conclusion of the third calendar year beginning after the
year of its acquisition by the REMIC unless (i) such Servicer applies for an
extension of such period from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions and Code Section 856(e)(3), in which event such REO Property shall be
sold within the applicable extension period, or (ii) such Servicer, at its
expense, obtains for and delivers to the Trustee and the Master Servicer an
Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer
and such Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 of
such REO Property subsequent to such period will not result in the imposition of
taxes on "prohibited transactions" as defined in Section 860F of the Code or
cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions
or comparable provisions of relevant state laws at any time. Each Servicer shall
manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property serviced by such
Servicer for the Trustee 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) or result in the
receipt by the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 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 Section 860G(a)(1) of
the Code. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such REO Property, the applicable
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by such Servicer
protect and conserve such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as
is customary in the locality where such REO Property is located and may,
incident to its conservation and protection of the interests of the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders, rent the same, or any part thereof, as such
Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such REO Property;
provided, however, that any rent received or accrued with respect to such REO
Property qualifies as "rents from real property" as defined in Section 856(d) of
the Code.
Section 3.18 Notification of Adjustments. With respect to each
Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the applicable Servicer shall adjust the Mortgage
Interest Rate on the related Adjustment Date and shall adjust the Scheduled
Payment on the related mortgage payment adjustment date, if applicable, in
compliance with the requirements of applicable law and the related Mortgage and
Mortgage Note. In the event that an Index becomes unavailable or otherwise
unpublished, the related Servicer shall select a comparable alternative index
over which it has no direct control and which is readily verifiable. Each
Servicer shall execute and deliver any and all necessary notices required under
applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding
the Mortgage Interest Rate and Scheduled Payment adjustments. Each Servicer
shall promptly, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Master Servicer
such notifications and any additional applicable data regarding such adjustments
and the methods used to calculate and implement such adjustments. Upon the
discovery by a Servicer or the receipt of notice from the Master Servicer that a
Servicer has failed to adjust a Mortgage Interest Rate or Scheduled Payment in
accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Note, such Servicer shall
deposit in the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of any interest
loss caused as such interest loss occurs.
Section 3.19 Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Mortgage Loans. The applicable Servicer shall provide, or cause
the Subservicer to provide, to the Depositor, the Trustee, the OTS or the FDIC
and the examiners and supervisory agents thereof access to the documentation
regarding the Mortgage Loans in its possession required by applicable
regulations of the OTS. Such access shall be afforded without charge, but only
upon reasonable and prior written request and during normal business hours at
the offices of the applicable Servicer or any Subservicer. Nothing in this
Section shall derogate from the obligation of any such party to observe any
applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors
and the failure of any such party to provide access as provided in this Section
as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.
Nothing in this Section 3.19 shall require the applicable Servicer
to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information that it does
not generate in its usual course of business. The applicable Servicer shall not
be required to make copies of or to ship documents to any Person who is not a
party to this Agreement, and then only if provisions have been made for the
reimbursement of the costs thereof (excluding the Trustee).
Section 3.20 Documents, Records and Funds in Possession of the
Servicers to Be Held for the Securities Administrator for the Benefit of the
Trustee Each Servicer shall account fully to the Securities Administrator on
behalf of the Trustee for any funds received by such Servicer or which otherwise
are collected by such Servicer as Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or
Insurance Proceeds in respect of any Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Files and funds
collected or held by, or under the control of, a Servicer in respect of any
Mortgage Loans, whether from the collection of principal and interest payments
or from Liquidation Proceeds, including, but not limited to, any funds on
deposit in the Collection Account, shall be held by such Servicer for and on
behalf of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and shall be and
remain the sole and exclusive property of the Trustee, subject to the applicable
provisions of this Agreement. Each Servicer also agrees that it shall not
create, incur or subject any Mortgage File or any funds that are deposited in
the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or any Escrow Account, or any
funds that otherwise are or may become due or payable to the Securities
Administrator on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, to any claim, lien, security interest, judgment, levy, writ
of attachment or other encumbrance, or assert by legal action or otherwise any
claim or right of setoff against any Mortgage File or any funds collected on, or
in connection with, a Mortgage Loan, except, however, that such Servicer shall
be entitled to set off against and deduct from any such funds any amounts that
are properly due and payable to such Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 3.21 Servicing Compensation. (a) As compensation for its
activities hereunder, each Servicer shall, with respect to each Mortgage Loan,
be entitled to retain from deposits to the Collection Account and from
Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds, and Condemnation Proceeds related to
such Mortgage Loan, the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan (less
any portion of such amounts retained by any Subservicer). In addition, each
Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees out of related Late
Collections to the extent permitted in Section 3.11. The right to receive the
Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except as provided in
Section 6.06 or in connection with the transfer of all of a Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that
each Servicer may pay from the Servicing Fee any amounts due to a Subservicer
pursuant to a Subservicing Agreement entered into under Section 3.02.
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption or
modification fees, late payment charges, NSF fees, reconveyance fees and other
similar fees and charges (other than Prepayment Premiums) shall be retained by a
Servicer only to the extent such fees or charges are received by such Servicer.
Each Servicer shall also be entitled pursuant to Section 3.09(b)(vi) and Section
3.11(a)(iv) to withdraw from the Collection Account, as additional servicing
compensation, interest or other income earned on deposits therein.
(c) Each Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by
it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of
premiums for any blanket policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to
Section 3.13, servicing compensation of the Subservicer to the extent not
retained by it and the fees and expenses of independent accountants and any
agents appointed by such Servicer), and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided in Section 3.11.
Section 3.22 Annual Statement as to Compliance. Each Servicer, the
Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be
delivered, and each Servicer shall cause each Subservicer engaged by such

Subservicer, as applicable, during the preceding calendar year and of its
performance under this Agreement, or the applicable Subservicing Agreement, as
the case may be, has been made under such officers' supervision, and (ii) to the
best of such officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee (in its capacity as successor
master servicer, if applicable), such Servicer or Subservicer, as applicable,

Subservicing Agreement, as the case may be, in all material respects throughout

material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officers and the
nature and status thereof. Promptly after receipt of each such Officer's
Certificate, the Depositor shall review such Officer's Certificate and, if
applicable, consult with the applicable Servicer as to the nature of any
defaults by the applicable Servicer or any related Subservicer in the

capacity as successor master servicer, if applicable), the Servicers or
Subservicer shall be required to cause the delivery of any Officer's Certificate
required by this Section in any given year so long as it has received written

respect of the Trust for the preceding calendar year.

Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee (in its capacity as
custodian or successor master servicer, if applicable) hereby acknowledge and
agree that their respective assessments of compliance will cover the items

and the Depositor, with a copy to the Rating Agencies, to the effect that (i) it

such Person, which includes an assertion that such Person has complied with the
Servicing Criteria applicable to it pursuant to Section 3.23(a) and (ii) on the
basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards for

capacity as either custodian or successor master servicer, if applicable) or the
applicable Subservicer's or Servicing Function Participant's obligations
hereunder or under any applicable sub-servicing agreement. No Subcontractor
engaged by a Servicer shall be required to deliver any such attestation required
by this paragraph in any given year so long as it has received written
confirmation from the Depositor that a Form 10-K is not required to be filed in
respect of the Trust for the preceding calendar year.
(c) Unless previously provided under Section 3.02(e), no later than
March 1 of each fiscal year, commencing in 2007, each Servicer shall notify the

Subservicer, as applicable, at the time such assessment of compliance with

that a Servicer shall for any reason no longer be a Servicer hereunder
(including by reason of an Event of Default), the Master Servicer or its
successor, subject to the rights of the servicing rights pledgee (if any) under
Sections 6.06 and 7.02, shall thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations
of such Servicer hereunder arising thereafter (except that the Master Servicer
shall not be (i) liable for losses of the predecessor Servicer pursuant to
Section 3.10 or any acts or omissions of the predecessor Servicer hereunder,
(ii) obligated to make Advances if it is prohibited from doing so by applicable
law, (iii) obligated to effectuate repurchases or substitutions of Mortgage
Loans hereunder, including but not limited to repurchases or substitutions
pursuant to Section 2.03, (iv) responsible for expenses of such Servicer
pursuant to Section 2.03 or (v) deemed to have made any representations and
warranties of such Servicer hereunder). Any such assumption shall be subject to
Sections 6.06 and 7.02.
(b) Every Subservicing Agreement entered into by each Servicer shall
contain a provision giving the successor Servicer the option to terminate such
agreement in the event a successor Servicer is appointed.
(c) If the applicable Servicer shall for any reason no longer be a
Servicer (including by reason of any Event of Default), the Master Servicer (or
any other successor Servicer) may, at its option, succeed to any rights and
obligations of such Servicer under any Subservicing Agreement in accordance with
the terms thereof; provided, that the Master Servicer (or any other successor
Servicer) shall not incur any liability or have any obligations in its capacity
as successor Servicer under a Subservicing Agreement arising prior to the date
of such succession unless it expressly elects to succeed to the rights and
obligations of the applicable Servicer thereunder; and such Servicer shall not
thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Subservicing
Agreement arising prior to the date of such succession.
(d) The applicable Servicer shall, upon request of the Master
Servicer, but at the expense of such Servicer, deliver to the assuming party all
documents and records relating to each Subservicing Agreement (if any) and the
Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts
collected and held by it and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the
orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreement to the assuming
party.
Section 3.25 Compensating Interest. The applicable Servicer shall
remit to the Securities Administrator on each Remittance Date an amount from its
own funds equal to Compensating Interest payable by such Servicer for such
Remittance Date.
Section 3.26 Credit Reporting; Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act. (a) With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, the applicable Servicer shall fully furnish, in
accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its implementing regulations,
accurate and complete information (e.g., favorable and unfavorable) on the
related Mortgagor credit files to Equifax, Experian and TransUnion Credit
Information Company (three of the national credit repositories), on a monthly
basis.
(b) Each Servicer shall comply with all provisions of the Privacy
Laws relating to the Mortgage Loans, the related borrowers and any "nonpublic
personal information" (as defined in the Privacy Laws) received by such Servicer
incidental to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement,
including, maintaining adequate information security procedures to protect such
nonpublic personal information and providing all privacy notices required by the
Privacy Laws.
Section 3.27 Excess Reserve Fund Account; Distribution Account. (a)
The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the Excess Reserve
Fund Account, on behalf of the Class X Certificateholders, to receive that
portion of the distributions on the Class X Interest up to an amount equal to
any Basis Risk Payments and to pay to the LIBOR Certificateholders any Basis
Risk Carry Forward Amounts (prior to using any Net Swap Receipts). For the
avoidance of doubt, any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts shall be paid to the
LIBOR Certificates first from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and then from the
Supplemental Interest Trust.
On each Distribution Date on which there exists a Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amount on any Class of LIBOR Certificates, the Securities Administrator
shall (1) withdraw from the Distribution Account and deposit in the Excess
Reserve Fund Account, as set forth in Section 4.02(a)(iii)(L), the lesser of the
Class X Distributable Amount (to the extent remaining after the distributions
specified in Sections 4.02(a)(iii)(A)-(K) and without regard to the reduction in
clause (iii) of the definition thereof for any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts
or any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment) and the aggregate Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amount and (2) withdraw from the Excess Reserve Fund Account amounts
necessary to pay to such Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates the applicable
Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts. Such payments, along with payments from the
Supplemental Interest Trust, shall be allocated to those Classes based upon the
amount of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount owed to each such Class and shall be
paid in the priority set forth in Section 4.02(a)(iii)(M). In the event that the
Class Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates is reduced because of
Applied Realized Loss Amounts, the applicable Certificateholders will not be
entitled to receive Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts on the written down amounts
on such Distribution Date or any future Distribution Dates (except to the extent
such Class Certificate Balance is increased as a result of any Subsequent
Recoveries), even if funds are otherwise available for distribution.
The Securities Administrator shall account for the Excess Reserve
Fund Account as an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of
subchapter J of the Code and not as an asset of any Trust REMIC created pursuant
to this Agreement. The beneficial owners of the Excess Reserve Fund Account are
the Class X Certificateholders.
Any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts distributed by the Securities
Administrator to the LIBOR Certificateholders from the Excess Reserve Fund
Account shall be accounted for by the Securities Administrator, for federal
income tax purposes, as amounts paid first to the Holders of the Class X
Certificates (in respect of the Class X Interest) and then to the respective
Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates. In addition, the Securities
Administrator shall account for the rights of Holders of each Class of LIBOR
Certificates to receive payments of Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts from the
Excess Reserve Fund Account (along with payments of Basis Risk Carry Forward
Amounts and without duplication, Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts from the
Supplemental Interest Trust) as rights in a separate limited recourse interest
rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of Holders
of each such Class.
Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, the
Securities Administrator shall not be required to make any payments from the
Excess Reserve Fund Account except as expressly set forth in this Section
3.27(a).
(b) The Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain the
Distribution Account on behalf of the Certificateholders. The Securities
Administrator shall, promptly upon receipt on the Business Day received, deposit
in the Distribution Account and retain therein the following:
(i) the aggregate amount remitted by such Servicer to the
Securities Administrator pursuant to Section 3.11;
(ii) any amount deposited by such Servicer pursuant to Section
3.12(b) in connection with any losses on Permitted Investments;
(iii) any amounts remitted by such Servicer to the Securities
Administrator in respect of Compensating Interest pursuant to Section
3.25; and
(iv) any other amounts deposited hereunder which are required to
be deposited in the Distribution Account.
In the event that the applicable Servicer shall remit any amount not
required to be remitted, such Servicer may at any time direct the Securities
Administrator in writing to withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account,
any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Such direction may be
accomplished by delivering notice to the Securities Administrator, which
describes the amounts deposited in error in the Distribution Account. All funds
deposited in the Distribution Account shall be held by the Securities
Administrator in trust for the Certificateholders until disbursed in accordance
with this Agreement or withdrawn in accordance with Section 4.02.
(c) In order to comply with its duties under the USA Patriot Act of
2001, the Securities Administrator shall obtain and verify certain information
and documentation from the other parties to this Agreement including, but not
limited to, each such party's name, address, and other identifying information.
To help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering
activities, the Trustee will obtain, verify, and record information that
identifies individuals or entities that establish a relationship or open an
account with it. The Trustee will ask for the name, address, tax identification
number and other information that will allow the Trustee to identify the
individual or entity who is establishing the relationship or opening the
account. The Trustee may also ask for formation documents such as articles of
incorporation, an offering memorandum, or other identifying documents to be
provided.
Section 3.28 Optional Purchase of Delinquent Mortgage Loans. The
Depositor (or its assignee), in its sole discretion, shall have the option, but
shall not be obligated, to purchase any 90+ Delinquent Mortgage Loans from the
Trust Fund. The purchase price for any such Mortgage Loan shall be 100% of the
unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest
on the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, plus the
amount of any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made by such Servicer. Upon
receipt of such purchase price, the applicable Servicer shall provide to the
Trustee a Request for Release and the Trustee shall promptly release to the
Depositor or such Servicer, as applicable, the Custodial File relating to the
Mortgage Loan being repurchased.
Section 3.29 Transfer of Servicing for Certain Mortgage Loans Prior
to the Servicing Transfer Date, NCMC shall have complied with each of the
servicing transfer requirements in accordance with customary industry
procedures.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND
ADVANCES BY THE SERVICER
Section 4.01 Advances. (a) The amount of P&I Advances to be made by
each Servicer for any Remittance Date shall equal, subject to Section 4.01(c),
the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Scheduled Payments (with each interest
portion thereof net of the related Servicing Fee) due during the Due Period
immediately preceding such Remittance Date in respect of the related Mortgage
Loans, which Scheduled Payments were not received as of the close of business on
the related Determination Date, (ii) with respect to Second Lien Mortgage Loans
for which Scheduled Payments were not received as of the close of business on
the related Determination Date, the interest portion of the aggregate amount of
Scheduled Payments (net of the related Servicing Fee), due during the Due Period
immediately preceding such Remittance Date, (iii) 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 REO Imputed
Interest that would have been due on the related Due Date in respect of the
related Mortgage Loans and (iv) with respect to each Mortgage Loan that required
a balloon payment on its final Due Date, a payment equal to the assumed monthly
payment that would have been due on the related Due Date based upon the original
principal amortization schedule for such balloon mortgage loan.
(b) On each Remittance Date, each Servicer shall remit in
immediately available funds to the Securities Administrator 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 Remittance Date either (i) from its own funds or (ii) from the
Collection Account, to the Amounts Held for Future Distribution (in which case,
such Servicer will cause to be made an appropriate entry in the records of the
Collection Account that Amounts Held for Future Distribution have been, as
permitted by this Section 4.01, used by such 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 such Servicer with respect to the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. Any Amounts Held for Future Distribution and
so used shall be appropriately reflected in such Servicer's records and replaced
by such Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before any future
Remittance Date to the extent required. In addition, such Servicer shall have
the right to reimburse itself for any outstanding P&I Advance and Servicing
Advance made by it from its own funds from Amounts Held For Future Distribution.
Any funds so applied and transferred pursuant to the previous sentence shall be
replaced by such Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account no later than the
close of business on the related Remittance Date on which such funds are
required to be distributed pursuant to this Agreement. The applicable Servicer
may reimburse itself from the Collection Account for xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances
and Servicing Advances made in connection with the modification of a Mortgage
Loan.
(c) The obligation of each Servicer to make such P&I Advances is
mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to
paragraph (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 coverage under this Agreement, except as otherwise
provided in this Section 4.01.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance
or Servicing Advance shall be required to be made hereunder by the Servicer if
such P&I Advance or Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The
determination by any Servicer that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance or Servicing
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or a

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Stepdown Date is the date on

Distribution Dates, shall be distributed to the Class A Certificates of the
other Class A Certificate Group remaining Outstanding, in accordance with the

distributions of principal to the Class A-1 Certificate Group shall be made
first from Available Funds relating to the Group I Mortgage Loans. Any
distributions of principal to the Class A-2 Certificate Group shall be made
first from Available Funds relating to the Group II Mortgage Loans.
Any principal distributions allocated to the Class A-2 Certificate
Group are required to be distributed sequentially to the Class A-2A
Certificates, until their Class Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero,
then to the Class A-2B Certificates, until their Class Certificate Balance has
been reduced to zero, then to the Class A-2C Certificates, until their Class
Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero and then to the Class A-2D
Certificates, until their Class Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero.
Notwithstanding the allocation of principal to the Class A
Certificates described in the preceding paragraphs, from and after the
Distribution Date on which the aggregate Class Certificate Balances of the
Subordinated Certificates and the principal balance of the Class X Certificates
have been reduced to zero, any principal distributions allocated to the Class A
Certificates are required to be allocated pro rata to the Class A Certificates,
based on their respective Certificate Principal Balances.
(d) On any Distribution Date, any Relief Act Shortfalls and Net
Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for such Distribution Date shall be allocated by
the Securities Administrator as a reduction in the following order:
(1) First, to the portion of the Class X Distributable
Amount allocable to interest; and
(2) Second, pro rata, as a reduction of the Accrued
Certificate Interest Distribution Amount for the Class A,
Class M and Class B Certificates, based on the amount of
interest to which such Classes would otherwise be entitled.

shall be responsible for providing information to the Securities Administrator
for inclusion in the applicable Form 10-D.
(b) The Securities Administrator's responsibility for providing the

applicable, to the availability, timeliness and accuracy of the information
derived from the Responsible Party, the Master Servicer and the Servicers. The

a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii)
of this Section 4.03 aggregated for such calendar year or applicable portion
thereof during which such Person was a Certificateholder. Such obligation of the
Securities Administrator shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent
that substantially comparable information shall be provided by the Securities
Administrator pursuant to any requirements of the Code as from time to time in
effect.
(d) Not later than the Reporting Date for each Distribution Date,
the applicable Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor with respect to clause
(i) below and the Securities Administrator with respect to clause (ii) below, a
monthly remittance advice statement (the "Servicer Remittance Report")
substantially similar to the format set forth in Exhibit Y hereto, a monthly
defaulted loan report substantially similar to the format set forth in Exhibit Z

in Exhibit AA hereto (or in such other format mutually agreed to among the
Depositor, the Servicers, and the Master Servicer) relating to the period ending
on the last day of the preceding calendar month containing such information as
shall be reasonably requested (i) by the Depositor to enable the Depositor to
disclose "static pool information", as required by Item 1105 of Regulation AB,
with respect to the Mortgage Loans, and (ii) by the Securities Administrator to
enable the Securities Administrator to provide the reports required by Section

Mortgage Loans. The Depositor will use the information required pursuant to this
Section 4.03(d) in compliance with applicable law.
Each Servicer shall furnish to the Securities Administrator an
individual loan accounting report, as of the last Business Day of each month, to
document Mortgage Loan payment activity on an individual Mortgage Loan basis.
With respect to each month, the corresponding individual loan accounting report
(in electronic format) shall be received by the Securities Administrator no
later than the Reporting Date, which report shall, at a minimum, contain the
following:
(i) with respect to each Scheduled Payment, the amount of such
remittance allocable to principal (including a separate breakdown of any
Principal Prepayment, including the date of such prepayment, and any
Prepayment Premiums, along with a detailed report of interest on Principal
Prepayment amounts remitted in accordance with Section 3.25);
(ii) with respect to each Scheduled Payment, the amount of such

