Principal Balances of such Classes. For purposes of this definition and the
definition of "Subordination Level," the relative seniority, from highest to
lowest, of the Group I-B-L Regular Interests shall be as follows: Class I-B-1-L,

Amount"); provided, however, that if the amount specified in clause (B) of the

Principal Balances of such Classes. For purposes of this definition and the

lowest, of the Group II-X-X Regular Interests shall be as follows: Class

Loan originated for the purpose of refinancing an existing mortgage debt, the
lesser of (a) the Appraised Value (if any) of the Mortgaged Property at the time
the Mortgage Loan was originated or (b) the purchase price paid for the

divided by twelve, and any calculation of interest at such rate by reason of a
Payoff shall be based upon annual interest at such rate on the outstanding

the date of such payment-in-full. (Prepayment penalties are not payments of
principal and hence Payoffs do not include prepayment penalties.)
Payoff Earnings: For any Distribution Date with respect to each Mortgage
Loan on which a Payoff was received by the Master Servicer during the Payoff
Period, the aggregate of the interest earned by the Master Servicer from
investment of each such Payoff from the date of receipt of such Payoff until the

particular Class in the distributions allocated to such Class, "Percentage
Interest" shall mean the percentage equal to:
(i) with respect to any Certificate (other than the Residual and Class
II-A-3 Certificates), its Certificate Principal Balance divided by the

Principal Balance of the Certificates; provided, however, that the
percentage in clause (x) above shall be increased by one percent (1%) upon
the retirement of the Class II-A-3 Certificates;

security interest in the Conveyed Assets by the Company to the Trust to secure a
debt or other obligation of the Company. However, in the event that,
notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Conveyed Assets are held to be
the property of the Company, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held
or deemed to create a security interest in the Conveyed Assets, then

a grant by the Company to the Trust of, and the Company hereby grants to the

or any Primary Insurance Policy and proceeds of any VA guaranty and any
other insurance policy related to any Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool;
(II) All rights arising from or by virtue of the disposition of, or
collections with respect to, or insurance proceeds payable with respect to,
or claims against other persons with respect to, all or any part of the
collateral described in (I) above (including any accrued discount realized
on liquidation of any investment purchased at a discount);
(III) All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments,
documents, money, deposit accounts, goods, letters of credit,
letter-of-credit rights, oil, gas, and other minerals, and investment
property consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing;
and

deemed to be possession by the secured party or possession by a purchaser for
purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial
Code (including, without limitation, Sections 9-313 and 9-314 thereof) as in
force in the relevant jurisdiction; and
(d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed to
be notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from,
securities intermediaries, bailees or agents of, or persons holding for, the
Trust, as applicable, for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law.
The Company shall file such financing statements, and the Company and the
Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust at the direction of the Company shall, to
the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such other actions as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the Conveyed Assets, 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. In connection herewith,
the Trust shall
66
have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party and creditor under the
Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant jurisdiction.
Section 2.05. Delivery of Mortgage Files.
In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment referred to in Section
2.04, the Company, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does
deliver to, and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with,
the Trustee or Custodian the Mortgage Files, which shall at all times be
identified in the records of the Trustee or the Custodian, as applicable, as
being held by or on behalf of the Trust.

cause to be filed the UCC assignment or amendment referred to in clause (Y)(vii)
of the definition of "Mortgage File." In connection with its servicing of
Cooperative Loans, the Master Servicer will use its best efforts to file timely

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

Cut-Off Date and prior to the date of execution and delivery hereof, the

any bank or trust company approved by each of the Company and the Master
Servicer as Custodian of the documents or instruments referred to above in this
Section 2.05, and to enter into a Custodial Agreement for such purpose,
provided, however, that the Trustee shall be and remain liable for the acts of
any such Custodian only to the extent that it is responsible for its own acts
hereunder. Any documents delivered by the Company or the Master Servicer to the
Custodian, if any, shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Trustee for all
purposes hereunder; and any documents held by the Custodian, if any, shall be
deemed to be held by the Trustee for all purposes hereunder. Pursuant to the
Initial Custodial Agreement, the Initial Custodian shall perform
responsibilities of the Trustee with respect to the delivery, receipt,
examination and custody of the Mortgage Files on the Trustee's behalf, as
provided therein.
On or promptly after the Closing Date, the Master Servicer shall cause the
MERS(R) System to indicate that each MERS Loan, if any, has been assigned to
"State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Custodian/Trustee, without recourse" or
to "WaMu Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2002-S8 Trust, without
recourse" by including in the MERS(R) System computer files (a) the code
necessary to identify the Trustee and (b) the code necessary to identify the
series of the Certificates issued in connection with such Mortgage Loans;
provided, however, that in the event the Company acquired such Mortgage Loans
from an affiliate of the Company, then the Master Servicer need not cause the
MERS(R) System to indicate such assignment. The Master Servicer shall not alter
the codes referenced in this paragraph with respect to any MERS Loan during the
term of this Agreement except in connection with an assignment of such MERS Loan
or de-registration thereof from the MERS(R) System in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
Section 2.06. REMIC Election for REMIC I.
The Tax Matters Person, shall, on behalf of REMIC I, elect to treat REMIC I
as a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code and, if necessary,
under applicable state laws. Such election shall be included in the Form 1066
and any appropriate state return to be filed on behalf of REMIC I for its first
taxable year.
The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of REMIC I
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
The regular interests (as set forth in the table contained in the
Preliminary Statement hereto) relating to REMIC I are hereby designated as
"regular interests" in REMIC I for purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code.
The Class R-1 Residual Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of
"residual interest" in REMIC I for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code.
The REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest shall together
be deemed to be a separate series of beneficial interests in the assets of the
Trust consisting of the REMIC I Assets pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of the
Statutory Trust Statute.
68
The parties intend that the affairs of REMIC I shall constitute, and that
the affairs of REMIC I shall be conducted so as to qualify REMIC I as a REMIC.
In furtherance of such intention, the Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of
REMIC I: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, a federal tax
return using a calendar year as the taxable year and using an accrual method of
accounting for REMIC I when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other
applicable federal income tax laws; (b) make an election, on behalf of the
trust, for REMIC I to be treated as a REMIC on the federal tax return of REMIC I
for its first taxable year, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (c) prepare
and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Holders of the REMIC
I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest and the Trustee, all
information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance
with the REMIC Provisions, and make available the information necessary for the
application of Section 860E(e) of the Code; (d) conduct the affairs of REMIC I
at all times that any REMIC I Regular Interests are outstanding so as to
maintain the status of REMIC I as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions; (e) not
knowingly or intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would
cause the termination of the REMIC status of REMIC I; and (f) pay the amount of
any federal prohibited transaction penalty taxes imposed on REMIC I when and as
the same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the
Company or any other appropriate person from contesting any such tax in
appropriate proceedings and shall not prevent the Company from withholding
payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such
proceedings); provided, that the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified by
REMIC I for any such prohibited transaction penalty taxes if the Company's
failure to exercise reasonable care was not the primary cause of the imposition
of such prohibited transaction penalty taxes.
The Trustee and the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Company with
such information in the possession of the Trustee or the Master Servicer,
respectively, as the Company may from time to time request for the purpose of
enabling the Company to prepare tax returns.
In the event that a Mortgage Loan is discovered to have a defect which, had
such defect been discovered before the startup day, would have prevented such
Mortgage Loan from being a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code, and the Company does not repurchase such Mortgage Loan
within 90 days of such date, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee,
shall within 90 days of the date such defect is discovered sell such Mortgage
Loan at such price as the Master Servicer in its sole discretion, determines to
be the greatest price that will result in the purchase thereof within 90 days of
such date, unless the Master Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that continuing to hold such Mortgage Loan will not
adversely affect the status of the electing portion of REMIC I as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of REMIC
I as defined in Section 860F of the Code and not paid by the Company pursuant to
clause (f) of the third preceding paragraph, such tax shall be charged against
amounts otherwise distributable to the Class R-1 Residual Interest.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Trustee is hereby
authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class R-1
Residual Interest on any Distribution Date sufficient funds to reimburse the Tax
Matters Person (or any agent therefor appointed in accordance with the
definition of "Tax Matters Person" herein, if applicable), for the payment of
such tax (upon the written request of the Tax Matters
69
Person or its agent, to the extent reimbursable, and to the extent that the Tax
Matters Person or its agent has not been previously reimbursed therefor).
Section 2.07. Acceptance by Trustee. The Trustee acknowledges receipt (or
with respect to any Mortgage Loan subject to a Custodial Agreement, receipt by
the Custodian thereunder) on behalf of the Trust of the documents (or certified
copies thereof as specified in Section 2.05) referred to in Section 2.05 above,
but without having made the review required to be made within 45 days pursuant
to this Section 2.07. The Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the Trust, to
review (or cause the Initial Custodian to review) each Mortgage File within 45
days after the Closing Date and deliver to the Company a certification (or cause
the Initial Custodian to deliver to the Company a certification, which satisfies
the applicable requirements of this Agreement) in the form attached as Exhibit M
hereto, to the effect that, except as noted, all documents required (in the case
of instruments described in clauses (X)(iv) and (Y)(ix) of the definition of
"Mortgage File," known by the Trustee to be required) pursuant to the definition
of "Mortgage File" and Section 2.05 have been executed and received, and that
such documents relate to the Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule. In performing such review, the Trustee may rely upon the purported
genuineness and due execution of any such document, and on the purported
genuineness of any signature thereon. The Trustee shall not be required to make
any independent examination of any documents contained in each Mortgage File
beyond the review specifically required herein. The Trustee makes no
representations as to: (i) the validity, legality, enforceability or genuineness
of any of the Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or (ii)
the collectability, insurability, effectiveness or suitability of any Mortgage
Loan. If the Trustee finds any document or documents constituting a part of a
Mortgage File not to have been executed or received, or to be unrelated to the
Mortgage Loans identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Trustee shall
promptly so notify the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that, if
any such defect cannot be corrected or cured, the Company shall, not later than
60 days after the Trustee's notice to it respecting such defect, within the
three-month period commencing on the Closing Date (or within the two-year period
commencing on the Closing Date if the related Mortgage Loan is a "defective
obligation" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and
Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(f)), either (i) repurchase the related
Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the Purchase Price, or (ii) substitute for any
Mortgage Loan to which such defect relates a different mortgage loan (a
"Substitute Mortgage Loan") which is a "qualified replacement mortgage" (as
defined in the Code) and, (iii) after such three-month or two-year period, as
applicable, the Company shall repurchase the Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the
Purchase Price but only if the Mortgage Loan is in default or default is, in the
judgment of the Company, reasonably imminent. If such defect would cause the
Mortgage Loan to be other than a "qualified mortgage" (as defined in the Code),
then notwithstanding the previous sentence, or any provision in the definition
of "Purchase Price," the repurchase or substitution must occur within the sooner
of (i) 90 days from the date the defect was discovered or (ii) in the case of
substitution, two years from the Closing Date.
Such Substitute Mortgage Loan shall mature no later than, and not more than
two years earlier than, have a principal balance and Loan-to-Value Ratio equal
to or less than, and have a Pass-Through Rate on the date of substitution equal
to or no more than 1 percentage point greater than the Mortgage Loan being
substituted for. If the aggregate of the principal balances of the Substitute
Mortgage Loans substituted for a Mortgage Loan is less than the Principal
Balance of
70
such Mortgage Loan, the Company shall pay the difference in cash, together with
unpaid accrued interest, if any, on the difference between the aggregate of the
principal balances of the Substitute Mortgage Loans and the Principal Balance of
such Mortgage Loan during the calendar month in which the substitution occurs to
the last day of such month at a rate equal to the applicable Pass-Through Rate,
to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account, and such payment by the
Company shall be treated in the same manner as proceeds of the repurchase by the
Company of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.07. Furthermore, such
Substitute Mortgage Loan shall otherwise have such characteristics so that the
representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 2.08 hereof
would not have been incorrect had such Substitute Mortgage Loan originally been
a Mortgage Loan, and the Company shall be deemed to have made such
representations and warranties as to such Substitute Mortgage Loan. A Substitute
Mortgage Loan may be substituted for a defective Mortgage Loan whether or not
such defective Mortgage Loan is itself a Substitute Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Substitute Mortgage Loan
shall be deemed to have the same Pass-Through Rate as the Mortgage Loan for
which it was substituted.
The Purchase Price for each purchased or repurchased Mortgage Loan shall be
deposited by the Company in the Certificate Account and, upon receipt by the
Trustee of written notification of such deposit signed by a Servicing Officer,
the Trustee shall (or, if applicable, shall cause the Custodian to) release to
the Company the related Mortgage File and shall execute and deliver (or, in the
event that the Mortgage Files are held in the name of the Custodian, shall cause
the Custodian to execute and deliver) on behalf of the Trust such instruments of
transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to
vest in the Company or its designee or assignee title to any Mortgage Loan
released pursuant hereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, if such Mortgage Loan
is a MERS Loan and as a result of the repurchase thereof such Mortgage Loan
shall cease to be serviced by a servicer that is a member of MERS or if the
Company or its assignee shall so request, the Master Servicer shall cause MERS
to execute and deliver an assignment of the Mortgage in recordable form from
MERS to the Company or its assignee and shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be
removed from registration on the MERS(R) System in accordance with MERS' rules
and procedures. The obligation of the Company to repurchase or substitute any
Mortgage Loan as to which such a defect in a constituent document exists shall
constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to the Trust or the
Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests or the Class R-1 Residual Interest.
Section 2.08. Representations and Warranties of the Company Concerning the
Mortgage Loans. With respect to the conveyance of the Mortgage Loans provided
for in Section 2.04 herein, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the

It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set

Files to the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be, and shall continue

foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely affects
the value of the related Mortgage Loans or the interests of the Trust in the
related Mortgage Loans, the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the
Custodian, as the case may be, discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the others. Within 90 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice
of breach, the Company shall repurchase, subject to the limitations set forth in
the definition of "Purchase Price," or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan
or Mortgage Loans or any property acquired in respect thereof from the Trust,
unless it has cured such breach in all material respects. After the end of the