(ix) any other information reasonably required by the Securities
Administrator to enable it to prepare the Monthly Statement referred to in
Section 4.03(a).
(e) For all purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Mortgage
Loan, delinquencies shall be determined and reported based on the so-called
"OTS" methodology for determining delinquencies on mortgage loans similar to the
Mortgage Loans. By way of example, a Mortgage Loan would be delinquent with
respect to a Scheduled Payment due on a Due Date if such Scheduled Payment is
not made by the close of business on the Mortgage Loan's next succeeding Due
Date, and a Mortgage Loan would be more than 30-days Delinquent with respect to
such Scheduled Payment if such Scheduled Payment were not made by the close of
business on the Mortgage Loan's second succeeding Due Date.
Section 4.04 Certain Matters Relating to the Determination of LIBOR.
LIBOR shall be calculated by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the
definition of "LIBOR." Until all of the LIBOR Certificates are paid in full, the
Securities Administrator shall at all times retain at least four Reference Banks
for the purpose of determining LIBOR with respect to each LIBOR Determination
Date. The Securities Administrator initially shall designate the Reference Banks
(after consultation with the Depositor). Each "Reference Bank" shall be a
leading bank engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the international
Eurocurrency market, shall not control, be controlled by, or be under common
control with, the Securities Administrator and shall have an established place
of business in London. If any such Reference Bank should be unwilling or unable
to act as such or if the Securities Administrator should terminate its
appointment as Reference Bank, the Securities Administrator shall promptly
appoint or cause to be appointed another Reference Bank (after consultation with
the Depositor). The Securities Administrator shall have no liability or
responsibility to any Person for (i) the selection of any Reference Bank for
purposes of determining LIBOR or (ii) any inability to retain at least four
Reference Banks which is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
The Pass-Through Rate for each Class of LIBOR Certificates for each
Interest Accrual Period shall be determined by the Securities Administrator on
each LIBOR Determination Date so long as the LIBOR Certificates are Outstanding
on the basis of LIBOR and the respective formulae appearing in footnotes
corresponding to the LIBOR Certificates in the table relating to the
Certificates in the Preliminary Statement. The Securities Administrator shall
not have any liability or responsibility to any Person for its inability,
following a good-faith reasonable effort, to obtain quotations from the
Reference Banks or to determine the arithmetic mean referred to in the
definition of LIBOR, all as provided for in this Section 4.04 and the definition
of LIBOR. The establishment of LIBOR and each Pass-Through Rate for the LIBOR
Certificates by the Securities Administrator shall (in the absence of manifest
error) be final, conclusive and binding upon each Holder of a Certificate, the
Trustee and the Securities Administrator.
Section 4.05 Allocation of Applied Realized Loss Amounts. Any
Applied Realized Loss Amounts shall be allocated by the Securities Administrator
to the most junior Class of Subordinated Certificates then Outstanding in
reduction of the Class Certificate Balance thereof. In the event Applied
Realized Loss Amounts are allocated to any Class of LIBOR Certificates, their
Class Certificate Balances shall be reduced by the amount so allocated, and no
funds will be distributable with respect to the written down amounts (including
without limitation Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts) or with respect to interest
on the written down amounts on that Distribution Date or any future Distribution
Dates, even if funds are otherwise available for distribution. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Class Certificate Balance of each Class of Subordinated
Certificates that has been previously reduced by Applied Realized Loss Amounts
will be increased, in order of seniority, by the amount of the Subsequent
Recoveries (but not in excess of the Applied Realized Loss Amount allocated to
the applicable Class of Subordinated Certificates).
Section 4.06 Supplemental Interest Trust. On the Closing Date, the
Securities Administrator shall establish and maintain in its name, a separate
non-interest bearing trust account for the benefit of the holders of the LIBOR
Certificates (the "Supplemental Interest Trust") as a part of the Trust Fund.
The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an Eligible Account, and funds on
deposit therein shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be
commingled with, any other moneys, including, without limitation, other moneys
of the Securities Administrator held pursuant to this Agreement.
On any Distribution Date, Swap Termination Payments, Net Swap
Payments owed to the Swap Provider and Net Swap Receipts for that Distribution
Date will be deposited into the Supplemental Interest Trust. Funds in the
Supplemental Interest Trust will be distributed in the following order of
priority:
(i) to the Swap Provider, the sum of (x) all Net Swap Payments
and (y) any Swap Termination Payment, other than a Defaulted Swap
Termination Payment, to the Swap Provider, if any, owed for that
Distribution Date;
(ii) to the LIBOR Certificateholders, to pay Accrued Certificate
Interest Distribution Amounts (including for this purpose Upper-Tier
Carry-Forward Amounts not included in Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts)
and, if applicable, any Unpaid Interest Amounts as described in Section
4.02(a)(i) and Section 4.02(a)(iii), to the extent unpaid from other
Available Funds;
(iii) to the LIBOR Certificateholders, to pay principal as
described in Section 4.02(a)(ii), but only to the extent necessary to
restore the Overcollateralized Amount to the Specified Overcollateralized
Amount as a result of current or previous Realized Losses not previously
reimbursed, after giving effect to payments and distributions from other
Available Funds;
(iv) to the LIBOR Certificateholders, to pay Unpaid Interest
Amounts and Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts as described in Section
4.02(a)(iii), to the extent unpaid from other Available Funds (including
Basis Risk Payments on deposit in the Excess Reserve Fund Account);
(v) to the Swap Provider, any Defaulted Swap Termination Payment
owed to the Swap Provider for that Distribution Date; and
(vi) to the holders of the Class X Certificates, any remaining
amounts.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Trust receives
a Swap Termination Payment and a successor Swap Provider cannot be obtained,
then the Securities Administrator shall deposit the Swap Termination Payment
into the reserve account that is a sub-account of the Supplemental Interest
Trust. On each subsequent Distribution Date (so long as funds are available in
the reserve account), the Securities Administrator shall withdraw from the
reserve account and deposit into the Supplemental Interest Trust an amount equal
to the amount of any Net Swap Receipt due the Trust (calculated in accordance
with the terms of the original Interest Rate Swap Agreement) and treat such
amount as a Net Swap Receipt for purposes of determining the distributions from
the Supplemental Interest Trust.
Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the
Supplemental Interest Trust shall be distributed pursuant to the priorities set
forth in this Section 4.06.
The Securities Administrator shall account for the Supplemental
Interest Trust as an asset of a grantor trust under subpart E, Part I of
subchapter J of the Code and not as an asset of any Trust REMIC created pursuant
to this Agreement. The beneficial owners of the Supplemental Interest Trust are
the Class X Certificateholders. For federal income tax purposes, Net Swap
Payments and Swap Termination Payments payable to the Swap Provider shall be
deemed to be paid to the Supplemental Interest Trust first, from the Class X
REMIC, by the Holder of the Class X Certificates (in respect of the Class IO
Interest and, if applicable, Class X Interest) and second, other than any
Defaulted Swap Termination Payment, from the Upper-Tier REMIC by the Holders of
the applicable Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates (in respect of Class IO
Shortfalls) as and to the extent provided in Section 8.13.
Any Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication,
Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts distributed by the Securities Administrator to
the LIBOR Certificateholders shall be accounted for by the Securities
Administrator, for federal income tax purposes, as amounts paid first to the
Holders of the Class X Certificates in respect of the Class X Interest and (to
the extent remaining after payments to the Swap Provider) the Class IO Interest
and then to the respective Class or Classes of LIBOR Certificates. In addition,
the Securities Administrator shall account for the rights of Holders of each
Class of LIBOR Certificates to receive payments of Basis Risk Carry Forward
Amounts and, without duplication, Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts from the
Supplemental Interest Trust (along with Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts payable
from the Excess Reserve Fund Account) as rights in a separate limited recourse
interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of
Holders of each such Class.
The Supplemental Interest Trust shall be an "outside reserve fund"
for federal income tax purposes and not an asset of any Trust REMIC.
Furthermore, the Holders of the Class X Certificates shall be the beneficial
owners of the Supplemental Interest Trust for all federal income tax purposes,
and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon.
With respect to the failure of the Swap Provider to perform any of
its obligations under the Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the breach by the Swap
Provider of any of its representations and warranties made pursuant to the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement, or the termination of the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement, the Securities Administrator shall send any notices and make any
demands, on behalf of the Trust, as are required under the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement. The Securities Administrator shall cause any replacement swap
provider to provide a copy of the related replacement interest rate swap
agreement to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor.
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
Section 5.01 The Certificates. The Certificates shall be
substantially in the forms attached hereto as exhibits. The Certificates shall
be issuable in registered form, in the minimum denominations, integral multiples
in excess thereof (except that one Certificate in each Class may be issued in a
different amount which must be in excess of the applicable minimum denomination)
and aggregate denominations per Class set forth in the Preliminary Statement.
The Depositor hereby directs the Securities Administrator to
register the Class P, Class C and Class X Certificates in the name of the
Depositor or its designee. On a date as to which the Depositor notifies the
Securities Administrator, the Securities Administrator shall transfer the Class
X and Class P Certificates in the name of the NIM Trustee, or such other name or
names as the Depositor shall request, and to deliver the Class X and Class P
Certificates to the NIM Trustee, or to such other Person or Persons as the
Depositor shall request.
Subject to Section 10.02 respecting the final distribution on the
Certificates, on each Distribution Date the Securities Administrator shall make
distributions to each Certificateholder of record on the preceding Record Date
either (x) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of
such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor as
directed by that Certificateholder by written wire instructions provided to the
Securities Administrator or (y), in the event that no wire instructions are
provided to the Securities Administrator, by check mailed by first class mail to
such Certificateholder at the address of such Holder appearing in the
Certificate Register.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature
on behalf of the Securities Administrator by an authorized officer. Certificates
bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time
such signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Securities
Administrator shall bind the Securities Administrator, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to be so authorized prior to the
authentication and delivery of any such Certificates or did not hold such
offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless authenticated
by the Securities Administrator by manual signature, and such authentication
upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. On the Closing
Date, the Securities Administrator shall authenticate the Certificates to be
issued at the direction of the Depositor or any Affiliate thereof.
Section 5.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and
Exchange of Certificates. (a) The Securities Administrator shall maintain, or
cause to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06, a
Certificate Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of
subsections (b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Securities Administrator shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Securities
Administrator shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class and
aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the
Certificates to be exchanged at the office or agency of the Securities
Administrator. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the
Securities Administrator shall execute, authenticate, and deliver the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Securities Administrator duly executed by the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing. In the event, the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor transfers the Class X Certificates, or a portion
thereof, to another Affiliate, it shall notify the Securities Administrator in
writing of the affiliated status of the transferee. The Securities Administrator
shall have no liability regarding the lack of notice with respect thereto.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently destroyed by the Securities
Administrator in accordance with the Securities Administrator's customary
procedures.
(b) No transfer of a Private Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from the
registration requirements under the Securities Act and such state securities
laws. Except with respect to (i) the transfer of the Class X, Class P or a
Residual Certificate to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor, (ii) the
transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates to the NIM Issuer or the NIM
Trustee, (iii) a transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates from the NIM
Issuer or the NIM Trustee to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor or
(iv) a transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Servicer, an Affiliate of a
Servicer, or its designee (including, without limitation, an employee of such
Servicer who is an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D under the
Securities Act), in the event that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is
a Physical Certificate is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the
Securities Act and such laws, in order to assure compliance with the Securities
Act and such laws, the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall
certify to the Securities Administrator in writing the facts surrounding the
transfer in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit I (the "Transferor
Certificate") and either (i) there shall be delivered to the Securities
Administrator a letter in substantially the form of Exhibit J (the "Rule 144A
Letter") or Exhibit K (the "Non-Rule 144A Investment Letter") or (ii) in the
case of the Class X Certificates, there shall be delivered to the Securities
Administrator at the expense of the transferor an Opinion of Counsel that such
transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. In the event
that a transfer of a Private Certificate which is a Book-Entry Certificate is to
be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act and such laws, in
order to assure compliance with the Securities Act and such laws, the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer will be deemed to have made
as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the Transferor
Certificate in respect of such Certificate and the transferee will be deemed to
have made as of the transfer date each of the certifications set forth in the
Rule 144A Letter in respect of such Certificate, in each case as if such
Certificate were evidenced by a Physical Certificate. A transferee of any
Private Certificates who is not a "qualified institutional buyer" as that term
is defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act must take delivery of such Private
Certificates in definitive form. The Depositor shall provide to any Holder of a
Private Certificate and any prospective transferee designated by any such
Holder, information regarding the related Certificates and the Mortgage Loans
and such other information as shall be necessary to satisfy the condition to
eligibility set forth in Rule 144A(d)(4) for transfer of any such Certificate
without registration thereof under the Securities Act pursuant to the
registration exemption provided by Rule 144A. To the extent of any information
reasonably within the possession of the applicable party, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall cooperate with the
Depositor in providing the Rule 144A information referenced in the preceding
sentence, including providing to the Depositor such information regarding the
Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and other matters regarding the Trust Fund as
the Depositor shall reasonably request to meet its obligation under the
preceding sentence. Each Holder of a Private Certificate desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Depositor and each 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.
Except with respect to (i) the transfer of a Residual, Class X,
Class C or Class P Certificates to the Depositor or an Affiliate of the
Depositor, (ii) the transfer of the Class X or Class P Certificates to the NIM
Issuer or the NIM Trustee, (iii) a transfer of the Class X or Class P
Certificates from the NIM Issuer or the NIM Trustee to the Depositor or an
Affiliate of the Depositor or (iv) a transfer of a Residual Certificate to the
applicable Servicer, an Affiliate of such Servicer, or its designee (including,
without limitation, an employee of the applicable Servicer who is an "accredited
investor" as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act), no transfer of
an ERISA-Restricted Certificate shall be made unless the Securities
Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation from the
transferee of such Certificate acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Securities Administrator (in the event such Certificate is a
Private Certificate or a Residual Certificate, such requirement is satisfied
only by the Securities Administrator's receipt of a representation letter from
the transferee substantially in the form of Exhibit I), to the effect that such
transferee is not an employee benefit plan or arrangement subject to Section 406
of ERISA, a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or a plan subject to any
Federal, state or local law ("Similar Law") materially similar to the foregoing
provisions of ERISA or the Code, nor a Person acting on behalf of any such plan
or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or arrangement
(collectively, a "Plan") to effect such transfer, (ii) in the case of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual Certificate, a Class C
Certificate or a Class P Certificate that has been the subject of an
ERISA-Qualifying Underwriting and the purchaser is an insurance company, a
representation that the purchaser is an insurance company that is purchasing
such Certificates with funds contained in an "insurance company general account"
(as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class
Exemption 95-60 ("PTCE 95-60")) and that the purchase and holding of such
Certificates are covered under Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 or (iii) in the
case of any such ERISA-Restricted Certificate other than a Residual Certificate,
a Class C Certificate or a Class P Certificate presented for registration in the
name of a Plan, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the
Securities Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicers or the Trust
Fund, addressed to the Securities Administrator, to the effect that the purchase
or holding of such ERISA-Restricted Certificate will not constitute or result in
a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of
the Code or any Similar Law and will not subject the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Servicers to any
obligation in addition to those expressly undertaken in this Agreement or to any
liability. For purposes of the preceding sentence, with respect to an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is not a Private Certificate or a Residual
Certificate, in the event the representation letter referred to in the preceding
sentence is not furnished, such representation shall be deemed to have been made
to the Securities Administrator by the transferee's (including an initial
acquirer's) acceptance of the ERISA-Restricted Certificates. Notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary herein, (a) any purported transfer of an
ERISA-Restricted Certificate, other than a Class P Certificate, a Class C
Certificate or a Residual Certificate, to or on behalf of an employee benefit
plan subject to ERISA, the Code or Similar Law without the delivery to the
Securities Administrator of an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator as described above shall be void and of no effect and (b) any
purported transfer of a Class P Certificate, a Class C Certificate or Residual
Certificate to a transferee that does not make the representation in clause (i)
above shall be void and of no effect.
The Residual Certificates, the Class C Certificates and Class P
Certificates may not be sold to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of
ERISA, any plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or any plan subject to any
Similar Law or any Person investing on behalf of or with plan assets of such
Plan.
To the extent permitted under applicable law (including, but not
limited to, ERISA), the Securities Administrator shall be under no liability to
any Person for any registration of transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(b) or for making any payments
due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other action with
respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement so long as the
transfer was registered by the Securities Administrator in accordance with the
foregoing requirements.
As long as the Interest Rate Swap Agreement is in effect, each
beneficial owner of a Certificate other than an ERISA-Restricted Certificate, or
any interest therein, shall be deemed to have represented that either (i) it is
not a Plan or (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Certificate are eligible
for the exemptive relief available under at least one of the Investor-Based
Exemptions.
(c) 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
the rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(i) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Securities Administrator of any change or impending change in
its status as a Permitted Transferee;
(ii) Except in the case of a Transfer of a Residual Certificate
to an employee of the applicable Servicer who is an "accredited investor"
as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, no Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate may be registered on the Closing Date or
thereafter transferred, and the Securities Administrator shall not
register the Transfer of any Residual Certificate unless, in addition to
the certificates required to be delivered to the Securities Administrator
under subparagraph (b) above, the Securities Administrator shall have been
furnished with an affidavit (a "Transfer Affidavit") of the initial owner
or the proposed transferee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H;
(iii) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall agree (A) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, (B) to obtain a Transfer Affidavit
from any Person for whom such Person is acting as nominee, trustee or
agent in connection with any Transfer of a Residual Certificate and (C)
not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate or to
cause the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to
any other Person if it has actual knowledge that such Person is not a
Permitted Transferee;
(iv) Any attempted or purported Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this
Section 5.02(c) shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights
in the purported Transferee. If any purported transferee shall become a
Holder of a Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this
Section 5.02(c), then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of
registration of Transfer of such Residual Certificate. The Securities
Administrator shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of Transfer of a Residual Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by Section 5.02(b) and this Section 5.02(c) or for making any
payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any other
action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement
so long as the Transfer was registered after receipt of the related
Transfer Affidavit, Transferor Certificate and the Rule 144A Letter. The
Securities Administrator shall be entitled but not obligated to recover
from any Holder of a Residual Certificate that was in fact not a Permitted
Transferee at the time it became a Holder or, at such subsequent time as
it became other than a Permitted Transferee, all payments made on such
Residual Certificate at and after either such time. Any such payments so
recovered by the Securities Administrator shall be paid and delivered by
the Securities Administrator to the last preceding Permitted Transferee of
such Certificate; and
(v) The Depositor shall use its best efforts to make available,
upon receipt of written request from the Securities Administrator, all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed under Section 860E(e) of
the Code as a result of a Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate to any Holder who is not a Permitted Transferee.
The restrictions on Transfers of a Residual Certificate set forth in
this Section 5.02(c) shall cease to apply (and the applicable portions of the
legend on a Residual Certificate may be deleted) with respect to Transfers
occurring after delivery to the Securities Administrator of an Opinion of
Counsel, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the
Depositor, the Responsible Party, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, or
the Servicers, to the effect that the elimination of such restrictions will not
cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the
Certificates are Outstanding or result in the imposition of any tax on the Trust
Fund, a Certificateholder or another Person. Each Person holding or acquiring
any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate hereby consents to any
amendment of this Agreement which, based on an Opinion of Counsel furnished to
the Securities Administrator, is reasonably necessary (a) to ensure that the
record ownership of, or any beneficial interest in, a Residual Certificate is
not transferred, directly or indirectly, to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee and (b) to provide for a means to compel the Transfer of a Residual
Certificate which is held by a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee to a
Holder that is a Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions
referred to above in this Section 5.02 in connection with transfer shall be at
the expense of the parties to such transfers.
(e) Except as provided below, the Book-Entry Certificates shall at
all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and at
all times: (i) registration of the Certificates may not be transferred by the
Securities Administrator except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository shall
maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and with
respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry Certificates; (iii)
ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry Certificates on the
books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the
Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Securities
Administrator shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and
indirect participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the
Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of holders under
this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such
representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Securities Administrator
may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by
the Depository with respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the
Depository Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons
shown on the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect
Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of 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 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.
If (x)(i) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Securities
Administrator in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository, and (ii) the Securities
Administrator or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (y)
the Depositor notifies the Depository of its intent to terminate the book-entry
system through the Depository and, upon receipt of notice of such intent from
the Depository, the Depository Participants holding beneficial interests in the
Book-Entry Certificates agree to initiate such termination, the Securities
Administrator shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of
the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive,
fully-registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate
Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Securities Administrator of
the related Class of Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by the
instructions from the Depository for registration, the Securities Administrator
shall issue the Definitive Certificates. None of the Servicers, the Depositor or
the Securities Administrator shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instruction and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying
on, such instructions. The Depositor shall provide the Securities Administrator
with an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate the issuance and
transfer of Definitive Certificates. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Securities Administrator, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates and the Securities Administrator shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder;
provided, that the Securities Administrator shall not by virtue of its
assumption of such obligations become liable to any party for any act or failure
to act of the Depository.
(f) Each Private Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer and accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (and
all appropriate attachments) or W-9 in form satisfactory to the Securities
Administrator, duly executed by the Certificateholder or his attorney duly
authorized in writing. Each Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently
disposed of by the Securities Administrator in accordance with its customary
practice. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Private Certificates, but the Securities Administrator 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 Private Certificates.
Section 5.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If
(a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Securities Administrator, or
the Securities Administrator receives evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the
Depositor, the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities
Administrator such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each
of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Securities Administrator
that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Securities
Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In connection with the
issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.03, the Securities
Administrator 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 Securities Administrator)
connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
5.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time.
Section 5.04 Persons Deemed Owners. The Servicers, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor, and any agent of
the Servicers, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered
as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as
provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of
the Servicers, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee,
the Depositor or any agent of the Servicers, the Securities Administrator, the
Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary.
Section 5.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and
Addresses. If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in
writing from the Securities Administrator, (b) state that such
Certificateholders desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with
respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates, and (c)
provide a copy of the communication which such Certificateholders propose to
transmit, or if the Depositor, the Trustee or a Servicer shall request such
information in writing from the Securities Administrator, then the Securities
Administrator shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request,
provide the Depositor, the Trustee, such Servicer or the Certificateholders at
such recipients' expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of such
Trust Fund held by the Securities Administrator, if any. The Depositor and every
Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the
Securities Administrator shall not be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders
hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
Section 5.06 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Securities
Administrator will maintain or cause to be maintained at its expense an office
or offices or agency or agencies in the United States where Certificates may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Securities
Administrator initially designates its Corporate Trust Office for registration
of transfer or exchange purposes located at Xxxxx Xxxxxx xxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Corporate Trust Services - GSAMP
2006-NC2. The Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice to the
Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency,
for purposes of the surrender of Certificates for the final distribution. The
Securities Administrator shall give prompt written notice to the
Certificateholders of any change in such location of any such office or agency.
ARTICLE VI
THE DEPOSITOR AND THE SERVICERS
Section 6.01 Respective Liabilities of the Depositor and the
Servicers. The Depositor and each of the Servicers shall each be liable in
accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically and
respectively imposed upon and undertaken by them herein.
Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of the Depositor or a Servicer.
(a) The Depositor and each Servicer will each keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a Delaware corporation, limited partnership, a
corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, under the laws of
the United States or under the laws of one of the states thereof and will each
obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation,
limited partnership, a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable,
in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to
protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, or any of the
Mortgage Loans and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
(b) Any Person into which the Depositor or a Servicer may be merged
or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Depositor or a Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
the business of the Depositor or a Servicer, shall be the successor of the
Depositor or such Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that
the successor or surviving Person to such Servicer shall be qualified to sell
mortgage loans to, and to service mortgage loans on behalf of, Xxxxxx Xxx or
Xxxxxxx Mac, and meets the requirements of Section 7.02, and provided, further,
that such merger, consolidation or succession does not adversely affect the then
current rating or ratings on the LIBOR Certificates. As a condition to the
succession to any Servicer under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which a
Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a
successor to a Servicer, such Servicer shall provide to the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator and the Master Servicer, at least 30 calendar days (or
10 Business Days in the case of the appointment of the servicing rights pledgee
or its designee as successor servicer pursuant to Sections 6.06 or 7.02
provided, however that the 30 calendar days or 10 Business Days notice period
shall not apply once the Depositor is not required to file reports pursuant to
the Exchange Act) prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment,
(x) written notice to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Master
Servicer of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator
and the Master Servicer, all information reasonably necessary to enable the
Securities Administrator, pursuant to Section 8.12(g), to accurately and timely
report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if
such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange
Act).
Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicers
and Others. Neither the Depositor, the Servicers nor any of their respective
directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability to 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
Servicers or any such Person against any breach of representations or warranties
made by it herein or protect the Depositor, the Servicers or any such Person
from any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reasons of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (or gross negligence in the case of the
Depositor) in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, each Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Depositor and each Servicer may rely in good
faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by
any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Sponsor,
each Servicer and any director, officer, employee, Affiliate or agent of the
Depositor, the Sponsor or each Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund
and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection
with any audit, controversy or judicial proceeding relating to a governmental
taxing authority or any legal action relating to this Agreement or the
Certificates or any other unanticipated or extraordinary expense, other than any
loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith
or negligence (or gross negligence in the case of the Depositor) in the
performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Depositor nor any Servicer shall
be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that
is not incidental to its respective duties hereunder and which in its opinion
may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that each of the
Depositor and each Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such action (or
the Depositor may direct the Trustee to undertake such actions pursuant to
Section 2.07 for the benefit of the Certificateholders) that it may deem
necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of
the parties hereto and interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust Fund, and the Depositor, and the applicable Servicer (and the Trustee if
directed by the Depositor to take such action) shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account.
Section 6.04 Limitation on Resignation of a Servicer. (a) Subject to
the provisions of Section 7.01, Section 6.02, the fourth and fifth paragraphs of
Section 7.02 and Section 6.06, no Servicer shall assign this Agreement or resign
from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) by mutual
consent of the applicable Servicer, the Depositor and the Securities
Administrator, (ii) upon the determination that its duties hereunder are no
longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity cannot be cured by
such Servicer or (iii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the
applicable Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the Securities
Administrator in writing; and (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a
letter to the Securities Administrator prior to the appointment of the successor
servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as a
Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then
current rating of the Regular Certificates or the ratings that are in effect.
Any such determination permitting the resignation of a Servicer under clause
(ii) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall not
be an expense of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee
or the Trust Fund) to such effect delivered to the Depositor, the Trustee, the
Master Servicer and the Securities Administrator which Opinion of Counsel shall
be in form and substance acceptable to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Securities Administrator. No such resignation shall become
effective until a successor shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities
and obligations hereunder.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Servicer
may pledge or assign as collateral all its rights, title and interest under this
Agreement to a lender. No such pledge shall reduce or otherwise affect the
Servicer's obligations under this Agreement.
Section 6.05 Additional Indemnification by the Servicers; Third
Party Claims.
(a) Each Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Sponsor, the
Responsible Party, the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the
Trustee and any Affiliate, director, officer, employee or agent of the
Depositor, the Sponsor, the Responsible Party, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee and hold each of them harmless against
any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees
and expenses that any of them may sustain in any way related to any breach by
such Servicer of (i) any of its representations and warranties referred to in
Section 2.03(a), (ii) any error in any tax or information return prepared by
such Servicer, or (iii) the failure of such Servicer to perform its duties and
service the Mortgage Loans in compliance with the terms of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the failure to deliver accurate and complete
information on a timely basis pursuant to Section 4.03(d)). The applicable
Servicer immediately shall notify the Depositor, the Responsible Party, the
Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee if such claim is
made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans,
assume (with the prior written consent of the Depositor, the Responsible Party,
the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee) the defense
of any such claim and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including
reasonable counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or
decree which may be entered against it or the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Securities Administrator, or the Trustee in respect of such claim.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, each Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator, the Sponsor, the Trustee and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Depositor, the Sponsor, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator or the Trustee and hold them harmless against any and
all claims, economic losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable
and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other related
costs, fees and expenses that any of them actually sustain, in each case that
are likely foreseeable and directly related to any failure by such Servicer or
any Subservicer engaged by such Servicer or any Subcontractor utilized by such
Servicer to deliver any information, report, certification or accountants'
letter when and as required under Sections 3.22, 3.23, 6.02 or 8.12, including
without limitation any failure by such Servicer to identify pursuant to Section
3.02(e) any Subcontractor "participating in the servicing function" within the
meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB. (c) If the indemnification provided for
in this Section 6.05 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Person
entitled to indemnification thereunder, then the applicable Servicer shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable to the party to be indemnified as a
result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of such Person in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Person on the
one hand and such Servicer, on the other, in connection with a breach of such
Servicer's obligations pursuant to this Section 6.05. This Section 6.05 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal
of the applicable Servicer.
ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT
Section 7.01 Events of Default. "Event of Default," wherever used
herein, means with respect to each Servicer individually, any one of the
following events:
(a) any failure by a Servicer to remit to the Securities
Administrator any payment required to be made under the terms of this Agreement
which continues unremedied for a period of one Business Day after the date upon
which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall
have been given to such Servicer by the Depositor, or by the Securities
Administrator, or to such Servicer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee by Certificateholders entitled to at
least 25% of the Voting Rights; or
(b) any failure on the part of a Servicer duly to observe or perform
in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of
such Servicer set forth in this Agreement which continues unremedied for a
period of thirty days (except that (x) such number of days shall be fifteen in
the case of a failure to pay any premium for any insurance policy required to be
maintained under this Agreement, (y) there shall be no cure period in the case
of the failure to perform any of the obligations set forth in Sections 3.22 and
3.23 and (z) such number of days shall be ten in the case of a failure to
observe or perform any of the obligations set forth in Sections 3.02, 6.02, 6.04
or 8.12; provided, however, that in the event that the Commission grants an
extension of time to the Depositor with respect to the Exchange Act filings
referenced in Section 8.12(a), such ten day cure period shall be extended by the
same time period) after the earlier of (i) the date on which written notice of
such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to such
Servicer by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator or by the Master
Servicer, or to such Servicer, the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee by Certificateholders of Certificates entitled
to at least 25% of the Voting Rights and (ii) actual knowledge of such failure
by a Servicing Officer of such Servicer; provided, however, that (except with
respect to clauses (x) , (y) and (z) above) in the case of a failure or breach
that cannot be cured within 30 days after notice or actual knowledge by such
Servicer, the cure period may be extended for an additional 30 days upon
delivery by such Servicer to the Securities Administrator of a certificate to
the effect that such Servicer believes in good faith that the failure or breach
can be cured within such additional time period and such Servicer is diligently
pursuing remedial action; or
(c) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or
liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or
liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against a Servicer and such
decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a
period of sixty days; or
(d) a Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to a
Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or
(e) a Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; or
(f) any failure of a Servicer to make any P&I Advance on any
Remittance Date required to be made from its own funds pursuant to Section 4.01
which continues unremedied for one Business Day immediately following the
Remittance Date.
If an Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (f) of this
Section 7.01 shall occur, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such
Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Master Servicer may, or at
the direction of Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights
the Master Servicer shall, by notice in writing to the applicable Servicer (with
a copy to each Rating Agency), terminate all of the rights and obligations of
the applicable Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans
and the proceeds thereof, other than its rights as a Certificateholder
hereunder; provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not be required to
give written notice to such Servicer of the occurrence of an Event of Default
described in clauses (b) through (f) of this Section 7.01 unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of the
occurrence of such an Event of Default. In the event that a Responsible Officer
of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of
Default described in clause (a) of this Section 7.01 (i.e., solely as to a
default caused by a failure to remit timely on a Remittance Date), the Master
Servicer shall give notice (by telephone or by email, facsimile or other
writing) to such Servicer of the occurrence of such default by the end of
business of the day on which such Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge
of such occurrence; provided that failure to give such notice shall not
constitute a waiver of such default or event of default. In the event that a
Responsible Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of the
occurrence of an Event of Default described in clause (a) of this Section 7.01,
the Master Servicer shall give written notice to such Servicer of the occurrence
of such an event within one Business Day of the first day on which such
Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge of such occurrence; provided that
failure to give such notice shall not constitute a waiver of such Event of
Default. The Master Servicer, upon a Responsible Officer having actual knowledge
of such default, shall deliver a written notice to such Servicer of the default
on any Remittance Date on which such Servicer fails to make any deposit or
payment required pursuant to this Agreement (including, but not limited to
Advances, to the extent required by this Agreement); provided, however, that if
an Event of Default occurs due to the failure of such Servicer to make an
Advance to the extent required, the Master Servicer, as successor Servicer, or
another successor Servicer shall, prior to the applicable Distribution Date,
immediately make such Advance. Any such notice to such Servicer shall also be
given to the Trustee, each Rating Agency and the Depositor. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, any remedy with respect to clause (a) of this
Section 7.01 shall be effective only if payment is received by the Master
Servicer by no later than noon (Eastern time) on the Business Day immediately
following the date of notice to such Servicer as set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence. If such Servicer fails to make such payment, the Master
Servicer shall send notice of termination (by email, facsimile or other writing)
to such Servicer, and, on and after the receipt by such Servicer of such notice,
or upon receipt by such Servicer of notice with respect to any other clause of
this Section 7.01, all authority and power of such Servicer hereunder, whether
with respect to the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in
the Master Servicer as the successor Servicer under Sections 6.06 and 7.02. The
Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on
behalf of such Servicer, as attorney in fact or otherwise, any and all documents
and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things
necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination,
whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage
Loans and related documents, or otherwise. Unless expressly provided in such
written notice, no such termination shall affect any obligation of such Servicer
to pay amounts owed pursuant to Article VIII. Each Servicer agrees to cooperate
with the Master Servicer in effecting the termination of such Servicer's
responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Master Servicer of all cash amounts which shall at the time be
credited to the Collection Account of such predecessor Servicer, or thereafter
be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding any termination of the activities of a Servicer
hereunder, such Servicer shall be entitled to receive from the Trust Fund, prior
to transfer of its servicing obligations hereunder, payment of all accrued and
unpaid portion of the Servicing Fees to which such Servicer would have been
entitled and to continue to receive reimbursement for all outstanding P&I
Advances and Servicing Advances, including Servicing Advances incurred prior to
but not invoiced until after the date of termination, in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. In addition, the Servicer shall continue to be entitled
to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any termination hereunder, with
respect to events occurring prior to such termination.
Section 7.02 Master Servicer to Act; Appointment of Successor
Servicer. On and after the time the Master Servicer gives, and a Servicer
receives, a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Master Servicer
shall, subject to and to the extent provided in Section 3.06, be the successor
to such Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on such
Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and applicable law including the
obligation to make P&I Advances or Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 4.01.
As compensation therefor, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to all funds
relating to the Mortgage Loans that such Servicer would have been entitled to
charge to the Collection Account if such Servicer had continued to act hereunder
including, if such Servicer was receiving the Servicing Fee, the Servicing Fee
and the income on investments or gain related to the Collection Account (in
addition to income on investments or gain related to the Distribution Account
for the benefit of the Securities Administrator). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Master Servicer has become the successor to such Servicer in accordance
with this Section 7.02, the Master Servicer may, if it shall be unwilling to so
act, or shall, if it is prohibited by applicable law from making P&I Advances
and Servicing Advances pursuant to Section 4.01 or if it is otherwise unable to
so act, or, at the written request of Certificateholders entitled to a majority
of the Voting Rights, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution the appointment of
which does not adversely affect the then current rating of the Certificates by
each Rating Agency, as the successor to such Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
such Servicer hereunder. Any successor to such Servicer shall be an institution
which is a Xxxxxx Xxx- and Xxxxxxx Mac approved seller/servicer in good
standing, which has a net worth of at least $30,000,000, which is willing to
service the Mortgage Loans and which executes and delivers to the Depositor and
the Master Servicer an agreement accepting such delegation and assignment,
containing an assumption by such Person of the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of such Servicer (other than
liabilities of such Servicer under Section 6.03 incurred prior to termination of
such Servicer under Section 7.01), with like effect as if originally named as a
party to this Agreement; provided, that each Rating Agency acknowledges that its
rating of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and
delegation will not be qualified or reduced, as a result of such assignment and
delegation. Pending appointment of a successor to a Servicer hereunder, the
Master Servicer, unless the Master Servicer is prohibited by law from so acting,
shall, subject to Section 3.05, act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the Master Servicer may make
such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on
Mortgage Loans as it, the Depositor and such successor shall agree; provided,
however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of the Servicing Fee and
amounts paid to such Servicer from investments. The Master Servicer and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession. Neither the Master Servicer nor any
other successor Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of
any failure to make, or any delay in making, any distribution hereunder or any
portion thereof or any failure to perform, or any delay in performing, any
duties or responsibilities hereunder, in either case caused by the failure of
such Servicer to deliver or provide, or any delay in delivering or providing,
any cash, information, documents or records to it.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for a period of 30
days following the date on which any Servicer receives a notice of termination
or removal as a Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(other than a termination or
removal based upon the Event of Default listed as clause (a) or (f) in Section
7.01 above), such Servicer or its designee may appoint a successor Servicer that
satisfies the eligibility criteria of a successor Servicer set forth in this
Section 7.02, subject to the consent of the Depositor and the Master Servicer,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The successor
Servicer appointed by such Servicer or its designee must agree to act as
successor Servicer no later than such 30-day period, fully effect the servicing
transfer within 90 days following the notice of termination or removal of such
Servicer as a Servicer, make all P&I Advances that are otherwise required to be
made by such Servicer as of the date of such appointment, and reimburse any
expenses that the Master Servicer may have incurred in connection with the
termination or removal of the Servicer and the appointment of a successor
Servicer to such Servicer. This 30-day period shall terminate immediately if any
Servicer fails to make (or cause to be made) any P&I Advances and all payments
under Section 7.01(a).
In the event that a Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01,
such terminated Servicer shall provide notices to the Mortgagors, transfer the
Servicing Files to a successor Servicer and pay all of its own out-of-pocket
costs and expenses at its own expense. In addition, all Servicing Transfer Costs
incurred by parties other than the terminated Servicer (excluding set-up costs
and other administrative expenses of the successor Servicer, in which case the
successor Servicer shall pay for such costs and expenses but shall not be
entitled to reimbursement therefor from the Trust Fund, or if the successor
servicer fails to pay, the Securities Administrator pays such amounts from the
Trust Fund), such an amount shall be paid by the terminated Servicer promptly
upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs. If the Master
Servicer is the predecessor Servicer (except in the case where the Master
Servicer in its role as successor Servicer is being terminated pursuant to
Section 7.01 by reason of an Event of Default caused solely by the Master
Servicer as the successor Servicer and not by the predecessor Servicer's actions
or omissions), such costs shall be paid by the prior terminated Servicer
promptly upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs.
Any successor to a Servicer as servicer shall give notice to the
Mortgagors of such change of Servicer, in accordance with applicable federal and
state law, and shall, during the term of its service as Servicer, maintain in
force the policy or policies that such Servicer is required to maintain pursuant
to Section 3.13.
Any such successor Servicer shall be required to satisfy the
requirements of a successor Servicer under this Section 7.02.
Section 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any
termination of or appointment of a successor to a Servicer, the Securities
Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Trustee,
Certificateholders, and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Securities Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders, and
each Rating Agency notice of each such Event of Default hereunder known to the
Securities Administrator, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or
waived.
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 8.01 Duties of the Trustee. The Trustee, before the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default and after the curing of all
Master Servicer Events of Default that may have occurred, shall undertake to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case a Master Servicer Event of Default has occurred and remains
uncured, 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.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee that are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall examine them to determine whether they are in
the form required by this Agreement. The Trustee shall not be responsible for
the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion,
report, document, order, or other instrument.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own bad faith or willful misfeasance.
Unless a Master Servicer Event of Default known to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee has occurred and is continuing,
(a) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined
solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be
liable except for the performance of the duties and obligations specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into
this Agreement against the Trustee, and the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith
to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities
respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in
good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee,
unless it is finally proven that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and
(c) the Trustee shall not be 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 evidencing not less than 25% of the
Voting Rights relating to the time, method, and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or
power conferred upon the Trustee under this Agreement.
The Master Servicer shall be permitted to utilize one or more
Subcontractors for the performance of certain of its obligations under this
Agreement, provided that the Master Servicer complies with Section 3.02(e) as if
the Master Servicer were a "Servicer" pursuant to that Section. The Master
Servicer shall indemnify the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the
Sponsor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the
Sponsor and hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may
sustain in any way related to the failure of the Master Servicer to perform any
of its obligations under Section 3.22 or Section 3.23, including without
limitation any failure by the Master Servicer to identify pursuant to Section
3.02(e) any Subcontractor that is a Servicing Function Participant. This
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Master Servicer.
The Trustee shall not be permitted to utilize Subcontractors for the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, unless the Trustee complies
with Section 3.02(e) as if the Trustee were a "Servicer" pursuant to that
Section.
Section 8.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 8.01:
(a) the Trustee may request and rely upon and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper
or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties and the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to
ascertain or confirm the genuineness of any signature of any such party or
parties;
(b) the Trustee may consult with counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and the advice of any such counsel, financial advisers or
accountants and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
(c) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the
discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(d) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into
the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or