be made only if the Company provides to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
addressed to the Trust and the Trustee reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee
that each Substitute Mortgage Loan will be a "qualified replacement mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4) of the Code. Such substitution shall be
made in the manner and within the time limits set forth in Section 2.07. Any
such repurchase by the Company shall be accomplished in the manner and at the
Purchase Price, if applicable, but shall not be subject to the time limits, set
forth in Section 2.07. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Company to provide such substitution or to make such repurchase of any affected
Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans or any property acquired in respect thereof as
to which a breach has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such breach available to the Holders of the REMIC I Regular
Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest or the Trustee on behalf of the
Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest.
Section 2.09. Acknowledgment of Transfer of Mortgage Pool Assets. The
Trustee hereby acknowledges and accepts on behalf of the Trust the transfer and
assignment to the Trust of the Mortgage Pool Assets, but without having made the
review required to be made within 45 days pursuant to Section 2.07, and declares
that as of the Closing Date it holds and shall hold any documents constituting a
part of the Mortgage Pool Assets, and the Mortgage Pool Assets, as Trustee in
trust, upon the trust herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present
and future Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual
Interest. In connection therewith, as of the Closing Date, in exchange for the
Mortgage Pool Assets, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust does hereby issue to
the Company the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest.
Section 2.10. Conveyance of REMIC I Regular Interests; Security Interest.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, the Company does hereby
irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over, and otherwise convey to the Trust,
without recourse, all the Company's right, title and interest in and to the
REMIC II Assets, including all interest and principal received by the Company on
or with respect to the REMIC I Regular Interests after the Cut-Off Date.
Pursuant to Section 3818 of the Statutory Trust Statute, the REMIC I Regular
Interests shall not be cancelled and shall be held as treasury interests owned
by the Trust. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance
of the REMIC II Assets to the Trust by the
75
Company as provided in this Section 2.10 be, and be construed as, an absolute
sale of the REMIC II Assets. It is, further, not the intention of the parties
that such conveyance be deemed the grant of a security interest in the REMIC II
Assets by the Company to the Trust to secure a debt or other obligation of the
Company. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties,
the REMIC II Assets are held to be the property of the Company, or if for any
other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in
the REMIC II Assets, then
(a) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement;
(b) the conveyance provided for in this Section 2.10 shall be deemed to be
a grant by the Company to the Trust of, and the Company hereby grants to the
Trust, to secure all of the Company's obligations hereunder, a security interest
in all of the Company's right, title, and interest, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in and to:
(I) The REMIC I Regular Interests, including without limitation all
rights represented thereby in and to (i) the Mortgage Loans identified on
the Mortgage Loan Schedule, including the related Mortgage Notes,
Mortgages, Cooperative Stock Certificates, Cooperative Leases, Security
Agreements, Assignments of Proprietary Lease, and Recognition Agreements,
all Substitute Mortgage Loans and all distributions with respect to such
Mortgage Loans and Substitute Mortgage Loans payable on and after the
Cut-Off Date, (ii) the Certificate Account, the Investment Account and all
money or other property held therein, and the Custodial Accounts for P&I,
the Custodial Accounts for Reserves and any Buydown Fund Account (to the
extent of the amounts on deposit therein attributable to the Mortgage
Loans); (iii) amounts paid or payable by the insurer under any FHA
insurance policy or any Primary Insurance Policy and proceeds of any VA
guaranty and any other insurance policy related to any Mortgage Loan or the
Mortgage Pool; and (iv) all rights arising from or by virtue of the
disposition of, or collections with respect to, or insurance proceeds
payable with respect to, or claims against other persons with respect to,
all or any part of the collateral described in (i)-(iii) above (including
any accrued discount realized on liquidation of any investment purchased at
a discount);
(II) All accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, instruments,
documents, money, deposit accounts, goods, letters of credit,
letter-of-credit rights, oil, gas, and other minerals, and investment
property consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing;
and
(III) All proceeds of the foregoing;
(c) the possession by the Trust of any of the foregoing property shall be
deemed to be possession by the secured party or possession by a purchaser for
purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial
Code (including, without limitation, Sections 9-313 and 9-314 thereof) as in
force in the relevant jurisdiction; and
(d) notifications to persons holding such property, and acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from persons holding such property, shall be deemed
notifications to, or
76
acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, securities intermediaries,
bailees or agents of, or persons holding for, the Trust, as applicable, for the
purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law.
The Company shall file such financing statements, and the Company and the
Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust at the direction of the Company shall, to
the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such other actions as may be
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the REMIC II Assets, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be
maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. In connection
herewith, the Trust shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party
and creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code as in force in the relevant
jurisdiction.
The Trustee is authorized, with the Master Servicer's consent, to appoint
any bank or trust company approved by each of the Company and the Master
Servicer as Custodian of the documents or instruments referred to above in this
Section 2.10, and to enter into a Custodial Agreement for such purpose;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall be and remain liable for actions of
any such Custodian only to the extent it would otherwise be responsible for such
acts hereunder. Any documents delivered by the Company or the Master Servicer to
the Custodian, if any, shall be deemed to have been delivered to the Trustee for
all purposes hereunder; and any documents held by the Custodian, if any, shall
be deemed to be held by the Trustee for all purposes hereunder. Pursuant to the
Initial Custodial Agreement, the Initial Custodian shall perform
responsibilities of the Trustee with respect to the delivery, receipt,
examination and custody of the Mortgage Files on the Trustee's behalf, as
provided therein.
Section 2.11. REMIC Election for REMIC II.
The Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of REMIC II, elect to treat REMIC
II as a REMIC within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code and, if necessary,
under applicable state laws. Such election shall be included in the Form 1066
and any appropriate state return to be filed on behalf of REMIC II for its first
taxable year.
The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of REMIC II
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
The regular interests (as set forth in the table contained in the
Preliminary Statement hereto) relating to REMIC II are hereby designated as
"regular interests" in REMIC II for purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code.
The Class R-2 Residual Interest is hereby designated as the sole class of
"residual interest" in REMIC II for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code.
The REMIC II Regular Interests and the Class R-2 Residual Interest shall
together be deemed to be a separate series of beneficial interests in the assets
of the Trust consisting of the REMIC II Assets pursuant to Section 3806(b)(2) of
the Statutory Trust Statute.
The parties intend that the affairs of REMIC II shall constitute, and that
the affairs of REMIC II shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a REMIC. In
furtherance of such intention, the Tax Matters Person shall, on behalf of REMIC
II: (a) prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, a federal tax
return using a calendar year as the taxable year for REMIC II
77
when and as required by the REMIC provisions and other applicable federal income
tax laws; (b) make an election, on behalf of REMIC II, to be treated as a REMIC
on the federal tax return of REMIC II for its first taxable year, in accordance
with the REMIC provisions; (c) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and
forwarded, to the Certificateholders and the Holders of the Class R-2 Residual
Interest all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in
accordance with the REMIC provisions; (d) conduct the affairs of REMIC II at all
times that any of the Certificates are outstanding so as to maintain the status
of REMIC II as a REMIC under the REMIC provisions; (e) not knowingly or
intentionally take any action or omit to take any action that would cause the
termination of the REMIC status of REMIC II; and (f) pay the amount of any
federal prohibited transaction penalty taxes imposed on REMIC II when and as the
same shall be due and payable (but such obligation shall not prevent the Company
or any other appropriate person from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings and shall not prevent the Company from withholding payment of such
tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings); provided,
that the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified from REMIC II for any such
prohibited transaction penalty taxes if the Company's failure to exercise
reasonable care was not the primary cause of the imposition of such prohibited
transaction penalty taxes.
In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions" of REMIC
II as defined in Section 860F of the Code and not paid by the Company pursuant
to clause (f) of the preceding paragraph, such tax shall be charged against
amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R-2 Residual
Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company
is hereby authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the
Holders of the Class R-2 Residual Interest on any Distribution Date sufficient
funds to reimburse the Company for the payment of such tax (to the extent that
the Company has not been previously reimbursed therefor).
Section 2.12. Acknowledgement of Transfer of REMIC II Assets;
Authentication of Certificates. The Trustee hereby acknowledges and accepts on
behalf of the Trust the assignment to the Trust of the REMIC II Assets and
declares that as of the Closing Date it holds and shall hold any documents
constituting a part of the REMIC II Assets, and the REMIC II Assets, as Trustee
in trust, upon the trust herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all
present and future Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class R
Certificates) and the Class R-2 Residual Interest. In connection therewith, as
of the Closing Date, in exchange for the REMIC II Assets, the Trustee on behalf
of the Trust shall cause to be authenticated and delivered, upon and pursuant to
the order of the Company, the Certificates in Authorized Denominations.
Section 2.13. Legal Title. Legal title to all assets of the Trust shall be
vested at all times in the Trust as a separate legal entity.
Section 2.14. Compliance with ERISA Requirements. For purposes of ensuring
compliance with the requirements of the "underwriter's exemption" (U.S.
Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2000-58, 65 Fed. Reg. 67765
(Nov. 13, 2000)), issued under ERISA, and for the avoidance of any doubt as to
the applicability of other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent permitted
by applicable law and except as contemplated by this Agreement, (1) the Trust
shall not be a party to any merger, consolidation or reorganization, or
liquidate or sell its assets and (2) so long as any Certificates are
outstanding, none of the
78
Company, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall institute against the Trust,
or join in any institution against the Trust of, any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
ARTICLE III
Administration and Servicing of Mortgage Loans
Section 3.01. The Company to Act as Master Servicer. The Company shall act
as Master Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loans on behalf of the
Trust in accordance with the terms hereof, consistent with prudent mortgage loan
servicing practices and (unless inconsistent with prudent mortgage loan
servicing practices) in the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill,
prudence and diligence with which, it services and administers similar mortgage
loans for other portfolios, and shall have full power and authority to do or
cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and
administration which a prudent servicer of mortgage loans would do under similar
circumstances, including, without limitation, the power and authority to bring
actions and defend the Mortgage Pool Assets on behalf of the Trust in order to
enforce the terms of the Mortgage Notes. The Master Servicer may perform its
master servicing responsibilities through agents or independent contractors, but
shall not thereby be released from any of its responsibilities hereunder and the
Master Servicer shall diligently pursue all of its rights against such agents or
independent contractors.
The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect or cause to be
collected all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage
Loans and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this
Agreement and the terms and provisions of any Primary Insurance Policy, any FHA
insurance policy or VA guaranty, any hazard insurance policy, and federal flood
insurance, cause to be followed such collection procedures as are followed with
respect to mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans and held in
portfolios of responsible mortgage lenders in the local areas where each
Mortgaged Property is located. The Master Servicer shall enforce "due-on-sale"
clauses with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, to the extent permitted by
law, subject to the provisions set forth in Section 3.08.
Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may, in accordance with
prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, (i) waive or cause to be waived any
assumption fee or late payment charge in connection with the prepayment of any
Mortgage Loan and (ii) only upon determining that the coverage of any applicable
insurance policy or guaranty related to a Mortgage Loan will not be materially
adversely affected, arrange a schedule, running for no more than 180 days after
the first delinquent Due Date, for payment of any delinquent installment on any
Mortgage Note or for the liquidation of delinquent items. Subject to the fourth
sentence of this paragraph, the Master Servicer shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to purchase any Mortgage Loan delinquent 90 consecutive days or
more for an amount equal to its Purchase Price; provided, however, that the
aggregate Purchase Price of Mortgage Loans so purchased pursuant to this
sentence shall not exceed one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the aggregate
Principal Balance, as of the Cut-Off Date, of all Mortgage Loans. Subject to the
fourth sentence of this paragraph, the Master Servicer shall also have the
right, but not the obligation, to purchase, for an amount equal to its Purchase
Price, any Mortgage Loan delinquent
79
90 consecutive days or more, for the purpose of requiring the Person who sold
such Mortgage Loan to the Company to repurchase such Mortgage Loan based on a
breach of a representation or warranty made by such Person in connection with
the Company's purchase or acquisition of such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding two sentences, the Master Servicer's right to purchase any
Mortgage Loan pursuant to either of such preceding sentences shall be subject to
the following additional conditions: (x) if the date on which the Mortgage Loan
first became 90-day delinquent (the "Initial Delinquency Date") occurred during
the first two calendar months of a calendar quarter, the Master Servicer may
exercise the purchase right during the period commencing on the Initial
Delinquency Date and ending on the last Master Servicer Business Day of such
calendar quarter, (y) if the Initial Delinquency Date occurred during the third
calendar month of a calendar quarter, the Master Servicer may exercise the
purchase right during the period commencing on the first day of the immediately
succeeding calendar quarter and ending on the last Master Servicer Business Day
of such succeeding calendar quarter and (z) if the Master Servicer does not
exercise the purchase right with respect to a Mortgage Loan during the period
specified in clause (x) or (y), as applicable, such Mortgage Loan shall
thereafter again become eligible for purchase pursuant to the preceding two
sentences only after the Mortgage Loan ceases to be 90-day delinquent and
thereafter becomes 90-day delinquent again. For purposes of this paragraph, a
Mortgage Loan is considered delinquent for 90 consecutive days if a Monthly
Payment is not received by the first day of the third month following the month
during which such payment was due.
Consistent with the terms of this Section 3.01, the Master Servicer may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Mortgage Loan or consent to the
postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant
indulgence to any Mortgagor if it has determined, exercising its good faith
business judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the
related Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full
collectability of, such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected by such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence; provided, however, that
(unless the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Mortgage Loan or in the
reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer such default is imminent) the Master
Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to any Mortgage Loan
that would (i) change the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate, defer or forgive
the payment of any principal or interest, reduce the outstanding principal
balance (except for actual payments of principal) or extend the final maturity
date with respect to such Mortgage Loan, or (ii) be inconsistent with the terms
of any applicable Primary Insurance Policy, FHA insurance policy, VA guaranty,
hazard insurance policy or federal flood insurance policy. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit any modification with respect to
any Mortgage Loan that would both constitute a sale or exchange of such Mortgage
Loan within the meaning of Section 1001 of the Code (including any proposed,
temporary or final regulations promulgated thereunder) (other than in connection
with a proposed conveyance or assumption of such Mortgage Loan that is treated
as a Principal Prepayment or in a default situation) and cause any REMIC to fail
to qualify as such under the Code. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to
approve a request from a Mortgagor for a partial release of the related
Mortgaged Property, the granting of an easement thereon in favor of another
Person, any alteration or demolition of the related Mortgaged Property or other
similar matters if it has determined, exercising its good faith business
judgment in the same manner as it would if it were the owner of the related
Mortgage Loan, that the security for, and the timely and full collectability of,
such Mortgage Loan would not be adversely affected thereby and that REMIC I and
REMIC II would not fail to continue to
80
qualify as REMICs under the Code as a result thereof and that no tax on
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the startup day would be
imposed on any REMIC as a result thereof.
The Master Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trust to
execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered on behalf of the
Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class R-1 Residual Interest,
and the Trust or any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge or modification,
assignments of Mortgages and endorsements of Mortgage Notes in connection with
refinancings (in jurisdictions where such assignments are the customary and
usual standard of practice of mortgage lenders) and all other comparable
instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and with respect to the
Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer is hereby further authorized and
empowered by the Trust to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered on behalf of the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the
Class R-1 Residual Interest and the Trust, or any of them, such instruments of
assignment or other comparable instruments as the Master Servicer shall, in its
sole judgment, deem appropriate in order to register any Mortgage Loan on the
MERS(R) System or to cause the removal of any Mortgage Loan from registration
thereon. Any expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in the
preceding sentence shall be borne by the Master Servicer with no right of
reimbursement; provided, however, that any such expenses incurred as a result of
any termination by MERS of the MERS(R) System shall be reimbursable to the
Master Servicer. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute and furnish to
the Master Servicer, at the Master Servicer's direction, any powers of attorney
and other documents prepared by the Master Servicer and determined by the Master
Servicer to be necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry
out its supervisory, servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.
The Master Servicer and each Servicer shall obtain (to the extent generally
commercially available) and maintain fidelity bond and errors and omissions
coverage acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac with respect to their
obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Selling and Servicing
Contract, respectively. The Master Servicer or each Servicer, as applicable,
shall establish escrow accounts for, or pay when due (by means of an advance),
any tax liens in connection with the Mortgaged Properties that are not paid by
the Mortgagors when due to the extent that any such payment would not constitute
a Nonrecoverable Advance when made.
In connection with the servicing and administering of each Mortgage Loan,
the Master Servicer and any affiliate of the Master Servicer (i) may perform
services such as appraisals, default management and (in the case of affiliates
only) brokerage services that are not customarily provided by servicers of
mortgage loans, and shall be entitled to reasonable compensation therefor and
(ii) may, at its own discretion and on behalf of the Trust, obtain credit
information in the form of a "credit score" from a credit repository.
Section 3.02. Custodial Accounts and Buydown Fund Accounts. The Master
Servicer shall cause to be established and maintained by each Servicer under the
Master Servicer's supervision the Custodial Account for P&I, Buydown Fund
Accounts (if any) and special Custodial Account for Reserves and shall deposit
or cause to be deposited therein daily the amounts related to the Mortgage Loans
required by the Selling and Servicing Contracts to be so deposited. Proceeds
received with respect to individual Mortgage Loans from any title, hazard,
81
or FHA insurance policy, VA guaranty, Primary Insurance Policy or other
insurance policy (other than any Special Primary Insurance Policy) covering such
Mortgage Loans, if required for the restoration or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property, may be deposited either in the Custodial Account for
Reserves or the Custodial Account for P&I. Such proceeds (other than proceeds
from any Special Primary Insurance Policy), if not required for the restoration
or repair of the related Mortgaged Property, shall be deposited in the Custodial
Account for P&I, and shall be applied to the balances of the related Mortgage
Loans as payments of interest and principal.
The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to make withdrawals from and to
issue drafts against the Custodial Accounts for P&I and the Custodial Accounts
for Reserves for the purposes required or permitted by this Agreement. Each
Custodial Account for P&I and each Custodial Account for Reserves shall bear a
designation clearly showing the respective interests of the applicable Servicer,
as trustee, and of the Master Servicer, in substantially one of the following
forms:
(a) With respect to the Custodial Account for P&I: (i) [Servicer's
Name], as agent, trustee and/or bailee of principal and interest custodial
account for Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp., its successors and
assigns, for various owners of interests in Washington Mutual Mortgage
Securities Corp. mortgage-backed pools or (ii) [Servicer's Name] in trust
for Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp.;
(b) With respect to the Custodial Account for Reserves: (i)
[Servicer's Name], as agent, trustee and/or bailee of taxes and insurance
custodial account for Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp., its
successors and assigns for various mortgagors and/or various owners of
interests in Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp. mortgage-backed
pools or (ii) [Servicer's Name] in trust for Washington Mutual Mortgage
Securities Corp. and various Mortgagors.
The Master Servicer hereby undertakes to assure remittance to the
Certificate Account of all amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans that have been
collected by any Servicer and are due to the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 4.01 of this Agreement.
Funds held in the Custodial Account for P&I and the Custodial Account for
Reserves may, at the Master Servicer's option, be invested in (i) one or more
Eligible Investments which shall in no event mature later than the Business Day
prior to the related Withdrawal Date (except if such Eligible Investments are
obligations of the Trustee, such Eligible Investments may mature on the
Withdrawal Date), or (ii) such other instruments as shall be required to
maintain the Ratings.
Section 3.03. The Investment Account; Eligible Investments.(a) Not later
than the Withdrawal Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw or direct the
withdrawal of funds in the Custodial Accounts for P&I, for deposit in the
Investment Account, in an amount representing:
(i) Scheduled installments of principal and interest on the Mortgage
Loans received or advanced by the applicable Servicers which were due on
the related Due Date, net of Servicing Fees due the applicable Servicers
and less any amounts to be
82
withdrawn later by the applicable Servicers from the applicable Buydown
Fund Accounts;
(ii) Payoffs and the proceeds of other types of liquidations of the
Mortgage Loans received by the applicable Servicer for such Mortgage Loans
during the applicable Payoff Period, with interest to the date of Payoff or
liquidation less any amounts to be withdrawn later by the applicable
Servicers from the applicable Buydown Fund Accounts; and
(iii) Curtailments received by the applicable Servicers in the Prior
Period.
At its option, the Master Servicer may invest funds withdrawn from the
Custodial Accounts for P&I, as well as any Buydown Funds, Insurance Proceeds and
Liquidation Proceeds previously received by the Master Servicer (including
amounts paid by the Company in respect of any Purchase Obligation or its
substitution obligations set forth in Section 2.07 or Section 2.08 or in
connection with the exercise of the option to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to Section 9.01) for its own account and at its own risk, during any period
prior to their deposit in the Certificate Account. Such funds, as well as any
funds which were withdrawn from the Custodial Accounts for P&I on or before the
Withdrawal Date, but not yet deposited into the Certificate Account, shall
immediately be deposited by the Master Servicer with the Investment Depository
in an Investment Account in the name of the Master Servicer and the Trust for
investment only as set forth in this Section 3.03. The Master Servicer shall
bear any and all losses incurred on any investments made with such funds and
shall be entitled to retain all gains realized on such investments as additional
servicing compensation. Not later than the Business Day prior to the
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deposit such funds, net of any
gains (except Payoff Earnings) earned thereon, in the Certificate Account.
(b) Funds held in the Investment Account shall be invested in (i) one or
more Eligible Investments which shall in no event mature later than the Business
Day prior to the related Distribution Date (except if such Eligible Investments
are obligations of the Trustee, such Eligible Investments may mature on the
Distribution Date), or (ii) such other instruments as shall be required to
maintain the Ratings.
Section 3.04. The Certificate Account.
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish the
Certificate Account, which shall be entitled "Washington Mutual Mortgage
Securities Corp. Certificate Account under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as of December 1, 2002, among Washington Mutual Mortgage Securities Corp.,
as Depositor and Master Servicer, State Street Bank and Trust Company, as the
Trustee, and Christiana Bank & Trust Company, as the Delaware Trustee, for the
benefit of WaMu Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates Series 2002-S8 Trust created
pursuant thereto". Promptly after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall
communicate to the Master Servicer the account number and wiring instructions
for the Certificate Account.
Not later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, the
Master Servicer shall direct the Investment Depository to deposit into the
Certificate Account the amounts previously deposited into the Investment Account
(which may include a deposit of Eligible
83
Investments) to which the Holders of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the Class
R-1 Residual Interest are entitled or which are necessary for payment of any
Special Primary Insurance Premiums. In addition, not later than the Business Day
prior to the Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall deposit into the
Certificate Account any Monthly P&I Advances or other payments required to be
made by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02 of this Agreement and any
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds (including amounts paid by the
Company in respect of any Purchase Obligation) not previously deposited in the
Custodial Accounts for P&I or the Investment Account, and any amounts paid by
the Master Servicer in connection with the exercise of its option to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 or any other purchase of Mortgage Loans
permitted by this Agreement.
(b) Funds held in the Certificate Account shall be invested at the written
direction of the Master Servicer in (i) one or more Eligible Investments which
shall in no event mature later than the Business Day prior to the related
Distribution Date (except if such Eligible Investments are obligations of the
Trustee, such Eligible Investments may mature on the Distribution Date), or (ii)
such other instruments as shall be required to maintain the Ratings. The Master
Servicer shall be entitled to receive any gains earned on such Eligible
Investments and shall bear any losses suffered in connection therewith. If the
Trustee has not received such written investment directions from the Master
Servicer, the Trustee shall not invest funds held in the Certificate Account.
The Trustee shall have no liability for any losses on investments of funds held
in the Certificate Account.
Section 3.05. Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account, the
Investment Account and Custodial Accounts for P&I and of Buydown Funds from the
Buydown Fund Accounts.
(a) The Master Servicer is authorized to make withdrawals (or, in the case
of the Certificate Account, to direct the Trustee to make withdrawals), from
time to time, from the Investment Account, the Certificate Account or the
Custodial Accounts for P&I established by the Servicers of amounts deposited
therein in respect of the Certificates (and, to the extent applicable, to make
deposits of the amounts withdrawn), as follows:
(i) To reimburse itself or the applicable Servicer for Monthly P&I
Advances made pursuant to Section 4.02 or a Selling and Servicing Contract,
such right to reimbursement pursuant to this paragraph (i) being limited to
amounts received on particular Mortgage Loans (including, for this purpose,
Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds) which represent late
recoveries of principal and/or interest respecting which any such Monthly
P&I Advance was made;
(ii) To reimburse itself or the applicable Servicer for amounts
expended by or for the account of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
3.09 or amounts expended by such Servicer pursuant to the Selling and
Servicing Contracts in connection with the restoration of property damaged
by an Uninsured Cause or in connection with the liquidation of a Mortgage
Loan;
(iii) To pay to itself, with respect to the related Mortgage Loans,
the Master Servicing Fee (net of Compensating Interest reduced by Payoff
Earnings and Payoff
84
Interest) as to which no prior withdrawals from funds deposited by the
Master Servicer have been made;
(iv) To reimburse itself or the applicable Servicer for advances made
with respect to related Mortgage Loans (except for Mortgage Loans purchased
pursuant to a Purchase Obligation or pursuant to the second or third
sentence of the third paragraph of Section 3.01) which the Master Servicer
has determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances;
(v) To pay to itself reinvestment earnings deposited or earned in the
Investment Account and the Certificate Account to which it is entitled and
to reimburse itself for expenses incurred by and reimbursable to it
pursuant to Section 6.03;
(vi) To deposit to the Investment Account amounts in the Certificate
Account not required to be on deposit therein at the time of such
withdrawal;
(vii) To deposit in the Certificate Account, not later than the
Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date, the amounts in the
Investment Account specified in Section 3.04(a);
(viii) To pay on behalf of the Trustee any Special Primary Insurance
Premium payable by the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.04(a); provided, the
Master Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee prior to
noon New York City time two Business Days prior to the applicable
Distribution Date; and
after making or providing for the above withdrawals
(ix) To clear and terminate the Investment Account and the Certificate
Account following termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.
Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii),
the Master Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other
recoveries on the related Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the applicable
Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting for each Mortgage Loan, for
the purpose of justifying any such withdrawals.
(b) The Master Servicer (or the applicable Servicer, if such Servicer holds
and maintains a Buydown Fund Account) is authorized to make withdrawals, from
time to time, of Buydown Funds from the Buydown Fund Account or Custodial
Account for P&I established by any Servicer under its supervision (and, to the
extent applicable, to make deposits of the amounts withdrawn), as follows:
(i) To deposit each month in the Investment Account the amount
necessary to supplement payments received on Buydown Loans;
(ii) In the event of a Payoff of any Mortgage Loan having a related
Buydown Fund, to apply amounts remaining in Buydown Fund Accounts to reduce
the required amount of such principal Payoff (or, if the Mortgagor has made
a Payoff, to refund such remaining Buydown Fund amounts to the Person
entitled thereto);
85
(iii) In the event of foreclosure or liquidation of any Mortgage Loan
having a Buydown Fund, to deposit remaining Buydown Fund amounts in the
Investment Account as Liquidation Proceeds; and
(iv) To clear and terminate the portion of any account representing
Buydown Funds following termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
9.01;
(c) The Trustee is authorized to make withdrawals from time to time from
the Certificate Account to reimburse itself for advances it has made pursuant to
Section 7.01(a) hereof that it has determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances.
(d) Each Servicer is authorized to make withdrawals, from time to time,
from the related Custodial Account for P&I, (i) to pay to itself, with respect
to the related Mortgage Loans, the Servicing Fee and (ii) to reimburse itself
for expenses to the same extent that the Master Servicer is authorized to make
withdrawals to reimburse the Servicer for expenses pursuant to clauses (i), (ii)
and (iv) of Section 3.05(a), in the case of each of clause (d)(i) and (d)(ii),
to the extent no prior withdrawals of such amounts have been made by the
Servicer or the Master Servicer.
Section 3.06. Maintenance of Primary Insurance Policies; Collections
Thereunder. The Master Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
keep, and to cause the Servicers to keep, in full force and effect each Primary
Insurance Policy (except any Special Primary Insurance Policy) required with
respect to a Mortgage Loan, in the manner set forth in the applicable Selling
and Servicing Contract, until no longer required, and the Master Servicer shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to keep in full force and effect each
Special Primary Insurance Policy, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Master Servicer shall have no obligation to maintain any Primary Insurance
Policy for a Mortgage Loan for which the outstanding Principal Balance thereof
at any time subsequent to origination was 80% or less of the Appraised Value of
the related Mortgaged Property, unless required by applicable law.
Unless required by applicable law, the Master Servicer shall not cancel or
refuse to renew, or allow any Servicer under its supervision to cancel or refuse
to renew, any Primary Insurance Policy in effect at the date of the initial
issuance of the Certificates that is required to be kept in force hereunder;
provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor any Servicer shall
advance funds for the payment of any premium due under (i) any Primary Insurance
Policy (other than a Special Primary Insurance Policy) if it shall determine
that such an advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or (ii) any Special
Primary Insurance Policy.
Section 3.07. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance. The Master Servicer shall
cause to be maintained for each Mortgage Loan (other than a Cooperative Loan)
fire insurance with extended coverage in an amount which is not less than the
original principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, except in cases approved by
the Master Servicer in which such amount exceeds the value of the improvements
to the Mortgaged Property. The Master Servicer shall also require fire insurance
with extended coverage in a comparable amount on property acquired upon
foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of any Mortgage Loan (other than a
Cooperative Loan). Any amounts collected under any such policies (other than
amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged
Property) shall be deposited into the Custodial
86
Account for P&I, subject to withdrawal pursuant to the applicable Selling and
Servicing Contract and pursuant to Section 3.03 and Section 3.05. Any
unreimbursed costs incurred in maintaining any insurance described in this
Section 3.07 shall be recoverable as an advance by the Master Servicer from the
Investment Account or the Certificate Account. Such insurance shall be with
insurers approved by the Master Servicer and Xxxxxx Xxx or Xxxxxxx Mac. Other
additional insurance may be required of a Mortgagor, in addition to that
required pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time
be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. Where any part of
any improvement to the Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property
secured by a Cooperative Loan) is located in a federally designated special
flood hazard area and in a community which participates in the National Flood
Insurance Program at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, the
Master Servicer shall cause flood insurance to be provided. The hazard insurance
coverage required by this Section 3.07 may be met with blanket policies
providing protection equivalent to individual policies otherwise required. The
Master Servicer or the applicable Servicer shall be responsible for paying any
deductible amount on any such blanket policy. The Master Servicer agrees to
present, or cause to be presented, on behalf of and for the benefit of the
Trust, claims under the hazard insurance policy respecting any Mortgage Loan,
and in this regard to take such reasonable actions as shall be necessary to
permit recovery under such policy.
Section 3.08. Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements.
When any Mortgaged Property is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor, the Master
Servicer shall, to the extent it has knowledge of such prospective conveyance
and prior to the time of the consummation of such conveyance, exercise on behalf
of the Trust the Trust's rights to accelerate the maturity of such Mortgage
Loan, to the extent that such acceleration is permitted by the terms of the
related Mortgage Note, under any "due-on-sale" clause applicable thereto;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer shall not exercise any such right if
the due-on-sale clause, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer, is not
enforceable under applicable law or if such exercise would result in
non-coverage of any resulting loss that would otherwise be covered under any
insurance policy. In the event the Master Servicer is prohibited from exercising
such right, the Master Servicer is authorized to take or enter into an
assumption and modification agreement from or with the Person to whom a
Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such
Person becomes liable under the Mortgage Note and, unless prohibited by
applicable state law or unless the Mortgage Note contains a provision allowing a
qualified borrower to assume the Mortgage Note, the Mortgagor remains liable
thereon; provided that the Mortgage Loan shall continue to be covered (if so
covered before the Master Servicer enters such agreement) by any related Primary
Insurance Policy. The Master Servicer is also authorized to enter into a
substitution of liability agreement with such Person, pursuant to which the
original Mortgagor is released from liability and such Person is substituted as
Mortgagor and becomes liable under the Mortgage Note. The Master Servicer shall
not enter into any substitution or assumption with respect to a Mortgage Loan if
such substitution or assumption shall (i) both constitute a "significant
modification" effecting an exchange or reissuance of such Mortgage Loan under
the Code (or Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) and cause REMIC I or
REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or (ii) cause
the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after
the startup day under the REMIC Provisions. The Master Servicer shall notify the
Trustee that any such substitution or assumption agreement has been completed by
forwarding to the Trustee the original copy of such substitution or assumption
agreement and other documents and
87
instruments constituting a part thereof. In connection with any such assumption
or substitution agreement, the terms of the related Mortgage Note shall not be
changed. Any fee collected by the applicable Servicer for entering into an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement shall be retained by such
Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or
any other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of
a Mortgage Loan by operation of law or any assumption which the Master Servicer
may be restricted by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.
Section 3.09. Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans. The Master
Servicer shall foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert, or cause to be
foreclosed upon or comparably converted, the ownership of any Mortgaged Property
securing a Mortgage Loan which comes into and continues in default and as to
which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent
payments pursuant to Section 3.01. In lieu of such foreclosure or other
conversion, and taking into consideration the desirability of maximizing net
Liquidation Proceeds after taking into account the effect of Insurance Proceeds
upon Liquidation Proceeds, the Master Servicer may, to the extent consistent
with prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, accept a payment of less than
the outstanding Principal Balance of a delinquent Mortgage Loan in full
satisfaction of the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note and
release the lien of the related Mortgage upon receipt of such payment. The
Master Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert a
Mortgaged Property if the Master Servicer is aware of evidence of toxic waste,
other hazardous substances or other evidence of environmental contamination
thereon and the Master Servicer determines that it would be imprudent to do so.
In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer
shall cause to be followed such practices and procedures as it shall deem
necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and usual in general mortgage
servicing activities. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in the
case of damage to a Mortgaged Property from an Uninsured Cause, the Master
Servicer shall not be required to advance its own funds towards the restoration
of the property unless it shall be determined in the sole judgment of the Master
Servicer, (i) that such restoration will increase the proceeds of liquidation of
the Mortgage Loan to Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such
expenses, and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable to it through
Liquidation Proceeds. The Master Servicer shall be responsible for all other
costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings; provided, however,
that it shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof (as well as its normal
servicing compensation) as an advance. The Master Servicer shall maintain
information required for tax reporting purposes regarding any Mortgaged Property
which is abandoned or which has been foreclosed or otherwise comparably
converted. The Master Servicer shall report such information to the Internal
Revenue Service and the Mortgagor in the manner required by applicable law.
The Master Servicer may enter into one or more special servicing agreements
with a Lowest Class B Owner, subject to each Rating Agency's acknowledgment that
the Ratings of the Certificates in effect immediately prior to the entering into
of such agreement would not be qualified, downgraded or withdrawn and the
Certificates would not be placed on credit review status (except for possible
upgrading) as a result of such agreement. Any such agreement may contain
provisions whereby such Lowest Class B Owner may (a) instruct the Master
Servicer to
88
instruct a Servicer to the extent provided in the applicable Selling and
Servicing Contract to commence or delay foreclosure proceedings with respect to
related delinquent Mortgage Loans, provided that the Lowest Class B Owner
deposits a specified amount of cash with the Master Servicer that will be
available for distribution to Certificateholders if Liquidation Proceeds are
less than they otherwise may have been had the Servicer acted pursuant to its
normal servicing procedures, (b) purchase such delinquent Mortgage Loans from
the Trust immediately prior to the commencement of foreclosure proceedings at a
price equal to the aggregate outstanding Principal Balance of such Mortgage
Loans plus accrued interest thereon at the applicable Mortgage Interest Rate
through the last day of the month in which such Mortgage Loans are purchased
and/or (c) assume all of the servicing rights and obligations with respect to
such delinquent Mortgage Loans so long as (i) the Master Servicer has the right
to transfer the servicing rights and obligations of such Mortgage Loans to
another servicer and (ii) such Lowest Class B Owner will service such Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the applicable Selling and Servicing Contract.
REMIC I shall not acquire any real property (or personal property incident
to such real property) except in connection with a default or imminent default
of a Mortgage Loan. In the event that REMIC I acquires any real property (or
personal property incident to such real property) in connection with a default
or imminent default of a Mortgage Loan, such property shall be disposed of by
the Master Servicer as soon as practicable in a manner that, consistent with
prudent mortgage loan servicing practices, maximizes the net present value of
the recovery to the Trust, but in any event within three years after its
acquisition by the Master Servicer for REMIC I unless the Master Servicer
provides to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by
REMIC I of such Mortgaged Property subsequent to three years after its