appointed with due care by it hereunder;
(f) the Trustee shall not be required to risk or expend its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to it;
(g) the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss on any investment
of funds pursuant to this Agreement (other than as issuer of the investment
security);
(h) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Master
Servicer Event of Default or an Event of Default until a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof except as otherwise
provided in Section 7.01; and
(i) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
trusts, rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct
or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order
or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses
and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.
Section 8.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates shall be taken as the
statements of the Depositor and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their
correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or
related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer
or a Servicer of any funds paid to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator,
the Master Servicer or a Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited
in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer or a Servicer.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing or recording any
financing or continuation statement in any public office at any time or to
otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien
granted to it hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor
Master Servicer).
Section 8.04 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
with the same rights as it would have if it were not the Trustee.
Section 8.05 Trustee's Fees and Expenses and Indemnification. As
compensation for its activities under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be paid
its fee by the Securities Administrator from the Securities Administrator's own
funds pursuant to a separate fee schedule. The Trustee shall have no lien on the
Trust Fund for the payment of such fees. The Trustee and any director, officer,
employee, or agent of the Trustee shall be indemnified by the Trust Fund and
held harmless against any loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable
attorney's fees) resulting from any error in any tax or information return
prepared by the Master Servicer or incurred in connection with:
(a) any claim or legal action relating to this Agreement, or
(b) any claim or legal action relating to the Certificates or the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement; or
(c) except as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section 8.05,
the performance of any of the Trustee's duties under this Agreement,
other than any loss, liability, or expense with respect to the Trustee (i)
resulting from any breach of any Servicer's obligations in connection with this
Agreement for which the related Servicer has performed its obligation to
indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.05, (ii) incurred because of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of any of the Trustee's
duties under this Agreement, (iii) resulting from any breach of the Responsible
Party's obligations in connection with this Agreement for which the Responsible
Party has performed its obligation to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section
2.03(g) or (iv) resulting from any breach of the Master Servicer's obligations
hereunder for which the Master Servicer has performed its obligation to
indemnify the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive
the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee
under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed
upon in writing by the Depositor and the Trustee, and except for any expense,
disbursement, or advance arising from the Trustee's negligence, bad faith, or
willful misfeasance, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee, for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
in accordance with this Agreement with respect to:
(A) the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of its
counsel not associated with the closing of the issuance of the Certificates; and
(B) the reasonable compensation, expenses, and disbursements of any
accountant, engineer, or appraiser that is not regularly employed by the
Trustee, to the extent that the Trustee must engage them to perform services
under this Agreement.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or a
separate letter agreement between the Trustee and the Depositor, the Trustee
shall not be entitled to payment or reimbursement for any routine ongoing
expenses incurred by the Trustee in the ordinary course of its duties as Trustee
under this Agreement or for any other expenses incurred by the Trustee;
provided, however, no expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund hereunder if
it would not constitute an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within
the meaning of the REMIC Provisions.
Section 8.06 Eligibility Requirements for the Trustee. The Trustee
hereunder shall at all times be a corporation or association organized and doing
business under the laws of a state or the United States of America, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority and with a credit rating which would not cause any of
the Rating Agencies to reduce their respective then current ratings of the
Certificates (or having provided such security from time to time as is
sufficient to avoid such reduction) as evidenced in writing by each Rating
Agency. If such corporation or association publishes reports of condition at
least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.06
the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or association shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with this Section 8.06, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07. The
entity serving as Trustee may have normal banking and trust relationships with
the Depositor and its Affiliates or the Servicers and its Affiliates; provided,
however, that such entity cannot be an Affiliate of the Depositor or any
Servicer other than the Trustee in its role as successor to the Master Servicer.
Section 8.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee. The Trustee may
at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving
written notice of resignation to the Depositor, the Securities Administrator,
the Master Servicer, the Servicers and each Rating Agency not less than 60 days
before the date specified in such notice, when, subject to Section 8.08, such
resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor trustee in
accordance with Section 8.08 meeting the qualifications set forth in Section
8.06. If no successor trustee meeting such qualifications shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice or resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with Section 8.06 and shall fail to resign after written request thereto by the
Depositor, or if at any time the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or
shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of
its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with respect to
the Trust Fund by any state in which the Trustee or the Trust Fund is located
and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the appointment of a
different trustee, then the Depositor or each Servicer may remove the Trustee
and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy
of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, one copy to each Servicer and one
copy to the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or
their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which shall be
delivered by the successor Trustee to each Servicer, one complete set to the
Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. The
successor trustee shall notify each Rating Agency of any removal of the Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to this Section 8.07 shall become effective upon
acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08.
Section 8.08 Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor
and to its predecessor trustee and the Servicers an instrument accepting such
appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the
like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The Depositor, the
Servicers and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments
and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and
certainly vesting and confirming in the successor trustee all such rights,
powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 8.08 unless at the time of its acceptance, the successor trustee is
eligible under Section 8.06 and its appointment does not adversely affect the
then current rating of the Certificates.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
Section 8.09 Merger or Consolidation of the Trustee. Any corporation
into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder; provided, that such corporation shall be eligible under Section 8.06
without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of any
of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In
connection with the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person
(i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be
appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor
and the Securities Administrator of such succession or appointment and shall
furnish to the Depositor and the Securities Administrator in writing and in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Securities
Administrator, all information reasonably necessary for the Securities
Administrator to accurately and timely report, pursuant to Section 8.12(g), the
event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports
under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).
Section 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Fund or property securing any Mortgage Note may at the time be
located, the applicable 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 the
Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, such title to the Trust Fund or any part
thereof, whichever is applicable, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the
applicable Servicer and the Trustee may consider appropriate. If any Servicer
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by
such Servicer of a request to do so, or in the case an 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 and
no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
trustee shall be required under Section 8.08.
Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(a) To the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this
Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee, except for the obligation of the Trustee (as successor Master
Servicer, acting as successor servicer) under this Agreement to advance funds on
behalf of the Master Servicer, shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised
or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it
being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to
act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent
that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are
to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master
Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
(including the holding of title to the applicable Trust Fund or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by
such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(b) No trustee hereunder shall be held personally liable because of
any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder and such appointment shall
not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute any such separate trustee or
co-trustee as agent of the Trustee;
(c) The Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove
any separate trustee or co-trustee; and
(d) The Trust Fund, and not the Trustee, shall be liable for the
payment of reasonable compensation, reimbursement and indemnification to any
such separate trustee or co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the separate trustees and co-trustees, when
and 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 trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee and a copy thereof given to each
Servicer and the Depositor.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.
Section 8.11 Tax Matters. It is intended that the assets with
respect to which any REMIC election pertaining to the Trust Fund is to be made,
as set forth in the Preliminary Statement, shall constitute, and that the
conduct of matters relating to such assets shall be such as to qualify such
assets as, a "real estate mortgage investment conduit" as defined in and in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions. In furtherance of such intention, the
Securities Administrator covenants and agrees that it shall act as agent (and
the Securities Administrator is hereby appointed to act as agent) on behalf of
each Trust REMIC described in the Preliminary Statement and that in such
capacity it shall:
(a) prepare (and the Trustee shall sign) and file in a timely
manner, a U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return
(Form 1066 or any successor form adopted by the Internal Revenue Service) and
prepare (and the Trustee shall sign) and file with the Internal Revenue Service
and applicable state or local tax authorities income tax or information returns
for each taxable year with respect to each Trust REMIC described in the
Preliminary Statement containing such information and at the times and in the
manner as may be required by the Code or state or local tax laws, regulations,
or rules, and furnish to Certificateholders the schedules, statements or
information at such times and in such manner as may be required thereby;
(b) within thirty days of the Closing Date, apply for an employer
identification number from the Internal Revenue Service via Form SS-4 or any
other acceptable method for all tax entities and shall also furnish to the
Internal Revenue Service, on Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the
Code, the name, title, address, and telephone number of the person that the
Holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto,
together with such additional information as may be required by such Form, and
update such information at the time or times in the manner required by the Code;
(c) make an election that each of Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, Pooling-Tier
REMIC-2, the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Class X REMIC be
treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return for its first taxable year (and, if
necessary, under applicable state law);
(d) prepare and forward to the Certificateholders and to the
Internal Revenue Service and, if necessary, state tax authorities, all
information returns and reports as and when required to be provided to them in
accordance with the REMIC Provisions, including the calculation of any original
issue discount using the prepayment assumption (as described in the Prospectus
Supplement);
(e) provide information necessary for the computation of tax imposed
on the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted
Transferee (a "Non-Permitted Transferee"), or an agent (including a broker,
nominee or other middleman) of a Non-Permitted Transferee, or a pass-through
entity in which a Non-Permitted Transferee is the record holder of an interest
(the reasonable cost of computing and furnishing such information may be charged
to the Person liable for such tax);
(f) to the extent that they are under its control, conduct matters
relating to such assets at all times that any Certificates are Outstanding so as
to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions;
(g) not knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take
any action that would cause the termination of the REMIC status of any Trust
REMIC created hereunder;
(h) pay, from the sources specified in the second to last paragraph
of this Section 8.11, the amount of any federal or state tax, including
prohibited transaction taxes as described below, imposed on each Trust REMIC
before its termination when and as the same shall be due and payable (but such
obligation shall not prevent the Securities Administrator or any other
appropriate Person from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings and
shall not prevent the Securities Administrator from withholding payment of such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings);
(i) cause federal, state or local income tax or information returns
to be signed by the Securities Administrator or, if required by applicable tax
law, the Trustee or such other Person as may be required to sign such returns by
the Code or state or local laws, regulations or rules; and
(j) maintain records relating to each of the Trust REMICs, including
the income, expenses, assets, and liabilities thereof on a calendar year basis
and on the accrual method of accounting and the fair market value and adjusted
basis of the assets determined at such intervals as may be required by the Code,
as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or
information.
The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class RX
Certificates shall act as Tax Matters Person for the Class X REMIC, and the
holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class R Certificates shall act
as the Tax Matters Person for Pooling-Tier REMIC-2, the Lower-Tier REMIC and the
Upper-Tier REMIC, and the Holder of the largest Percentage Interest of the Class
RC Certificates shall act as Tax Matters Person for Pooling-Tier REMIC-1, in
each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d), and
the Securities Administrator is hereby designated as agent of such
Certificateholders for such purpose (or if the Securities Administrator is not
so permitted, such Holder shall be the Tax Matters Person in accordance with the
REMIC Provisions). In such capacity, the Securities Administrator shall, as and
when necessary and appropriate, represent any Trust REMIC in any administrative
or judicial proceedings relating to an examination or audit by any governmental
taxing authority, request an administrative adjustment as to any taxable year of
any Trust REMIC, enter into settlement agreements with any governmental taxing
agency, extend any statute of limitations relating to any tax item of any Trust
REMIC, and otherwise act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax
matter or controversy involving it.
The Securities Administrator shall treat the rights of the Class P
Certificateholders to receive Prepayment Premiums, the rights of the Class X
Certificateholders to receive amounts from the Excess Reserve Fund Account, the
Supplemental Interest Trust (subject to the obligation to pay Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts) and
the rights of the LIBOR Certificateholders to receive Basis Risk Carry Forward
Amounts and, without duplication, Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts as the
beneficial ownership of interests in a grantor trust and not as obligations of
any Trust REMIC created hereunder, for federal income tax purposes. The
Securities Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the Internal
Revenue Service Form 1041 or such other form as may be applicable and shall
furnish or cause to be furnished, to the Class P, Class X Certificateholders and
the LIBOR Certificateholders, the respective amounts described above that are
received, in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.
To enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under
this Agreement, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities Administrator
within ten days after the Closing Date all information or data that the
Securities Administrator requests in writing and determines to be relevant for
tax purposes to the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates,
including the price, yield, prepayment assumption, and projected cash flows of
the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans. Moreover, the Depositor shall provide
information to the Securities Administrator concerning the value, if any, to
each Class of LIBOR Certificates of the right to receive Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amounts from the Excess Reserve Fund Account and Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amounts or Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts from the Supplemental
Interest Trust. Thereafter, the Depositor shall provide to the Securities
Administrator promptly upon written request therefor any additional information
or data that the Securities Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably
request to enable the Securities Administrator to perform its duties under this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Depositor shall not be required to
provide any information regarding the Mortgage Loans after the Closing Date or
any information that the applicable Servicer is required to provide to the
Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Depositor hereby
indemnifies the Securities Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages,
claims, or expenses of the Securities Administrator arising from any errors or
miscalculations of the Securities Administrator that result from any failure of
the Depositor to provide, pursuant to this paragraph, accurate information or
data to the Securities Administrator on a timely basis.
None of the Servicers, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the
Securities Administrator shall (i) cause the creation of any interests in any
Trust REMIC other than the regular and residual interests set forth in the
Preliminary Statement, (ii) receive any amount representing a fee or other
compensation for services (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement) or
(iii) otherwise knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust Fund
to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action
reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set
forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the
case may be, could (i) endanger the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii)
result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or 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, or the tax on "net income from foreclosure
property") unless the Securities Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel
(at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails
to pay such expense, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at the
expense of the Securities Administrator) to the effect that the contemplated
action will not, with respect to the Trust Fund, result in the imposition of a
tax upon any Trust REMIC created hereunder or endanger the status of any Trust
REMIC.
If any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of any Trust
REMIC as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, on the "net income from
foreclosure property" of the Pooling-Tier REMIC-1 as defined in Section 860G(c)
of the Code, on any contribution to any Trust REMIC after the Start-up Day
pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, or any other tax is imposed, including,
if applicable, any minimum tax imposed on any Trust REMIC pursuant to Sections
23153 and 24874 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, if not paid as
otherwise provided for herein, the tax shall be paid by (i) the Trustee, the
Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator, respectively, if such tax
arises out of or results from negligence of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or
the Securities Administrator, as applicable, in the performance of any of its
obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the applicable Servicer, in the case of
any such minimum tax, and otherwise if such tax arises out of or results from a
breach by such Servicer of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (iii)
the Responsible Party if such tax arises out of or results from the Responsible
Party's obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 2.03 or
(iv) the Sponsor if such tax arises out of or results from the Sponsor's
obligation to repurchase a Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Representations and
Warranties Agreement, (v) in all other cases, or if the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the applicable Servicer, the Responsible
Party fails to honor its obligations under the preceding clause (i), (ii), (iii)
or (iv), any such tax will be paid with amounts otherwise to be distributed to
the Certificateholders, as provided in Section 4.02(a).
For as long as each Trust REMIC shall exist, the Securities
Administrator shall act in accordance with this Agreement and shall comply with
any directions of the Depositor or the applicable Servicer as provided herein so
as to assure such continuing treatment. The Securities Administrator shall not
(a) sell or permit the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans unless
pursuant to a repurchase or substitution in accordance with this Agreement, or
of any investment of deposits in an Account, and (b) accept any contribution to
any Trust REMIC after the Startup Day without receipt of a REMIC Opinion.
Section 8.12 Periodic Filings. (a) The Securities Administrator, the
Master Servicer and each Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor
in connection with the reporting requirements of the Trust under the Exchange
Act. The Securities Administrator shall prepare for execution by the Master
Servicer, on behalf of the Depositor, any Forms 8-K, 10-D and 10-K required by
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, in
order to permit the timely filing thereof pursuant to the terms of this Section
8.12, and the Securities Administrator shall file (via the Commission's
Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such Forms executed by the
Master Servicer, on behalf of the Depositor. The Securities Administrator shall
have no duty to verify information received by it from other Persons (other than
Subcontractors utilized by the Securities Administrator) in connection with its
duties under this Section 8.12.
(b) Within 15 calendar days after each Distribution Date (subject to
permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the Securities Administrator shall
prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 10-D required by the Exchange
Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. The Securities
Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related Monthly
Statement attached thereto. Any disclosure in addition to the Monthly Statement
that is required to be included on Form 10-D ("Additional Form 10-D Disclosure")
shall be prepared by the party responsible for preparing such disclosure as set
forth on Exhibit U hereto and the Securities Administrator shall compile such
disclosure pursuant to the following paragraph. The Depositor will approve, as
to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D. The Securities Administrator will
have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any
Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit U hereto, within 5 calendar days after the
related Distribution Date, certain parties to this Agreement shall be required
to provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent
known by such applicable parties, any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, if
applicable. The Securities Administrator shall compile all such information
provided to it in a Form 10-D prepared by it.
After preparing the Form 10-D, the Securities Administrator shall
forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for review
and verification by the Depositor. No later than 3 Business Days prior to the
15th calendar day after the related Distribution Date, an officer of the Master
Servicer, on behalf of the Depositor, 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 Securities Administrator. If a Form
10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be
amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in
Section 8.12(f)(ii). The signing party at the Master Servicer can be contacted
at the Master Servicer's address for notices set forth in Section
12.05(b)(2)(a), or such other address as to which the Master Servicer has
provided prior written notice to the Securities Administrator. The Depositor
acknowledges that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties
under this Section 8.12(b) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form
10-D is contingent upon each Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Master
Servicer, the Depositor and any other Person obligated to provide Additional
Form 10-D Disclosure as set forth on Exhibit U hereto observing all applicable
deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(b).
Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission,
the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet website a final
executed copy of each Form 10-D filed by the Securities Administrator. The
Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage,
or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare
and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results from the
Securities Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a
timely basis, any information from any party hereto (other than the Securities
Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities Administrator)
needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting
from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(c) 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"), commencing in March 2007, the Securities 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 Securities Administrator
within the applicable time frames set forth in this Agreement, (i) an annual
compliance statement for the applicable Servicer and each Subservicer engaged by
such Servicer, as described under Section 3.22, (ii)(A) the annual reports on
assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria for the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, the applicable Servicer, the Trustee (in its
capacity as custodian), each Subservicer engaged by such Servicer and each
Servicing Function Participant utilized by such Servicer, the Master Servicer or
the Securities Administrator, as described under Section 3.23 and (B) if any
such report on assessment of compliance with servicing criteria described under
Section 3.23 identifies any material instance of noncompliance, disclosure
identifying such instance of noncompliance, or such report on assessment of
compliance with servicing criteria described under Section 3.23 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, (iii)(A) the registered public
accounting firm attestation report for the Securities Administrator, the Master
Servicer, the applicable Servicer, the Trustee (in its capacity as custodian)
(if the Trust is subject to Exchange Act Reports for such fiscal year), each
Subservicer engaged by such Servicer and each Servicing Function Participant
utilized by such Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Securities Administrator,
as described under Section 3.23, and (B) if any registered public accounting
firm attestation report described under Section 3.23 identifies any material
instance of noncompliance, disclosure identifying such instance of
noncompliance, or if any such registered public accounting firm 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 certification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O, with such changes
as may be necessary or appropriate as a result of changes promulgated by the
Commission (the "Sarbanes Certification"), which shall be signed by the senior
officer of the Depositor in charge of securitization. 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 prepared by
party responsible for preparing such disclosure as set forth on Exhibit V
hereto, and the Securities Administrator shall compile such disclosure pursuant
to the following paragraph. 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. The Securities Administrator will have no
duty or liability for any failure hereunder to determine or prepare any
Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, except as set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit V hereto, no later than March 15th of each
year that the Trust is subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements,
commencing in 2007, certain parties to this Agreement shall be required to
provide to the Securities Administrator and the Depositor, to the extent known
by such applicable parties, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure, if applicable.
The Securities Administrator shall compile all such information provided to it
in a Form 10-K prepared by it.
After preparing the Form 10-K, the Securities Administrator shall
forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 10-K to the Depositor for review
and verification by the Depositor. No later than 5:00 p.m. EST on the 4th
Business Day prior to the 10-K Filing Deadline, an officer of the Master
Servicer, on behalf of the Depositor, 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 Securities Administrator. If a Form
10-K cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-K needs to be
amended, the Securities Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in
Section 8.12(f)(ii). The signing party at the Master Servicer can be contacted
at the Master Servicer's address for notices set forth in Section
12.05(b)(2)(a), or such other address as to which the Master Servicer has
provided prior written notice to the Securities Administrator. The Depositor
acknowledges that the performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties
under this Section 8.12(c) related to the timely preparation and filing of Form
10-K is contingent upon each Servicer (and any Subservicer or Servicing Function
Participant engaged by a Servicer) and the Depositor and any other Person
obligated to provide Additional Form 10-K Disclosure as set forth on Exhibit V
hereto, observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties
under this Section 8.12(c), Section 8.12(d), Section 3.22 and Section 3.23.
Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission,
the Securities Administrator will make available on its internet website a final
executed copy of each Form 10-K filed by the Securities Administrator. The
Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage
or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare
and/or timely file such Form 10-K, where such failure results from the
Securities Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a
timely basis, any information from any party hereto (other than the Securities
Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities Administrator)
needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-K, not resulting
from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(d) In connection with the execution of a Sarbanes Certification,
the Securities Administrator shall sign a certification (in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit P, with such changes as may be necessary or appropriate as a
result of changes promulgated by the Commission) for the benefit of the
Depositor and its officers, directors and Affiliates, each Servicer shall sign a
certification solely with respect to such Servicer (in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit Q-1, with such changes as may be necessary as a result of changes
promulgated by the Commission) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Securities
Administrator and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates and the
applicable Subservicer shall sign a certification solely with respect to such
Subservicer (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q-2, with such changes as
may be necessary or appropriate as a result of changes promulgated by the
Commission) for the benefit of the Depositor, the Securities Administrator and
their respective officers, directors and Affiliates and the Master Servicer
shall sign a certification solely with respect to the Master Servicer (in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit Q-3, with such changes as may be necessary as a
result of changes promulgated by the Commission) for the benefit of the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator and their respective officers, directors
and Affiliates. Each such certification shall be delivered to the Depositor no
later than March 15th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the
immediately preceding Business Day) and the Depositor shall deliver the Sarbanes
Certification no later than the time set forth for the delivery to the
Securities Administrator of the signed Form 10-K pursuant to Section 8.12(d) for
such year. In the event that prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K in March
of each year, the Securities Administrator or the applicable Servicer has actual
knowledge of information material to the Sarbanes Certification, that party
shall promptly notify the Depositor and each of the other parties signing the
certifications. In addition, (i) the Securities Administrator shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Depositor, the Servicers and the Sponsor and their
officers, directors, employees, agents 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 any breach of the Securities Administrator's obligations under this
Section 8.12(d) or any material misstatement or material omission contained in
any information, report, certification or other material provided in written or
electronic form pursuant to Section 3.23 and 8.12 of this Agreement and Exhibits
U, V and W to this Agreement provided by or on behalf of the Securities
Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities Administrator
(excluding any information, report, certification or other materials provided in
written or electronic form by or on behalf of any Person other than the
Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities
Administrator) or negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith, and (ii) each Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Depositor, the Sponsor, the Securities Administrator and their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents 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 any breach of such Servicer's obligations under this Section 8.12(d)
or any material misstatement, omission, negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of such Servicer in connection therewith. If the indemnification
provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any
indemnified party, then (i) the Securities Administrator agrees in connection
with a breach of the Securities Administrator's obligations under this Section
8.12(d) or any material misstatement or material omission contained in any
information, report, certification or other material provided in written or
electronic form pursuant to Section 3.23 and 8.12 of this Agreement and Exhibits
U, V and W to this Agreement provided by or on behalf of the Securities
Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities Administrator
(excluding any information, report, certification or other materials provided in
written or electronic form by or on behalf of any Person other than the
Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities
Administrator) or negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
Depositor and the Sponsor as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities of the Depositor and the Sponsor in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Depositor and the Sponsor on
the one hand and the Securities Administrator on the other and (ii) the
applicable Servicer agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities of such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of such indemnified party, on the one hand, and the
such Servicer, on the other hand, in connection with a breach of the such
Servicer's obligations under this Section 8.12(d) or any material misstatement
or omission, negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Servicer in
connection therewith. The obligations of the Securities Administrator and each
Servicer under this Section 8.12(d) shall apply to the Securities Administrator
and each Servicer that serviced a Mortgage Loan during the applicable period,
whether or not such Securities Administrator or Servicer, as applicable, is
acting as Securities Administrator or Servicer, as applicable, at the time such
certification is required to be delivered. The indemnification and contribution
obligations set forth in this Section 8.12(d) shall survive the termination of
this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Securities
Administrator or the applicable Servicer, as applicable.
(e) Upon any filing with the Commission, the Securities
Administrator shall promptly deliver to the Depositor a copy of each such
executed report, statement or information.
(f) (i) The obligations set forth in paragraphs (a) through (d) of
this Section shall only apply with respect to periods for which reports are
required to be filed with respect to the Trust under the Exchange Act. Prior to
January 30 of the first year in which the Securities Administrator is able to do
so under applicable law, the Securities Administrator shall prepare and file a
Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust, with a copy to the
Depositor. At any time after the filing of a Form 15 Suspension Notification, if
the number of Holders of the Offered Certificates of record exceeds the number
set forth in Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or the regulations promulgated
pursuant thereto which would cause the Trust to again become subject to the
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Securities Administrator shall
recommence preparing and filing reports on Form 10-K, 10-D and 8-K as required
pursuant to this Section 8.12 and the parties hereto shall again have the
obligations set forth in this Section.
(ii) In the event that the Securities 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 pursuant to 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,
the Securities Administrator will immediately notify the Depositor and the
Servicers. In the case of Form 10-D and 10-K, the Depositor, the Servicers
and the Securities Administrator will thereupon cooperate to prepare a
Form 12b-25 and a 10-DA and 10-KA as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25
of the Exchange Act and the Securities Administrator shall file in
accordance with this Agreement. In the case of Form 8-K, the Securities
Administrator will, upon receipt of all disclosure information required to
be included on Form 8-K, 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, the party to this Agreement deciding that an
amendment to such Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K is required will notify the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator and the Servicers 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 an officer of the Depositor. The Depositor acknowledges that the
performance by the Securities Administrator of its duties under this
Section 8.12(f) related to the timely preparation 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 Servicers and the Depositor observing all applicable deadlines in the
performance of their duties under this Section 8.12 and Sections 3.22 and
3.23. The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any loss,
expense, damage or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to
properly prepare and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any
amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, where such failure results from the
Securities Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a
timely basis, any information from any party hereto (other than the
Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities
Administrator) needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form
15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, 10-D or 10-K, not
resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(g) Within four (4) Business Days after the occurrence of an event
requiring disclosure on Form 8-K (each such event, a "Reportable Event"), and
also if requested by the Depositor, the Securities Administrator shall prepare
and file 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 prepared by the party responsible for
preparing such disclosure as set forth on Exhibit W hereto and compiled by the
Securities Administrator pursuant to the following paragraph. The Depositor will
approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the
inclusion of the Additional Form 8-K Disclosure on Form 8-K. The Securities
Administrator will have no duty or liability for any failure hereunder to
determine or prepare any Form 8-K Disclosure Information or any Form 8-K, except
as set forth in the next paragraph.
As set forth on Exhibit W hereto, for so long as the Trust is
subject to the Exchange Act reporting requirements, no later than noon (Eastern
time) on the 2nd Business Day after the occurrence of a Reportable Event,
certain parties to this Agreement shall be required to provide to the Depositor
and the Securities Administrator, to the extent known by such applicable
parties, any Form 8-K Disclosure Information, if applicable. The Securities
Administrator shall compile all such information provided to it in a Form 8-K
prepared by it.
After preparing the Form 8-K, the Securities Administrator shall
forward electronically a draft copy of the Form 8-K to the Depositor for review
and verification by the Depositor. No later than the end of the 4th Business Day
after the Reportable Event, an officer of the Master Servicer, on behalf of the
Depositor, 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 Securities Administrator. If a Form 8-K cannot be filed on time or
if a previously filed Form 8-K needs to be amended, the Securities Administrator
will follow the procedures set forth in Section 8.12(f)(ii). The signing party
at the Master Servicer can be contacted at the Master Servicer's address for
notices set forth in Section 12.05(b)(2)(a), or such other address as to which
the Master Servicer has provided prior written notice to the Securities
Administrator. The Depositor acknowledges that the performance by the Securities
Administrator of its duties under this Section 8.12(g) related to the timely
preparation and filing of Form 8-K is contingent upon each Servicer, the
Depositor and any other Person obligated to provide Form 8-K Disclosure
Information as set forth on Exhibit W hereto, observing all applicable deadlines
in the performance of their duties under this Section 8.12(g). Promptly (but no
later than one Business Day) after filing with the Commission, the Securities
Administrator will make available on its internet website a final executed copy
of each Form 8-K filed by the Securities Administrator. The Securities
Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage or claim
arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare and/or timely
file such Form 8-K, where such failure results from the Securities
Administrator's inability or failure to obtain or receive, on a timely basis,
any information from any party hereto (other than the Securities Administrator
or any Subcontractor utilized by the Securities Administrator) needed to
prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 8-K, not resulting from its own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
(h) The Securities Administrator shall have no liability for any
loss, expense, damage or claim arising out of or resulting from (i) the accuracy
or inaccuracy of any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, Additional Form 10-K
Disclosure or Form 8-K Disclosure Information (excluding any information therein
provided by the Securities Administrator or any Subcontractor utilized by the
Securities Administrator) provided to the Securities Administrator in connection
with the preparation of Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K pursuant to this Section 8.12,
or (ii) the failure of the Depositor to timely execute and return for filing any
Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K required to be filed by the Securities Administrator
pursuant to this Section 8.12, in either case, not resulting from the Securities
Administrator's own negligence, bad faith or misconduct.
Section 8.13 Tax Treatment of Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts,
Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts, the Supplemental Interest Trust and the
Interest Rate Swap Agreement. The Securities Administrator shall treat the
rights that each Class of LIBOR Certificates has to receive payments of
Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, to the extent not paid from the Excess
Reserve Fund Account, Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts from the Supplemental
Interest Trust (together with Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts from the Excess
Reserve Fund Account) as rights to receive payments under a limited recourse
interest rate cap contract written by the Class X Certificateholders in favor of
each such Class. Accordingly, each Class of Certificates (excluding the Class X,
Class P and the Residual Certificates) will be comprised of two components - an
Upper-Tier Regular Interest and an interest in an interest rate cap contract,
and the Class X Certificate will be comprised of four components - two Class X
REMIC Regular Interests (the Class X Interest and the Class IO Interest),
ownership of the Excess Reserve Fund Account, subject to an obligation to pay
Basis Risk Carry Forward Amounts and ownership of the Supplemental Interest
Trust (including the Interest Rate Swap Agreement), subject to the obligation to
pay Upper-Tier Carry Forward Amounts and, without duplication, Basis Risk Carry
Forward Amounts. The Securities Administrator shall allocate the issue price for
a Class of LIBOR Certificates among the respective components for purposes of
determining the issue price of the Upper-Tier Regular Interest component based
on information received from the Depositor. Unless otherwise advised by the
Depositor in writing, for federal income tax purposes, the Securities
Administrator is hereby directed to assign a value of zero to the right of each
Holder of a LIBOR Certificate to receive the related Upper-Tier Carry Forward
Amounts and, without duplication, the related Basis Risk Carry Forward Amount
for purposes of allocating the purchase price of an initial LIBOR
Certificateholder between such rights and the related Upper-Tier Regular
Interest.
Holders of LIBOR Certificates shall also be treated as having agreed
to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holders of the Class X Certificates an
aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) Net Swap Payments and Swap
Termination Payments (other than Defaulted Swap Termination Payments) over (ii)
the sum of amounts payable on the Class X Interest available for such payments
and amounts payable on the Class IO Interest (such excess, a "Class IO
Shortfall"), first from interest and then from principal distributable on the
LIBOR Certificates. A Class IO Shortfall payable from interest collections shall
be allocated pro rata among such LIBOR Certificates based on the amount of
interest otherwise payable to such Class of LIBOR Certificates, and a Class IO
Shortfall payable from principal collections shall be allocated in reverse
sequential order beginning with the most subordinate Class of LIBOR Certificates
then Outstanding.
Any payments of Class IO Shortfalls shall be treated for tax
purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Class of LIBOR
Certificates in respect of the corresponding Upper-Tier Regular Interest and as
having been paid by such Holders to the Holders of the Class X Certificates
through the Supplemental Interest Trust.
ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATION OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS BY THE MASTER SERVICER
Section 9.01 Duties of the Master Servicer; Enforcement of
Servicer's Obligations. (a) The Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, the
Securities Administrator, the Depositor and the Certificateholders, shall
monitor the performance of each Servicer's obligations under this Agreement, and
(except as set forth below) shall use its reasonable good faith efforts to cause
such Servicer to duly and punctually perform its duties and obligations
hereunder. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a Responsible
Officer of the Master Servicer has actual knowledge, the Master Servicer shall
promptly notify the Securities Administrator and the Trustee and shall specify
in such notice the action, if any, the Master Servicer plans to take in respect
of such default. So long as an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
the Master Servicer shall take the actions specified in Article VII.
If (i) a Servicer reports a delinquency on a monthly report and (ii)
such Servicer, by 11 a.m. (New York Time) on the related Remittance Date,
neither makes an Advance nor provides the Securities Administrator and the
Master Servicer with an Officer's Certificate certifying that such an Advance
would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, then
the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Distribution Account not later than the
Business Day immediately preceding the related Distribution Date an Advance in
an amount equal to the difference between (x) with respect to each Monthly
Payment due on a Mortgage Loan that is delinquent (other than Relief Act
Interest Shortfalls) and for which the related Servicer was required to make an
Advance pursuant to this Agreement and (y) amounts deposited in the Collection
Account to be used for Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loan, except to
the extent the Master Servicer determines any such Advance to be a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Subject to the
foregoing and Section 7.02, the Master Servicer shall continue to make such
Advances for so long as the related Servicer is required to do so under this
Agreement. If applicable, on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to
the Trustee stating that the Master Servicer elects not to make an Advance in a
stated amount and detailing the reason(s) it deems the Advance to be a
Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Any amounts
deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be net of
the Servicing Fee for the related Mortgage Loans.
(b) The Master Servicer shall pay the costs of monitoring the
Servicers as required hereunder (including costs associated with (i) termination
of any Servicer, (ii) the appointment of a successor servicer or (iii) the
transfer to and assumption of, the servicing by the Master Servicer) and shall,
to the extent permitted hereunder, seek reimbursement therefor initially from
the terminated Servicer. In the event the full costs associated with the
transition of servicing responsibilities to the Master Servicer are not paid for
by the predecessor or successor Servicer (provided such successor Servicer is
not the Master Servicer), the Master Servicer may be reimbursed therefor by the
Trust for out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Master Servicer associated with
any such transfer of servicing duties from the Servicer to the Master Servicer
or any other successor servicer.
(c) If the Master Servicer assumes the servicing with respect to any
of the Mortgage Loans, it will not assume liability for the representations and
warranties of any Servicer it replaces or for any errors or omissions of such
Servicer.
(d) Neither the Depositor nor the Securities Administrator shall
consent to the assignment by any Servicer of such Servicer's rights and
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Master
Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Section 9.02 Maintenance of Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions
Insurance. The Master Servicer, at its expense, shall maintain in effect a
blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, affording
coverage with respect to all directors, officers, directors, employees and other
Persons acting on such Master Servicer's behalf, and covering errors and
omissions in the performance of the Master Servicer's obligations hereunder. The
errors and omissions insurance policy and the fidelity bond shall be in such
form and amount generally acceptable for entities serving as master servicers or
trustees.
Section 9.03 Representations and Warranties of the Master Servicer.
(a) The Master Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Servicers, the
Depositor, the Responsible Party, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee,
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date that:
(i) it is a national banking association validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the United States of America, and as