acquisition will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of REMIC I as defined in Section 860F of the Code or under the law
of any state in which real property securing a Mortgage Loan owned by REMIC I is
located or cause REMIC I to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax
purposes or for state tax purposes under the laws of any state in which real
property securing a Mortgage Loan owned by REMIC I is located at any time that
any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer shall conserve, protect
and operate each such property for the Certificateholders solely for the purpose
of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such
property to fail to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of
Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the REMIC of any "income from
non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or
any "net income from foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under
the REMIC Provisions. Pursuant to its efforts to sell such property, the Master
Servicer shall either itself or through an agent selected by the Master Servicer
protect and conserve such property in the same manner and to such extent as is
customary in the locality where such property is located and may, incident to
its conservation and protection of the assets of the Trust, rent the same, or
any part thereof, as the Master Servicer deems to be in the best interest of the
Master Servicer and the Trust for the period prior to the sale of such property.
Additionally, the Master Servicer shall perform the tax withholding and shall
file information returns with respect to the receipt of mortgage interests
received in a trade or business, the reports of foreclosures and abandonments of
any Mortgaged Property and the information returns relating to cancellation of
indebtedness income with respect to any Mortgaged Property required by Sections
6050H, 6050J and 6050P, respectively, of the Code, and deliver to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate on or before March 31 of each year
89
stating that such reports have been filed. Such reports shall be in form and
substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Sections
6050H, 6050J and 6050P of the Code.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Master Servicer
and the Trustee, as applicable, shall comply with all federal withholding
requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders of interest or
original issue discount that the Master Servicer or the Trustee reasonably
believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall
not be required for any such withholding. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Master Servicer agrees that it will not withhold with respect to payments of
interest or original issue discount in the case of a Certificateholder that has
furnished or caused to be furnished an effective Form W-8 or an acceptable
substitute form or a successor form and who is not a "10 percent shareholder"
within the meaning of Code Section 871(h)(3)(B) or a "controlled foreign
corporation" described in Code Section 881(c)(3)(C) with respect to REMIC I,
REMIC II or the depositor. In the event the Trustee withholds any amount from
interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any
Certificateholder pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Trustee
shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder.
Section 3.10. Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the
Payoff or scheduled maturity of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall
cause such final payment to be immediately deposited in the related Custodial
Account for P&I or the Investment Account. The Master Servicer shall promptly
notify the Trustee thereof by a certification (which certification shall include
a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such
payment which are required to be deposited in either such account have been so
deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the
Mortgage File; provided, however, that such certification shall not be required
if the Mortgage File is held by a Custodian which is also the Servicer of the
Mortgage Loan. Upon receipt of such certification and request, the Trustee
shall, not later than the fifth succeeding Business Day, release, or cause to be
released, the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the applicable
Servicer indicated in such request. With any such Payoff or other final payment,
the Master Servicer is authorized (i) to prepare for and procure from the
trustee or mortgagee under the Mortgage which secured the Mortgage Note a deed
of full reconveyance or other form of satisfaction or assignment of Mortgage and
endorsement of Mortgage Note in connection with a refinancing covering the
Mortgaged Property, which satisfaction, endorsed Mortgage Note or assigning
document shall be delivered by the Master Servicer to the person or persons
entitled thereto, and (ii) with respect to any MERS Loan, to cause the removal
of such Mortgage Loan from registration on the MERS(R) System. No expenses
incurred in connection with such satisfaction or assignment shall be payable to
the Master Servicer by the Trustee or from the Certificate Account, the related
Investment Account or the related Custodial Account for P&I. From time to time
as appropriate for the servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, including,
for this purpose, collection under any Primary Insurance Policy, the Trustee
shall, upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to it of a trust receipt
signed by a Servicing Officer, release not later than the fifth Business Day
following the date of receipt of such request and trust receipt the related
Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the related Servicer as indicated by the
Master Servicer and shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings. Such trust receipt shall obligate the
Master Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Trustee when the need
therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists, unless the Mortgage Loan shall
be
90
liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer
similar to that herein above specified, the trust receipt shall be released by
the Trustee to the Master Servicer.
Section 3.11. Compensation to the Master Servicer and the Servicers. As
compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to receive from the Investment Account or the Certificate Account the amounts
provided for by Section 3.05(a)(iii). The Master Servicer shall be required to
pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder and
shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor, except as specifically provided
herein.
As compensation for its activities under the applicable Selling and
Servicing Contract, the applicable Servicer shall be entitled to withhold or
withdraw from the related Custodial Account for P&I the amounts provided for in
such Selling and Servicing Contract to the extent not inconsistent with this
Agreement (including Section 3.05(d)). Each Servicer is required to pay all
expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under its
Selling and Servicing Contract (including payment of premiums for Primary
Insurance Policies, other than Special Primary Insurance Policies, if required)
and shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as specifically
provided in such Selling and Servicing Contract and not inconsistent with this
Agreement.
Section 3.12. Reports to the Trustee; Certificate Account Statement. Not
later than 15 days after each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall
forward a statement, certified by a Servicing Officer, to the Trustee setting
forth the status of the Certificate Account as of the close of business on such
Distribution Date and showing, for the period covered by such statement, the
aggregate of deposits into and withdrawals from the Certificate Account for each
category of deposit specified in Section 3.04 and each category of withdrawal
specified in Section 3.05, and stating that all distributions required by this
Agreement have been made (or if any required distribution has not been made,
specifying the nature and amount thereof). The Trustee shall make available such
statements to any Certificateholder upon request at the expense of the Master
Servicer. Such statement shall also, to the extent available, include
information regarding delinquencies on the Mortgage Loans, indicating the number
and aggregate Principal Balance of Mortgage Loans which are one, two, three or
more months delinquent, the number and aggregate Principal Balance of Mortgage
Loans with respect to which foreclosure proceedings have been initiated and the
book value of any Mortgaged Property acquired by the Trust through foreclosure,
deed in lieu of foreclosure or other exercise of the Trust's security interest
in the Mortgaged Property.
Section 3.13. Annual Statement as to Compliance. The Master Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee, on or before April 30 of each year, beginning with the
first April 30 succeeding the Cut-Off Date by at least six months, an Officer's
Certificate stating as to the signer thereof, that (i) a review of the
activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar year and
performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision,
and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
Master Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any
such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the
nature and status thereof. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the
Master Servicer to Certificateholders upon request or by the Trustee (solely to
the extent that such copies are
91
available to the Trustee) at the expense of the Master Servicer, should the
Master Servicer fail to so provide such copies.
Section 3.14. Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding the
Mortgage Loans. In the event that the Certificates are legal for investment by
federally-insured savings associations, the Master Servicer shall provide to the
OTS, the FDIC and the supervisory agents and examiners of the OTS and the FDIC
access to the documentation regarding the related Mortgage Loans required by
applicable regulations of the OTS or the FDIC, as applicable, and shall in any
event provide such access to the documentation regarding such Mortgage Loans to
the Trustee and its representatives, such access being afforded without charge,
but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices
of the Master Servicer designated by it.
Section 3.15. Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report. On
or before April 30 of each year, beginning with the first April 30 succeeding
the Cut-Off Date by at least six months, the Master Servicer, at its expense,
shall cause a firm of independent public accountants to furnish a statement to
the Trustee to the effect that, in connection with the firm's examination of the
financial statements as of the previous December 31 of the Master Servicer's
parent corporation (which shall include a limited examination of the Master
Servicer's financial statements), nothing came to their attention that indicated
that the Master Servicer was not in compliance with Section 3.02, Section 3.03,
Section 3.04, Section 3.05, Section 3.11, Section 3.12 and Section 3.13 of this
Agreement, except for (i) such exceptions as such firm believes to be
immaterial, and (ii) such other exceptions as are set forth in such statement.
Section 3.16. [Reserved.]
Section 3.17. [Reserved.]
Section 3.18. [Reserved.]
Section 3.19. [Reserved.]
Section 3.20. Assumption or Termination of Selling and Servicing Contracts
by Trustee. In the event the Master Servicer, or any successor Master Servicer,
shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer (including by reason of an
Event of Default), the Trustee as trustee hereunder or its designee shall
thereupon assume all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under
the Selling and Servicing Contracts with respect to the related Mortgage Loans
unless the Trustee elects to terminate the Selling and Servicing Contracts with
respect to such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the terms thereof. The
Trustee, its designee or the successor servicer for the Trustee shall be deemed
to have assumed all of the Master Servicer's interest therein with respect to
the related Mortgage Loans and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party
to the Selling and Servicing Contracts to the same extent as if the rights and
duties under the Selling and Servicing Contracts relating to such Mortgage Loans
had been assigned to the assuming party, except that the Master Servicer shall
not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under the Selling and
Servicing Contracts with respect to the Master Servicer's duties to be performed
prior to its termination hereunder.
92
The Master Servicer at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee,
deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to the Selling
and Servicing Contracts and the Mortgage Loans then being master serviced by the
Master Servicer and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Master
Servicer and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient
transfer of the rights and duties under the related Selling and Servicing
Contracts relating to such Mortgage Loans to the assuming party.
ARTICLE IV
Payments to Certificateholders; Payment of Expenses
Section 4.01. Distributions to Holders of REMIC I Regular Interests and
Class R-1 Residual Interest. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee (or any duly
appointed paying agent) (i) shall be deemed to have distributed from the
Certificate Account the REMIC I Distribution Amount to the Holders of the REMIC
I Regular Interests, and to have deposited such amount for their benefit into
the Certificate Account and (ii) from the Certificate Account shall distribute
to the Class R Certificateholders, in accordance with the written statement
received from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(b), the sum of (a)
the Excess Liquidation Proceeds and (b) the amounts to be distributed to the
Holders of the Class R-1 Residual Interest pursuant to the definition of "REMIC
I Distribution Amount" for such Distribution Date. Amounts distributed pursuant
to clause (ii) above shall be distributed by wire transfer in immediately
available funds for the account of each Class R Certificateholder, or by any
other means of payment acceptable to each Class R Certificateholder of record on
the immediately preceding Record Date (other than as provided in Section 9.01
respecting the final distribution), as specified by each such Certificateholder
and at the address of such Holder appearing in the Certificate Register.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no actual distributions
pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 4.01 shall be made on account of the
deemed distributions described in this paragraph except in the event of a
liquidation of REMIC II and not REMIC I.
Section 4.02. Advances by the Master Servicer; Distribution Reports to the
Trustee.
(a) To the extent described below, the Master Servicer is obligated to
advance its own funds to the Certificate Account to cover any shortfall between
(i) payments scheduled to be received in respect of Mortgage Loans, and (ii) the
amounts actually deposited in the Certificate Account on account of such
payments. The Master Servicer's obligation to make any advance or advances
described in this Section 4.02 is effective only to the extent that such advance
is, in the good faith judgment of the Master Servicer made on or before the
second Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, reimbursable from Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds of the related Mortgage Loans or recoverable as
late Monthly Payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loans or otherwise.
Prior to the close of business on the second Business Day prior to each
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall determine whether or not it will
make a Monthly P&I Advance on the Business Day prior to such Distribution Date
(in the event that the applicable Servicer fails to make such advances) and
shall furnish a written statement to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, if any, and
to any Certificateholder requesting the same, setting forth the aggregate amount
to be
93
advanced on account of principal and interest in respect of the Mortgage Loans,
stated separately.
In the event that the Master Servicer shall be required to make a Monthly
P&I Advance, it shall on the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date
either (i) deposit in the Certificate Account an amount equal to such Monthly
P&I Advance, (ii) make an appropriate entry in the records of the Certificate
Account that funds in such account being held for future distribution or
withdrawal have been, as permitted by this Section 4.02, used by the Master
Servicer to make such Monthly P&I Advance, or (iii) make advances in the form of
any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating the amount of such Monthly P&I
Advance. Any funds being held for future distribution to Certificateholders and
so used shall be replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate
Account on the Business Day immediately preceding any future Distribution Date
to the extent that funds in the Certificate Account on such Distribution Date
with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be less than payments to
Certificateholders required to be made on such date with respect to the Mortgage
Loans. Under each Selling and Servicing Contract, the Master Servicer is
entitled to receive from the Custodial Accounts for P&I established by the
Servicers amounts received by the applicable Servicers on particular Mortgage
Loans as late payments of principal and interest or as Liquidation or Insurance
Proceeds and respecting which the Master Servicer has made an unreimbursed
advance of principal and interest. The Master Servicer is also entitled to
receive other amounts from the related Custodial Accounts for P&I established by
the Servicers to reimburse itself for prior Nonrecoverable Advances respecting
Mortgage Loans serviced by such Servicers. The Master Servicer shall deposit
these amounts in the Investment Account prior to withdrawal pursuant to Section
3.05.
In accordance with Section 3.05, Monthly P&I Advances are reimbursable to
the Master Servicer from cash in the Investment Account or the Certificate
Account to the extent that the Master Servicer shall determine that any such
advances previously made are Nonrecoverable Advances pursuant to Section 4.03.
(b) Prior to noon New York City time two Business Days prior to each
Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall provide (x) the Trustee and (y) the
Company (if the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer) with a statement
in writing of (1) the amount, as applicable, of (i) interest, (ii) the interest
portion, if any, of Realized Losses, (iii) Uncompensated Interest Shortfall,
(iv) scheduled principal, (v) Principal Prepayments, (vi) the principal portion
of Realized Losses, (vii) the Residual Distribution Amount and (viii) the Excess
Liquidation Proceeds to be distributed or allocated, as applicable, to each
Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such amounts to be determined
in accordance with the definitions of "REMIC I Distribution Amount" and "REMIC
II Distribution Amount," Section 4.01 and Section 4.04 hereof and other related
definitions set forth in Article I hereof); (2) the applicable Class Principal
Balance after giving effect to such distributions and allocations; and (3) the
amount of any Special Primary Insurance Premium payable on such Distribution
Date.
Section 4.03. Nonrecoverable Advances. Any advance previously made by a
Servicer pursuant to its Selling and Servicing Contract with respect to a
Mortgage Loan or by the Master Servicer that the Master Servicer shall determine
in its good faith judgment not to be ultimately recoverable from Insurance
Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds or otherwise with respect to such
94
Mortgage Loan or recoverable as late Monthly Payments with respect to such
Mortgage Loan shall be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Master
Servicer that it or the applicable Servicer has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or
that any advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced
by an Officer's Certificate of the Master Servicer delivered to the Trustee on
the Determination Date and detailing the reasons for such determination.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any insurance policy
relating to the Mortgage Loans, or any other agreement relating to the Mortgage
Loans to which the Company or the Master Servicer is a party, (a) the Master
Servicer and each Servicer shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any
advance that, after reasonable inquiry and in its sole discretion, the Master
Servicer or such Servicer shall determine would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and
(b) the Master Servicer and each Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for
any advance as provided in Section 3.05(a)(i), (ii) and (iv) of this Agreement.
Section 4.04. Distributions to Certificateholders; Payment of Special
Primary Insurance Premiums.
(a) On each Distribution Date, the Trustee (or any duly appointed paying
agent) shall (i) subject to Section 3.05(a)(viii), withdraw from the Certificate
Account any Special Primary Insurance Premium payable on such Distribution Date
and pay such amount to the insurer under the applicable Special Primary
Insurance Policy and (ii) withdraw from the Certificate Account the REMIC II
Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and distribute, from
the amount so withdrawn, to the extent of the REMIC II Available Distribution
Amount, the REMIC II Distribution Amount to the Certificateholders (including
the Class R Certificateholders with respect to any distribution to the Holders
of the Class R-2 Residual Interest), all in accordance with the written
statement received from the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(b). Any
Special Primary Insurance Premiums distributed pursuant to clause (i) above
shall be distributed by means of payment acceptable to the insurer under the
respective Special Primary Insurance Policy. Amounts distributed to the
Certificateholders pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be distributed by wire
transfer in immediately available funds for the account of, or by check mailed
to, each such Certificateholder of record on the immediately preceding Record
Date (other than as provided in Section 9.01 respecting the final distribution),
as specified by each such Certificateholder and at the address of such Holder
appearing in the Certificate Register.
(b) All reductions in the Certificate Principal Balance of a Certificate
effected by distributions of principal and all allocations of Realized Losses
made on any Distribution Date shall be binding upon all Holders of such
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer or
exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, whether or not such distribution is noted
on such Certificate. The final distribution of principal of each Certificate
(and the final distribution upon the Class R Certificates upon (i) the
termination of REMIC I and REMIC II and (ii) the payment, or making provision
for payment, of all liabilities of the Trust) shall be payable in the manner
provided above only upon presentation and surrender thereof on or after the
Distribution Date therefor at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar
specified in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 4.04(c)(ii) and Section
9.01(b).
(c) Whenever, on the basis of Curtailments, Payoffs and Monthly Payments on
the Mortgage Loans and Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received and
expected to be received during the Payoff Period, the Master Servicer has
notified the Trustee that it believes
95
that the entire remaining unpaid Class Principal Balance of any Class of
Certificates will become distributable on the next Distribution Date, the
Trustee shall, no later than the 18th day of the month of such Distribution
Date, mail or cause to be mailed to each Person in whose name a Certificate to
be so retired is registered at the close of business on the Record Date and to
the Rating Agencies a notice to the effect that:
(i) it is expected that funds sufficient to make such final
distribution will be available in the Certificate Account on such
Distribution Date, and
(ii) if such funds are available, (A) such final distribution will be
payable on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender
of such Certificate at the office or agency of the Certificate Registrar
maintained for such purpose (the address of which shall be set forth in
such notice), and (B) no interest shall accrue on such Certificate after
such Distribution Date.
Section 4.05. Statements to Certificateholders. With each distribution from
the Certificate Account on a Distribution Date, the Trustee shall send to each
Rating Agency and shall make available to each Certificateholder the statement
required by Section 4.02(b). The Trustee may make available such statement and
certain other information, including, without limitation, information required
to be provided by the Trustee pursuant to Sections 3.12 and 3.13, to

Master Servicer shall forward to such Certificateholder or Rating Agency and the
Trustee and the Company (if the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer)
an additional report which sets forth with respect to the Mortgage Loans:

delinquent one, two and three months or more, in each case, by Loan Group;

Upon request by any Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, as soon as
reasonably practicable, shall provide the requesting Certificateholder with such
information as is necessary and appropriate, in the Master Servicer's sole
discretion, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements under
Rule 144A of the Securities Act.

such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following
provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its designee
under clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such
Person and to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause
(iii)(B) below and to execute all instruments of transfer and to do all
other things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each
Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are
expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its
status as a Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate to a U.S. Person, the Trustee shall
require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate until its receipt of (1) an affidavit and
agreement (a "Transferee Affidavit and Agreement") attached hereto as
Exhibit J from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company, representing and warranting, among other
things, that it is not a Non-U.S. Person, that such transferee is a
Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest
in the Residual Certificate that is the subject of the proposed
Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership
Interest in a Residual Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a
Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this
Section 5.01(c) and agrees to be bound by them, and (2) a certificate,
attached hereto as Exhibit I, from the Holder wishing to transfer the
Residual Certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Company, representing and warranting, among other things, that no
purpose of the proposed Transfer is to allow such Holder to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if the
Trustee has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a
Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
98
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate agrees by holding or acquiring such Ownership
Interest (i) to require a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement from any
other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership
Interest and to provide a certificate to the Trustee in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J; (ii) to obtain the express written
consent of the Company prior to any transfer of such Ownership
Interest, which consent may be withheld in the Company's sole
discretion; and (iii) to provide a certificate to the Trustee in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit I.
(ii) The Trustee shall register the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate only if it shall have received the Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement, a certificate of the Holder requesting such transfer in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J and all of such other documents as shall have
been reasonably required by the Trustee as a condition to such
registration.
(iii) (A) If any "disqualified organization" (as defined in Section
860E(e)(5) of the Code) shall become a holder of a Residual
Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and
obligations as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration
of such Transfer of such Residual Certificate. If any Non-U.S. Person
shall become a holder of a Residual Certificate, then the last
preceding holder which is a U.S. Person shall be restored, to the
extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of the Transfer to
such Non-U.S. Person of such Residual Certificate. If a transfer of a
Residual Certificate is disregarded pursuant to the provisions of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the
last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the extent
permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such
Residual Certificate. Neither the Trust nor the Trustee shall be under
any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a
Residual Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section
5.01(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the
holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such
holder under the provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.01(c) and to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the
rights of the Holder of such Residual Certificate as described in
clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then
the Company shall have the right, without notice to the Holder or any
prior Holder of such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual
Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Company on such terms as
the Company may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly
endorse and deliver each Residual Certificate in accordance with the
instructions of the Company. Such purchaser may be the Company itself
or any affiliate of the Company. The proceeds of such sale, net of the
commissions (which may include commissions payable to the Company or
its affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, shall be remitted by
the Company to such purported Transferee. The terms and conditions
99
of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the Company, and the Company shall not be liable to any
Person having an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a
result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Company, on behalf of the Trustee, shall make available, upon
written request from the Trustee, all information necessary to compute any
tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee,
including the information regarding "excess inclusions" of such Residual
Certificates required to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service and
certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.860D-1(b)(5),
and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate
investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or
organizations described in Section 1381 of the Code having as among its
record holders at any time any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee.
Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be required by
the Company from such Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.01 set forth prior to this
Section (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated by the Company and the
Trustee, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee the
following:
(A) written notification from each of the Rating Agencies to the
effect that the modification, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its
then-current Ratings of the Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Company (as evidenced by a certificate of the Company), to the
effect that such modification, addition to or absence of such
provisions will not cause REMIC I and REMIC II to cease to qualify as
a REMIC and will not create a risk that (1) REMIC I and REMIC II may
be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any
Residual Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee
or (2) a Certificateholder or another Person will be subject to a
REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Residual Certificate to
a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee.
(vi) The following legend shall appear on all Residual Certificates:
ANY RESALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE
ONLY IF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE PROVIDES A TRANSFER AFFIDAVIT TO THE
COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE THAT (1) SUCH TRANSFEREE IS NOT EITHER (A) THE
UNITED STATES, ANY STATE OR POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, ANY FOREIGN
GOVERNMENT, ANY INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION, OR ANY AGENCY OR
INSTRUMENTALITY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING, (B) ANY ORGANIZATION (OTHER THAN A
COOPERATIVE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 521 OF THE CODE) WHICH IS EXEMPT FROM THE
TAX IMPOSED BY CHAPTER 1 OF THE CODE UNLESS SUCH ORGANIZATION IS SUBJECT TO
THE TAX IMPOSED BY
100
SECTION 511 OF THE CODE, (C) ANY ORGANIZATION DESCRIBED IN SECTION
1381(a)(2)(C) OF THE CODE (ANY SUCH PERSON DESCRIBED IN THE FOREGOING
CLAUSES (A), (B), OR (C) BEING HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS A "DISQUALIFIED
ORGANIZATION"), OR (D) AN AGENT OF A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION AND (2) NO
PURPOSE OF SUCH TRANSFER IS TO ENABLE THE TRANSFEROR TO IMPEDE THE
ASSESSMENT OR COLLECTION OF TAX. SUCH AFFIDAVIT SHALL INCLUDE CERTAIN
REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE REGISTRATION IN THE CERTIFICATE REGISTER OF ANY
TRANSFER, SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS CLASS R CERTIFICATE TO A
DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION OR AN AGENT OF A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION, SUCH
REGISTRATION SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE OF NO LEGAL FORCE OR EFFECT WHATSOEVER
AND SUCH PERSON SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A CERTIFICATEHOLDER FOR ANY
PURPOSE HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE RECEIPT OF
DISTRIBUTIONS ON THIS CERTIFICATE. EACH HOLDER OF THE CLASS R CERTIFICATE
BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
(vii) The Tax Matters Person for each of REMIC I and REMIC II, while
not a Disqualified Organization, shall be the tax matters person for the
related REMIC within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and
Treasury Regulation Section 1.860F-4(d).
(d) In the case of any Junior Subordinate Certificate presented for
registration in the name of any Person, the Trustee shall require (i) an
officer's certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N attached hereto
acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Company, which officer's certificate shall not be an expense of the Trust, the
Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Company, and (ii) only if such officer's
certificate indicates that a Benefit Plan Opinion is delivered in connection
therewith, a Benefit Plan Opinion.
In the case of any Residual Certificate presented for registration in the
name of any Person, the Trustee shall require (i) a Transferee Affidavit and
Agreement which includes the representation set forth in paragraph 18 of the
form attached hereto as Exhibit J and (ii) only if the representation set forth
in such paragraph 18 indicates that a Benefit Plan Opinion is delivered in
connection therewith, a Benefit Plan Opinion.
(e) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of a Junior Subordinate
Certificate shall be made unless such transfer, sale, pledge or other
disposition is made in accordance with this Section 5.01(e) or Section 5.01(f).
Each Person who, at any time, acquires any ownership interest in any Junior
Subordinate Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
ownership interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions of
this Section 5.01(e) and Section 5.01(f), as applicable. No transfer of a Junior
Subordinate Certificate shall be deemed to be made in accordance with this
Section 5.01(e) unless such transfer is made pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or unless the Trustee is
provided with the certificates and an Opinion of Counsel, if required, on which
the Trustee may conclusively rely, to the effect that such transfer is exempt
from the registration requirements
101
under the Securities Act, as follows: In the event that a transfer is to be made
in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, the Trustee shall
require, in order to assure compliance with the Securities Act, that the
Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer certify to the Trustee in
writing, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, the facts
surrounding the transfer, with such modifications to such Exhibit F as may be
appropriate to reflect the actual facts of the proposed transfer, and that the
Certificateholder's proposed transferee certify to the Trustee in writing, in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, the facts surrounding the
transfer, with such modifications to such Exhibit G as may be appropriate to
reflect the actual facts of the proposed transfer. If such certificate of the
proposed transferee does not contain substantially the substance of Exhibit G,
the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel that such transfer may be made
without registration, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be obtained at the
expense of the Trustee, the Trust or the Company. Such Opinion of Counsel shall
allow for the forwarding, and the Trustee shall forward, a copy thereof to the
Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Junior Subordinate
Certificate may be transferred, sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of in
accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 5.01(f).
(f) To effectuate a Certificate transfer of a Junior Subordinate
Certificate in accordance with this Section 5.01(f), the proposed transferee of
such Certificate must provide the Trustee and the Company with an investment
letter substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto, which investment
letter shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Trustee or the Company, and
which investment letter states that, among other things, such transferee (i) is
a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own
account or the accounts of other "qualified institutional buyers" as defined
under Rule 144A, and (ii) is aware that the proposed transferor intends to rely
on the exemption from registration requirements under the Securities Act
provided by Rule 144A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proposed transferee of
such Certificate shall not be required to provide the Trustee or the Company
with Annex 1 or Annex 2 to the form of Exhibit L attached hereto if the Company
so consents prior to each such transfer. Such transfers shall be deemed to have
complied with the requirements of this Section 5.01(f). The Holder of a
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer does hereby agree to indemnify the
Trust, the Trustee, the Company, and the Certificate Registrar against any
liability that may result if transfer is not made in accordance with this
Agreement.
(g) (1) In the case of any ERISA Restricted Certificate presented for
registration in the name of any Person, the prospective transferee shall be
required to provide the Trustee and the Company (A) an officer's certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit O attached hereto acceptable to and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company, which officer's
certificate shall not be an expense of the Trust, the Trustee, the Master
Servicer or the Company, and (B) only if such officer's certificate indicates
that a Benefit Plan Opinion is delivered in connection therewith, a Benefit Plan
Opinion.
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a certification (and, if
applicable, a Benefit Plan Opinion) as described in Section 5.01(g)(1)
above will not be required with respect to the transfer of any ERISA
Restricted Certificate to a Clearing Agency, or for any subsequent transfer
of any interest in a ERISA Restricted Certificate for so long as such
Certificate is a Book-Entry Certificate (each such ERISA Restricted
Certificate, a "Book-Entry ERISA Restricted Certificate"). Any transferee
of a Book-Entry ERISA Restricted
102
Certificate will be deemed to have represented, by virtue of its
acquisition or holding of such Certificate (or interest therein), that
either (i) such transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan subject
to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code, or any person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or
a trustee of any such plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or
purchasing such Certificate with "plan assets" of any such plan (a "Plan
Investor"), (ii) such transferee is an insurance company, the source of
funds to be used by it to acquire or hold such Certificate is an "insurance
company general account" (within the meaning of Department of Labor
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE") 95-60), and the conditions
in Section I and III of PTCE 95-60 have been satisfied (each entity that
satisfies this clause (ii), a "Complying Insurance Company") or (iii) such
Certificate was rated "BBB-" or better (or its equivalent) by at least one
of the Rating Agencies at the time of such transferee's acquisition of such
Certificate (or interest therein).
(3) If any Book-Entry ERISA Restricted Certificate (or any interest
therein) is acquired or held in violation of the provisions of Section
5.01(g)(2) above, then the last preceding transferee that either (i) is not
a Plan Investor, (ii) is a Complying Insurance Company or (iii) acquired
such Certificate at a time when such Certificate was rated "BBB-" or better
(or its equivalent) by at least one of the Rating Agencies shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Beneficial Holder thereof retroactive to the date of transfer of such
Certificate by such preceding transferee. Neither the Trust nor the Trustee
shall be under any liability to any Person for making any payments due on
such Certificate to such preceding transferee.
(4) Any purported Beneficial Holder whose acquisition or holding of
any Book-Entry ERISA Restricted Certificate (or interest therein) was
effected in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.01(g) shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Trust and the Underwriter from and against any and all liabilities,
claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of such
acquisition or holding.
Section 5.02. Certificates Issuable in Classes; Distributions of Principal
and Interest; Authorized Denominations. The aggregate principal amount of the
Certificates that may be authenticated and delivered under this Agreement is
limited to the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-Off Date, as specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement,
except for Certificates authenticated and delivered upon registration of
transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant to
Section 5.03. Such aggregate principal amount shall be allocated among one or
more Classes having designations, types of interests, initial per annum
Certificate Interest Rates, initial Class Principal Balances and Final Maturity
Dates as specified in the Preliminary Statement to this Agreement. The aggregate
Percentage Interest of each Class of Certificates of which the Class Principal
Balance equals zero as of the Cut-Off Date that may be authenticated and
delivered under this Agreement is limited to 100%. Certificates shall be issued
in Authorized Denominations.
Section 5.03. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates. The
Trustee shall cause to be maintained at one of its offices or at its designated
agent, a Certificate Register in which there shall be recorded the name and
address of each Certificateholder. Subject to such
103
reasonable rules and regulations as the Trustee may prescribe, the Certificate
Register shall be amended from time to time by the Trustee or its agent to
reflect notice of any changes received by the Trustee or its agent pursuant to
Section 10.06. The Trustee hereby appoints itself as the initial Certificate
Registrar.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate to the
Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at the office of State
Street Bank and Trust Company, N.A., 00 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000,
Attention: Corporate Trust Window, or such other address or agency as may
hereafter be provided to the Master Servicer in writing by the Trustee, the
Trustee shall execute, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Certificates of Authorized Denominations. At the
option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates in Authorized Denominations of like Certificate Principal Balance
or Percentage Interest, as applicable, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall execute, and
the Trustee, or any Authenticating Agent, shall authenticate and deliver, the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer shall (if so
required by the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Trustee or any Authenticating Agent and duly executed by, the Holder thereof or
such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing.
A reasonable service charge may be made for any such exchange or transfer
of Certificates, and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
exchange or transfer of Certificates.
All Certificates surrendered for exchange or transfer shall be cancelled by
the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent.
Section 5.04. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i) any
mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent,
or (ii) the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent receives evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is
delivered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them and the Trust harmless, then, in
the absence of notice to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent that such
Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Certificate Principal Balance or
Percentage Interest as applicable. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate
under this Section 5.04, the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent) connected therewith.
Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in REMIC II (or with
respect to the Class R Certificates, the residual ownership interests in REMIC I
and REMIC II) as if originally issued, whether or not the lost or stolen
Certificate shall be found at any time.
104
Section 5.05. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Master Servicer, the
Trust, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and any agent of any of them may treat
the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such
Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01
and Section 4.04 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company,
the Master Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any agent of the Company, the Master Servicer, the
Trust, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
Section 5.06. Temporary Certificates. Upon the initial issuance of the
Certificates, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust may execute, and the Trustee or
any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Certificates
which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any
Authorized Denomination, of the tenor of the definitive Certificates in lieu of
which they are issued and with such variations in form from the forms of the
Certificates set forth as Exhibits A, B, C and H hereto as the Trustee's
officers executing such Certificates may determine, as evidenced by their
execution of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificates
may remain in the form of temporary Certificates.
If temporary Certificates are issued, the Trustee shall cause definitive
Certificates to be prepared within ten Business Days after the Closing Date or
as soon as practicable thereafter. After preparation of definitive Certificates,
the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates
upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the office or agency of the
Trustee to be maintained as provided in Section 5.10 hereof, without charge to
the holder. Any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any such exchange shall be borne by the Master Servicer. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Trustee on behalf of
the Trust shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
definitive Certificates of Authorized Denominations. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Agreement as definitive Certificates.
Section 5.07. Book-Entry for Book-Entry Certificates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Book-Entry Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued
in the form of one or more typewritten Certificates of Authorized Denomination
representing the Book-Entry Certificates, to be delivered to DTC, the initial
Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Book-Entry Certificates
shall initially be registered on the Certificate Register in the name of Cede &
Co., the nominee of DTC, as the initial Clearing Agency, and no Beneficial
Holder shall receive a definitive certificate representing such Beneficial
Holder's interest in any Class of Book-Entry Certificate, except as provided
above and in Section 5.09. Each Book-Entry Certificate shall bear the following
legend:
Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The
Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to the Company or
its agent for registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any
Certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other
name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any
payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an
authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF
FOR VALUE OR
105
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
Unless and until definitive, fully registered Book-Entry Certificates (the
"Definitive Certificates") have been issued to the Beneficial Holders pursuant
to Section 5.09:
(a) the provisions of this Section 5.07 shall be in full force and
effect with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates;
(b) the Master Servicer and the Trustee may deal with the Clearing
Agency for all purposes with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates
(including the making of distributions on the Book-Entry Certificates) as
the sole Certificateholder;
(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 5.07 conflict
with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section
5.07 shall control; and
(d) the rights of the Beneficial Holders shall be exercised only
through the Clearing Agency and the DTC Participants and shall be limited
to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Holders
and the Clearing Agency and/or the DTC Participants. Pursuant to the
Depositary Agreement, unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued
pursuant to Section 5.09, the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry
transfers among the DTC Participants and receive and transmit distributions
of principal and interest on the related Class of Book-Entry Certificates
to such DTC Participants.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting
actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Holders of Book-Entry
Certificates evidencing a specified Percentage Interest, such direction or
consent may be given by the Clearing Agency at the direction of Beneficial
Holders owning Book-Entry Certificates evidencing the requisite Percentage
Interest represented by the Book-Entry Certificates. The Clearing Agency may
take conflicting actions with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates to the
extent that such actions are taken on behalf of the Beneficial Holders.
Section 5.08. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever notice or other
communication to the Certificateholders is required under this Agreement, unless
and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to the related
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.09, the Trustee shall give all such
notices and communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the
Book-Entry Certificates to the Clearing Agency which shall give such notices and
communications to the related DTC Participants in accordance with its applicable
rules, regulations and procedures.
Section 5.09. Definitive Certificates. If (a) the Master Servicer notifies
the Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or able to
discharge properly its responsibilities under the Depositary Agreement with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates and the Trustee or the Master Servicer is
unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Master Servicer, at its option,
advises the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system
with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates through the Clearing Agency or (c)
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Certificateholders holding
Book-Entry Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 66% of the aggregate Class Principal
106
Balance of such Certificates advise the Trustee and the Clearing Agency through
DTC Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system with
respect to the Book-Entry Certificates through the Clearing Agency is no longer
in the best interests of the Certificateholders with respect to such
Certificates, the Trustee shall notify all Certificateholders of Book-Entry
Certificates of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Book-Entry
Certificates by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions
from the Clearing Agency for registration, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust
shall execute and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Company, the Master Servicer,
the Trust nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates for all of the
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to be imposed upon and
performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates, and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
Section 5.10. Office for Transfer of Certificates. The Trustee shall
maintain in Massachusetts and in New York, New York, an office or agency where
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The
Corporate Trust Office and State Street Bank and Trust Company, N.A., 00
Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Corporate Trust Window are initially
designated for said purposes.
Section 5.11. Nature of Certificates. The Certificates shall be personal
property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this
Agreement. The Certificates shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when
issued and delivered to the Holders against payment of the purchase price
therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust. The Holders of the
Certificates, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same
limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private
corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware. THE RECEIPT AND ACCEPTANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN
BY OR ON BEHALF OF A HOLDER OR ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER, WITHOUT ANY SIGNATURE OR
FURTHER MANIFESTATION OF ASSENT, SHALL CONSTITUTE THE UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE
BY THE HOLDER AND ALL OTHERS HAVING A BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN SUCH CERTIFICATE OF
ALL THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND SHALL CONSTITUTE THE
AGREEMENT OF THE TRUST, SUCH HOLDER AND SUCH OTHERS THAT THE TERMS AND
PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING, OPERATIVE AND EFFECTIVE AS
BETWEEN THE TRUST AND SUCH HOLDER AND SUCH OTHERS.
ARTICLE VI
The Company and the Master Servicer
Section 6.01. Liability of the Company and the Master Servicer. The Company