with its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, the execution,
delivery and performance of which have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Master Servicer;
(ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Master
Servicer and its performance and compliance with the terms of this
Agreement will not (A) violate the Master Servicer's charter or bylaws,

notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or
result in the breach of, any material contract, agreement or other
instrument to which the Master Servicer is a party or by which it is bound
or to which any of its assets are subject, which violation, default or
breach would materially and adversely affect the Master Servicer's ability
to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(iii) this Agreement constitutes, assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery hereof by the other respective parties hereto, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Master Servicer, enforceable
against it in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforcement
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and
other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general, and
by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);
(iv) the Master Servicer is not in default with respect to any
order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of any federal,
state, municipal or governmental agency to the extent that any such
default would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder;
(v) the Master Servicer is not a party to or bound by any
agreement or instrument or subject to any charter provision, bylaw or any
other corporate restriction or any judgment, order, writ, injunction,
decree, law or regulation that may materially and adversely affect its
ability as Master Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement
or that requires the consent of any third person to the execution of this
Agreement or the performance by the Master Servicer of its obligations
under this Agreement;
(vi) no litigation is pending or, to the best of the Master
Servicer's knowledge, threatened against the Master Servicer which would
prohibit its entering into this Agreement or performing its obligations
under this Agreement;
(vii) [Reserved];
(viii) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court
or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and
performance by the Master Servicer of or compliance by the Master Servicer
with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations and
orders (if any) as have been obtained; and
(ix) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are in the ordinary course of business of the Master Servicer.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section shall survive the execution and delivery of
this Agreement. The Master Servicer shall indemnify the Servicers, the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Responsible Party, the Trustee and
the Trust and hold them harmless against any loss, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other
reasonable costs and expenses resulting from any claim, demand, defense or
assertion based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a material breach of the
Master Servicer's representations and warranties contained in Section 9.03(a)
above. It is understood and agreed that the enforcement of the obligation of the
Master Servicer set forth in this Section 9.03 to indemnify the Servicers, the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Responsible Party, the Trustee and
the Trust constitutes the sole remedy of the Servicers, the Depositor, the
Securities Administrator, the Responsible Party, the Trustee and the Trust,
respecting a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties. Such
indemnification shall survive any termination of the Master Servicer as Master
Servicer hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.
Any cause of action against the Master Servicer relating to or
arising out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in this
Section shall accrue upon discovery of such breach by either the Servicers,
Depositor, the Master Servicer, Securities Administrator, the Responsible Party
or the Trustee or notice thereof by any one of such parties to the other
parties.
Section 9.04 Master Servicer Events of Default. Each of the
following shall constitute a "Master Servicer Event of Default":

written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by any other party hereto;

notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and Trustee by
the holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights;
provided that the thirty (30) day cure period shall not apply so long as the
Depositor is required to file any Forms 8-K, 10-D and 10-K required by the
Exchange Act with respect to the Trust Fund, the failure to comply with the
requirements set forth in Section 8.12, for which the grace period shall not

and such decree or order shall have remained in force, undischarged or unstayed
for a period of sixty (60) days;
(d) the Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a

substantially all of its property;
(e) the Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay

(f) except as otherwise set forth herein, the Master Servicer

the Securities Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor; or
(g) the indictment of the Master Servicer for the taking of any
action by the Master Servicer, any Affiliate or any director or employee thereof

obligations under this Agreement, in each case, where such indictment materially
and adversely affects the ability of the Master Servicer to perform its
obligations under this Agreement (subject to the condition that such indictment
is not dismissed within ninety (90) days).
In each and every such case, so long as a Master Servicer Event of
Default shall not have been remedied, in addition to whatever rights the Trustee
may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific
performance, the Trustee, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer, may, and
upon the request of the Holders of Certificates representing at least 51% of the
Voting Rights shall, terminate with cause all the rights and obligations of the
Master Servicer under this Agreement.
Upon receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all
authority and power of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, shall pass to
and be vested in any successor master servicer appointed hereunder which accepts
such appointments. Upon written request from the Trustee or the Depositor, the
Master Servicer shall prepare, execute and deliver to the successor entity
designated by the Trustee any and all documents and other instruments related to
the performance of its duties hereunder as the Master Servicer and, place in
such successor's possession all such documents with respect to the master
servicing of the Mortgage Loans and do or cause to be done all other acts or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, at the Master Servicer's sole expense. The Master Servicer shall
cooperate with the Trustee and such successor master servicer in effecting the
termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder,
including without limitation, the transfer to such successor master servicer for
administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited to
the Distribution Account or are thereafter received with respect to the Mortgage
Loans.
All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the
Trustee in connection with the transfer of servicing from a terminated Master
Servicer, including, without limitation, any such costs or expenses associated
with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction
or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Trustee to
correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to
enable the Trustee (or any other successor Master Servicer appointed pursuant to
Section 9.06) to master service shall be paid by the terminated Master Servicer;
provided, however, that to the extent not previously reimbursed by the
terminated Master Servicer, such fees and expenses shall be payable to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 8.05.
Upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer Event of Default, the
Trustee shall provide the Depositor in writing and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information reasonably requested
by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item
6.02 of Form 8-K with respect to a successor master servicer in the event the
Trustee should succeed to the duties of the Master Servicer as set forth herein.
Section 9.05 Waiver of Default. By a written notice, the Trustee may
with the consent of a Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 51% of the
Voting Rights waive any default by the Master Servicer in the performance of its
obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any waiver of a past default,
such default shall cease to exist, and any Master Servicer Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of
this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default
or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 9.06 Successor to the Master Servicer. Upon termination of
the Master Servicer's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement, the
Trustee shall appoint or may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor, which shall succeed to all rights and assume all
of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Master Servicer under
this Agreement prior to the termination of the Master Servicer. Any successor
shall be a Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac approved servicer in good standing and
acceptable to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master
Servicing Fee paid to such successor master servicer exceed that paid to the
Master Servicer hereunder. In the event that the Master Servicer's duties,
responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement are terminated, the Master
Servicer shall continue to discharge its duties and responsibilities hereunder
until the effective date of such termination with the same degree of diligence
and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement and shall
take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights of its
successor. The termination of the Master Servicer shall not become effective
until a successor shall be appointed pursuant hereto and shall in no event (i)
relieve the Master Servicer of responsibility for the representations and
warranties made pursuant to Section 9.03(a) hereof and the remedies available to
the Trustee under Section 9.03(b) hereof, it being understood and agreed that
the provisions of Section 9.03 hereof shall be applicable to the Master Servicer
notwithstanding any such sale, assignment, resignation or termination of the
Master Servicer or the termination of this Agreement; or (ii) affect the right
of the Master Servicer to receive payment and/or reimbursement of any amounts
accruing to it hereunder prior to the date of termination (or during any
transition period in which the Master Servicer continues to perform its duties
hereunder prior to the date the successor master servicer fully assumes its
duties).
If no successor Master Servicer has accepted its appointment within
90 days of the time the Trustee receives the resignation of the Master Servicer,
the Trustee shall be the successor Master Servicer in all respects under this
Agreement and shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto, including the
obligation to make Advances; provided, however, that any failure to perform any
duties or responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's failure to provide
information required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the
Trustee hereunder. In the Trustee's capacity as such successor, the Trustee
shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master
Servicer. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive the
compensation, reimbursement and indemnities otherwise payable to the Master
Servicer, including the fees and other amounts payable pursuant to Section 9.07
hereof.
Any successor master servicer appointed as provided herein, shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master Servicer and to the Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, wherein the successor shall make the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 9.03 hereof, and whereupon
such successor shall become fully vested with all of the rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Master Servicer, with like
effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement. Any termination or
resignation of the Master Servicer or termination of this Agreement shall not
affect any claims that the Trustee may have against the Master Servicer arising
out of the Master Servicer's actions or failure to act prior to any such
termination or resignation or in connection with the Trustee's assumption as
successor master servicer of such obligations, duties and responsibilities.
Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Master
Servicer shall notify by mail the Trustee of such appointment.
Section 9.07 Compensation of the Master Servicer. As compensation
for its activities under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall be paid the
Master Servicing Fee.
Section 9.08 Merger or Consolidation. Any Person into which the
Master Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any
merger, conversion, other change in form or consolidation to which the Master
Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Master Servicer, shall be the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding;
provided, however, that the successor or resulting Person to the Master Servicer
shall (i) be a Person (or have an Affiliate) that is qualified and approved to
service mortgage loans for Xxxxxx Xxx and Xxxxxxx Mac (provided further that a
successor Master Servicer that satisfies subclause (i) through an Affiliate
agrees to service the Mortgage Loans in accordance with all applicable Xxxxxx
Mae and Xxxxxxx Mac guidelines) and (ii) have a net worth of not less than
$25,000,000.
Section 9.09 Resignation of the Master Servicer. Except as otherwise
provided in Sections 9.08 and 9.10 hereof, the Master Servicer shall not resign
from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it unless the Master
Servicer's duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or
are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities
carried on by it and cannot be cured. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Master Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel
that shall be independent to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such
resignation shall become effective until the Trustee shall have assumed, or a
successor master servicer satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor shall
have assumed, the Master Servicer's responsibilities and obligations under this
Agreement. Notice of such resignation shall be given promptly by the Master
Servicer and the Depositor to the Trustee.
If at any time, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as Master Servicer, resigns
under this Section 9.09, or is removed as Master Servicer pursuant to Section
9.04, then at such time Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. shall also resign (and shall be
entitled to resign) as Securities Administrator under this Agreement.
Section 9.10 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Master
Servicer. Except as expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall not
assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any
other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any
other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Master Servicer; provided, however, that the Master Servicer
shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Depositor (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and upon delivery to the Trustee
and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency to the effect that such
action shall not result in a downgrade of the ratings assigned to any of the
Certificates, to delegate or assign to or subcontract with or authorize or
appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out any duties, covenants or
obligations to be performed and carried out by the Master Servicer hereunder.
Notice of such permitted assignment shall be given promptly by the Master
Servicer to the Depositor and the Trustee. If, pursuant to any provision hereof,
the duties of the Master Servicer are transferred to a successor master
servicer, the entire compensation payable to the Master Servicer pursuant hereto
shall thereafter be payable to such successor master servicer but in no event
shall the fee payable to the successor master servicer exceed that payable to
the predecessor master servicer.
Section 9.11 Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer. Neither
the Master Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of
the Master Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trustee, the Securities
Administrator, the Servicers 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 Master Servicer or any such person against any liability
that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard
for its obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Master Servicer and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer may rely in good
faith on any document prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person
respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer shall be under no
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not
incidental to its duties as Master Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans
under this Agreement and that in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or
liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may in its sole
discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary or desirable in
respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and
the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal
expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom, shall
be liabilities of the Trust, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor out of the Distribution Account in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9.07 and Section 9.12.
The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of
the Servicer except to the extent that damages or expenses are incurred as a
result of such act or omissions and such damages and expenses would not have
been incurred but for the negligence, willful malfeasance, bad faith or
recklessness of the Master Servicer in supervising, monitoring and overseeing
the performance of the obligations of the Servicers as required under this
Agreement.
Section 9.12 Indemnification; Third Party Claims. The Master
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Servicers, Depositor, the Sponsor, the
Securities Administrator, the Responsible Party, the Trustee and the Trust, and
hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs,
liability, fees and expenses that the Servicers, Depositor, the Sponsor, the
Securities Administrator, the Responsible Party, the Trustee or the Trust may
sustain as a result of the Master Servicer's willful malfeasance, bad faith or
negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its
reckless disregard for its obligations and duties under this Agreement,
including any failure by the Master Servicer or any Subcontractor utilized by
such Master Servicer to deliver any information, report, certification or
accountants' letter when and as required under Sections 3.22, 3.23 or 8.12,
including without limitation any failure by the Master Servicer to identify any
Subcontractor "participating in the servicing function" within the meaning of
Item 1122 of Regulation AB. The Depositor, the Sponsor, the Securities
Administrator, each Servicer, the Responsible Party and the Trustee shall
immediately notify the Master Servicer if a claim is made by a third party with
respect to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loans which would entitle the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator, each Servicer, the Responsible Party,
the Trustee or the Trust to indemnification under this Section 9.12, whereupon
the Master Servicer shall assume the defense of any such claim and pay all
expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay,
discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or
them in respect of such claim.
The Master Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Trustee from and against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs,
liability, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that the
Trustee may sustain as a result of such liability or obligations of the Master
Servicer and in connection with the Trustee's assumption as successor master
servicer (not including the Trustee's performance, except to the extent that
costs or liability of the Trustee are created or increased as a result of
negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to its
replacement as Master Servicer) of the Master Servicer's obligations, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement.
The Trust will indemnify the Master Servicer and hold it harmless
against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees
and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and
expenses that the Master Servicer may incur or sustain in connection with,
arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Certificates, except to the
extent that any such loss, liability or expense is related to (i) a material
breach of the Master Servicer's representations and warranties in this
Agreement, (ii) resulting from any breach of the applicable Servicer's
obligations in connection with this Agreement for which such Servicer has
performed its obligation to indemnify the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.05,
(iii) resulting from any breach of the Responsible Party's obligations in
connection with the Purchase Agreement, for which the Responsible Party has
performed its obligation to indemnify the Master Servicer pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, or (iv) the Master Servicer's willful malfeasance, bad faith
or negligence or by reason of its reckless disregard of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement; provided that any such loss, liability or
expense constitutes an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). The Master Servicer
shall be entitled to reimbursement for any such indemnified amount from funds on
deposit in the Distribution Account.

Agreement; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator shall not be

shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement,
the Securities Administrator shall not be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth

Administrator 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 Securities Administrator and conforming to
the requirements of this Agreement which it believed in good faith to be
genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities
respecting any matters arising hereunder;
(ii) the Securities Administrator shall not be liable for an
error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or
Responsible Officers of the Securities Administrator, unless it shall be
conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
determination no longer subject to appeal, that the Securities
Administrator was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii) the Securities Administrator shall not be liable with
respect to any action or inaction taken, suffered or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of Holders of

Section. The Securities Administrator shall indemnify the Depositor, the Sponsor
and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Depositor or the Sponsor and
hold them harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties,
fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs,
judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain
in any way related to the failure of the Securities Administrator to perform any
of its obligations under Section 3.22 or Section 3.23, including without
limitation any failure by the Securities Administrator to identify pursuant to
Section 3.02(e) any Subcontractor that is a Servicing Function Participant. This
indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Securities Administrator.
Section 10.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Securities
Administrator. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.01:
(i) the Securities Administrator may request and conclusively
rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting

consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless

less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of
Certificates; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable
time to the Securities Administrator of the costs, expenses or liabilities
likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Securities Administrator, not reasonably assured to the
Securities Administrator by the security afforded to it by the terms of
this Agreement, the Securities Administrator may require reasonable
indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to so
proceeding. Nothing in this clause (iv) shall derogate from the obligation
of the Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors, provided that the

Agreement;
(v) the Securities Administrator may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or

Securities Administrator with due care;
(vi) the Securities Administrator shall not be required to risk
or expend its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the

or powers hereunder if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that

liability is not assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in
this Agreement shall in any event require the Securities Administrator to
perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the
obligations of any Servicer under this Agreement;

Administrator against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby; and
(viii) the Securities Administrator shall have no obligation to
appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that is not incidental to
its duties hereunder and which in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that the Securities Administrator
may in its discretion undertake any such action that it may deem necessary
or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Trustee and the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action and
any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities
of the Trust Fund, and the Securities Administrator shall be entitled to
be reimbursed therefor out of the Collection Account.
The Securities Administrator shall have no duty (A) to see to any
recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to

of the Certificates or of any Mortgage Loan or related document other than with
respect to the Securities Administrator's execution and authentication of the

or application by the Depositor or any Servicer of any funds paid to the
Depositor or any Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans or deposited in or
withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Depositor or any Servicer.
The Securities Administrator shall execute the Interest Rate Swap
Agreement and the Certificates not in its individual capacity but solely as

exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it by this
Agreement. Each of the undertakings and agreements made on the part of the

undertaking or agreement by the Securities Administrator but is made and
intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust Fund.
Section 10.04 Securities Administrator May Own Certificates. The

willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of any of the
Securities Administrator's duties hereunder, (ii) incurred in connection with
the performance of any of the Securities Administrator's duties hereunder or
under such other agreements, other than any loss, liability or expense incurred
by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of
any of the Securities Administrator's duties hereunder or (iii) incurred by
reason of any action of the Securities Administrator taken at the direction of
the Certificateholders, provided that any such loss, liability or expense
constitutes an "unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC" within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii). Such indemnity shall survive
the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the
Securities Administrator hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, and except
for any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from the Securities
Administrator's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, or which would not
be an "unanticipated expense" within the meaning of the second preceding
sentence, the Securities Administrator shall be reimbursed by the Trust for all

Administrator in accordance with Section 10.07. The Trustee shall notify the
Rating Agencies of any change of Securities Administrator.
Section 10.07 Resignation and Removal of Securities Administrator.
The Securities Administrator may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Depositor and the Trustee and each Rating Agency not less
than 60 days before the date specified in such notice when, subject to Section
10.08, such resignation is to take effect, and acceptance by a successor
Securities Administrator in accordance with Section 10.08 meeting the
qualifications set forth in Section 10.06. If no successor Securities
Administrator meeting such qualifications shall have been so appointed by the
Depositor and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Securities Administrator may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Securities
Administrator.
If at any time the Securities Administrator shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof and shall
fail to resign after written request thereto by the Depositor, or if at any time
the Securities Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be
adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Securities Administrator
or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge
or control of the Securities Administrator or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or a tax is imposed with
respect to the Trust Fund by any state in which the Securities Administrator or
the Trust Fund is located and the imposition of such tax would be avoided by the
appointment of a different Securities Administrator, then the Depositor may
remove the Securities Administrator and appoint a successor Securities
Administrator by written instrument, in triplicate, one copy of which instrument
shall be delivered to the Securities Administrator so removed, one copy of which
shall be delivered to the Master Servicer and one copy to the successor
Securities Administrator.
The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting
Rights may at any time remove the Securities Administrator and appoint a
successor Securities Administrator by written instrument or instruments, in
triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys in fact duly authorized,
one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered by the successor
Securities Administrator to the Trustee, one complete set to the Securities
Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
Notice of any removal of the Securities Administrator shall be given to each
Rating Agency by the successor Securities Administrator.
Any resignation or removal of the Securities Administrator and
appointment of a successor Securities Administrator pursuant to any of the
provisions of this Section 10.07 shall become effective upon acceptance by the
successor Securities Administrator of appointment as provided in Section 10.08
hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Securities
Administrator resigns pursuant to Section 10.07, the Trustee shall be authorized
to appoint, with the Depositor's consent, a successor Securities Administrator
concurrently with the appointment of a successor Master Servicer.
Section 10.08 Successor Securities Administrator. Any successor
Securities Administrator (which may be the Trustee) appointed as provided in
Section 10.07 hereof shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor and
to its predecessor, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon the resignation or removal of
the predecessor Securities Administrator shall become effective and such
successor Securities Administrator, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of
its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as
Securities Administrator herein. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer
and the predecessor Securities 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 Securities
Administrator all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
No successor Securities Administrator shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section 9.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Securities Administrator shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 10.06 hereof and its appointment shall not adversely affect the then
current rating of the Certificates, as confirmed in writing by each Rating
Agency.
Upon acceptance by a successor Securities Administrator of
appointment as provided in this Section 10.08, the Depositor shall mail notice
of the succession of such Securities Administrator hereunder to all Holders of
Certificates. If the Depositor fails to mail such notice within 10 days after
acceptance by the successor Securities Administrator of appointment, the
successor Securities Administrator shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Depositor.
Section 10.09 Merger or Consolidation of Securities Administrator.
Any corporation or other entity into which the Securities Administrator may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation or
other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Securities Administrator shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity
succeeding to the business of the Securities Administrator, shall be the
successor of the Securities Administrator hereunder, provided that such
corporation or other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section
9.06 hereof, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 10.10 Assignment or Delegation of Duties by the Securities
Administrator. Except as expressly provided herein, the Securities Administrator
shall not assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder
to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize or appoint
any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be
performed by the Securities Administrator; provided, however, that the
Securities Administrator shall have the right with the prior written consent of
the Depositor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and upon
delivery to the Trustee and the Depositor of a letter from each Rating Agency to
the effect that such action shall not result in a downgrade of the ratings
assigned to any of the Certificates, to delegate or assign to or subcontract
with or authorize or appoint any qualified Person to perform and carry out any
duties, covenants or obligations to be performed and carried out by the
Securities Administrator hereunder. Notice of such permitted assignment shall be
given promptly by the Securities Administrator to the Depositor and the Trustee.
If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Securities Administrator
are transferred to a successor securities administrator, the entire compensation
payable to the Securities Administrator pursuant hereto shall thereafter be
payable to such successor securities administrator but in no event shall the fee
payable to the successor securities administrator exceed that payable to the
predecessor securities administrator.

Section 11.01 Termination upon Liquidation or Purchase of the
Mortgage Loans. Subject to Section 11.02 and Section 11.03, the obligations and
responsibilities of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the
Trust Fund shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the purchase by the Servicer
(at the direction of the Majority Class C Certificateholder) or Ocwen, as
applicable, on the Optional Termination Date, of all Mortgage Loans (and REO
Properties) at the price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal
balance of each Mortgage Loan (other than in respect of REO Property) plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate,
(ii) the lesser of (x) the appraised value of any REO Property as determined by
the higher of two appraisals completed by two independent appraisers selected by
the Person electing to terminate the Trust Fund (or in the case of the Servicer,
acting at the direction of the Majority Class C Certificateholder, selected by
the Majority Class C Certificateholder), at the expense of such Person (or in
the case of the Servicer, acting at the direction of the Majority Class C
Certificateholder, the Majority Class C Certificateholder), plus accrued and
unpaid interest on the related Mortgage Loan at the applicable Mortgage Interest
Rates and (y) the unpaid principal balance of each Mortgage Loan related to any
REO Property, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the
applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, and (iii) any Swap Termination Payment owed
to the Swap Provider (as provided to the Securities Administrator by the Swap
Provider pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap Agreement) ("Termination Price") and
(b) the later of (i) the maturity or other Liquidation Event (or any Advance
with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust Fund and
the disposition of all REO Property and (ii) the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed to them pursuant to
this Agreement. In no event shall the trusts created hereby continue beyond the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the descendants of
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St.
James's, living on the date hereof.
Section 11.02 Final Distribution on the Certificates. If on any
Remittance Date, the Servicer notifies the Securities Administrator that there
are no Outstanding Mortgage Loans and no other funds or assets in the Trust Fund
other than the funds in the Collection Account, the Servicer shall direct the
Securities Administrator promptly to send a Notice of Final Distribution to each
Certificateholder and the Swap Provider. If the Servicer (at the direction of
the Majority Class C Certificateholder) or the Servicer, individually, elects to
terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (a) of Section 11.01, by the 25th
day of the month preceding the month of the final distribution, the Person
electing to terminate the Trust Fund shall notify the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Servicer, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator in writing
as of the date the electing Person intends to terminate the Trust Fund and of
the applicable Termination Price of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties. The
Servicer, when acting at the direction of the Majority Class C
Certificateholder, shall be entitled to reasonably rely on a representation from
the Majority Class C Certificateholder that it is the Majority Class C
Certificateholder and is entitled under this Agreement to direct the Servicer to
terminate the Trust Fund.
A Notice of Final Distribution, specifying the Distribution Date on
which Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates for payment of the
final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Securities
Administrator by letter to Certificateholders mailed not later than the 15th day
of the month of such final distribution. Any such Notice of Final Distribution
shall specify (a) the Distribution Date upon which final distribution on the
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the
office therein designated, (b) the amount of such final distribution, (c) the
location of the office or agency at which such presentation and surrender must
be made, and (d) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution
Date is not applicable, distributions being made only upon presentation and
surrender of the Certificates at the office therein specified. The Securities
Administrator will give such Notice of Final Distribution to each Rating Agency
at the time such Notice of Final Distribution is given to Certificateholders.
In the event such Notice of Final Distribution is given and the
Person electing to terminate the Trust Fund is the Servicer (at the direction of
the Majority Class C Certificateholder), the Majority Class C Certificateholder
shall remit the applicable Termination Price in immediately available funds to
the Servicer at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Distribution
Date, and, upon receipt of such funds from the Majority Class C
Certificateholder, the Servicer shall promptly deposit such funds in the
Collection Account. During the time such funds are held in the Collection
Account, such funds shall be invested, at the direction of the Majority Class C
Certificateholder, in Permitted Investments, and the Majority Class C
Certificateholder shall be entitled to all income from such investments, and
shall be responsible for, and shall reimburse the Servicer for all losses from
such investments. The Majority Class C Certificateholder shall be obligated to
reimburse the Servicer for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with its termination of the Trust Fund at the direction of the
Majority Class C Certificateholder and shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Servicer for any losses, liabilities or expenses resulting from any claims
directly resulting from or relating to the Servicer's termination of the Trust
Fund at the direction of the Majority Class C Certificateholder, except to the
extent such losses, liabilities or expenses arise out of or result from the
Servicer's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. In the event such Notice
of Final Distribution is given and the Person electing to terminate the Trust
Fund is the Servicer, the Servicer shall deposit the Termination Price in the
Collection Account at least two Business Days prior to the applicable
Distribution Date. During the time such funds are held in the Collection
Account, such funds may be invested by the Servicer in accordance with Section
3.12. In connection with any such termination of the Trust Fund, the Servicer
shall cause all funds in the Collection Account, including the applicable
Termination Price for the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, to be remitted to
the Master Servicer for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Business Day
prior to the applicable Distribution Date. In the event such Notice of Final
Distribution is given and the Person electing to terminate the Trust Fund is the
Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall deposit the Termination Price in the
Distribution Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution
Date. Upon such final deposit with respect to the Trust Fund and the receipt by
the Trustee of a Request for Release therefor (certifying as to such deposit),
the Trustee shall promptly release to the Person electing to terminate the Trust
Fund, or its designee, the Custodial Files for the Mortgage Loans.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Securities
Administrator shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders of each
Class (after reimbursement of all amounts due to the applicable Servicer
(including all unreimbursed Advances and any Servicing Fees accrued and unpaid
as of the date the Termination Price is paid), the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Securities Administrator and the Trustee hereunder), in each case
on the final Distribution Date and in the order set forth in Section 4.02, in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, with respect to
Certificateholders of the same Class, an amount up to an amount equal to (i) as
to each Class of Regular Certificates (except the Class X Certificates), the
Certificate Balance thereof plus for each such Class and the Class X
Certificates accrued interest thereon in the case of an interest bearing
Certificate and all other amounts to which such Classes are entitled pursuant to
Section 4.02, (ii) as to the Residual Certificates, the amount, if any, which
remains on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the amounts retained
to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above.
In the event that any affected Certificateholders shall not
surrender Certificates for cancellation within six months after the date
specified in the above mentioned written notice, the Securities Administrator
shall give a second written notice to the remaining Certificateholders to
surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive the final distribution
with respect thereto. If within six months after the second notice all the
applicable Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Securities Administrator may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to
take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the
funds and other assets which remain a part of the Trust Fund. If within one year
after the second notice all Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Residual Certificateholders shall be entitled to all unclaimed
funds and other assets of the Trust Fund which remain subject hereto.
Section 11.03 Additional Termination Requirements. In the event a
Person elects to terminate the Trust Fund as provided in Section 11.01, the
Trust Fund shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements, unless the Trustee has been supplied with an Opinion of Counsel,
at the expense of the electing Person, to the effect that the failure to comply
with the requirements of this Section 11.03 will not (i) result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" on any Trust REMIC as defined
in Section 860F of the Code, or (ii) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as
a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are Outstanding:
(a) The Securities Administrator shall sell all of the assets of the
Trust Fund to the Person electing to terminate the Trust Fund, or its designee,
and, within 90 days of such sale, shall distribute to the Certificateholders the
proceeds of such sale in complete liquidation of each of the Trust REMICs; and
(b) The Securities Administrator shall attach a statement to the
final federal income tax return for each of the Trust REMICs stating that
pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F 1, the first day of the 90 day
liquidation period for each such Trust REMIC was the date on which the
Securities Administrator sold the assets of the Trust Fund to the electing
Person.
ARTICLE XII

shall not be an expense of the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the
Trust Fund), adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder; provided, further, that the amendment shall be deemed to not
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Certificateholders
if the Person requesting the amendment obtains a letter from each Rating Agency
stating that the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of
the respective ratings then assigned to the Certificates; it being understood
and agreed that any such letter in and of itself will not represent a
determination as to the materiality of any such amendment and will represent a
determination only as to the credit issues affecting any such rating. The
Responsible Party, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator, the Master
Servicer, the Depositor and each Servicer also may at any time and from time to
time amend this Agreement, but without the consent of the Certificateholders to
modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as shall be
necessary or helpful to (i) maintain the qualification of each Trust REMIC under
the REMIC Provisions, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any
tax on any Trust REMIC pursuant to the Code that would be a claim at any time
prior to the final redemption of the Certificates or (iii) comply with any other

(i) maintain such qualification, (ii) avoid or minimize the risk of the
imposition of such a tax or (iii) comply with any such requirements of the Code.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the
Depositor, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer, each Servicer, the
Responsible Party and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66(2)/3%
of each Class of Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of

manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in

of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of
the Holders of all such Certificates then Outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the
Trustee shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless (i) it shall
have first received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense
of the Trustee or the Trust Fund, to the effect that such amendment will not
cause the imposition of any tax on any Trust REMIC or the Certificateholders or
cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the grantor trust to fail
to qualify as a grantor trust at any time that any Certificates are Outstanding
and (ii) the party seeking such amendment shall have provided written notice to
the Rating Agencies (with a copy of such notice to the Trustee) of such
amendment, stating the provisions of the Agreement to be amended.
The Responsible Party shall be obligated to execute any amendment to
this Agreement, unless such amendment would adversely affect in any material
respect a right or obligation of the Responsible Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.01, with
respect to any amendment that significantly modifies the permitted activities of
the Trustee or the Servicers, any Certificate beneficially owned by the
Depositor or any of its Affiliates or by the Responsible Party or any of its
Affiliates shall be deemed not to be Outstanding (and shall not be considered
when determining the percentage of Certificateholders consenting or when
calculating the total number of Certificates entitled to consent) for purposes
of determining if the requisite consents of Certificateholders under this
Section 12.01 have been obtained.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement
requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Securities Administrator shall
furnish written notification of the substance or a copy of such amendment to
each Certificateholder and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
under this Section 12.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable regulations as the Securities Administrator may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee, the Master
Servicer, or the Securities Administrator to enter into an amendment which
modifies its obligations or liabilities without its consent and in all cases
without receiving an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion shall not be an expense
of the Master Servicer, the Securities Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust
Fund), satisfactory to the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this
Agreement and that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been
complied with; and (ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the
conclusion set forth in the immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to

Section 12.02 Recordation of Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement
is subject to recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property
records in all the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or
all of the Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate
public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Depositor at the expense of the Trust, but only upon receipt of an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects
the interests of the Certificateholders.
For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.
Section 12.03 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND
THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THE
CERTIFICATEHOLDERS SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.
Section 12.04 Intention of Parties. It is the express intent of the
parties hereto that the conveyance (i) of the Mortgage Loans by the Depositor
and (ii) of the Trust Fund by the Depositor to the Trustee each be, and be
construed as, an absolute sale thereof. It is, further, not the intention of the
parties that such conveyances be deemed a pledge thereof. However, in the event
that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such assets are held to be the
property of the Depositor, as the case may be, or if for any other reason this
Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in either such assets,
then (i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the
meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and (ii) the
conveyances provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assignment
and a grant by the Depositor to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, of a security interest in all of the assets transferred,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
The Depositor, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, 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 Trust Fund, 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 the Agreement.

or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section 12.07 Assignment; Sales; Advance Facilities.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
except as provided in Section 6.04, this Agreement may be assigned by the
Servicer with the prior written consent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee. In addition, for so long as the Servicer is acting as the
Servicer hereunder (i) the Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into an
advance facility ("Advance Facility") under which (A) the Servicer sells,
assigns or pledges to an Advancing Person the Servicer's rights under this
Agreement to be reimbursed for any P&I Advances or Servicing Advances and/or (B)
an Advancing Person agrees to fund some or all P&I Advances or Servicing
Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and (ii)
the Servicer is hereby authorized to assign its rights to the Servicing Fee; it
being understood that neither the Trust Fund nor any party hereto shall have a
right or claim to an Advance Reimbursement Amount so assigned or to the portion
of the Servicing Fee so assigned; it being further understood that upon
resignation or termination of the Servicer and reimbursement of all amounts due
to the Servicer hereunder, the assignment of further Advance reimbursement
rights to such Advance Facility (in the case of clause (i)) and such assignment
(in the case of clause (ii)) shall be terminated with respect to amounts due
related to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders, or any
other party is required before the Servicer may enter into an Advance Facility.
Notwithstanding the existence of any Advance Facility under which an Advancing
Person agrees to fund P&I Advances and/or Servicing Advances on the Servicer's
behalf, the Master Servicer shall have no oversight obligations with respect to
such Advance Facility and the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this
Agreement to make P&I Advances and Servicing Advances pursuant to and as
required by this Agreement, and shall not be relieved of such obligations by
virtue of such Advance Facility.
(b) Advance reimbursement amounts ("Advance Reimbursement Amounts")
shall consist solely of amounts in respect of P&I Advances and/or Servicing
Advances made with respect to the Mortgage Loans for which the Servicer would be
permitted to reimburse itself in accordance with this Agreement, assuming the
Servicer had made the related P&I Advance(s) and/or Servicing Advance(s).
(c) The Servicer shall maintain and provide to any successor
Servicer a detailed accounting on a loan-by-loan basis as to amounts advanced
by, pledged or assigned to, and reimbursed to any Advancing Person. The
successor Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any such information provided by
the predecessor Servicer, and the successor Servicer shall not be liable for any
errors in such information.
(d) An Advancing Person who purchases or receives an assignment or
pledge of the rights to be reimbursed for P&I Advances and/or Servicing
Advances, and/or whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of P&I
Advances and/or Servicing Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria
for qualification of a Subservicer set forth in this Agreement.
(e) Advance Reimbursement Amounts distributed with respect to each
Mortgage Loan shall be allocated to outstanding xxxxxxxxxxxx X&X Advances or
Servicing Advances (as the case may be) made with respect to that Mortgage Loan
on a "first-in, first out" (FIFO) basis. Such documentation shall also require
the Servicer to provide to the related Advancing Person or its designee
loan-by-loan information with respect to each such Advance Reimbursement Amount
distributed to such Advancing Person or Advance Facility trustee on each
Distribution Date, to enable the Advancing Person or Advance Facility trustee to
make the FIFO allocation of each such Advance Reimbursement Amount with respect
to each Mortgage Loan. The Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by
the Advancing Person or Advance Facility trustee for all P&I Advances and
Servicing Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related rights to be
reimbursed therefor have not been sold, assigned or pledged to an Advancing
Person.
(f) Any amendment to this Section 12.07 or to any other provision of
this Agreement that may be necessary or appropriate to effect the terms of an
Advance Facility as described generally in this Section 12.07, including
amendments to add provisions relating to a successor Servicer, may be entered
into by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, each Servicer and the
Securities Administrator without the consent of any Certificateholder,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, provided, that the
Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel that such amendment has no
material adverse effect on the Certificateholders which opinion shall be an
expense of each Servicer entering into the Advance Facility but in any case
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Trust Fund; provided, further,
that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of the Certificateholders if the Person requesting the
amendment delivers to the Trustee a letter from each Rating Agency (instead of
obtaining an Opinion of Counsel) stating that the amendment would not result in
the downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates; it being understood and agreed that any such rating letter in and
of itself will not represent a determination as to the materiality of any such
amendment and will represent a determination only as to the credit issues
affecting any such rating. Prior to entering into an Advance Facility, the
applicable Servicer shall notify the lender under such facility in writing that:
(a) the Advances financed by and/or pledged to the lender are obligations owed
to the applicable Servicer on a non-recourse basis payable only from the cash
flows and proceeds received under this Agreement for reimbursement of Advances
only to the extent provided herein, and the Trustee and the Trust are not
otherwise obligated or liable to repay any Advances financed by the lender; (b)
each Servicer will be responsible for remitting to the lender the applicable
amounts collected by it as reimbursement for Advances funded by the lender,
subject to the restrictions and priorities created in this Agreement; and (c)
the Trustee shall not have any responsibility to track or monitor the
administration of the financing arrangement between the applicable Servicer and
the lender.
Section 12.08 Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death
or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust created hereby, nor entitle such Certificateholder's
legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust
created hereby, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of
the parties hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as
provided herein) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and management
of the Trust Fund, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall anything
herein set forth or contained in the terms of the Certificates be construed so
as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as partners or members
of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under any liability to any
third party by reason of any action taken by the parties to this Agreement
pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice
of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided, and
unless the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting
Rights evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the
Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee
hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it
may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein
or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any
such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates
shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself or
themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek
to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any
right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the
common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section 12.08, each and every Certificateholder and the
Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.
Section 12.09 Inspection and Audit Rights. Each Servicer agrees that
on reasonable prior notice, it will permit any representative of the Depositor,
the Master Servicer or the Trustee during such Servicer's normal business hours,
to examine all the books of account, records, reports and other papers of such
Servicer relating to the applicable Mortgage Loans, to make copies and extracts
therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by independent certified public
accountants selected by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee and to
discuss its affairs, finances and accounts relating to such Mortgage Loans with
its officers, employees and independent public accountants (and by this
provision each Servicer hereby authorizes said accountants to discuss with such
representative such affairs, finances and accounts), all at such reasonable
times and as often as may be reasonably requested. Any reasonable out-of-pocket
expense of a Servicer incident to the exercise by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer or the Trustee of any right under this Section 12.09 shall be borne by
the party making the request (except in the case of requests made by the
Trustee, such expenses shall be borne by such Servicer). Each Servicer may
impose commercially reasonable restrictions on dissemination of information such
Servicer defines as confidential.
Nothing in this Section 12.09 shall limit the obligation of each
Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information
regarding the Mortgagors and the failure of such Servicer to provide access as
provided in this Section 12.09 as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this Section. Nothing in this Section 12.09 shall require
each Servicer to collect, create, collate or otherwise generate any information
that it does not generate in its usual course of business. Each Servicer shall
not be required to make copies of or to ship documents to any Person who is not
a party to this Agreement, and then only if provisions have been made for the
reimbursement of the costs thereof.
Section 12.10 Certificates Nonassessable and Fully Paid. It is the
intention of the Depositor that Certificateholders shall not be personally
liable for obligations of the Trust Fund, that the interests in the Trust Fund
represented by the Certificates shall be nonassessable for any reason
whatsoever, and that the Certificates, upon due authentication thereof by the
Securities Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, are and shall be deemed
fully paid.
Section 12.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW)
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED
BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
Section 12.12 Limitation of Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING
CONTAINED HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT NO PARTY SHALL BE
LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, WHETHER IN
CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL
OR EQUITABLE PRINCIPLE, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH LIMITATION SHALL NOT BE
APPLICABLE WITH RESPECT TO THIRD PARTY CLAIMS MADE AGAINST A PARTY.
Section 12.13 Rights of Third Parties. Each of the Swap Provider,
and each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder who is not a party hereto,
shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement to the same extent
as if it were a party hereto and shall have the right to enforce its rights
under this Agreement.
Section 12.14 No Solicitation. From and after the Closing Date, each
Servicer agrees that it will not take any action or permit or cause any action
to be taken by any of its agents or Affiliates, or by any independent
contractors on the applicable Servicer's behalf, to personally, by telephone or
mail, solicit the borrower or obligor under any Mortgage Loan, including to
refinance a Mortgage Loan, in whole or in part. It is understood and agreed that
all rights and benefits relating to the solicitation of any Mortgagors and the
attendant rights, title and interest in and to the list of such Mortgagors and
data relating to their Mortgages (including insurance renewal dates) are vested
in the Trustee pursuant hereto and the applicable Servicer shall take no action
to undermine these rights and benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
understood and agreed that (a) promotions undertaken by each Servicer or any
Affiliate of the applicable Servicer which are directed to the general public at
large, including, without limitation, mass mailing based on commercially
acquired mailing lists, newspaper, radio, internet, company website, and
television advertisements and (b) solicitation of the Mortgagors under the
applicable Servicer's existing programs and programs directed toward equivalent
ends (which in no event shall solicit the refinancing of mortgage loans from the
Mortgagors), shall, in each case, not constitute solicitation under this Section
12.14.
Section 12.15 Regulation AB Compliance; Intent of the Parties;
Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the
requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive
guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants
in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and
agree to comply with reasonable requests made by the Depositor in good faith for
delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving
interpretations of Regulation AB. In connection with the Trust, the Securities
Administrator, the Master Servicer, each Servicer and the Trustee shall
cooperate fully with the Depositor to deliver to the Depositor (including its
assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications,
records and any other information available to such party and reasonably
necessary in the good faith determination of the Depositor to permit the
Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB.

SCHEDULE IV
GSAMP Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-NC2,
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
Representations and Warranties of the Responsible Party as to the Individual
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mortgage Loans
--------------
The Responsible Party hereby makes the representations and warranties set
forth in this Schedule IV as to the individual Mortgage Loans only to the
Depositor, Ocwen, NCMC, the Securities Administrator, the Master Servicer and
the Trustee as of June 29, 2006 (the "Securitization Closing Date") (unless
otherwise expressly indicated). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined
in this Schedule IV shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase
Agreement:
(1) Mortgage Loans as Described. The Responsible Party has delivered to
the Sponsor the Data Tape Information and the information set forth on the
Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and correct;
(2) Payments Current. All payments required to be made up to May 26, 2006
for the Mortgage Loan under the terms of the Mortgage Note, other than payments
for which the related due date was not thirty or more days prior to the
Securitization Closing Date, have been made and credited. No Mortgage Loan has a
Thirty-day Delinquency nor has the Mortgage Loan had a Thirty-day Delinquency
more than once since the origination of the Mortgage Loan. The first Monthly
Payment shall be made with respect to the Mortgage Loan on its Due Date or
within the grace period, all in accordance with the terms of the related
Mortgage Note;
(3) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the
terms of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance
premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents
which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has
been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which
remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. The
Responsible Party has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly
received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or
indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan,
except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of
disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day
which precedes by one (1) month the Due Date of the first Monthly Payment;
(4) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage
have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, from the
date of origination except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if
necessary to protect the interests of the Sponsor, and which has been delivered
to the Trustee or to such other Person as the Sponsor shall designate in
writing, and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule, the Data Tape Information or included in the Mortgage File. No
Mortgage Loan has been modified so as to restructure the payment obligations or
re-age the Mortgage Loan. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or
modification has been approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the
title insurer, if any, to the extent required by the policy, and its terms are
reflected on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, if applicable. No Mortgagor has
been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption
agreement, approved by the issuer of any related PMI Policy and the title
insurer, to the extent required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is
part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to the Trustee or to such other Person
as the Sponsor shall designate in writing and the terms of which are reflected
in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and the Data Tape Information;
(5) 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 or defense has been asserted with respect thereto, and no Mortgagor
was a debtor in any state or Federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the
time the Mortgage Loan was originated;
(6) Hazard Insurance. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all buildings
or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a generally
acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such
other hazards generally insured against in the jurisdiction in which the
Mortgaged Property is located by a prudent lender making mortgage loans similar
to the Mortgage Loans, as well as all additional requirements set forth in
Section 3.13 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If required by the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, each Mortgage Loan is covered by a
flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the
Federal Insurance Administration is in effect which conforms to the standard a
prudent lender would require, as well as all additional requirements set forth
in Section 3.13 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All individual insurance
policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Responsible Party and
its successors and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been
paid. The Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard
insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the Mortgagor's
failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to obtain and maintain
such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and expense, and to seek reimbursement
therefor from the Mortgagor. Where required by state law or regulation, the
Mortgagor has been given an opportunity to choose the carrier of the required
hazard insurance, provided the policy is not a "master" or "blanket" hazard
insurance policy covering a condominium, or any hazard insurance policy covering
the common facilities of a planned unit development. The hazard insurance policy
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 Sponsor
upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The
Responsible Party has not engaged in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's or
any servicer's having engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the
coverage of any such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for
herein, or the validity and binding effect of such policy, without limitation,
no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation or value of
any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any attorney,
firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been received,
retained or realized by the Responsible Party;
(7) 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,
predatory, abusive and fair lending laws, equal credit opportunity and
disclosure laws or unfair and deceptive practices laws applicable to the
Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, any provisions relating to
prepayment penalties, have been complied with, the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not involve the violation of any such laws
or regulations, and the Responsible Party shall maintain in its possession,
available for the Sponsor's inspection, and shall deliver to the Sponsor upon
demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements;
(8) No Satisfaction 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. The Responsible Party has not waived
the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor's failure to
perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has the
Responsible Party waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by
the Mortgagor;
(9) Location and Type of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is
located in the state identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists 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 low rise
condominium project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de
minimis planned unit development which is in each case four stories or less,
provided, however, that no Mortgage Loan is secured by a single parcel of real
property with a cooperative housing corporation, a log home or a mobile home
erected thereon or manufactured housing or by a mixed use property, a property
in excess of 10 acres, or other unique property types. As of the date of
origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial
purposes, and since the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged
Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged
Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for
commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for
commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other than
those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes;
(10) Valid First or Second Lien. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting,
enforceable and perfected, first or second lien (as applicable) on the Mortgaged
Property, including all buildings and improvements 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:
(a) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments
not yet due and payable;
(b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of the public record as of the date of
recording acceptable to prudent mortgage lending institutions
generally and specifically referred to in the lender's title
insurance policy delivered to the originator of the Mortgage Loan
and (a) specifically referred to or otherwise considered in the
appraisal made for the originator of the Mortgage Loan or (b) which
do not adversely affect the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged
Property set forth in such appraisal;
(c) other matters to which like properties are commonly
subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the use,
enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged Property;
and
(d) with respect to Second Lien Mortgage Loans, the lien of
the first mortgage on the 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, enforceable and perfected (A) first lien and first priority
security interest with respect to each first lien mortgage loan, or (B) second
lien and second priority security interest with respect to each Second Lien
Mortgage Loan, in either case, on the property described therein and Responsible
Party has full right to sell and assign the same to Sponsor.
Unless set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Mortgaged Property
with respect to any Second Lien Mortgage Loan is not subject to a first lien
mortgage loan which is not a Mortgage Loan;
(11) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor in connection with
a Mortgage Loan are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation
of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms (including,
without limitation, any provisions therein relating to Prepayment Penalties).
All parties to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any other such related
agreement had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and
deliver the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage and any such agreement, and the Mortgage
Note, the Mortgage and any other such related agreement have been duly and
properly executed by other such related parties. No fraud, error, omission,
misrepresentation, negligence or similar occurrence with respect to a Mortgage
Loan has taken place on the part of any Person, including without limitation,
the Mortgagor, any appraiser, any builder or developer, or any other party
involved in the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loan. The Responsible
Party has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Servicing File and has
made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of
the representations set forth herein;
(12) Full Disbursement of Proceeds. The Mortgage Loan has been closed and
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 therefor have been complied with. 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;
(13) Ownership. The Responsible Party is the sole owner of record and
holder of the Mortgage Loan and the indebtedness evidenced by each Mortgage Note
subject to the interest of Responsible Party's Warehouse Lender which will be
released on or before the sale to the Sponsor of the Mortgage Loans. The
Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged, and the Responsible Party has good,
indefeasible and marketable title thereto, and has full right to transfer and
sell the Mortgage Loan to the Sponsor free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
participation interest, 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 this Agreement and following the sale of each Mortgage Loan, the Sponsor will
own such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation
interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest. The Responsible
Party intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the
Mortgage Loan. After the Securitization Closing Date, the Responsible Party will
have no right to modify or alter the terms of the sale of the Mortgage Loan and
the Responsible Party will have no obligation or right to repurchase the
Mortgage Loan or substitute another Mortgage Loan, except as provided in this
Agreement;
(14) Doing Business. 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) either (i) organized
under the laws of such state, or (ii) qualified to do business in such state, or
(iii) a federal savings and loan association, a savings bank or a national bank
having a principal office in such state, or (3) not doing business in such
state;
(15) CLTV, LTV. No Mortgage Loan that is a Second Lien Mortgage Loan has a
CLTV in excess of 100%;
(16) Title Insurance. The Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender's
title insurance policy, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which the
related Mortgaged Property is located in California a CLTA lender's title
insurance policy, or other generally acceptable form of policy or insurance
acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac and each such title insurance policy is
issued by a title insurer that would be acceptable to a prudent lender making
mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans and qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring the Responsible
Party, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien (with respect
to first lien Mortgage Loans) or second priority lien (with respect to Second
Lien Mortgage Loans) of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the
Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (a), (b), (c)
and (d) of representation (10) of this Schedule IV, and in the case of
adjustable rate Mortgage Loans, 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.
Where required by state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the
opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance.
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. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions
(other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses and has been marked to
delete the standard survey exceptions or to replace the standard survey
exception with a specific survey reading. The Responsible Party, its successor
and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender's title insurance policy, and
such lender's title insurance policy is valid and remains 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 related Mortgage, including
the Responsible Party, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair
the coverage of such lender's title insurance policy, including without
limitation, no unlawful fee, commission, kickback or other unlawful compensation
or value of any kind has been or will be received, retained or realized by any
attorney, firm or other person or entity, and no such unlawful items have been
received, retained or realized by the Responsible Party;
(17) No Defaults. As of May 26, 2006, other than payments due but not yet
30 days or more delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event
which would permit 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 which would permit acceleration, and neither the Responsible Party nor any
of its affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any
default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration. With
respect to each Second Lien Mortgage Loan, (i) the prior mortgage is in full
force and effect, (ii) there is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under such prior mortgage or the related mortgage note,
(iii) as of the Securitization Closing Date, 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 prior 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 prior mortgage;
(18) 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 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;
(19) Location of Improvements; No Encroachments. 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;
(20) Origination; Payment Terms. Either (a) the Mortgage Loan was
originated by a mortgagee approved by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, a
savings and loan association, a savings bank, a commercial bank, credit union,
insurance company or other similar institution which is supervised and examined
by a federal or state authority, or (b) the following requirements have been met
with respect to the Mortgage Loan: the Responsible Party meets the requirements
set forth in clause (a), and (i) such Mortgage Loan was underwritten in
accordance with standards established by the Responsible Party, using
application forms and related credit documents approved by the Responsible
Party, (ii) the Responsible Party approved each application and the related
credit documents before a commitment by the correspondent was issued, and no
such commitment was issued until the Responsible Party agreed to fund such
Mortgage Loan, (iii) the closing documents for such Mortgage Loan were prepared
on forms approved by the Responsible Party, and (iv) such Mortgage Loan was
actually funded by the Responsible Party and was purchased by the Responsible
Party at closing or soon thereafter. The documents, instruments and agreements
submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue
statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the information and statements therein not
misleading. No Mortgage Loan contains terms or provisions which would result in
negative amortization. Except with respect to Interest Only Mortgage Loans,
principal payments on the Mortgage Loan commenced no more than sixty days after
funds were disbursed in connection with the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Interest
Rate as well as the Lifetime Rate Cap and the Periodic Cap, are as set forth on
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. Except with respect to Interest Only
Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Note is payable in equal monthly installments of
principal and interest, with interest calculated and payable in arrears,
sufficient to amortize the Mortgage Loan fully by the stated maturity date, over
an original term of not more than thirty years from commencement of
amortization. With respect to Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans, such installments
of interest are subject to change due to the adjustments to the Mortgage
Interest Rate on each Interest Rate Adjustment Date. Unless otherwise specified
on the description of pool characteristics on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the
Mortgage Loan is payable on the first day of each month. There are no
Convertible Mortgage Loans which contain a provision allowing the Mortgagor to
convert the Mortgage Note from an adjustable interest rate Mortgage Note to a
fixed interest rate Mortgage Note. No Mortgage Loan is a balloon mortgage loan
that has an original stated maturity of less than seven (7) years;
(21) Customary 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, (i) in the case of a Mortgage
designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by judicial
foreclosure. Upon default by a Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on,
or trustee's sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures,
the holder of the Mortgage Loan will be able to deliver good and merchantable
title to the Mortgaged Property. 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,
subject to applicable federal and state laws and judicial precedent with respect
to bankruptcy and right of redemption or similar law;
(22) Conformance with Agency and Underwriting Guidelines. The Mortgage
Loan was underwritten in accordance with the Underwriting Guidelines. The
Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxxx Mac or Xxxxxx Mae
and the Responsible Party has not made any representations to a Mortgagor that
are inconsistent with the mortgage instruments used;
(23) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the Securitization 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 but not limited to certificates of
occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from
the appropriate authorities;
(24) No Additional Collateral. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been
secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the
security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage
referred to in clause (j) above;
(25) Deeds of Trust. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of
trust, a trustee, authorized and 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 Sponsor to
the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale
after default by the Mortgagor;
(26) Acceptable Investment. To the Responsible Party's knowledge, there
are no circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged
Property, the Mortgagor, the Mortgage File or the Mortgagor's credit standing
that can reasonably be expected to cause private institutional investors who
invest in sub prime mortgage loans 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, or cause the
Mortgage Loans to prepay during any period materially faster or slower than the
mortgage loans originated by the Responsible Party generally;
(27) Delivery of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the
Assignment of Mortgage and any other documents constituting the Mortgage File
for each Mortgage Loan have been delivered to the Trustee. The Responsible Party
is in possession of a complete, true and accurate Mortgage File in compliance
with Exhibit A hereto, except for such documents the originals of which have
been delivered to the Trustee;
(28) Condominiums/Planned Unit Developments. If the Mortgaged Property is
a condominium unit or a planned unit development (other than a de minimis
planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development project
such Mortgage Loan was originated in accordance with, and the Mortgaged Property
meets the guidelines set forth in the Responsible Party's Underwriting
Guidelines;
(29) Transfer of Mortgage Loans. The Assignment of Mortgage with respect
to each Mortgage Loan is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located.
The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages
by the Responsible Party are not subject to the bulk transfer or similar
statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;
(30) Due On Sale. With respect to each Fixed Rate Mortgage Loan, 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, and to the best of the Responsible Party's knowledge,
such provision is enforceable;
(31) Assumability. With respect to each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan, the
Mortgage Loan Documents provide that after the related first Interest Rate
Adjustment Date, a related Mortgage Loan may only be assumed if the party
assuming such Mortgage Loan meets certain credit requirements stated in the
Mortgage Loan Documents;
(32) No Buydown Provisions; No Graduated Payments or Contingent Interests.
The Mortgage Loan does not contain provisions pursuant to which Monthly Payments
are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account
established by the Responsible Party, the Mortgagor, or anyone on behalf of the
Mortgagor, or paid by any source other than the Mortgagor nor does it contain
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;
(33) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the
Mortgagor 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.
The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly
insured as having first or second lien priority (as applicable) by a title
insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's
consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx and
Xxxxxxx Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;
(34) Mortgaged Property Undamaged; No Condemnation Proceedings. There is
no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the
Mortgaged Property. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire,
earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, hurricane, 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
and each Mortgaged Property is in good repair. There have not been any
condemnation proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property and the
Responsible Party has no knowledge of any such proceedings in the future;
(35) Collection Practices; Escrow Deposits; Interest Rate Adjustments. The
origination, servicing and collection practices used by the Servicer, the
Responsible Party, and any prior servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan have
been in all respects in compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices, applicable
laws and regulations, and have been in all respects legal and proper and prudent
in the mortgage origination and servicing business. With respect to escrow
deposits and Escrow Payments, all such payments are in the possession of, or
under the control of, the Servicer or the Responsible Party 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 and the provisions of the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage. An escrow of funds is not prohibited by applicable
law and has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every item that
remains unpaid and has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. No escrow
deposits or Escrow Payments or other charges or payments due the Responsible
Party have been capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note. All
Mortgage Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with
state and federal law and the terms of the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note on
the related Interest Rate Adjustment Date. If, pursuant to the terms of the
Mortgage Note, another index was selected for determining the Mortgage Interest
Rate, the same index was used with respect to each Mortgage Note which required
a new index to be selected, and such selection did not conflict with the terms
of the related Mortgage Note. The Responsible Party executed and delivered any
and all notices required under applicable law and the terms of the related
Mortgage Note and Mortgage regarding the Mortgage Interest Rate and the Monthly
Payment adjustments. Any interest required to be paid pursuant to state, federal
and local law has been properly paid and credited;
(36) Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate. With respect to Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Loans, the Mortgage Loan is not a Convertible Mortgage Loan;
(37) Other Insurance Policies. No action, inaction or event has occurred
and no state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in
the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any applicable,
special hazard insurance policy, PMI Policy or bankruptcy bond, irrespective of
the cause of such failure of coverage. In connection with the placement of any
such insurance, no commission, fee, or other compensation has been or will be
received by the Responsible Party or by any officer, director, or employee of
the Responsible Party or any designee of the Responsible Party or any
corporation in which the Responsible Party or any officer, director, or employee
had a financial interest at the time of placement of such insurance;
(38) No Violation of Environmental Laws. There exists no violation of any
local, state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation at the related
Mortgaged Property. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving
the Mortgaged Property in which compliance with any environmental law, rule or
regulation is an issue; there is no violation of any environmental law, rule or
regulation with respect to the Mortgage Property; and nothing further remains to
be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation
constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of said property;
(39) Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not notified the
Responsible Party, and the Responsible Party has no knowledge of any relief
requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers' Civil Relief
Act;
(40) Appraisal. The Mortgage File contains an appraisal of the related
Mortgaged Property signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage Loan application
by a Qualified Appraiser, duly appointed by the related originator, 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 appraiser both satisfy
the requirements of Xxxxxx Mae or Xxxxxxx Mac and Title XI of the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, all as in effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was
originated;
(41) Disclosure Materials. The Mortgagor has executed a statement to the
effect that the Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by, and
the Responsible Party has complied with, all applicable law with respect to the
making of the Mortgage Loans. The Responsible Party shall maintain such
statement in the Mortgage File;
(42) Construction or Rehabilitation of Mortgaged Property. No Mortgage
Loan was made in connection with the construction or rehabilitation of a
Mortgaged Property or facilitating the trade in or exchange of a Mortgaged
Property;
(43) Value of Mortgaged Property. The Responsible Party has no knowledge
of any circumstances existing that could reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the value or the marketability of any Mortgaged Property or Mortgage Loan
or to cause the Mortgage Loans to prepay during any period materially faster or
slower than similar mortgage loans held by the Responsible Party generally
secured by properties in the same geographic area as the related Mortgaged
Property;
(44) No Defense to Insurance Coverage. The Responsible Party has caused or
will cause to be performed any and all acts required to preserve the rights and
remedies of the Sponsor in any insurance policies applicable to the Mortgage
Loans including, without limitation, any necessary notifications of insurers,
assignments of policies or interests therein, and establishments of coinsured,
joint loss payee and mortgagee rights in favor of the Sponsor. No action has
been taken or failed to be taken, no event has occurred and no state of facts
exists or has existed on or prior to the Securitization Closing Date (whether or
not known to the Responsible Party on or prior to such date) which has resulted
or will result in an exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage under any
primary mortgage insurance (including, without limitation, any exclusions,
denials or defenses which would limit or reduce the availability of the timely
payment of the full amount of the loss otherwise due thereunder to the insured)
whether arising out of actions, representations, errors, omissions, negligence,
or fraud of the Responsible Party, the related Mortgagor or any party involved
in the application for such coverage, including the appraisal, plans and
specifications and other exhibits or documents submitted therewith to the
insurer under such insurance policy, or for any other reason under such
coverage, but not including the failure of such insurer to pay by reason of such
insurer's breach of such insurance policy or such insurer's financial inability
to pay;
(45) Escrow Analysis. With respect to each Mortgage, the Responsible Party
or the Servicer has within the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage was
originated within such twelve month period) analyzed the required Escrow
Payments for each Mortgage and adjusted the amount of such payments so that,
assuming all required payments are timely made, any deficiency will be
eliminated on or before the first anniversary of such analysis, or any overage
will be refunded to the Mortgagor, in accordance with RESPA and any other
applicable law;
(46) Prior Servicing. Each Mortgage Loan has been serviced in strict
compliance with Accepted Servicing Practices;
(47) Credit Information. As to each consumer report (as defined in the
Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public Law 91 508) or other credit information
furnished by the Responsible Party to the Sponsor, that Responsible Party has
full right and authority and is not precluded by law or contract from furnishing
such information to the Sponsor and the Sponsor is not precluded by the terms of
the Mortgage Loan Documents from furnishing the same to any subsequent or
prospective purchaser of such Mortgage. The Responsible Party shall hold the
Sponsor harmless from any and all damages, losses, costs and expenses (including
attorney's fees) arising from disclosure of credit information in connection
with the Sponsor's secondary marketing operations and the purchase and sale of
mortgages. The Responsible Party has or has caused the related servicer to, for
each Mortgage Loan, fully furnish, in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting
Act and its implementing regulations, accurate and complete information (e.g.,
favorable and unfavorable) on its borrower credit files to Equifax, Experian and
Trans Union Credit Information Company (three of the credit repositories), on a
monthly basis. This representation and warranty is a Deemed Material Breach
Representation;
(48) Leaseholds. If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long term
residential lease, (1) the lessor under the lease holds a fee simple interest in
the land; (2) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the
leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor's consent and
the acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the lessee upon
foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide the holder of the
Mortgage with substantially similar protections; (3) the terms of such lease do
not (a) allow the termination thereof upon the lessee's default without the
holder of the Mortgage being entitled to receive written notice of, and
opportunity to cure, such default, (b) allow the termination of the lease in the
event of damage or destruction as long as the Mortgage is in existence, (c)
prohibit the holder of the Mortgage from being insured (or receiving proceeds of
insurance) under the hazard insurance policy or policies relating to the
Mortgaged Property or (d) permit any increase in rent other than pre established
increases set forth in the lease; (4) the original term of such lease is not
less than 15 years; (5) the term of such lease does not terminate earlier than
five years after the maturity date of the Mortgage Note; and (6) the Mortgaged
Property is located in a jurisdiction in which the use of leasehold estates in
transferring ownership in residential properties is a widely accepted practice;
(49) Prepayment Penalty. The Mortgage Loan is subject to a Prepayment
Penalty as provided in the related Mortgage Note except as set forth on the
related Mortgage Loan Schedule. With respect to each Mortgage Loan that has a
Prepayment Penalty feature, each such Prepayment Penalty is enforceable and will
be enforced by the Responsible Party for the benefit of the Sponsor, and each
Prepayment Penalty is permitted pursuant to federal, state and local law. Each
such Prepayment Penalty is in an amount not more than the maximum amount
permitted under applicable law and no such Prepayment Penalty may provide for a
term in excess of five (5) years with respect to Mortgage Loans originated prior
to October, 1, 2002. With respect to Mortgage Loans originated on or after
October 1, 2002, the duration of the Prepayment Penalty period shall not exceed
three (3) years from the date of the Mortgage Note unless the Mortgage Loan was
modified to reduce the Prepayment Penalty period to no more than three (3) years
from the date of such Mortgage Loan and the Mortgagor was notified in writing of
such reduction in Prepayment Penalty period. With respect to any Mortgage Loan
that contains a provision permitting imposition of a penalty upon a prepayment
prior to maturity: (i) the Mortgage Loan provides some benefit to the Mortgagor
(e.g., a rate or fee reduction) in exchange for accepting such Prepayment
Penalty, (ii) the Mortgage Loan's originator had a written policy of offering
the Mortgagor or requiring third-party brokers to offer the Mortgagor, the
option of obtaining a mortgage loan that did not require payment of such a
penalty and (iii) the Prepayment Penalty was adequately disclosed to the
Mortgagor in the mortgage loan documents pursuant to applicable state, local and
federal law;
(50) Predatory Lending Regulations. No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan
or Covered Loan, as applicable, and no Mortgage Loan originated on or after
October 1, 2002 through March 6, 2003 is governed by the Georgia Fair Lending
Act. No Mortgage Loan is covered by the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act
of 1994 and no Mortgage Loan is in violation of any comparable state or local
law. The Mortgaged Property is not located in a jurisdiction where a breach of
this representation with respect to the related Mortgage Loan may result in
additional assignee liability to the Sponsor, as determined by Sponsor in its
reasonable discretion. No predatory or deceptive lending practices, including,
without limitation, the extension of credit without regard to the ability of the
Mortgagor to repay and the extension of credit which has no apparent benefit to
the Mortgagor, were employed in the origination of the Mortgage Loan. Each
Mortgage Loan is in compliance with the anti predatory lending eligibility for
purchase requirements of Xxxxxx Mae's Selling Guide;
(51) Single premium Credit Life Insurance Policy. In connection with the
origination of any Mortgage Loan, no proceeds from any Mortgage Loan were used
to finance or acquire a single premium credit life insurance policy. No
Mortgagor was required to purchase any single premium credit insurance policy
(e.g., life, disability, accident, unemployment, or property insurance product)
or debt cancellation agreement as a condition of obtaining the extension of
credit. No Mortgagor obtained a prepaid single premium credit insurance policy
(e.g., life, disability, accident, unemployment, property insurance policy) in
connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan; no proceeds from any
Mortgage Loan were used to purchase single premium credit insurance policies or
debt cancellation agreements as part of the origination of, or as a condition to
closing, such Mortgage Loan;
(52) Tax Service Contract; Flood Certification Contract. Each Mortgage
Loan is covered by a paid in full, life of loan, tax service contract and a paid
in full, life of loan, flood certification contract and each of these contracts
is assignable to the Sponsor;
(53) Qualified Mortgage. The Mortgage Loan is a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code;
(54) Regarding the Mortgagor. The Mortgagor is one or more natural persons
and/or trustees for an Illinois land trust or a trustee under a "living trust"
and such "living trust" is in compliance with Xxxxxx Xxx guidelines for such
trusts;
(55) Recordation. Each original Mortgage was recorded and all subsequent
assignments of the original Mortgage (other than the assignment to the Sponsor)
have been recorded in the appropriate jurisdictions wherein such recordation is
necessary to perfect the lien thereof as against creditors of the Responsible
Party, or is in the process of being recorded;
(56) FICO Scores. Each Mortgagor has a non zero FICO score. No Mortgage
Loan has a Mortgagor with a FICO score of less than 500;
(57) Compliance with Anti Money Laundering Laws. The Responsible Party has
complied with all applicable anti money laundering laws and regulations,
including without limitation the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (collectively, the
"Anti Money Laundering Laws"); the Responsible Party has established an anti
money laundering compliance program as required by the Anti Money Laundering
Laws, has conducted the requisite due diligence in connection with the
origination of each Mortgage Loan for purposes of the Anti Money Laundering
Laws, including with respect to the legitimacy of the applicable Mortgagor and
the origin of the assets used by the said Mortgagor to purchase the property in
question, and maintains, and will maintain, sufficient information to identify
the applicable Mortgagor for purposes of the Anti Money Laundering Laws;
(58) Assumability. The Mortgage Loan, by its terms, is not assumable;
(59) Origination Practices. The Mortgagor was not encouraged or required
to select a Mortgage Loan product offered by the Mortgage Loan's originator
which is a higher cost product designed for less creditworthy borrowers, unless
at the time of the Mortgage Loan's origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify
taking into account such facts as, without limitation, the Mortgage Loan's
requirements and the Mortgagor's credit history, income, assets and liabilities
and debt-to-income ratios for a lower-cost credit product then offered by the
Mortgage Loan's originator or any affiliate of the Mortgage Loan's originator.
For a Mortgagor who seeks financing through a Mortgage Loan originator's
higher-priced subprime lending channel, the Mortgagor was directed towards or
offered the Mortgage Loan originator's standard mortgage line if the Mortgagor
was able to qualify for one of the standard products;
(60) Underwriting Methodology. The methodology used in underwriting the
extension of credit for each Mortgage Loan does not rely 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
that related such facts as, without limitation, the Mortgagor's credit history,
income, assets or 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. Such underwriting methodology confirmed that at
the time of origination (application/approval) the Mortgagor had a reasonable
ability to make timely payments on the Mortgage Loan;
(61) Points and Fees. All points and fees related to each Mortgage Loan
were disclosed in writing to the Mortgagor in accordance with applicable state
and federal law and regulations;
(62) Arbitration. With respect to any Mortgage Loan originated on or after
August 1, 2004, neither the related Mortgage nor the related Mortgage Note
requires the Mortgagor to submit to arbitration to resolve any dispute arising
out of or relating in any way to the Mortgage Loan transaction; and
(63) Second Lien Mortgage Loans. With respect to each Second Lien Mortgage
Loan:
(a) No Negative Amortization of Related First Lien Loan. With
respect to second lien loans originated by Responsible Party under
an 80/20 program, the related first lien loan does not permit
negative amortization;
(b) No Default Under First Lien. To the best of Responsible
Party's knowledge, the related first lien loan is in full force and
effect, and there is no default lien, breach, violation or event
which would permit acceleration existing under such first lien
mortgage or 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 which would
permit acceleration under such first lien loan;
(c) Right to Cure First Lien. To the best of Responsible
Party's knowledge, the related first lien mortgage does not contain
a provision which prohibits such mortgagee from curing any default
under the related first lien mortgage; and
(d) Principal Residence. The related Mortgaged Property is the
Mortgagor's principal residence or second home.

Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as GSAMP Trust 2006-NC2 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the
Series specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the
"Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust
Fund created by the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Securities Administrator is not liable to the
Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any
liability under the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Securities Administrator.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made
on the 25th day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the
Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the
first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable
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
Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date for each
Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the applicable Interest Accrual
Period for the related Distribution Date; provided, however, that for any
Definitive Certificates, the Record Date shall be the last Business Day of the
month immediately preceding the month of such Distribution Date (or if such day
is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day).
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall
satisfy the conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the
Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of
such Certificateholder 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 offices designated by the
Securities Administrator for such purposes, or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Securities Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage
Interest, as provided in the Agreement. 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 therefor 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 of the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices designated by the
Securities Administrator for such purposes or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator 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 and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and 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, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The Depositor and the Securities Administrator and any agent of the
Depositor or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither
the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, nor any such agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 5% or 10%, as applicable,
of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, the Person specified in Section
11.01 of the Agreement will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the
Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate as
provided in Section 11.01 of the Agreement.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed
inconsistent with that meaning.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made

other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall
satisfy the conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the
Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of
such Certificateholder appearing in the Certificate Register. The final

presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices designated by the
Securities Administrator for such purposes or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the

Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage
Interest, as provided in the Agreement. 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 therefor 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 of the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices designated by the
Securities Administrator for such purposes or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders, accompanied by a written instrument of

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 and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the

No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer

therewith.
The Depositor and the Securities Administrator and any agent of the
Depositor or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name

the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, nor any such agent shall be

the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement.

designated as GSAMP Trust 2006-NC2 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the

"Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust
Fund created by the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Securities Administrator is not liable to the
Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any
liability under the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Securities Administrator.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution 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 (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the
first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable
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
Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date for each
Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the applicable Interest Accrual
Period for the related Distribution Date; provided, however, that for any
Definitive Certificates, the Record Date shall be the last Business Day of the
month immediately preceding the month of such Distribution Date (or if such day
is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day).
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder

Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage
Interest, as provided in the Agreement. 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 therefor 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

Securities Administrator for such purposes or such other location specified in

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 and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and 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, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The Depositor and the Securities Administrator and any agent of the
Depositor or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither
the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, nor any such agent shall be

This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as GSAMP Trust 2006-NC2 Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, of the
Series specified on the face hereof (herein collectively called the
"Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust
Fund created by the Agreement.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Distribution Account for
payment hereunder and that the Securities Administrator is not liable to the
Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any
liability under the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Securities Administrator.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution 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 (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the
first Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable
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
Holders of Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such
Distribution Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date for each
Distribution Date is the last Business Day of the applicable Interest Accrual
Period for the related Distribution Date; provided, however, that for any
Definitive Certificates, the Record Date shall be the last Business Day of the
month immediately preceding the month of such Distribution Date (or if such day
is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day).
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Securities Administrator in writing at least five
Business Days prior to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall
satisfy the conditions to receive such form of payment set forth in the
Agreement, or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of
such Certificateholder 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 offices designated by the
Securities Administrator for such purposes or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Securities Administrator and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Servicers, the
Securities Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates affected by such amendment evidencing the requisite Percentage
Interest, as provided in the Agreement. 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 therefor 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 of the Securities Administrator upon surrender of this
Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices designated by the
Securities Administrator for such purposes or such other location specified in
the notice to Certificateholders, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Administrator 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 and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates
without coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and 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, but the Securities Administrator may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The Depositor, the Servicers and the Securities Administrator and
any agent of the Depositor or the Securities Administrator may treat the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Securities Administrator, nor any such
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than or equal to 5% or 10%, as applicable,
of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, the Person specified in Section
11.01 of the Agreement will have the option to repurchase, in whole, from the
Trust Fund all remaining Mortgage Loans and all property acquired in respect of
the Mortgage Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate as
provided in Section 11.01 of the Agreement.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed
inconsistent with that meaning.

FORM OF RESIDUAL TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT
GSAMP Trust 2006-NC2,
Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates
STATE OF )
)ss.:
COUNTY OF )
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 June 1, 2006 (the "Agreement"), among GS Mortgage Securities Corp., as
depositor (the "Depositor"), NC Capital Corporation, as responsible party (the
"Responsible Party"), Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, as a servicer ("Ocwen"), New
Century Mortgage Corporation., as a servicer ("NCMC", and together with Ocwen,
the "Servicers"), Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee (the
"Trustee") and Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., as master servicer (the "Master
Servicer") and securities administrator (the "Securities Administrator").
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 Securities Administrator.
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(c) 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(c) 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 Securities Administrator a certificate
substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit I 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) and the Agreement.
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:
[_] 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.
[_] 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.
[ ] 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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to

shall arrange for the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan to GSMC and the
delivery to GSMC of any documents held by the Trustee or the Custodian, as the
case may be, relating to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase
or substitution, GSMC shall, simultaneously with such reassignment, give written
notice to the Depositor that such repurchase or substitution has taken place,
amend the applicable Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the
Deleted Mortgage Loan from this Agreement, and, in the case of substitution,
identify a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and amend the applicable Mortgage
Loan Schedule to reflect the addition of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
to this Agreement. In connection with any such substitution, GSMC shall be
deemed to have made as to such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan the
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement except that all such
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed made
as of the date of such substitution. GSMC shall effect such substitution by
delivering to the Trustee or the Custodian or to such other party as the
Depositor may designate in writing for such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan
the documents required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with the Mortgage
Note endorsed as required by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No
substitution will be made in any calendar month after the initial Determination
Date for such month. GSMC shall remit directly to the Depositor, or its designee
in accordance with the Depositor's instructions the monthly payment less the
Servicing Fee due, if any, on such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan or
Mortgage 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 shall be retained by GSMC. For the month of substitution,
distributions to the Depositor shall include the monthly payment due on any
Deleted Mortgage Loan in the month of substitution, and GSMC shall thereafter be
entitled to retain all amounts subsequently received by GSMC in respect of such
Deleted Mortgage Loan.
For any month in which GSMC substitutes a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, GSMC shall determine the amount (if
any) by which the aggregate principal balance of all Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated
Principal Balance of all Deleted Mortgage Loans (after application of scheduled
principal payments due in the month of substitution). The amount of such
shortfall, together with one month's interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate on
the Deleted Mortgage Loan, shall be distributed by GSMC directly to the
Depositor or its designee in accordance with the Depositor's instructions within
two (2) Business Days of such substitution.
Any cause of action against GSMC relating to or arising out of the
breach of any representations and warranties made in Section 2 shall accrue as
to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the Depositor or
notice thereof by GSMC to the Depositor, (ii) failure by GSMC to cure such
breach, repurchase such Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute
Mortgage Loan as specified above, and (iii) demand upon GSMC by the Depositor
for compliance with this Agreement.
(b) It is understood and agreed that the obligation of GSMC set
forth in Section 3(a) to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan in breach
of a representation or warranty contained in Section 2 constitutes the sole
remedy of the Depositor or any other person or entity with respect to such
breach.
(c) In the event a Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased due
to an early payment default under the Purchase Agreement, GSMC shall pay to
GSAMP Trust 2006-NC2 (the "Trust") the applicable repurchase price pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement.
Section 4. Document Delivery Requirements.
GSMC shall deliver to the Depositor all documents and instruments
required under Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect
to the Mortgage Loans. In the event any document or instrument required to be
delivered to the Depositor pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, including an original or copy of any document submitted for
recordation to the appropriate public recording office, is not so delivered to
the Depositor, and in the event that GSMC does not cure such failure within 60
days of discovery or receipt of written notification of such failure from the
Depositor, GSMC shall, at the Depositor's option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan
at the Repurchase Price, together with all expenses incurred by the Depositor as
a result of such repurchase.
Section 5. Term of Representation and Warranties.
The representations and warranties of GSMC set forth in Section 2
shall inure to the benefit of the Depositor and its successors and assigns until
all amounts payable to Certificateholders under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement have been paid in full.
Section 6. Execution in Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts,
when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of
which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same
Agreement.
Section 7. GOVERNING LAW.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARDS TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES.
Section 8. Severability of Provisions.
Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision
in any other jurisdiction.
Section 9. Captions.
The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.
Section 10. Successors and Assigns.
This Agreement shall insure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns. Any entity into which GSMC or the
Depositor may be merged or consolidated shall, without the requirement for any
further writing, be deemed GSMC or the Depositor, respectively, hereunder.

hereto.

INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENT

International Swap Dealers Association, Inc.
MASTER AGREEMENT
dated as of June 29, 2006
XXXXXXX XXXXX MITSUI MARINE and GSAMP TRUST 2006-NC2
DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS, L.P.
have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a
"Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which
includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming
evidence (each a "Confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming those
Transactions.
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:
1. Interpretation
(a) Definitions. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have
the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.
(b) Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of
the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule
will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any
Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such
Confirmation will prevail for the purposes of the relevant Transaction.
(c) Single Agreement. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the
fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement
between the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"), and the
parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.
2. Obligations
(a) General Conditions.
(i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each
Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement.
(ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value
on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant
Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely
transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the
required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by
payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the
manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in
the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.
(iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to
(1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing,
(2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of
the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and
(3) each other applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement.
(b) Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a
payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local
Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which
such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable
objection to such change.
(c) Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:--
(i) in the same currency; and
(ii) in respect of the same Transaction,
by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make
payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and,
if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party
exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other
party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate
amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the
larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount
will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the
same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such
amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made
in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above
will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election,
together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not,
or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may
be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply
separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive
payments or deliveries.
(d) Deduction or Withholding for Tax.
(i) Gross-Up. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any
deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such
deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by
the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in
effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party
("X") will:--
(1) promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement;
(2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be
deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be
deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under
this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that
such deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that
such amount has been assessed against Y;
(3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy),
or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such
payment to such authorities; and
(4) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to
the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement,
such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount
actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes,
whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would
have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.
However, X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to
the extent that it would not be required to be paid but for:--
(A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement
contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or
(B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to
Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would
not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing
authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on
or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into
(regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with
respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax
Law.
(ii) Liability. If: --
(1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice
of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any
deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required
to pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);
(2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and
(3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against
X,
then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability
resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such
liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any
related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or
perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).
(e) Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective
designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction,
a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the
extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest
(before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on
demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and
including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of
actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the
basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to
the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect
o-f the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any
obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other
party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation
or elsewhere in this Agreement.
3. Representations
Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed
to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into
and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the
termination of this Agreement) that:--

Credit Support Document to which it is a party and has taken all necessary
action to authorise such execution, delivery and performance;

have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in lull

and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and
subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general
application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding
in equity or at law)).
(b) Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has occurred
and is continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result
of its entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any
Credit Support Document to which it is a party.
(c) Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge,
threatened against it or any of its Affiliates any action, suit or proceeding at
law or in equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency or

enforceability against it of this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to
which it is a party or its ability to perform its obligations under this
Agreement or such Credit Support Document.

certain cases under subparagraph (iii) below, to such government or taxing
authority as the other party reasonably directs:--
(i) any forms, documents or certificates relating to taxation specified in
the Schedule or any Confirmation;
(ii) any other documents specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation;
and

deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax or with such
deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion,
execution or submission of such form or document would not materially
prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such
demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to such other party and to be executed and
to be delivered with any reasonably required certification,
in each case by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if
none is specified, as soon as reasonably practicable.
(b) Maintain Authorisations. It will use all reasonable efforts to maintain in
full force and effect all consents of any governmental or other authority that