extent of the obligations
107
specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Company or the Master Servicer,
as applicable, herein.
Section 6.02. Merger or Consolidation of the Company, or the Master
Servicer. Any Corporation into which the Company or the Master Servicer may be
merged or consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Company or the Master Servicer shall be a party,
or any Corporation succeeding to the business of the Company or the Master
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Company or 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.
Section 6.03. Limitation on Liability of the Company, the Master Servicer
and Others. Neither the Company nor the Master Servicer nor any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or the Master Servicer
shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Holders of the REMIC I Regular
Interests or the Certificateholders for any action taken by such Person or by a
Servicer or for such Person's or Servicer's 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 Company, the Master
Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be
imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the
performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of duties and
obligations hereunder. The Company, the Master Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Company or the Master Servicer may rely in
good faith on any document of any kind properly executed and submitted by any
Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Company, the Master
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or the
Master Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any
loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating
to this Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense
relating to any Mortgage Loan (other than as otherwise permitted in this
Agreement) or incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Company and the Master
Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action which is not incidental to its duties to service the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with this Agreement and which in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that the Company or the Master Servicer
may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or
desirable with respect to the Mortgage Loans, this Agreement, the Certificates
or 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 expenses, costs and
liabilities of the Trust and the Company and the Master Servicer shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account, as provided
by Section 3.05.
Section 6.04. The Company and the Master Servicer not to Resign. The
Company shall not resign from the obligations and duties (including, without
limitation, its obligations and duties as initial Master Servicer) hereby
imposed on it except upon determination that its duties hereunder are no longer
permissible under applicable law. Any successor Master Servicer shall not resign
from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination
that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any
such determination permitting the resignation of the Company or any successor
Master Servicer shall be evidenced
108
by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such
resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor Master
Servicer shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof.
If the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer, then the successor
Master Servicer shall give prompt written notice to the Company of any
information received by such successor Master Servicer which affects or relates
to an ongoing obligation or right of the Company under this Agreement.
Section 6.05. Trustee Access. The Master Servicer shall afford the Company
and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to
all records maintained by the Master Servicer, in respect of the Mortgage Loans
and in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to such of its
officers as are responsible for such obligations. Upon reasonable request, the
Master Servicer, shall furnish the Company and the Trustee with its most recent
financial statements (or, for so long as the Company is the Master Servicer, the
most recent consolidated financial statements for the Company appearing in the
audited financial statements of Washington Mutual, Inc., or the entity with
whose financial statements the financial statements of the Company are
consolidated) and such other information as it possesses, and which it is not
prohibited by law or, to the extent applicable, binding obligations to third
parties with respect to confidentiality from disclosing, regarding its business,
affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise.
ARTICLE VII
Default
Section 7.01. Events of Default. (a) In case one or more of the following
Events of Default by the Master Servicer or by a successor Master Servicer shall
occur and be continuing, that is to say:
(i) Any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit into the Certificate
Account any payment required to be deposited therein by the Master Servicer
under the terms of this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period
of ten days after the date upon which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master
Servicer by the Trustee or to the Master Servicer and the Trustee by the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not
less than 25% of REMIC II; or
(ii) Failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or
perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on
the part of the Master Servicer contained in the Certificates or in this
Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date
on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee, or to the
Master Servicer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II; or
109
(iii) A decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee in
bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs,
shall have been entered against the Master Servicer and such decree or
order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of
60 days; or
(iv) The Master Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a trustee
in bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating
to all or substantially all of its property; or
(v) The Master Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage
of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment
of its obligations; or
(vi) Any failure of the Master Servicer to make any Monthly P&I
Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Advance) which continues unremedied at
the opening of business on the Distribution Date in respect of which such
Monthly P&I Advance was to have been made;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, either the Trustee or the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II, by notice in
writing to the Company and the Master Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by
the Certificateholders, in which case such notice shall set forth evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that such Event of Default has occurred
and shall not have been remedied) may terminate all of the rights (other than
its right to reimbursement for advances) and obligations of the Master Servicer,
including its right to the Master Servicing Fee, under this Agreement and in and
to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof, if any. Such determination shall
be final and binding. On or after the receipt by the Master Servicer of such
written notice, all authority and power of the Master Servicer under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans or
otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this
Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master Servicer, as
attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and
to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and
endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or
otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Trustee in effecting
the termination of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the transfer to the Trustee for administration by
it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Master
Servicer to the Certificate Account or thereafter be received with respect to
the Mortgage Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default described in clause
(vi) of this Section 7.01(a) shall occur, the Trustee shall, by notice in
writing to the Master Servicer, which may be delivered by telecopy, immediately
suspend all of the rights and obligations of the
110
Master Servicer thereafter arising under this Agreement, but without prejudice
to any rights it may have as a Certificateholder or to reimbursement of Monthly
P&I Advances and other advances of its own funds, and the Trustee shall act as
provided in Section 7.02 to carry out the duties of the Master Servicer,
including the obligation to make any Monthly P&I Advance the nonpayment of which
was an Event of Default described in clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a). Any
such action taken by the Trustee must be prior to the distribution on the
relevant Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer shall within two Business
Days following such suspension remit to the Trustee the amount of any Monthly
P&I Advance the nonpayment of which by the Master Servicer was an Event of
Default described in clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a), the Trustee, subject
to the last sentence of this paragraph, shall permit the Master Servicer to
resume its rights and obligations as Master Servicer hereunder. The Master
Servicer agrees that it will reimburse the Trustee for actual, necessary and
reasonable costs incurred by the Trustee because of action taken pursuant to
clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a). The Master Servicer agrees that if an Event
of Default as described in clause (vi) of this Section 7.01(a) shall occur more
than two times in any twelve month period, the Trustee shall be under no
obligation to permit the Master Servicer to resume its rights and obligations as
Master Servicer hereunder.
(b) In case one or more of the following Events of Default by the Company
shall occur and be continuing, that is to say:
(i) Failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform in
any material respect any of the covenants or agreements on the part of the
Company contained in the Certificates or in this Agreement which continues
unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice
of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not
less than 25% of REMIC II; or
(ii) A decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a trustee in
bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs,
shall have been entered against the Company and such decree or order shall
have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(iii) The Company shall consent to the appointment of a trustee in
bankruptcy, conservator or receiver or liquidator in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings of or relating to the Company or of or relating to all
or substantially all of its property; or
(iv) The Company shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of
its obligations;
111
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been remedied, the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II, by notice in writing to the
Company and the Trustee, may direct the Trustee in accordance with Section 10.03
to institute an action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder
to enforce the Company's obligations hereunder.
(c) In any circumstances in which this Agreement states that
Certificateholders owning Certificates evidencing a certain percentage
Percentage Interest in REMIC II may take certain action, such action shall be
taken by the Trustee, but only if the requisite percentage of Certificateholders
required under this Agreement for taking like action or giving like instruction
to the Trustee under this Agreement shall have so directed the Trustee in
writing.
Section 7.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
(a) On and after the date on which the Master Servicer receives a notice of
termination pursuant to Section 7.01 or the Master Servicer resigns pursuant to
Section 6.04, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master
Servicer under this Agreement and under the Selling and Servicing Contracts with
respect to the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool and with respect to the
transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall have all the rights and
powers and be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto arising on or after such date of termination or resignation
placed on the Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and thereof,
and shall have the same limitations on liability herein granted to the Master
Servicer; provided, that the Trustee shall not under any circumstances be
responsible for any representations and warranties or any Purchase Obligation of
the Company or any liability incurred by the Master Servicer prior to such date
of termination or resignation and the Trustee shall not be obligated to make a
Monthly P&I Advance if it is prohibited by law from so doing. As compensation
therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all funds relating to the Mortgage
Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to retain or to
withdraw from the Certificate Account if the Master Servicer had continued to
act hereunder, except for those amounts due to the Master Servicer as
reimbursement for advances previously made or amounts previously expended and
are otherwise reimbursable hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee
may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall if it is unable to so act,
appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any
established housing and home finance institution having a net worth of not less
than $10,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Master Servicer hereunder. Pending any such appointment, the Trustee is
obligated to act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and
assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such
successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall
agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall, together with the
compensation to the Trustee, be in excess of that permitted the Master Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee and such successor shall take such actions, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.
(b) In connection with any termination or resignation of the Master
Servicer hereunder, in the event that any of the Mortgage Loans are MERS Loans,
either (i) the successor Master Servicer (including the Trustee if the Trustee
is acting as successor Master Servicer) shall represent and warrant that it is a
member of MERS in good standing and shall agree to comply in
112
all material respects with the rules and procedures of MERS in connection with
the servicing of the MERS Loans, in which case the predecessor Master Servicer
shall cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in registering the transfer
of servicing of the MERS Loans to the successor Master Servicer on the MERS(R)
System in accordance with MERS' rules and procedures, or (ii) if the successor
Master Servicer is not a member of MERS, the predecessor Master Servicer shall
cooperate with the successor Master Servicer in (A) de-registering the MERS
Loans from the MERS(R) System and (B) causing MERS to execute and deliver an
assignment from MERS to the Trust of the Mortgage securing each MERS Loan in
recordable form and in the form otherwise provided under clause (X)(iii) of the
definition of "Mortgage File" herein and to execute and deliver such other
notices, documents and other instruments as may be necessary or desirable to
effect such de-registration and assignment. The predecessor Master Servicer
shall bear any and all fees of MERS and all fees and costs of preparing and
recording any assignments of Mortgages as required under this Section 7.02(b).
Section 7.03. Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any such termination
or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer, the Trustee shall give
prompt written notice thereof to the Certificateholders at their respective
addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
ARTICLE VIII
Concerning the Trustees
Section 8.01. Duties of Trustees.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after
the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or
waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by
this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person's own affairs.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to it which
are specifically required to be furnished to it pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they are in the form
required by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any such certificate, statement,
opinion, report, or other order or instrument furnished by the Company or Master
Servicer to the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its
own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however,
that:
113
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the duties
and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement,
(ii) Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be liable
except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee, and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, such 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 such trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; and
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be personally
liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith in accordance with the direction of the Certificateholders
holding Certificates which evidence Percentage Interests aggregating not
less than 25% of REMIC II relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to such trustee, or
relating to the exercise of any trust or power conferred upon such trustee
under this Agreement.
(d) Within ten Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default
known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Rating Agencies
notice of each Event of Default. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any
Event of Default known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all
Certificateholders (with a copy to the Rating Agencies) notice of each Event of
Default, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; provided,
however, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so
long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Certificateholders;
and provided, further, that in the case of any Event of Default of the character
specified in Section 7.01(i) and Section 7.01(ii) no such notice to
Certificateholders or to the Rating Agencies shall be given until at least 30
days after the occurrence thereof.
Section 8.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustees. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.01:
(i) Each of the Trustee and the Delaware 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, approval, bond or other paper or document believed by it to
be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;
(ii) Each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may consult with
counsel and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel;
114
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be personally
liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably
believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or
powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(iv) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, neither
the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested
in writing to do so by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 25% of REMIC II; provided, however,
that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it
in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of such trustee, not
reasonably assured to such trustee by the security, if any, afforded to it
by the terms of this Agreement, such trustee may require reasonable
indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to proceeding;
(v) Each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may execute the trust
or any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either
directly or by or through agents or attorneys selected by it with
reasonable care or (as in the case of the Initial Custodian) designated by
the Company;
(vi) Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee shall be deemed to
have knowledge or notice of any matter, including without limitation an
Event of Default, unless actually known by a Responsible Officer, or unless
written notice thereof referencing this Agreement or the Certificates is
received at the Notice Address of such trustee;
(vii) In no event shall the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee be held
liable for acts or omissions of the Master Servicer or the other trustee
(excepting the Trustee's own actions as Master Servicer). No provision of
this Agreement shall require the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder (except for the giving of
required notices), or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured
to it;
(viii) When the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.02, and to the extent permitted under applicable law, the Trustee
is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted
hereunder, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one
or more of its affiliates, whether it or its affiliate is acting as an
agent of the Trustee or of any third person or dealing as principal for its
own account; and
115
(ix) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, in no event shall
the Trustee be under any duty or obligation to monitor, determine,
investigate or compel compliance by the Trust with the requirements of the
Statutory Trust Statute.
Section 8.03. Trustees Not Liable for Certificates or Mortgage Loans. The
recitals contained herein (other than those relating to the due organization,
power and authority of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee) and in the
Certificates (other than the execution of, and certificate of authentication on,
the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the Company or the Trust,
as applicable, and neither the Trustee nor the Delaware Trustee assumes any
responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor the Delaware
Trustee makes any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Agreement or of the Certificates or any Mortgage Loan. Neither the Trustee nor
the Delaware Trustee shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company or the Trust, as applicable, of any of the Certificates or of the
proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to the Master Servicer, the Servicers or the Company in respect of the Mortgage
Loans or deposited into the Custodial Accounts for P&I, any Buydown Fund
Account, or the Custodial Accounts for P&I by any Servicer or into the
Investment Account, or the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer or the
Company.
Section 8.04. Trustees May Own Certificates. The Trustee, the Delaware
Trustee or any agent or affiliate of such trustee, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with the same
rights it would have if it were not trustee.
Section 8.05. The Master Servicer to Pay Trustees' Fees and Expenses.
Subject to separate written agreements with the Trustee and the Delaware
Trustee, the Master Servicer covenants and agrees to, and the Master Servicer
shall, pay each of the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee from time to time, and
such trustee shall be entitled to payment, for all services rendered by it in
the execution of the trust hereby created and in the exercise and performance of
any of the powers and duties hereunder of such trustee. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay or reimburse each of
the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee upon such trustee's request for all
reasonable expenses and disbursements incurred or made by such trustee in
accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement and indemnify such
trustee from any loss, liability or expense incurred by it hereunder (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel
and of all persons not regularly in its employ and any expenses which arise out
of or are imposed upon the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee in connection with
the creation, operation or termination of the Trust) except any such expense or
disbursement as may arise from its own negligence or bad faith. Such obligation
shall survive the termination of this Agreement or resignation or removal of the
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee. The Tax Matters Person shall, at its expense,
prepare or cause to be prepared all federal and state income tax and franchise
tax and information returns relating to REMIC I or REMIC II required to be
prepared or filed by the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and shall indemnify the
Trustee and the Delaware Trustee for any liability of such trustees arising from
any error in such returns.
Section 8.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustees. The Trustee hereunder
shall at all times be (i) an institution insured by the FDIC, (ii) a Corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or
of any state, authorized under such laws to
116
exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of not
less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or
state authority and (iii) acceptable to the Rating Agencies. If such Corporation
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of any aforementioned supervising or examining authority, then for
the purposes of this Section 8.06, the combined capital and surplus of such
Corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. The Delaware Trustee
hereunder shall at all times have its principal place of business in the State
of Delaware and shall satisfy the applicable requirements under the laws of the
State of Delaware authorizing it to act as the Delaware trustee of the Trust. In
case at any time the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.06, such trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.07.
Section 8.07. Resignation and Removal of Trustees. Each of the Trustee and
the Delaware Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trust
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Master Servicer. Upon
receiving such notice of resignation, the Master Servicer shall promptly appoint
a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning trustee and one copy to the
successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and
shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice
of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Master Servicer, or if at any time
the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall
be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of such trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of such trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Master Servicer may remove such trustee
and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, copies of
which instrument shall be delivered to the trustee so removed, the trustee
continuing in its capacity and the successor trustee.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating
more than 50% of REMIC II may at any time remove the Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments, in
triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys in-fact duly authorized,
one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Master Servicer,
one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor
so appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee and
appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Section 8.07 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee as provided in Section 8.08. Any expenses associated with the
resignation of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be borne by such
trustee, and any expenses associated with the removal of the Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee shall be borne by the Master Servicer.
117
Section 8.08. Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as
provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Master
Servicer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed
or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally
named as Trustee or Delaware Trustee herein. The predecessor shall deliver to
the successor trustee all Mortgage Files, related documents, statements and all
other property held by it hereunder, and the Master Servicer and the predecessor
trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as
may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming
in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
8.08 unless at the time of such appointment such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 8.08, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to (i) all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register and (ii) the Rating Agencies. If the Master Servicer
fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed.
Section 8.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any Corporation into
which the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall
be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of
such trustee, shall be the successor of such trustee hereunder, provided such
resulting or successor Corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of
Section 8.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Section 8.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of
meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the
assets of the Trust may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, acting jointly shall have the
power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by such trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly
with such trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part
of the assets of the Trust and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such
capacity, such title to the assets of the Trust, or any part thereof, and,
subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee, as applicable, may consider necessary or desirable; provided,
that the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall remain liable for
all of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. If the Master Servicer
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, alone shall have
the power to make such appointment; provided, that such trustee shall remain
liable for all of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. No co-trustee
or
118
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as
a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to
Certificateholders of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s)
shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant
to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, shall be
conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee, as applicable, and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly
and severally, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
which any particular act or acts are to be performed by the Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee, as applicable (whether as Trustee or Delaware Trustee
hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), such trustee shall
be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the
assets of the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction
of the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee or the Delaware
Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then related separate
trustee(s) and co-trustee(s), as effectively as if given to each of them. Every
instrument appointing any separate trustee(s) or co-trustee(s) shall refer to
this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee
and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested
with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either
jointly with the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee, as applicable. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee
or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full
power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act
under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or
be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and the trust shall
vest in and be exercised by the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as applicable,
to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor
trustee.
Section 8.11. Authenticating Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or more
Authenticating Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee
in authenticating Certificates. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to
the authentication of Certificates by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate
of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on
behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of
authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.
Each Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Master Servicer and must be
a corporation, trust company or banking association organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having a

119
business in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.
Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business
of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent so
long as it shall be eligible in accordance with the provisions of the first
paragraph of this Section 8.11 without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Trustee and the Master Servicer. The Trustee may, upon prior
written approval of the Master Servicer, at any time terminate the agency of any
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Master Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 8.11, the Trustee may appoint,
upon prior written approval of the Master Servicer, a successor Authenticating
Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Master Servicer and
shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor
Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating
Agent. Any reasonable compensation paid to an Authenticating Agent shall be a
reimbursable expense pursuant to Section 8.05 if paid by the Trustee.
Section 8.12. Paying Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or more Paying
Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee in making
withdrawals from the Certificate Account, and distributions to
Certificateholders as provided in Section 4.01, Section 4.04(a) and Section
9.01(b) to the extent directed to do so by the Master Servicer. Wherever
reference is made in this Agreement to the withdrawal from the Certificate
Account by the Trustee, such reference shall be deemed to include such a
withdrawal on behalf of the Trustee by a Paying Agent. Whenever reference is
made in this Agreement to a distribution by the Trustee or the furnishing of a
statement to Certificateholders by the Trustee, such reference shall be deemed
to include such a distribution or furnishing on behalf of the Trustee by a
Paying Agent. Each Paying Agent shall provide to the Trustee such information
concerning the Certificate Account as the Trustee shall request from time to
time. Each Paying Agent must be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer and
must be a corporation, trust company or banking association organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, having
a principal office and place of business in New York, New York or a principal

New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$15,000,000, authorized under such laws to do a trust business and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.

with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which any Paying Agent shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the
120
corporate agency business of any Paying Agent, shall continue to be the Paying
Agent provided that such corporation after the consummation of such merger,
conversion, consolidation or succession meets the eligibility requirements of
this Section 8.12.
Any Paying Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Trustee and to the Master Servicer; provided, that the Paying
Agent has returned to the Certificate Account or otherwise accounted, to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Master Servicer, for all amounts it has withdrawn
from the Certificate Account. The Trustee may, upon prior written approval of
the Master Servicer, at any time terminate the agency of any Paying Agent by
giving written notice of termination to such Paying Agent and to the Master
Servicer. Upon receiving a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or
in case at any time any Paying Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 8.12, the Trustee may
appoint, upon prior written approval of the Master Servicer, a successor Paying
Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Master Servicer and
shall mail notice of such appointment to all Certificateholders. Any successor
Paying Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Paying Agent. Any
reasonable compensation paid to any Paying Agent shall be a reimbursable expense
pursuant to Section 8.05 if paid by the Trustee.

Section 9.01. Termination Upon Purchase by the Master Servicer or
Liquidation of All Mortgage Loans.
(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Article IX, including, without
limitation, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make payments to
Certificateholders as hereafter set forth, the Trust and the respective
obligations and responsibilities of the Company, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee and the Delaware Trustee created hereby shall terminate in accordance
with Section 3808 of the Statutory Trust Statute upon (i) the purchase by the
Master Servicer pursuant to the following paragraph of this Section 9.01(a) of
all Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired
in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property
included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement at a price equal, after the
deduction of related advances, to the sum of (x) the excess of (A) 100% of the
aggregate outstanding Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loans (other than
Liquidated Mortgage Loans) plus accrued interest at the applicable Pass-Through
Rate with respect to such Mortgage Loan (other than a Liquidated Mortgage Loan)
through the last day of the month of such purchase, over (B) with respect to any
Mortgage Loan which is not a Liquidated Mortgage Loan, the amount of the
Bankruptcy Loss incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan as of the date of
such purchase by the Master Servicer to the extent that the Principal Balance of
such Mortgage Loan has not been previously reduced by such Bankruptcy Loss, and
(y) the appraised fair market value as of the effective date of the termination
of the Trust of (A) all property in the Trust which secured a Mortgage Loan and
which was acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure after the
Cut-Off Date, including related Insurance Proceeds, and (B) all other property
included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement, any such appraisal to be
conducted by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the Master Servicer and the

or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure in respect of any
Mortgage Loan, and the payment to the Certificateholders of all amounts required

Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor
of the issue of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to
the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof.
On any Distribution Date after the first date on which the aggregate
Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans is less than the Clean-Up Call
Percentage of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the
Cut-Off Date, the Master Servicer may purchase the outstanding Mortgage Loans
(other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any
Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all other property included in any
REMIC formed under this Agreement at the price stated in clause (i) of the
preceding paragraph; provided, that the Master Servicer may not so purchase the
outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated
122
Mortgage Loans), all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining
in the Trust and all other property included in any REMIC formed under this
Agreement if the price stated in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph exceeds
the fair market value, determined in accordance with prudent industry practices,
of all outstanding Mortgage Loans (other than Liquidated Mortgage Loans), all
property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan remaining in the Trust and all
other property included in any REMIC formed under this Agreement. If such right
is exercised, the Master Servicer shall provide to the Trustee (and to the
Company, if the Company is no longer acting as Master Servicer) the written
certification of an officer of the Master Servicer (which certification shall
include a statement to the effect that all amounts required to be paid in order
to purchase the Mortgage Loans have been deposited in the Certificate Account)
and the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall promptly execute all instruments as
may be necessary to release and assign to the Master Servicer the Mortgage Files
and any foreclosed Mortgaged Property pertaining to the Trust.
In no event shall the Master Servicer be required to expend any amounts
other than those described in the first paragraph of this Section 9.01(a) in
order to terminate the Trust or purchase the Mortgage Loans under this Section
9.01, and in no event shall the Company be required to expend any amounts in
connection with such termination or purchase.
(b) Notice of any termination, specifying the date upon which the
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment
and cancellation, shall be given promptly by letter from the Trustee to
Certificateholders mailed not less than 30 days prior to such final
distribution, specifying (i) the date upon which final payment of the
Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the
office of the Certificate Registrar therein designated (the "Termination Date"),
(ii) the amount of such final payment (the "Termination Payment") and (iii) that
the Record Date otherwise applicable to the Distribution Date upon which the
Termination Date occurs is not applicable, payments being made only upon
presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office of the Certificate
Registrar therein specified. Upon any such notice, the Certificate Account shall
terminate subject to the Master Servicer's obligation to hold all amounts
payable to Certificateholders in trust without interest pending such payment.
In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within six months after the Termination Date, the
Master Servicer shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the Termination Payment with respect thereto. If within one year after the
second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Master Servicer may take appropriate steps to contact the
remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the
cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which remain in
trust hereunder.
Upon the completion of winding up of the Trust, including the payment or
the making reasonable provision for payment of all obligations of the Trust in
accordance with Section 3808(e) of the Statutory Trust Statute, the Delaware
Trustee shall prepare, the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee and any other trustee
hereunder shall sign, and the Delaware Trustee (upon the Trustee's consent
acting at the direction of the Master Servicer) shall file, a certificate of
cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 3810 of the
Statutory Trust
123
Statute, at which time the Trust and this Agreement shall terminate. The Master
Servicer shall act as the liquidator of the Trust and shall be responsible for
taking all actions in connection with winding up the Trust, in accordance with
the requirements of this Agreement (including this Section 9.01 and Section
9.02) and applicable law.
Section 9.02. Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer exercises its purchase option as
provided in Section 9.01, REMIC I and REMIC II shall be terminated in accordance
with the following additional requirements, unless the Master Servicer, at its
own expense, obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
the failure of REMIC I and REMIC II to comply with the requirements of this
Section 9.02 will not (i) result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of REMIC I and REMIC II as described in Section 860F of the Code,
or (ii) cause REMIC I or REMIC II to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that
any Certificates are outstanding:
(i) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth in
the notice given by the Trustee under Section 9.01, the Tax Matters Person
shall prepare the documentation required and the Tax Matters Person and the
Trustee shall adopt a plan of complete liquidation on behalf of REMIC I and
REMIC II meeting the requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section
860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder, as evidenced by an Opinion
of Counsel obtained at the expense of the Master Servicer, on behalf of
REMIC I and REMIC II; and
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Master
Servicer as agent of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I
and REMIC II to the Master Servicer for cash in the amount specified in
Section 9.01.
(b) By its acceptance of any Residual Certificate, the Holder thereof
hereby agrees to authorize the Tax Matters Person and the Trustee to adopt such
a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the Tax Matters
Person and the Trustee and to take such other action in connection therewith as
may be reasonably requested by the Tax Matters Person or the Trustee.
Section 9.03. Trust Irrevocable. Except as expressly provided herein, the
trust created hereby is irrevocable.
ARTICLE X

Certificateholders:

defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein;

(v) pursuant to Section 5.01(c)(v); and
(vi) to add any provision to, or amend any provision in, this
Agreement, provided that such amendment or addition does not adversely
affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder;
provided, however, that any such amendment which modifies the rights or
obligations of the Delaware Trustee hereunder shall require the consent of the
Delaware Trustee. No such amendment (other than one entered into pursuant to
clause (iii) of the preceding sentence) shall change the powers of the Master
Servicer. Prior to entering into any amendment (other than one entered into
pursuant to clause (iii) of the second preceding sentence) without the consent
of Certificateholders pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee shall require an
Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trust and the Trustee to the effect that
such amendment is permitted under this Agreement and has no material adverse
effect on the interests of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no
such Opinion of Counsel shall be required if the Company obtains a letter from
each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the
Certificates. Prior to entering into any amendment pursuant to clause (iii) of
the third preceding sentence without the consent of Certificateholders pursuant
to this paragraph, the Trustee shall require an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that such action is necessary or helpful to comply with the requirements imposed
by the Code or any regulations thereunder and shall not cause any REMIC formed
under this Agreement to fail to qualify as such under the Code.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Master
Servicer, the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of
Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66% of
REMIC II for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Certificate affected
thereby (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
distributions of principal or interest required to be made hereunder or reduce
the Certificateholder's Percentage Interest, the Certificate Interest Rate or
the Termination Payment with respect to any of the Certificates, (ii) reduce the
percentage of Percentage Interests specified in this Section 10.01 which are
required to amend this Agreement, (iii) create or permit the creation of any
lien against any part of REMIC I or REMIC II, or (iv) modify any provision in
any way which would permit an earlier retirement of the Certificates; provided,
further, that any such amendment which modifies the
125
rights or obligations of the Delaware Trustee hereunder shall require the
consent of the Delaware Trustee.
Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee shall
furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to the Delaware
Trustee and each Certificateholder. Any failure to provide such notice, or any
defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of
any such amendment.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 10.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Section 10.02. Recordation of Agreement. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, this Agreement is subject to recordation in all appropriate
public offices for real property records in all the counties or the comparable
jurisdictions in which any Mortgaged Property is situated, and in any other
appropriate public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be
effected by the Company and at its expense on direction by the Trustee, but only
upon direction accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Certificateholders. Without limiting the foregoing, the Trustee shall make the
filings required by Chapter 182 of the Massachusetts General Laws.
Section 10.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or
incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
proceeding in any court for a partition or winding-up of the Trust, nor
otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto
or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote or in any manner
otherwise to control the operation and management of the Trust or the
obligations of the parties hereto (except as provided in Section 5.09, Section
7.01, Section 8.01, Section 8.02, Section 8.07, Section 10.01 and this Section
10.03), nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the
Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time
to time as partners or members of an association; nor shall any
Certificateholder be under any liability to any third person by reason of any
action taken by the parties to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any
provision of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of default
and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less
than 25% of REMIC II shall have made written request upon the Trustee to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder
and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or
thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request
and offer
126
of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit
or proceeding. However, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of
the extraordinary trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to make any
investigation of matters arising hereunder or to institute, conduct or defend
any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or
direction of any of the Certificateholders unless such Certificateholders have
offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby. It is
understood and intended, and expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with
every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by
availing of any provision of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the
rights of the Holders of any other of such Certificates, or to obtain or seek to
obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any
right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders. For the protection
and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 10.03, each and every
Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.
Section 10.04. Access to List of Certificateholders. The Certificate
Registrar shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee, within 30 days
after receipt of a request by the Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as
the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date for payment of
distributions to such Certificateholders.
If three or more Certificateholders (hereinafter referred to as
"applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that
the applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect
to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is
accompanied by a copy of the communication which such applicants propose to
transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of
such list from the Certificate Registrar, afford such applicants access during
normal business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the
Trustee. If such a list is as of a date more than 90 days prior to the date of
receipt of such applicants' request, the Trustee shall promptly request from the
Certificate Registrar a current list as provided above, and shall afford such
applicants access to such list promptly upon receipt.
Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the
Master Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee and the Delaware Trustee that none of
the Master Servicer, the Trust, the Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be
held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the
names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the
source from which such information was derived.
Section 10.05. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to its
conflict of laws provisions and the obligations, rights and remedies of the
parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws without
giving effect to conflict of laws provisions.

or not the Certificateholder receives such notice.

covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be for any
reason whatsoever held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or

provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement or of the Certificates
or the rights of the Holders thereof.
Section 10.08. Counterpart Signatures. For the purpose of facilitating the
recordation of this Agreement as herein provided and for other purposes, this
Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of
which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts
shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Certificate, expressed or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the

WASHINGTON MUTUAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES CORP.
WaMu MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATE
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as WaMu Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates of the Series and Class
specified hereon (herein called the "Certificates") and representing certain
interests in REMIC I and REMIC II.
The Certificates do not represent an obligation of, or an interest in, the
Company or any of its affiliates and are not insured or guaranteed by any
governmental agency. The Certificates are limited in right of payment to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling Agreement. In the event funds
are advanced with respect to any Mortgage Loan, such advance is reimbursable to
the Master Servicer from the related recoveries on such Mortgage Loan or from
other cash deposited in the Certificate Account to the extent that such advance
is not otherwise recoverable.
As provided in the Pooling Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate
Account may be made from time to time for purposes other than distributions to
Certificateholders, such purposes including reimbursement to the Master Servicer
of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, by it.
The Pooling Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Pooling Agreement at
any time by the Company, the Master Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of the Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not
less than 66% of REMIC II. The Pooling 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 Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or the office maintained by
the Trustee in the City and State of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent duly executed by,
the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of Authorized Denominations evidencing
the same Percentage Interest set forth hereinabove will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Authorized Denominations specified in the Pooling Agreement. As
provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of Authorized
Denominations of like Certificate Principal Balance or Percentage Interest, as
applicable, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
A reasonable service charge may be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Company, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Company, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
B-4
The obligations created by the Pooling Agreement and the Trust created
thereby shall terminate upon (i) the later of the maturity or other liquidation
(including purchase by the Master Servicer) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining
in the Trust or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or
deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to
them pursuant to the Pooling Agreement. In the event that the Company or the
Master Servicer purchases any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Pooling Agreement,
the Pooling Agreement generally requires that the Trustee distribute to the
Certificateholders in the aggregate an amount equal to 100% of the unpaid
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus unpaid accrued interest thereon at
the applicable Pass-Through Rate to the last day of the month in which such
purchase occurs. The Pooling Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master
Servicer to purchase from the Trust all Mortgage Loans at the time subject
thereto and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan upon payment
to the Certificateholders of the amounts specified in the Pooling Agreement. The
exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates, the
Master Servicer's right to purchase being subject to the aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than the
Clean-Up Call Percentage of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.

incident to the origination, sale and servicing of the mortgage loans subject to
this Agreement. In the performance of its servicing duties, the Company shall
exercise the same degree of care it exercises when servicing mortgage loans for

reasonable prudent servicer would exercise under similar circumstances. In
addition, the Company shall comply with all of the provisions of the Guides and
with all other requirements and instructions of Washington Mutual Mortgage. The
Company shall perform such duties at its sole expense, except as otherwise

by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Such a written waiver or
amendment must expressly reference this Agreement. However, by their terms the

time. Any such amendment(s) to the Guides shall be in writing and be binding
upon the parties hereto on and after the effective date specified therein.
11. Miscellaneous. This Agreement, including all documents incorporated by
reference herein, constitutes the entire understanding between the parties
hereto and supersedes all other agreements, covenants, representations,
warranties, understandings and communications between the parties, whether
written or oral, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. All section headings contained herein are for convenience only and
shall not be construed as part of this Agreement. Any provision of this
Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall as to

the Trustee in the City and State of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied
by an assignment in the form below or other written instrument of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent duly executed by,
the Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates of Authorized Denominations evidencing
the same Percentage Interest set forth hereinabove will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
[to be used only in the case of the Junior Subordinate Certificates:] [No
transfer of a Certificate will be made unless such transfer is exempt from or is
made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and any applicable state securities
laws. In the event that a transfer is to be made without registration or
qualification under applicable laws, (i) in the event such transfer is made
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, the Company and the Trustee
shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter in substantially
the form attached as Exhibit L to the Pooling Agreement, which investment letter
shall not be an expense of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trust or the
Trustee and (ii) in the event that such a transfer is not made pursuant to Rule
144A under the Securities Act, the Company may require an Opinion of Counsel
satisfactory to the Company that such transfer may be made without such
registration or qualification, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense
of the Company, the Master Servicer, the Trust or the Trustee. Neither the
Company nor the Trust will register the Certificate under the Securities Act,
qualify the Certificate under any state securities law or provide registration
rights to any purchaser. Any Holder
H-3
desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the
Trust, the Trustee, the Company and the Master Servicer against any liability
that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.]
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in Authorized Denominations specified in the Pooling Agreement. As
provided in the Pooling Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of Authorized
Denominations of like Certificate Principal Balance or Percentage Interest, as
applicable, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
A reasonable service charge may be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, and the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Company, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the
Company, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose
name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and
neither the Company, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The obligations created by the Pooling Agreement and the Trust created
thereby shall terminate upon (i) the later of the maturity or other liquidation
(including purchase by the Master Servicer) of the last Mortgage Loan remaining
in the Trust or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or
deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the payment to
Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Trustee and required to be paid to
them pursuant to the Pooling Agreement. In the event that the Company or the
Master Servicer purchases any Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Pooling Agreement,
the Pooling Agreement generally requires that the Trustee distribute to the
Certificateholders in the aggregate an amount equal to 100% of the unpaid
Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus unpaid accrued interest thereon at
the applicable Pass-Through Rate to the last day of the month in which such
purchase occurs. The Pooling Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master
Servicer to purchase from the Trust all Mortgage Loans at the time subject
thereto and all property acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan upon payment
to the Certificateholders of the amounts specified in the Pooling Agreement. The
exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates, the
Master Servicer's right to purchase being subject to the aggregate Principal
Balance of the Mortgage Loans at the time of purchase being less than the
Clean-Up Call Percentage of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Mortgage
Loans as of the Cut-Off Date.

[NAME OF OFFICER], being first duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. That he is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner] (record or

ownership interest in the Class R Certificates, and (ii) is acquiring the Class
R Certificates for its own account or for the account of another Owner from
which it has received an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form
as this affidavit and agreement. (For this purpose, a disqualified organization"
means the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, or any
agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality
all of the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not
selected by any such governmental entity), or any foreign government or
international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign
government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any

unrelated business taxable income).
3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of the Class R Certificates after March 31, 1988; (ii) that such tax
would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer is through an agent (which
person includes a broker, nominee or middle-man) for a disqualified
organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable for the tax
shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee furnishes to such
person an affidavit that the transferee is not a disqualified organization and,
at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that the
affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be a "noneconomic
residual interest" within the meaning of Treasury regulations promulgated
pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic residual interest
will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the income on such residual
interest, if a significant purpose of the transfer was to enable the transferor
to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding the Class R Certificates if at any time during the taxable year
of the pass-through entity a disqualified organization is the record holder of
an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass through entity" includes
a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust
fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
J-1
5. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
Transfer of the Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferees'
agent, delivers to it an affidavit and agreement, among other things, in

agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes
that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are
false.

deliver payments to a person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale
by the Trustee in the event the Owner holds such Certificates in violation of
Section 5.01). The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such
restrictions and provisions.
7. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified
organization.
8. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is __________________.
9. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the purchase of the Class
R Certificates by the Owner is or will be to enable the transferor to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
10. That the Owner anticipates that it will, so long as it holds the
Class R Certificates, have sufficient assets to pay any taxes owed by the holder
of such Certificates, and hereby represents to and for the benefit of the person
from whom it acquired the Class R Certificates that the Owner intends to pay
taxes associated with holding such Certificates as they become due, fully
understanding that it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows
generated by the Class R Certificates. That the Owner has provided financial
statements or other financial information requested by the transferor in
connection with the transfer of the Class R Certificates to permit the
transferor to assess the financial capability of the Owner to pay such taxes.
11. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
12. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any
of the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
13. That no purpose of the Owner relating to any sale of the Class R
Certificates by the Owner will be to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
14. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or an estate or
trust whose income from sources without the United States is includible in gross
income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its
connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States.
15. The Owner hereby agrees to cooperate with the Company and to take
any action required of it by the Code or Treasury regulations thereunder
(whether now or hereafter promulgated) in order to create or maintain the REMIC
status of REMIC I and REMIC II (the "REMICs").
J-2
16. The Owner hereby agrees that it will not take any action that
could endanger the REMIC status of the REMICs or result in the imposition of tax
on the REMICs unless counsel for, or acceptable to, the Company has provided an
opinion that such action will not result in the loss of such REMIC status or the
imposition of such tax, as applicable.
17. The Owner as transferee of the Class R Certificates has
represented to the transferor that, if the Class R Certificates constitute a
noneconomic residual interest, the Owner (i) understands that as holder of a
noneconomic residual interest it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash
flows generated by the interest, and (ii) intends to pay taxes associated with
its holding of the Class R Certificates as they become due.

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