Support Document to which it is a party and will use all reasonable efforts to
obtain any that may become necessary in the future.
(c) Comply with Laws. It will comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws and orders to which it may be subject if failure so to comply

by it under Section 3(f) to be accurate and true promptly upon learning of such
failure.
(e) Payment of Stamp Tax. Subject to Section 11, it will pay any Stamp Tax
levied or imposed upon it or in respect of its execution or performance of this
Agreement by a jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, organised, managed and
controlled, or considered to have its seat, or in which a branch or office
through which it is acting for the purpose of this Agreement is located ("Stamp
Tax Jurisdiction") and will indemnify the other party against any Stamp Tax
levied or imposed upon the other party or in respect of the other party's
execution or performance of this Agreement by any such Stamp Tax Jurisdiction
which is not also a Stamp Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the other party.
5. Events of Default and Termination Events
(a) Events of Default. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or,
if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity
of such party of any of the following events constitutes an event of default (an
"Event of Default") with respect to such party:--
(i) Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make, when due, any
payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e)
required to be made by it if such failure is not remedied on or before the
third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to the
party;
(ii) Breach of Agreement. Failure by the party to comply with or perform
any agreement or obligation (other than an obligation to make any payment
under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) or to give
notice of a Termination Event or any agreement or obligation under Section
4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with or performed by the party
in accordance with this Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or
before the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the
party;
(iii) Credit Support Default.
(1) Failure by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such
party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation to be
complied with or performed by it in accordance with any Credit
Support Document if such failure is continuing after any applicable
grace period has elapsed;
(2) the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or
the failing or ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full
force and effect for the purpose of this Agreement (in either case
other than in accordance with its terms) prior to the satisfaction
of all obligations of such party under each Transaction to which
such Credit Support Document relates without the written consent of
the other party; or
(3) the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims,
repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, or challenges the
validity of such Credit Support Document;
(iv) Misrepresentation. A representation (other than a representation
under Section 3(e) or (f)) made or repeated or deemed to have been made or
repeated by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party in this
Agreement or any Credit Support Document proves to have been incorrect or
misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have
been made or repeated;
(v) Default under Specified Transaction. The party, any Credit Support
Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party
(1) defaults under a Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any
applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation
of, an acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination of, that
Specified Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable
notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due
on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early
termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at
least three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice
requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or
rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is
taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act
on its behalf);
(vi) Cross Default. If "Cross Default" is specified in the Schedule as
applying to the party, the occurrence or existence of (1) a default, event
of default or other similar condition or event (however described) in
respect of such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any
applicable Specified Entity of such party under one or more agreements or
instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness of any of them
(individually or collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less than the
applicable Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has
resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable at
such time of being declared, due and payable under such agreements or
instruments, before it would otherwise have been due and payable or (2) a
default by such party, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified
Entity (individually or collectively) in making one or more payments on
the due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than the
applicable Threshold Amount under such agreements or instruments (after
giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period);
(vii) Bankruptcy. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or
any applicable Specified Entity of such party:--
(1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation,
amalgamation or merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay
its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to
pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general assignment,
arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors;
(4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a
judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any
bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting
creditors' rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or
liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition
instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A)
results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an
order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or
liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or
restrained in each case within 30 days of the institution or
presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its
winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant
to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes
subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional
liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other
similar official for it or for all or substantially all its assets;
(7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all
its assets or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration
or other legal process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or
substantially all its assets and such secured party maintains
possession, or any such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed
or restrained, in each case within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or
is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the
applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any
of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive); or (9)
takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to,
approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or
(viii) Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider
of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or
transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at
the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer:--
(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume
all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider
under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or
its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an
agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this
Agreement; or
(2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend
(without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such
resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under
this Agreement.
(b) Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or,
if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity
of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the
event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii)
below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and,
if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is
specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event
is specified pursuant to (v) below:--
(i) Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable
law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the
promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court,
tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any
applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a
result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which
will be the Affected Party): --
(1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a
payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect
of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision
of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or
(2) to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to
perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such
Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document
relating to such Transaction;
(ii) Tax Event. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or
brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on
which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is
taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a
Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or
there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding
Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an
additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section
2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or
6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be
deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of
interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is
required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other
than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));
(iii) Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the "Burdened Party") on the next
succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an
additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section
2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or
6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or
withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which
the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by
reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a
party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or
transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which
will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event
described in Section 5(a)(viii);
(iv) Credit Event Upon Merger. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified
in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party ("X"), any Credit
Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates
or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or
substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not
constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the
creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is
materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such
Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action
(and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate,
will be the Affected Party); or
(v) Additional Termination Event. If any "Additional Termination Event" is
specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence
of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties
shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the
Schedule or such Confirmation).
(c) Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would
otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an
Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event
of Default.
6. Early Termination
(a) Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of
Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred and is
then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by not more
than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of
Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an
Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however,
"Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule as applying to a
party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding transactions
will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an
Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the
extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the
institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant
petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default
specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).
(b) Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.
(i) Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will,
promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the
nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will
also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other
party may reasonably require.
(ii) Transfer to Avoid Termination Event. If either an Illegality under
Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected
Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the
Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to
designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all
reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss,
excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days
after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations
under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of
its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.
If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give
notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period,
whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after
the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).
Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject
to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party,
which consent will not be withheld if such other party's policies in
effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the
transferee on the terms proposed.
(iii) Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a
Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use
all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice
thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination
Event.
(iv) Right to Terminate. If: --
(1) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section
6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to
all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party
gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or
(2) an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon
Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event
Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,
either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case
of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event
or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected
Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a
Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is
only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other
party and provided that the relevant Termination Event is then continuing,
designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an
Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.
(c) Effect of Designation.
(i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section
6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so
designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination
Event is then continuing.
(ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination
Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in
respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but
without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount,
if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be
determined pursuant to Section 6(e).
(d) Calculations.
(i) Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the
occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the
calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will
provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail,
such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any
amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant
account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of
written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in
determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such
quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of
such quotation.
(ii) Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any
Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that
notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of
Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on
which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event).
Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under
applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the
Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination
Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable
Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding
and the actual number of days elapsed.
(e) Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the
following provisions shall apply based on the parties' election in the Schedule
of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation" or "Loss", and a payment method,
either the "First Method" or the "Second Method". If the parties fail to
designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed
that "Market Quotation" or the "Second Method", as the case may be, shall apply.
The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and
determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.
(i) Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event
of Default: --
(1) First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and
Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the
Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the
sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting
Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the
Non-defaulting Party over (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.
(2) First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the
Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive
number, the Non-Defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this
Agreement.
(3) Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and
Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the
sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting
Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the
Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is
a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the
Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting
Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting
Party.
(4) Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss apply, an
amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in
respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a positive number, the
Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a
negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute
value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.
(ii) Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a
Termination Event: --
(1) One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party, the amount
payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if
Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies,
except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and
to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the
Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party,
respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the
Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in
respect of all Terminated Transactions.
(2) Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties: --
(A) if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a
Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions,
and an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a)
one-half of the difference between the Settlement Amount of
the party with the higher Settlement Amount ("X") and the
Settlement Amount of the party with the lower Settlement
Amount ("Y") and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and
(B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in
respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the
Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all
Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable equal
to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party
with the higher Loss ("X") and the Loss of the party with the
lower Loss ("Y").
If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if
it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that
amount to Y.
(iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early
Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies in
respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be
subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to
reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under
this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from
the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined
under Section 6(d)(ii).
(iv) Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an
amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of
loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and
the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any
additional damages as a consequence of such losses.
7. Transfer
Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or
obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of
security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the
other party, except that: --
(a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all
or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any
other right or remedy under this Agreement); and
(b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any
amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).
Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.
8. Contractual Currency
(a) Payment in the Contractual Currency. Each payment under this Agreement
will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that
payment (the "Contractual Currency"). To the extent permitted by applicable law,
any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency
will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the
Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual
receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and
in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual
Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable
in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual
Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency
payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment
will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional
amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the
shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received
exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this
Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of
such excess.
(b) Judgments. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or
order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered
(i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for
the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this
Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the
payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking
recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is
entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive
immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual
Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other
currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the
Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in
such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any
variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is
converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such
judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting
in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received
into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the
amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party.
The term "rate of exchange" includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs
of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the
Contractual Currency.
(c) Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these
indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other
obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent
causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party
to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained
or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this
Agreement.
(d) Evidence of Loss. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient
for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual
exchange or purchase been made.
9. Miscellaneous
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement and
understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes
all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.
(b) Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this
Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by
a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an
exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system.
(c) Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and
6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the
termination of any Transaction.
(d) Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights,
powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and
not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law.
(e) Counterparts and Confirmations.
(i) This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect
of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by
facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original.
(ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each
Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or
otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable
and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile
transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of
electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case
will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to
this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another
effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message
constitutes a Confirmation.
(f) No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or
privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a
waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will
not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right,
power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
(g) Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
10. Offices; Multibranch Parties
(a) If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that
enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office
represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking office
or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the obligations
of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction through its
head or home office. This representation will be deemed to be repeated by such
party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into.
(b) Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives
payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior
written consent of the other party.
(c) If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such
Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any
Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through
which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction
will be specified in the relevant Confirmation.
11. Expenses
A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other party
for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and
Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the enforcement and
protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to
which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of
any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection.
12. Notices
(a) Effectiveness. Any notice or other communication in respect of this
Agreement may be given in any manner set forth below (except that a notice or
other communication under Section 5 or 6 may not be given by facsimile
transmission or electronic messaging system) to the address or number or in
accordance with the electronic messaging system details provided (see the
Schedule) and will be deemed effective as indicated:--
(i) if in writing and delivered in person or by courier, on the date it is
delivered;
(ii) if sent by telex, on the date the recipient's answerback is received;
(iii) if sent by facsimile transmission, on the date that transmission is
received by a responsible employee of the recipient in legible form (it
being agreed that the burden of proving receipt will be on the sender and
will not be met by a transmission report generated by the sender's
facsimile machine);
(iv) if sent by certified or registered mail (airmail, if overseas) or the
equivalent (return receipt requested), on the date that mail is delivered
or its delivery is attempted; or
(v) if sent by electronic messaging system, on the date that electronic
message is received,

in connection with this Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost
of funding or, at the election of such party but without duplication, loss or
cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or
reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from
any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any
payment or delivery required to have been made (assuming satisfaction of each
applicable condition precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date

"Market Quotation" means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions
and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of
quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount,
if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by
such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement
between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support Document
with a respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference
Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the "Replacement Transaction") that
would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of
any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or
contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent)
by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction
or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the
relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this
purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment
or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been
required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after
that Early Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction would
be subject to such determination as such party and the Reference Market-maker
may, in good faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its agent)
will request each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent
reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different
time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early
Termination Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be
obtained will be selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a
determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after
consultation with the other. If more than three quotations are provided, the
Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard
to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such
quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining
after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more
than one quotation has the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such
quotations shall be disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are provided, it
will be deemed that the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions cannot be determined.
"Non-default Rate" means a rate per annum equal to the cost (without proof or
evidence of any actual cost) to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it) if

the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default.

selected by the party determining a Market Quotation in good faith (a) from
among dealers of the highest credit standing which satisfy all the criteria that
such party applies generally at the time in deciding whether to offer or to make
an extension of credit and (b) to the extent practicable, from among such
dealers having an office in the same city.
"Relevant Jurisdiction" means, with respect to a party, the jurisdictions (a) in
which the party is incorporated, organised, managed and controlled or considered
to have its seat, (b) where an Office through which the party is acting for
purposes of this Agreement is located, (c) in which the party executes this
Agreement and (d) its relation to any payment, from or through which such
payment is made.
"Scheduled Payment Date" means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be
made under Section 2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction.
"Set-off" means set-off, offset, combination of accounts, right of retention or

under Section 6 is entitled or subject (whether arising under this Agreement,

on, such payer.
"Settlement Amount" means, with respect to a party and any Early Termination
Date, the sum of: --
(a) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotations (whether
positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions for which a Market Quotation is determined; and
(b) such party's Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to any
Unpaid Amounts) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions for which a Market Quotation cannot be determined or would not (in
the reasonable belief of the party making the determination) produce a
commercially reasonable result.

"Specified Indebtedness" means, subject to the Schedule, any obligation (whether
present or future, contingent or otherwise, as principal or surety or otherwise)
in respect of borrowed money.

(including an agreement with respect thereto) now existing or hereafter entered
into between one party to this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such
party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party) and the other party to
this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such other party or any
applicable Specified Entity of such other party) which is a rate swap
transaction, basis swap, forward rate transaction, commodity swap, commodity
option, equity or equity index swap, equity or equity index option, bond option,
interest rate option, foreign exchange transaction, cap transaction, floor
transaction, collar transaction, currency swap transaction, cross-currency rate
swap transaction, currency option or any other similar transaction (including

these transactions and (c) any other transaction identified as a Specified
Transaction in this Agreement or the relevant confirmation.
"Stamp Tax" means any stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax.
"Tax" means any present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or

"Termination Currency Equivalent" means, in respect of any amount denominated in
the Termination Currency, such Termination Currency amount and, in respect of
any amount denominated in a currency other than the Termination Currency (the

party making the relevant determination as being required to purchase such
amount of such Other Currency as at the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if
the relevant Market Quotation or Loss (as the case may be), is determined as of
a later date, that later date, with the Termination Currency at the rate equal
to the spot exchange rate of the foreign exchange agent (selected as provided
below) for the purchase of such Other Currency with the Termination Currency at
or about 11:00 a.m. (in the city in which such foreign exchange agent is
located) on such date as would be customary for the determination of such a rate
for the purchase of such Other Currency for value on the relevant Early
Termination Date or that later date. The foreign exchange agent will, if only
one party is obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), be selected in
good faith by that party and otherwise will be agreed by the parties.
"Termination Event" means an Illegality, a Tax Event or a Tax Event Upon Merger
or, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional
Termination Event.
"Termination Rate" means a rate per annum equal to the arithmetic mean of the

Date, the aggregate of (a) in respect of all Terminated Transactions, the

(b) in respect of each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under Section
2(a)(i) which was (or would have been but for Section 2(a)(iii)) required to be
settled by delivery to such party on or prior to such Early Termination Date and
which has not been so settled as at such Early Termination Date, an amount equal
to the fair market value of that which was (or would have been) required to be
delivered as of the originally scheduled date for delivery, in each case
together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the
currency of such amounts, from (and including) the date such amounts or
obligations were or would have been required to have been paid or performed to
(but excluding) such Early Termination Date, at the Applicable Rate. Such
amounts of interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the
actual number of days elapsed. The fair market value of any obligation referred
to in clause (b) above shall be reasonably determined by the party obliged to
make the determination under Section 6(e) or, if each party is so obliged, it
shall be the average of the Termination Currency Equivalents of the fair market
values reasonably determined by both parties.

obligations transferred to such transferee must
be guaranteed by Party A pursuant to a guaranty

Party B in order to permit such parties to
determine that such results will not occur upon or
after the transfer;
(v) Party A agrees to transfer only to a transferee in

expenses incurred in connection with such
transfer.
(vi) adding at the end of Section 7 the following sentence:
Except as may otherwise be stated in Section 7(c) hereof or in the
documentation evidencing a transfer, a transfer of all of the
obligations of Party A made in compliance with this Section will
constitute an acceptance and assumption of such obligations (and any
related interests so transferred) by the transferee, a novation of
the transferee in place of Party A with respect to such obligations
(and any related interests so transferred), and a release and
discharge by Party B of Party A from, and an agreement by Party B
not to make any claim for payment, liability, or otherwise against
Party A with respect to, such obligations from and after the
effective date of the transfer.

of an Event of Default or Termination Event or otherwise, all payments under
this Agreement will be made without setoff or counterclaim.

the Trade Date or other transaction date of each Transaction, Party A will send
to Party B a Confirmation. Party B will promptly thereafter request any
correction of such Confirmation (indicating how it believes the terms of such
Confirmation should be correctly stated and such other terms which should be
added to or deleted from such Confirmation to make it correct).
(f) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this
Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be
held to be invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part) for any reason, the
remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof shall continue in
full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the invalid or
unenforceable portion eliminated, so long as this Agreement as so modified
continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the
parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement and the deletion of such
portion of this Agreement will not substantially impair the respective benefits
or expectations of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that this
severability provision shall not be applicable if any provision of Section 2, 5,
6, or 13 (or any definition or provision in Section 14 to the extent it relates
to, or is used in or in connection with any such Section) shall be so held to be
invalid or unenforceable.

waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have
to trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement.

hereby amended by adding in the second line thereof after the word "Document"
and before the semicolon the words "(or such action is taken by any person or
entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act on its behalf)."
(i) Additional Representations. Section 3 is hereby amended by adding the
following additional subsections:
(i) No Agency. With respect to Party A, it is entering into this
Agreement and each Transaction as principal (and not as agent or in
any other capacity, fiduciary or otherwise) and, with respect to
Party B, Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association is entering into the
Agreement in its capacity as Securities Administrator of Party B.
(ii) Eligible Contract Participant. It is an "eligible contract
participant" as defined in the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act.
(iii) Non-Reliance. Party A is acting for its own account and Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, National Association is acting as Securities
Administrator for Party B. It has made its own independent decisions
to enter into that Transaction and as to whether that Transaction is
appropriate or proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon
advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary. It is not
relying on any communication (written or oral) of the other party as
investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into that
Transaction; it being understood that information and explanations
related to the terms and conditions of a Transaction shall not be
considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter into that
Transaction. No communication (written or oral) received from the
other party shall be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee as to
the expected results of that Transaction.
(iv) Assessment and Understanding; Status of Parties. It is capable
of assessing the merits of and understanding (on its own behalf or
through independent professional advice), and understands and
accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of that Transaction. It is
also capable of assuming, and assumes, the risks of that
Transaction. The other party is not acting as a fiduciary for or an
adviser to it in respect of that Transaction.
(j) RESERVED.
(k) Regarding Party A. Party B acknowledges and agrees that Party A has
had and will have no involvement in and, accordingly, accepts no responsibility
for: (i) the establishment, structure, or choice of assets of Party B; (ii) the
selection of any person performing services for or acting on behalf of Party B;
(iii) the selection of Party A as the counterparty; (iv) the terms of the
Certificates; (v) the preparation of or passing on the disclosure and other
information contained in any prospectus or prospectus supplement for the
Certificates, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or any other agreements or
documents used by Party B or any other party in connection with the marketing
and sale of the Certificates; (vi) the ongoing operations and administration of
Party B, including the furnishing of any information to Party B which is not
specifically required under this Agreement; or (vii) any other aspect of Party
B's existence except for those matters specifically identified in this
Agreement.
(l) No Recourse. The Certificates represent an equity interest in Party B
only and the foregoing does not represent an interest in or obligation of Party
A, and no recourse may be had by the holders of the Certificates against Party A
or its assets with respect to the Notes and the Certificates and/or this
Agreement.
(m) Indemnifiable Tax. Party A agrees that Party B will not be required to
pay any additional amounts pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement in
respect of an Indemnifiable Tax. If Party A is required to pay additional
amounts in respect of a withholding tax pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) of this
Agreement, Party A may transfer this Agreement, subject to satisfaction of the
Rating Agency Condition, as provided in Section 6(b)(ii) of this Agreement and
such transfer shall not require the consent of Party B to the extent it is in
conformance with the provisions of Section 7(c), as amended herein.
(n) Additional Termination Events.
(i) It shall be an Additional Termination Event, with Party A as the
sole Affected Party, if the Depositor determines at any time
that it is required for purposes of compliance with Item 1115(b)
of Regulation AB to provide any financial or other data relating
to Party A and, within 15 calendar days of such determination,
Party A fails to assign this Agreement and all of its
obligations hereunder (of its sole cost and expense) to a
substitute counterparty that (A) has agreed to provide any
financial or other data required under Regulation AB, (B) has
agreed to provide indemnifications relating to such financial or
other data acceptable to the Depositor, (C) satisfies the Rating
Agency Condition and (D) is approved by the Depositor (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). For the avoidance
of doubt, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, Party A
shall be under no obligation to provide any such financial or
other data, whether in connection with this Termination Event or
otherwise. For purposes of this Termination Event, (i)
"Commission" shall mean the Securities and Exchange Commission,
(ii) "Depositor" shall mean GS Mortgage Securities Corp., and
(iii) "Regulation AB" shall mean the Asset Backed Securities
Regulation AB, 17 C.F.R. ss.ss.229.1100-229.1123, as such may be
amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and
interpretation as have been provided by the Commission in the
adopting release (Asset-Backed Securities, Securities Act
Release No. 33-8518, 70 Fed. Reg. 1,506, 1,531 (Jan. 7, 2005))
or by the staff of the Commission, or as may be provided by the
Commission or its staff from time to time.
(ii) It shall also be an Additional Termination Event if (i) an
Optional Termination Date is designated pursuant to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement (a "Redemption Termination") and (ii)
there remains no more than 5 Business Days prior to the proposed
Redemption Date. In the case of a Redemption Termination, both
Party A and Party B shall have the right to cause a termination
of this Agreement and, for purposes of Section 6(e)(ii) of this
Agreement, Party B shall be the sole Affected Party. Following
notification from the Securities Administrator that it has
received a redemption notice, Party A shall provide the
Securities Administrator from time to time, upon request, with
good faith estimates of the amount that would be payable under
Section 6(e)(ii) in the event of such Redemption Termination.
Any termination payment payable in respect of such Additional
Termination Event shall be paid on the relevant Redemption Date.
(iii) (I) It shall also be an Additional Termination Event, with
Party A the sole Affected Party (except as expressly provided
herein) if Party A, a replacement counterparty, or a person or
an entity that guarantees the obligations of Party A or a
replacement counterparty, as the case may be, has a rating that
does not satisfy the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating (but is
at least "BBB-" or "A-3" (if applicable) by S&P and at least A1
by Moody's) and none of the following events has occurred:
(A) within 30 days of such failure to satisfy the
Required Hedge Counterparty Rating, Party A or
such replacement counterparty, as the case may be,
transfers this Agreement, in whole, but not in
part, to a counterparty that satisfies the
Required Hedge Counterparty Rating, subject to
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition;
(B) within 30 days of such failure to satisfy the
Required Hedge Counterparty Rating, Party A or
such replacement counterparty, as the case may
be, collateralizes its Exposure to Party B
pursuant to an ISDA Credit Support Annex,
subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition, as applicable; provided that such
ISDA Credit Support Annex shall be made a
Credit Support Document for Party A pursuant to
an amendment of this Agreement in a form
acceptable to the Securities Administrator
which amendment shall also be subject to
satisfaction of Rating Agency Condition;
(C) within 30 days of such failure to satisfy the
Required Hedge Counterparty Rating, the
obligations of Party A or such replacement
counterparty, as the case may be, under this
Agreement are guaranteed by a person or entity
that satisfies the Required Hedge Counterparty
Rating, subject to satisfaction of the Rating
Agency Condition; or
(D) within 30 days of such failure to satisfy the
Required Hedge Counterparty Rating, Party A or
such replacement counterparty, as the case may
be, takes such other steps, if any, to enable
the Issuer to satisfy the Rating Agency
Condition.
(II) It shall also be an Additional Termination Event,
with Party A as the sole Affected Party (except as
expressly provided herein) if Party A, a replacement
counterparty, or a person or an entity that guarantees
the obligations of Party A or a replacement
counterparty, as the case may be, has a rating withdrawn
or reduced below "BBB-" or "A-3" (if applicable) by S&P
or below "A1" by Moody's and within 7 days thereafter,
Party A or such replacement counterparty, as the case
may be, while collateralizing its Exposure to Party B,
fails to transfer this Agreement, in whole, but not in
part, to a counterparty that satisfies the Required
Hedge Counterparty Rating, subject to satisfaction of
the Rating Agency Condition.
Upon downgrade of Party A below the Required Hedge Counterparty
Rating or below "BBB-" or "A-3" (if applicable) by S&P or below
"A1" by Moody's, or if S&P or Moody's withdraws its ratings for
any reason, Party A will promptly give notice of the
circumstances to Party B and to the rating agencies that at the
time are providing ratings for the Certificates.
Party B shall be entitled to (A)(1) in case of an Additional
Termination Event described in Part 5(n)(iii)(I), designate a
date that is not earlier than the expiration of the 30 day
period referred to in Part 5(n)(iii)(I) as an Early Termination
Date in respect of all transactions under this Agreement by
giving notice to Party A at least 10 days prior to the date so
designated (which notice may be given prior to the expiration of
such 30 day period) and (2) in case of an Additional Termination
Event described in this Part 5(n)(iii)(II), immediately
designate an Early Termination Date, in respect of all
transactions under this Agreement by giving notice to Party A
and (B) no later than the respective dates specified in clause
(A)(1) and (A)(2), transfer the rights and obligations of Party
A hereunder to a counterparty that satisfies the Required Hedge
Counterparty Rating, subject to satisfaction of the Rating
Agency Condition.
In connection with a transfer of this Agreement as described in
this Part 5(n)(iii), Party A shall, at its sole cost and
expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek a
replacement counterparty. In addition, if Party A pursues any of
the alternative actions contemplated in paragraphs (A), (B), (C)
and (D) of Part 5(n)(iii)(I) above, it shall do so at its sole
cost and expense.
As used herein, "Required Hedge Counterparty Rating" means, with
respect to a counterparty or entity guaranteeing the obligations
of such counterparty, (x) either (i) if such counterparty or
entity has only a long-term rating by Moody's, a long-term
senior, unsecured debt obligation rating, financial program
rating or other similar rating (as the case may be, the
"Long-Term rating") of at least "A1" by Moody's and if rated
"A1" by Xxxxx'x is not on negative credit watch by Moody's or
(ii) if such counterparty or entity has a Long-Term Rating and a
short-term rating by Moody's, a Long-Term Rating of at least
"A2" by Moody's and a short-term rating of "P-1" by Moody's and,
in each case, such rating is not on negative credit watch by
Moody's and (y) (i) a short-term rating of at least "A-1" by S&P
or (ii) if such counterparty or entity does not have a
short-term rating by S&P, a Long-Term Rating of at least "A+" by
S&P.
For the purposes of determining the Settlement Amount with
respect to the designation of an Early Termination Date arising
from the Additional Termination Event specified in Party
5(n)(iii), both Party A and Party B shall be Affected Parties.
If the Settlement Amount calculated pursuant to this subclause
(iii) is an amount owing by Party B to Party A, then such
payment shall be a Swap Termination Payment payable by Party B
to Party A in accordance with the priority of payments described
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that
(a) if Party A does not after the exercise of commercially
reasonable efforts cause any of the conditions specified in Part
5(n)(iii)(I)(A) to (D) to be satisfied, Party B shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a replacement
Transaction(s) with a counterparty acceptable to the Rating
Agencies, in respect of the Affected Transaction(s) relating to
the Additional Termination Event; and (b) where multiple
quotations are available such replacement Transaction(s) shall
be entered into based on the quoted price(s) that would result
in the largest payment made to Party B by the replacement
counterparty (it being understood that Party A may be permitted
to actively solicit and obtain such quotations on behalf of
Party B); and (c) to the extent that payments are received by
Party B as a result of entering into such replacement
Transaction(s), then Party A shall have first priority as to
such payments versus all other creditors of Party B and Party B
shall pay the lesser of (x) the amount so received and (y) the
Swap Termination Payment to the extent not already paid by Party
B over to Party A immediately upon receipt.
As used herein, "Exposure" means, as of any date of
determination, the amount, if any, that would be payable to
Party B by Party A under this Agreement if an Early Termination
Date were to occur as of such date of determination as a result
of a Termination Event, Party A were the sole Affected Party,
all Transactions were terminated in connection with such Early
Termination Date and (solely for purposes of determining
Exposure) the amount of such payment were calculated using
Market Quotation.
For any Additional Termination Event, the date that Party A or Party
B, as the case may be, specifies in its notice of its election to
terminate shall be the Early Termination Date for the Transactions;
provided, that solely in the case of an Additional Termination Event
described in subclause (ii) above, the Early Termination Date shall
be no earlier than the 3rd Business Day preceding the Redemption
Date and no later than the Redemption Date.
(o) Indemnifiable Tax. The definition of "Indemnifiable Tax" in Section 14
is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Indemnifiable Tax" also means any
Tax imposed in respect of a payment under this Agreement by reason
of a Change in Tax Law by a government or taxing authority of a
Relevant Jurisdiction of the party making such payment, unless the
other party is incorporated, organized, managed and controlled, or
considered to have its seat in such jurisdiction, or is acting for
purposes of this Agreement through a branch or office located in
such jurisdiction.
(p) Limited Recourse; Non-petition. Party A agrees that the obligations of
Party B hereunder are limited recourse obligations payable solely from the
assets of Party B, and due to the extent funds are available for the payment
thereof in accordance with the priority of payments described in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement. Party A agrees that it will not, prior to the date which is
at least one year and one day or, if longer, the then applicable preference
period following the payment in full of all the Certificates issued pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the expiration of all applicable
preference periods under Title 11 of the United States Code or other applicable
law relating to any such payment, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or
cause Party B to invoke the process of any governmental authority for the
purpose of commencing or sustaining a case (whether voluntary or involuntary)
against Party B under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, securities administrator, custodian,
sequestrator or other similar official of Party B or any substantial part of its
property or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of Party B.
Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Party A from submitting a claim, or
proof of claim, in any proceeding or process instituted by or against Party B by
any person other than Party A or its Affiliates. Party A and Party B agree that
this Part 5(p) shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason
